MOTION/SECOND: Quick/Blanchard to Adopt Resolution No. 4368 Awarding the Sale of the City's General Obligation Water Revenue Refunding Bonds, Series 1993A and Providing for Their Issuance VOTE: 5 ayes 0 nays Motion Carried B. Samantha Orduno, City Administrator, presented a brief review of the Proposed Regional Senior Center. Orduno explained how the idea of a Regional Senior Center had begun and that Mounds View was .approached by Fridley and New Brighton as was Spring Lake Park and all four cities began discussing the possibility of a regional senior center. Orduno further reviewed the charge of the Regional Senior Center Task Force . who 'put many hours into this project and attended many meetings regarding the Proposed Regional Senior Center. Orduno introduced Lulu Mounds View City Council ~gular Meeting Page Four May 10, 1993 Coury who was a representative on the Task Force from the City of Mounds View. Orduno reviewed the proposed sites for the Senior Center as well as the operational costs, staffing, and costs of building the. center. Orduno further stated that a referendum would not be held on the Proposed Regional Senior Center. Councilmember Rickaby stated that at other meetings regarding the Proposed Regional Senior Center she recommended that a group be contracted to provide the services of governing the Senior Center. Mayor Linke clarified that Councilmember Rickaby is suggesting hiring a company to manage the Senior Center. Councilmember Rickaby stated that proposed salaries are high and the reason given for that is pay equity high that contracting an outside company to run the Center would be less costly. Mayor Linke stated that the Council will be ,passing a resolution and will add comments to the resolution that the City feels should be studied. Julie Trude, Knollwood Drive, stated that she watched the informational • meeting on Proposed Regional .Senior Center was that it would be a good service. Ms. Trude said she was curious to see the number of seniors who were opposed to the Center and wondered if it was because they had not been involved in the process or if it was because there would be annual membership fees. Ms. .Trude asked what the membership fee would be. Mary Saarion stated that out of 80 seniors in attendance at the informational meeting there were only 3 to 4 seniors who were opposed to the Regional Senior Center at Mounds View's public hearing. Julie Trude stated that many seniors are out of two for five months of the year and wouldn't be using the Center so would not like to pay an annual membership fee. Samantha Orduno, City Adminstrator, stated that the fee would be a pay-as-you-go fee. Mary Saarion stated that the fee is much like that of Park and Recreational Program Fees. Memberships would be for special privileges. Ms. Trude suggested that a goal should be set regarding the membership fee. Julie Trude asked if a survey of the cities who have a senior center . -have been contacted and asked how successful the center has been and what percentage of their seniors actively use it. Mounds View City Council ~gular Meeting Page Five May 10, 1993 Orduno stated there are no other Regional Senior Centers in the area. Fridley is using a remodeled school as a Senior Center. Most cities have community centers that include a senior center. Julie Trude stated that she can't justify an $87,00 expenditure for 1700 seniors to use. This will cost approximately $50 per senior and if there aren't that many interested seniors. Mayor Linke stated that the percentage was higher when Edgewood was open as a senior center, now many of those go to Shoreview. Mayor Linke further stated that when the random survey of 500 people was conducted, Mounds View had the highest percentage of seniors who would use the Center of all four cities (81%). Julie Trude asked if a postcard could be sent to the seniors in Mounds View asking how many would use the center. Ms. Trude stated that she would feel much better as a taxpayer supporting something that the seniors of Mounds View would use rather than a Center Fridl seniors would use but Mounds View would subsidize. Out. of 100 seniors surveyed for each city the percentages were as follows: ,New Brighton 67% for, 20% opposed; Spring .Lake Park 1% for . and Mounds View 81% strongly favored and 11% opposed,. Julie Trude stated that she doesn't want to begrudge the seniors, but will be asking in the near future if something similar could not be arranged for the teens in the City. Trude stated that there is a lot. of vandalism in the City and-there are a lot of 10 - 15 year old home with no supervision and maybe this would be a way of directing their energy level. Ms. Trude stated she is neither for or against the senior center. ey Arthur Schwadeke, 2661 Lake Court. Circle, stated that he strongly opposes the senior center and is embarrassed that this is being discussed. Mr. Schwadeke stated that it is his own fault if he didn't learn through the years to get involved in recreational things. Mr. Schwadeke stated that his friends are also not in favor of the center and that he nor any of the friends he has were contacted when the 100 seniors were called for the survey. Mr. Schwadeke stated that, in his opinion, there is a small number of greedy people who want to get their fair share. Mr. Schwadeke stated that the money could be spent far better for the youth or teenagers of Mounds View. Again, Mr. Schwadeke stated that he did not mind the City spending his tax money wisely, but he stated he does not think this is a wise expenditure. Duane McCarty, 8060 Long Lake Road, stated that he had gone through the consultants.' study, the presentation material and original information sheet and finds three different recommendations and three different sets of figures. Mr. McCarty stated, that in his opinion, the consultant's Mounds View City Council Page Six ~gular Meeting May 10, 1993 estimates for building costs at $74.00 per square foot are rather low. There is no land acquisition costs included in the study. Estimates for acquiring the shopping center only include renovation costs. The consultant didn't include compliance with the American Disabilities Act, energy audits or the possibility of asbestos. Mr. McCarty stated that the asbestos budget at the court house could fund the entire project . Orduno stated that the ADA was addressed at the Blaine meeting. Irregardless of new or old site, compliance to the ADA could and would be incorporated into the building structure. McCarty stated that the furnishings for the building are also not included in the estimate. Furnishings were specifically excluded.' • McCarty stated that the furnishings would run a minimum of 13% of total costs. Engineering costs were not included in the study and this would be approximately 10%. Operation and maintenance long term is estimated on the info sheet tonight at $598,000 and the consultant estimates it at $498,000. Orduno stated that estimated fees from membership fees and special