The interest rates from Cues were 8. 66% for 3 years, 9 .25% for 4 years, 9 .58% for 5 years. In financing this equipment in-house, we are requesting a budget transfer amending the current year's capital budget. This transfer would be from the Retained Earnings Designated for Future Maintenance Fund, balance being $74,851.00 which is an accumulating fund, to the Sewer Operations Capital Equipment account 730-4121-703. RECOMMENDATION: Staff recommends the purchase of a TV trailer unit from Cues, Inc. for $50,000 to be charged to Sewer Account, 730-4121-703 and adopt Resolution No. 3085 authorizing the use of $41,000 of Retained Earnings Designated for Future Maintenance for purchase of said equipment and to approve a budget amendment of $41,000 . mu/mjs WOVIch ff M1MORANDUM Memo To :Mayor and Council Members From :Ric Minetor, Acting Clerk-Administrator Date :September 6, 1990 Subject :Ardan Park Composting Site Improvements Attached is a letter from Ramsey County regarding site improvements for Ardan Park Composting Site. I have discussed the proposed improvements with County personnel and concur in the recommendations. The council may wish to restrict the site to leaf composting; however, the County has indicated that other sites with good drainage have functioned well with grass clippings. The odor problems at Ardan Park have been the result of poor drainage. The County indicated that the Council can close the site to grass clippings if they wish. I recommend that the Council approve of Ramsey County's proposed improvements with the understanding that this is primarily to address the leaf problem this fall and next sprite RAMSEY COUNTY BOARD OF HEALTH , ED PUBLIC HEALTH DEPARTMENT Hal Norgard,Chairman DIVISION OF SOLID WASTE Diane Ahrens John T.

M i n e t o r : I am writing to follow up discussions between the City and County on the Mounds View yard waste site located in Ardan Park . At the City Council meeting on August 20 , 1990 , the Council indicated its interest in keeping the site open for use by citizens through at least the spring of 1991 . The Council did not object to site improvements necessary to operate the site during that period , and suggested that the County inspect the soils on site to aid in determining the long-term viability of this site for managing yard waste . The Ramsey County Public Works Department gave the Solid Waste Division an opinion regarding the soil base at the site , after conducting an analysis of the soils . The soils on site are sandy loam (technically classified as Lino-loamy fine sand) . In the opinion of the engineer the soils should be adequate for a yard waste site, with or without the addition of gravel . He recommended that the site be graded for drainage . After grading, the soils on site should be adequate for site operation . Based on this opinion the Solid Waste Division, in consultation with you and the County Public Works Department , has prepared a revised plan to make the site usable for the coming season . We recommend the following-: o Temporarily move material off -site ; o Grade the site to drain cast toward the .=wale ; o Repair the fence ; o Relocate the gates and change the traffic pattern ; o Install n e w signs to direct aaific ; o Replace material on- site in windrows aligned east -west ; and o Have monitor present at all times the site is open . In order for the site to be ready for this fall the work will need to commence by September 17 , 1990 . As previously stated , we will need approval of the City to proceed with this work , as the City owns the site . In the event that the City does not wish to upgrade the quality of this site , we recommend that the site be closed, as it could not be properly managed. Printed on recycled paper Mr . Ric Hinetor September 5, 1990 Page two If approved by the City, the Solid Waste Division will make the necessary arrangements for this work. The County will pay for the site improvements , and will reimburse the City ' s expenses for a site monitor , as has been the practice in previous years . Please contact me when you have reached a decision . Thank you for your consideration of this matter .

