Public Works Director Peterson reported the City was required to hold an informational meeting 35
each year to discuss the City’s Stormwater Pollution Prevention Program (SWPPP). He noted the 36
goals of this meeting were to inform and educate citizens. He commented on the importance of 37
the Clean Water Act. He reviewed the City’s six minimum control measures which were to 38
educate the public, for there to be public participation, to address illicit discharge, to provide 39
construction site storm water runoff control, to address post-construction storm water management 40
and pollution prevention. 41
42
Public Works Director Peterson stated 2019 had a record breaking 44.05” of rain, noting the Twin 43
Cities average annual precipitation was 30.6”. He described how all this rain impacted 44
groundwater levels and explained sump pumps were running more frequently. He reviewed the 45
MS4 Stormwater Do’s and Don’ts and encouraged homeowners to report illicit discharge, to 46

pickup their grass clippings, littler and pet waste, and to recycle household chemicals. He 1
encouraged residents to not block infiltration basins, to not blow leaves or grass clippings into the 2
street or infiltration basins and to not overuse lawn maintenance chemicals. He provided further 3
comment on how the City encouraged public participation in successful stormwater management. 4
He reviewed the City’s pollution prevention activities noting this included proper municipal lawn 5
care and aggressive street sweeping. He discussed the City’s street deicing program noting the 6
City was working to minimize the use of chemicals while still ensuring safe driving conditions. 7
Further discussion ensued regarding the City’s good housekeeping measures. He reported pet 8
waste was a growing concern for communities in the metro area. He reported further information 9
regarding the City’s stormwater management practices was available on the City’s website. He 10
then asked for comments or questions from the Council. 11

Shasky at 2256 Lois Drive. He reported this was the City’s fifth request for a chicken/duck license 21

residents of Mounds View for the past nine years. She explained she has been working from home 31
during the COVID-19 crisis while also helping to educate her children. She indicated she would 32
like to have backyard chickens in order to better educate her children on the farm to table concept. 33
She reported she has fed her family through the plants she grows in her garden and appreciated the 34
fact she would now be able to also provide her family with fresh eggs from three egg laying hens. 35
She reviewed the breeds of hens her family would have and thanked the Council for considering 36
her request. 37

9
D. Resolution 9285, Approving or Denying Property Owner’s Appeals related to 10
the Quincy Street Reconstruction Project. 11
12
Community Development Director Sevald requested the Council consider approving or denying a 13
property owners appeal related to the Quincy Street reconstruction project. He explained there 14
were 12 driveways along Quincy Street that were non-conforming and four property owners were 15
appealing. He explained one request was made after the deadline. 16
17
Mayor Mueller asked if the Council had all received the late submittal of the request from Tanya 18
Battista. The Council confirmed they had received this information. 19
20
Mayor Mueller reviewed the addresses of the properties appealing their non-conforming driveway 21
as being 5386 Quincy Street, 5425 Quincy Street and 5453 Quincy Street. 22
23
Community Development Director Sevald stated the driveway at 5386 Quincy Street currently has 24
a zero side yard setback. He explained staff was proposing to put the driveway opening at 5 feet 25
on the east side of Quincy Street. He reported the resident would like to keep the driveway opening 26
as is. In addition, the resident had concerns about the new driveway color matching the existing 27
driveway. 28
29
Mayor Mueller asked if there was any way the City could guarantee the new driveway would 30
match the existing driveway. Community Development Director Sevald stated this would be 31
impossible because concrete changes color as it ages. 32
33
Mayor Mueller questioned if the driveway at 5386 Quincy Street was permitted. Community 34
Development Director Sevald reported the City had no permit on record, but noted the City had 35
installed the curb and gutter in the 1980’s. 36
37
Community Development Director Sevald discussed the appeal from the property owners at 5425 38
Quincy Street and 5433 Quincy Street. He explained these two properties shared the same 39
driveway opening and have a zero foot setback. He noted the property at 5433 Quincy Street 40
received a variance to allow this. He reported the City would be installing the driveway per what 41
the variance allows. He indicated because the property owner at 5425 Quincy Street does not have 42
a variance staff was recommending the driveway entrance on this property have a five foot setback. 43
He commented the property owner was requesting the driveway be installed at zero feet as well as 44
creating a bump between the two properties. 45
46
Mounds View City Council June 8, 2020
Regular Meeting Page 5
Public Works Director Peterson discussed the reason the bump was installed between the two 1
driveways. 2
3
Mayor Mueller questioned if there was an additional cost that gets passed onto the property owner 4
for having an extra wide driveway. Community Development Director Sevald stated the extra cost 5
was not usually passed onto the property owner. 6
7
Mayor Mueller stated the last property under consideration was at 5453 Quincy Street. 8
9
Community Development Director Sevald explained with this property the driveway has a less 10
than five foot setback and when the City issued a permit for the driveway it was specific for a one 11
foot setback. However, when the driveway was installed the driveway had a two or three foot 12
setback. He indicated the driveway was installed by the previous property owner. He commented 13
the new property owner believed the fence line was the property line which was about five feet 14
from the driveway. However, the fence was not on the property line. He explained staff was 15
proposing to install the driveway with a five foot setback which would shift the driveway by two 16
or three feet. The owners object to this for aesthetic purposes and they would like to have a straight 17
driveway in order to back up their trailer. 18
19
Tanya Battista, 5307 Quincy Street, requested a variance in order to maintain the existing two curb 20
cuts. She explained she would like her elderly parents to be able to have easy access to her front 21
door. She noted her parents would like to maintain their independence and she would like the 22
driveway to remain as is. She indicated her mom recently had knee surgery on both knees and was 23
now complaining of hip pain. She reported she was predisposed to the same condition as her 24
mother. She explained the second curb cut allows her mother to have easy access the front door. 25
She stated if she was allowed to keep both curb cuts she would be replacing both driveways. She 26
understood she had more curb and gutter than other neighbors. She indicated her lot was large 27
enough that she could split the lot to have the house on one and the garage on the other, therefore 28
allowing her to have two driveways. She commented her neighbors supported her driveways 29
remaining as is. She did not understand why the driveways were not grandfathered in. She 30
respectfully requested the City allow her to keep the two curb cuts in place. 31
32
Council Member Bergeron reminded the Council that in the past the Planning Commission and 33
the Council has made accommodations for elderly parents and disabled individuals when it comes 34
to access to homes. He believed this request fell into this category. 35
36
Council Member Meehlhause agreed stating the Council approved a similar request in recent years 37
to allow an elderly parent better access to a home. He questioned if the property owner could 38
subdivide the property and have just a garage on one lot. Community Development Director 39
Sevald explained the lot with the garage would have to have sewer and water hook ups. He noted 40
the property with the garage would be required to have a home built on it within one year of the 41
subdivision. 42
43
Council Member Hull explained he could support this request. 44
45
Council Member Gunn agreed. 46

