City of Mounds View Staff Report
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Heidi Heller, Planning Associate
Item Title/Subject: Public Hearing, First Reading & Introduction of Ordinance
856, Amending Chapter 1113 by Adding More Permitted
and Conditional Uses to the B-2, Limited Business Zoning
District
Introduction:
City staff received a sign permit application for a new Chinese restaurant that wants to move
into Silver View Plaza. Because of this request, staff decided to discuss increasing the
allowed uses in a B-2 zoning district with the Planning Commission and City Council.
Background:
On December 6, 2010, City staff discussed with the City Council the idea of adding permitted
and conditional uses to the B-2 zoning district, including restaurants. The City Council was
supportive of the idea and directed staff to proceed with preparing a code amendment to make
the changes to the B-2 zoning district. The Planning Commission passed Resolution 936-11,
approving the proposed amendments to the B-2 zoning code on January 5, 2011.
Discussion:
The B-2 zoning designation allows commercial and service oriented businesses such as
laundromats, locksmiths, delicatessens, financial offices, florists, sporting goods and
hardware, to name a few. The property owner, Kraus Anderson, continues to struggle to get
tenants in Silver View Plaza and the City wants to help where it can. City Staff asked the
Planning Commission if they would be open to adding more permitted or conditional uses to
the B-2 zoning code, particularly relating to restaurants. The Planning Commission agreed
that it did not make sense to limit the types of restaurants based on what type of cooking is
done.
The Commission suggested amending the zoning code to allow a “small restaurant, café and
tea room” as a permitted use in a B-2 district. The Code would define a small restaurant as
being limited to 24 seats and no more than 2,000 square feet in size. The Commission also
suggested allowing restaurants with more than 24 seats and more than 2,000 square feet in
floor area in a B-2 zoning district as a conditional use. As noted above, the Council was in
agreement with the code changes as proposed by the Planning Commission, and directed
staff to prepare an ordinance with the amendments as discussed.

City of Mounds View Staff Report
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council

Ken Roberts, Community Development Director
Item Title/Subject: Introduction and First Reading of Ordinance 853, An Ordinance
Amending Title 1000 of the City Code
Introduction:
City staff is requesting Council consideration of an ordinance that would make several
changes to Title 1000 (Building and Development Regulations) of the City Code. Staff has
identified several parts of Title 1000 that the City should change and update.
Background:
On December 6, 2010, the City Council reviewed and discussed possible changes to Title
1000 (Building and Development Regulations). The Council appeared supportive of the
proposed changes and directed staff to proceed with preparing an ordinance to amend the
City Code to put the changes into effect.
Discussion:
Since the Council work session on December 6, 2010, City staff has investigated further
when a property owner must use a licensed contractor to do work or to make
improvements to their property. To summarize, if a contractor is doing work that requires
a building permit, they must have either a State license or a City license. For a City
license, staff ensures that the contractor has liability and worker's compensation
insurance. We have attached the Mounds View City Contractor License Information
handout and a copy of the city contractor license application for your reference. These
provide much detail about City licenses and City contractor licensing requirements.
State residential contractor licenses apply to contractors working on buildings with up to
four units. These licensed contractors must prove competency and complete continuing
education in order to maintain their State license. The Department of Labor and Industry
DOLI) does the licensing of contractors for the State. Chapter 326B of Minnesota State
Statutes defines residential buildings with one to four units as residential real estate and
those with more than four units as a commercial property. The State considers
contractors working on dwellings with more than four units as commercial contractors and
no State contractor license is required. The City of Mounds View licenses these
commercial contractors (MV Code Section 1006.04). As part of this requirement, the City
requires the contractors to provide proof of general liability insurance as outlined in City
Ordinance 853 Staff Report
January 10, 2011
Page 2
Code 1006.04 Subd. 6. Sufficient insurance is critical in the case of an accident or any
unforeseen expense from doing substandard work.
As we noted in December, staff did a thorough review of all of Title 1000 of the City Code.
This review by staff revealed several parts of Title 1000 that the City needs to change and
update. The Code changes are necessary because changes in State regulations,
changes in City practices and policies and a need to help clarify various parts of the Code.
More specifically, the City should update the Code references to State statutes (especially
those related to the electrical and plumbing codes), clarify the practices and penalty
sections, and clarify what projects need building permits and what projects need zoning
permits from the City. Staff also is proposing changes to the Code language about
contractor licensing including the removal of the language that requires City Council
approval of contractor licenses. Since the City Council does not investigate the
contractors or have any detailed information about them, it is unnecessary for the City
Council to approve contractor licenses. This is an administrative task that City staff can
and should perform.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends that the City Council approve the introduction and first reading of
Ordinance 853. This is an ordinance that makes changes to Title 1000 (Building and
Development regulations) of the City Code. These are the same Code changes that Staff
proposed and the Council reviewed in December.

