Adequate parking for the JLN site is important because we
do not want overflow parking on residential atre=ts. "
also believe that it is alot easier to remove a parking .ea

Re: Development proposal for
located within the City
by County Road II-2, U.S.
35W
Dear Don:
July 9, 1986
approximately 50 acres of property
of Mounds View, bounded generally
Highway 10, and Interstate highway
Please accept my apology for the tardiness of my response
to our meeting of June 9, 1986. The delay is attributable to a
�^ variety of factors but should not be construed as a lack of /�-
interest on our part. JLN Development remains very enthusiastic
about the project, and we are now prepared to proceed as quickly
as applicable procedures will permit.
At our recent meeting we discussed two general areas
related to the project. The matters discussed, anP our response,
is summarized below.
1. Site Plan
In connection with the preliminary site plan which we
presented, you advised that the City was generally
satisfied but would oppose any access to the site from
County Road H-2. Since our meeting we have re-
evaluated the site plan to determine project feasibility
without -access to County Road H-2. While we understand the
City's concern and while we are prepared to take every
reasonable step to mitigate the impact of the development
on the surrounding neighbors, we fee:. that effective
development of the site can occur only with access to the
project from County Road H-2. As you know, we are con-
sidering a significant development which will involve over
600,000 square feet of improved space, and more than 50
acres of. land. The prohibition of access to County Road H-2
would, in our judgment, prevent effective development of J
the site and cf,uld impair project feasibility.

Obviously this is a matter which we must discuss, ano
perhaps at this time, progress would be facilitated by sub-
mitting a preliminary plan to the Planning Commission.
2. Tax Increment Financing
in connection with tax increment financing, you indicated
that a tax increment district could be created, that the
Council was in favor of looking at tax increment financing
on the project, and that based upon your present assump-
tions approximately $4,000,000 could be made available to
the developer on a buy/down basis. You also expressed con-
cerns over matters which would be embodied in the
Development Agreement, including some provisions to asvure
performance by the Developer and protection of the City's
interest.
The general parameters of the proposal which we discussed
are acceptable to the Developer, provided that some form of
assistance or additional tax increment proceeds are
available to help defray the costs associated with
construction and installation of the rather extensive road-
way and utility systems throughout the site. Note: It is
our understanding that certain State funds may be available
for this purpose.) Additionally, I believe your concerns
regarding the other elements of the Development Agreement
can be satisfied in a manner which will be mutually accep-
table to the City and the Developer.
After you have had an opportunity to review and consider
the foregoing, please call me at your earliest convenience to
discuss our npxt step. As indicated previously, we are now pre-
pared to proceed post haste with the negotiations and submissions
necessary to permit the project to proceed. I shall look forward
to hearing from you.

RE: Development proposal fer approximately 60 acres of
property located within the City of Hounds View, !'
bounded generally by County Road H-2, U.S. Highway 10
and Interstate Highway 35W
Dear Don:
This letter follows our conversation of Friday, August 8, 1986,
concerning the above -referenced project. We at JLN Development, Inc.
are prepared to proceed quickly to negotiate and finalize an
appropriate Development Agreement with the City of Mounds View. ka
understand that the next step is to place the matter on the City
Council agenda schedule of August 18, 1986, for the purpose of
authorizing the implementation of a Tax Increment Financing plan.
This letter will serve to outline the scope and nature of the
development we propose to undertake, and the extent of tax increment
financing assistance we propose that the city of Mounds View provide.
In general terms, we propose to develop a project consisting of the
following:
1. Four (4) office/Service Buildings with a total
floor area of approximately 257,000 square feet.
2. Six (6) Light Industrial Buildings with a total
floor area of approximately 514,000 square feet.
3. one (1) Restaurant with a total floor area of
approximately 4,000 square feet.
Total building area: 775,000 square feet.
Total site area: 60 acres ±
We believe that the City of Mounds View will benefit by the project we
are considering in a number of ways. The substantial size of the
project will provide a dramatic increase in the city's real estate tax

base and employment opportunities. The comprehensive development of a
large project by a single developer will result in better coordinated
design, improved planning, and greater efficiencies in site
utilization, provision of public utilities, and traffic control.
The proposed office/service, light industrial and restaurant uses are
consistent with tfie city's comprehensive Plan and actually will result
in a favorable "down -zoning" of a portion of the property now
designated "Highway Commercial". The quality of construction,
landscaping and amenities we are planning will encourage the location
of desireable business and industry in the City of Mounds View. We
believe the completed project will convey a very desireable image for
the City at an important and long under -developed location.
To be economically feasible, the project w411 rsquira Tax Tncrnmeni-
Financing assistance from the City in the approximate amount of $5.5
million dollars. In consideration for providing this assistance, the
Developer will agree, as we have previously discussed, to construct
the project and will guarantee a market value increase of $25.5
million dollars. JLN Development, Inc. will enter a Development
Agreement with the City of Mounds View embodying the foregoing terms
as well as reasonable provisions to assure performance by the
developer to protect the city's interests.
We are enclosing our check in the sum of $5,000.00 to defray City
expenses associated with the implementation of a Tax Increment
Financing plan. At the City Council agenda meeting on August 18, we
request that Staff ask for Council authorization to proceed with
preparation and negotiation of a tax increment plan. In the event
that authorization is not given, we request that our check be
returned.
I believe we all recognize that we Pre in the preliminary stages of
discussion and planning of the foregoing, with many particulars yet to
resolve. Based on our meetings with City staff to date, however, we
believe that we can come to agreement on the material matters,
enabling thg City of Mounds View and JLN Development, Inc. to proceed
with a major development project to our mutual benefit.
We look forward to the Council agenda meeting of the 18th.

SUBJECT: JLN "EVELOPMENT TAX INCREMENT PROPOSAL
As has been previously reported to the City Council, staff has
been meeting with representatives of JLN Development, Inc.
regarding their proposal for the development of the Waste and
Beim properties.
As you may recall, the original proposal called for thr.
development of office/warehouse buildings, restaurants, and a
large shopping complex. This proposal has been revised to
provide for a restaurantioffice/service buildings, and office/ _.
warehouse buildings as outlined in the attached letter from JLN
dated August 12, 1986.
After three separate negotiation/discussion sessions between JLN
representatives and City staff (Don Pauley, Steve Thatcher, and
Walt Hartman, the Cil:y's tax increment consultant) a basic
proposal for a tax increment agreement, coPV attached, was
suhmitted by staff to JLN. From the written comments of JLN, it
would appear they wish to negotiate this proposal further,
however, staff feels that little is left for negotiation in order
tc Secure the interest of the City adequately. Should the
» Council dn.termine that they wish to pursue this proposal further,
/ a Tax Increment Plan will need to be prepared by our consultant.
Jr..,N has submitted $5,000 in escrow funds to secure the City's
costs for this Plan and any other necessary expenses. y
At the same time the City Council is considering the tax
increment portion of the proposal and preparing a Plan, the
Planning Commission will be reviewing the development proposal
and request for rezoning from B-3 to B-2 for the office/service
and restaurant portions of the project. in order to meet the 4
September 30th deadline JLN has for fulfilling their purchase
options, assuming extensions cannot be negotiated or grapted, the i
following schedule has been prepared. 'X

