City of Mounds View Staff Report
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: James Ericson, Community Development Director
Item Title/Subject: Public Hearing and Consideration of a Resolution to
Amend the City’s Wetland Zoning District Map
Associated with the Spring Creek Wetland Basin
Introduction:
Last year, the City Council authorized Short Elliot Hendrickson, Inc. (SEH) to conduct a
wetland delineation of the Spring Creek Wetland basin located south of Woodale and
Woodcrest Drives, east of Pleasant View Drive, north of County Road H and west of Silver
Lake Road. The delineation was received and staff noted a discrepancy between the
delineation and the City’s official wetland zoning district map necessitating a formal adoption
of a map amendment. A public hearing is necessary to make such an amendment.
Discussion:
The City’s official wetland zoning maps were prepared in the 1980s based on land elevation
data and low-resolution aerial photography. As presented, the wetland boundaries (we cannot
call them delineations as they were not) represented the best estimate of the wetland areas at
the time without conducting full-scale delineations. The wetland maps and wetland areas
were not field verified, and for that reason along with the passing of time, the maps are not
accurate. When delineations are conducted, field verified and accepted by the agency having
jurisdiction (Rice Creek Watershed District) the City should then amend the wetland zoning
maps, however this step has never been executed due to the difficulty of updating the official
maps. The problem presented by not amending the maps is that housing subdivisions, roads
and developments now show up in wetland zoning districts, which then require alteration
permits or buffer permits to be issue for driveways, fences, additions, etc. simply because the
“official map” is out of date.
Staff has made it a priority in 2006 to update the official maps and converting the data from
paper to a GIS based overlay. The Spring Creek basin is the first wetland in the City to go
through the process and we can consider it the test case, if you will. Property owners who
abut this wetland basin were notified of the hearing and encouraged to attend, however upon
explanation of the purpose of the meeting and the nature of the change (the wetland area in
every instance of the basin is retracted from the 1980s boundary) the residents feel no need
to attend as there is no dispute or controversy. (Public interest would be heightened if the
delineation resulted in an expanded wetland and wetland buffer).
Rice Creek Watershed District reviewed the delineation and concurs with the findings. Their
letter of concurrence is attached to this report. The concurrence satisfies the Mounds View
City Code requirement regarding amendments, which articulates the following:
Wetland Zoning District Report
Dec 12, 2005
Page 2
Section 1010.06, Subd. 2: Modification of District: A wetland zoning district may be modified or
eliminated by four-fifths (4/5) affirmative vote of the Council after public hearing and notice as set
forth in Title 1100 of this Code. Wetland zoning districts may not be eliminated unless it can be
shown that the original designation is in error or that conditions have changed. When modifying
or removing a wetland zoning district, the Council shall use the criteria and methods established
in the Federal Manual for Identifying and Delineating Jurisdictional Wetlands dated January,
1989, as amended from time to time.
It should be noted that the manual referenced above is no longer the “Official” standard upon
which delineations are conducted, and a subsequent text amendment will need to be
processed. The intent remains the same however, that the delineation be conducted and
approved using an official adopted set of criteria, which has been done in this case.
Recommendation:
Staff has prepared Resolution 6683, a resolution approving a wetland zoning district map
amendment to the Spring Creek Wetland Basin as delineated by SEH in 2004 and approved
by Rice Creek Watershed District. After holding the public hearing, taking testimony from staff
and residents, it is recommended the Council adopt Resolution 6683.

(Ord. 505, 4-27-92)
1010.02: FINDINGS OF FACT; PURPOSE:
Subd. 1. Findings:
a. The Council finds that wetlands within the City, as part of the ecosystem, are critical to
the present and future health, safety and general welfare of the land, animals and people
within the City, as well as within the Rice Creek Watershed District, that existing and
potential development within the City and Rice Creek Watershed possess increasing
ecological and economic problems and demands, having the effect of potentially despoiling,
polluting, accelerating the aging, eliminating or negatively and irretrievably altering both the
wetlands and their functions (and the processes associated therewith) which, if managed,
will constitute important physical, educational, ecological, aesthetic, recreational and
economic assets for existing and future residents of the community and the Rice Creek
1 See Chapter 1301 for flood plain zoning and Chapter 1302 for surface water management regulations.
City of Mounds View
1010.02 1010.02
Watershed District. The City Council has in mind its statutory obligation to comply with
Chapters 104, 105 and 112 of Minnesota State Law, the regulations of Rice Creek
Watershed District, Regulations of the Department of Natural Resources, including
provisions for protected waters, Public Law 92.500 (Federal Water Pollution Control Act),
open space policies of the Metropolitan Council and its guidelines encouraging protection
and enhancement of marshes, wetlands in the flood plain area and the public interest in
preventing irreparable destruction or deterioration of valuable natural resources.