MOTION/SECOND: Gunn/Meehlhause. To Deny the Property Owner’s Appeal for the property 9
at 5386 Quincy Street related to the Quincy Street Reconstruction Project. 10
11
Mayor Mueller commented this driveway has been in place for the past 30 years. She believed it 12
would be quite a disruption if the property owner were required to realign this driveway. For this 13
reason, she would not be supporting the denial of this appeal. 14
15
Council Member Bergeron indicated changing the curb cut to 24 feet would have a minimal effect 16
on the driveway. 17
18
Council Member Gunn agreed with Council Member Bergeron. She stated she would like to 19
amend her motion. 20
21
AMENDMENT TO THE MOTION/SECOND: Gunn/Meehlhause. To allow for the zero foot 22
setback and to narrow the curb cut to 24 feet. 23
24
Council Member Meehlhause asked if the sidewalk along Quincy Street was being widened. 25
Public Works Director Peterson reported this was the case, noting the sidewalk would be six feet 26
wide. He explained the reason for narrowing the driveway was to allow the curbing “wing” to 27
not be placed on the neighbor’s property. He suggested the 24 foot driveway width include the 28
“wings”. 29
30
Council Member Gunn questioned if the Council should table action on this item. 31
32
Mayor Mueller stated she had one more question. She asked if the property had a catch basin. 33
Public Works Director Peterson indicated this property did not have a catch basin. 34
35
MOTION/SECOND: Gunn/Meehlhause. To Table Action on this Item to the June 22, 2020 City 36
Council Meeting to allow Public Works Director Peterson to further investigate the driveway 37
situation at 5386 Quincy Street. 38
39
A roll call vote was taken. 40
41
Ayes – 5 Nays – 0 Motion carried. 42
43
Mayor Mueller reported the next appeal was from the property owners at 5425 Quincy Street. 44
45
Council Member Gunn asked how staff addressed properties where adjoining driveways had one 46
Mounds View City Council June 8, 2020
Regular Meeting Page 7
from asphalt and the other from concrete. Public Works Director Peterson explained the City 1
replaces driveways with their existing material, noting the aprons were always concrete. 2
3
Council Member Meehlhause stated he was inclined to support this appeal noting there was a 4
similar situation along County Road H. 5
6
Council Member Bergeron questioned if the two driveways were in compliance individually so 7
long as the bump remains. Community Development Director Sevald explained the driveway at 8
5433 was in compliance because of the variance and the driveway at 5425 was not. 9
10
Council Member Bergeron stated as long as the bump was in place, he could support the driveway 11
appeal. 12
13
MOTION/SECOND: Bergeron/Mueller. To Deny the Curb Cut and Approve the Property 14
Owner’s Side Yard Setback Appeal for the property at 5425 Quincy Street related to the Quincy 15
Street Reconstruction Project. 16
17
A roll call vote was taken. 18
19
Ayes – 5 Nays – 0 Motion carried. 20
21
Mayor Mueller stated the last appeal was for the property at 5453 Quincy Street. 22
23
Council Member Meehlhause requested further information regarding this appeal. Community 24
Development Director Sevald explained the current driveway was somewhere between two and 25
three feet from the property line. He indicated the City was proposing to install the driveway five 26
feet from the property line. 27
28
Council Member Meehlhause stated he was inclined to deny this request. 29
30
Mayor Mueller questioned how the property owner would be able to sneak a car out while the 31
trailer is parked in the driveway. Community Development Director Sevald explained the trailer 32
could remain as is. He noted the driveway would remain the width of the garage, not the garage 33
door. He commented the property owners would lose roughly two or three feet of driveway width 34
at the street. 35
36
Mayor Mueller stated the property owners had a very large trailer that they were backing in and 37
out of the driveway. 38
39
Council Member Meehlhause commented this property owner may not always reside in the home. 40
41
Council Member Bergeron explained the width of the driveway would only be narrowed at the 42
street. He indicated he had no problem changing the curb cuts but he did have an issue messing 43
with the driveway. 44
45
Mounds View City Council June 8, 2020
Regular Meeting Page 8
Council Member Gunn anticipated the reason this appeal was before the City Council was because 1
the property owner had a very large trailer. 2
3
Council Member Bergeron supported this driveway being grandfathered in given the fact the 4
property owner had followed the rules when the driveway was installed and the rules have since 5
changed. 6
7
Council Member Hull agreed with Council Member Bergeron. He stated changing the driveway 8
alignment could be a hardship for this property owner. 9

