To Approve Consent Agenda Item A as Presented. Council Member Marty noted there were checks for three different beverage vendors and questioned why the City needed three different vendors. Golf Course Manager Longville explained that in order to provide a variety of beer options to its golfers the City needed to have two beer purveyors, one for Budweiser products and one for Miller products. He then indicated that the City has a contract with Coke for a total of three vendors. Council Member Marty noted that Check No. 108537 was for Staffing ala Carte and asked whether the City contracts for setting up the banquet center or if it is done through Elegant Thymes. Finance Director Hansen indicated the set up is done through Elegant Thymes but explained that the fee is for the crew that sets up for the different events and it is easier to contract with them than to use an employee because of the sporadic nature of this type of work. Council Member Marty said he was wondering if Elegant Thymes could pay for this. City Administrator Miller indicated that this cost had always been billed through the City. Finance Director Hansen indicated he could not see any advantage to running it through Elegant Thymes. • Council Member Stigney questioned whether the City was paying the fee rather than Elegant Thymes. Mounds View City Council June 10, 2002 Regular Meeting Page 3 Finance Director Hansen explained that the City receives the fee for the event and pays off the vendors involved and keeps the remaining profit. Council Member Marty pointed out there was a check to Western Bank for a safe deposit box and then questioned why it was needed because City Hall has a safe. Finance Director Hansen agreed that the City does have a safe but said that the safe deposit box contains titles to land owned by the City and he and Mr. Ericson feel the $45.00 per year fee is warranted for the protection of the deeds. Council Member Marty said he felt the records for the City should be kept at City Hall. Finance Director Hansen indicated the City would need to purchase a fire proof cabinet which would be quite costly. Finance Director Hansen indicated that the bill for QWEST was a departure from the norm and said that Check No.108530 would be held until Staff could sort out the charges. Council Member Marty asked whether there had been any charges on City credit cards because he had not seen any on claims for approval. Finance Director Hansen indicated there was a $12.00 charge last month but the credit card company had asked that it not be paid as it was such a small amount. Council Member Stigney asked what the $86.87 mileage and reimbursement expense for City Administrator Miller was for. City Administrator Miller indicated the reimbursement was for the Manager's Conference at Cragun's. She then noted she stayed one day and came back the following day. Ayes - 5 Nays - 0 Motion carried. MOTION/SECOND: Thomas/Quick. To Approve Consent Agenda Item C as Presented. Council Member Marty commented that he had not received any information on this matter and asked where the convenience store was located. Mayor Sonterre noted it is the new ownership group for the Gas `N Splash. Council Member Marty asked if the City would be paid for the outstanding SAC fee. Mounds View City Council June 10, 2002 Regular Meeting Page 4 Community Development Director Ericson indicated that the SAC fee would be added to the tax roll as a special assessment but noted the property owner has an opportunity to pay the fee up front before it is assessed. He further commented that the fee is guaranteed. Ayes - 5 Nays - 0 Motion carried. MOTION/SECOND: Quick/Thomas. To Approve Consent Agenda Item D as Presented. Council Member Marty questioned why the reference to the recent strike was included in the Resolution. City Administrator Miller indicated that anniversary dates were changed by the strike and the reference was for clarification in the future for anyone referring to the Resolution. Council Member Stigney asked if that would apply to all employees that went on strike. City Administrator Miller indicated that all employees that had been on strike would have their anniversary dates changed by the number of days they were on strike. Council Member Stigney asked that the Resolution be read. . Mayor Sonterre read Resolution 5783. Ayes - 5 Nays - 0 Motion carried. MOTION/SECOND: Sonterre/Quick. To Approve Consent Agenda Item E as Presented. Council Member Marty asked whether this was the only individual that applied. Mayor Sonterre indicated that this was the only application received. Council Member Marty commented that Council is normally given the application to review qualifications but he had not received this application. Mayor Sonterre indicated that the applicant had provided a very thorough application and noted he had given the application to Ms. Reed and had