wash businesses. Community Development Director Sevald stated this was out of the City’s 35

From: Nyle Zikmund, City Administrator
Item Title/Subject: Resolution 9227, Amending Section 3.20(D) of the
Personnel Manual to Increase the Amount of Sick Leave

payment of health care dues and is capped at $55 per month.

discussions it was asked that the City consider increasing the amount. By amending the
personnel manual all employees would benefit from this change.

Fiscal Impact:
This amount can be accommodated within the 2020 budget council adopted.

it $75 per month.

City of Mounds View Staff Report
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Don Peterson, Public Works Director
Item Title/Subject: Resolution 9229, Approving the Plans and Specifications and
Authorizing bidding for the 2020 Street Project
Background/Discussion:
The City is in the process of rehabilitating streets throughout the City that were not
included in the 2007 Street Rehabilitation Plan. The 2020 proposed project includes
Quincy Street from County Road H2 to County Road I, and also Sherwood Place just
north of Mounds View Boulevard.
Quincy Street from County Road H2 to County Road I is approximately 2,660 feet in
length. The street segment has concrete curb and gutter (MN/DOT Design B618) with a
bituminous pavement surface measuring 42-feet wide average back - to - back of curb.
This street segment serves several residential properties as well as Pinewood
Elementary School. The section of Quincy has also served as a truck route for the
businesses in the Business Park North section. (Quincy Drive was originally constructed
in 1967.)
Further Discussion
Sherwood Place is a cul-de-sac just off Spring Lake Road and North of Mounds View
Boulevard. Sherwood Place is approximately 500 feet in length with a 100 feet diameter
cul-de-sac. The street segment has concrete curb and gutter (MN/DOT Design XXXXX)
with a bituminous pavement surface measuring 28- feet wide average back – to back of
curb. This street segment serves several residential properties and is a dead end street.
Sherwood Place was originally constructed in 1995.
Maintenance has included seal coating, pothole patching and skim coating as needed.
The current pavement is in poor condition with significant surface patching, potholes,
and moderate to high severity traverse cracking; curb and gutter is in fair to good
condition.
Additional Discussion:
American Engineering Testing, Inc. (AET) performed geotechnical and pavement
evaluation services on behalf of the City for Quincy Street and Sherwood Place. AET
provided recommendations for pavement rehabilitation and design. Stantec Consulting
Services has reviewed and made further recommendations for the rehabilitation of
Quincy Street and Sherwood Place.
The Mounds View Vision
A Thriving Desirable Community
Staff Report January 27, 2020 Resolution 9229
Stantec’s design and estimated improvement costs are based on AETs geotechnical and
pavement evaluation dated October 25, 2019, and with planning with Public Works Staff.
Sherwood Place is recommended to be a mill and overlay; milling 2” of asphalt and
repaving. Estimated cost is $59,114.00.
Quincy Street will be a full depth reclamation and repaving. Spot curb replacement on the
West side of the street and full curb and new sidewalk on the East side.
The estimated total cost of the project is $1,221,380.00.
The estimate includes the mill and overlay of Sherwood Place for $59,114.00. Storm
Water pipe replacement of $106,029.00, to be funded out of the Storm Water budget,
745-4415-5150. Sanitary Sewer lining on Quincy Street of $169,360.00 to be funded out
of the Sanitary Sewer budget, 730-4823-7050. The estimated Quincy Street rehabilitation
cost is $886,877.00.
The 2020 Budget has $700,000 for the project.
Construction costs and the scope of the project increased to include the failing
infrastructure on Sherwood Place and making Quincy Street a more pedestrian safe
corridor. (This would be achieved by increasing the overall width and placement of the
sidewalk and increasing it to six feet in width. New curb and gutter on the East side of the
street will also be added to accomplish this safety improvement.)
Strategic Plan Strategy/Goal: Maintain and Plan for Infrastructure Improvements.
Financial Impact: 2020 CIP-budgeted estimate of $700,000 for Quincy Street project.
Additional transfer of funds may be necessary. Public Works Staff discussed the
increased cost with the Finance Director and the City Administrator, both agreed to move
forward in order to receive bids.
The following dates would be followed for the street project:
• January 27, 2020 - Approve the Plans and Specifications and authorize bidding
• February 27, 2020 - Receive the Bids. Public Bid Opening
• March 9, 2020 - Award Contract for the Construction
• Construction to begin in late Spring of 2020
Recommendation:
Staff recommends the City Council adopt the attached Resolution approving the plans
and specifications for the 2020 Street Project for Quincy Street from County Road H2 to

City of Mounds View Staff Report
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Scott J. Riggs, City Attorney
Item Title/Subject: Resolution 9231, City of Mounds View Resolution Authorizing the
Conveyance of City of Mounds View Property to the Mounds View
Economic Development Authority
Introduction:
In conjunction with the redevelopment of the Skyline Motel property and the potential adjacent
redevelopment of two existing businesses, the City Council previously directed City staff and the
City attorney to undertake efforts to clearly establish ownership of a 30 foot excess right-of-way
area (the “Remnant Parcel”) adjacent to the Skyline Motel property. The City attorney’s office has
initiated efforts to obtain fee title to the Remnant Parcel.
Discussion:
In pursuing title correction efforts related to the Remnant Parcel, it has been determined that it
would be beneficial for the City of Mounds View’s interest to be conveyed to the Mounds View
EDA for the overall redevelopment efforts of the Skyline Motel property and the adjacent potential
business developments.
The EDA, as owner of the adjacent Skyline Motel property, needs to bring a judicial action to quiet
title to the Remnant Parcel. Part of that action is based on a claim to title that relates to a
conveyance of the Remnant Parcel in 1953 to the Township of Mounds View. In order to simplify
and consolidate the claims and allow the quiet-title action to proceed with a single plaintiff, it is
best for the City to convey its interest in the Remnant Parcel to the EDA.
Attached is Resolution Number 9231 providing for the conveyance of the Remnant Parcel from
the City to the EDA pursuant to a quit claim deed, which is also attached.
Strategic Plan Strategy/Goal:
Promote economic development within the City of Mounds View.
Financial Impact:
None
Recommendation:
The City attorney and City staff recommend that the City Council adopt Resolution 9231 providing
for the conveyance of the Remnant Parcel from the City to the EDA.