28
Public Works Director Peterson requested the Council approve the cost for the Administration 29
Secured Entrance Phase 2 portion of the remodeling project taking place at City Hall/Police 30
Department. He discussed the work that had been taking place at City Hall. He indicated the only 31
delay that had occurred was with the bullet proof glass at the Police Department. He reported the 32
project was coming in under budget at this time. He explained staff had reviewed how the new 33
entry way sho uld be designed and the project was bid separately. The City received two bids for 34
the project and the low bid was submitted by DPG for $23,446.78 with an allowance for additional 35
electrical work. The total project cost for the new administration entrance would be $36,496.78. 36

1. Long Lake Woods – Developer Request. 38
39
Community Development Director Sevald provided the Council with an update on the Long Lake 40
Woods development. He reported the developer, Marty Harstad, has requested the City to 41
reconsider assessing the costs for storm sewer to the 14 benefiting property owners. He explained 42
this project would require the extension of Greenwood Drive. He indicated 12 properties were 43
willing participants in this project and two were not. 44
45
Mounds View City Council June 8, 2020
Regular Meeting Page 10
City Administrator Zikmund stated this was being driven by a change from the original proposal. 1
He explained the change was the ditch running through the existing property was being proposed 2
to be piped. However, the watershed district has denied this request. This denial would require 3
the developer to run all stormwater into a pond for treatment, which will expand the ponding by 4
40%. He explained after speaking with the City Attorney regarding this matter he argued there 5
was a legitimate reason to have all 14 properties participating in these improvements. He indicated 6
it would cost more for the City to install the storm water but the City would then control this utility, 7
while also being able to assess across all 14 property owners. 8
9
Council Member Gunn requested further information regarding the term “treated”. Public Works 10
Director Peterson explained treated stormwater meant rain water was running into a pond to 11
eliminate some of the sediment while also holding it back before running downstream. 12
13
Council Member Meehlhause stated the City would have the responsibility for maintaining this 14
pond. Public Works Director Peterson reported this would be the case. 15
16
Council Member Bergeron commented he was concerned with the fact this project was proposed 17
one way and now that was changing and the City would have to pick up more of the burden. He 18
indicated water was a huge issue for this project. He feared that the developer had not done his 19
due diligence and this burden was now falling on the City. He stated he tremendously opposed 20
this request. 21
22
City Administrator Zikmund reported Mr. Harstad had a wetland delineation completed prior to 23
moving forward this project and no wetland was reported. However, after further review a small 24
wetland was found. He indicated the Rice Creek Watershed also denied the proposal from the City 25
with Stantec to put the ditch into a pipe. He explained Mr. Harstad was not requesting additional 26
money from the City but rather was asking the City to have the City complete the stormwater 27
management with all 14 properties participating in the cost. 28
29
Mayo r Mueller inquired what the cost would be for the 14 properties. 30
31
Council Member Bergeron stated at present the property was in compliance with watershed 32
requirements. He indicated if the development were to be constructed the property would be out 33
of compliance. City Administrative Zikmund reported this was the case, the changes were being 34
driven by the development. 35
36
Mayor Mueller asked if the lots on the east would have a water feature in their backyard. 37
Community Development Director Sevald explained the stormwater pond would be located in 38
their backyard but this pond would only have standing water after large rain events for 48 hours. 39
40
Further discussion ensued regarding how to proceed with this matter. 41
42
Council Member Bergeron stated just because this project will pay for itself in a few years does 43
not mean it is the right thing to do. 44
45