Lastly, the Developer is undetermined as to whether the project
would be PUB or a conventional subdivision of the parcels for
building purposes. The method could be a condomintmized commer-
cial type development of lease or sell.
Building Setbacks Builering and Parking
Building setbacks and parking areas shown on the site plan appear
to meet minimum setback requirements. Setback requirements to
residential property are exceeded and planting schedule for
must

The proposed project is covered under the Environmental Protec-
tion Law in a number of. areas. They potentially include building
square footage, parking spaces and sewage. Threshold require-
ments for building square footage along for a 3rd class City are
200,000 square fool for an RAW and 500,000 for FIS. Therefore,
under the proposed site plan an EIS would be required.

Street Layout, Easements and Traffic
The 1,onceptual site plan proposes three additional street
segments. Program Avenue to the east, serving as a frontage
road, connecting to County Road I1-2; Quincy Street in the center
of the property travels south connecting with Highway 10 with
"right only" turns; and the extension of Woodale Drive off of new
Quincy Street southwest to Highway 10, where a complete signali-
zation is planned. All other paved area would be private and
used for access to the buildings and for parking.
Street, drainage and utility easements will be finalized in later
preliminary site plans.
The c:,ricepuual site plan for 4 new access points on County Road H
will alter existing traffic. Two of the connections are public
streets as mentioned above. The other two are planned as private
curb cuts for employee use. Doth curb cuts are deemed necessary
by the Fire Chief as access points for emergency sit�aons as
they would improve emergency response time. Decause the traffic
changes may be dimly looked at by the public, I would suggest
that the developer, with City staff direction, have a traffic
analysis of the development changes. Please remember that the
J addition of Quincy Street and Program Avenue would also substan-
tially reduce County Road 11-2 traffic fog south bound users.
Improvements
The project at this time is also undetermined as to whether the
improvement will be installed by the City under peta76n or whether
it will be privately done and then dedicated to the City.
The improvements should include:
street paving
curb and gutter
sidewalk
street lights
water main
sewer main
storm sewer and ponding
There exists a 21"sanitary sewer interceptor and 12 inch water
main which travels through the property. They both are adequate
for the proposed relocations. There is no existing storm sewer
system that drains the property. The only drainage that occurs
would be ditches to isolated parts of the property. An outlet
pipe size should be determined as soon as possible and given to
the Developer in order that he can develop his ponding needs per
City ordinance.

RE: Proposed Planned Unit Development For Approximately
60 Acres Of Property Hounded Generally by County Road
H2, U.S. Highway 10, and Interstate Highway 35W,
Mounds View
Dear Mr. Pauley, Mr. Thatcher, and Planning Commission
Members:
Confirming our discussions at the August 21 Planning
Commission meeting and August 25 City Council meeting, it is
our intention to request Planned Unit Development (P.U.D.)
classification and approval of our new development project
at the above location.
We have reviewed the Mounds View P.U.D. Ordinance and submit
this letter along with the enclosed exhibits and attachments
to meet the P.U.D. submission requirements.
Our proposed P.U.D. includes a mix of commercial
(office/service/showroom), light industrial, and restaurant
uses within an integrated, coordinated 60-acre development
site.
Four (4) office/service buildings totalling 231,000 square
feet will be situated generally along the Highway 10
frontage, taking advantage of the highway visibility and
exposure. These buildings will serve the market of office,
office/service, office/showroom, and high technology/
research and development facilities.
The office/service buildings are designed to accommodate up
to 75% office finish and 25% service, storage, or other
lesser finished area.
REAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENT

Page 2
The light industrial portion of the P.U.D. includes 6
buildings totalling 481,000 square feet of space, situated
generally on the interior of the site and along the County
Road H2 and Interstate 35W frontage. We anticipate the
users of these buildings will requiro a 10 to 20% office
finish, with the remainder manufacturing,00rthe otherilightedevoted o
warehousing, industrial uses.
The buildings and parking areas, however, are designed to
accommodata up to a 40% office finish within the light
industrial buildings.
A single free-standing restaurant site is situated along
Highway 10 near the Quincy Street entrance to the Bite to
serve the businesses locating within the project, as well as
the surrounding neighborhood.
The interior road system, including public roads, private
drives and truck service areas have been planned and
designed to focus ingress and egress along the Highway l0
corridor and to maximize the screening of truck service
areas from public view.

can commit, however, to keeping the City informed of our
marketing progress in general as it relates to the
construction timetable for specific buildings.

MEMORANDUM
GATE: 0 September 1906
TO: Steve Thatcher, City of Mounds View
FROM: Philip Carlson, DAHLGREN, SHARDLOW, & UGAN, Inl,_,,
RE: Parking Standards for Office and Industrial Uses
INTRODUCTION/SUMMARY
At the recent Planning Commission meetings we have promised to share with
you the research we have an perking standards for office and industrial user.
This memorandum will summarize our findings and the recommendations we
have made to JLN Developn"•int, based on thin information, for their project
» j in Mounds View.
The sources of our information include not only Twin Cities Metropolitan
Area zoning ordinances, but studies done by and for private developers, and
Independent national research publications. As might be expected, the
standards vary somewhat, but we feel confident In proposing a parking :atlo
which Is consistent with the pattern we see emerging from all these sources.
Based an the research we have done we recommend the following standards:
Office: 3.5 spaces per 1,000 sq ft GLA (gross leasable area)
Warehouse: 1.0 space per 1,000 sq ft GLA
The application of these standards to a specific building will depend on the
mix of office and warehouse space within that building. Obviously this mix
can chance en tenants change. We are degigning the development bRApd on an
absolute worst -case scenario of 100% office for the Office/Service buildings
and a 50/50 mix of office and warehouse for the Light Industrial buildings.
Translating this to :he specific buildings proposed in the JLN development we
arrive at the following ratios for ultimate development:
Office/Service Buildings: 3.50 spaces per 1,000 sq ft GLA
/ Light industrial Buildings: 2.25 spaces per 1,000 sq ft GLA
Steve Thatcher Parking Standards Memorandum 9/8/86 Page 2
10
RESEARCH DATA
For specific perking standards we researched the zoning codes of three
neighboring cities to Mounds View: Fridley, Spring Lake Park, and Blaine. We
also Included three cities in which we have considerable experience as planning
consultants: Roseville, Burnsville, and Mendota Heights.
We also Included standards from three prominent developers, either from
specific projects (the Ryan and MEPC date) or from several projects in
aggregate (the Marfleld study). Finally we consulted five national research
publications done independently from 1971 to 1986.
From these various sources we feel confident In concluding that a standard of
3.2/1000 for office use Is entirely adequate. Since this is the more Intense
use it will have more of an Impact than the warehouse figure. In order to
be on the conservative side, however, we have added a 10% safaty factor to
this for our final recommended parking figure. This yields a ratio of 3.5/1000
for office use. For warehouse use we feel 1.0/1000 is adequate, and in ;act
many cities require only half this figure.
The table on the following page summarizes our findings.