Resource Center Services in 2011
Introduction:
The City of Mounds View and its residents have benefitted from the services provided and
managed by the Greater Metropolitan Housing Corporation’s Housing Resource Center (HRC)
since 2001. By partnering with the Greater Metropolitan Housing Corporation, Mounds View
residents and property owners have one-stop-shop access to a variety of housing, improvement,

by the HRC provide an invaluable resource for the community.
Discussion:
The Housing Resource Center (HRC) is a division of the Greater Metropolitan Housing
Corporation (GMHC) whose stated mission is to preserve, improve and increase affordable
housing for low and moderate income families, as well as to assist communities with housing
revitalization. The HRC provides construction management consultations, program
administration, provides information on a variety of relevant housing programs and coordinates
and manages several grant and loan programs geared toward home improvement and
renovation. In 2007, the HRC agreed to manage the City’s Housing Replacement Program’s
demolition reimbursement component as part of the agreement, at no additional cost to the City.
The fee for the contracted service is $11,000 which is has not increased in many years.
Beginning in 2011, the HRC will also coordinate the administration and underwriting of the City’s
new pilot loan programs intended to provide residents with low or no interest financing for home
improvements, needed renovations, blight elimination and remediation of code violations. The
fee for this additional service is $400 per loan closed plus a monthly processing fee charged by
the servicer, Community Reinvestment Fund (CRF).
Recommendation:
Approve Resolution 7721 which approves a consultant services agreement with the Greater
Metropolitan Housing Corporation for Housing Resource Center and loan administration
services in 2011.

