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 having
something like this open up.
Dave Lock'na, no address given, stated he was president
Of the homeowners association of Silver Lake Woods,
and they all strongly agree they do not want such a
facility in their neighborhood.
Charlie Grovel, property manager of Silver View plaza,
explained this request was brought to the City as the
result of having a potential tena

as 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 brought into another neighborhood, over the resi-
dents objections, and even with similar conditions as

Jack Crowley, 2566 Mounds View Drive, stated that eve,i
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 longer is
a tenant interested in moving in.
City Planner Berman explained it would be for potential
future tenants.
Mayor Hankner stated Kraus Anderson has come before
the Council several times asking for slight changes
in the Code to allow 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
the Council to ultimately approve or reject the change.
The public hearing toninht is being held to get input.
She added the Council 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 Berman defined B-2 zoninc. )She added the
prcposed ordinance would be as a [onulclona' ose, and
the applicant would have to go before the Planning
Commission and City Council before a tenant would be
allowed, and if the conditions are not met, 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, 2650 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 these is also a pro-
blem with the traffic associated with Burger Ring and
all the high school students racing there on their
lunch hour and after school.

City Planner Berman explained the intent of the pro- "Zoning"

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 B-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 the time
Dominos came in. He added he would check it further
and get back to her.

which were distributed to the Planning Commission at Wednesday's

f"1 MEMORANDUM
Memo Tc :Rim Herman, City Planner
From :Ric Minetor, City Engineer n
Date :February 10, 1989
Subject :Mounds View Business Park South
PUD Application - Concept Plan
I have reviewed this latest submission and refer to my previous
comments on this parcel ( Decemberl, 1988). The City's proposed
Comprehensive Plan update includes a proposed local collector
street through this parcel. This street is also proposed on our
Municipal State Aid System. The Council has been advised of the
proposed development and the need to eliminate this proposed
street. I do not believe this street is critical to traffic
circulation in the area; but, the elimination of the street
combined with this development may increase traffic along
Woodale Drive and Edgewood Drive. The proposal indicates the
increase in traffic to be approximately 240 vehicles per day.
This would not appear to be a problem unless the peak hour flow
is disproportionately high in comparison. I would appreciate a
revision to the traffic analysis to include traffic flows
generated by the site for morning peak hour as well as afternoon
peak hour and daily traffic.
The preliminary utility plan appears adequate for the site,
although I have not performed a thorough analysis at this time. I
am concerned that there be easements or language added to the
plat that indicates the City's right to enter, maintain, repair,
upgrades, or utilize the areas of the sewer and water mains as
ne.;essary.
The preli:ni.na.y drainage plan appears adequate. I do want a
drainage report for this area submitted before the final
development plan. Calculations for the pending areas and
discharge flows should be included. The calculations should also
be shown on the drainage plan sheet as well, at least as to pond
volume and discharge rates.
The wetland alteration plan appears appropriate at a preliminary
level. We should have Barr Engineering review the proposal for
conformance to our code. The DUR, Rice Creek Watershed, Corps of
Engineers, School District, etc. will also need to review and
comment on the proposal.

MEMO T0: MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: CLERK -ADMINISTRATOR
DATE: JANUARY 5, 1989
V
SUBJECT: MUNICIPAL CODE CHAPTER 91 ENTITLED, "ANIMALS"
es ycu may recall, one of the results of the City survey
conducted during the spring of 1988 revealed a high level of
concern by the residents of the City of Mounds View on the
enforcement of our animal control ordinances and the "dog
problem" in the City. In response to this finding, staff
has reviewed Chapter 91 of the Municipal Code which
regulates the licensing and housing of animals in the City
and developed amendments to the Code which we feel will give
greater authority to the Police Department and Community
Service Officer in the handling of problem dogs as well as
clarifying certain sections of our Code and adding sections
that are felt to be necessary for adequately addressing the
issue of animal regulation.
This ordinance has been developed in concert with the Police
Department and Community Service Officer and reviewed by
City Attorney Karney with changes being made at his
suggestion. Staff would request that Council review the
proposed changes to Chapter 91 and provide the staff with
any comments you might have. It is thg h^ne of staff .h_.
the Council will ultimately agree to adopting the proposed
amendments to Chapter 91 in order that they can be
implemented prior to the spring of 1989 which signal& the
start of the animal control problem season.
Your review and comments would be appreciated.

