RESIDENTS REQUESTS AND COMMENTS FROM THE FLOOR Mounds View City Council November 13, 2000 Regular Meeting Page 4 David Jenke of 8425 Eastwood Road inquired as to the status of the golf course project. He inquired as to the cost of building an additional nine holes at the golf course. He also inquired as to why there is a sudden rush to sign a new contract when the old contract has not yet expired. Mayor Coughlin indicated the discussions began because the lower skilled workers at the golf course are not being paid in accordance with the current going rate. These are just preliminary discussions and there will be more discussion at the Work Sessions prior to any decisions being made. Julian Sprunck of 2649 Louisa Avenue addressed the Council and expressed a concern with the Harstad development plans. He indicated if the area is developed the grade at the site will need to be raised approximately 6 inches which will cause flooding for the residents on the north side of Louisa Avenue. He suggested if the development is to be approved the City should require the developer to install a drainage ditch with drain tiling and a holding pond to handle run off from the site. Mayor Coughlin thanked Mr. Sprunck for his comments and said his suggestion seemed fair and equitable. Richard Sonterre, Mayor Elect, of 5060 Red Oak Drive thanked Assistant to the Administrator Reed for her efforts to run the election, thanked the election judges for their efforts and thanked the Mayor in advance for his efforts to bring him up to speed on the issues currently facing the City.

The City Administrator indicated she would contact Rice Creek Watershed District for the status of the report. Mr. Lamb indicated his displeasure with Council Liaison, Richard Sonterre, and requested permission to contact the City directly regarding this matter. Mayor Coughlin indicated Mr. Sonterre was the Mayor Elect and that by contacting Mr. Sontarre concerning the project Mr. Lamb would be in contact with the City. Mr. Lamb inquired as to whether the project would be pushed into next year. Mayor Coughlin indicated the project was in the very early stages and definitely would not proceed before January 1, 2001. It is the desire of the City to conduct more resident meetings for input on the proposed ponding project before any official action is taken on the matter. This is why the project will be pushed out to next year. Mounds View City Council November 13, 2000 Regular Meeting Page 5 Mr. Lamb inquired as to whom he could contact at the City to discuss this matter for the remainder of this year. Mayor Coughlin indicated he could contact the City Administrator or any member of the Council. Mr. Lamb inquired as to the status of the financial projections for the golf course expansion. City Administrator Miller indicated the numbers were not currently available and said there is a meeting tentatively scheduled for November 20, 2000 should the report be completed by that date. 10. COUNCIL BUSINESS A. Public Hearing Concerning Possible TIF Modifications. Resolution 5484 is a Resolution Requesting Modifications to the Tax Increment Financing Plans for Tax Increment Financing Districts Nos. 1, 2, 3 within the Mounds View Economic Development Project Area. This is primarily an administrative modification to the Tax Increment Financing Plans for Tax Increment Financing Districts Nos. 1, 2, 3 to bring the City into compliance with the requirements of the Office of the State Auditor. Per statutory requirements the Planning and Zoning Commission has reviewed the proposed modifications and found they are consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. The modifications have also been sent to the school district and Ramsey County. Mayor Coughlin opened the public hearing at 7:28 p.m. Greg Johnson, Planning Commissioner, of 2865 Highway 10 indicated there was a discrepancy in the TIF district and that the TIF and PUD Districts do not match. Mayor Coughlin closed the public hearing at 7:31 p.m. MOTION/SECOND: Marty/Quick. To Waive the Reading and Approve Resolution No. 5484, a Resolution amending TIF Districts 1, 2, 3 Within the Mounds View Economic Development Project Area. Ayes – 4 Nays – 0 Motion carried.