b. The public interest necessitates sound land use development, as land is a limited and
irreplaceable resource, and the land within the Municipality is a resource to be developed in
a manner which will result in minimum damage to the quality of life, property, threat to
health and reduction of private/public economic loss caused by drainage problems.
Subd. 2. Purposes: Therefore, recognizing the obligation to protect these assets and natural
resource gifts from destruction or deterioration and pollution of all kinds, the purposes of
this Chapter are:
a. To preserve wetlands in as natural a state as possible;
b. To serve as natural retention and detention areas for surface waters;
c. To regulate the use of areas adjacent to the wetlands in order to protect and enhance the
natural function of the wetlands;
d. To provide for the protection, preservation, proper maintenance, use and enhancement of
wetland zoning districts;
e. To minimize the disturbance to them and to prevent or minimize damage from excessive
sedimentation, eutrophication or pollution;
f. To prevent loss of aquatic organisms, wildlife and vegetation or the habitats of the same;
g. To provide for the protection of surface and ground water supplies from the danger of
drought, overdraft, pollution or mismanagement;
h. To secure safety from floods;
i. To reduce the financial burdens imposed upon the community through rescue and relief
efforts occasioned by the occupancy or use of areas subject to periodic flooding;
j. To prevent loss of life, property damage and the losses and risks associated with flood
conditions;
City of Mounds View
1010.02 1010.04
k. To reduce erosion problems;
l. To enhance and preserve quality; and
m. To enhance and preserve the natural drainageways. (Ord. 505, 4-27-92)
1010.03: SCOPE OF PROVISIONS: The wetland zoning district shall overlay the zoning
districts established pursuant to Title 1100 of this Code so that any parcel of land lying in a wetland
zoning district shall also lie in one or more of the established zoning districts. Lands lying within a
wetland zoning district shall be subject to the requirements established by other applicable
ordinances and regulations of the City. Within each wetland zoning district, all uses shall be
permitted in accordance with the regulations for the underlying zoning district; provided, however,
that such uses must also satisfy the additional requirements established in this Chapter. (Ord. 505,
4-27-92)
1010.04: PLAN OF EXECUTION: It is the intent of the City to effectuate the purposes of
this Chapter through the following means:
Subd. 1. Adopt a map designating the wetlands protected by this Chapter.
Subd. 2. Promote community education about the importance, function, limitations and impact of
urbanization upon the water resources of the community.
Subd. 3. To preserve and enhance of wetlands within the community through implementation of
development regulations that will ensure the design and construction of adequate on-site
storm water, sedimentation and retention and detention basins, flow control devices and
implementation of effective erosion control techniques.
Subd. 4. To apply techniques such as density transfers to development proposals in order to
minimize ratios of impermeable surface to open space.
Subd. 5. To establish means by which certain wetlands may be placed in the public domain for
purposes of enhancement, preservation, protection and maintenance.
Subd. 6. To provide means by which an applicant and the City will routinely obtain advice and
input from various governmental agencies and professionals in the field of fresh water
biology, hydrology and civil engineering.
Subd. 7. To establish a system of permits and enforcement to effectuate the intent of this Chapter.

Background
The Police Department and City Hall renovation Project is currently underway. The Police
Department submitted a line item for miscellaneous office equipment in the 2005 budget to
help fund a portion of some of the purchases of office furniture and other equipment for this
project. This budget item was approved for the 2005 budget. As you may recall from tours, of
the Police Department, most of the office furniture and equipment within the Police
Department was acquired after it was discarded from another department or purchased used
after it was deemed no longer useful by the agency disposing of it. Nearly all of the office
chairs and other office equipment used by The Mounds View Police Patrol Officers and
Minnesota State Troopers stationed at the Mounds View office is stained, broken,
mismatched and have mechanisms that are not working. The side or guests chairs are in
similar condition.