RE: MOUNDS VIEW MUNICIPAL CODE CHAPTER 91
ENTITLED, "ANIMALS"
Dear Mark:
An you probably know, the City of Mounds View contracted for
a citizen survey to be conducted this past spring to measure
the level of satisfaction the residents of Mounds View have
with the manner in which the City operated and to determine
if any issues of conern exist at this time. One of the
issues that was freqnently voiced by residents of being a J
concern to them was with respect to our animal control J
activities. in ligia of these comments, staff has taken the
opportunity to review our animal control ordinance, Chapter
91 of the Municipal Code, and evaluate it in light of the
requirements of other cities in out area which have found to
be helpful in regulating animals,
Enclosed with this letter please find a draft of Chapter 91
showing revisions to the code which staff is proposing at
this time. We would ask that you review the code and the
revisions, in particular, and provide us with any comments
you might have prior to its presentation to the City
Council.. It. is our hope that this item could be presented
to the City Council shortly after the first of the year so
that a new ordinance could be adopted and become effective
prior to the spring of 198:.
Your assistance in this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Very truly yours,

December 20, 1908 OF COUNIEL
Mr. Don Pauley
City of Mounds View
2401 Highway lu
Mounds View, MN 55112
Dear Don:
I. have reviewed the ordinance entitled "Animals" for the
City of Mounds View and I just have a few short comments.
I have not reviowed the statute with the intent of
correcting grammar or misspellings.
Under Subdivision 10, number 2, a Municipal pound may be
established with a poundmaster appointed by the Council.
This is an excellent idea provided the pound is actually
established by the City. However, if the City does not want
to establish its own pound but wishes to use private
facilities that subdivision may run contrary to that. Is it
the intent of the City to have its own pound or are you
going to us a prior facility? If you are going to use a
private facility or think that you may in the future because
of the eypense of having a Municipal pound subdivision 10,
number 2 should be changed.
Under Subdivision 14, it says that an animal will be
released upon payment of fees and to the owner. I think
something should be put; in there that the animal will only
be released to any owner upon adequate proof of. ownership.
I do not suspect this will normally be a problem but it is
possible that someone nay see a dog in the pound and may
come to the pound looking for a dog, find one that they
really like and claim ownership to it contrary to the actual
owner of the animal. The City could have setae liability
then to the owner for release of their dog to someone else.
1 would simply suggest that the last sentence read "the
poundmaster shall release the dog to any owner upon adequate
proof of ownership." Adequate proof could be sworn
Affidavit which I would be happy to draw up for the City.
The poundmaster would have them sign the Affidavit so we
would be removed from any liability for the release of any
dogs or animals.
Lastly, Chapters 91.02, 91.03 and 91.04 have penalty l„_I
provisions. I did not see a penalty provision under 91.01
and would suggest that one be added as.. Subdivision 26 making
it a misdemeanor for violation of the section. Other then
that I think it is an excellent Ordinance.
Yours truly,
Mark A. Rarney

