RE: VEHICLE & EQUIPMENT REPLACEMENT FUND
The Adopted 1989 Budget established a vehicle and equipment
replacement program. As you may recall all vehicles and
equipment were inventoried and their expected useful lives
determined. Then the amount necessary to set aside each year
in order to have funds on hand to replace each vehicle or
piece of equipment after its useful life expired was
calculated. First year amounts were included in the 1989
Budget. Establishment of a vehicle and equipment replacement
fund was envisioned during the 1989 Budget process. Monies
budgeted anr-ially tor vehicles would be revenues of the fund
and expenditures would be replacement of vehicles and
equipment. A proposed resolution is attached for your
consideration.
In 1988 Council authorized purchase of snow plowing equipment
that is budgeted for 1989. Staff did not request that this
equipment be paid for from the Vehicle & Equipment Replacement
Fund. As a consequence, 1988 General Fund Capital
Ex a m �rngaiy over budget. Staff requests a

First of all, all City Councilmombers and staff should be aware
that workers compensation covers all employees who are aLting in
the course and scope of their employment. This means that elected
officials are not only covered when they sit as Councilmembers at
a meeting, but may also be covered when they are driving in their
car to give a presentation on behalf of the City, when they are
attending a luncheon or meeting relative to
Citybusness, and at
any other time which they are out in the q public
hering
the business of the City of Mounds View.
The term "course and scope of employment" has a very broad and
liberal meaning under the workers compensation act. In legal terms
it means that whenever an employee (or iu this case, an eleCLA
official) is working at some activity which furthers the interest:
of the City of Mounds View, that person is considered in the
"course and scope of employment" for workers compersation purposes.
This would allow workers compensation for an elected official at
almost any time of the day or night engaged in almost any
tpe of
social activity which has some connection to their position
Councilmember for the City Of Mounds View.
Secondlworkers ycompens compensation benefits currently are 2/3should of the gross weekly
income of any injured employee up to a maximum of $392 per week.
The workers compensation rate is determined by taking all lost
gross income and dividing it by 2/3 subject to that maximum. Thfs
means that if a City official is injured in the course and scope
of employment for the City of Mounds View and also has a full-time
job which they cannot perform as a result of that injury, the gross
income from both jobs are added together to determine the
employee's gross weekly wage. The workers compensation benefits
are then figured as 2/3 of the total gross income that the employee
is losing from both types of employment even though the City of
Mounds View contributes a small part of that gross income. The
result is that City Councilmembers and elected officials who have
regular full-time jobs which pay a substantial income, if hurt
while working for the City of Mounds View would quality for, the
maximum (or close to the maximum) workers compensation rate,
whereas those officials who do not have full-time jobs would
qualify at most for the minimum weekly wage currently paid under
Minnesota law.
The third consideration involves the minimum weekly wage for the
City of Minnesota. Currently, if an employee corks full-time and
is injured and earns less than $280 per week, they automatically
get $188 per week tax-free as a workers compensation benefit. All
full-time employees are presumed to get at least the minimum of
$188 per week, even if 2/3 of their gross wages falls below that
figure. on the other hand part-time employees are not entitled
to the statewide weekly minimum. Their workers compensation rate
can fall below the $188 per week and equals 2/3 of their total
gross weekly income from their part-time job.
A situation could arise .in crhich a determination would have to be
made whether a Councilmember or elected official is a full-time or
a part-time employea. If they are considered part-time and have
no regular full-time employment, their gross earnings from a
workers compensation injury would be extremely small. on the other
hand, if they are considered a full-time employee as a
Councilmember and have no other employment, they would at least be
entitled to $188 per week under the current workers compensation
guidelines.
'lastly, I believe the City should define which elected officials
will be provide workers compensation coverage. For example, if it
is only going to be the Mayor and Councilmembers, you should state
specifically that the Mayor and Councilmembers in our ordinance are
covered by workers compensation. If it is to include other
officials who may be appointed at a later date by the City Council
or the City staff to act on behalf of the City, we should enumerate
them in the ordinance. Furthermore, I agree that we should define
what official duties are of any covered officials.
What I would suggest is that the ordinance you draft be expanded
to include a definition of those covered, and a definition of
INN
official duties. For those covered, I would recommend listing the
Mayor and City Councilmembers, whether appointed or elected, and
any other officials which you feel should be covered by specific
designation.
In addition, I would define official duties as any duty which
furthers the interest or business of the City of Mounds View and
is an activity that could not be performed by anyone else other
than the elected official on behalf of the City of Hounds View.
The activity must first of: all be in the best interest of Mounds
View. Going to Perkins to meet another Councllmember from another
City for personal conversation would not necessarily service the
best interest of the City of Mounds View, but even if the official
injured claimed that it did, they would still have to show that the
meeting took place only because of their position as a
Councilmember or official of the City of Mounds View. The
distinction between duties which are performed by elected officials
and those which cannot be performed by the general public in Mounds
View is a crucial distinction which should be worded into our
ordinance.
Please let me know if you will redraft this or if I should do it.
Yours truly,
Mark A. Barney

