Council Member Quick reminded Council Members that, in the event of a disaster within the City, Council Members need to report to City Hall and not the site of the disaster. Mayor Sonterre asked Chief Clark if Mr. Brick could come to a Council meeting to update Council and residents on the emergency procedures for the City. Chief Clark told Council he would ask Mr. Brick to come to a meeting and noted he would provide a new book on emergency procedures. Council Member Marty expressed concern that the last four golf course meetings were cancelled. He then asked that a meeting be scheduled prior to the next regularly scheduled meeting. A golf course meeting was scheduled for June 4, 2001 at 5:00 p.m. Community Development Director Ericson reported that Minnesota Institute of Public Health would be installing a four (4) foot tall retaining wall along the pond. He explained that Rice Creek Watershed had determined there was an issue with the easement to cover the pond and rather than go through the process required Minnesota Institute of Public Health determined it would be easier to install the retaining wall now. Director Ericson then clarified that this i retaining wall was not the same type of retaining wall that would have been required had the building been pushed back on the lot. The retaining wall to be installed will be four (4) feet tall and the retaining wall that would have been required in order to push the building back on the to would have needed to be ten (10) feet tall. Community Development Director Ericson reported that he had received many telephone calls concerning the removal of trees at the Pinewood Elementary School site. He explained that the representative from Perkins & Will had indicated that the parking lot had been reconfigured and suggested that only one tree would be lost. Director Ericson explained that the Planning Commission had received a removals plan that indicated that nine trees would be removed because they were either in the way of the building expansion or the parking lot expansion. He then apologized that Council did not receive a copy of the removals plan for review. t Director Ericson explained that he was not sure why the tree removal was misrepresented to Council other than it was a mistake. He then indicated that Staff takes some of the blame for not making sure Council had all the plans. He also noted he had sent a letter to residents explaining the misunderstanding. Director Ericson noted there was a safety meeting with residents and it seems the anger surrounding the tree loss has subsided. He noted that all trees lost would be replaced and said the City Forester is working with the school district's landscape architect to make sure the trees • replaced fit City requirements. He then asked for Council concerns and comments. Mounds View City Council May 14, 2001 Regular Meeting Page 3 • Council Member Thomas apologized to Director Ericson if it seemed she was lashing out and said that concern is not even close to the right word to use for how she feels on this matter. She noted she was aware of the original plans before the Planning Commission and feels that the removal of trees was completely misrepresented by Perkins & Will. She noted they have gone ahead with a plan that was not approved by Council and stated she would like to know what kind of recourse the City has. She noted the tape of the meeting could be viewed but it is her recollection that when she asked the question of how many trees would be removed that the Perkins & Will representative indicated the plan had been changed and only one tree would be lost. She then stated she would like Council to consider requiring that mature trees be used to replace those lost and would like to review the report of the City Forester. Council Member Marty indicated his agreement with Council Member Thomas and stated he would like to review the report from the City Forester. He then indicated he feels the City needs to address the situation as Council did not agree to what occurred at the site. Council Member Thomas indicated she may want to consider having a representative from Perkins & Will come to a Council meeting to attempt to explain what happened. Mayor Sonterre reiterated that Council as a whole would like to see a representative from Perkins & Will explain the situation. Council Member Quick asked if Director Ericson had spoken to Perkins & Will concerning the issue. Director Ericson indicated he had spoken to Sandi Gay who had informed him that she misspoke. Council Member Quick stated he would like large trees used to replace those lost and would like to require the school district to provide double the number of trees removed. Director Ericson asked if Council would like to approve the landscaping plan. It was the consent of Council to require the recommendation of the forester to come before Council for approval of the landscape plan and to request that a representative of Perkins & Will come to a Council meeting to explain the situation. Council Member Stigney asked for clarification of the error. Director Ericson explained that there was a removals plan for the trees to be removed and said he is not sure why Ms. Gay told Council that only one tree would be removed.. Council Member Stigney asked if there is a place to put trees on the site. Director Ericson explained there is not space in the location where the trees were removed but • there is space in other locations on the school site. Mounds View City Council May 14, 2001 Regular Meeting Page 4 1r~ u • Council Member Marty noted he had asked at that meeting if the traffic enforcement issues could be addressed and then asked Chief Clark about the issues