Council Member Meehlhause reiterated that it was 12 of the property owners that were driving 1

Zikmund stated a small wetland was found, but noted this was in the d itch area. He explained Mr. 3
Harstad had no way of knowing the contractor had not done the wetland delineation properly. He 4
indicated there was frustration with the Rice Creek Watershed District and noted the City may take 5
over permitting in the future. 6
7
Council Member Hull asked what staff’s recommendation was. City Administrator Zikmund 8
stated staff does not have a recommendation at this time. He understood this was a difficult 9
situation. 10
11
Council Member Gunn reported this property was always slated for residential development. She 12
anticipated if the City were to install the road and utilities, including the stormwater pond, this 13
would make the area more inviting for future development. She stated if this project were to move 14
forward only 12 properties should be assessed and not 14. 15
16
Council Member Bergeron requested staff repeat the statement regarding the likelihood of another 17
developer picking this project up if the present developer were to back out. Community 18
Development Director Sevald stated it would be difficult to find another developer. He indicated 19
this project has been in the works for the past 20 years and if any one property owner were to back 20
out the entire project would fail. 21
22
Council Member Bergeron recalled staff stating something to the effect that “no other developer 23
would touch it” and this could be correct. He stated this may indicate this was not a good place to 24
build. Community Development Director Sevald explained the more property owners that were 25
involved the more challenging it was to get a project through. 26
27
Council Member Meehlhause questioned if the City would build the stormwater pond. City 28
Administrator Zikmund reported the City would have a choice, and staff would recommend the 29
City build the pond. 30
31
Mayor Mueller estimated the expense of the pond would be $250,000 or $21,000 per lot for 12 32
properties or $18,000 if 14 lots were included. She asked if the 12 property owners supported 33
paying this expense. City Administrator Zikmund commented this did not need to be discussed or 34
clarified. He reported Mr. Harstad would do the math and get the estimates for the project. He 35
explained the Council needed to make a determination if this project would be assessed to 12 lots 36
or 14 lots. 37
38
Council Member Bergeron commented if the City were to move forward with the 12 lots there was 39
only a $3,000 difference in the price, versus an $18,000 liability for the two lots that do not want 40
to be a part of this project. 41
42
Mayor Mueller agreed with this statement and stated she supported only assessing the 12 properties 43
participating in this development. 44
45
The Council was in agreement. 46

City Administrator Zikmund provided the Council with an update regarding in-person meetings. 6
He stated after speaking with neighboring communities the vast majority was not meeting in-7
person. He indicated the only city meeting in-person was Coon Rapids and they had fitted their 8
Council Chambers with plexi-glass barriers to the left, right and in front of all Councilmembers. 9
He explained staff had reached out to Dana Healy at CTV to discuss social distancing. He 10
indicated nine people could fit into the Council Chambers which would allow for the City Council 11
and staff members to be present. He stated CTV would be drafting a memo for staff and this 12
information would be forwarded onto the Council for further discussion on June 22nd. He 13
commented the Council would have to consider how to hold meetings in the future and noted a 14
hybrid model may encourage further resident involvement. 15
16
City Administrator Zikmund commented on the peaceful demonstrations that have been held in 17
Mounds View over the past two weeks. He discussed how other communities were addressing 18

From: Jon Sevald, Community Development Director
Item Title/Subject: Resolution 9287; Approving Appeal of Nonconforming
Driveway Related to the Quincy Street Reconstruction
Project for 5386 Quincy Street
Discussion:
During street reconstruction projects, it is the intent that all non-conforming driveways
be made conforming as much as practical, and provides Staff the authority to make
these decisions.1 As part of the Quincy Street project, Staff notified 12 property owners

conforming to City Code. Four property owners appealed Staff’s decisions, and were
considered by the City Council at its June 8th meeting. The Council approved three
appeals, and tabled an appeal for 5386 Quincy Street, pending further research by
Staff.
Based on the Council’s June 8th discussion, the attached drawing would reduce the curb
cut opening from 29’ to 24’, but preserve the 0’ side yard setback2 behind the sidewalk.