Public Hearing Concerning Mermaid Preliminary Plat. The plat groups together those parcels being utilized for Mermaid expansion, which include the former Rent-All property, the Music-off-10 property, the south 361 feet of the Mounds View Mounds View City Council November 13, 2000 Regular Meeting Page 6 Business Park South plat as well as the existing Mermaid parcels. This plat does not include the Perkins parcel. The total area involved in the plat is 9.36 acres. This preliminary plat appears to be consistent with the Subdivision Plats and Procedures Chapter of the City Code and a copy of the preliminary plat has been forwarded to the City Attorney for his review. The legal descriptions are however incomplete, and as such, the dedication page has not been included for preliminary plat review. The Planning Commission reviewed the preliminary plat at their meeting on November 1, 2000. After some discussion regarding easements, legal descriptions and other issues, the Planning Commission adopted Resolution 638-00, a resolution recommending to the City Council approval of the Mermaid Addition preliminary plat. Staff and the Planning Commission recommend approval of Resolution 5482, a resolution approving the preliminary plat for the Mermaid major subdivision, with stipulations. 1. The Preliminary Plat shall be revised by indicating the current property owners and appropriate legal descriptions for the involved properties. 2. The developer shall execute a sign easement document which dedicates to the City of Mounds View the forty foot triangle at the corner of Highway 10 and County Road H as shown on the preliminary plat for a City gateway sign. 3. The developer shall submit the applicable park dedication fee of $92,306 prior to the City signing the final plat. Mayor Coughlin opened the public hearing at 7:32 p.m. Mayor Coughlin noted Community Development Director Jopke had accepted a position with the City of West St. Paul and thanked him for his years of service to the City of Mounds View. Community Development Director Jopke thanked the Council for the privilege to work with them and said it was an honor. Mayor Coughlin closed the public hearing at 7:36 p.m. MOTION/SECOND: Quick/Marty. To Waive the Reading and Approve Resolution No. 5482, a Resolution approving the Mermaid Preliminary Plat. Ayes – 4 Nays – 0 Motion carried. C. First Reading and Introduction of Ordinance No. 675, an Ordinance Rezoning the Mermaid Parcels from B-3 Highway Business to PUD Planned Unit Development. Mounds View City Council November 13, 2000 Regular Meeting Page 7 MOTION/SECOND: Quick/Marty. To Waive the Reading and Approve the Introduction of Ordinance No. 675, an Ordinance Rezoning the Mermaid Parcels from B-3 Highway Business to PUD Planned Unit Development. Ayes – 4 Nays – 0 Motion carried. D. First Reading and Introduction of Ordinance 672, an Ordinance Amending Chapter 1106 of the Zoning Code Pertaining to Home Occupations; Special Planning Case SP-083-00. This ordinance has been drafted to clean up Section 1106.03 of the Mounds View Zoning Code pertaining to Home Based Businesses. The Planning Commission reviewed this ordinance at its last two meetings, adopting Resolution 641-00 on November 1, 2000, which recommends approval of the ordinance. There are two housekeeping changes to the ordinance and two changes of substance. The first change of substance relates to allowable signage. The Code currently allows for one-square foot of signage, which was felt to be too restrictive. This has been increased to four square feet, placement of which can occur either on the house or garage, or within five feet of a street right of way. The other change contemplated by this ordinance is that the limitation of no more than two cars for either on or off street parking has been changed to no more than two cars for on street parking, dropping the off street limitation. The Planning Commission also considered an amendment to the Code which would have added an item “h” to the ordinance, stating that home businesses involving automotive sales, service or repair would be expressly prohibited. In the end, the Planning Commission felt this was too broad a restriction and that the City’s Nuisance Codes would address most automotive uses so the amendment was deleted from the ordinance. Staff has been in contact with a resident of the City who operates a telemarketing business from within his home. According to the ordinance as it is drafted, the business is in violation due to the fact that there are employees on the site that do not live at the residence. Given the technological age we are now living in and the growing numbers of telecommuters and computer-based home businesses, staff is curious to know the Council’s thoughts on revising the ordinance beyond that already contemplated to allow for employees who are not residents of a property. Staff cautioned that any possible change be carefully considered as to the potential impact to the immediate neighbors and neighborhoods in general. The City is not opposed to home-based businesses in general nor is it opposed to residents earning a living from within their homes. The concern is with the potential impacts to the neighbors who may not be comfortable living next to a thriving home-based business with employees coming and going and the related parking and activity issues. Mayor Coughlin indicated he was approached by Planning Commissioner Johnson and inquired if Mr. Johnson would be willing to address Council to express his concerns regarding Ordinance 672. Mounds View City Council November 13, 2000 Regular Meeting Page 8 Council Member Marty indicated he had watched the Planning Commission meeting on the cable access channel and said there was a good discussion but felt there were a couple of issues that were not addressed. Commissioner Johnson addressed