ASSUMPTIONS
Several assumptions have influenced our decisions and conclusions regarding the
parking standards. We review them here:
1) From the market research done by JLN Development for this project
we are anticipating an initial mix in potential tenants as fo►lows!
Office/Service: 25% Office, 75% Warehouse
Light Industrial: 10% Office, 90% Warehouse
2) Based on our experience and theirs in these kinds of developments,
we would anticipate that the maximum mix in tenant use at some
future date would be:
Office/Service: 75% Office, 25% Warehouse
Light Industrial: 40% Office, 60% Warehouse
3) In order to allow for an even more conservative approach to the
project, we have designed the parking to allow for the lower figure at
first, but an overlay design has been prepared which can be
implemented to convert the back truck loading areas to parking as
Ak
needed for changes in building use. This ultimate design assumes the wr
following:
Of 100% Office, NO Warehouse
Light Industrial: 50% Office, 50% Warehouse
4) In addition to the conservative assumptions above we have added a
10% margin of safety to the office figure, bringing the 3.211000 noted
above to 3.5/1000, which Is our recommendation. This margin will allow
for parking inefficiencies, snow storage, and other contingencie9.
5) In addition to this, we have been operating thus far on our
development plans using gross building area (GBA) as the basis for our
parking calculations, since this is the number JLN uses in its tenant
leases. Since Mounds View calculates parking on a GLA which is 10%
less than GBH, the parking ratios we have shown will increase by more
than 10% when converted to GLA. Our final development plan and
parking overlay will be refined to take this into account.
The table on the following page compares the figures arrived at for
Office/Service and Light Industrial buildings under the various assumptions.

CONCLUSION 40
Based on the for;ning research from several sources, we conclude that a ratio
of 3.2 spaces per 1,000 square feet for office and 1.0 spaces per 1,000 square
feet for warehouse is reasonable, supportable, and adequate. Adding a safety
margin of 10% for the office space, we arrive at our recommended standard
of 3.50 spaces per 1,000 square feet CLA. The warehouse figure being much
lower and not as sensitive to these fluctuations, it can remain at 1.0 spaces
per 1,000 square feet GL.A.
Our initial development proposal assumes a 25/75 office/warehouse mix for the
Office/Service buildings and a 10/90 mix for the Light Industrial buildings
s.
The parking to be provided initially will more than meet this mix. A parking
overlay. plan will be prepared to illustrate the future construction of parking
spaces adequate to serve a tenant mix of 100% office for the Office/Service
buildings and a 50/50 office/warchwse mix for the Light Industrial buildings.
This mix yields a parking ratio, based • on or recommendation standards, of
3.50/1000 for Office/Service buildings and 2.25/1000 for Light Industrial
buildings.

j� MOUNDS VIEW
TO: Tim Nelson, JLN Development, Inc.
FROM: James A. Benshoof and Michael L. Wonson
RE: Traffic Study for Proposed Mounds View Development
PURPOSE AND BACKGROUND
86-34-40
The purpose Of this memorandum Is to document our analysis
and findings concern!nq the proposed development located in
the City of Mounds View north of T.H. 10 and west of
Interstate 35W. Principal Issues which we have addressed
Include:
• The general ability of the public roadway system to
accommodate development traffic
• Tile necessity for slgnallzatlon of the proposed main
site access to T.H. 10
• Traffic impacts, Including truck traffic, on Quincy St.
north Of the site
• Traffic Impacts, Including truck traffic, on County
Road H-2 east of T.H. 10
Figure I presents the proposed development concept plan
which we understand lies been slightly modified. As we
understand It, the proposal consists of 231,000 sq. ft. of
offlce/service development, 481,000 sq. ft. of light
Industrial space, and a 4,000 sq. ft. quick service restaur-
ant. Fwi1 development of the proposal Is expected to occur
by 1991. Principal access to the development occurs from
T.H. 10 In two locations: a full movement access approxl-
mately half way between County Road 11 and County Road H-2
and a right In/out only between County FI and the full
movement access. Tl,e public roadway at the full movement
access will extend northward to an Intersection with County
Road 11-2, allgned directly across from Quincy St., and east-
ward to Program Ave. Two additional access points to
Individual bulldings from County Road 11-2 are proposed west
of Quincy St. Program Ave. Is proposed to be extended along
the eastern portion of the property connecting County Road
11-2 with Clifton St. Just north of County Road H.
Individual accesses are proposed to Program Ave.

TM` Principal roadways providing access to the site and their
general characteristics Includet
T.H. 10 - a designated principal arterial carrying
approximately 36,000 vehicles dally In the vicinity of
the site. The current Intersections of T.H. 10 with
County Road H and County Rc3d H-2 are operating at or
near capacity during the PM Peak [lour. The Minnesota
State Dept. of Transportation (MnDOT) plans to
construct a realigned T.H. 10 north of Its existing
alignment. One section Is currently In place from
1-35W to County Road J. The connection from County
Road J to T.H. 65 Is proposed for construction during
1987-88. the extension westward from T.H. 65 Is not
yet Proarammed. Based upon traffic projections
prepared for the Environments? Impact Statement For
T.H. 10, the new alignment Is expected to reduce
volumes on existing T.11. 10 approximately 67%.
Interstate 35W - a principal arterial carrying approxl-
Imately 45,000 vehicles In the vicinity of the site.
Access to the site from 1-35W Is provided as follows:
to/from the south at T.H. 10, to/from the north and to
the south at County Road H, and all movements at County'
Road 1.
County Road 11, a collector roadway, south of the site
which Intersects with T.H. 10, Clifton St./Program
Ave., and 1-3514.
County Road H-2, a designated collector roadway, which
Is actually a City street and a designated Minnesota
State Aid (MSA) roadway. County Road H-2 Is 44 feet
wide and Is proposed to provide access to the site at
two Individual driveways on the western portion of the
property and at a full movement intersection at Quinsy
Street.
Quincy Street Is a local MSA roadway, 44 Feet In width,
connecting County Road H-2 with County Road I north of
the property.
County Road I Is a designated minor arterial programmed
to be upgraded from 2 to 4 lanes between T.H. 10 and
1-35W In 1987. County Road I Intersects Quincy St. at
a signalized Intersection and provides full movement
access to 1-35W.