raised such as u-turns, speeding, and parking violations. Chief Clark indicated officers were asked to concentrate on the area of the school during school start and release times and randomly the rest of the day. He noted residents had called him to thank him for the enforcement as it was very noticeable. He then explained that the area was hit heavy for four days and will continue to be randomly patrolled. He further explained that very few citations for violations were issued as the extra patrol in the area was a deterrent. Council Member Marty asked Chief Clark to report back in two weeks to see if the extra patrol is still making a difference in the area. Council Member Quick noted that at the last meeting Council had asked for an environmental impact study for the Greenfield pond. He then noted, for Council information, the study will cost taxpayers between $5,000 and $10,000. Council Member Marty asked if Assistant to the City Administrator Reed was aware of any discussions concerning the ponding issue with Rice Creek Watershed District. Assistant to the City Administrator Reed indicated she was not aware of any discussions concerning the ponding issue. Council Member Stigney stated it was his understanding that Rice Creek Watershed District would pay to conduct the study. Council Member Quick acknowledged that Rice Creek Watershed District would pay for the study but clarified taxpayers would still be funding the study. 6. APPROVAL OF MINUTES A. Monday, Apri123, 2001 City Council Minutes. Council Member Thomas requested the following change: On Page 3, Paragraph 5 insert the following phrase after the word "feel": "this was a Council business issue. It is a staff supply item under the administrator's control. Delete the rest of the paragraph. MOTION/SECOND: Marty/Thomas. To Approve the Monday, Apri123, 2001, City Council Minutes with the Requested Change. Ayes - 5 Nays - 0 Motion carried. • Mounds View City Council May 14, 2001 Regular Meeting Page 5 7. PUBLIC INPUT Jennifer Dunnell of 5279 Sunnyside Road expressed concern with the Highway H2 reconstruction plan. She indicated the road is a busy road used by commercial vehicles, buses and many people and stated she did not feel it was fair to assess the residents along H2 for the majority of the cost of the reconstruction. Ms. Dunnell stated she felt the residents at the apartment complex should have to pay the same rate as the homeowners. She also stated she felt that the owners of the movie complex should have to pay more than the home owners as the movie complex brings in hundreds of vehicles that use the road and homeowners usually have only two cars. Ms. Dunnell expressed concern for increased truck traffic while the road is being widened. Ms. Dunnell indicated she did not feel the survey concerning the reconstruction was accurate because the City only has results from half of the residents the assessment will affect. Ms. Dunnell asked if there was something more the City could have done to inform residents of the proposed reconstruction as notices were sent out to the name of the person the City thought was living there not to the address so any homes that had new owners were not notified. Mayor Sonterre indicated he would ask Public Works Director Ulrich to contact Ms. Dunnell i concerning the survey results. He then explained that there were public meetings held before and after the survey was mailed for resident input. Ms. Dunnell asked if she would be assessed for the reconstruction of H2 and Sunnyside Road as she has a corner lot. Mayor Sonterre indicated she would be assessed for the road on which she has frontage. Mayor Sonterre asked Ms. Dunnell to write her name and telephone number in the book so that he could have Mr. Ulrich contact her to discuss the matter. Council Member Thomas stated she felt Council should look into the matter as she thought there was a question as to the funding mechanism for the reconstruction. Council Member Marty suggested looking into the matter to bring facts and figures back up to Council for discussion as he does not recall that Council came to a final conclusion. Council Member Stigney suggested, if there is still an opportunity, surveying the residents that did not return a survey. Council Member Quick noted that everything Council is discussing on this matter is speculative and suggested getting the details for further discussion. Mounds View City Council May 14, 2001 Regular Meeting Page 6 • '~J • David Jahnke of 8428 Eastwood Road expressed concern that the City is attempting to sell a piece of property for $50,000 when he feels it should be valued closer to $100,000. Mr. Parrish explained that the property was purchased for $125,000 with the existing structure and the assessed value of the unimproved lot is $33,000. He then noted that after considering the options the City determined it would be better to sell the lot for $50,000 rather than holding onto the property for possible future development. Mayor Sonterre indicated the City tried to market the property for some time but based on the size and condition of the property the City has chosen to sell at a lower price. Mr. Jahnke expressed concern that the City would buy something for $125,000 anticipating a recovery and then sell it for a lesser price. He then asked what criteria the City uses for determining what properties to purchase. Council Member Quick noted that the property in question was a blight property in the City and there were numerous problems at the property involving the police. He then indicated he felt it was in the City's best interest to purchase the property in order to eliminate the eyesore and problems for the City. Mr. Jahnke