classes would be approximately $100,000. McCarty stated that. there would be security .problems, soundproofing modular spaces and electrical costs. Orduno stated that the soft costs of $2,000,000 would be raised by some fund raising and contributions from businesses and organizations in the City. This amount is factored into the overall costs. McCarty stated that the architectural costs are low. Mayor Linke stated that the cities may put in for CDBG. Spring Lake Park and Fridley. receive allotment funds to accomplish projects. Connie Bernardi, 6840 Seivert in Fridley, stated that the Metropolitan Council Open Space Commission denied the use of the Rice Creek Trail Site for the use of the Senior Center. Orduno stated that the full Met Council has final jurisdiction over denial and approval and there is also a land trade that can be discussed. . Bernardi further stated that the initial proposal was rejected 7 to one regarding the land trade and ,the next vote was to deny use of it completely and that was also a 7 to 1 vote. Orduno stated that the open space committee has changed•hands-twice and . explained that if the primary site is denied, then the secondary site is Mounds View City Council Page Seven ~gular Meeting May 10, 1993 Rice Creek. At the time of the report, there was a purchase agreement with the Church on the Rock~and there was discussion of what the property would sell for. The Task Force could not get information, a sale was pending and there was a potential litigation. Orduno stated that if Rice Creek becomes the primary site there will be additional costs. There will be additional cost for acquiring the property and costs to New Brighton because they would be giving up tax property. Ed Smith, 5149 Rainbow Lane, wrote an editorial in the paper stating his opposition to the Proposed Regional Senior Center. Perhaps the City should send out postcards asking about the senior center and the people could send it back with their water bills. Let the people decide. No one on Rainbow Lane was contacted during the survey of • the 100 people. Mr. Smith stated if the Council trsants the Senior Center they should take the money out of their own pockets. Ernie Gustafson, 2525 County Road I, haven't heard the figures lately on the proposed cost, but whatever it is going to cost that number can be doubled. Mr. Gustafson stated that the four city managers should not be on the board to manage the senior center, that the seniors should manage it. Mr. Gustafson stated that there are plenty • of qualified seniors to run the center as they have run businesses in the past. The Council shouldn't have the total right but should let the people vote on it as well as vote on the golf course. The City spends too much of the taxpayers money for fun .and not enough on business. Mayor Linke stated that a lot of business was brought into the City in 1984 through the use of TTF funds. Recreation money does not come out of the taxpayers pockets, the general fund, but from user fees . Mr. Gustafson stated that there should be a vote on .the Senior Center but if the City Council approves it the basement would be left vacant and his recommendation is if it is going to be constructed use the basement as it is the cheapest part of the building. Mr. Gustafson stated that it looks to him that the Council is buying a Lincoln or Cadillac when the citizens cannot even afford a second- hand bicycle. Mr. Frits, 8072 Long Lake Road, stated the people are tired of being taxed. Ruth White, 2917 County Road I, stated she has already expressed her opinion on the Senior Center. Ms. White cannot understand why the City doesn't have a referendum. Ms. White stated that 500 residents in four cities is a drop in the bucket. White was never contacted and she contacted many seniors and they were not contacted either. Ms. White stated that these surveys are geared to asking the Mounds View City Council Page Eight ~gular Meeting - May 10, 1993 questions and getting the .answers they want to hear. Ms. White stated that she feels that this is .a duplication of services for seniors.. Ramsey County provides services, all churches, American Legion, VFW, and ARP also provide services. Orduno stated that in terms of the random sample survey, stated that an adequate sampling for the Gallop poll is 4,000. Decision Resources is an excellent company and when the number to be surveyed was picked it was statistically valid. Mayor Linke polled the seniors in terms of those who would use the center and those who would not. .The number was .equally split. Mayor Linke asked how many seniors use the services provided by the City and attend the senior trips. Only two of the opposed use the services, the rest that are opposed do not use the services. At this time Mayor Linke presented a resolution of appreciation and commendation to Mr. Jerry Skelly for his participation on the Regional Senior Center Task Force and announced that Charlynn Robertson, another member of the Task Force, who was not able to attend the meeting tonight because of a death in her family but her plaque and award would be forwarded to her. • .Councilmember Quick asked what is driving the costs of salaries up. Orduno explained that current salaries are driving the salary costs up and pay equity is driving the cost up. Orduno stated that pay equity is a state law that says that female dominated positions cannot be paid consistently below male dominated positions. Pay equity tends to draw the female dominated classes salaries upward. Comparisons on the salaries must be made internally. Values are determined and compared to a job with the same values or similar values. Councilmember Quick also asked Orduno to explain steps. Orduno explained steps in salaries.. The City has a give step pay program. Fridley and New Brighton have five steps also. The steps are entry level, Steps 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5. Mr. McCarty is concerned about the Council getting into a cost situation that would be very .extreme once the final numbers would come in. Councilmember Blanchard asked how many paid employees would be on the governing board. Orduno stated, as proposed, there would be four administrative city managers, but no one would be paid for being on the board. • Mounds View City Council Page Nine ~gular Meeting May 10, 1993 Orduno stated that in summary the issues are contracting for programming and services, salaries, square foot cost for construction, property acquisition for Rice Creek site, issue of asbestos and ADA compliance, estimate on furnishings, engineering costs, issue of a referendum, governance in terms of the seniors, finish the basement and substantiate the total costs. C. Ric Minetor, Director of Public Works/City Engineer, .reviewed Staff Report No. 93-505C regarding summer water restrictions. Minetor stated that the restrictions recommended are the same as in the past few years, no sprinkling between-noon and 4:00 p.m. and the odd/even rule at other times.