The Police Department has contacted office furniture businesses that carry the state bid for
office furniture and equipment sales. The Police Department searched for seating that was
value priced, and durable for use in a Police Department setting. Hendrickson P. S. G.
workspace solutions for government and nonprofits carries the Minnesota State contract bid
for office furniture seating. The state bid price for a durable office task chair the Trooper Mid
Back Armless, is $242.35. State bid price for a durable side chair, the Tolleson armless, side
chair is $146.15, and the state bid price for a KI Piretti Stack break room chair is $160.
Police Department recommends purchasing 14 task chairs, 12 side chairs, and three break
room chairs for total of $5,992.44. This purchase was planned for and approved in the 2005
Police budget.
Recommendation
Staff recommends council approve the purchase of the office equipment out of the 2005
Police budget in the amount of $5,992.44

City of Mounds View Staff Report
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: James Ericson, Community Development Director
Item Title/Subject: Review Medtronic CRM Project Acceleration Option;
Consider Establishing a Public Hearing on Feb 13, 2006
Introduction:
As the Council is aware, Medtronic has expressed a desire to explore construction of Phase
2 of the Medtronic CRM development concurrent with Phase 1. The Council directed staff to
explore the possibility with Medtronic and to continue using Ehlers and Associates for
financial analysis. Ehlers has conducted the analysis which assesses the financial
ramifications of a joint Phase 1 - Phase 2 construction project. This analysis has been
provided to the EDA and Council for your review.
Discussion:
Phase 2 of the Medtronic CRM development consists of a third office building of 380,000
square feet plus two additional levels on the Phase 1 parking ramp. The only eligible
expense associated with Phase 2 would be the parking ramp expansion. It has been
estimated that the cost of the ramp on a per floor basis is about $4,000,000, which means
the TIF eligible expenses for Phase 2, if it were to be constructed on its own and supported
by a new TIF district, would be limited to $8,000,000. The taxable value added by
constructing Phase 2 concurrent with Phase 1 is $30,400,000 for a total project improvement
value of $96,000,000. Setting aside the assistance agreement for Phase 1, staff examined
the amount of increment that would be generated from Phase 2 and whether it could support
the eligible expenses. With Ehlers assistance, it is clear that the additional increment would
support the expenses.
Using the same assumptions from the original analysis, there appears to be a total of $22
million of available increment for the $96,000,000 project. Regardless of the outstanding
qualified costs, the increment provided would be limited to reimbursement of ONLY the
structured parking ramp, the cost for which is estimated at $24 million, well in excess of the
available increment.
In return for this consideration, Medtronic would pick up the City's cost to install the utilities to
their site (budgeted at $400,000), would cover all the relocation costs for the signs (the
previous agreement identified City cost at $550,000) and finally, perhaps most significantly,
Medtronic would be responsible for ALL potential sign buy-outs (a potential savings to the
City of $1,620,000.) Altogether, the potential financial benefit to Mounds View is $2,570,000,
all of which the City would potentially have to pay out relating to this project in its present
form. Medtronic would also cover all administrative expenses incurred as a result of
processing this request (estimated on the high side to be $150,000.)
Medtronic Phase 2 Report
December 12, 2005
Page 2
In our opinion and in the opinion of our financial advisor, there is no downside to consider the
combined phasing of the projects. No additional funds will be expended that will not be
reimbursed. No taxes will be lost, no revenues diverted and no additional infrastructure
needed. In fact, the City would gain an anticipated additional 50% in both TIF admin fees
and franchise fees above and beyond Phase 1 projections. Mounds View residents and
taxpayers will also benefit in that the Medtronic project would shoulder an even greater share
of any market based bond referendums or levies (residents approved one for ISD 621 a
couple years ago) so all things being equal, taxpayers would pay even less than they
otherwise would have. In addition to the potential $2,570,000 in savings the City would
immediately realize, instead of a $65 million project coming online in 2033 to significantly
boost general fund revs or significantly reduce taxes, the City will instead have a $96 million
project coming online in 2033 to even more significantly boost general fund revenues or
more significantly reduce taxes.
Recommendation:
Based on the above analysis which is supported by documentation prepared by Ehlers and
Associates, Staff and your financial advisors support moving forward with a negotiation with
Medtronic based on the above terms and conditions. If the Council supports the possibility
of a modification to accommodate Phase 2 construction concurrent with Phase 1, staff
recommends adopting the attached resolution which simply establishes a public hearing to
consider such a possibility. Because we are planning on canceling the Dec 27, 2005 EDA
and Council meeting, the Council should call for the hearing now to allow for a hearing to be
held in February. Accordingly, Resolution 6699 has been drafted for your consideration.
