for parking, if the restriction is lifted.

a policy regarding the release of city resident

consent agenda, minus Item G, and waive the reading
of the resolutions.

Mayor Linke replied that they would not be withhold-
ing information, as any citizen is welcome to come
into City Hall and get the information they would
like off the computer listings and make what copies
they need and pay the appropriate fees. He explained,
however, that the Council had made the decision not
to make the utility billings available as they could
be considered confidential. He explained the request
had come from a business who wanted the City to
prepare a list of mailing labels.
Attorney Meyers stated that allowing access to the
utility billings could be the basis of a lawsuit
against the City, and the information is considered
to be private, and this proposed policy falls within
the data privacy act. 0
Bob Beutel, 2555 Ridge Lane, stated he found it
interesting to have a representative of the St. Paul
Pioneer Press and Dispatch present to bring up such
an issue, when they don't normally choose to attend
the Council meetings and question regular business.

MEMO TO: MAYOR AND CITY COUN�'ll
FROM: CLERK-ADMINTSTRAT �"
DATE: JANUARY 29, 1985
SUBJECT: IRS REGHLATiONS REGARDING TAKE HOME VEHICLES
The Internal Revenue Service has recently promulgated
temporary regulations on how to calculate income tax
liability on certain fringe benefits such as the personal
use of municipal vehicles including police cruisers and
other types of autos.
Staff is presenting this issue to you for two reasons. The
first is that at the current time Police Chief Ramacher
takes home the unmarked investigators car for two reasons.
The first being we currently do not have enough garage space
for safe storage of our police vehicles and secondly, Chief
Ramacher finds himself on an extremely frequent basis having
to respond to incidents which, if he did not have a vehicle
at his immediate disposal, would require that he come to the
City offices and obtain a car prior to appearing at the
scene which would delay his response to incidents
significantly.
The second reason for presenting this issue to you is the
simple fact that Staff, particularly the Police Officers in
the City of Mounds View, feel that these new regulations
will have a significant negative impact upon the ability of
various law enforcement agencies within the State of
Minnesota and the Nation as a whole on their ability to
provide adequate law enforcement services to the public.
The reason we are saying this is that the new regulations
would provide that wherever a Police Officer is entitled to
take home a car, but are not permitted to use it for
personal reasons, and if the situation occurs at least 15
days each year then a benefit of $4.00 per day to the
employee is imputed by the IRS. Various members of the City
Staff are currently aware of the fact that there are several
smaller law enforcement agencies in smaller outstate cities
having minimal storage facilities or such a small staff that
each officer is on duty on an around -the -clock basis. This
regulation would impair these cities' ability to provide
adequate law enforcement. Also, as some of you may know the
State Patrol allows their officers to take their patrol
vehicles home rather than having them commute back and forth
to central garage facilities which would inhibit their
being able to provide a full eight hour shift and cost the
State significantly in having to provide additional
facilities. As you may note from the attachments to this
memorandum, several organizations including the National
League of Cities, Government Finance Officers Association,
and International City Management Association are examining
these new regulations with the intent of taking an official
position with regard to these regulations.
MAYOR AND COUNCIL
JANUARY 29, 1985
PAGE TWO
Staff feels strongly enough about this issue that they would
suggest that the City Council authorize the preparation of a
Resolution for submission to the Internal Revenue Service
and our Federal Legislators indicating to them our strongest
objections regarding these regulations on the basis that it
would inhibit the abilty of various governmental agencies to
provide adequate law enforcement: services in their
jurisdictions.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff would recommend Council
authorization to prepare a resolution objecting to IRS
regulations establishing a separate safe harbor rule for
commuting vehicles under the control of State and Local
Units of Government.