MEMO TO: MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
FROM: CLERK-ADMINISTRATO
DATE: JANUARY 20, 1989 60
SUBJECT: EMPLOYEE LEAVE POLICY
As you may recall, the current leave policy for employees of
the City of Mounds View is as follows,
Sick Leave - earned at the rate of 1 day per
month to a maximum 120 days. 501
of unused sick leave is given to
employees as severance pay aft<_r 10
years of service.
Vacation - Vacation time is earned at the following
rates:
1-5 Years 10 days
After 5-10 years 15 days
After 11 years 16 days
After 12 years 17 days
After 13 years 18 days
After 14 years 19 days
_ After 15 vears 20 days
(^ Employees are allowed to carry over from
one year to the next without Council
approval 10 days plus the amcunt accrued
during the previous year.
Over the past years there has been infrequent discrssion
among the Management Team and the members of City staff
about the possibility of changing this system to discourage
the taking of sick leave when an employee isn't really sick,
to allow employees greater flexibility in the use of the
leave time they are given, and to give an incentive for not
abusing the program. These discussions have nev-r gotten
beyond the stage of just talking about it because no one has
had any specific information regarding practices of other
cities c, organizations nor a detailed proposal for our
ccnsideration.
In a recent conversation with Bill Hunt, Assistant to the
Fridley City Manager, I learned that Fridley implemented a
change in their leave policy in 1982 which was agreed to by
all of their unions, including Teamsters 320, which
represents our Police and I.U.O.E. Local 49, which
represents our Public Works employees. Essentially, what
they did was to go from a leave program like the one we have
in place at this time to a program where each employee
receives an annual leave allowance that they can use for
vacations or when they are ill, both sick and injury on
duty.
MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
PAGE TWO
JANUARY 20, 1989
In addition, Fridley implemented a short term disability.
insurance program for all cmployees funding it from the
savings they experience from the change in their leave
policy.
The leave program for the City of Fridley is as follows:
2. Annual leave will be earned at the rate of,
1 - 7 Years 18 days
8 - 15 Years 24 ddys
After 15th Year 26 days
2. Employees are allowed to maintain a balance of no
more than 30 days in their leave account.
3. After 7 years employees will be able to cash in 3
days of leave per year and 5 days after 15 years.
4. Upon separation from employment, the employee will
be able to cash in all of their unused leave.
5. The City provides each employee with a short term
disability (90 days) insurance policy at no cost to
the employee after their probationary period.
Fridley also developed a rathar rnMpI4r,tei -eructura for
their employees to use in switching over to the new system
and each employee had the choice of doing so or remaining
with the old system. Besides the reasons previously listed
in this memorandum, Fridley elected to make this change
because their reserves for leaves were becoming a
substantial financial commitment which they were having
difficulty maintaining.
The City of Mounds View, as you may know, maintains a
substantial reserve account for unpaid vacation and sick
leave accrued by our employees. A change in our policy
substantially reduce these reserves allowing cash to be used
for other purposes such as reserves that are currently not
adequately funded or funding non -recurring expenses such as
capital purchase. Also, the current system the City of
Mounds View has in place does not necessarily discourage
abuse of sick leave and vacation rllowances and does not
provide any incentive for employees not to abuse the
vacation and sick leave. Employees frequently are of the
opinion that they might es well use it, otherise, they may
loose it. In the recent past we have had some employees who
have abused their sick leave and after counseling by their
Department Heads have rectified that situation. Other
MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL
PAGE THREE
JANUARY 20, 1989
employees have not necessarily agreed with the counseling
they have received and, therefore, have continued to draW on
their sick leave on a regular basis leaving no balance when
they must be absent for legitimate purpose .
The purpose of this memorandum is not to cause for you
tthat
make a decision to change the system, but to
the Management Team has discussed this matter based on the
information I have previously provided and is recommending
that the City Council refer this item to the Employee
Relations Committee for their evaluation and consideration.
The committee could be directed to review the information
provided, consider the feasiblitiy and advisability of
modifying our employee leave policy and the acceptability of
such modifications by City staff in making a recommendation

MEMO TO: MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL

DATE: JANUARY 11, 1181
SUBJECT: EMPLOYEE TRAINING
Although the City has never had any reason to believe that
the employees who operate City vehicles are not skilled
drivers, we must always be aware of the fact that our
employees are out on the streets operating City vehicles and
could potentially be involved in a vehicular accident. Like
most people, our employees should be going through regular
driving courses to hone cheir skills and place emphasis on
the fact that the City wants our employees to be safe
drivers.
Ir, view of these basic philosophies, it is the recommenda-
tior of myself and the Management Team that the Council
authorize contracting with the Minnesota Safety Council for
a defensive driving course for all of our employees who
regularly operate municipal vehicles, except licenses police
officers. The course is an eight -hour seminar taught by
a certified instructor in our facilities over a two to three
day period. The cost for the seminar is $500 for a maximum
of 25 employees plus travel expenses. The $500 charge
includes instruction and all materials related to the
course. Attached for yn„r information is material provided
by the Minnesota Safety Council in response to our inquiries
regarding a defensive driving course.
Staff would request Council approval of this employee
training activity.