If you should have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at 763-717-4021,
Kurt Ulrich at 763-717-4001 or Aaron Backman at 763-717-4029.

Discussion
The City Council adopted a severance package for all three regular full-time golf course
employees on August 22, 2005, with the passage of Resolution 6585. This resolution allowed

Layoff Notices were hand carried to all three full-time golf course employees on October 27, 2005.
Their last day of employment for all three golf course employees was Thursday, November 10,
2005 at 430pm.
Mary Burg used her accumulated flex-time per Resolution 6585, and her last day on payroll was
December 8, 2005. Section 4.25D of the Personnel Manual indicates that an employee will be

35
Stan Meyer, 2812 Sherwood Road, asked about the Arden Park compost site and potential 36
development. 37
38
Mayor Marty stated developers have come in several times to speak about their plans to the EDA 39
and Council. 40
41
Community Development Director Ericson stated staff has been approached by developers over 42
the last five years about potential development of vacant lots fronting on Long Lake Road that 43
have access on Woodlawn and Laport. The last developer approached the EDA about the 44
potential for development and what they would be willing to consider. At this point, no formal 45
Mounds View City Council November 28, 2005
Regular Meeting Page 2
requests for development have been submitted. The Council authorized a wetland delineation for 1
the area as to where it is and how it will impact possible or future development. Director Ericson 2
noted that some property owners in that area are interested in developing but nothing has been 3
formally presented. 4
5
Mr. Meyer asked what is the possible cost to Mounds View for removal of the billboards. 6
7
Director Ericson stated the potential exposure to the City if there is no home for an additional 8
billboard sign is $810,000 and the risk is for one sign. If one sign can be located elsewhere in 9
Mounds View, then there is no risk for any additional relocation costs. He advised that Clear 10
Channel is working on that process and has asked the City to not be involved until they have 11
presented options. 12
13
Mr. Meyer suggested that the best possible location with no cost to the City would be off Arden 14
Park, which has the same exposure across the street and can hold two to three signs without any 15
trouble. However, if development is approved there first, it may be a problem. 16
17
Director Ericson explained that land is zoned single family residential and Mn/DOT and the 18
Federal Highway Beautification Act requires billboards to be located in commercial or 19
industrially zoned property. Therefore billboards cannot be located along the majority of 20
Highway 10 on the south side because it is zoned residential and not appropriate for a billboard. 21
22
Mr. Meyer suggested rezoning some property. 23

Adoption of Ordinance 766, An Ordinance Authorizing the Vacation of a 32
Drainage and Utility Easement Associated with the Belting Office 33
Development 34
35
Mayor Marty noted this public hearing was opened at the last meeting and remains open tonight 36
for public input. 37
38
Community Development Director Ericson explained the public hearing remained open for 39
publication and notification purposes since it was not done as soon as it should have been. The 40
public hearing was continued to assure all had an opportunity to provide input. 41
42
Director Ericson advised that the request is for second reading of the ordinance to vacate an 43
easement granted when Walgreens was constructed. He explained the storm water drainage 44
easement is located in the corner where Belting is proposing an 8,300 square foot office building. 45
Mounds View City Council November 28, 2005
Regular Meeting Page 3
The little triangular piece of easement that is to be vacated will be replaced by an elongated 1
easement area as identified in the staff report. Director Ericson advised that the Rice Creek 2
Watershed District reviewed this request and feel this provides better infiltration opportunity in 3
using the best management practices so they are supportive. 4
5
Director Ericson stated the easement is to be vacated because part of the footprint of the 8,300 6
square foot building would extend into the easement area. The site was not developed as 7
originally intended so the vacation request has been made. Staff is requesting approval and if 8
approved, authorization to publish a summary of the ordinance rather than the full ordinance. 9
10
There being no public input, Mayor Marty closed the public hearing at 7:29 p.m. 11
12
Mayor Marty stated this appears to be in order and is a housekeeping matter to relocate the 13
easement to another location to accommodate the building. 14
15
Motion/Second: Flaherty/Gunn. To waive the reading and adopt Ordinance 766, Vacating an 16
Excess Drainage and Utility Easement Associated with the Belting Office Development and 17