TRAFFIC FORECASTING
Trip Generation
The first step In the traffic forecasting process Is to
determine the daily and PM Peak Hour weekday t-lp generation
of the proposed development. Analysis of daily traffic
volumes can be used to assess general traffic Impacts of the
development, while the PM Peak Hour Is the time during which
both traffic on adjacent roadways Is busiest and traffic
generation by the proposed development Is largest and thus
the time during which traffic Impacts of the development
would be the greatest. It should be noted that the type of
development proposed (essentially office/warehouse)
generates traffic mainly during the weekdays, with little
nighttime or weekend traffic. As we understand It, approxi-
mately one third of the site could develop as commercial
retail space which would generate greater nighttime and
weekend traffic than this proposal.
For the purposes of determining the trips generated by the
proposal, it was assumed that the office/service buildings
would consist of 75% office/25% warehouse, while the light
Industrlai components would consist of 50% office/50% ware-
house. It Is expected that the development will actually
consist of 50% office/50% warehouse and 20% office/80% ware-
house for the office/service and light Industrial components
respectively. However, a higher office percentage (which
generates more trips) was used for this analysis to analyze
the "worst case" scenario which could occur with the
proposal.
Based upon trip generation rates published by the Inet ltute
of Transportation Engineers and Information from previous
SenshooF 8 Associates, Inc. studies, expected trip
generation (both cars and trucks) of the proposal upon full
occupancy was determined. The following table presents the
expected trip generation.

Trip Distribution
The next step In the traffic forecasting process Is to
determine the general distribution of trips to/from the
development. Considerable analysis was performed to
accurately estimate trip distribution and Includeds
• Review of previous studies by Benshoof S Assoclates,
Inc. In the general area.
• Review of a traffic study performed by Short-Elllot-
Hendrlckson In 1984 concerning the need for additional
access on T.H. 10 between County Roads H and H-2.
• Analysis of the Metropolitan Council regional traffic
model of the origin and destination of trips to/from
this general area.
• Analysis of projected population distribution wlthln
10 miles of the development.
Review of existing turn movements at key area Intersec-
tions.
Discussions with JLN Development, ►nc. concerning the
expected market for the proposal.
Figure 2 presents the expected trip distribution developed
on the basis of these analyses.
Traffic Assignment
Based upon the expected trip generation and distribution,
daily and PM Peak Hour development traffic was assigned to
the roadway system via the most convenient direct route
to/from Its destination. Careful attention was paid to the
routings of trips to/from specific buildings In the devel-
opment based upon the location of each building, Its assocl-
ated parking layout, and the attractiveness of specific
routes. The following are examples of selected routings
utlilzed+
For the most northwesterly office/service bullding:
all trips to/from T.H. 10 north and County Road H-2
west were assigned via H-2, all trips to/from County
Road I east were assigned via Quincy Street, 70% of
trips to/From 1-35W north were assigned via Quincy St.
with the remainder assigned via T.H. 10/County Road H
given the projectes principal Identity from T.H. 10,
all trips to/from the south/southwest were assigned via

Figure 3 presents the resultant estimated weekday daily
development traffic forecasts.
Traffic Diversion
The roadway system proposed by the development will result
In changing certain existing travel patterns. The extension
of Program Ave. from County Road H-2 to Clifton St. will
create another means of access to the regional roadway
system for properties on County Road 11-2 east of Quincy St.
(Including the mobile home park). The "extension" of Quincy
St. southward will provide connecting saccessite a an alternative for tripsto/fromthesouth for
persons living along County Road H-2 and Quincy St. It is
expected that the rerouting or diversion of existing trips
will affect County Road 11-2, but will not measurably.lmpact
existing volumes on Q'Jlncy St.
The current average daily traffic volume on County Road H-2
east of Quincy St. Is Ig00 trips, of which approximately
1100 are estimated to be oriented to/from the south/south-•
west. It Is estimated that approximately 600 of these trips
will utilize Program Ave. to/From the south, while the

Mr. Tim Nelson -9- September 15, 1986
West of Quincy St., Just east of Jackson St., the existing
daily traffic on County Road H-2 Is 3500 vehicles. In
addition to the traffic ecst of Quincy St. which would be
diverted (1100 daily trips), It Is estimated that approxl-
mately 500 trips oriented to/from the south from Quincy St.
currently use County Road H-2 In the vicinity of Jackson St.
These trips In addition to trips from locations Just west of
Quincy St. on 14-2 are also expected to divert through the
development to T.11. 10. Thus, of the ey.lsting 3500 vehicles
per day using County Road H-2 east of Jackson St., 1900
trips would remain.
As noted, the ultimate realignment of T. H. 10 to the north
Is expected to reduce volumes on existing T.H. 10 approxi-
mately 67%. The E.I.S. for T.H. 10 did not estimate a
reduction based upon the existing programmed connection to
T.H. 65. As such, no specific analysis of the diverson of
trips from existing T.H. 10 to new T.H. 10 by 1991 (full
development of this proposal) has been taken Into account in
this report.
Based upon the estimates of the diversion of existing
traffic volumes, daily development trips can be added to the
roadway system to determine projected daily volumes on the
public roadway system upon full development of the proposal.
Figure d presents the existing average daily traffic and
_. projected dally traffic volumes. Analysis of the Impacts of
the daily development traffic and PM Peak Hour traFFIc Is
discussed In the following section.
TRAFFIC ANALYSIS
In reviewing the projected daily traffic on the roadway
system upon full development of the proposal. traffic
volumes on the major roadways, with the exception of Quincy
St., are consistent with the function which these roadways
are expected to perform based on existing functlonaf class-
Iflcatlon (collector, minor arterial, principal arterial).
Impacts on specific roadways and/or locations are discussed
below.
7.11. 10
T.H. 10 Is the principal access to this development with
approximately 70% of ail development traffic expected to
utilize T.H. 10 In the Immediate vicinity of the property.