City of Mounds View Staff Report
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Don Peterson, Public Works Supervisor
Item Title/Subject: Resolution 7722, Approving the Purchase of a 2011 Vactor
Sewer Cleaning Truck
Background:
The Public Works Department includes a maintenance program to maintain the 41+
miles of sanitary sewer, 44+ miles of storm sewer, two lift stations, 900+ manholes and
over 1500 storm water catch basins.
The sanitary sewer lines are cleaned annually which is accomplished by using water
pressure to scrub the lines clean of grease, soap and sand build up. The lines are then
televised, if roots are discovered by video inspection they are then cut out using a water
hydraulic root saw. Staff is proud to report that in the past 3 years the City’s sewer lines
have not had a back-up.
Storm sewer lines are cleaned less frequently due to the natural water hydraulics this
function helps to keep the pipes clean. However, the lines need to be cleaned regularly
and can be more time consuming than the sanitary sewer due to the sizes of the pipe
involved.
Additional Background:
The League of Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust has created a sanitary sewer incentive
program that could help cities with aggregate claims of sewer back-ups. In order for the
City of Mounds View to qualify, there are a number of items the City must meet. One of
these is to properly maintain the sanitary sewer lines by cleaning on a regular basis and
visually inspecting the same system on a regular time frame.
To clean the sanitary sewer lines, the City purchased a combination sewer cleaning
truck that uses water to clean the lines and vacuum any debris at the bottom of the
manhole structures. This unit was purchased in 1995, and during the spring, summer
and fall months it is used to clean the lines daily. (Due to the cold winter temperatures,
the sewer cleaning truck is used only as necessary and therefore the program is side
lined until the spring.) Currently there is 12,598 miles on the unit which averages to 839
miles a year. While the mileage is low, the total hours are high at 5,032. This is an
average of 335.5 hours a year or approximately 9.5 hours a day for the seven months a
year it is used. As equipment ages the performance drops and the unit becomes less
reliable. Staff has noticed that the transmission appears to be slipping and the pump
used for jetting is growing weaker.
Discussion:
The Vactor Sewer Cleaning Truck was first budgeted to be replaced in 2009, and again
in the 2010 and 2011 adopted Budgets under the Sanitary Sewer Enterprise Fund (730-
4823-7030). The 2011 Budget currently has $330,000 included under this Fund. Public
Works Staff has evaluated several vendors and obtained quotes for new units from the
State of Minnesota Cooperative Purchasing Venture.
While the cost of a new sewer cleaning unit can be an overwhelming dollar amount at
first appearance, the long term cost of running a unit beyond the 15 year mark has the
potential of costing even more with continued repairs. While the City has been fortunate
to not be impacted by major repairs to date, they are inevitable. By utilizing the State
Contract, the City will be able to take advantage the best costs on products for all
government agencies.
In the summer of 2010, Public Works Staff investigated and operated various
manufacturer units, as well as interviewing the vendors. Staff concluded the Vactor
model 2100+ would be best suited for the Department and will serve the City for the
next 15+ years. The lowest total cost (with the trade in of the old unit) is $296,541.79
plus sales tax and any applicable license fees and was provided by MacQueen
Equipment, Inc. Not included in this cost are two items that staff recommends to be
installed to aid in the operation and maintenance of the unit:
Auto Lube for the Chassis $7,578.00 plus sales tax (To be installed by the
vendor)
Pro-vision camera system $1,255.00 + sales tax (To be installed by staff)
The total cost of the 2011 Vactor 2100 with the above items would be $305,374.79 plus
sales tax and applicable license fees.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends the purchase of a 2011 Vactor 2100 from MacQueen Equipment
along with the installation of the auto lube for the chassis and pro-vision camera system
at a cost of $305,374.79 plus sales tax and any applicable license fees from account
number 730-4823-7030.