asked if the plans to buy various properties were part of a program or what criterion is used. Mr. Parrish clarified that the house behind Simon's Sport Shop was purchased six (6) months ago for $125,000 on the basis that is in an area that the City has identified as a redevelopment area. Mayor Sonterre stated the City can take apro-active approach to redevelopment issues which will benefit the City with future development. Mr. Jahnke expressed concern for the article in the St. Paul paper on long term plans for the golf course. Mayor Sonterre indicated that at the last Council meeting Council gave direction to the City Administrator and the City Attorney to investigate how the pay was distributed without Council approval. He then noted he preferred not to comment on the matter any further until receiving comments back from Staff. Mr. Jahnke voiced his disappointment over the TV/VCR scenario. Council Member Marty clarified that the blue house property can be used for a business that will fit into the neighborhood as the last two proposed projects for that property created a lot of neighborhood unrest and ill will. Mounds View City Council May 14, 2001 Regular Meeting Page 7 • Mr. Jahnke stated he had no problem with the comments of Council Member Marty but stated that tax increment goes into pool and the City gets nothing for a long time. Council Member Quick explained the City gets twenty-two percent (22%) of the taxes and the remainder goes into a pool that is used for many different things within the City. He also noted that TIF districts do have a life span and expire at some point. Mr. Jahnke warned Council to be careful when dealing with the contractor who wants to sell the land behind Super America. Council Member Thomas told Mr. Jahnke that the City is looking at future use each time a property is offered for sale. She then noted the City has turned down properties to purchase as they do not fit City purposes. Council Member Quick stated it is much cheaper to buy piece of property from a willing seller than one who is not willing. Council Member Stigney noted that when the City looked at selling the corner property in the past the City has not been able to market it but that was when there was a state trunk highway. He then stated he feels now that it is a county highway access is different and the property should be sold as a market value property not on a wholesale basis. He also noted he has a concern with leaving the property in a TIF district. 8. UNFINISHED BUSINESS None. 9. CONSENT AGENDA A. Approve Just and Correct Claims B. Licenses for Approval C.

May 14, 2001 Page 8 MOTION/SECOND: Quick/Stigney. To Approve Consent Agenda Items A, B, C, E, F, and I as Presented. Ayes - 5 Nays - 0 Motion carried. Council Member Quick asked Police Chief Clark for the dollar amount required to purchase the firearms. Chief Clark indicated he did not have the information with him but stated he would obtain the information before the end of the meeting. Council Member Stigney asked if grant money would be used in the purchase of the firearms. Chief Clark indicated that part of the purchase price comes from the City and the other part of the purchase price comes from sales of unclaimed property from the property room. Council Member Stigney stated he was under the impression Mr. Pinkerton was going to build a facility for housing Alzheimer's disease. Mr. Parrish indicated he was not sure of Mr. Pinkerton's intentions other than to say he was aware that Mr. Pinkerton has make the property available for purchase by the National Handicap Housing Institute. He then noted Council had previously approved a 40-unit assisted living and Alzheimer's facility. He further noted that the National Handicap Housing Institute had contacted him and asked if there were any sites available for assisted living/affordable living housing and was given information on the Pinkerton property. Council Member Stigney asked if the assisted living project was going to proceed or what the status of the project was. Council Member Marty noted the project was approved two years ago and last year Mr. Pinkerton was given cone-year extension. Mr. Parrish noted he has not spoken to Mr. Pinkerton and said he can only assume that the project is dead. Council Member Stigney stated he would like to know when the one-year extension expires and what Mr. Pinkerton plans to do with the property. Community Development Director Ericson indicated that he is not sure what Mr. Pinkerton's plans are. He noted the City has a check that was written out to the City when the City approved the extension contingent on the review of plans. He further noted Staff is still waiting for plans and has no idea if Mr. Pinkerton intends to pursue the project. Mounds View City Council May 14, 2001 Regular Meeting Page 9 Council Member Thomas stated that if the extension was granted on the basis of receiving plans for approval, and those plans have not been received, then no extension was granted. Council Member Marty noted the Planning Commission had asked for the plans to come back before it, because commissioners had new concerns about those plans. He then noted the one- year extension was granted and maybe about to expire. Director Ericson stated he thought the extension would expire in August or September and noted the Resolution granted aone-year extension subject to providing the plans which means the extension was granted but if Mr. Pinkerton wished to build the project he needed to come in with plans. Council Member Stigney asked whether the facility that the National Handicap Housing Institute intended to build would be a rental facility. Mr. Parrish indicated it was his understanding