SUBJECT: EXEMPT EMPLOYEE WORK HOURS
Prior to the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) being applied to local
government, the City had allowed salaried employees to earn comp time
and take the time off as authorized by their Department Head. Salaried
employees include the Clerk -Administrator, Department Hcads, and all
professional and supervisory staff. When FLSA went into effect, the City
initially interpreted this as preventing our exempt (sa1aried) employees
from earning comp time. As a result, our Personnel Code under 6.31,
Sub.S, b. prohibits compensatory time from being given to exempt
employees.
Information from the City's fiscal consultants and other sources reveals
that this interpretation is incorrect and that the City can, if it so
chooses, allow exempt employees time off for hours worked in excess of
the 60 hours required during a payroll period. In fact, the City's
Personnel Code under 6.37, Sub.6, (1) provides that a Department Head,
with the approval of the Clerk -Administrator, may allow an employee to
r",iate from the standard 8 hour work day as workloads demand.
In the past it has been my practice to allow Prwmnt Pmntmyees to daviatp
from the standard 8 hour day in recognition of night meetings and ether
job requirements that cause them to work evenings and weekends. A
problem has arisen in that some employees feel that time sheets should
reflect an 8 hour day and 40 hour week and no clear policy exists that
allows deviation from that.
I would nropose an Admiristrativ_ Policy or a policy by resolution of
the City Council that provides that, in recognition of the fact that
exempt employees are frequently required to work cutside of the standard
work day, Department Ho.d= and the Clerk -Administrator are allowed to
authorize work days of less than 8 hours for exempt employees as long as
that employee records at least 80 hours during the pay period using a
combinat,on of regular hours, vacation and sick leave.
The choice to allow an employee to come in late in the morning because
of a late evening meeting the night before or to leave early one day
would be the decision of the employee's supervisor. I don't feel any
clear cut guidelines could be written to guide the supervisory in this
matter except that the privelege should not be abused and the employee
must be able to get their job done before any consideration should be
given to time off. Ultimately, the employee must be able to get their
job done and take whatever time is necessary to do it in an acceptable
fashion.
E';sentially, I am requesting direction on two items. The first is
whether or not you agree with the idea of letting exempt employees have
felxibility in their working hours. The second is the form the policy
should take, i.e. an Administrative Policy or a policy by resolution of
the City Council.

MEMO TO: City Council
FROM: City Planner Herman
DATE: February 22, 1985
SUBJECT: TAX FORFEITED LANDS
Attached is'a staff report on the proposed acquisition of the tax
forfeited parcels in Mounds View. This report combines inrut from
Clerk -Administrator Pauley; Parks, Recreation and Forestry
Director Saarion; Public Works Director/City Engineer Minetor;
Finance Director Brager; and myself. Each participant was asked
to comment upon their particular area of expertise and upon the
draft document as a whole.
In general, it was my feeling that the Staff should present t+e
feasibility of the proposed use for the parcel. IZ this use did
not seem feasible other options were explored. It did not seem to
be appropriate to encourage purchase except in the case of Parcel
C for the stated reasons. Acquisition and use of these parcels is
a policy decision by the Council which must be weighed against the
loss of funds used for acquisition.

MEMO TO: Clerk -Administrator and City Council
FROM: City Planner Merman
DATE: February 15, 1989
SUBJECT: TAX FORFEITED LANDS
In the recent past, various Councilmembers have expressed interest
in acquiring tax forfeited lards located within the City. Various
uses have been proposed for each of the parcels. The feasibility
of these usas versus the cost of acquisition will be discussed in
the following:
Parcel A
Parcel A is a triangular shaped wetland measuring 1.63 acres. The
County has appraised the property at $1,400.00, although the
intended use by the City is to have it remain vacant. At the
present time this property is rendereG unbuildable by the City's
wetland ordinance as the entire parcel is contained within the
wetland or its buffer. It is because of the wetlands designation
that the City may wish to purchase the property.
In th= future, wetland parcels, especially those in private hands,
�..✓ may need to be acquired under threat of the taking issue. Until
the City's ordinance is overturned in court or a legal opinion is
rendered on the issue of taking, it has been assumed that the City
would not be purchasing wetlands. he City may be setting a
precedent by obtaining this wetland.
Potential costs to the City over and above acquisition costs may
be the maintenance of the wetland area. It is reasonable to
assumL. that nearby residents will expect City maintenance of the
wetland occur upon discovering new ownership. Maintenance would
be hampered by lack of funding for clean-up and no public access
to the site. Potential benefits may include enhancement of the
wetland which may produce better storage capacity and aesthetic
and natural improvements.
Funding for acquisition costs may be obtained from the General
Fund or more appropriately, the Storm Water Management Fund.

