6. RESIDENTS' REQUESTS AND COMMENTS FROM THE FLOOR
Mayor McCarty opened the floor to the public.
William Werner, 2765 Sherwood Road, said he had received an anonymous letter in the mail
from a group calling itself "People for Fairness in Mounds View." Mr. Werner asked the party
or parties responsible for the mailing to identify themselves and state the purpose of their
mailing. Mayor McCarty said he was aware of the letter because it had been sent to the New
Brighton Bulletin, but he had not personally read the letter. Mayor McCarty noted the subject
matter of the letter was supposed to have been attacking the City budget action and outsourcing
of the Parks and Recreation management to the YMCA. Mr. Werner said there were some very
serious charges made in the letter and he would like the City Council to find out who wrote it.
Mayor McCarty stated that the Park and Recreation outsourcing issue had gone through all
phases of city government, including: Public hearings and Parks and Recreation Commission
approval. It had been agreed on by all parties to proceed with the process. Mayor McCarty said
he was not interested in the content of the letter. But if Mr. Werner found out who wrote the
letter, he should let the City staff know.
Cam Obert, 8315 Greenwood Drive, stated the news paper incorrectly quoted the Park and
Recreation Commission as being opposed to the YMCA managing the Parks and Recreation
Department.

Obert complimented the Mayor and Council for the work that they had done during the current
year. He said he was disturbed with the casualness that the Parks and Recreation Management
issue had been brought before the people of the City. It seems the only savings to be realized by
the process is the elimination of the Park Director's salary. Obert said, "I was very bothered by
that. I was embarrassed that night. I felt she was left to hang out to dry, almost like she was
pleading for her job up here. It wasn't a good display by the City of Mounds View." Another
issue of embarrassment was the fact that one of the neighboring communities put in a bid to run
our City's Parks and Recreation Department. Obert asked, "Are we incapable? Are we that down
in the minor leagues? Are we level B?, we're going to let level As run our business?" Obert said
he was opposed to outsourcing the Parks and Recreation Department to the YMCA. He said the
City's staff should have been given the opportunity to run the programs out of the new
Community Center for aone-year period. Then the decision could have been made as to actual
costs of the City-run program.
Mayor McCarty in response: The City Council realizes one thing: The Community Center is
going to have a very expensive operation and maintenance tag attached to it. Even if the entire
City Council was to forgo their salaries the most that could be raised would be $39,000. This
• simply wouldn't make a difference as to whether or not the City staff ran the Parks and
7. COUNCIL BUSINESS
Recreation Department. The City is looking for the most efficient way to run its business.
Outsourcing and privatization are among those options. The City has levy limits and state
mandates that must be met, he said. Obert suggested that the City Council return to the "all
volunteer" Council of the past as a means to save some money for the City. He said the other
commission and board members of the City work for free, why not the City Council.

No. 624, An Ordinance Adopting the 1998 Long Term Financial Plan.
Discussion: Stigney told the Council he had "concerns with some of the content of this Long
Term Financial Plan, and therefore, by adopting it, what does this mean?" Mayor McCarty told
Stigney by adopting the Long Term Financial Plan he would be approving it. Whiting told the
Council by adopting the Long Term Plan it is approved for aone-year period because the budget
process is repeated on a yearly basis. Mayor McCarty said the Long Term Budget is a five-year
plan but it can be amended from year to year to better fit the needs of the City.

Mounds View City Council
December 14, 1998
Page 5
D. Consideration of Resolution No. 5283, Adopting the 1999 Property Tax Levy and General
Fund Budget. The Council concurred unanimously. Stigney suggested that Item G.
Consideration of Approving a Telecommunications Bid Award for City Hall, Community Center
and Y2K Upgrade, also be considered before Item D. Mayor McCarty said the funds for Item G
were coming from the Undesignated Reserve and would not effect the Franchise Fee or the Levy
Limit so it would be okay to leave it in the order as published in the Agenda.
D. Consideration of Resolution No. 5283, Adopting the 1999 Property Tax Levy and
General Fund Budget.
Whiting presented the Council, as directed at the Truth-in-taxation hearing of November 30,
1998, a plan to balance the $25,000 budget deficit that had been discussed at that meeting. Two
areas of change have been explored:
The Community Service Officer Position ($36,000)
Staff was recommending that this full-time position be reduced to a half-time position and couple
that position with the existing half-time CSO to give the City the equivalent of one full-time
Community Service Officer. This would change the scope of the position and discussion would
have to be held in this regard.
2. The receptionist position, part-time office help
Staff was recommending elimination of this position.
Staff also addressed an increase in the Franchise Fee from 2.5 percent to 3 percent, which could
start March 1, 1999 and would add $31,000 of revenue.
Kesel stated Resolution 5283 included the adjustments through Item 8 on the supplemental
sheet. Quick asked Kessel to review the supplemental sheet.
Kesel read the supplemental items into the record.
MOTION/SECOND: Quick/Koopmeiners moved Resolution No. 5283, Adopting the 1999
Property Tax Levy and General Fund Budget.
Stigney stated he did not agree with the increase in the Franchise Fee from 2.5 percent to 3
percent, nor did he agree with the hiring of additional staff in the form of the CSO. "There are
many things in this budget that I don't agree with," Stigney said, "so I can't support it." The
Mayor asked Stigney for an amendment.