City of Mounds View Staff Report
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Don Peterson, Public Works Supervisor
Item Title/Subject: Resolution 7722, Approving the Purchase of a 2011 Vactor
Sewer Cleaning Truck
The Public Works Department includes a maintenance program to maintain the 41+
miles of sanitary sewer, 44+ miles of storm sewer, two lift stations, 900+ manholes and
over 1500 storm water catch basins.
The sanitary sewer lines are cleaned annually which is accomplished by using water
pressure to scrub the lines clean of grease, soap and sand build up. The lines are then
televised, if roots are discovered by video inspection they are then cut out using a water
hydraulic root saw. Staff is proud to report that in the past 3 years the City's sewer lines
have not had a back-up.
Storm sewer lines are cleaned less frequently due to the natural water hydraulics this
function helps to keep the pipes clean. However, the lines need to be cleaned regularly
and can be more time consuming than the sanitary sewer due to the sizes of the pipe
involved.
The League of Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust has created a sanitary sewer incentive
program that could help cities with aggregate claims of sewer back-ups. In order for the
City of Mounds View to qualify, there are a number of items the City must meet. One of
these is to properly maintain the sanitary sewer lines by cleaning on a regular basis and
visually inspecting the same system on a regular time frame.
To clean the sanitary sewer lines, the City purchased a combination sewer cleaning
truck that uses water to clean the lines and vacuum any debris at the bottom of the
manhole structures. This unit was purchased in 1995, and during the spring, summer
and fall months it is used to clean the lines daily. (Due to the cold winter temperatures,
the sewer cleaning truck is used only as necessary and therefore the program is side
lined until the spring.) Currently there is 12,598 miles on the unit which averages to 839
miles a year. While the mileage is low, the total hours are high at 5,032. This is an
average of 335.5 hours a year or approximately 9.5 hours a day for the seven months a
year it is used. As equipment ages the performance drops and the unit becomes less
reliable. Staff has noticed that the transmission appears to be slipping and the pump
used for jetting is growing weaker.
Vactor Report
Jan 10, 2011
Page 2
The Vactor Sewer Cleaning Truck was first budgeted to be replaced in 2009, and again
in the 2010 and 2011 adopted Budgets under the Sanitary Sewer Enterprise Fund (730-
4823-7030). The 2011 Budget currently has $330,000 included under this Fund. Public
Works Staff has evaluated several vendors and obtained quotes for new units from the
State of Minnesota Cooperative Purchasing Venture.
While the cost of a new sewer cleaning unit can be an overwhelming dollar amount at
first appearance, the long term cost of running a unit beyond the 15 year mark has the
potential of costing even more with continued repairs. While the City has been fortunate
to not be impacted by major repairs to date, they are inevitable. By utilizing the State
Contract, the City will be able to take advantage the best costs on products for all
government agencies.
In the summer of 2010, Public Works Staff investigated and operated various
manufacturer units, as well as interviewing the vendors. Staff concluded the Vactor
model 2100+ would be best suited for the Department and will serve the City for the
next 15+ years. The lowest total cost (with the trade in of the old unit) is $296,541.79
plus sales tax and any applicable license fees and was provided by MacQueen
Equipment, Inc. Not included in this cost are two items that staff recommends to be
installed to aid in the operation and maintenance of the unit:
Auto Lube for the Chassis $7,578.00 plus sales tax (To be installed by the
vendor)
Pro -vision camera system $1,255.00 + sales tax (To be installed by staff)
The total cost of the 2011 Vactor 2100 with the above items would be $305,374.79 plus
sales tax and applicable license fees.
Staff recommends the purchase of a 2011 Vactor 2100 from MacQueen Equipment
along with the installation of the auto lube for the chassis and pro -vision camera system
at a cost of $305,374.79 plus sales tax and any applicable license fees from account
number 730-4823-7030.

City of Mounds View Staff Report
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Don Peterson, Public Works Supervisor
Item Title/Subject: Resolution 7723, Approving the Purchase of a 2011 Ford F250
Pickup Truck from Midway Ford
Background/Discussion:
As part of the Public Works Department’s maintenance program, service trucks are purchased for
the specific division that will perform the needed maintenance and inspections required for
infrastructure operation and maintenance. The City Council approved hiring the position of a
Surface Water Maintenance position in 1993. As requirements and duties increased for the Surface
Water Department due to regulatory requirements, it became evident that a dedicated department
vehicle was necessary. When the Golf Course was dissolved, a 1998 Chevrolet pickup (#141) was
transferred to the Surface Water Department and has been in use ever since.
Replacement of the surface water truck has been deferred for five years now. The expenditure first
appeared in the adopted 2006 Budget and has been included every year since.
Discussion:
Staff has received a competitive quote off the State of Minnesota Cooperative Purchasing Venture
for a 2011 F250 4x4 for a cost of $22,424.49 plus sales tax and license fees.
The vehicle will also require warning lights and a winch to be installed. Emergency Automotive
Technologies will install the warning light package at cost of $1,528.63 plus sales tax. Staff will
install the winch and can be purchased from Grainger for $1,497.00 plus sales tax.
The 2011 Budget includes $40,000.00 for a replacement vehicle in 245-4417-7030. The cost for the
above vehicle and options will be $25,545.12 plus sales tax and applicable licenses fees. (Total
costs will be below $30,000.00).
With the purchase of a replacement truck for Surface Water, the 1998 Chevrolet (#141) is proposed
to replace a 1994 Ford F150 pickup (#131) that is currently being utilized by the Buildings and
Grounds and Parks Departments. The displaced 1994 Ford (#131) will be sold at the State auction
with the City Council’s approval of the new 2011 Surface Water truck.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends the approval for the purchase of a 2011 F250 pickup truck from the State of
Minnesota Cooperative Purchasing Venture contract and in addition, the installation of the warning
light package and winch for a cost of $25,545.12 plus sales tax and applicable licenses fees from
account 245-4417-7030.

