MEMO TO: Mayor 6 C1ty council
FROM: Finance Director -Treasurer Brager
ATE: October 2, 1985
RE: REQUEST FOR AUTHORIBACION TO HIRE A FJLL-TIME
ACCOUNTING CLERK
The Adopted 1986 Budget provides for the hiring of a full-time
accounting clerk to be funded from the General, Water and Sewer
Funds. During 1985 the Finance Department had 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 during 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 full-time accounting clerk now. Our
rationale is that the hiring of a part-time accounting clerk for
the remainder of 1985 would involve considerable staff time in
recruitment and subsequently 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
levels adequate to allow a full-time accounting clerk to begin
employment during 1985 it seem,, more cost effective to hire that
individual now rather than go through twc recruitment and
subsequent training processes.
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff proposes chet the part-time accounting, clerk's posicior he
abolished since the 1986 uudget provides for a full-_ime
position. Further staff proposes tr.at a full-time accounting
clerk's position be established and authorization he given to
advertise for that prsition as soon as possible.

MEMO TO: MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL/ T \
FROM: CLERK -ADMINISTRATOR/ ll
DATE: OCTOBER <, 1985
SUBJECT: PROPOSED ELECTRICAL AND NATURAL GAS RATE INCREASE
Attached please find a copy of a letter received by Mayor Linke
from St. Paul Councilman William Wilson outlining his concerns
regarding the proposals by Northern States Power to increase
electrical and ,laturai gas rates as presri.Led to the Minnesota
Public Utilities Commission.
Also attached to this memorandum please find a copy of a memo
from Energy Coordinator Rita Docken to myself providing addi-
tional detail on the proposed rate increases. At first blush
it would appear that the proposed rate increases are justified
since NSP has not had a rate increase on either of these two
utilities since 1981. At the same time the rate increases are
substantial, however, it is unlikely that the Public Utilities
Commission will be approving them at the level initially
requested.
At the present time the Utilities Commission has begun the
process of considering the proposed increases and several
organizations including the City of St. Paul have filed with
the Commission to intercede in the increase jrocess Corsidering
the City'E general lack of knowledge and experience in this area
and the. fact that many organizations, such as the Suburban Rate
Authorita, and the Minnesota Public IntereEt Research Group, will
be interceding, it would appear irapproprir.te for the City of
Mounds View to take any action on th4.s item at this time other
than possibly the adoption of a reaol-ltion supporting the actions
of the City of ;t. Pacl and other interested organizations.
Staff would request Council direction on this matter at this time.

µL: Kate increase for NSP Electric Utility Service
Northern StdteF Power Company last filed for a rate increase
un July 1, 1981, with interim rateu ulluctive on September 29,
1981.
Justification for the current proposed $128,933,000 (13.4461
revenue increase includes a rate base increase of 25% (not
counting Sherco 3) and an increase in expenses of 35%. Future
financing requirements will be greater as older facilities
are replaced and new facilities are built to serve new loads.
NSP is requesting an interim rate increase of 9.29% ($88,965,000)
effective for the period beginning September 30, 1985 and
ending September 30, 1986.
Variable rate increases are proposed,
resulting in an
overall
increase of 13.44b. The proposed changes would have
the
following effects for Mounds View.

Dear Mayor Linke and Members of the City Council:
NARK VOCRDING
,..�u.. Aw.
As you are aware, Northern States Power Company has filed a request
for an electric rate increase of 13.44 per cent which will cost ele -
tric consumers an additional $129 million each year. My purr in
writing is to ask if you, as a public official, have considered the
impacts of this rate increase in your community, and secondly, to find
out if you are interested in joining a consortium with other munici-
palities to challenge this request.
We in St. Paul are very concerned about how the proposed increase
affects residential users, particularly since it follows on the heels
of a requested gas rate increase. These users will be especially hurt
because they will carry a greater portion of the rate increases
(15.o5f compared to 13.a4$ overall for electricity, 9.39% compared to
7.05% overall for gas). Because of our concern, we have already
intervened in the gas rate csse, and support for this action has been
ove-ninelming.
Byound this, the FroFosed elect.rlc rate increase w 1l have an adverse
impact on city budgets. We hava ^r)je_-ted, for example that it w'1.
cast St. Paul an additinal $400,00o per yea.- tr. operate -itreet
light9, traffic sig.lals, water pumps and other electric servic-3. Of
particular conceal is IaSP's proposal to ella.lra, a the p.sMP•ng
for large municip'ilities.
To assist you in evaluating the NSP rate increase on Mounds View, I
have cnclosed rates of comparison whinh applYtodmunicaipal servr� i��
ces
aryl comparisons c. present and proposed residential,
coomercial rates.
Finally, I propose that, as concerned cities, we join together as a
consortium to intervene in this electric rate case. NSP's proposal

and ideas.