Mounds View City Council
December 14, 1998
Page 6
MOTION/SECOND: McCarty/Gunn to amend the budget by dropping the CSO and the part-
time receptionist position; and make the balance up to return the Franchise Fee to 2.5 percent
from the Contingency Fund. That is we, would go from about $46,000 to around $30,000 on the
Contingency Fund.
Discussion: Koopmeiners asked if the CSO position would be completely eliminated by this
action. Mayor McCarty agreed that it would and said the duties would be offset by reassignment
of duties.
VOTE (On the Amendment): Ayes - 4 Nay - 1 (Quick) The motion carried
Quick said he voted against the amendment because the City needs an active code enforcement
officer other than an already over worked City staff.
MOTION/SECOND: Stigney/Mayor McCarty to eliminate all Rotary memberships and to
eliminate the 3 percent salary adjustments.
Koopmeiners asked Stigney how he would reduce the salaries. Stigney stated the subject would
require further discussion by Staff and Council and he could not be specific at this time. Mayor
McCarty said the Rotary memberships are essential for maintaining a competitive edge in the
communities economic development program. He added the salary reductions being proposed
are getting the City very close to the point of noncompliance with state law regarding equity pay.

regard to this issue. Mayor McCarty said if Council Business Item 7G was not approved no
action would be taken on this issue.

Hall, Community Center and Y2K Upgrade.
Tracy Sanchez reviewed the staff report dated December 11, 1998, which outlined costs for
replacing the City's current telecommunications system, additions for the community center
telephone service, and Y2K compliance needs.
• Stigney asked what the reference to "Y2K + Community Center only" meant on the equipment
list dated November 25, 1998. Mayor McCarty asked if there had been an unqualified bid that
Mounds View City Council
December 14, 1998
Page 8
had come in after the bidding process. Ms. Sanchez told the Council that Executone had
separately included a Y2K upgrade and also a Community Center addition of five phones only.
Mayor McCarty asked if the quote was part of the original bidding document. Ms. Sanchez said
it was not. Mayor McCarty said the discussion was limited to companies complying with the
original bid documents. City Attorney Long stated any bid received outside the bid
specifications would not be considered.
Koopmeiners asked Whiting to tell the Council what problems the City has encountered with the
current Executone system. Whiting said the system was not flexible when it came to hooking it
up with the Golf Course. Koopmeiners stated that Executone's inability to get problems resolved
had been very frustrating for the Police Department. Stigney noted if Executone upgraded the
system it would be "like new."
MOTION/SECOND: Stigney/McCarty to deny Resolution No. 5290, Approving a
Telecommunications Bid Award for City Hall, Community Center and Y2K upgrades and throw
out all bids.
Ms. Sanchez stated Executone's $15,000 option would not be "state of the art," rather it would be
a'band-aid' for the current system."
MOTION/SECOND: Quick/Gunn to call the question.
VOTE: Ayes - 4 Nays - 1 (Stigney) The motion carried
VOTE (On the original motion): Ayes - 1 (Stigney) Nays - 4 The motion failed.
MOTION/SECOND: Koopmeiners/Gunn to approve Resolution 5290, Approving a
Telecommunications Bid Award for City Hall, Community Center and Y2K Upgrades to Action
Systems.
Discussion: Stigney expressed his concern that the Council and staff did not understand the
system that Executone was bidding and it is a waste of the tax payers money to pay for a system
that is not what the City needs. Mayor McCarty said the staff is making a recommendation
based on what they know their needs to be. They have analyzed the bids and their
recommendation should be followed, he said.
VOTE: Ayes - 4 Nays - 1 (Stigney) The motion carried
H. Motion to Authorizing staff to select a vendor to provide vending machine services at the
Community Center and for the Mayor and Clerk Administrator to execute a contract in

behalf of the City.
Kesel reviewed the staff report dated December 1 1, 1998.
MOTION/SECOND: Koopmeiners/Quick to authorize staff to select a vendor to provide
vending machine services. at the Community Center and for the Mayor and Clerk Administrator
to execute a contract on behalf of the City.
VOTE: Ayes - 5 Nays - 0 The motion carried.
I. Consider Authorizing City Attorney and Clerk Administrator to finalize negotiations of
the catering and food service agreement and authorize the Mayor and Clerk Administrator
to execute finalized agreement. (Draft agreement attached.)
At a Council Work Session staff had been directed to give the Council some idea of what other
communities are paying for their catering services. Some cities do not have exclusive services.
Several have a "kitchen fee" rather than a "percentage fee" which is around $75 Kessel said. The
City of Maplewood offers a percentage guarantee for the cater. Kessel recommended against this
approach until operation of the facility has stabilized.
Kessel said an amendment had been added to the "exclusivity agreement" that seniors could have
food in their area that was not catered in. Aiso, if events were going on in the gymnasium their
food would not have to be catered in. This agreement also extended to people that were just
serving desserts.
Sherry Linke said the Community Center does not anticipate having groups of less than 100
people.
MOTION/SECOND: Mayor McCarty/Quick to Authorize the City Attorney and Clerk
Administrator to finalize negotiations of the catering and food service agreement subject to final
approval by the Council and authorize the Mayor and Clerk Administrator to execute the interim
agreement.
VOTE: Ayes - 5 Nays - 0 The motion carried