Clerk-Administrator • c1D6rivy, • 11--- TO: Mayor & Council FROM: Don Brager, Finance Director - Treasurer DATE: August 29, 1990 SUBJECT: Consideration of Increase in City Attorney's Fees City Attorney Mark Karney has proposed an increase in the fees charged the City for legal services. The new rate would be $60. 00 per hour compared to the previous rate of $50. 00. In the past if an increase was proposed it was included in the budget and became effective with adoption of the budget. This year the increase is proposed to become effective immediately. Since the Council approves all professional services I am bringing this matter to your attention. The enclosed letter from Mark Karney addresses the rationale behind the increase in rates. Staff awaits Council direction on this matter. DB/hs C:deptadm\attorney • MARK A. KARNEY • ATTORNEY AT LAW SUITE 620 ROSEVILLE PROFESSIONAL CENTER 2233 HAMLINE AVENUE NORTH ROSEVILLE,MINNESOTA 55113 TELEPHONE 1612)636-9654 TELEFAX 1612)836-2474 H.RICK FRITZ RICHARD MEYERS OF COUNSEL August 21, 1990 Don Braeger SENT BY FAX & U.S. MAIL City of Mounds View 2401 Highway 10 Mounds View, MN 55112 Dear Don: I discussed with Dick the matter regarding the increase in hourly attorney fees rate. As I indicated, the rate was going to go to $60 . 00 per hour. You suggested that I may want to bring this to the Council, but I talked to Dick and he said that in the past any increases have simply been submitted with the bill and information past on to you or the City Clerk/Administrator for • input regarding the proposed budget for the upcoming year. The bad news is that we feel that we have to increase our rates from $50 to $60 per hour to be competitive with our costs and expenses . The good news is that I don't believe this will affect your budget whatsoever because last year was extremely high for legal time. We are hoping that this year the number of hours of legal services we provide to the City will actually decrease and this should result in about an equal amount charged in attorney fees in terms of the budget. Therefore, I suggest that you budget the same amount for legal expenses as you did-last year (approximately $81,000) and hopefully the total amount billed this year will come in below budget as it did last year. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call me. Yours truly, y` Mark A. Karney EJ MAR:srf y Ill 111 MEMORANDUM Memo To :Mayor and Council Members From :Ric Minetor,Acting Clerk-Administrator Date :August 30, 1990 Subject :Surface Water Management Utility Public Information Meeting Synopsis On Tuesday, August 28th a Public Information Meeting was held in City Hall regarding the proposal of establishing a Surface Water Management Utility. Approximately 40 people attended the meeting. Since this was an informational meeting no formal minutes were kept nor were any actions taken. Mark Lobermeir of Short-Elliott-Hendrickson ( our consulting engineers on this project ) presented the information regarding the legal basis for a utility, the alternatives to a utility, the basis of charges, and typical charges. We then opened the meeting to a question and answer period. A large number of the residents • were concerned about the projects included in the surface water management plan. It was very apparent that few, if any of those in attendance were familiar with the SWM plan adopted by the Council this past spring. The majority of the concerns appeared to revolve around the SWM plan. A second concern addressed was why the City needed additional revenue. In explaining the requirements of the state mandated surface water management plan and the need to implement the plan, a number of residents expressed concern that the current system of special assessments for specific projects was a fairer method than a utility. A third concern was regarding the specific requirements of state law in regards to water quality limits. We explained that the state basically looked at "Best Management Practices" rather than specific pollutant or sediment loading. The main concern expressed was the need for more input and information. It appears that another public information meeting may be needed to address the concerns of the public. If the Council concurs with this assessment, the public hearing set for September 24th should be canceled. After any follow up meetings a new date could be set for a public hearing. • Staff is requesting the Council's direction in this matter. k Section 3...Fee Basis 110 ESTIMATED 5-YEAR EXPENDITURES Item Annual Total Cost (5 Year) Planning and Inventories l• Loco/ Sari-ace_ it/or f2'r 4erNogemen t - - - 4000 Plan Amendments d 3000 ,g/5-ca 1.