the Council and suggested Council send the Ordinance back to the Planning Commission for further discussion as he did not feel the Planning Commission had addressed the concerns of home businesses in this new age of computers and technology. MOTION/SECOND: Marty/Quick. To refer Ordinance No. 672 back to the Planning and Zoning Commission for further research on the use of computers and new technology in home based businesses. Todd Hollander of 7800 Gloria Circle addressed Council and indicated he has been a resident of Mounds View for two and a half years and runs a business out of his home that currently has four employees other than himself. He presented maps of his neighborhood and letters of support for his business which he presented to Community Development Director Jopke. Mayor Coughlin thanked Mr. Holander for his efforts to provide information to Council but said the matter would be referred back to the Planning and Zoning Committee and the information he provided would be forwarded to the Planning and Zoning Commission for consideration. Andrea Rush of 7830 Gloria Circle indicated she and her mother do not feel the extra traffic flow on their street is necessary as it is a residential area not a business area. They are not in favor of allowing the business to continue. Council Member Stigney inquired as to whether the business owner could apply for a variance if his type of business is not allowed by the Ordinance. Mayor Coughlin indicated the details would be sorted out as the process of defining the ordinance continued. Ayes – 4 Nays – 0 Motion carried. MOTION/SECOND: Coughlin/Stigney. To Remove From Consideration Item 7D of the Consent Agenda. Ayes – 4 Nays – 0 Motion carried. E. Consideration of Resolution 5485 Appointing an Interim Community Development Director. Assistant to the Administrator Reed requested permission of Council to appoint Planner Ericson as the Interim Community Development Director setting his pay at 115% of his current salary and for permission to advertise for the Community Development Director position. She also Mounds View City Council November 13, 2000 Regular Meeting Page 9 presented Resolution 5486 a Resolution requesting Council appoint Planner Ericson as Community Development Director with a six-month probationary period setting his salary at 115% of his current salary. Ms. Reed also requested permission to conduct a pay study for the Community Development Director position as the pay and the points system do not currently match. MOTION/SECOND: Quick/Stigney. To Waive the Reading and Approve Resolution 5486, Appointing Planner Ericson as the Community Development Director with a Six-Month Probationary Period, Setting his Salary at 115% of his Current Salary, and Authorizing Ms. Reed to Conduct a Pay Study for the Community Development Director Position. Community Development Director Jopke clarified his official resignation date is November 26, 2000 but his last day in the office would be November 17, 2000. He also fully recommended Planner Ericson for the position saying he feels Mr. Ericson will do a great job as Community Development Director. Council Member Stigney indicated he is a strong proponent of promoting from within and thinks this is a promotion well deserved. He also said he believed Planner Ericson would prove himself over the course of the six-month probationary period. Mayor Coughlin agreed with Council Member Stigney and said he, too, feels Planner Ericson is qualified for the job. Ayes – 4 Nays – 0 Motion carried. 11.

WK: Work Session; PH: Public Hearing; CA: Consent Agenda; CB: Council Business City of Mounds View Staff Report To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Michael Ulrich, Director of Public Works Item Title/Subject: Public Hearing, Second Reading and Consideration of Ordinance No. 673, Amending Chapter 906 of the Municipal Code, Section 906.04, Subd. 4, “Responsibility for Water Service Repairs” Date of Report: August 29, 2018 A Public Hearing is scheduled for 7:05pm on November 27, 2000, for public input regarding the proposed ordinance amending Chapter 906 of the Municipal Code. Staff has received a few calls regarding this proposal. I believe two to three expressed positive responses to the change. Two property owners who have already either repaired or replaced their service were opposed to the new fee and service. One residents was curious as to when the policy was changed in the past, leaving the property owner responsible for the entire service. The current ordinance was adopted on October 13, 1996. I am unsure of the reason for the change, as well as the extent of responsibility either party assumed prior to the amendment. Initially it was intended for each property owner that was covered by the amendment, would be required to participate in this program. In light of a couple of residents voicing opposition to paying for future repairs or replacement when they have recently endured them, staff would suggest to Council that this service become elective. All property owners affected by the amendment would be charged the fee initially. If a property owner elected to withdraw from the program, they would be required to submit a written request to do so. After receiving the written request, staff would refund the initial fee on the next utility bill and create a list of properties not covered by this policy. Staff seeks Council discussion and direction in this decision, if the Ordinance is adopted. _________________________________ Michael Ulrich, Director of Public Works ORDINANCE NO. 673 CITY OF MOUNDS VIEW COUNTY OF RAMSEY STATE OF MINNESOTA AN ORDINANCE AMENDING TITLE 900, CHAPTER 906 OF THE MOUNDS VIEW MUNICIPAL CODE BY AMENDING SECTION 906.04, SUBD. 4 AS TO WATER METERS AND THE RESPONSIBILITY OF REPAIRS FOR WATER SERVICE LINES THE CITY OF MOUNDS VIEW ORDAINS: SECTION 1.