traffic slgnallzatlon will be warranted. The design of this
Intersection should Include a double left turn lane on the
north approach to accommodate the traffic volumes leaving
the proposed development.
As noted, tf•e Intersections of T.H. 10 with County Road H
and County Road FI-2 are currently operating at or near
capacity during the PH Peak Hour. The principal reason for
this current operation Is the significant northbound
through volume on T.H. 10. The majority of development
traffic on T.H. 10 during the PH Peak Hour will be south -
bound, opposite the prevailing traffic volumes. As such,
development traffic Is not significantly Increasing the most
critical movement on the roadway. Upon full development of
the proposal, through volumes on T.H. 10 will be reduced as
a result of the const:•uctlon of realigned T.H. 10 to T.H.
65. As fu-ther construction of realigned T.H. 10 westward
occurs, through volumes will continue to be reduced, such
that upon completion of the regional roadway system, T.H. 10
Is expected to effectively accommodate development traffic
and operate at Improved levels of servlco than currently
exist.
Program Avenue
Program Avenue Is proposed to be extended from County Road
H-2 to Clifton St. This connection Is Important In
providing access to the development, providing an :^ddltlonal
connection to T.H. 10 and 1-35W for a portion of the
property, and diverting existing traffic from County RoaJ
H-2 In the vicinity of Quincy and Jackson Streets. Based
upon PH Peak Hour projections, the Intersection of County
Road it and CIIftori St. Is expected to effectively accommo-
date traffic. PH Peak Flour signal warrants would not be met
upon full development of the proposal based on current
projections. S
Cotjn>y Road 14-2
As noted, County Road H-2 Is actually a City street which Is
both a designated collector roadway and an MSA roadway, 44
Feet In width. Just east of Jackson St., the development Is
expected to add approximately 845 daily trips (two way),
while east of Quincy St. 270 daily development trips are
expected. As noted, the roadway system proposed for the
development will result In diversion of existing trips from
County Road H-2, effectively reducing existing traffic
volumes on this roadway. As can be noted from Figure 4,
daily volumes on County Road H-2 are expected to be less
than current volumes despite the addition of development
traffic. As such, It could be concluded that the devel-
opment actually provides benefits to County Road H-2 by
reducing overall traffic.

located at the southeast corner of the Intersection. Just
north of County.Road I1-2, Quincy St. currently carries 1150
daily trips. This volume exceeds Metropolitan Councll
standards for dally volumes on local streets (1000 daily
trips). eased upon counts taken by eenshoof d Associates,
Inc., this section of Quincy St. has a PM Peak Hour volume
of 74 vehicles.

Mr. Tim Nelson -13- September 15, 1986
- Upon full development of the proposal, an additional 690
daily trips (two way) are expected to utlllze Quincy St. (an
Increase of 607.), with 125 trips In the PH Peak Hour (an
Increase of 169%). Of the daily trips, approximately 50 are
expected to be light/medium trucks and 6 to be combination
trucks If no effort Is made by the developers to restrict
truck usage. With the actions to reduce outgoing truck
usage discussed above, It Is expected that the estimated
dally truck trips could be effectively reduced by
approximately 50%.
Based upon the projected traffic, the current design of
Quincy St., and the slgnollzatlon at the Intersection with
County Road I. It Is expected that Quincy St. can safely and
effectively acnommodate development traffic. However, with
the Increased traffic volumes that would occur, the function
of the street would change from local to collector status.
CONCLUSIONS
Based upon the analysis of the traffic impacts of the
proposed development In Mounds Views the following conclu-
slons are mades
• The development is expected to generate approximately
( 7660 dally trips (In and out) Including 530 light/med-
lum truck trips and 50 combination truck trips.
• Upon full development of the proposal, traffic volumes
on area roadways, with the exception of Quincy St., are
consistent with the functional classification of the
roads Indicating that development traffic can be effec-
tively accommodated.
T.H. 10 Is the principal access to the property with
approximately 70% of all development trips expected to
utilize this roadway In the vicinity of the site.
The proposed full movement Intersection on T.H. 10
providing the main access to the site will require
s!gnalizatlon.
The Intersections of T.H. 10 with County Road H and
County Road 11-2 currently operate at or near capacity
during the PH Peak Hour. The planned realignment of
T.H. 10 north of Its current alignment will slgnlfl-
rnntly reduce through volumes on existing T.H. 10, such
that It Is expected that development traFflc can be
effectively accommodated on T.H. 10.
Mr. Tim Nelson -IA- September 15, 1986
The extension of Program Ave. from County Road H-2 to
Clifton St. Is important, not only In providing access
to the development, but also In providing alternative
routings for existing traffic on County Road H-2
thereby reducing traffic volumes on that roadway.
The extension of Program Ave. and provision of new
access to T.H. 10 will sufficiently reduce existing
traffic volumes on County Road H-2 that, upon full
development of this proposal, projected traffic volumes
on County Road II-2 will be lower then currently exist.
Given the design and functional classification of
County Road H-2, the roadway can effectively accommo-
date both development traffic and other area traffic.
Daily volumes on Quincy St. north of County Road H-2
(1150 vehicles) currently exceed Metropolitan guide-
lines for traffic on local roadways. Upon full
development of the proposal, approximately 700 addl-
t(onal daily trips are expected. Given the current
design of Quincy St., the signallzatlon at Its inter-
section with County Road 1, and the Fact toot l:I
Pinewood School hours do not conflict with ree:< devzl-
opment traffic periods, It Is concluded that Quincy St.
can safely and effectively accommodate development
traffic. However, the Increased traffic volumes will
have the effect of changing the function of the roadway
from lccal to collector status.
Actions by the owners of the development, such as
positive and continued dialogue with tenants regarding
truck routes, and the erection of guide signs directing
traffic to T.H. 10/1-35W through Internal development
roadways, can effectively reduce Impacts of truck
traffic on County Road H-2 and Quincy St.

RE: Proposed Development by JLN Development, Inc.
Dear Mr. Thatcher:
86-34-40
The purpose of this letter Is to respond to your request
concerning the trip generation characteristics of the
proposed JLN development If the ratio between office and
warehouse space crcurred as "expected" by the developers.
On page 4 of our memorandum of Sept. 15, 1985 concerning the
traffic analysis for this proposal, we Indicated that, for
purposes of a office/service "worst case"
ce/servicebuildingswould ndevelop aataa ratioeofthat the
75% office/257, warehouse while the IIght,Industrial space
would develop at at ratio of 50% office/50S warehouse. This
latter ratio Is a typographical error in the report and
should lead 40% office/60% warehouse for the light indus-
trial space, which is the ratio we utilized for the trip
generation/traffic assignment.
developersThe
actuaIIydeveIopxatca ratio of 50% off Ice/50R warehouse andl
the light Industrial space at a ratio of 20% office/80%
warehouse. In comparing the trip generation characteristics
of the development as assumed for the purposes of our report
versus that actually expected, It Is Important to note that
while a greater proportion of the total traffic generated by
warehouse space is truck trF:ffic, warehouse space generates
substantially less traffic on a daily basis and slightly
less traffic during the PM Peak Hour than office space. Tile
following table preser`:j the :omparlson of trip generation

B. Statement of Objectives
See Part 1, Section F, Subsection 1 of this report.
C. Development Program
1. Description of Development Activities
The development program will consist of a 231,000 square foot
office/service center, 481,000 square foot warehouse and 4,000
square foot restaurant. As such, a four -phased ccnstruction buiidout
of new commercial/industrial development approximating 716,000