J. Public Hearing and Consideration of Resolution No. 5286, Approving a Preliminary Plat
Mounds View City Council
December 14, 1998
Page 10
for the Anthony Properties Addition.
Associate Ericson gave the staff report as follows:
Anthony Properties, the developer of the 15-screen Carmike Theater project has applied for a
major subdivision of the parcel formerly know as the O'Neil property, presently referred to as the
"Theater Site." According to the City Code, a major subdivision is defined as a subdivision of a
parcel greater than one acre in area or one in which more than one lot is created. The theater Site
comprises approximately 26 acres and is proposed to be subdivided into seven parcels, in
keeping with the approved final stage plan of the Planned Unit Development (PUD).
The Mounds View City Council approved the development stage of the Anthony Properties PUD
on Apri127, 1998. This PUD allows for the 15-screen movie theater, three office buildings and
two retail or restaurant uses. The final plan for this development was approved administratively
by the City on July 30, 1998 and a building permit was issued for the theater building. The
parking lot has been paved and striped and accesses have been stubbed into both Highway 10 and
Donatelles. The access to County Road HZ has been completely installed.
Because of the multiple uses and potential for multiple ownership entities, a platting
(subdivision) of the theater site is required. This requirement is evident in Item 21 of the
approved PUD Document for the Theater Site and results from a City Code stipulation
prohibiting more than one principal structure upon a single parcel.
Staff was recommending approval of Resolution No. 5286, a resolution approving the
preliminary plat for the Anthony Properties Addition, with stipulations.
Ericson noted that approval of Resolution No. 5286 would approve a preliminary plat. Before
the final plat is approved, the City shall have received a park dedication fee in the amount of
$103,250 from the applicant.
Mayor McCarty, for clarification, said the 19 foot easement running parallel to Highway 10,
which allows for implementation of the Highway 10 Design Theme is being granted in the
preliminary plat by the developer. However, in the future that may be preempted by the state.
Ericson said it is not granted as part of the platting process because you can only have utility or
drainage easements on a plat. So what is needed is a separate easement document, which is
currently being drafted by the City Attorney. The City sees no problem with the granting of the
easement.
Mayor McCarty stated the park dedication fee should be based on the higher of two figures,
those being: current appraised value and estimated value at the time the project was initiated.
Mounds View City Council
December 14, 1998
Page 11
City Attorney Long recommended: In paragraph four of the resolution, state: "The applicant
shall pay a park dedication in an amount equal to 10 percent of the fair market value of the land
as determined by an appraisal. And then you can have an appraisal come in between now and the
final plat and its going to be 10 percent of whatever that appraisal is."
Mayor McCarty closed the City Council meeting and opened the public hearing.
No public comments were consider. Mayor McCarty close the public hearing and reopened the
City Council meeting.
MOTION/SECOND: Mayor McCarty/ -------- to approve Resolution 5286, Approving a
Preliminary Plat for the Anthony Properties Addition, with the changes in Item four as stated by
the City Attorney: Before the final plat is approved by the City, the applicant shall have paid a
park dedication fee in the amount of 10 percent of the market value of the land as determined by
an appraisal.
The motion failed due to a lack of a second.
MOTION/SECOND: Gunn/Koopmeiners to approve Resolution No. 5286, Approving a

VOTE: Ayes - 5 Nays - 0 The motion carried.
K. Consideration of Resolution No. 5288 for Silver Lake Commons Agreement.
City Attorney Long noted that the first document that the City Council had approved was called
the "Initial Agreement." This agreement called for a housing development agreement, a
management agreement, and a regulatory or operating agreement, all of which were designed to
protect the interests of the City. Closing on the project is scheduled for the week of December
21, 1998.
Staff was recommending approval of Resolution 5288 Authorizing the Mayor to enter into the
stated agreements on behalf of the City of Mounds View.
MOTION/SECOND: Koopmeiners/Gunn to approve Resolution No. 5288 for Silver Lake
Commons.

and Parks Maintenance Bargaining Unit.

Labor Agreement Contract with Public Works and Parks Maintenance Bargaining Unit.
MOTION/SECOND: Stigney/Mayor McCarty to amend the agreement back to a one-year
contract.
Discussion: Mayor McCarty said the shorter the contract the more advantage to the negotiators
for the bargaining unit. This contract is an advantage to both parties in that they get a longer
contract and the City gets more time to deal with contract renewal. Stigney said it was his
opinion that the City would benefit from being able to look at the contract at the end of a one-
year period.

Sale Licensed facility in the City of Mounds View or where a contiguous city has issued a
license to dispense liquor with a temporary license for certain events at the Community Center.
To do so, the City has to follow the provisions in the Code for issuing a new license, which are
covered in Section 502.08.