received a copy back in his box leading him to believe that all Council Members were copied. Mayor Sonterre noted that Mr. Madsen is a very involved resident with regards to traffic issues and development. He also noted he had spoken to Mr. Madsen on several occasions in an attempt to convince him to serve on the Committee and this time he has agreed. Council Member Marty said that in the future he would like to see the applications and asked if this was the last vacancy on the Commission. Mounds View City Council June 10, 2002 Regular Meeting Page 5 • Mayor Sonterre indicated there was one more vacancy on the Planning Commission. Ayes - 5 Nays - 0 Motion carved. • MOTION/SECOND: Thomas/Quick. To Approve Consent Agenda Item G as Presented. Council Member Marty said he was not sure that workers compensation insurance for Council Members was necessary in light of the need to save money and cut taxes. Council Member Stigney asked what other cities do for their elected officials. Finance Director Hansen indicated he had not done a survey of area cities but noted the City he last worked for covered their elected officials. Council Member Stigney asked whether there had been any workers compensation claims submitted to the City by Council Members. Finance Director Hansen indicated he was not aware of any. City Attorney Riggs indicated that the City's Ordinance requires that the City pay for this insurance and noted an ordinance amendment would be needed if Council determines it does not want to provide worker's compensation insurance for its Council Members. Council Member Thomas asked if there would be legal liability for the City if Council Members were not covered by worker's compensation. City Attorney Riggs explained that worker's compensation shields the City from being sued because it is the only recourse for an employee to recover monies for an injury. Council Member Quick said he wanted to keep the worker's compensation insurance for Council Members. Ayes - 4 Nays - 1(Marty) Motion carried. MOTION/SECOND: Quick/Thomas. To Approve Consent Agenda Item H as Presented. Council Member Stigney questioned whether there was work for the students to do or if the City was simply hiring the students to give them something to do. City Administrator Miller indicated that the students that work for the City assist in the Community Development and Finance Departments and are kept busy. Council Member Stigney asked whether the costs would be charged to the department using the help. Mounds View City Council June 10, 2002 Regular Meeting Page 6 • • City Administrator Miller indicated that the services are currently funded out of central services. Council Member Stigney said he felt the expense should be billed to the department incurring the expense. City Administrator Miller indicated that Staff could make the change to charge the appropriate departments. MOTION/SECOND: Stigney. To Table Resolution 5782 to Allow Time for Changing the Wording. Council Member Thomas indicated that no wording needed to be changed because the funding source is not listed in the Resolution. She then indicated that Council has directed Staff to code the expense to the appropriate department. Council Member Stigney withdrew his motion and asked whether the position had been posted or if it was necessary to do so. City Administrator Miller indicated that the City has a contract with Irondale High School and they bring in the students. Ayes - 5 Nays - 0 Motion carried. MOTION/SECOND: Marty/Stigney. To Approve Consent Agenda Item J as Presented. Council Member Marty indicated he had the same question concerning the strike language as he did for Mr. Atkinson's resolution and that has been answered.

Public Hearing to Consider an Off-sale Intoxicating Liquor license for Keng Young for ABC Liquor at 2840 Highway 10 NE. Mayor Sonterre opened the public hearing at 8:17 p.m. City Administrator Miller indicated that this was published for a public hearing in the May 30, 2002 Focus. She then noted that the police check, utility billing and fire inspections were fine as well as a good standing with the Minnesota Department of Revenue and Staff is recommending approval of this Resolution. Mayor Sonterre closed the public hearing at 8:18 p.m. MOTION/SECOND: Marty/Stigney. To Waive the Reading and Approve Resolution 5787, a Resolution Approving an Intoxicating Liquor License for Keng Young for ABC Liquor at 2840 Highway 10 NE.

Mayor Sonterre noted Council Member Thomas recently had her 30t" birthday. B. Public Hearing to Consider Resolution 5775 Reapproving the Preliminary Plat for the Mermaid Addition Major Subdivision. Mayor Sonterre opened the public hearing at 8:19 p.m. Community Development Director Ericson explained that the preliminary plat approval had expired because the final plat could not be filed due to circumstances beyond the control of the Mermaid.