D. Descrlption of Property in the Tax increment Financing District
The tax increment financing district encompasses the parcels in the
redevelopment district identified In Appendix C.
E. Classification of the Tax Increment Financing District
The City Council of the City of Mounds View, Minnesota, in
determining the need for a tax increment financing district in
Accordance with Minnesota Statutes, Sections 273.71-273.78
F.
G.
inclusive, finds that the district to be established Is a redevelopment
district pursuant to Minnesota Statutes Section 273.73, Subdivision
(71
10. It has been determined that 15 of the parcels in the district
percent) are occupied by buildings, streets, utilities or other
Improvements And 27 percent of the buildings are structurally
substnndnrd and an ndditionai 40 percent of the buildings are found to
reauire substnntial renovation or clearance In order to remove such
existing conditions as: inadequate street layout, incompatlbie uses or
land use relationships, overcrowding of buildings on the land,
excessive dwelling unit density, obsolete buildings not suitable for
Improvement or conversion, or other Identified hazards to health,
safety and general well-being of the community. The 15 structures
on the 21 parcels of land constituting the redevelopment district have
been investigated by consultants. Four of the 15 buildings are
deteriorated and structurally substandard to a degree requiring
clearance and 0 other structures are found to require substantial
renovation in order to remove such existing conditions as: inadequate
street layout, incompatible uses or land use relationships,
overcrowding of buildings on the land, excessive dwelling unit
density. obsolete buildings not suitable for improvement or
conversion, or other Identified hazards to the health, safety and
general well-being of the community. Thus, the tax Increment
financing district appears to meet the statutory requirements of A
redevelopment district and will henceforth be referred to as a
tax increment financing district. The parcels that
redevelopment
have been used to establish eligibility as a redevelopment tax
increment financing district are listed in Appendix C.
Parcels in Acquisition
1. Properties identified for acquisition will be acquired by the City In
order to accomplist one or more of the following: remove, prevent,
of blight, or the spread of
or reduce blight, blighting factors, causes
blight and deterioration; to eliminate unhealthful, unsafe, and
unsanitary structures and conditions; reduce traffic hazards; provide
land for needed public streets, utilities, And facilities; remove
Incompatible land use, eliminate obsolete or detrimental uses;
assemble land for redevelopment; carry out clearance lmd/or
the uses and objectives set forth -in this
redevelopment to accomplish

construction schedules and tax timing; therefore, the given figure Is only an
estimate of capitalized interest and Is subject to change.
It. Estimated Amount of Loan/Bonded indebtedness
An estimate of the amount of bonded indebtedness is expected to be
$6,650,000. The term of the issue Is 15 years including 3 years of
capitalized Interest and the interest rate is expected to be 10.5 percent.
The amount of capitalized interest is estimated to be In a range of
$2,100,000 to $2,300,000.

Mounds view tax Increment based on the
value placed on the propertybythenredevelopment district
County As es orin19851s 'This assessed
value Is $2,416,08S. Each year the Office of the County Auditor will

assessed values).
Estimated Captured Assessed Value
Pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Section 273.74, Subdivision 1 and Minnesota
Statutes, Section 273.76, Subdivision 2, the estimated Captured Assessed
Value (CAV) of +he tax increment financing redevelopment district will
annually approximate 310,516,892 as a result of the project. This amount
will be captured for up to twenty-five years or until the project debt is
retired. The City requests 100 percent of the available Increase In assessed
value for repayment of debt and current expenditures.
Duration of the District
Pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Section 273.75, Subdivision 1, the duration
of the tax Increment district within the Development District must be
indicated within the finance plan. The duration of the tax Increment
district will be 25 years from the date of receipt of the first tax increment.
Thus, it is estimated that the tax Increment district, including any
modifications to the finance plan for subsequent ohaads or other changes,
would terminate in year 2014.
Estimates impact on Other Taxing Jurisdictions
The impact of the loss of tax dollars represented as tax increments Is
estimated below for each taxing jursidiction. This estimate is based on the
existing redevelopment proposals and does not Include the possible tax
Increments derived from eny other future development, mill charges, or
Inflation factors.

Considering all the districts, It can be seen from the above that the city will
have over 96% and the school And county districts will have over 99% of
each respective district available for normal growth of tax base or
valuation. Applying the percentage of the total mill rate In 1986 levied by
each taxing jurisdiction to the projected mill rate and the estimated tax
Increment received reveals the annual loss of tax dollars by each taxing
jurisdiction as listed in the table below assuming development would occur
without public Assistance.

The following table represents the additional mills that would have to be
levied to compensate for the loss of tax dollars in estimated tax increments
for each taxing jurisdiction. The tax Increments derived from the
redevelopment project alluded to In the tax increment district would not be
available to any of the taxing jurisdictions were It not for public
intervention by the City. Although the Increases in assessed value due to
development will not be available for the application of the mill levy for the
durnVon of the tax Increment financing district, this new assessed value
could eventually permit a mill levy decrease. if it could be assumed that
the captured assessed value was available for each taxing jurisdiction, the
non -receipt of tax dollars represented as tax increments may be determined.
This deteembintion is facilitated by estimallnP hot much the mill levy for
property outside of the tax Increment financing district would have to be
Increased to raise the same amount of tax dollars in each taxing jurisdiction
thnt would be available if the projects occurred without the assistance of
the City.

consultants.
Z. Municipal Findings
Pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Section 273.74, Subdivision 3, before or at
the time of approval of the tax Increment financing plan, the municipality
shall make the following findings and shall set forth in writing the reasons
end supporting facts for each determination:
1. The proposed development or redevelopment, in the opinion of the
city, would lot reasonably be expected to occur solely through
private Investment within the reasonably foreseeable future and,
therefore, the use of tax increment financing is deemed necessary
since the developers could not construct and operate the
redevelopment project without the necessary public Improvements to
service the sites and without the use of tax Increments to assist with
the financing of the public Improvements, the developers would not
have constructed these developments in the City; and
2. The tax Increment financing plan will afford maximum opportunity,
consistent with the sound needs of the City as a whole, for the
development by private enterprise as it will enable the City to
provide the necessary public improvements to service the
Redevelopment sites; thereby encouraging redevelopment in the .aren.
3. The tax Increment financing plan conforms to the general plan for
the development of the city as a whole as it will result IP the
construction of a commercial/industrial development Including an
office/service facility, warehouse and restaurant, thereby
encouraging other new commerclal facilities and retention of
business in the city.
4. The tax increment district to be established is a redevelopment
district pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Section 273.73, Subdivision
10 In which the conditions describPart 11, Section 6, of this plan
exist.