Staff has discussed several options to deter over-thrown or foul balls from entering Edgewood Drive and the properties on the east side of the road. The options are as follows: 1. Install a fence along the out-of-play line from the players bench to the outfield fence. The fence would be 12 feet in height, extending 228 feet from the player's bench to the outfield fence. The cost of this fence would be approximately $3947. 00 2 . Install a five foot fence along the Edgewood Drive right - of - way for approximately 70 feet. This fence would stop ground balls but would not stop fly balls. The cost of this fence would be approximately $764 . 00. • 3 . Plant large trees along the boulevard to deter foul balls. Trees would deter mostly the fly balls and ground balls only if the balls happened to hit the tree trunks. 4. Provide both a 5 foot fence along the out - of - bounds line to stop the ground balls and trees along the boulevard to deter the fly balls. Trees that were once located along the boulevard were removed in 1982 because they were a hazard to softball players considering that a player could run into the trees when pursueing a fly ball. For this reason, a fence would be necessary especially if the trees were to be located along the boulevard with the intention of detering fly balls. Forester Wriskey predicted that the cost of large trees if transplanted from the nursery would cost about $200 each. If purchased, each tree would cost approximately $800 each. 5. The city hall plans for remodeling described the need to abandon the field for needed parking space. In this case, barriers in this location would not be necessary. Therefore any new fencing or planting of trees would need to be removed at the time of remodeling. The over-thrown balls that are thrown high and any high foul balls will be difficult to stop because it is probable that even a 12 foot fence would not deter these balls. However, a fence Aftwill stop the missed balls thrown to first base, which is probably the most frequent occurrence. Another consideration is that any overthrown or foul ball hit • NORTH v, LJ 0 1-2 H EXISTING FENCE & PLAYING FIELD L.L. .:141: z Ei :„..., r_ :::::i:, _ Q : ::: U a ?.z3.::::: x a 0 41. of ::::::L.,::::-. _ a_ Q S E .........

The restricted space limitations make it difficult to tape the meetings. Also, the space required for the cameras, monitors, cables, microphones and other equipment takes up already limited space for the audience in the Council Chambers. The equipment cabinet is too small to house the number of cables, editing equipment, VCR's, monitors and other equipment. Needless to say, more maneuvering room is needed. Jerry has expressed interest in setting up a control room in a separate area other than the council chambers. In this way, taping of the council meetings occur from a separate room. Only a single camera and camera-technician would be needed in the • council chambers for taping. All the controls would be worked from the control room. This room could also be used for editing work and perhaps as a small studio for small interviews or for audio or picture and slide taping. As you may recall, the plans for remodeling City Hall had included a cable tv room. Alternatives for creating a temporary cable tv room for present needs have been discussed. The two options that the Cable Committee and staff have discussed are: 1. Add a small room on the end of the community room in the basement. This would make the basement smaller but I believe would not restrict the use of the basement for meetings and other uses presently used by groups. 2 . Consider a cable tv room in the plans for the abandoned well room. Staff wishes to discuss cable tv space needs and review the two options to hear council 's thoughts regarding possible solutions to the needs of cable tv.

Schedule A-2 defers the first levy to 1991 and defers the first principal payment to 1994. This schedule has two basic impacts. It increases the overall interest costs by $439,326. Perhaps more importantly, it increases the first levy in 1991 by approximately $135,000 over the otherwise required 1990 levy shown in A-1. You could reduce that levy through the use of reinvestment income if you chose. If you have any questions about this or you wish additional tax impact data, please contact • me.

The construction costs are somewhat higher than originally estimated. The consulting engineer, BRW, felt that the results reflected uncertainty over oil prices and possibly due to less than aggressive bidding. However, they did not feel that rebidding was necessary or appropriate. The total project cost is $117,122, the Mounds View portion of the total is $32 ,549 . 50 for construction. There will be additional costs for engineering, contingency, and overhead. After reviewing the previous council action of transferring $30,000 from the Silver Lake Woods Improvement account, it is . apparent that the project will exceed the amount of funds identified at this date. I have also reviewed the construction needs in the street department and recommend that the additional funds necessary come from the street department construction account. I recommend the Council approve the bid results and concur in the award of the bid to Barber Construction Co. and that all costs of this project be charged to account number 100-4270-705. • • nv PLANNINGI TRANSPORTATION ENGINEERING URBAN DESIGN BRW.INC. • THRESHER SQUARE • 700 THIRD STREET SOUTH • MINNEAPOLIS,MINNESOTA 55415 • PHONE: 612/370.0700 FAX: 612/370-1378 August 30, 1990 Mr. R.