RAY.SEY COUNTY RECYCLI77G It1PLEl1ENTATION STRATEGY LQ
I. INTRODUCTION
This docLment has been produced to fulfill the requirements of
Minnesota Statute 473.803, which requires that the metropolitan
counties develop an implementation strategy for recycling and
composting. Since the Rams_Qountv master Plan = Solid t9Aste
Management provides most of the required details, this Be
Iycling
lmRlementation Strategy presents refinements to Ramsey County's
recycling and composting programs. These refinements will help
guide the development of recycling and composting programs
through 1991.
The main body of this document explains policies recently adupted
and how each policy fits into current and future plans. Informa—
tion on future costs is also presented. The Ramsey County [•faster
ply iqt bvlid Waste M,nag9== contains further informa*ion on
current policies and plans.
II. BACKGROUND
A. Requirement for Strategy Development
MN Statute 473.803 requires each metropolitan county to submit to
the Metropolitan Council a Recycling implementation Strategy (the
Strategy). The Strategy is required to:
1. Be consistent with the Ramsey CognSX Master Pla; LU Solid
Waste Management.
2. Identify the materials (commercial and residential) that will
be recycled, including at least yard waste and three other
materials.
3. identify the responsible parties and the methods for
recycling and composting.
4. Determine the needed funding levels and methods to ensure the
continuation of local recycling in both the short and icng
term.
B. Additional Background
The following points have signifinant bearing on the development
of tha Recycling Implementation Strategy:
1. The Ramsey County. Plaster 21m fD.E BQlid H45i1 ManaoemPn�
(the Solid Waste Master Plan), adopted February 23, 1987,
contains the following relevant policies:
a. The County will be responsible for organizing the curbside
recycling program. The County may delegate this responsibil-
ity to the municipalities.
b. The County will provide the necessary funding to support the
basic County recycling program. The County should explore
ways of combining curbside collection with organized garbage
collection as a method of imprcving efficiencies and
reducing costs.
C. The County will facilitate voluntary waste generator
participation to the maximum extent possible.
d. The year 1990 will be used as the deadline for cities to
show substant!al progress toward meeting their goals. If by
the end of 1990 a city is not meeting their goals, then a
mandatory ordinance will be enacted.
2. The metropolitan Council's Solid Waste Management Development
Guide/Policy Plan is currently under revision, a process
which is expected to take until mid-1989. Changes in the
Policy Plan may require that changes be made in our Solid
Waste Master Plan, as state law requires that these two
documents be consistent.
3. A yard waste ban has been enacted by the State Legislature.
Effective January 1, 1990, yard waste is banned from the
solid waste stream. This provision appears to be so broad as
to apply to everyone, so that neither residents, garbage
haulers, nor NSP can legally handle yard waste as part of -
the solid waste sLzea,o after that date. Haulers may,
however, separately collect yard waste for delivery to
a compost site or facility.
4. Ramsey County is one of four counties that the Metropolitan
Council feels should adopt a mandatory recycling
ordinance. This is the result of their conclusion that Ramsey
County did not meet the sourc: separation (recycling and
composting) goal for 1987. At the time of this conclusion,
however, very little data was -available on recycling by the
commercial/industrial sector (which generates over half of
the County's solid waste). Ramsey County has recently
provided more data on recycling by this sector.
III. POLICIES
The following policies were adopted to provide the basis for the
Recycling Isp'ementation Strategy:
A. Opportunity to Recycle

opportunity to recycle. This opportunity must include curbside

Policy Statement: Ramsey County will continue the current
strategy, where increasing disposal costs are encouraging
additional recycling by the commercial and industrial sector.
Greater technical assistance will be provided to ensure that this
sector is well-informed as to advantages and opportunities in
recycling. Staff will estimate commercial and industrial
recycling levels by using available date and gathering additional
information as time allows.
IV. ELEMENTS OF THE RECYCLING IMPLEME11TION STRATEGY
A. Residential Recycling Programs
Opportunity to Recycle
Policy Statement, All citizens of Ramsey County should have the
opportunity to recycle. This opportunity must include curbside
recycling for single-family homes and also a system for multi-
family units. The cities must establish programs for curbside
recycling and must also address multi -family units. At their
option, a city may require owners or managers of multi -family
units to provide a recycling system rather than have the city
itself be responsible for establishing a program. If a city fails
to meet the requirement for establishing an acceptable curbside
recycling program by March 1, 1989 (or maintaining it after that
date); or fail: to establish or require an acceptable system for
multi -family units by February 1, 1990, then Ramsey County should
establish these programs and charge the city's residents for it
through the recycling service charge. By 'acceptable', these
programs must collect the following materials at least once per
month: newspaper, glass and cans. All cities and townships who
have greater than 50% of their residents in Ramsey County are
included in this policy.
This policy is partially a statement of current policy as
contained in the Solid Waste Master Plan and in the recycling
program guidelines. The new elements in this policy are the