Parcel B
Parcel 8 is a combination of three land -locked lots totalling .75
acres. The County has appraised this parcel at $23,500.00; each
lot being appraised at approximately $7,800.Oo. Presently, the
lots seem to be of little value except to the adjacent property
owners who could extend their back lots. There is the potential
to develop these lots at a future date if a road were extended
mid -block. -This issue will be briefly discussed later.
The proposed use for these lots is a nursery area. The City
Forester has reviewed this proposal and has made the following
cast calculations:
Tree purchase (S00 evergreens)
Maintenance (labor - planting, water, $ 120.00
mulching, etc.)
640 hours at $7.50/hour (average) 4 800.00
Materials (chemicals, fertilizers, signs) 400.00
Harvest and transplanting
280 hours at $7.50/hour x 2 4,200.00
TOTAL $ 9,520.00
AVERAGE $32.70/Tree
This figure dces not take into account the cost of acquisition nor
the salary of an additional staff member to run the n,irsery, It
that cae nurser would
trees approximate) eight y Produce 300 transplantable
Y 9 years later.
Potential costs to the City may be the conflicts which could arise
between the City and adjacent neighbors. It seems that these
residents have been using portions of this open space as their own
lawns. Another monetary cost, and perhaps political, may be the
placement of an access road into the interior lots. In
conclusion, it was felt by the Parks, Recreation and Forestry
Department that without monetary support for all facets of the
nursery implementation: supplies, land and laeor costs, it would
not be feasible for the Department to carry out this proposal.
An alternative use for a portion of the property was suggested by
City Engineer Minetor. It was suggested that an additional road
easement be obtained from Lots 8 and 9. While this acquisition
would produce a curved road accessing the interior of the block,
it would reduce the need to purcnase right-of-way from the eastern
edge of 7853 Long Lake Road.
There are two possible funding sources for purchase of these
parcels depending upon the use of the property. If the lots were
used as a nursery the funds could come out of the Park Improvement
Fund. If the City obtained a portion of this property for road
right-of-way the Silver Lake Woods Project Fund could be used.

Parcel C
Parcel C is a 30 foot wide strip of land amounting to .08 acres.
The County has appraised the property at $400.00. This parcel
would provide for a future roadway to the mid -block. It would be
possible to put in a road along the block bounded by Hill-
Road, Long Lake Road, Woodlawn Drive and Sherwood Road, as the
lots on the block are large enough to subdivide. It would seem
that the coat of acquisition is minimal and may benefit the
City in the long run to purchase this property.
This property could be purchased using funds from the Silver Lake
Woods Project as it is an eligible expense and there is monies
available.

CParcel D
Parcel D is a combination of two lots totalling 2.7 acres. It has
been suggested that these lots may offer an opportunity to access
a large undeveloped area mid -block. City Engineer Minetor has
briefly reviewed this issue and feels that a cul-de-sac could be
introduced into the block at this point. Future extension may be
pos3ible to -access the back portions of the deep lots on County
Road H-2 and Woodale Drive.
The Council may wish to discuss what policy direction they would
feel comfortable initiating. Several options are available to the
City:
1) The City could obtain these lots and devise a plan for
future development. Further development could be City
initiated or privately directed.
2) The City could obtain the parcels and find a developer who
would purchase the lots and put together the project.
3) The City could do nothing allowing the County to keep the
parcels.
It would seem that there is a question of planning ahead for the
A) City's future and what direction that future may take.
Tee
The Council may wish to look into the feasibility of this road
extension. It may be prudent to have Staff review the economic
feasibility of this project while the Council read the political
feasibility.
Funding for the acquisition of these parcels, appraised at
$11,800.00 could COMP from the Silver Lake Woods Project Fund.