MEMO TO: MAYOR AND CITY COUNC
FROM: CLERK -ADMINISTRATOR J}
DATE: SEPTEMBER 17, 1986
SUBJECT: ELECTION JUDGE ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS
As a result of the discussions at the September 8 Agenda
Session regarding the aforementioned subject matter, Staff
wishes to submit the following information regarding
Minnesota Election Law requirements relating to the
qualifications and eligibility of individuals to serve as
election judges. Attached for your information please find
Section 204B.19, Subdivisions 1 -5 outlining the
qualification requirements in the Minnesota Election Laws of
1983, updated 1986. Essentially, the Law allows that any
individual who is eligible to vote in an election precinct
is qualified to be appointed as an election judge assuming
the individual is able to read, speak and write the English
language, is not a spouse, parent, child, or sibling of any
election judge serving in the same precinct or any candidate
at that election, or is sot a candidate themselves at that
election. The Law further provides that the appointing
authority, the Mounds View City Council, may establish
additional requiremant qualifications which are not
inconsistent with the Law and which relate to the ability of
an individual to perform the duties of an election judge.
As it relates to requiring election judges to sign
statements attesting to their political party affiliation,
the Law defines in Section 200.02, Subdivision 17 that a
member of a major political party shall be one who: _
a. Supports the general principles of that
party's constitution;
b. Voted for a majority of that party's candi-
dates in the last General Election; or
c. Intends to vote for a majority of that ^a
party's candidates in the next General
Election.
Should the Council wish to require election judges sign a
statement indicating that they are a member of one of the
major political parties, the definition stated above must be ..
included in that form.
Although some discussions have occurred between myself and
members of the Council regarding the specific eligibility Of
certain election judges and the distribution of election
judges among the two political parties, I am not aware of
any specific violations or other events that have occurred
U
MAYOR AND COUNCIL

a
that would place the integrity of our elections in
jeopardy. I feel that the appointment of election judges
has beer. both rair and in strict conformance with State Law
and that the conduct of our judges at the polling places has
been above reproach.
Rather than taking the risk that election judge, might take
umbrage with the requ!rement that they sign a public
document of the type proposed, I would suggest that the City
place the burden on the political parties within the City to
provide its with lists of qualified electors to serve as
election judges as provided for by Section 204B.21,
Subdivisions 1 and 2, copy attached. In the past the City
has been unsuccessful in receiving lists containing more
t'nan one or two names, even after making numerous telephone -
contacts. Also, more often than net the individuals named on
the lists provided by the parties nave indicated that they
would be unavailable to serve as election judges for
personal or employment reasons. Therefore, Staff has been
forced to resort to lists of individuals used as election
judges in previous elections and we have been successful in
maintaining a balance of judges between the two political
parties on a City-wide basis or precinct basis depending
upon whether or not we are using an odd number of election
judges in each of the precincts.
Should the Council have any specific questions with respect
to this matter, I would be more than happy to answer them,
however, as I have stated previously I would recommend that
the City Council not.requfre judges sign statements but
request the parties to fulfill the obligations placed upon
them by State Law.

MEMO TO: Mounds View City Council
FROM: Mary Saarion, Acting Director
Parks, Recreation and Forestry
DATE: October 2, 1986
RE: Irrigation
Staff would like to propose that the City consider installing an.
underground irrigation system for the front of City Hall. Three
quotes have been received from various firms. The irrigation
system can be funded out of the City Forestry uccount, as we did
not employ a forestry assistant this summer due to the fact that
we were able to utilize summer J.P.T.A. staff to work in
replacement of Odas Newton who underwent knee surgery.
Staff feels that the irrigation system would be a welcome addi-
tion to the front of City Hall, as it is the showcase for our
City residents who do business at the City and would greatly
improve the quality of the turf as well as the trees, and flowers
and City sign area.
The three quotes are attached. The low bid of Aqua Engineering,
Inc. has agreed to hold fast the price even after the 20 days
deadline. Due to the chance of an early winter, staff would like
to bring the project as soon as possible if the Council believes
this project to be an improvement to the front of City Hall.

RE: AMENDMENT OF THE 1987 BUDGET DUE, TO RECENT NEGOTIATION
OF THE 1987 FIRE PROTECTION SERVICE CONTRACT
Costs of fire protection services included in t•he 1987 Budget
of $115,000 were based upon an estimated increase in costs of
8.4% over revised 1986 costs of $106,117. The addition of a
new position, an administrative assistant, increased the
City's 1987 costs an additional $7,701 over the amount
budgeted bringing our total costs to $122,701.
Staff proposes appropriating $7,701 of the Fund Balance of the
City's General Fund to finance additional. costs of fire
protection services. The 1986 Administration Budget contained
$5,000 in Account 100-120-4990 Transfers, which was intended
to be used as a local match for an energy conservation grant.
The grant was not obtainea. Those monies could be carried
into 1987 and used to offset increased costs of fire
protection services. Ramsey County Court Fines as of August
1986 were at 95.7% of budget. It is estimated that this
account will be approximately $23,602 over budget at year
end. The additional $2,701 needed for 1987 fire protection
services could come from this account and be carried into
1987.
RECOMMENDATION: Council appropriate $7,701 of the Fund
Balance of the General Fund to the 1987 General Fund Budget to
be used for additional costs of 1987 fire protection services.