Mandatory Source Separation
Policy Statement: A mandatory source separation ordinance will be
enacted for cities who fail to meet their source separation goal
for 1990 and thereafter. These goalsare sWshownaste Nonaoemen35 of the

This policy is consistent with the current policy as desgribed in
the Solid Haste Master Plan. The Master Plan states "the year

time for establishing ve
programs and dem-nstrating whether
voluntary participation will achieve goals. It is important to
allow the cities tine and flexibility to develop their programs
so that they can find the combination that works best for them.
The goals for each c;t are shown in Attachment 1.
Experience with over 500 programs nationwide indicates that there
are five factors which increase participation in curbside recy-
cling programs. These are: 1) convenient collection schedules;
2) household recycling containers; 3) continuous public education
effortsi 4) economic incentives; and 5) mandatory source
separation ordinances. Evidence shows that cities with mandatory
programs, but without convenient collections and a strong public
education program, will not achieve acceptable participation
levels.
Public education is important for both voluntary and mandatory
programs. When a mandatory ordinance is adopted, a strong public
education program must also be implemented. If people are
expected to cooperate, then they must be informed as to reasons
for the ordinance and the penalties associated with it. Even with
an aggressive educational effort, however, some type of
enforcement must to conducted or results will be nominal.
Afier careful examination, Ramsey County staff have concluded
that the ability to enforce a mandatory source separation
ordinance is very limited without organized or municipal garbage
collection. At this time, there are no municipal collections in

The Ramsey County Master Plan subscribes to the theory that
participation must be built first through efforts in public
education, containers, and increased collection frequency. Once
these program components are in place and if a city is still not
meeting their goal, then the Master Plan calls for consideration
of a mandatory ordinance. The Master Plan calls for this
evaluation to take place in 1991. This schedule allows time to
demonstrate whether voluntary efforts will achieve the recycling
goals.
The Metropolitan Council has recently recommended that Ramsey
County adopt a mandatory source separation ordinance by January
1, 1989. The main difference between the Metropolitan Council
recommendation and the current policy in the Master Plan is the
timing of implementation. Ramsey County staff believe that
promotion and public education, convenient collections, special
containers, and economic incentives through volume -based fees
will increase participation so that the source separation goals
will be achieved with voluntary programs. if not, then a
mandatory source separation ordinance should be adopted, but only
when:
- voluntary participation has been given an adequate chance;
- there is some method for enforcement; and
- sufficient forewarning has been given to allow the implemen-
tation of a major promotional effort explaining the ordinance.
To allow time to address the problems with a mandatory ordinance,
Ramsey County has adopted the Opportunity to Recycle policy with
an effective date in early 1989, with mandatory ordinances
enacted in 1991 for cities not meeting the 1990 source separation
goal. This approach is consistent with the Solid Waste Master
Plan. If a city should decide that they need to adopt a mandatory
ordinance before 1991 in order to meet their recycling goals,
this would still be consistent with Ramsey County's plans. For
instance, it appears that the City of Saint Paul may adopt a
mandatory ordinance with an effective date in the fall of 1989.
Although it is unknown at this.time what form tks ordinance may
take, much of their discussion to date has focused on the need
for containers and incentives for increasing participation. These
are components that Ramsey County has determined to be necessary
for an effective recycling program (see discussion below) and so
Saint Paul's intentions are very consistent with the County's
plans. Ramsey County staff will be monitoring Saint Paul's
progress in developing and enforcing such an ordinance.
Frequency of Collections
Policy Statement: Curbside recycling programs should be conducted
on a twice -a -month basis or provide a similar level of
convenience. This goal should be met in 1990.
40 Curbside collection should be conducted twice -monthly at a
minimum, Twice-nonthly collections will be needed to provide a