SUBJECT: AMENDMENTS TO RESOI,uTION NO. 1160 OUTLINING THE
POLICY FOR USAGE of THE CITY HALL COMMUNITY ROOM
Attached to this memorandum please find a copy of Resolution
No. 1160 adopted by the City Council on September 1980
outlining the policy for tl:e usage of the City Hall.
Community Room which reflects those changes which are
currently being recommended by Staff to improve our current
practices and provide greater security for the facility.
Essentially, the changes being proposed are the following:
1. An increase in the damage deposit being collected for
the community room, kitchen and keys and a five
dollar retainage from each deposit to compensate the
City for regular cleaning of our carpeting. In the
past the City has intermittently cleaned the
carpeting in the lower level which we feel was a
�— major contributing factor to the deteriorated
condition of the carpeting prior to its replacement.
Staff feels that we should be cleaning the carpeting
at least twice per year to ensure that it has a
longer life span than the carpeting that was
replaced.
2. In the past the regulations regarding the return of
keys to the City Hall provided that a portion of the
damage deposit would be revoked if the keys were not
returned on the first, business day after the use of
the facility. Staff feels that the charge should be
stated more specifically and recommends that it be
10 percent of the damage deposit per day for each day
the keys are not returned.
3. As a further protection for the new carpeting, Staff
is recommending an additional policy be added to the
current list providing that no smoking will be
permitted in the lower level of City Hall except for
the Kitchen Area and Rest Room.
We feel that these modifications to the Usage Policy will
ensure greater protection for Our facilities and provide us
with a means to enforce those policies.
RECOMMENDATION: Staff would recommend Council authorize
preparation of a resolution amending Resolution No. 1160
reflecting the changes proposed by the attached information.

4. 6.10 Grievance Polic ,(1) - Staff would
recommund that the time limit for
filing the next step in the grievance
proresr rr:;ponding to a grievance in
steps 2 through 5 be amended to 10
working days thus allowing a grievant
and the City more opportunity to
consider their desire to undertake the
next step in the grievance process
or knowledgeably respond to a
grievance respectively.
5. 6.12 Doffs Staff would recommend that the
last suntence of this section be
amended to read, "Length of service in
the same position class shall
determina the order of making layoffs
when alt_Zoh-relevant_qua1ification
factors are etcual." This recommenda-
tion is being made on the basis that
it would be consistent with both of
our Union contracts provisions for
layoffs and would allow the City to
detarmino whether or not individuals
are fully qualified for the job rather
than using seniority as the sole means
for determining who would be layed
off.
6. 6.13 Suspension. Staff would recommend
that this section be entirely replaced
by the following, "The Clerk Adminis-
trator may suspend any employee
without pay for disciplinary reasons
with said suspension being affirmed by
resolution of the City Council within
5 working days. Such suspensions
shall not exceed 30 working days in
any calendar year." This recommenda-
tion is being submitted to you on the
basis that circumstances might arise
where the immediate suspension of an
emptoyeu would be appropriate,
however, the current language in this
section would prohibit such suspension
from ocruring without a spor.ial
meeting Of the Council being called
and due to the current provisions of

MEMO To: MAYOR AND CITY ('01"' I
FROM: CLERK-ADMINISTRATO�R-
DATE: JANUARY 30, 1985
SUBJECT: PUBLIC WORKS GARAGE AND STORAGE FACILITIES STUDY
Since the time I started with the City of Mounds View in
September of 1980 and prior to that time, City Councils have
on an infrequent basis and usually at budget time
discussed the need for additional storage and garage
facilities for our Public Works Department.
At one time the City had a sum of money set aside for this
project. This money was transferred to our Sewer Fund to
provide for a contingency account for emergency repairs and
was used within less than one year of the transfer to fund
the cost of the Quincy Street sewer main break which
resulted in our abandoning the sewer lift station on Quincy
Street north of Hillview and directly connecting one of our
force mains into the MWCC force main.
In a recent conversation with Councilmembers Quick and
Blanchard, the need for the improvement and/or expansion of
our Public Works garage and storage facilities was
discussed. I indicated at that time the I felt that,
although Staff would be able to undertake some portions of
an evaluation of our facilties needs, there would come a
time when we would be unable to provide knowledgeable input
due to our lack of knowledge in the field of architecture.
Also, Staff has over the past several years been attempting
to undertake this project but due to its low priority it has
never been started. It was my recommendation during this
discussion that the City consider hiring a student from the
University of Minnesota's School of Architecture or make
arrangements for a class project which would essentially
perform a facilities study including an evaluation of our
current facilities, an identification of the shortfalls in
those facilities, an evaluation of sites available in the
City for additional facilities and/or expansion of current
facilities, and preparation of very general site plans which
would help us in the next step in the decision -making
process, Namely a decision by the City Council to move
forward with some type of a project and determining whether
or not it would be funded with already available municipal
funds or a bond issue.
I have had conversations with a representative of the
University of Minnesota's School of Architecture and been
advised that at the present Llinr they do not have classes
undertake any projects, however, they do have both graduate
and undergraduate students who do free-lance work for
MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
JANUARY 30, 1985

various private and public organizations at a rate from $5
to $15 per hour depending upon the student's qualifications
and the ability of the organization and student to reach an
agreement. We would obtain one of these students by sending
a letter to the School of Architecture outlining our project
and expectations. Should Council be interested in having
such a study done by a student in the School of
Architecture, I would ask your direction as to the total
dollars you would expect to expend for such a study and any
expectations you might have from such study that I have not
already listed.
REQUEST FOR COUNCIL DIRECTION - Staff would request Council
direction as to whether or not the City would contract with
a student of the University of Minnesota School of Architec-
ture to perform a facilities study as outlined above and the
total dollars the Council would desire to expend on such a
project.

