With resignation of our cable coordinator we have the option of backfilling the position or contracting with CTV. Attached is a quotation for services. Staff is recommending we contract for the two council meetings per month along with the P & Z for a total of 36 meetings. We can contract for additional meetings at a fee of $200 per meeting versus the group rate at $173. The new equipment allows live streaming thus the workshops, Charter Commission, and Park, Rec and Forestry can all be done by staff using the tablets. Jenny Nelson is also trained and qualified to operate the equipment. Along with this we recommend the Cable Casting and Web Streaming services and some allocation towards production of videos ($6,000 would allow for 12 a year or one a month). Total for above would be just over $18,000. If $20,000 was allocated we should be able to cover. Approximately $78,000 was allocated to compensation for the Cable Coordinator position leaving a balance of $58,000. Department heads met to discuss options with consensus to allocate portion of remainder to fund Jenny Nelson's and Rayla Ewald's salary as they will take on more of the communication duties. The remaining unused portion will, at this time, accumulate in the fund Attached is an email from CTV Executive Director Dana Healy indicating the Commissions Attorney's opinion that Franchise Fees can be placed into the General Fund for whatever purpose a city decides. This information is helpful as we go forward but as for now, Director Beer's plan is to have the remainder reside. Consensus Requested — Sign contract with CTV implementing recommendation above. 2. Rental Licensing Landlord Accountability. Jon and Jacob are working on this but the truly effective options are very limited to one ABSENT a written complaint. That option is to do immediate inspections of multiple units at random. This has the effect of putting landlords on notice that they will need to stay in compliance. We have limited staff availability for this; however that said, with the FD Part Time assistant program we have more ability and we are working on trying to extend that program beyond the summer (the cable money may be a source to continue) 3. Water Preservation Project — As Don and I have been working on implementing an INI program it became apparent a "larger/broader" approach would be needed. Included in your packets are draft documents for a H2OPP pronounced Hop as in Hop on Board. Details are in the packet but policy decisions include consideration of a modest increase in the water fee to cover replacement of water meters and imposing a fee of $250 to fund the INI program which would, with some internal re -allocation of water, storm and sewer funds — allow funding of anew Public Works position. While that person would be assigned to Parks, it provides enough overall staff to implement the HOPP program. Staff will have more details on the funding of the position and duties of that position. While indirect, the Parks position ties into council and community goals related to being a tree city as adding that position, enables our forester to allocate more of his time to forestry related issues. Consensus Requested — Provide direction to staff on moving forward 4. Charitable Gaming — Included in the packet are copies of State Statute. Council has discretion to impose a regulation tax of up to 3% for enforcement and pass an ordinance requiring operators to share 10% of net profits with City. Consensus Requested — Provide direction to staff on profit share and tax. 5. SBM Budget Update — Our quarterly meeting of the three cities was held this past Tuesday. Both Blaine and SLP shared with Chief Smith their support of the Mounds View Council's position; move forward with the two positions but overall increase needs to be at 4.5% versus the current 6.5%. SLP will begin their budget process next week while Blaine will not engage substantially until mid -September when their new manager starts. 6. Rain Gardens - Held a strategy meeting last Tuesday with number of stakeholders and consultants. Working on assembling a plan to implement 5 identified strategies of which one is finalized; working with LMC and Board of Water and Soil on interaction with RCWS. 7.

Ensuring we preserve the water we have is best accomplished by conserving what we use and protecting every drop there is from contamination, and reducing the amount of clear water into the storm and sanitary sewer system. Our HOPP on Board initiative will focus on our drinking water, which we pump from the ground, our storm sewer water, and our sanitary sewer water as all three are intertwined. All three components will have Education, Engineering and Enforcement Components. Drinking Water Program: Engineering Components • Low volume fixtures • Water Meter Replacement Program — 25 Years Residential; 10/15 Years Commercial • Maintenance/Upgrades as needed to Municipal Water System Components — Existing • Tiered Water Rates — Existing • Energy Audits — Inspections — funding in place to do 60 year (low flow shower heads) Enforcement Components ■ Odd -Even Sprinkling - Existing Education Components • Social Media and Web • Newsletters !— Storm Water Program: Engineering Components • Storm Water Drainage System • Sump Pumps • Rain Gardens (65X?) • Storm Water Retention Ponds (47?) Enforcement Components • Sump Pump discharge Education • How each component works • Cost of INI • HOPP Sanitary Sewer Water Program: Engineering • Sanitary Sewer System Components • Waste Water Treatment Plants Enforcement Components • Point of Purchase Sale — Inspection and Slip Lining of Lateral • Slip lining of main lines - Existing Education • Social Media and Web • HOPP Program • Newsletters and Flyers • Public Meetings & Forums • All Public Works employees have S-D or higher certificate Funding Needs: Drinking Water — Slight increase to fund meter replacement otherwise fee sufficiently funding program components. Storm Water — Current fee along with grants funding program Sanitary Sewer Water - $250 Fee on Point of Purchase sale and current fee schedule suffice along with Met Council grants for I & I. Additionally, MPSCA and Met Council has low interest loans. Education for all three - $5,000 to $10,000 per year in the form of video production ($500 each), Flyers, Infographic, Benchmark reports, etc. Can come from cable fund or transfers for each of the three utility funds. 0 Benchmarks: Yellow currently occurring Drinking Water 1.

Based on our review, a new Chapter 518 is proposed for your review and possible adoption along with some changes to Chapters 502 and 503 to simplify and streamline the existing ordinances. In consultation with the City Administrator, we decided to provide the Council with a comprehensive ordinance that largely reflects existing practices at the City as well as some additional optional provisions. One such additional provision is a $100 investigation fee at Section 518,06, subd. 4. The City may assess this fee on an organization applying for or renewing the state -issued premises permit. if the City charges this investigative fee, it may not impose a local (up to) three percent gambling tax. If a City collects a gambling tax it must file an annual report with the state. The proposed gambling ordinance does not provide for the three percent tax. The City may also require a local permit when lawful gambling that is otherwise exempt from state licensing requirements is conducted within the City. This local permit requirement is provided at Section 518,07. It is important to note that state law does not mandate that a city require a local permit; state law simply allows a city to require a local permit. Another notable new provision is in Section 518.11. This provision requires each organization licensed to conduct lawful gambling within the City to contribute ten percent of its net profits derived from lawful gambling in the City to a fund administered and regulated by the City. In turn, the City disperses these funds as charitable contributions. As indicated above, the ordinance provided for your review and consideration is comprehensive. However, every provision is not required by state comments in brackets to assist in your discussion. an ordinance that meets the needs of the City. 356753vI MJM MU125-65 law. In several instances, we have provided We look forward to working with you to adopt 3 Approval. Each premises permit must be approved by the city or county having jurisdiction over the location in advance of board consideration. A city or county can require that all or part of lawful purpose expenditures raised from gambling within its jurisdiction be spent on activities within the government's trade area (as it defines the term). A city or county can require an organization within its jurisdiction to contribute up to 10 percent of its net gambling profits for lawful purposes that the city or county specifies. Local taxes. Cities and counties may levy a tax of up to 3 percent of an organization's gross gambling receipts, as long as the revenues are used for gambling regulation. Local regulation. Cities and counties may adopt gambling regulations that are more stringent than state law, including the complete prohibition of gambling within their jurisdiction, but except in the case of paddlewheels, any local regulation must apply equally to all forms of gambling. 349.213 LOCAL AUTHORITY.