This item was moved to the July work session agenda. D. Quarterly Report Police Department Deputy Chief Brennan reviewed and explained the two recent critical incidents that happened in the City. Deputy Chief Brennan reviewed the various training that he and other officers had completed and gave an explanation of the active shooter training he recently completed at Hillview. Deputy Chief Brennan indicated that he was unable to attend the FBI training due to the AFSCME strike but had been refunded his tuition and placed on the top of the list for next year. Deputy Chief Brennan indicated the police department had obtained four sets of stop sticks and had been trained to use them in a pursuit situation. Deputy Chief Brennan showed the night vision equipment to Council and explained how it is used. Deputy Chief Brennan indicated that one officer had received training on the handheld Tazer which is a nonlethal weapon and will now be able to train other officers. He also noted the department is working on a policy concerning the use of the Tazer. Deputy Chief Brennan reviewed the grants the police department is currently using and noted that a federal and state grant would be combined to replace body armor at no cost to the City. Deputy Chief Brennan indicated that he had recently been informed that the City would not be receiving the local law enforcement grant because the amount of funds available has been reduced and the City's crime data is not bad enough to qualify. Mounds View City Council June 10, 2002 Regular Meeting Page 9 Deputy Chief Brennan explained that the department had received two new police vehicles and had sold the old vehicles at auction. Deputy Chief Brennan indicated that Ramsey County is transitioning to a new records management system which means the department will need to look at changing its system. He then noted that he would be meeting with the other Ramsey County municipalities to discuss the options. Deputy Chief Brennan indicated he had gotten a quote six months ago from a vendor and it was approximately $65,000 for the software and $10,000 for support. Deputy Chief Brennan indicated a tobacco compliance check had been done recently and every one passed. He then said he attributes that to the new tobacco ordinance and increased awareness. Deputy Chief Brennan indicated that the DARE program recently graduated 108 students. Deputy Chief Brennan indicated that the number of police calls to the Community Center has decreased since the video surveillance system was installed. Deputy Chief Brennan indicated that the AFSCME strike resulted in 52 hours of comp time and 22 hours of overtime for his department. He also indicated that the data backlog had been brought current. Deputy Chief Brennan reviewed the police call information for the last quarter with Council. Deputy Chief Brennan indicated he had drafted a memo concerning the bussing situation for Pinewood and Edgewood schools and noted that there is an officer assigned to the safety task force. Council Member Stigney thanked Deputy Chief Brennan for the memo concerning the bussing situation as he had been receiving calls on the matter. He then asked if the critical crossing locations had been determined. Deputy Chief Brennan indicated that the task force would be working on identifying the critical crossing locations. Council Member Marty asked whether the Chief's vehicle had been repaired and whether Deputy Chief Brennan was driving it. Deputy Chief Brennan indicated he has been driving the new vehicle to break it in. Council Member Marty asked if the unmarked squad was on the streets. Deputy Chief Brennan indicated that the unmarked squad is an administrative vehicle as it is not equipped with all of the features of a patrol vehicle. Mounds View City Council June 10, 2002 Regular Meeting Page 10 Council Member Marty asked whether the Chief's vehicle was a squad. Deputy Chief Brennan indicated the department has three unmarked vehicles, two for administration and one for the detectives. Council Member Marty asked whether the lieutenant or deputy gets a car. Deputy Chief Brennan indicated that there has always been two staff vehicles and one investigator vehicle. Council Member Thomas congratulated the police department on its DARE graduation and noted one brother had participated in the training and another brother graduated with DARE. Mayor Sonterre commented that he was glad there had been a budget savings in the police department in light of the potential costs of a new records system. He then asked for more information on the police call information provided. Deputy Chief Brennan explained that a police call is anything for which an officer has to respond. Mayor Sonterre commented that with arrests and traffic citation figures down it maybe to expect to see increases in other areas. Deputy Chief Brennan indicated he could not say with certainty why tickets were down but said it could be because of an education of the public as he has had officers that set up with radar and those officers have not been ticketing many people. Mayor Sonterre commented that maybe the City should be partnering with neighboring cities to coordinate speed enforcement. E. Review and Approve Job Description for Cable/TV Technician Position City Administrator Miller indicated Staff had met with the cable commission for input concerning the job description and the recommendation was to keep the position as part time 20 hours. She then noted that while that position has been budgeted for 20 hours there had been a consistent 30 hours worked. She further indicated