authorize the publication of a summary. 18

24
C. Set a Public Hearing for December 12, 2005 at 7:10 p.m. to Consider a 25
Resolution Amending the City’s Wetland Zoning District 26
27
Community Development Director Ericson stated this action would amend the Spring Creek 28
wetland basin in the southwest portion of Mounds View. He explained that a delineation was 29
done last year and the new delineation tells where the wetland is but does not amend the City’s 30
official wetland zoning district map. However, whenever the City considers a wetland alteration 31
permit, the City Code indicates the City should also take the next step to amend the City’s 32
official zoning district maps relating to wetlands. He advised that the wetland zoning maps were 33
prepared in the 1980s and are not in a form they can be easily changed. That is why they have 34
not been changed and do not reflect the changes that have been made. If the zoning map is not 35
amended, it requires applicants to get a wetland buffer permit or a wetland alteration permit. 36
This action should have been done when the maps were originally created. 37
38
Director Ericson explained the recommended action would establish a public hearing for the 39
residents to attend and then the City’s official zoning map would be changed to reflect that 40
delineation. 41
42
Mayor Marty stated the Arden Park Laport Meadows delineation report was also just received. 43
He asked if staff should also schedule a public hearing on that delineation. Director Ericson 44
explained that Staff just received the Arden Park Laport Meadows delineation today and has not 45
Mounds View City Council November 28, 2005
Regular Meeting Page 5
yet had time to react to it. To schedule a public hearing on December 12, 2005, the notice would 1
have had to be submitted last week for publication this Wednesday. He noted the process being 2
used will be the template for future processes. 3

F. Resolution 6681 a Resolution Closing City Hall on Friday December 23rd and 10
Friday, December 30, 2005 11
12
Councilmember Flaherty asked about the downside to closing the City Hall on December 23rd 13
and 30th related to services being provided to residents. He also asked if employees who do not 14
typically get the day off will need to use accrued vacation. 15
16
City Administrator Ulrich stated that is correct, they will need to use accrued vacation. He 17
explained the downside is that there will be fewer hours available to the public on those days. 18
19
Mayor Marty stated if City Hall was open, only a skeleton staff would be working so residents 20
may come in but be unable to get something acted on. 21
22
MOTION/SECOND: Flaherty/Stigney. To waive the reading and adopt Resolution 6681, 23
Closing City Hall on Friday, December 23 and Friday, December 30, 2005. 24
25
Ayes-4 Nays-0 Motion carried. 26
27
G. Set a public hearing for Monday, December 12, 2005 at 7:20 pm to consider 28
abating nuisance conditions and non-compliant code items at 2390 County 29
Road 10, property known and operated as the “Premium Stop” fuel station 30
31
Mayor Marty requested a staff update. 32
33
Community Development Director Ericson explained this property, Premium Stop, is adjacent to 34
the former Donut Connection building. Staff has been working with the business owner to 35
correct some deficiencies and issues with the building. The most glaring example of Code 36
violation is the canopy that is set off to the side. Staff was told it would be reinstalled the 37
following week and that was three weeks ago. Director Ericson advised that the windows to the 38
carwash are still blown out with glass on the inside. The service doors are closed but if you 39
actually get inside the car wash area, you would engage an infrared trigger and doors would lift 40
up. Staff feels these issues create a safety hazard and that it will not be corrected. 41
42
Director Ericson reported that one client of the business overheard the business owner saying he 43
has no intention of fixing it because the property is for sale. He stated the City needs to take 44
Mounds View City Council November 28, 2005
Regular Meeting Page 6
action to declare it a public nuisance and authorize abatement to remove the canopy, fix the 1
window, or board it up to eliminate the safety hazard and Code violation. 2
3
Mayor Marty noted the City even had to mow the grass this summer and then billed the owner. 4
5
Director Ericson stated the business is for sale if the City is interested in making an offer. 6

Ayes-4 Nays-0 Motion carried. 12
13
9. JUST AND CORRECT CLAIMS 14
15
Councilmember Flaherty questioned Page 6, Check #117446, a windshield replacement and 16
asked whether it is covered under comprehensive insurance. Finance Director Beer explained 17
that the City has a $10,000 deductible so it is not covered. 18
19
Councilmember Flaherty questioned Page 8, Check #117468, to Quality Flow Systems and asked 20
how often the City has to update software for the wells. Finance Director Beer explained this is a 21
