MEMO TO: Mayor & City Council
FROM: Finance Director -Treasurer Brayer
'A'rE: October Z, 1985
RE: REQUEST FOR AUTHORIZATION TO HIRE A FULL-TIME
ACCOUNT!NC CLERK
The Adopted 1986 Budget provides for the hiring of a full-time
accounting clerk to he funded from the General, Water and Sever
Funds. During 1985 the Finance Department nad a part-time
accounting clerk who was recently granted a leave of absence.
Staff proposes that the full-time accounting clerk be hired as
soon as possible. staff's original intention was to hire a
part-time accounting clerk to fill in duriny the leave of absence
of the present part-time accounting clerk. However, on further
reflection staff has concluded that it would be more cost
effective to hire the foil -time accounting clerk now. Our
rationale is that the hiring of a part-time accounting clerk for
the remai:ider of 1985 would irvelve considerable staff time in
recruitment and sibsequently training for a position which would
be only filled for a short period of time. After January 1, 1986
the recruitment process for a full-time accounting clerk would
begin and subsequent training of that individual would take
place. Since sufficient monies remain in the 1985 Budget at
l:vels adequate to allow a full-time accounting clerk to begin
employment during 1985 it seems more cost effective to hire that
individual now rather than go through two recruitment And
subsequent training processes.
RECUMMENDATIUN:
Staff proposes that the part-time accounting clerk's position be
aboli+:hed eince the 1966 Budget provides for a full-time
pcsition. Further staff prcposes Lhat a full-time accounting
clerk's position be established and author:zat:on be •givcn to
advertise foc that position ai so,>n as possiDle.

SUBJECT: CONGRESSIONAL ACTION TO REGULATE STORM WATER
DISCHARGES
AttaCneo please rind a memorandum from Mr. Juei Jamnik,
Legislative Counsel for the League of Minnesota Cities
outlining recent developments in the Clean Water Act of 1972
which could result in the Federal regulation of every
menmade discharge point entering into open waters in the
United States. Such regulations could include municipal
storm sewer systems discharg,ng into open waters such as
Rice Creek. The City of Mounds View has discharge permits
from the EPA for each of our water treatment plants which
discharge into our storm sewers and from there into Rice
Creek. Du r.ng the interim between John Johnson and Steve
Thatcher I was responsible for filing some of tt.ese applica-
tion:., which I can assure you are both voluminous and
complicated to the extreme requiring water samples be '_aken
by a testing firm in the Twin Cities to determine exactl,,
what chemicals are being added to the system by the
discharge. Also, the City pays a fee for the permit.
I would have to agree with Mr. Jamnik that to regulate storm
sewer discharges is both infeasible and not within the
spirit of the Clean Water Act and should be discouraged.
Therefore, I would recommend that the City Council au LiWCize
me to corre::pond with Senator Durenberger and
Representatives Stanglund and Oberstar indicating our
diafavcr with s,.ch a propcsal.