they were. She explained the request had come before
the City as a result of Kraus Anderson having a
potential tenant for the Silver View Plaza. The
Planning Commission has reviewed the ordinance and
recommended the conditions noted be included.
Mounds View City Council
Reoular Meeting
Bob Carpenter, 2650 Lake Court Drive, stated 27-30
people from the area were present who were not in
favor of this, with their main concerns being noise
and traffic. He stated he was opposed to havino
something likc this open u,.
Dave Lockna, no address given, stated he was president
Of the homeowners association of Silv<_r Ldke Woods,
and they all strongly agree they do not want such a
facility in their neighborhood.
Charlie Grovel, property manager of Silver View Pleza,
explained this request was brought to the City as the
result of having a potential tenant who ended up going
elsewhere because this use was not allowed in a B-2
zone. He added the conditions are their idea, and
the limitations would allow the type of business they
want to see in a B-2 zone, which would be retail and
the selling of accessories and clothing. He added
they do not currently have an applicant trying to
get into the center, but are planning for the future.
He added Kraus Anderson does not want a tenant who
would not be good for the center, and they want a
clean operation.
George Vahn, 2648 Lake Court Drive, stated history is
�- repeating itself, in that an operation similar to this
was brouatlh i�t^ an—ty-r ;y`il`uuL11000i over the resi-
dents objections, and even with similar conditions as
those that are proposed, within 4 years the neighbor-
hood had serious problems with motorcycle gangs, and
lower property values.
Jack Crowley, 2566 Mounds View Drive, stated that even
if it is just parts sold, people will arrive on
motorcycles and ruin the neighborhood.
Mr. Masanz, 2626 Lake Court Drive, asked why the
rezoning was being requested if there no lodger is
a tenant interested in moving in.
City Planner Herman explained it would be for potential
future tenants.
Mayor Hankner stated Kraus Anderson has come before
the Council several timeu asking for sl;cht changes
in the Code to all certain businesses in. She
explained anyone can come in at any time to request a
change in the Code, at which time a zoning change goes
before the Planning Commission, who reviews it and
makes a recommendation to the Council. It is up to
41, the Council to ultimately approve or reject the change.
The public hearing tonight is being held to get input.
She added the Councii needs to hear from the people to
be able to make an informed decision.

Ray Barue, 2570 Mounds View Drive, questioned what B-2
zoning is.
City Planner Herman defined B-2 zoning. the added the
proposed ordinance would be as a conot[16na1 use, and
the applicant would have to eo before the Planning
Commission and City Council before a tenant would be
allowed, and if the conditions are not mat, the
conditional use permit would be revoked.
Councilmember Wuori questioned where the potential
tenant went.
Mr. Grovel explained they had gone to Spring Lake
Park, in the vicinity of 85th and Highway 65.
Catherine Carpenter, 265U Lake Court Drive, stated no
one in Silver View Pond wants to see this change, as
they have too much traffic already. She stated the
people from Dominos Pizza are a problem with the way
they speed through the area, and there is also a pro-
blen with the traffic associated with Burger King and
all the high school students racing there on their
lunch hour and after school.

city Planner Herman explained the intent of the pro- "Zoning"
posed ordinance is to pull similar uses together in
B-2, B-3 and B-4 zoning.
Mayor Hankner explained the process followed for
consideration of an ordinance adoption., She explained
the Council does not have to take action tonight.
They could have the first reading, and if it passes,
the second reading and adoption would follow in two
Weeks.
Clerk/Administrator Pauley read the proposed permitted
uses for 9-2, B-3 and B-4 zoning.
Mrs. Carpenter questioned why Dominos Pizza was allowed
in B-2 zoning.
Clerk/Administrator Pauley stated he would have to check
back through the records, but he believed it was under
bakery and delicatessen. He explained delivery is not
prohibited, and the ordinance was different at ur
Dominos came in. He added he would check it furtf:-Ir
and get back to her.
Mounds View City Council
Regular Meeting
Mr. Grovel explained the idea of Silver View Plaza
is to provide services to the residents, and he had
not been aware of a problem with the Dominos drivers.
He stated he would write to the manager and advise
him to abide by the rules and posted speed limits.
Mayor Hankner closed the public hearing and reopened
the regular meeting at 7:e9 PH.
Councilmember Quick questioned why there was any
hurry to take action if a tenant is not coming in.
City Planner Herman explained that Kraus Anderson has
applied for this, for future use.
Councilmember Blanchard stated the ordinance looks
good with the restrictions that are included, but
without proper policing, it could become a detriment
to the neighborhood.
Mayor Hankner stated she has a problem in supporting
an ordinance change. She added the Planning Commission
did a good job but she feels it is an inappropriate use
within a B-2 zone, and would present problems for the
neighborhood.
;..
Councilmember Quick stated he did not reel it fit
into the B-2 scheme.
Councilmember Wuori stated the Planning Commission
spent quite a while discussing the issue, and they
realized it could be a problem for the neighborhood.
However, if they had denied it at the Planning Commission
level, the applicant would have been granted an appeal.
By making a recommendation to the Council, they have
eliminated a longer process.

parts store in B-3.
Mayor Hankner replied hardware stores are more diverse,
and their primary stock is not related to automobiles.
