Re: March 4th Workshop
MNDOT MNPASS Lane: Marc
Representatives from MNDOT and their communication contractor will be on hand to
provide an update on the construction/reconstruction of 35W from Lino Lakes to
Minneapolis. Discussion only, no consensus needed.
Long Lake Woods: CDD Sevald/Administrator Zikmund
Developer Harstad and Property Owner Doll have been advised of the meeting on the
4th with. Developer Harstad requested an opportunity to interact with the full council and
Council Member Bergeron requested input from the property owners directly impacted.
Mr. Doll did come in and meet with me for nearly an hour. Reviewed with him the
informal and formal development process (informal to date, formal process would begin
with submission of a preliminary plat). Also, reviewed the eminent domain process. He
had no additional questions. Advised him the workshop meeting was a consensus but
non-binding process. Developer indicated at February 4th workshop readiness to move
forward with preliminary plat but unable to develop without Parcel “A”. Requested
Council assistance in acquisition of Parcel A. Consensus discussion on council support
to use eminent domain specific to right of way acquisition for currently platted road if
property owner and developer unable to agree on purchase/aquisition.
Background/history – Issue has been around for nearly a decade, approximately 2+
years ago landowners approached council but unclear on majority. Mid 2018 developer
requested meeting with staff who advised need for developer to determine property
owner positions. Developer advised all supportive but one and unsure of one other, rest
were supportive. Council polled in late summer 2018 on eminent domain question with
consensus to explore but direction to administrator to meet with Doll. Administrator
reported back Doll was opposed, question on eminent domain posed again consensus
to continue moving forward and direction to hold neighborhood meeting which was done
fall 2018. Subsequently, Planning and Zoning sketch plan/information hearing held
January 2019 with sketch plan presentation to Council at February 4th workshop.
Request by developer and direction from Council to schedule at March 4th workshop.
YMCA: Revenue Share/Reinvestment Proposal – Director Thomas
I have asked Director Thomas to share with you his vision of the possible options if the
Council were to consider a change in the cost sharing formula. I believe Director
Thomas has some ideas that intersect directly with the Councils Strategic Plan specific
to the goal of community engagement and more on point, our diverse population. The
YMCA programs are a model of engagement for our diverse community. The
presentation illustrates the possibilities if we allow the Y to capture more of the revenue
they generate. The budget impact could be neutralized or minimized by locking in
current transfers and allocating only the future increase in revenue to additional
programming. We utilize those transfers to aid in the maintenance and building
improvements but council should consider the need for capital expenditures as it relates
to this revenue stream as wells as strategic goal of engagement and operation funds
needed to achieve that. A greater discussion on capital needs for the entire Park and
Rec division is warranted if council is so inclined.
Consensus on direct question of modifying formula to allow greater share to Y
Consensus on discussion on Park and Rec capital plan
Demonstration of PW Asset Management Program – Director Peterson
Just a fun – 20 minute demonstration on the magic of GIS Jake and the progress made
using ARC View and other asset management software to inventory and track our
public infrastructure. Presentation/Discussion only – no consensus needed
Sanitary Sewer CCTV Inspection Equipment – (Camera Van) - Director Peterson
Presentation by Director Peterson/Superintendent Szurek on purchase of a new camera
and custom vehicle for unit. Item is on the workshop agenda as new technology and
desire for an upgraded vehicle exceed the budgeted amount. Consensus on purchase
of camera and/or vehicle.
City Hall / Police Remodel – Review Plans/Cost Proposal – Director Peterson
Buetow and Associates has completed their initial work on the remodeling of City Hall
with primary focus on PD improvements and others as funds allow.
Consensus on design on prioritization of remodel projects. There will not be adequate
resources to address the “wish” list. Likely able to complete all PD modifications

reconfigure front entrance). Remaining items include hardening of council dais, shower
downstairs, installation of door to downstairs (security issue), hardening of front counter,
walling off former public works counter, creation of conference room in former public
works office space, replacement of council chairs, carpet and paint throughout city hall
(sans PD)