1. Resolution 7706, Adopting the 2011 Tax Levy. 4
5
Finance Director Beer stated on September 15th the Council approved a preliminary tax levy. 6
After numerous discussions, a final 2011 tax levy and budget were before the Councilfor7
approval. 8
9
Mayor Flaherty opened the public hearing at 7:07 p.m. 10
11
Brian Amundsen, 3048 Wooddale Drive, indicated the charter does allow for an increaseand12
questioned if the 3% increase was for the general fund or for all funds. Finance DirectorBeer13
explained the 3% increase was an increase over the tax levy of 2010 with the funds going intothe14
general fund. 15
16
Mr. Amundsen expressed concern about the decreases in LGA. He encouraged the Councilto17
view LGA as a bonus and not a given. He noted the State had to make a great deal of cuts dueto18
the economic climate. Finance Director Beer indicated the budget for 2011 does not includeany19
LGA funds. 20
21
Mr. Amundsen expressed his disappointed in the Council’s lack of leadership concerningthe22
budget. He felt there was a lack of new ideas brought forward and he has not seen a prioritylist23
of services necessary to residents. He urged the Council to deny the budget and speakfurther24
about the critical services that need to be provided by the City. Mr. Amundsen recommendedthe25
Council lead staff in this area and reduce the levy increase to 1% or 2%. 26
27
Mayor Flaherty explained $484,000 was taken out of the 2011 budget due to theadditional28
decreases in LGA funds. He felt this showed a great deal of leadership and initiative onthe29
Council’s behalf. He understood that residents did not want to see an increase in the tax levy, 30
and noted there has not been an increase in five years. The Council has been leading theway31
through this process and tough decisions have been made to sustain the budget going intothe32
future. He noted the Council and Staff worked diligently to reduce the need to use theLevy33
Reduction Fund. 34
35
Council Member Mueller added that staff has reduced spending and capital purchase in 2011. 36
She explained many purchases have been postponed. She felt the Council reviewed allthe37
numbers thoroughly and must provide essential services to the residents. She indicatedthe38
Council was working to minimize spending and eliminate all expenditures that werenot39
absolutely essential. 40
41
Hearing no additional public input, Mayor Flaherty closed the public hearing at 7:17 p.m. 42
43
Mayor Flaherty questioned when the openings in the police department would be filled. Police44
Chief Kinney stated the written scores have been received and estimated the departmentwould45
Mounds View City Council December 13, 2010