This resolution directed staff to prepare an ordinance to effectuate the rezoning of the Mermaid properties from B-3 to PUD. Ordinance 675 does just that. The Planning Commission reviewed this ordinance on November 1, 2000 and passed Resolution 640-00, which recommends approval of the ordinance. Staff should point out that the legal descriptions (and graphic attached to the ordinance) do not include the business park parcel. This is due to the fact that this parcel already carries the PUD zoning designation. Staff should also point out that the Perkins parcel is not included with this rezoning as it was not included within the PUD. This is the second reading of this ordinance, the first reading having been approved on November 13, 2000. Recommendation: The Planning Commission and staff recommend approval of this ordinance to rezone the properties relating to the Mermaid planned unit development from B-3, Highway Business, to PUD, Planned Unit Development. A roll call vote is required for second readings. _____________________________________ James Ericson, Planner Attachments: 1.

ATTEST: ______________________________ MAYOR (SEAL) ______________________________ CITY ADMINISTRATOR C:\Mike's documents\resolutions\Resolution 5487 Water Service.doc Item No. 10D Type of Business: CB WK: Work Session; PH: Public Hearing; CA: Consent Agenda; CB: Council Business City of Mounds View Staff Report To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Givonna Reed, Assistant to the City Administrator Item Title/Subject: Consideration of Evaluation of Community Development Director Position Date of Report: November 21, 2000 In the fall of 1997 the Community Development Director job description was amended along with the salary and Hay points. Subsequent to the amendments being made and hiring for the position it was realized that the salary and points for the position did not match. At its November 13, 2000 meeting the City Council directed staff to conduct an evaluation of the Community Development Director position for the purpose of reconciling the points and salary. Labor Relations Associates, INC (LRA) has reviewed the job description, points and salary for the Community Development Director position. Their recommendation is that the points for the position remain at 588 based on the job description and that the salary be set at $63,600. Accepting this recommendation would be a significant step in the direction of reconciling the points and salary and would bring the position considerably closer to the internal pay line. Please review the following options for compensating the Community Development Director: 1. Set the maximum annual salary at $63,600. Start Mr. Ericson at step 2 ($54,060), advance him to step 3 after a satisfactory six-month performance evaluation, and step 4 one year after the start date. The appropriate step and cost of living increases would occur annually thereafter. Option one is the recommendation of LRA. This option would bring the position closer to the internal pay line than the other two options and most effectively matches points to salary. This option also moves the employee to the top of the scale at an accelerated pace. 2. Set the maximum annual salary for the position at $65,822. Start Mr. Ericson at step 1($52,657.60), advance him to step 2 after a satisfactory six-month performance evaluation, and step 3 one year after the start date. The appropriate step and cost of living increases would occur annually thereafter. Option two offers a salary that is midpoint between options one and two and gradually brings the salary closer to the internal pay line. This option more effectively matches points to salary than option three. 3. Set the maximum annual salary for the position at $68,045.40. Start Mr. Ericson at step 1($54,436.32), advance him to step 2 after a satisfactory six-month performance evaluation, and step 3 one year after the probationary period ends. The appropriate step and cost of living increases would occur annually thereafter. Option three maintains the pay scale that was used to compensate the previous Community Development Director but attempts to temper advancement to the top of the pay scale. This salary option puts the position significantly above the internal pay line and does not match the points assigned to the position. Recommendation: Choose a compensation option for the Community Development Director position. Also, please consider directing staff to evaluate the Lieutenant’s position which is currently $1,000 per month above the internal pay line. Taking action now could help the City avoid having to make significant pay equity changes after the position has been filled.