Bids were received from four (4) different contractors as follows : • CONTRACTOR BID 1 . Barber Construction Co. $117, 122 . 00 2 . Bituminous Consulting Co. $138,582 .50 3 . Glenwood Bridge, Inc. $170, 971 .25 4 . Cy-Con Inc. $185, 505 .00 Engineer' s Estimate $85,000 . 00 -• All bids were submitted with a proper bid guaranty in the amount of ten percent ( 10%) of the total amount of the bid as specified in the Project Manual, with the exception of the Cy-Con Inc . , bid, which was submitted with a five percent (5%) guaranty. A bid tabulation was performed to verify the total bid amounts and an error was found in the bid of Barber Construction. The error increased the Barber Construction bid by approximately $3,500 . 00, but did not change the bid order. In reviewing the bids, a large variation in the total bid prices is evident. The bids vary by approximately 60% of the low bid amount. The variation in the bids creates some question as to whether the project was bid in a stable and competitive bid environment. The low bid is approximately thirty-five percent ( 35%) greater than our Engineer's Estimate. We feel that there may be a number of possible reasons for the high bid prices, as follows : 111 AN AFFILIATE OF THE BENNETT.RINGROSE.WOLSFELD.JARVIS.INC..GROUP DAVID J.BENNETT DONALD VV.RINGROSE RICHARD P WOLSFELD PETER E.JARVIS THOMAS F.CARROLL CRAIG A.AMUNDSEN DONALD E.HUNT MARK G SWENSON JOHN 8 McNAMARA RICHARD 0.PILGRIM DALE N.BECKMANN DENNIS J.SUTLIFF JEFFREY L.BENSON RALPH C.BLUM DAVID L.GRAHAM GARY J ERICKSON MINNEAPOLIS DENVER PHOENIX TUCSON ST.PETERSBURG SAN DIEGO 411 Mr. R. A. Minetor August 30, 1990 Page 2 1 . The current Mideast crisis and its impact on oil prices has increased bituminous prices and construction costs compared to other recently performed projects . In comparing the bids received for bituminous pathway with other bids received in the past, prices have increased by approximately thirty to forty percent ( 30%- 40%) . 2 . The current construction market may not be in a condition which is conducive to low bid prices . The late season construction schedule and the current workload of contractors in the area may have had some impacts on the bid prices . Although the low bid price is greater than our Engineer's Estimate, we do not feel that bid prices have been unreasonably inflated considering the above-detailed factors . We recommend award of the County Road I Pathway Project, CP 90-12, to Barber Construction in the amount of $117, 122 . 00 . Barber Construction has been the contractor for other projects in which 41, BRW, Inc . , has been involved, as well as other projects for the City of Shoreview. We have found them to be an adequate contractor, and feel that they are capable of performing the work required by this project. The project bid proposal form was prepared to easily allow the separation of City of Shoreview and City of Mounds View-costs . Based on our understanding of the joint agreement between the two cities, Shoreview would be responsible for all costs in Bid Schedules A and C plus one-half the cost of Bid Schedule D, while Mounds View would be responsible for the costs of Bid Schedule B plus the remaining one-half of Bid Schedule D. Considering the Barber Construction bid, the total Shoreview construction cost would be $84 ,572 . 50, while the Mounds View portion of the construction cost would be $32,549 . 50 . Barber Construction proposes to use the following subcontractors to perform the work: Barber Construction - Grading & Bituminous Pathway Advanced Concrete - Concrete work Jordan & Sons - Seeding and Sod Permits and approvals for the project are required from the • following agencies : o Ramsey County o Rice Creek Watershed District o Department of Natural Resources • Mr. R.