9e: Possible Congressional Action to Pegulate Storm Water Discharges
Recent developments regarding the wastewater treatment construction
grant program and the charging of fees for pollution permits hale
subjects of prior Action Alerts. I would like to thank you for
concern and prompt responses to these past action alerts. I also
sincerely wish I did not have to sand the following action alert to you,
but once again we are faced with a proposal that could severely impact
Minnesota's cities. As bizarre as it may sound, the following
is actually ur.der consideration.
Tne Clear Water Act of 1972 requires the Federa: Environmevital
Protection Agency to issue a permit and control polluticn levels
enttiing the wate^s of the United States from every manmade dise_harg0
point. So fa:,, the EPA has concentrated on the the g po a on
pro which include municipal sewage systems and waste water
generated by industrial prcceuses.
Now, in response to a federal court ruling, EPA has saic it will require
storm water collection systems to obtain a permit similar to those
issued to waste treatment facilities and major industrial plants, even
though by EPA's own estimate the overwhelming majority of storm systeaa
are relatively a minor pollution concern and deserve low priority
attention.
Given the limited resources available for water pollution cleanup and
the enormcus number of separa.e storm water permits required, doggedly
pursuing a policy of requiring permit applications and issuing cleanup
requirements for storm water discharges threatens to make a mockery of
the Clean Water Act itself.
1 B3 un.vurs.ty avenum oast, st Pa.1 main,r•;0t,1 551 01 (61 2) 2275600
EPA estimates that there are more than one million separate storm water
discharge points within the country's 366 major urban areas. EPA has
given municipal agencies two years to complete a complex and expensive
permit application for each dcher .a point which Includes detailed
sampling and laboratory test proce isuses
The cost of merely completing the applications easily could exceed $8.5
•1 . tra.� the Federal Government 1 n• ♦e
Yllilui,j vi � vuuvi, ,Tivrr. ed_rs. p_a.._
contribute to water pollution treatment facilities construction over the
next three years. The enormity of the problem for cities across the
nation strains credibility. Kansas City, Missouri's, waste treatment
system requires just 12 permits, and annual monitoring costs $160,000.
The city estimates it will need to apply for 20,000 storm water
permits, at a cost of more than $90 miilionl
The cost impact will vary for each of' Minnesota's cities, depending on
how many identifiable storm sewer discharge points there are in the
community. The Minnesota Pollution Control Agency wou:d issue the
permits. There is the possibility of issuing one or several permits to
cover all the cities in the state, as well as modifying the proposal to
mitigate the consequences of requiring permits but no League staff
member is confident thut the EPA r•:;ulations can be written to ensure
that Minnesota's cities will not be faced with another expansive federal
regulatory system.
Cities should also know that the issuance of .reguiatory permits is tilt
first step to requiring "best management practices" or treatment of
storm water discharges to eliminate any possible pollution. Cities
contemplating separation of their storm and sanitary sewer systems may
want to ask their Congressmen whether the systems should be separ"ted or
whether the city should seek federal funds to increase their treatmert
facility so that all storm water can be treatei.
I know it is difficult to take such an absurd proposal sFriously. Ma m
potentially affected parties whom I have talked to have thought the
Proposal totally insane and were amused to think that Congress might
actually do something so damaging to the gcali of the Clean Water Act.
I am afraid, however, that unless city officials speak up, and loudly,
that there is a very real possibility that Congress will allow the
permitting to begin.
It seems clear to League staff that the best solution to this Froblei is
to admit that the proposal to permit, regulate, monitor and/or treat
storm sewer discharges is not feasible at this time. The costs and
difficulties of applying the permit proQess to intermittent storm water
discharges are only now coming into focus. Congress must be requested
to act to ensure that the letter of th! Clean Water Act does not
overwhelm the spirit of the law -- to clean up the waters of the United
States effectively, efficiently and in a manner which addresses the
highest priority pollution control needs first.
What City Officials Should Do
Congress is currently completing work on a revision of the Clean Water
Act. House and Senate members are meeting in Conference Committee to
put the finishing touches on a bill. Minnesota is lucky to have three
members of our Congressional delegation on the Conference Committee:
Oc D- D--renberger, FenreRentAt.Ive James Obsratar, and
Representative Arlan Stangeland.
Call or write Senator Durenberger and Representatives Oberstai and
Stangeland and ask tnem to suspend the permit requirements for separate
municipal storm sewers pending a better understanding of the task, the
need and the best approaches to controlling the storm water discharges
that need to be controlled. It makes little sense to start taking money
Out of the pockets of city residents if we don't know the extent of the
p-oblem or its sulution. City officials should also ask that our
Conferees continue to push hard for Minnesota's fair share of waste
water treatment constriction grant funds. There is a proposal to
change the allocation formula which would result in Minnesota losing
millions of dollars in grant funds to other states.

ning regardiny Spring Lake. I have attached two letters of cor-
respondence which outline some of my discussions with Mr. Jim
Tolaas from Ramsey County and Mr. Duane Sjodin from the Depart-
ment of Natural Resources.
As can be noted, Mr. Tolaas has indicated that the county would
be willing, at no cost to the City, to continue monitoring the
oxygen levels in Spring Lake and place aeration equipment in the
lake should a freeze out become inevitable. He further indicated
that the portable aeration system that had been used in the past
at Silver Lake in North St. Paul would be available as they have
secured a permanent system. It appears that the only difficulty
Mr.Tolaas envisions is that the well house on the east side of
the lake may need some electrical upgrading, and he further stat-
ed that the county would assume this responsibility.
On a more permanent basis, I have spoken with Duane Sjodin, Reg-
ional Manager for the Department of Fisheries whose agency is
responsible for matching grants for permanent aeration systems.
All of the dollars have been allocated for the 1985-86 fiscal
year but he has indicated that he will forward me grant applica-
tions for the fiscal year commencing July 1, 19F6. The City of
No. St. Paul has entered into a joint funding program with the
DNR for an aeration system costinr, $40,000 which wiil he
installad this fail at Silver Lake. This is an extremely expen-
sive system due to Lhe fact 'hat they are placing all of the
equipnent underground. Based on the research I have done with
Toro Company, I ter) we could place an adequ.ite aeration system
for Spring Lake, based on its size for Si5,000 - $10,000.
I will be reviewing the grant applications when they are received
and will submit a formal report to the Council once the exact
figures of a permanent 3era`ion system are known. It would ap-
pear to me that some type of permanent aeration system would be a
logical direction, and I feel that we should have no problem get-
ting matching funds from the cities of Spring Lake Park and Fria -
ley and the Ramsey and Anoka Counties, as everyone would benefit
from a project of this nature. Th3 major obstacle that I'm aware
of with the grant submission will oe thac we will need a perman-
ent boat access which could be funded with a L.A.N.C.O.N. grant.
In conclusion, it appears that Ramsey County will be providing a
portable aeration system for the winter of 1985-86 at no cost to
the City and that staffwill pursue a permanent solution to
receive a grant for a year round aeration system. Should you
have any questions on statt's direction on this issue, feel frep
to contact myself directly at ext. 420.