Summary of City Statement
The Mounds View City Council has finalized a statement regarding the death of George Floyd and
subsequent events related to racism in America and Police Reform.
The full statement can be found on our web page.
We join all others in expressing our outrage over the senseless death of Mr. Floyd, express our
condolences and sympathy to the family, and commit to do our part to address systemic racism.
The City recently underwent a comprehensive review of all policies – police related and other and they
model the 21st Century Policing report. Our officers meet and exceed all training requirements,
especially those related to use of force.
Lastly, we are very proud of the extensive outreach programs in our police department, a full time
officer dedicated to outreach, two school resource officers, and nearly 30 outreach events a year to our
community.
Again, the full statement is available on our web page.
Message from the City of Mounds View Council and Leadership Team
June 22, 2020
Mounds View Residents:
Mounds View, like innumerable others, joins in the outrage and needless death of George Floyd. Derek
Chauvin violated policy, professional training, and human dignity in his arrest and caused the
subsequent death of George Floyd. He will be held accountable for his actions.
This incident and George Floyd’s death, while tragic, has reopened – to a new historic level; the much
needed and woefully inadequate resolution to racism in America. The City of Mounds View welcomes
this discussion.
Law Enforcement Standards/Policy are and should be part of this discussion. The City of Mounds View
has spent the last two years systematically conducting a comprehensive review of our entire City Code
which includes several chapters related to law enforcement; our personnel manual, and all policies
specific to law enforcement. This review included input from the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension,
POST Board, League of Minnesota Cities, City Attorney, staff and Council. Policies related to Body
Camera and use of force included community representation input. In total, over 1,000 staff hours and
$30,000 in legal fees were committed to this undertaking.
Law enforcement training is absolutely imperative to ensuring professionalism and the Mounds View
Police Department undergoes rigorous training in all statutorily mandated training which includes:
Mandatory Training in 3 Year License Cycle
• Implicit Bias 1 and 2
• Mental Health 1, 2, 3, and 4
• Persuasion and De-escalation
• Ethics and Professional Conduct
• Critical Incidents
• Policing Protest
• Crisis Response
• Conflict Management
• Cultural Diversity
Mandatory Use of Force
• Use of Deadly Force
• Use of Force Legal Issues
• Use of Force Readiness Aspect
Other
• MN Crisis Intervention
• Firearms (verbal skills, de-escalation, less lethal options/shoot/don’t shoot)
• Use of Less than Lethal Force (Canine, Bolowrap, Contact Weapons, One-on-One Control Tactics,
Verbal Skills, De-Escalation, Taser, Chemical Agent)
• Mission specific training – vehicle operation, leadership and management, drug related, report
writing, maintenance of equipment, traffic operations, etc.
• Specialty training related to discipline such as the School Resource Officer, Community Outreach
Officer, etc.
Mounds View takes tremendous pride in our efforts to address racial diversity issues given nearly 30% of
our community is comprised of non-white individuals. The Mounds View Police Departments has led
this effort thru unprecedented outreach over the past 4 years engaging in more than 30 outreach events
each year. New programs include; Daddy Daughter Dance, New Americans Academy, Rock Wall, a Nite
to Unite Pre-Party, developing robust relationships with our faith leaders and non-profits, establishing a
new position within North East Youth and Family Services providing diversion and mental health versus
criminal justice, and hosting Ghana Fest and Ghana Independence Day Celebration. Existing programs
include shop with a cop, coffee with a cop, cone with a cop, bowl with a cop, and Nite to Unite; all which
continue to provide opportunities for community interaction and relationship building.
Additionally, the Mounds View Council has taken the following actions specific to improving community
diversity and relationships;
1. Elevated Community Outreach to a primary duty in the Police Chief’s Job Description four years
ago.
2. Supported creation of a permanent Community Outreach position in Police Department one
year ago with a focus on outreach to multi-family housing where a large portion of our diverse
population resides.
3. Support and funding of a second School Resource Officer resulting in outreach programs in both
Pinewood Elementary and Edgewood Middle schools.
Moving forward we are committed to continuing this leadership. Mounds View PD has a very robust
hiring process that includes extensive background checks, a highly rigorous field training officer
program, ongoing substantive training, and a zero tolerance for policy violation. The Mounds View
Council receives a quarterly verbal and written report from the Police Chief. We are proud of our Police
Department. We are outraged at the actions of Derek Chauvin for his senseless act and also for the
enormous harm his action has cast upon the extraordinary men and women who make up the Mounds
View Police Department and the thousands of officers across this nation who are just like them.
In closing, as the discussion turns to reform, the City does not support reactive reform, rather
deliberative reform that is evidenced based and contemplates the tremendous diversity of organizations
and communities. Meaningful reform provides the requisite tools needed yet provides flexibility to
accommodate as the situation warrants determined by the locally elected policy makers.

