D. Resolution 7821, a Resolution in Support of a Proposed Vikings Stadium in
Arden Hills.
City Administrator Ericson stated this item was discussed at the last regular Council meeting in
August. At time, the; Con ^i1. was net to approve e !'.rt volution c" 12port. This v✓as
continuation of that discurcio . �' County C ='ressing the City's

concerns and the Resolution proposed this evening could be al _ended to adchrss these concerns.

sound wall be constructed for the City and that in no way would the airport be expanded through
the Vikings Stadium development. He also explained that he did not support the tax increase by
Mounds View City Council September 12,2011
Regular Meeting Page 4
supporting the Vikings Stadium.
•
Barbara Haake, 3024 County Road I, thanked the Mayor for his comments this evening. She
indicated she was an avid Vikings fan but did not feel the .5% tax increase was fair to Ramsey
County tax payers. Ms. Haake expressed frustration that Anoka County and Hennepin County
would not be assisting with the tax increase.
Ms. Haake reviewed the proposed plan for the site stating the site would have four entrances and
exits which would affect local traffic on game days. In addition, the site would have a great deal
of impervious surfaces but this could affect the watershed district or Rice Creek. She
recommended the Council add a stipulation that Met Council would be responsible for
maintenance and the charges for the lift station and storm sewer needed for this development. In
addition, she recommended that if any significant changes were made to the Stadium plans that
Mounds View be allowed to withdraw its support.
Mrs. Haake also pointed out two new requirements that should be a part of the resolution:
Ms. Haake stated if the stadium and the redevelopment were to contaminate the City's water
supply, it will be the responsibility of the Vikings development. She indicated the water runoff
from this site would also have to be treated on the TCAAP site.
Mayor Flaherty thanked Ms. Haake for her input this evening.
Greg Larson, 3377 North Snelling Avenue in Arden Hills, explained he served on the Arden •
Hills Council for nine years. He spoke in detail on the stadium resolution noting he opposed the
development. Mr. Larson also opposed the sales tax levy increase as Ramsey County had a
smaller population to cover the great expense. Mr. Larson indicated a referendum bill would be
the only fair way for this to proceed to allow the voting public a voice on the issue.
Mr. Larson then reviewed the overall expense that would be assumed by Ramsey County through
bond sales, issuance expenses and interest over time. He stated the estimated true expense would
be closer to $675 million than $300 million. This burden was too large for Ramsey County and
its residents to bare. He suggested the Council not support the sales tax increase for the stadium
as now was not the time to increase taxes.
Cindy Palm, 2266 Terrace Drive, clarified that the proposed stadium was an entertainment venue
that would be used year round and not just for the Vikings Stadium. She indicated the overall
revenue generated from the development would outweigh the increased tax rate. Ms. Palm stated
the site needed to be developed and would create jobs for the community. She recommended the
Council support ti?, : _oposed
Council Member Hull indicated the responses in the letter from Ramsey County were incredibly
vague. He questioned if any additieeai informatcn was available .a to how l_opert_y values
would lee affected. City Acimii istratoa if_ic C i sLc:'..ed no acic i ional infirnia`Lien was availatle.
Rob Marty, 7627 Spring Lake Road, expressed concern that the airport would be expanded if the
11111
Mounds View City Council September 12,2011
• Regular Meeting Page 5
Vikings were to locate on the TCAAP site. He indicated a moratorium was in place at this time,
but the NFL was a powerful force that MAC could use to push an expansion through. Mr. Marty
added that the Vikings were a Minnesota team and should not be funded by Ramsey County
alone. He recommended the Council take no action and allow Ramsey County to work this out
with the Minnesota Vikings.
Council Member Mueller stated a local business owner, who supports the development but was
unable to attend, questioned how County Road H water runoff would be addressed as his site
floods with each significant rain event. Ms. Haake stated she was unaware of this situation and
recommended that this business owner speak with the Rice Creek Watershed further.
Council Member Stigney did not feel the Council was in any position to pass a Resolution of
Support this evening given the number of new recommendations made this evening. He felt
there was a great deal of information from Ramsey County that was still not available. In
addition, there was no need for the City to pass a Resolution of Support, especially if Arden Hills
was taking no action at this time.
Mayor Flaherty reviewed his proposed changes regarding the sound wall, that the airport remain
unchanged, and that the proposed .5% sales tax was not supported by Council. He then reviewed
Ms. Haake's comments indicating the Council would reserve the right to withdraw support if the
Stadium plans were to change; and that the City would not maintain, fund or assume any liability
• for the sanitary sewer or lift stations for this development.
Finance Director Beer clarified that any connection to the City's sanitary sewer from this site to
the City of Mounds View could only be completed through a joint powers agreement.
Council Member Mueller was in favor of passing a Resolution of Support as it allowed the
Council to give the City a voice on the issue, keeping in mind the interests of the community.
She supported the additional recommendations voiced this evening and felt the .5% sales tax
issue should be the first "Whereas" within the Resolution. This would draw attention to the
matter,noting that the Council does not support the sales tax increase.
Council Member Mueller did not want to see the City sit silent on the issue and felt the needs of
the City should be heard by the County.
Mayor Flaherty agreed stating the Resolution would discuss the conditions for support for the
City of Mounds View.
Council Me1' er Gunn ` ' ; in favor of !.''. Resolutin-. "r Support wi1J the rec01 ':-boded