S1111JECT: WF.1,1. No. 4
As yo may iccal' the Lj
'.t awarded the Well No 4 Maintenance
Projectto Layne Minnesota in the amount of $14,282.00. Layne
Minnesota removed the pump and motor and televised the well. The
television inspection indicated that there was probably a leak in
the grouting between the 24" diameter casing and the 16" diameter
casing at a depth of 2701. We speculated that this potential
leak may be the cause of the bad odor in the water from this
well. The estimated cost of repairing this potential odor
causing leak to meet Minnesota Department of Health standards was
$60,000.00. At that time, I proposed that we conduct a test to
see if the joint that migh be leaking, in fact, did leak. The
cost of conducting this test was approximately $5,000.00 and
Layne Minnesota provided me a letter dated June 12, 1985 stating
that they would complete the repairs of the pump and motor and
conduct the test for a price not to exceed $14,964.00 without
further approval. The City Council approved my recommendation to
conduct the test for approximately S5,000.U0 and try to save
$60,000.00. At that time- we also discussed the possibility of
issuing a change order. We decided that a change order was not
necessary at that time because there may be some additional work
that may need to be done and that one change cyder at the end of
the project was the easiest way to go.
I am pleased to let you know that we conducted the test and the
test showed that the joint aid noL leak and that the City does
not have to spend S60,000.00 to repair the joint.
However, there were some addit.onal costs that I authorized with
the understanding that we wound 'saue a change order Teter. Thn
additional costs are outlined under Item No. 3 of Layne Minnesota
Company's Invoice N,. 13615 dated October 7, 1985. I approved an
increase above the original contract price for tertinq the
Potential leap in the amount of $58d.00. 1 approved additional
repair on a column pipe for $159.00 and the constriction and
installation of a 16" guide for $1,005.00. I approved an
additional television inspection to verify that the work was done
correctly for an additional $750.00. I also utilized the
services of a technical service man to do some work over and
above the requirements of Layne Minnesota Company's June 12, 1985
letter for an amo,int of S1,008.00. The last additional item is
some additional test pumping in the amount of $175.00.
r 1Prk-Lrimtn1 strator and City COUnCII
Page Two of Two
October 11, 1985
Therefore, the changeorder is calculated by taking the total cost
of the nrninrr Isim,nSQ.001 minus the oriqinal contract price of
$14,282.00. Therefore, a change order increasing Layne Minnesota
Company's contract with the City in the amount of $3,777.00 is
justified. If YOU approve this change order, then the City owes
Layr- Minnesota $15,737.00 1518,059.00 minus a previous payment
of S2,322.001. There is enough money in the 1985 Capital
Improvement budget because Line Item. 7UO-122-4123 allocates
$20,000.00 for this work.
RECOMMENDATION: I recommend approving the change order
increasing Layne Minnesota Company's contract with the City by
S3,777.00 for a total contract price of $18,059.00. I also
recommend payment of $15,737.00 to Layne Minnesota.

Parks, Recreation and Forestry
DATE: October 17, 1985
RE: Position Title Change
I - 1 Parks anA RnrreAtion
iiasea on d recent survey Ji ♦cca- :ram.
Departments, it appears that the current title of "Program Super-
visor" for Mary Sdar:on does not accurately reflect her current
respar,sibilities. we have surveyed the local municipalities and
of the 45 communities we polled, the vast majority of the titles
for the individuals doinq comparable work was either 'Recreation
Supervisor" or "Athletic Superintendent". As our department is
smaller than most municipal departments, I'd like to propose that
Mary's title be officially changed from "Program Supervisor" to
"Recreation/Athletic Supervisor".
This issue was called to my attention by Mary and I fully support
her position on this issue and would encourage the City Council
to endorse the position title change as requested. Should you
have any questions regarding staff Is position on this issue, fees.
free to contact myself directly at ext. 020.

MEMO 1'u: MAYUH AND CITY CUUgI'!
FROM: CLERK-ADMINISTRA'l
DATE: OCTOBER 17, 1985 r 'u
SUBJECT: PROPOSED NOISE STANDARD AMENDMENTS
As you may recall, in April of this year you reviewed
proposed amendments to the State's noise standards from the
Minnesota Pollution Control Agency and directed Staft to
communicate the desire of the City that a public hearing be
held on these proposed new standards rather than the
suggested adoption without a hearing. Attached for your
information is a copy of new notices received by the City
withdrawing the original proposal for amendments and
substituting a revised set of amendments for which public
hearings will be held on November 19 and November 25 of this
year.
In discussing the revised amendments with Dave Kelso of the
Minnesota Pollution Control Agency I learned that the only
changes, which are highlighted on the notices, are contained
in Sections 7010.0020 through 7010.0040.
It would appear from reviewinn these revised amendments that
there are no chenges of any significant nature from the
original proposed amendments which Staff indicated did not
appear to have any mayor impact upon the concerns of the
City of Mounds View as it relate: to airport noise.
Therefore, Staff would not recommend the City submit
comments regarding the proposed rule amendments at the
scheduled public hearings.