Introduction: In accordance with Ordinance 951, a public hearing is no longer required for liquor
license renewals. The City of Mounds View issued liquor licenses for the subject businesses
effective July 1, 2019, and their renewals are before the City Council for consideration as they will
expire June 30, 2020.
Discussion: All applicants, with the exception the Theater, have submitted their city liquor license
application materials and the applicable fees. Staff has had communication with a Theater
representative who indicated that they are not sure about reopening but will keep us informed. Staff
indicated that we would continue with a renewal process if and when necessary. The following
investigations and inspections have been conducted to determine whether there is cause for the
City to consider denial of any of the above referenced liquor license applications:
Police Inquiry and Investigations (Mounds View Police Department)
From May 21, 2019 to May 21 , 2019 the Mounds View Police Department responded to the
following numbers of calls:
Merwin Liquors 9 calls
Moe’s American Grill 23 calls
Mounds View 15 Theater 45 calls
Speedway (formerly S/A) 98 calls
Mermaid/AmericInn 109 calls
Vino & Stogies 24 calls
Utility Billing Inquiry (City of Mounds View)
Moe’s American Grill has an outstanding water/sewer bill in the amount of $11,109.34. As you may
recall, we had the same situation last year. Staff was in contact with Mr. Moritko as late as
Thursday, June 18th and he is in the process of getting the water/sewer bill paid.
In addition, Moe’s is currently operating at 50 percent capacity due to Covid 19 requirements and
has requested waiving all Liquor License Fees for 2020 given the shut down and only partial
reopening. New Brighton was cited as the model and staff has verified that New Brighton has
waived fees. However, Mr. Moritko did pay the pro-rated Mounds View liquor license fee set by
Council.

MN Department of Revenue Liquor Tax Delinquency – All properties are current to date.
Ramsey County Taxation - All property taxes are current to date.
Fire Inspection (City of Mounds View Fire Inspector)
All properties were inspected for fire code violations. However, with the COVID 19 pandemic,
extensions have been granted to those businesses that were unable to be open for a period of time
or still may even be closed. Staff recommends approving all liquor license with the understanding
that each business that has fire code violations will be responsible correcting them in a reasonable
and timely manner or risk possible license revocation.
Strategic Plan Strategy/Goal: Our licensing ordinance and it requirements along with the renewal
applications listed relate to our Vision Statement; “…welcoming a desirable destination to all ages
and cultures…and a place where residents can live, work and play safely” and by approving the
license renewals the City will “….maintain a positive business climate where businesses want to
locate and remain in Mounds View”.
Financial Impact: None .
Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of license renewals listed in attached Resolution
9281, Exhibit A, contingent upon all license requirements being met. Thus, the Theater would not
be processed until open items are satisfied and Moe’s would not be processed until the water/sewer
bill is paid in full. If renewals are approved, the time period of each license will be July 1, 2020 to
June 30, 2021.