that it would be rental property but deferred to Mr. Bjerkstadt, the President of the National Handicap Housing Institute who indicated it would be rental property. Council Member Stigney stated that when the City dealt with Mr. Pinkerton previously there was contention from residents to adding more rental housing in Mounds View. He noted Mounds View is not short on any quota for rental housing. He noted the letter, as he reads it, is asking that Council write a letter of support for the rental housing. He then noted he sympathizes with disabled and needy people but does not feel Mounds View needs any more rental housing. Mr. Bjerkstadt stated the reason he was at the meeting with this request is they are proposing to build a 20-unit building in Mounds View that would be similar to buildings in Champlin, Brooklyn Park, and New Brighton. He noted there is a waiting list of over 200 people who are looking for housing. He then explained they are always looking for federal funds because of the severe demand for housing. He further explained that they review the waiting list and determine where the demand is coming from and, in this case, the demand is coming from Mounds View. Council Member Quick asked if the building would be designed specifically for certain types of handicaps. Mr. Bjerkstadt explained the building would be designed for people who are physically disabled and able to live alone. Council Member Quick clarified that the building will be designed for a specific niche group with handicapped accessible features and not just a regular rental building. MOTION/SECOND: Quick/Marty. To Approve Consent Agenda Item G as Presented. Council Member Marty stated lie felt the location of the property is one of the most ideal properties in the City for handicapped housing as there are sidewalks, a Super America, and a Mounds View City Council May 14, 2001 Regular Meeting Page 10 trail around Silverview Pond making the area very accessible for residents with handicaps to get around safely. Council Member Stigney asked how the building would affect the tax base. Mr. Parrish noted this project would not be in a TIF district and stated he assumed the property tax structure would be similar to that of multiple housing. The tax rate would be multiple family Class 4d taxing. He then noted the plan is very conceptual at this point and noted the National Handicap Housing Institute is looking for a letter of support at this time. Council Member Stigney stated he felt the City should concentrate on making some other use of the property. Council Member Thomas noted that most of the time she would agree with Council Member Stigney but stated she believes this property location is a particularly useful place for this type of housing. She then noted that the taxing should be similar to other facilities in that area. Ayes - 4 Nays - 1 (Stigney). Motion carried. Council Member Stigney asked why Council did not receive all the applications submitted for the position on the Police Civil Service Commission. Mayor Sonterre stated he had received a total of four applications and submitted Ms. Milewski Shay as his recommendation. Council Member Marty indicated that, in the past, Council has seen all the applications. Mayor Sonterre noted he had submitted the recommendation as per his interpretation of the Code. MOTION/SECOND: Stigney/Marty. To Require that the Mayor Provide Copies of all of the Applications he Received with his Recommendation for Police Civil Service Commission before Accepting that Recommendation. City Attorney Riggs indicated that filling the position on the Police Civil Service Commission is based on the recommendation of the Mayor. He indicated there isn't much guidance as to what is required to be supplied with the Mayor's recommendation. He indicated that, if Council wishes to change the procedure, Council would need to amend the ordinance. He further indicated that the Mayor's recommendation, as submitted, was appropriate. Council Member Thomas stated she would like to compare applications in order to see why the Mayor made this particular recommendation. . Council Member Stigney asked if Council's request to see the other applications was inappropriate. Mounds View City Council May 14, 2001 Regular Meeting Page 11 . City Attorney Riggs indicated it was not inappropriate for Council to request to see the other applications. Council Member Marty stated he would like to see the other applications. Council Member Thomas asked if it would be possible to get copies made during the evening and vote on the matter later in the meeting. Council Member Stigney stated he would like to see the same procedure going forward. City Attorney Riggs indicated the City would need to amend the ordinance. Council Member Marty asked that the change to the ordinance be brought to a work session for discussion. Council Member Thomas stated she did not see the need to amend the ordinance. City Attorney Riggs indicated that the Code would supersede any motion made by Council. Council Member Quick asked if Council would deal with this individual tonight without seeing the other applications and direct staff to deal with the ordinance amendment. It was the consent of Council to require the Mayor to provide copies of the other applications before voting on the recommendation. Ayes - 4 Nays - 1 (Sonterre) Motion carried. Mayor Sonterre asked Assistant to the City Administrator Reed to obtain copies of the other applications before the end of the meeting noting the matter would be heard as Council Business Item lOF. Chief Clark indicated that the dollar amount needed for the purchase of the firearms was $9,480.00. MOTION/SECOND: Marty/Thomas.