RE: STATUS REPORT ON COMPUTER SYSTEM INSTALLATION
AND IMPLEMENTATION
This memorandum is intended to provide you with a report on
the progress that has been made thus far on the computer
system installation and implementation. It also outlines
scheduled future implementation dates for software systems
which have been ordered but not yet installed.
HARDWARE
During late May and early June bits and pieces of the computer
system began to arrive at City Hall. On June 10, Technical
Service Representatives from Texas Instruments, Inc. began to
put the pieces together and found that the cabinet of the
central processing unit (CPU), disk drives, and magnetic tape
unit was damaged in shipment as well as a read/write head on
the magnetic tape unit. Texas Instruments assumed
responsibility for the damaged items and subsequently replaced
them on June 19. Computoservice Inc. (CSI) installed the
operating system and communications software on June 24. City
staff received training on general systems operation from CSI
staff here on July 2.
CSI "delivers" software purchased via telecommunicar•ions.
Initially we experienced data transmission problems when
attempting to receive the Word Processing Software. The
problem was attributable to some switch settings in the
modem. The settings were changed by CSI and the modem now
functions properly.
SOFTWARE
Word Processina
After several attempts to install the Word Processing
Software, which were frustrated by the modem not working
properly (see above), the software was installed on July 14.
Recommended training on Word Processing is to spend 4-6 weeks
going through a self study guide, receive approximately 8
hours tra)aing at CSI's Education Center, use the system for
4-6 weeks, and receive additional training of approximately 8
hours at CSI's Education Center. Sharie Linke, Pat Michna and
Dorothy Sandgren received training at CSI the week of
September 15. Linda Meyers and Michelle Severson will be
scheduled for training this fall.
Page 2
October 1, 1906
Fixed Assets
Shamim Sabur and I attended a one day training session on this
Software July 9. The Software was installed on our system
July 14. Initially we encountered some software problems with
this system. CSI programmers corrected these problems and
Finance Department staff was able to begin entering data into
the system in mid August. Presently we are entering what data
we presently have on file regarding the City's fixed assets
and should complete that on October 1. After, staff will
begin to inventory those items that we do not have records for
and enter those into the system.
Enfors
Practice files for the Police Records Management System were
installed on July 25. Department personnel received training
on July 30 at MaSys Corporation offices in Minneapolis. At
the time the practice files were installed we were advised
that a revised version of Enfors had been written and was
under;oing final testing before release. MaSys recommended
waiting to install the software until the new version was
released. After discussions with MaSys Corporation and Jim
Stern. of Management Advisors, our computer consultant, it was
determined that waiting for the new release was the best
course of action to take. The new version has substantial
changes and would require substantial retraining of someone
who had learned the previous version. Staff felt that had we
taken the old version, staff would just be beginning to learn
that version and then would require training on the new
version. Since the Enfors Software is complex, staff felt
that it would be better to wait until the new version is
released and to begin training on ic. Scheduled installation
is September 26. Training will be conducted the week of
September 29. The modem and telephone line to connect our
system to the State Bureau of Criminal Apprehension System has
been ordered. The State put us on their list and gave no
indication when installation would take place.
Fund & Bud et Accountinq
This so.tware will produce financial statements and reports
similar Co those that are presently produced by the
Consortium. Mary Tatarek and I received initial trainirg on
August 5. The software was installed on August 12. Finance
Department Staff has been building the chart of accounts and
designing'the systems reports. On October 1 we will receive
additional training on the System. We will begin using the
system on January 1, 1987.
Utility Billing
Finance Department staff has been working on this system since
mid May. With the help of Consortium, Rarsey County Data
Processing and CSI staff we conducted a number of tests and
determined that it was feasible and practical to do a system
Page 3
October 1, 1986
to system conversion of utility customer. files. The usual
procedure is to manually enter this data into a new system.
Since there are approximately 2,900 utility accounts Finance
Department staff are quite thrilled that this method of
conversion is possible as it is a tremendous time saver.
Dorothy Sandgren and I received initial training on the system
on July 30, 31. At that time we learned that we would have to
provide CSI with a list of which accounts are in various
postal carrier routes in order that we might continue to take
advantage of lower postal rates by mailing carrier route
presort. Additionally we learned that the system would print
meter route sheets, which we do not presently receive, which
would prove to be a great time saver when conducting the
annual meter reading and inspection program each fall.
Naturally, a route number had to be assigned to each account.
The system to system conversion of customer files should be
completed during the first week of October. Dorothy and I are
scheduled to receive additional system training on October 9,
10. After that a parallel run, doing the third quarter
billing on both the old and the new system, will be performed
to test the accuracy of the new system. If that test is
successful fourth quarter bills should be produced on the new
system.
Accounts Payable
' On September 17 Mary Tatarek, Shamim Sabur and I received
training on the Accounts Payable system. Installation was
completed September 26. Finance Department Staff is in the
process of building -dor files on the system. Ile hope to
have the system operz gal by December 1.
Parks & Recreation Registration & Scheduling
Parks & Recreation staff, Jim Stern, Management Advisors,
Inc. and I have had several meetings during July and August
with CSI programmers to develop specifications for a
registration system. After the specifications were completed
CSI presented file layouts which were reviewed and modified.
At the present time CSI programmers are writing and testing
the program. Delivery of the program is expected in early
November. After training it is anticipated that the program
will be operational December 1.
A facilities scheduling system is also being purchased. This
system will basically schedule games for team sports at
various fields and facilities. Scheduled implenentaion of
this system is January 1.
Cash Receipting
The cash receipting system will be used to record both over
the counter and mail receipts received by the City. The
system will generate a printed cash receipt which may be given
a customer. That feature will be a time saver as presently
receipts are issued manually. In addition the system will
Page 4

interface with other systems and will post receipts to the
Utility
Billing
Fund
and
perationalMarch
ciig systems. This
system isscheduled tobe
Payroll
The payroll system is scheduled to be implemented April I.
This date was chosen because it is the beginning of a new
calendar quarter and we are required to submit quarterly
reports of tax withholdings. No additional expense will be
incurred running payroll after December 31 because payroll is
run on our IBM PC, the program was purchased two years ago,
and the software maintenance on the system is prepaid until
July 1987.

Another problem is the quality of print produced by the

and Recreation staff is concerned that the print quality is
^, not satisfactory for correspondence and for use in submitting
copy of the newsletter to our printer. The printers purchased
for use in word p-ocessing are dot matrix printers that have a
correspondence quality mode as distinguished from letter
quality printers that produce their print from a daisy wheel
that has typewriter style elements on it. Staff has contacted
CSI regarding this problem and requested that they inspect the
printer to determine that they are properly adjusted and
producing the best quality print they are capable of
producing.
On the positive side staff has been pleased with the quality
of service that has been received from CSI thus far. While
they have assisted many clients in training and conversion
before us their staff has displayed a positive attitude and
been courteous in answering our questions and providing i
assistance to us in learning how to operate the equipment and
use the software.
Should you have any questions or comments please do not
hesitate to contact me.

RE: AMENDMENT OF ITEM P, DECLARE 1969 INTERNATIONAL
TRUCK (PUPPET WAGON) AS SURPLUS PROPERTY AND SELL
TO JOHN BUCKLEY FOR $50.00, CONSENT AGENDA ADOPTED
SEPTEMBER 22, 1986.
Park & Recreation DlteuLor Anderson renegotiated the sate of
the Puppet Wagon for $25.00 after learning that the windshield
was broken by vandals the evening of September 22, 1986. Our
automobile insurance policy has a $250.00 deductiole making it
impractical for us to have had the windshield repaired for
Mr. Buckles. As a consequence of the damage Mr. Anderson
accepted $25.00 rather than the $50.00 authorized by you on
September 22, 1986.
A legal compliance audit is now a required part of the City's
annual audit. It is, therefore, important that the actual
purchase price agree with the amount authorized by you in the
Minutes. In addition the vehicle was a 1966 model not a 1969
n.odel as originally indicated.
RECOMMENDATION: Council authorize the following item for the
Consent Agenda of October 13:
Item - Amend Item P of the September 22, 1986 Consent Agenda

SUrJECT: FIRE HYDRANTS FOR CITY PARKS
(HILLVIEW, LAMBERT AND WOODCREST)
M
Staff requests authorization to spend approximately $4,500
to install 3 hydrants at Hillview, Lambert and Woodcrest
Parks. These Hydrants would be used to flc^-N the r ^ks fcr
the winter ice skating programs. In years past, the jet
rodder was used to flood the rinks. I have determined that
not only was this method expensive, but the quality of the
ice was less than desirable. The installation of these hydrants
alone would save $550 in gas for one year and actually make our
flooding program more efficient. As I have state above, the
cost would be approximately $4,500, but would not exceed this
amount, and the installation would be made by the City crew.
This item was not in the 1986 Budget due to the fact that the
necessity of the new hydrants was not determined until after
completion of the 1986 Budget.
ACTION REQUIRED: Authorize the expenditure of $4,500 from the
Water Department, Account Nos. 700-121-4020 and 700-121-4125
which have the money available.