need an additional two months to fill this position. 1
2
Mayor Flaherty indicated he would be in favor of reducing the levy to 2% due to thereductions3
found in the budget over the last several weeks. 4
5
AMENDMENT MOTION/SECOND: Flaherty/Hull. To increase the tax levy by 2%. 6
7
Council Member Hull questioned how much the tax levy increase would impact theaverage8
house in Mounds View. Finance Director Beer explained the impact would amountto9
approximately $20 for the average household. 10
11
Council Member Mueller indicated the contingency fund was eliminated with the 2011 budget. 12
The recent snow event would draw from these funds in 2010. She questioned how theCity13
would be affected if this continued into 2011. Finance Director Beer indicated the Cityhas14
drawn from the contingency fund in the past. However, with this fund being eliminated, staff15
would bring forward a resolution to request a fund transfer. 16
17
Council Member Mueller requested further information from staff on the number ofhours18
worked by the public works department to clear the streets and parks after a major snow storm. 19
Public Works Director DeBar estimated his staff spent 70+ hours clearing streets and parkinglots20
and another 40+ hours in the parks. 21
22
Mayor Flaherty recommended the 2% levy increase over the 3% levy increase due to the factthat23
the City has recognized savings since originally discussing the preliminary budget in September. 24
25
Council Member Stigney questioned if the 2% levy increase could be sustained. He feltthe26
Council should be working harder to make reductions to assure that the decreases canbe27
sustained into the future. The Council could then work to further reduce the costs to theCity28
while utilizing the levy reduction fund. 29
30
FRIENDLY AMENDMENT: Stigney: To increase the tax levy 0%. The friendlyamendment31
failed for lack of a second. 32
33
Council Member Gunn questioned if the 2% tax levy was acceptable to staff. FinanceDirector34
Beer indicated the goals of the Council should be reflected upon. The State had a $6.2billion35
deficit and additional market value homestead credits could be lost. However, the Councilwas36
very diligent on spending. 37
38
Council Member Stigney stated he would support the motion for a 2% tax levy increase andnot39
the originally suggested 3% tax levy increase. 40

H. Resolution 7717, Relating to Issuance of the City’s MultifamilyHousing1
Revenue Bonds (Select Senior Living of Mounds View Project), Series20102
as Temporary Bonds and Authorizing the Issuance of MultifamilyHousing3
Revenue Refunding Bonds (Select Senior Living of Mounds View Project), 4
Series 2011 and the Execution of Various Related Documents. 5
6
Finance Director Beer explained the Council began the bonding process with SelectSenior7
Living in July by passing Resolution 7672 which authorized the issuance of housingrevenue8
bonds. At this time, Select Senior Living was requesting temporary bonds which wouldallow9
the market place to clear the over abundance of revenue bonds. Staff recommended approvalof10
the resolution as submitted. 11
12
Scott McLendan, Oppenheimer, explained Select Senior Living was facing several concernswith13
the timing of this bond issuance. The market was flooded with housing revenue bonds atthis14
time due to the Build America Program. These excess bonds have created a glut in themarket15
which needed to clear before a favorable bond rate could be guaranteed. The temporaryissuance16
of the $14 million in bonds was a positive option for the developer to continue with the project. 17
He indicated the bonds would then be refunded at a more favorable rate in the near future. Mr. 18
McLendan further reviewed bond market specifications with the Council. 19
20
Council Member Mueller questioned if the stock market had any bearing on the bond rating. Mr. 21
McLendan stated the stock market had no effect on the bond rating but when there wasmore22
confidence on the stock market, funds moved from bonds to stocks. 23
24
Council Member Mueller asked what impact an extension of the Build America bondswould25
have on the proposed housing revenue bonds. Mr. McLendan indicated he did not anticipatean26
extension of the program. However, there was always a chance and if extended moreissuers27
would be moving to the bond market during third and fourth quarter of 2011. 28
29
Council Member Mueller questioned if the City was at any additional risk by issuingtemporary30
bonds that would then need to be refunded in the future. Mr. McLendan stated there wasno31
more risk than the original request to issue bonds as Mounds View was acting as the conduitand32
was not fiduciarily responsible for these bonds. Jenny Bolton, Kennedy & Graven, agreedthere33
was no difference in this bond issuance as the borrower was responsible for the paymentson34
these bonds. 35
36
Council Member Hull asked why the request was before the Council and if the project wasstill37
on schedule. Joe Larson, Select Senior Living developer, explained the bond allocation wasdue38
tomorrow at noon and if not completed the project would be done. 39
40
Mayor Flaherty questioned if Oppenheimer was underwriting the temporary bonds. Mr. 41
McLendan stated a private purchaser was funding the entire $14 million in temporary bonds. 42
43
Mayor Flaherty commended Mr. Larson for working so diligently on this project. He feltthe44
project would greatly benefit the City of Mounds View. 45