Public Hearing for the Introduction and First Reading of Ordinance 679, an Ordinance Amending Chapter 1008 of the Mounds View Municipal Code Entitled "Signs and Billboards". Mounds View City Council May 14, 2001 Regular Meeting Page 12 Community Development Director Ericson explained that Ordinance 679 is an Ordinance amending Chapter 1008 of the Code for signs. He explained the Planning Commission had put a lot of time and energy into the proposed changes. Director Ericson noted that the new Code is not a large departure from what is currently on the books but noted there were significant changes to the structure of the Code as it was not readable, was confusing, hard to enforce, and hard to interpret Director Ericson noted that Council had discussed the proposed changes at the work session and noted his report included a copy of the current sign Code and the proposed sign Code. Director Ericson proposed one change to the sign code to allow that rather than requiring Council approval of more than one temporary sign per year staff be allowed to issue a permit for the temporary sign. Council Member Thomas commended the Planning Commission for its efforts on the sign Code. She then questioned if the temporary sign change takes a temporary sign out of the variance seetion and puts it into Code or if the matter is not addressed at all. Director Ericson noted that instead of the current language in the Code requiring Council approval the language would require that a permit be obtained from Staff. Council Member Thomas asked why more than one temporary permit per year would not be handled as a variance. Director Ericson explained that a variance would require establishing a hardship and wanting two temporary signs rather than one would not be considered a hardship. Council Member Marty left the room at 8:33 p.m. Mayor Sonterre opened the public hearing at 8:36 p.m. Mayor Sonterre closed the public hearing at 8:36 p.m. MOTION/SECOND: Thomas/Quick.

Council Member Marty returned at 8:38 p.m. Community Development Director Ericson noted he would explain Council Business Items lOB and l OC together but noted they needed to be voted on separately. Community Development Director Ericson explained that this is a request by Steve Redfield to split off a small portion of land on Spring Lake Road and combine it with a vacated part of Pleasant View Drive to create an 18,236 square-foot buildable lot. He noted that when Pleasant View Drive went in there was an extra highway easement dedicated which is not needed and does not match up with properties to the north or south. Director Ericson explained that Mr. Redfield has worked out an arrangement to purchase the area under the easement that is requested for vacation. Director Ericson noted that both remaining lots would satisfy the minimum lot size requirements. He noted there is a park dedication fee of $794.00 required which is based on five percent (5%) of the land value of the area being created for the lot. Director Ericson indicated that Staff and the Planning Commission recommend approval and noted that the City Attorney needed to verify the data in the Registered Land Survey. Mayor Sonterre opened the public hearing at 8:44 p.m. Mayor Sonterre closed the public hearing at 8:44 p.m. MOTION/SECOND: Quick/Marty.

Ayes - 5 Nays - 0 Motion carried. E. Resolution 5565, a Resolution Approving the Joint Powers Agreement for Criminal Justice Data Network (CJDN) with the Department of Public Safety. Chief Clark explained this matter was put on Council's agenda because all the initials make it too confusing for the Consent Agenda. He then noted the State is currently updating all computer systems at all police departments and said that the old system goes off line on June 30, 2001 and the new system will be used exclusively from that point on. Council Member Marty asked whether the date should be changed on Page 2 of the agreement to reflect the date it was approved by Council. City Attorney Riggs indicated that the agreement would not become effective until the State signs it and so the date of Council approval is not an issue. MOTION/SECOND: Marty/Thomas.

Mayor 5onterre stated he appreciated the qualities of each of the individuals that applied and stated he does not disparage any individual but stands behind his recommendation to Council that Mari Milewski Shay be appointed to the Police Civil Service Commission. Council Member Stigney asked whether there had been any further discussions concerning expanding the Police Civil Service Commission from three members to five members. Mayor Sonterre explained that state statutes only allow three members. City Attorney Riggs confirmed Mayor Sonterre's statement concerning state statutes.