411 questioned why the Council would take action on this item until further information was

available from Ramsey County.
Mayor Flaherty clarified that he did not support the Vikings stadium, the .5% tax increase, an
expansion of the airport or increased traffic levels on 35W. However, he supported the
revitalization of the northern suburbs, the economic development that would occur in the
community and supported the thousands of construction jobs that would be created through the
development. He wanted to see the largest superfund site in the State cleaned, while passing
along enjoyment to the Vikings fans throughout the State.
Council Member Stigney requested the Resolution be redrafted before the Council takes action
on this issue. City Administrator Ericson stated he could make the proposed changes and allow
the Council to take action later this evening, or this item should be deferred to a future meeting.
Council Member Gunn was in favor of taking action this evening.
Council Member Mueller agreed as she wanted the opinion of the City of Mounds View passed
along to the County before it was too late.
Council Member Hull felt that action on the Resolution should be delayed until further
information was available from Ramsey County.
Council Member Stigney did not feel it was proper for the average resident to provide a billion •
dollar stadium for the Minnesota Vikings.
Mayor Flaherty indicated the Resolution of Support would allow for Mounds View issues and
concerns to be voiced.
MOTION/SECOND: Gunn/Mueller. To Table Resolution 7821, to allow Staff to make

Mayor Flaherty thanked former Mayor Marty for his assistance in bringing the traffic signal and
EVP system to the intersection of Silver Lake Road and County Road H. Without his efforts this
would not be moving forward.
Rob Marty, 7627 Spring Lake Road, stated he had the support of many local residents, the
elementary school, and surrounding properties owners which assisted greatly when taking this
issue to Ramsey County. He indicated a large number of parents were not allowing their children
to bike or walk to the elementary school, due to the poor safety at this intersection. Mr. Marty
thanked all of the residents for their assistance in this matter.
Council Member Gunn requested further information on the agreement with Ramsey County.
Public Works Director DeBar indicated the agreement was standard with Ramsey County
assuming all expenses except maintenance of the poles, which would be split between the City of

Finance Director Beer explained from time to time, as a member of the joint fire department,
there is a need to purchase capital equipment. In the past, equipment certificates have been
issued to assist with these purchases. The Fire Chief was proposing to purchase two new fire
trucks and the Fire Department was looking to issue $1.555 million in equipment certificates of
indebtedness. The City of Blaine would act as the conduit for these bonds. He explained the