COVID-19
Preparedness
Plan
City of Mounds View COVID-19 Preparedness Plan
The City of Mounds View is committed to providing a safe and healthy workplace for all our
employees. To ensure we have a safe and healthy workplace, we have developed the following
COVID-19 Preparedness Plan in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. All City of Mounds
View employees are responsible for implementing and complying with all aspects of this plan.
Our goal is to mitigate the potential for transmission of COVID-19 in our workplaces, and that
requires full cooperation among employees. Only through this cooperative effort can we
establish and maintain the safety and health of our staff and workplaces.
Management and employees are responsible for implementing and complying with all aspects
of this COVID-19 Preparedness Plan. The City of Mounds View managers and supervisors have
our full support in enforcing the provisions of this policy.
The City recognizes that our employees are our most important assets. We are serious about
safety and health and keeping our employees working at the City. Employee involvement is
essential in developing and implementing a successful COVID-19 Preparedness Plan. We have
involved our employees in this process by seeking ideas, feedback and suggestions for how best
practices can be implemented to maintain the health and safety of everyone. Our Preparedness
Plan follows Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and Minnesota Department of
Health (MDH) guidelines and federal OSHA standards related to COVID-19 and Executive
Order 20-48, and addresses:
• Hygiene and respiratory etiquette;
• Engineering and administrative controls for social distancing;
• Cleaning, disinfecting, decontamination and ventilation;
• Prompt identification and isolation of sick persons;
• Communications and training that will be provided to managers and employees; and
• Management and supervision necessary to ensure effective implementation of the plan.
Screening and Policies for Employees Exhibiting Signs and Symptoms of COVID-19
Employees have been informed of and encouraged to self-monitor for signs and symptoms of
COVID-19. The following policies and procedures are being implemented for employees to
report when they are sick or experiencing the following symptoms:
Fever or chills
Cough
Shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
Fatigue
Muscle or body aches
Headache
New loss of taste or smell
Sore throat
Congestion or runny nose
Nausea or vomiting
Diarrhea
3 | P a g e
COVID-19
Preparedness
Plan
Employees should contact their supervisor if they believe that they are symptomatic before
reporting to their workplace. Supervisors will report to the Human Resources Department names
of any employees reporting symptoms for follow-up. The Human Resources Department will
reach out to them for further instructions. Employees who are at work and begin to experience
symptoms sho uld call their immediate supervisor to make arrangements to be relieved of duty.
Employees will work with the City to help identify other employees they have had close contact
with during the past 14 days. Employees are encouraged to contact their clinic for medical
advice.
The City has implemented leave policies that promote employees staying at home when they are
sick, when household members are sick, or when required by a health care provider to isolate or
quarantine themselves or a member of their household. Employees will need to complete either
a request form for Public Health Emergency Leave or Emergency Paid Sick Leave. If qualified
leave is approved the hours granted will not be deducted from their sick, vacation, comp time,
or flex time. Leave granted under the Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA) will
run consecutively with the Family Medical Leave Act (FMLA). Accommodations for workers
with underlying medical conditions or who have household members with underlying health
conditions ha ve been implemented, which includes allowing employees to telework or work off-
hours in order to avoid coming in contact with other employees.
The City has also implemented a policy for informing workers if they have been exposed to a
person with COVID-19 at their workplace and requiring them to quarantine for the required
amount of time. The City will try to determine which, if any, employees were exposed to
COVID-19 and inform those employees in a timely manner. Those employees should refer to
CDC Guidance for how to conduct a risk assessment of their potential exposure.
Privacy
All employee health information is private data. A limited number of employees are authorized
to access this information and the information is stored on a secured data base. In addition, a
policy has been implemented and communicated to all Supervisors and Managers to protect the
privacy of employees’ health status and health information. Several laws address the privacy of
medical information. To assure compliance with these laws, and to respect employee privacy,
supervisors MAY NOT reveal the name of the person who has reported COVID-19 symptoms
or tested positive/negative other than to those who absolutely need to know. If an employee
would like others to be made aware of their situation, they should ask a coworker to share the
information and not a supervisor or manager. Supervisors and managers should not share this
information under any circumstances, even if it is widely known among a work group(s).
Handwashing
Basic infection prevention measures are being implemented at our workplaces at all times.
Employees are instructed to wash their hands for at least 20 seconds with soap and water
frequently throughout the day, but especially at the beginning and end of their shift, prior to any
mealtimes, and after using the toilet . Workers handling mail, currency, or processing paperwork
from visitors to City offices are instructed to wash their hands after such encounters. All visitors
to City offices will have access to hand-sanitizer dispensers (that use sanitizers of greater than
60% alcohol) located near counters. Visitors at the City will have access to restrooms for
washing of hands. City Council and guests attending Council meetings will have access to hand