the job description was attached to the staff report for review. City Administrator Miller indicated that the cable operators position has not had an increase since August of 2000 and she would like authorization to create a job description, have it pointed and provide an increase if appropriate. She further commented that there has been a wage associated with this position but there is not a job description to justify that wage. Council Member Marty said he felt that this position should report to the City Administrator not the Assistant City Administrator. Mounds View City Council June 10, 2002 Regular Meeting Page I1 City Administrator Miller indicated that this position is not a director level position and noted that director's report to the City Administrator. Council Member Thomas asked that under essential duties and responsibilities the Commission meetings be added. Mayor Sonterre clarified that there is a cable committee not a cable commission because of varied funding sources and duties for example he does not think that website maintenance fits under franchise fees. He then said he would like to ask that the person filling this position have budgeting experience and said he is not sure it would be appropriate to require that the person do website maintenance. City Administrator Miller indicated that if the position remains at 20 hours per week it may not be possible to ask that the person handle the website maintenance. Mayor Sonterre commented that he feels the City will have a hell of a time finding a person to fill the position based on the skill set and level of experience the position description is asking for. Council Member Thomas noted she felt the same way about the golf course manager position and was proven wrong. t Council Member Stigney indicated he would like the minimum qualifications to require a minimum of two years of audio video school. Mayor Sonterre said he feels that the cable committee needs to be formalized in to a commission by the City. Council Member Marty said he did not feel it was necessary to increase the salary of the cable operator. Mayor Sonterre indicated it may not be necessary to do so but said the position was never given a description upon which to set current or future wages and that is why Staff is seeking authorization to have the position description created. Council Member Stigney asked whether the position, once pointed, would be advertised. City Administrator Miller indicated she would come back to Council with the position description for consideration before advertising for the position. 8. SPECIAL ORDER OF BUSINESS None. Mounds View City Council Regular Meeting 9. REPORTS June 10, 2002 Page 12 Community Development Director Ericson indicated he had received the census information for the City and reviewed the following statistics: 29.% rental housing; 2.2% housing vacancy; 2.9% unemployment; $60,685 median family income; 4.4% families in poverty; and $126,600 as the median home value. He then indicated he intended to compare the census figures from 1990 to the census figures for 2000 in his next quarterly report and would place census information on the website. Director Ericson indicated there would be a meeting at the Community Center at 6:00 p.m. on June 17, 2002 to discuss the County Highway 10 redevelopment and asked any interested residents to attend to provide additional input on the proposed plans. Director Ericson indicated the Planning Commission had recently heard a rezoning request for Red Oak Estates Number 3 and noted it was a two hour meeting and no resolution was reached. He then indicated that the Planning Commission expects to come to resolution on the matter at its June 19, 2002 meeting. Mayor Sonterre asked whether the meeting on June 17, 2002 would contain the same content and format as the one held several weeks ago. Director Ericson indicated he did not want to discourage any residents from attending but noted the material and presentation would be nearly the same as the previous meeting. Finance Director Hansen provided a memo to Council on the finances of the golf course, indicated that the information would require considerable discussion, and recommended the matter be discussed at an upcoming work session. Mayor Sonterre asked that the matter be placed on the July work session agenda. Council Member Marty indicated he would like to know what the legal fees for the lawsuit at the golf course were, what the settlement amount was, where that money went, and how the legal fees were paid. Golf Course Manager Longville indicated the recently resodded green would be ready for play by Tuesday or Wednesday of next week. Golf Course Manager Longville indicated that the Bridges was having a father's day sale to move some excess inventory. He then noted that it maybe necessary to have additional sales throughout the year to move the merchandise. Golf Course Manager Longville indicated that to the best of his knowledge it seems that the damage to the green was due to vandalism. He then indicated he had brought Dr. Donald White and Dr. Brian Horgen out to look at it and they agreed. • Mounds View City Council June 10, 2002 Regular Meeting Page 13 City Attorney Riggs indicated that the answer to the question on compensation for fire department board members is that the statutory authority does allow compensation for board members and the amount is limited only by the articles of incorporation or bylaws and he found nothing in the bylaws limiting the amount. Council Member Thomas reported that session had ended and the City's state aid was not cut as