This is ;ust a short note to follow up on our phone conversation last week
regarding the City of Mounds View's Interest In utilizing the Ramsey County
portable aeration system for Spring Lake. According to the information the
City has been able to glean, Spring Lake was last stocked In 1983 by the DNR.
The City residents have received great benefit from Spring Lake as a recres-
tlonal reso•irce from both a fishing, aquatics, and boating perspective. To
ensure that the fishing is sainrained at its current high level, the City
would like to formally request use of the aeration equipment and continued
monitoting of the oxygen levels of the lake during the 1985-86 winter sesstn.
Spring Lake last froze not In the winter of 1962, and based on recant history,
it appears that tle take freezes out every third year, which vouid placa 1985-
86 as a potential freeze -out year. The fish population is currently grod,
with Sane fish in the 1 - 2 pound range. I understand from our phone conver-
sation, thr.t the portab:a aeration egatpnenr that was used at Silver lake in
North St. Paul In prior years would he available for the Clty's use as Silver
Lake will be receiving a permanent aeration system.
You lnd:catad C:::l:.g our phone conversation that you do nor envision any pro-
blems with the county aeration equ.pment being available and the, the County
would provide this service at no cost to our residents. The only problem that
You indicated was Ph,�ther or not the proper electrical connections were avail-
able at the well house. You stated that you would see that the electrical
connections were brought up to code at County expense.
I have also conracted and spoke with Duane Sjodin from the DMR and he 1s for-
warding to my attention the necessary grant fares to develop a permanent "ra-
tion system at ether Lase Lot Lt. iututc rears. As can be noted by the
attached memorandum, Councllmember Maske, the City of Mounds View, is suppor-
tive of this project, and we appreciate the efforts Rusey County are willing
to sake to ulnta!n the high quality of water at Spring Lake.