on February 7, 1985, a municipal pioneer in the cable
television franchising process in the State of Minnesota,
Thomas J. Curley, Roseville, will relinquish the Chair of
the North Suburban Cable Communications Commission. The
Commission wishes to honor Mr. Curley for his accomplish-
ments by presentation of a volume of letters from individ-
uals such as yourself commending him for his dedication and
work for the last six years in promoting telecommunicot�q,
efforts in the State of Minnesot.oi" Wcr would deeply"appre-
°cfate'-itnif-'yoa could, in whatever form you chose, prepare a
letter to Mr. Curley congratulating him on his remarkable
achievements.
In 1979, Mr. Curley, a Veteran of over 20 years on the
Roseville City Council, volunteered to Chair the Rosey lie
,.Citiapn't.Adv_isory Committee in cabl__�� PmmYnicat�-
Although all cable•companies contao Eed infof'med the City of
Roseville that they would be willing to build a cable com-
munications system for the city by itself, Mr. Curley en-
visioned the need cor developing a telecommunications system.
(that gppld connect all of Roseville's neighbors in an. effort
Mr. Jerry Linke
January 25, 1985
Page 2
,I
to meet all of ,their telecommunications needs for the -fore -
..Seeable fu�4Ly After careful investigation of Municipal
boundaries, particularly considering school district
boundaries, Mr. Curley called a meeting of all ten cities to
investigate the development of a telecommunications system
for the North Suburban area. Never in the history of the
ten cities had all ten Municipal governing bodies worked
together in such an effort. The City of Roseville incurred
the expense of developing the first legal document to create
a joint powers commission of all ten city governments. Mr.
Curley personally promoted the concept among his neighboring
cities, and after two cities delayed in their participation,
he personally appeared before their city councils to request
their participation. In the summer of 1980, the North SUb
urban Cable Communications Commission was formed vjk1L:%{
.Curley ds .i_�;rsk..Chair. After years of meeting at least
monthly, if not more, and constant work by Mr. Curley during
those months on behalf of the North Suburban Commission, the
North Suburban Cable Communications Commission developed a
cable communications system which ranks in technical
sophistication among the top five percent in the nation.
Throughout the tumultuous years of the development of such,_a,
system, Mr. Curley's leadership was steadfast and fair w '
the needs of all ten municipalities were considered and
.fairly met by the North Suburban C&b1 ^.mu& aUQ2&o-
mtp4ioR UAde018 .3R44ersbip. It is estimated that Mr.
Curley has donated well over 1,000 hours in furtherance of
this project.
It is important to note that not one penny of tax
dollars has been spent on the development of the North Sub-
urban Cable Communications System, and the North Suburban
Cable Communications Commission is the most financially
sound cable commission in the State of Minnesota.
Realizing that telecommunications was more than a ten -
city effort, Mr. Curley co-founded and was the first. Chair
of the MinnepaU Association of Cable Television Am�
tgrs JK4C )o. MACTA is a membership organiiation oE
municipalities administering cable communications franchises
in the State of Minnesota. It is the largest such organiza-
tion in the nation meeting the needs of municipalities
dealing with the numerous issues facing such municipalities
in telecommunications.
Although numerous such dedicated public servants no
doubt exist throughout the nation, the North Suburban Cable
Communications Commission is extremely proud to have had as
I

its leader a man with the dedication and vision of Thomas
Curley.

of Water Commissioners dated November 15, 1984 and the subject
agreement.
The agreement basically says that. the St. Paul Waterworks gives the
City of Mounds View permission to make minor improvements to County
Road I in the St. Paul Waterworks right-of-way (Exhibit A is a map
illustrating proposed construction encroachment). Under this
agreement the City agrees to pay fur the reconstruction of the

nature they gave verbal approval and stated that they would follow
up with the paperwork.
RECOMMENDATION: I recommend approval of the proposed permit
agreement between the City of Mounds View and the Board of Water
Commissioners.