anticipated. She then cautioned everyone to prepare for next year because there will likely be more cuts in order to balance the budget. Council Member Thomas indicated the receipts for the month of May were significantly above average based on information from the Department of Revenue. Mayor Sonterre asked that discussion of the use of the consent agenda be placed on the work session agenda for July. Mayor Sonterre indicated the path in the Mermaid development ends abruptly at a large pine tree and asked Community Development Director Ericson to update Council on the status of the situation. Community Development Director Ericson indicated that the trail ends at the tree and, in order to go around the tree, the trail would need to move onto the business park property and this is the same property owner that was less than cooperative during the Mermaid development. He then indicated that it is unfortunate that the matter could not be resolved quickly so the City could realize a cost savings on the trail as planned. He also indicated that a survey will need to be done to determine an exact legal description of the business park property to be used for the trailway. Mayor Sonterre asked what the options were for the City if the property owner wants to be as cooperative with the City as they have been in the past. Director Ericson indicated he was not sure the matter could be expedited and then said that eminent domain could be utilized but noted the property could be tied up in litigation for years. Council Member Marty asked who owns the pine tree. Director Ericson indicated the pine tree is either on Perkins property or the County Road 10 right-of--way. Council Member Marty suggested it may make better sense to survey the entire section for the trailway along Highway 10 in order to be aware of any similar situations with the trailway extension. Director Ericson indicated there would be similar issues with the topography or the need to skirt ponds. He then said the surveying would need to be done it is just a matter of when. • Mounds View City Council June 10, 2002 Regular Meeting Page 14 Council Member Marty asked Staff to look into the costs to have the entire trail area along Highway 10 surveyed. He then asked if the company drafting the Highway 10 redevelopment plans had someone on staff that could conduct the survey. Council Member Thomas asked why the trailway is not scheduled to be surveyed as part of the redevelopment plan. She then said she thinks doing the survey all at once is a good idea but questions why it was not planned to be done as part of the process. Director Ericson indicated that URS had been asked to prepare the proposed plans and, once the City has approved the plans they would be reviewed for the next step. He further indicated that the survey would be part of the next step. Council Member Quick asked if there was any chance of putting the trail on the right-of--way. Director Ericson indicated that Staff could look into it but noted doing so would entail some significant earthwork and the necessity to create a retaining wall 5 to 8 feet tall. He further indicated that Ramsey County has said it would not approve any plan that altered the storage capacity of the ditch system. Council Member Quick commented that the grade goes down in that area which means it would not pond but flow away from the area. • Director Ericson indicated it is not an issue of dead storage capacity but for handling large amounts of rainfall runoff. Director Ericson indicated he would be making more calls in an attempt to satisfy the requests of Cabbot. Council Member Thomas asked what was being done about the flooding in front of Walgreen's. Director Ericson indicated he had been working with the public works director on the matter as it appears the drainage plan for that development is not working properly. Council Member Thomas indicated she was not sure the pond had the holding capacity necessary because the water was from the edge of the pond out onto the trail and into the parking lot. Director Ericson indicated that Staff would look into the matter further and provide information to Council. Mayor Sonterre reported that he, Mr. Backman and Mr. Ericson attended the New Brighton Mounds View Area Chamber of Commerce business of the year event and Pratt Ordwig was named business of the year. He then indicated that Western Bank and Winn Insurance were presented with the proclamations recently approved by Council. He further indicated that Council Member Quick's wife received an award for her work with and dedication to the schools. Mounds View City Council June 10, 2002 Regular Meeting Page 15 • • Council Member Thomas indicated that Ms. Quick had received a Community Asset Award. Council Member Marty noted he had heard that Carol Frye had passed away. He then said she contributed a lot to the community and will be missed. Council Member Marty indicated he had a Northwest Youth and Family Services meeting on Thursday morning at 7:30 a.m. and asked if anyone would be willing to attend in his place because he needed to be out of town for a family funeral. Mayor Sonterre asked where the meeting was to be held. Council Member Marty indicated the meeting is at the Northwest Youth and Family Services office on Lexington two or three lights south of 694. Director Ericson indicated that Carol was the Executive Director of the New Brighton Mounds View Chamber of Commerce. Mayor Sonterre indicated that Ms. Quick was given the Community Asset Award. Council Member Thomas indicated her name was Jan Quick. 10. APPROVAL OF MINUTES A.