Council Member Mueller asked how much Mr. Larson had invested in the project to date. Mr. 2
Larson stated he has invested approximately $500,000 in the project to date. Mr. McLendan3
added that Oppenheimer supported the project 100% and would underwrite the project toassure4
that the temporary bonds were refunded. Investors were supportive of the project oncebond5
rates were more favorable. 6
7
Council Member Stigney requested that Oppenheimer keep the Council apprised of thebond8
situation. Mr. McLendan stated the temporary bonds had a 20 day notice to the City andthe9
Council would be informed of the bond refunding timeline. 10

C. Resolution 7708, Approving the Eligibility List and AuthorizingPromotion20

22
Police Chief Kinney reviewed a report recommending Officer Ben Zender be promoted toPolice23
Sergeant. The position became vacant when Mike Kampa retired in July. The PoliceCivil24
Service Commission met and reviewed the promotional process from internal candidates. The25
interview process was discussed in detail. He recommended the promotion of Officer Zender, as26
noted by the Civil Service Commission to Sergeant. 27
28
Council Member Mueller questioned why Step 3 was chosen for Officer Zender. PoliceChief29
Kinney explained Step 3 was the first step above his current level of pay. 30

Documents for 2011 City Roof Replacement Projects. 37
38
Public Works Director DeBar indicated the City has been addressing roofing issues sincethis39
past summer. All facilities were inspected by INSPEC, Inc. through a recently approvedRoof40
Management Plan. Detailed recommendations were made by INSPEC through the plan basedon41
each facility. 42

Public Works Director DeBar further reviewed the scope of work and which buildingswere44
recommended to have roof work completed. City Hall was slated for a partial roof replacement, 45
Mounds View City Council December 13, 2010
Regular Meeting Page 9
several well buildings, along with a complete replacement of the Community Center roof. The1
estimated expense for the recommended roof replacements is $339,720. He recommendedthe2
Council proceed with the roof replacements and authorize INSPEC to design andpreparing3
bidding documents. The City had $250,000 in the 2011 budget for the roof replacements. While4
the numbers were off by $90,000, staff felt INSPEC’s preliminary numbers were quite high. 5
6
Council Member Hull asked what would happen if the bids come in over $250,000. Public7
Works Director DeBar stated he would have to work with Finance Director Beer afterreceiving8
the plans and specifications from INSPEC. 9
10
Council Member Mueller questioned if staff could complete the plans and specifications in-11
house. Public Works Director DeBar indicated the consulting costs were necessary as this wasa12
public bid item. He noted there were not a lot of firms that complete this type of work. 13
14
Council Member Stigney asked what the 20 year warranty covered for the roof replacement. 15
Public Works Director DeBar explained the 60 mm membrane would have a 20 year warranty. 16
He indicated he could provide the Council with further information within the design plans. 17
18
Mayor Flaherty clarified that the City had $250,000 for this project in total and not just forCity19
Hall. He questioned if the water tower revitalization surplus could be used on this project. 20
Finance Director Beer indicated the funds to cover the water tower revitalization expensewere21
from water funds and could only be used for the roof replacements on the wells. PublicWorks22
Director DeBar reiterated that this would be a public bid and the climate was highlycompetitive23
at this time. If the bids returned over and above $250,000 the Council could revisit the optionsor24
bid alternates of the project. 25
26
Mr. Amundsen expressed concern with INSPEC bidding highly on these items. He questionedif27
the roof life would be longer than 20 years and if any of the roofs currently had a warranty. 28
Public Works Director DeBar indicated bids typically had an inflated estimate as thiswould29
allow the numbers to come down in final design. He indicated the Community Center had a1030
year life and the 10 years had elapsed. Staff had confidence in INSPEC and their abilityto31
complete the work on behalf of the City. 32

the Council deemed necessary. He indicated that all other City employee contracts were “just9
cause” and a change would alter the employment environment in the City. 10