MEMO TO: Mounds View City Council
FROM: Bruce K. Anderson, Director
Parks, Recreation and Forestry
DATE: October 3, 1985
RE: Purchase of turf mowing equipment
.:_-.,-uu .._. for • 72 inch rntary mower
J CaIL Ueve1Vi/CV i.iu ni,e a:iaa�oaav
rwh, heater. snow blower, and power broom attachments as
well as a turf sweeper for the park naintenance division. the
specifications were sent to eight perspective bidders on August
28, 1985. Bids were opened and read aloud at 10:30 a.m. on
Thursday, September 19, 1985. There were two firms that submit-
ted proposals for mowing and turf sweeper equipment as specified
with actually four different mowers bid. The bid proposals were
from Kortum Sales, representing John Deere equipment and MTI Dis-
tributing Co., representing Toro equipment.
Staff has budgeted $16,229 for the purchase of tha two units in
the 1985 capital improvement budget, based on a $9,434 stipend
for the 72 inch mower and $6,795 for the turf sweeper. The two
mowing units that would meet the specifications are the John
Deere Model 930 with cab, sweeper and snow blower attachment at a
total bid price of $18,521. There was a less trade-in allowance
of $8,258.3U for one of the existing Toro Groundsmasters making
for a total bid of $10,262.70. MTI Distributing Company bid
three different mowing units with the low bid for a Groundsmaster
217D, 72 inch, cab, broom and snow blower of $12,911 less $3,000
for trade-in allowance, or $9,911. The low bid from MTI Distri-
buting Company is a diesel unit and does not meet the specifica-
tions, and staff would recommend rejecting the. low bid of MT1
DIF.tributing Company for the diesel unit as we currently do not
h-ve diesel fuel readily available and it would not be cost
effective to purchase and locate a diesel tank for one mowing
unit, as well as the difficulties of utilizing diesel equipment
in the winter months. The second Toro unit which wou`.d be com-
parable to our existing unity, as well as comparable to the John
Deere unit, is $14,351 less the $3,000 trade-'.n allowance or
$11,351. MTI Distributing company also bid a demonstrator, a
Groundsmaster 327, 72 inch with a total cost of $13,554 leis
$3,000 or $10,554.
We currently have two Toro Grourdsmaster units, a 1976 and a
1977, both with over 5,000 hours, which is becoming extremely
high. Most mowing units are traded or r^placed at 3,000 - 4,000
mewing hours. It should be noted that the City hen rebuilt and
purchased new decks for the Toro units so the hcurs don't accur-
ately reflect the current condition of the equipment.
A general department meeting was held with City Mechanic Schmid-
lin, Publics Works Foreman Rose, and Public Works Director
Thatcher to discuss the bid proposals and determine the long
range goals for our turf maintenance equipment program. It was
determined that a second mower would be needed in the future
based on the age of our current equipment as well as the hours on
our two groundsmasters.
MC
Realizing that we will probably need a second mower, it was felt
that the John. Deere 930 would find an excellent comparison in
10at tCt_.CC- .�i L'rJ ,��Qweib Lv u'CLCuuu,V •i,i�1i •,ia ucaL drew' •ui '
City's needs. The John Deere 930 has been on the market for two
years and has received very positive reviews and references from
each of the current owners including the City of New Brighton who
are currently in the process of converting all their equipment to
John Deere. In addition to being the low bid, staff would recom-
mend that the John Deere 930 mowing unit and tractor along with
'!:.^.^^t Ja nnrrheaed from
cab, heater and one tv inch vi Gv� ..
KULLwfii 3&i2 i. the wmmint of $8,705. The bid price has been
reduced, as it was agreed upon at our meeting that a secona snow
blower unit was not necessary with the John Deere 1050 tractor
purchased next year. With the purchase of the John Deere, the
City would have added flexibility by having two units out broom-
ing or blowing at any one time. It should also be noted that we
did purchase the new John Deere 1050 tractcr from Rortum Sales
two years ago, and our sales and service have proven to of high
quality.
Staff would further recommend that we purchase the 1985 Olathe 48
inch high lift sweeper from MTI Distributing Company in the
amount of $8,395. The Olathe sweeper is the only bid that we
received for the turf sweeper and they are basically a captive
market in the area of self-propelled sweepers with the exception
of Jacobson who did not submit a bid. The turf sweeper would be
used during the spring and fall on an annual basis to clean the
parks up, as well as when we get into high rain periods which '
force us to get behind on our mowing and leave large clumps Of
grass. We would use the turf sweener in place of our current
hand raking of park areas. In addition, the turf sweeper would
oe an ideal vehicle for cleani,g up Ci�y Hall Park after large
picnics and community festivals such as 'Festival in the Park',
Greveland Park Picnic, and ocher community activities.
Vie total bid price of $9,705 for the mowing unit and $8,395 for
the turf sweeper makes for a total t0d price of $17,014, which
wculd be $815 over the original 1985 cafital budget. Staff would
recommend that t;,e $815 he ctargeo to contingency, but unfortun-
ately there is non. Consequently, I would recommend that the
$815 be assessed to the recreation activity account as there will
be a direct benefit in all our program areas with the additional
new new equipment. staff wili be it attendance at Monday ever
ings meeting to review this issue in length. Should you have any
questions prior to Morday evening's meeting, feel free to contact
myself directly at 781-30'i5, ext. 120.
RECOMMENDATION: To purchase one John Deere Model 930 front mow-
er/tractor with a 72 inch mowing deck and one cozy cab with heat-
er and one John Deere sweeper with a trades -bin in the
thee 1976 amountOfro Groundsmaster 72 inch rotary mower and
$8,705.00, and one Olathe 48 inch high lift turf sweeper in the
amount of $8,339 for a total purchase price of the two pieces of
equipment In the amount of $17,044 with the balance of $815 com- ,
Ing from the recreation activity account.