budgeted capital expense for 2005 and involves Phase 1 of the SKATA update. Phase 2 will 22
occur in 2006 which will allow the City to eliminate telephone service at the wells and lift 23
stations, saving about $850/month. 24
25
Mayor Marty stated he talked with Finance Director Beer earlier today about the questions he 26
had. 27
28

B. Reports of Mayor and Council 44
45
Mounds View City Council November 28, 2005
Regular Meeting Page 7
Mayor Marty reported that the Sunday Pioneer Press had an article about the City of Blaine 1
acquiring parkland and green space through tax forfeiture and donations. Blaine is looking at 2
how to preserve and protect green space for the future. Also in the Wednesday newspaper after 3
the November elections, one of the feature articles in the Metro section of the StarTribune was 4
about the cities of Woodbury and Eden Prairie making large gains to protect and acquire 5
parkland. Woodbury has set aside about $9 million to acquire parkland and green space and 6
Eden Prairie earmarked about $4.3 million to acquire green space. Mayor Marty commented that 7
while these cities are making concerted efforts to acquire green space and parks, Mounds View 8
seems to be getting rid of it. 9
10
B. Reports of Staff 11
12
1. Budget Review 13
14
Finance Director Beer presented the staff report indicating the changes made since the last budget 15
discussion. He noted the reduction of the base levy by $307,000, which will result in a zero levy 16
increase. Finance Director Beer explained the City will need to establish a transfer-in from the 17
Levy Reduction Fund for $217,000 representing investment income on the net land proceeds. 18
The City will also need to establish a transfer-in from the Levy Reduction Fund for $141,000 for 19
to hire a temporary inspector for the Medtronic project. The City would be carrying the balance 20
of the money in the Levy Reduction Fund to pay off future expenses related to that temporary 21
inspector. 22
23
Finance Director Beer stated there are several items that established budgets for that temporary 24
inspector. He noted he increased the transfer to the Community Center Fund, which had been 25
reduced at one time, since that fund will be of primary concern. 26
27
Finance Director Beer stated there will be a savings of $25,000 over the life of the bonds for the 28
new Fire Department building. The first year there will be a savings of $219 because the City 29
realized better interest rates than originally projected. 30
31
Councilmember Stigney asked about the recommendation to establish a transfer in from the Levy 32
Reduction Fund for $141,000 for the temporary inspector. Finance Director Beer explained the 33
permit money will be put into the Levy Reduction Fund and as money is spent from the General 34
Fund, the City will need to transfer money into the General Fund to cover those expenses. The 35
transfer in will come from permit revenue. 36
37
Councilmember Stigney asked why the money is not used from the TIF administrative fund. 38
Community Development Director Ericson explained that the City is not going to realize TIF 39
administrative increment gains for several years. However, the City will be needing and 40
expending money on inspections immediately. He advised that permit revenue estimates are 41
about $380,000 in 2006 but the increment is not available until 2007 or 2008. 42
43
Councilmember Stigney stated the money transfer will not be more than what is brought in from 44
permit revenues. Finance Director Beer stated that is correct. 45

Councilmember Stigney noted the expense for a laptop for the temporary inspector. Director 2
Ericson stated that cost estimate would be for the top end and staff would not expect to spend 3
$2,000 but this will not be a home use laptop. He explained that the $2,000 figure establishes a 4
maximum budget threshold and would be considered a guideline. 5
6
Councilmember Stigney asked if there is a separate rating of commercial for a laptop. Finance 7
Director Beer stated the primary need is for memory and speed because of the graphics needed 8
for the inspector’s job. Those features will generate a higher cost. 9
10
Councilmember Stigney asked what is required. Finance Director Beer stated most laptops come 11
with a 1.3 Exceleron processor clock speed and 256K for memory. The building inspector will 12
need a laptop with a 1.8 to 2.2 clock speed for the processor and at least 1 meg of RAM to run 13
the graphic programs. 14
15
Councilmember Flaherty stated he also thinks that $2,000 is excessive and that a laptop with the 16
Windows XP business version would cost in the range of $1,300, including the RAM and clock 17
speed that is needed. 18
19
Councilmember Flaherty asked if the City doesn’t already have additional laptops. Director 20
Ericson stated there may be one spare laptop and it is being moved to one of the pump stations 21
for a water employee to use. He stated he is not aware of a spare laptop sufficient to operate the 22