The Legislative Commission on Waste Management is conducting a survey of local governments regarding solid waste management financing. It is crucial for legislators and other policy makers to have this current statewide financial information before making decisions on solid waste policies that may affect you. The survey has been mailed to all county solid waste officers and selected city clerks. The survey asks for extensive and detailed information; however, the more accurate and specific the responses, the better will be the overall informa- tion used in policy making efforts. Therefore, your support is very important. • Please encourage your staff to take the time to answer all the questions to the best of their ability and to return the survey to us by September 14, 1990. With ever increasing waste-related responsibilities at the local level, it is essential to have adequate and targeted revenue raising capability. Currently, several possible methods exist and we need to assess their adequacy and.the extent of their use in order to avoid making unnecessary or unwise policy decisions. When major policies are established in the absence of reliable information, the results can be ineffective or even contrary to the original intent. Thank you in advance for your time and consideration. Copies of the survey and survey results will be available upon request. If you have questions, please contact Katie DeBoer at (612) 297-3604. • Se ator Gen- Merriam, Chairman Kim Austrian, Director Commission Members Senate: Gregory Dahl•Chuck Davis•Phyllis McQuaid•Gene Merriam,Chairman•James Pehler House: Bob Anderson,Secretary•Dee Long•Willard Munger•Dennis Ozment•Jean Wagenius,Vice-Chair Printed on recycled paper Yw , • INFORMATION - = ____ ONLY ,_ _ ,..-. • .•. ,.-_ _ .

This area has been. _ identified by the Regional Transit Board, the Metropolitan Council and the Minnesota Department of Transportation as an area that requires additional transit service. In the past year,the RTB has been involved with the•I-494 Travel Demand Management ('1DM) planning process. TDM startegies are used to reduce one person car trips. Some TDM measures include: use of flexible work hours,freeway ramp metering,car and van pool use, and transit use: The RTB is working to develop,implement and fund a demonstration transit service and TDM incentives that enhance public transportation use along I-494. . In addition to promoting TDM measures along I-494,the RTB has been involved in • extensive market research. The RTB awarded the Improve 494 Transportation - Management Organization (TMO) a Community Transit Planning Grant in 1989 to do focus group research of employers and employees around I-494. The RTB is considering two services that were developed from the findings of the research. The first proposal is to operate a peak-period,dial-a-ride transit service for an 18-month demonstration aimed at serving the work commuter of Bloomington,Edina and . - Richfield. The dial-a-ride was ranked most favorably by the focus group because it provides door-to-door service. . .The second proposal is to ensure that riders of public transportation in this service area have a guaranteed ride home. This would provide reduced rate taxi service for transit users • who must work late or return home in the midday. MTC riders, car poolers and riders on the new dial-a-ride would qualify for the program. The guaranteed ride home was the most favorable incentive for people who are considering using transit. Currently,Seattle, Washington provides this service and it is very successful. As Our metropolitan area continues to grow,traffic congestion is a problem that we must all face. The work being done along I-494 is an excellent example of several organizations coming together to provide innovative alternatives to the traditional delivery of transit services. The RTB, the Metropolitan Council,Improve 494,Mn/DOT, and Minnesota Rideshare have all been involved,in working to develop solutions. The challenges of providing transit services are different in each part of the region. The RTB relies on extensive research before putting new service on the street. As we work to meet the heeds of the region's transit needs, we strive to reduce congestion, reduce the • pollutants going into our air and increase ridership on the region's transit system. • ,D. .._-- _ •( l i zyi.,,_, tv.j( 1 (.. t, , ,\__________________, 230 EAST FIFTH STREET,SEVENTH FLOOR • ST.