COVID-19
Preparedness
Plan
sanitizer prio r to entering Council Chambers. Employees are provided hand sanitizer throughout
the workplace and soap within restrooms to thoroughly wash hands.
Respiratory Etiquette: Cover Your Cough or Sneeze
Employees and visitors are being instructed to cover their mouth and nose with their sleeve or a
tissue when coughing or sneezing and to avoid touching their face, in particular their mouth,
nose and eyes, with their hands. They should dispose of tissues in the trash and wash or sanitize
their hands immediately afterward. Respiratory etiquette will be demonstrated on posters and
supported by making tissues and trash receptacles available to all employees and visitors.
Employees will be reminded of this through this plan as well as through email and supervisor
updates to staff.
Social Distancing
Social distancing is being implemented in the workplace through the following engineering and
administrative controls: Employees are encouraged to drive separately to a job site, remain aware
of staying six-feet away from other employees, and whenever possible wash hands for 20
seconds. The City will also provide hand sanitizer in main entryways and leading into each
department. Department Heads are encouraged and authorized to use flexible work hours and
staggered shifts. Employees and visitors are prohibited from gathering in groups, and from using
other employees’ personal protective equipment, phones, computer equipment, desks, cubicles,
workstations, offices or other personal work tools and equipment. If a piece of equipment is
shared, employee is to properly clean the tool or computer when they are finished with it.
Conference Rooms: Each conference room will be reviewed and chairs will be
removed to indicate a capacity per conference room for meetings following social
distancing guidelines. Per other guidelines, all meetings should be virtual if at all
possible. Even if multiple attendees are in the building. If a conference room is used a
staff member will be assigned to wipe down (disinfect) the surfaces (table and chair
surfaces) before and after each meeting. If any A/V is used those items
(keyboards/mice/remote) should also be wiped down.
Main Counters: Reception counters have or are being enclosed with glass to no longer
allow public access into employee common areas. Visitors to City facilities requiring
pens will receive a pen to keep, in order to eliminate the potential of contamination.
Signage: Signs to promote healthy hygiene habits, as well as communicate that people
with symptoms should not enter city facilities will be provided in multiple languages and
posted at entranceways. Signs will include a phone number for people to call if they need
assistance and cannot enter. Floor signs will be used to indicate appropriate standing
spots while waiting in line for help at counters. Bathroom doors reflect
“Vacant/Occupied” notification.
Facial Coverings: Each employee is required to provide a face mask. Each department
will also be provided with a supply of disposable masks, for use as needed. When guests
are present in the department they will be required to wear a face mask. They will be
provided with a disposable mask if they do not have their own.

From: Don Peterson, Public Works Director
Item Title/Subject: Resolution 9289, Accepting Bids and Awarding a Contract to
Bergerson Caswell, Inc. for Municipal Well No. 6 Rehabilitation
Background:
The City established a maintenance program whereby well, pump, and motors for municipal
wells, would be evaluated and rehabilitated on a seven-year cycle. A longer period of
eleven years was attempted but this period was too lengthy in order to identify minor
problems and correct them before they became major issues. Municipal Well No. 6 had
rehabilitation in 2015 and as part of the Water Treatment Rehabilitation Project was included
in the overall budget.
Discussion:
Staff prepared plans and specifications in-house and solicited quotes from qualified well
contractors. The quote proposal included a base schedule and basic work items (items that
will be performed for the project). Additionally, an alternate schedule was also included to
solicit prices for advanced work items (work that might be required after inspection of the
well and well components).
A request for quote went to seven (7) qualified well contractors, four (4) submitted quotes:
Rank Well Contractor (City, State) Quote Amount*
Low Bergerson Caswell Inc,(Maple Plain, MN) $38,940.00
2 Keys Well Drilling Company (Saint Paul, MN) $40,525.00
3 Thein Well (Spicer MN) $42,525.00
4 Traut Companies (Waite Park, MN) $55,675.00
*The base schedule amount determined the lowest successful quote.
The low quote was submitted by Bergerson Caswell, Inc. of Maple Plain, Minnesota,
rehabilitation for Municipal Well No. 6? has been included in the Water Treatment
Rehabilitation Project, and in the adopted 2020 budget in the amount of $150,000.00 for
Well rehabilitation of wells 5 & 6, and funded under the water enterprise fund (700-4823-
7050).
If awarded, Bergerson Caswell, Inc. will begin scheduling the well rehabilitation work in
conjunction with Shank Constructors, the general contractor for the Water Treatment
Rehabilitation Project. The contract documents require that the work be substantially
complete by July 31, 2020, with final completion on or before August 24, 2020.
Strategic Plan Strategy/Goal: Maintain and Plan for Infrastructure Improvements. Goal
Focus efforts on recruiting good employees and providing an environment to keep them.
The Mounds View Vision
A Thriving Desirable Community
Financial Impact: No Financial Impact to the 2020 Budget, as funding is in the Water
Enterprise fund (700-4823-7050) for this rehabilitation project.
Recommendation:

construction contract with Bergerson Caswell, Inc. for $38,940.00 for rehabilitating Municipal
Well No. 6. Staff further recommends a 20% contingency of $7,788.00 for quantity over-
runs or additional work resulting from unknown conditions discovered during the
rehabilitation. The total budget for well rehabilitation is not to exceed $46,728.00. All
contingency funding would require pre-approval by the Public Works Director following the