current programs since they were purchased in 1997 or 1998. He explained these are the same 23
laptops used in the past by Councilmembers. 24
25
City Administrator Ulrich stated there are several newer laptops from two years ago. One is 26
available for administrative use and the other is used by the Utility Department. 27
28
Finance Director Beer explained that the intent is that this person would not have a desktop 29
computer and a laptop would be their fully assigned computer. 30
31
Mayor Marty asked if other Councilmembers still have a City laptop. He stated he brought his in 32
several times because it is quite slow. Councilmember Stigney stated he still has a City laptop. 33
34
Mayor Marty asked what happened to the other laptops. City Administrator Ulrich stated he 35
would have to check. 36
37
Councilmember Flaherty asked about the vehicle for the temporary inspector and how many 38
vehicles are available for employees. Finance Director Beer stated there are three vehicles. 39
40
Councilmember Flaherty asked if there is a need to purchase a fourth vehicle for this position 41
alone. Director Ericson stated staff believes it is needed since they are daily use vehicles and in 42
use fifty percent of the time or more. He stated staff could use their personal vehicles and submit 43
for mileage but sometimes it is good to have a marked vehicle out in the community. He noted 44
that one car may not be in service in several years and at that point, this new vehicle will be 45

needed. The three current vehicles are used by the Housing Inspector, Building Inspector, and 1
administrative staff. 2
3
Councilmember Stigney asked about using retired police vehicles. City Administrator Ulrich 4
advised that one of the three vehicles is a retired police vehicle. 5
6
Councilmember Stigney asked when another police vehicle will be replaced. City Administrator 7
Ulrich explained that two police vehicles will be replaced this year. Typically those vehicles 8
have 80,000 to 100,000 miles on them and hard use. Councilmember Stigney suggested they be 9
looked at to see if they should be kept for staff use. 10
11
Mayor Marty noted that with City fleet prices, it seems the City should be able to spend less than 12
$15,000 for a courier type of vehicle, such as a smaller and more gas efficient vehicle. 13
14
Director Ericson stated staff is exploring those options and reviewing the State bid sheet. Staff 15
needs flexibility for reviewing the options and will present them to the Council for consideration 16
and authorization. 17
18
Councilmember Gunn noted the vehicle will be at construction sites, which may be rugged. 19
20
Mayor Marty commended the Council and staff for their work on the budget. He noted the City 21
was lucky in not having street bonding projects for this year and being able to have a levy for 22
2006 at zero percent. He stated when he first got elected to the Council seven years ago, it was 23
always his goal to do this and he has tried hard over the years but, because of cuts by the State to 24
local government assistance and bonding for street projects, it has not worked out. 25
26
Mayor Marty stated the last few levies have been relatively painful for him and the other 27
Councilmembers so he is thrilled with the cooperation and work done at the Council and staff 28
levels to finally “hammer out” a zero percent City tax levy for next year. 29
30
Mayor Marty noted that City Administrator Ulrich gave the Council a spreadsheet that shows a 31
number of different cities in the Twin City metro area and Mounds View is the only city listed 32
that has a zero percent general fund increase and zero percent total levy. 33
34
Mayor Marty asked if this information could be included on the website to show Mounds View 35
citizens there will be a zero percent levy increase. He again extended his thanks for the 36
cooperation among the Council and staff who looked for areas to cut. 37
38
2. Discussion of Golf Course Auction Proceeds and Electricity Billing 39
40
Councilmember Flaherty noted the net proceeds from the golf course auction equaled 41
$123,204.04. He stated the Council has not yet decided where the proceeds should go. 42
43
City Administrator Ulrich stated the immediate location for these proceeds would be the Golf 44
Course Enterprise Fund. Then, at the end of year, staff will tally the remaining amount and 45
Mounds View City Council November 28, 2005
Regular Meeting Page 10
probably recommend the Tax Levy Reduction Fund. He estimated that several hundred thousand 1
dollars remain in the golf course fund. 2
3
Finance Director Beer stated Council will consider that action at the December 12, 2005 meeting. 4
5
Mayor Marty noted there was a cost of $684 for electricity at the golf course since the property 6
was transferred to Medtronic. This occurred because the power was left on for various reasons 7
but the cost will be billed to Medtronic so the City will be reimbursed. 8
9