Highway 10
Wayne Brunr, representing Ronald Richardson, the
applicant, reviewed t)v proposed plan for a self- Motion Carri
service car wash at 2320 Highway 10.
Director Thatcher reported the proposed plan meets
City code requirements for stacking, with 16 spaces
required, and 22 being provided. He added the
Planning Commission has reviewed the proposal and
they recommend approval. He explained they did not
hold a public hearing, as one was not required by
City code.
Director Thatcher reviewed the proposed development
agreement and conditional use permit. He also reviewed
the data compiled when the water department visited
four homes in the area that had cv)mplained of their
Mounds View City Council
Regular Meeting

water pressure not being adequate. He reported that it
met acceptable levels, and the problems appear to be
from inside the homes.
Stan Serwa, 5279 O'Connell Drive, stated he did not like
the way the testing was done as he did not feel it was
done at the right time of day, when use was heaviest.
lie also stated he was concerned whether the owner would
keen the car . Eh neat.
Councilmember Hankner explained those are all conditions
that will go with the property, and if it is sold, those
conditions will carry over.
Attorney Meyers advised that the CUP could be recorded
with the County, to become a permanent record un the
property. He also suggested the Council consider adding
to the development agreement that if the business is
vacant for one year, the building be torn down.
Mr. Baxley, 5250 Jeffrey Drive, stated he felt the
attendent would be a problem, and would encourage youths
to hang out at th-- car wash. He also said he was concerned
with the sand and water going into the sewer system and
possibly plugging it up. He stated the City of Minneapolis
requires two holding tanks for a building that size.
Mr. Brunn replied they have planned for 6 sand trap
settling tanks one for each bay, l::61"ch exceeds what the
City of Minneapolis requires. He reviewed the prccess
by which the sand traps work, ant, drew a diagram to
illustrate then. He added they will be. pumped out as
often as needed. He also explained the attendent would
be there to handle problems, not create them.
Co,rncilmember Hankner stated she has scmc areas of
concern regarding th'.s development, and it would be
difficult for her to vote at this, time.
Mike Rich, who stated he was working for Mr. Richardson,
stated they have bean before the Planning Commission,
met with Staff, reviewed t.ie requirements of the City,
and the Planning Commission nas reviewed the proposal
and recommended approval. He explained frustration at
any further delay in acting on the proposal, pointing
out that the property is properly zoned, and the
questions that are being raised now are related to
management and operation, and they will abide by the
City rules and follow the building code.
Councilmember Hankner stated she was concerned with
' the holding tanks and would like an opportunity to
check into it and find out the impact of the waste
on the sewer system.

Regular MeetingPAge Four
-----------
Mr. Rich pointed out the building code requires the
developer to meet all the requirements of the City,
and the Council must be able to rely on City Staff and
they can monitor properly. He added that Staff and
the Planning Commission have no problems with the
proposal.
Barb Serwa, 5279 O'Connell Drive, stated she felt
Mounds View should follow tha Minneapolis code.
Theresa Lexa, 5229 Jettrey Drive read a prepared
statement in opposition to the car wash facility.
Dennis Richardson identified himself as Rondld
Richardson's son, and stated they are planning on
constructing a $300,000 building and they will not
let it go to waste. He gave examples of many well -run
self-service car washes in the area and also pointed
out that the drainage system and storage tanks they
will be having is over and above what Minneapolis
requires.
Barb Carlson, 5239 Jeffrey Drive, stated that testing
was not done of the water pressure with the car wash
in operation.
Mr. Richardson pointed out the property owners knew
tha land was zoned B-3 when they purchased their
homes.
Councilmember Haake explained there is a very extensive
list of uses that are allowable in a B-3 zoning, with
not all cf them being as attractive as what the
neighbors might like.
tayor iinke explained the use in question is allowable
and a conditional use permit is required to put
restrictions on the property.
aim Hass, 5240 Jeffrey Drive, stated he did not want
to live next to a car wash.
In response to a question from Stan Serwa, Clerk -Administrator
Pauley explained that as a result of recent legislative action,
the Zoning Code rules in all cases. If the use is compatible
with the Zoning it is permitted even if it is in conflict
with the Comprehensive Plan.
Attorney Meyers reviewed the section of the code that
is applicable to this request. He stated that if the
property is properly zoned and the developer agrees to
meet the conditions set forth, the City cannot deny him.

r James Jackson, 5299 O'Connell Drive, questioned where the
surface run-off will go. Mr. Brunn indicated on the map
where it will go and where the holding pond will be
situated.
September 9, 1985
Page Five
-----------------
Director Thatcher stated he does not see any adverse affect
on the water services or sanitary sewer services for the
area, and this proposal meets the criteria of the Rice Creek
Watershed District for holding ponds.
Mr. Brunn reported a car wash uses 3 gallons of water per
minute per bay, whereas a 5/8" garden hose uses 15 gallons
of water per minute.
Russ Rudd, 5289 O'Connell Drive, asked if the holding pond
would be inside the landsca,)ed area, as he was concerned
with children playing there.
Mr. Brunn replied it would be, with the fence approximately
1 foot from the property line, and the building itself
about 40' from the property line.
Clerk/Administrator Pauley read the allowable uses for
B-1, B-2 and B-3 zoning.