3. Update on Fire Board Operations Meeting 10
11
City Administrator Ulrich stated the Fire Board Operations meeting was held today and they 12
talked about staff for the Fire Department. He reported that the levy will go down because they 13
have decided not to hire in 2006. They will hire a full-time mechanic for Fire Department the 14
latter part of 2006 and it is expected that the savings from mechanic work will pay for this 15
position. City Administrator Ulrich stated the levy should go down an additional $8,000, which 16
will reduce the amount taken from the Levy Reduction Fund. 17
18
Mayor Marty stated the Fire Department is always looking for volunteers and encouraged anyone 19
interested to contact the Fire Department. He noted that the more volunteers, the less Mounds 20
View has to pay to hire employees. 21
22
4. Santa Visit to Mounds View 23
24
Councilmember Gunn asked about Santa’s visit. Councilmember Flaherty stated that will be 25
starting on December 5th and an article will be in this week’s Focus. 26
27
Community Development Director Ericson advised the Santa information is also on the City’s 28
website. 29
30
5. Discussion of Cable Television Budget 31
32
Councilmember Stigney asked staff to provide information on items in the cable budget, Fund 33
210, Page 48, including $3,000 for a video dubbing machine, $6,000 for a video hard drive and 34
switching system, and $6,500 for a nonlinear editing system. 35
36
Mayor Marty s uggested that the new cable operator have the final input on what is purchased and 37
present a recommendation to the Council. 38
39
Councilmember Stigney noted that is not the current policy if the expenditure is in the budget. 40
41
City Administrator Ulrich explained that staff would get three bids, depending on the dollar 42
amount. The purchase would either be under claims or the Council will be asked to take action. 43
44
Mounds View City Council November 28, 2005
Regular Meeting Page 11
City Administrator Ulrich stated these equipment items are largely carryovers. He stated it may 1
be too early to specify the exact equipment but staff wanted money in the budget to update the 2
quality of the broadcast. To assure the proper equipment is purchased, he suggested the new 3
cable coordinator review the needs. 4
5
Councilmember Stigney stated if the request comes before the Council then they need to be 6
aware of what is being purchased rather than retro actively seeing it in the Just and Correct 7
Claims. He stated he supports that direction of the Council. 8
9
Finance Director Beer stated three items are listed but they will be aggregated so three quotes 10
will be needed. 11
12
MOTION/SECOND: Stigney/Marty. To require that cable purchases be considered by the City 13
Council prior to purchase. 14
15
Councilmember Gunn asked if this will set a precedence so now all department heads will need 16
to come before the Council for purchases, even if it is in the budget. 17
18
Councilmember Stigney stated he would support that occurring if the Council is not sure if the 19
equipment is needed or what it is. 20
21
Mayor Marty stated staff has been upfront with what they are requesting. 22
23
City Administrator Ulrich stated he will provide a report back to the Council. 24
25
Councilmember Stigney and Mayor Marty withdrew the motion on the floor. 26
27
6. Update on Water Damage at Creative Kids Day Care 28
29
Finance Director Beer advised that carpet will be installed tomorrow and the day care will be in 30
by the end of the week. The insurance company was notified and the total damage is estimated to 31
be about $30,000 with the City’s share being the $10,000 deductible. He explained that about 32
two weeks ago, a water pipe in the day care burst over the weekend and damaged the sheetrock 33
and carpeting. 34
35
City Administrator Ulrich explained the water supply pipe goes into a flexible pipe with a plastic 36
nut. The plastic nut cracked and sprayed water the entire weekend over a large portion of the day 37
care area. Because of mold issues, the carpet was removed and sprayed area with anti-fungicide. 38
Extensive damage occurred that will exceed the City’s deductible of $10,000. 39
40
City Administrator Ulrich noted this is leased space to a private company as a tenant so they had 41
to relocate the day care. He advised that the City will loose rental income for a good portion of 42
this month in addition to expenses incurred by the day care. Those costs will be turned into the 43
insurance company. 44

7. City Hall Rehabilitation Update 1
2
City Administrator Ulrich advised that the City Hall rehabilitation project is moving along as 3
scheduled. The last several weeks were spent in demolition and construction started today. The 4
project is on target to finish by April 1, 2006. He advised that some asbestos was found so staff 5
is doing a tally of those costs that would be from the contingency fund. City Administrator 6
Ulrich stated he will provide the Council with that list by the next meeting. 7