to different ideas which may
meet the needs of a certain city. Cities which have begun their
curbside program with once -monthly collections should target 1990
as the latest date to begin twice -monthly collections.
The financial impact of this policy will result in the need for
an additional $226,700 in Ramsey County's 1990 recycling grants
budget. This figure i-- pr
cost for ojected from an estimated additional
twice -monthly collections in 1990 of $3.73 per year.
Note that it appears that almost all of the cities will actually
meet this goal in 1989, since their proposed budgets (!eceived
after this policy was developed) almost universally request funds
for twice -monthly collections.
Containers
Policy statement: Ramsey county will provide 50% funding for
' usehold recycling containers and distribution costs. The cities
should be responsible for purchasing and distributing the
containers. Funds for containers should be made available to
cities through the recycling grants.
As discussed above under frequency of collections, it appears
that both twice -monthly programs and containers will be necessary
for Ramsey County to ;meet recycling goals in the future. Although
the results of the 1988 pilot program in containers are not yet
available, data from existing programs in Ramsey County and on
containers from other areas indicates that both twice -monthly
collections and containers will be needed.
The containers for the pilot program were just recently
distributed. In Saint Paul, the containers were dropped off at
households on the weekend of October 15, and in North Saint Paul
and Little Canada they were distributed a week later. Initial
feedback indicates that the containers were received very well.
The cost per household for this program was $9.88 per set of two
containers, plus $1.62 for distribution and brochures.

conducted in 1989, as greater staff time will be available for
next year due to the hiring of a Recycling Information
Specialist. This staff person will be able to spend time
contacting groups, developing brochures and encouraging
commercial and industrial recycling.
Funding of. Curbside Recycling Programs
Policy Statement: Ramsey County will continue to provide 100%
funding for curbside recycling until cessation of funding on
December 31, 1990.
This policy is consistent with the current plans as shown in the
Solid Waste Master Plan. The purpose of this 'temporary' funding
is to demonstrate that curbside recycling can be successful while
county staff work with the cities to develop long-term funding
methods. The suggested method of long-term funding is an
integrated waste management system which includes organized
garbage collection. This would allow the use of avoided disposal
costs created by reductions in the residential waste stream. An
integrated system would provide permanent, effective funding for
recycling and yard waste programs, along with providing many
other benefits.
If a city fails to develop a long-term funding system by the end
Of 1990 (when the county grants cease) then Ramsey County's 1h
fallback position will be the policy on the Opportunity to
:Recycle, which states that Ramey County will operate recycling
program if a city fails to do so. This will require continuance
of the recycling service charge on the property tax statements.
Presumably, most or all of .he cities will not want the County to
run their programs for reasons of local self-control and
flexibility. Also, development of an integrated system would be
much less expensive to the residents of that city than a separate
:barge for recycling on the property tax statements. Ramsey
-ocnty staff will be working with the cities over the next two
years to develop integrated waste management systems. A separate
position paper on integrated waste management systems will be
developed and brought to the County Board soon.
Anti -Scavenging Ordinance
Policy Statement: Ramey County recommends that cities adopt
anti -scavenging ordinances.
Scavenging of materials set out by households for a curbside
recycling program harms the program by causing a loss of revenue
and so should be treated as a crime of theft. People who scavenge
materials take high -value aluminum cans, which causes a loss of
revenue for the collection contractors. This increases the

C. Commercial and Industrial Recycling
policy Statement: Ramsey County continuewill are encouraging
strategy, where increasing disposal costs
additional recycling by the commercial and industrial sector.
Staff will estimate commercial and industrial recycling levels by
using available data and gathering additional information as time
allows. Greater technical assistance should be provided to ensure
that this sector is well-informed as to advantages and
opportunities in recycling.
In 1989, staff will increase activities undertaken to encourage
C/I recycling. This increase will be possible due to the hiring
of a Recycling Information Specialist. Another additional staff
person will be hired to work largely on C/I recycling. It is
anticipated that, with additional technical assistance and
icr/I sector
willachievelevel of recycling V encourage at wllmetthe
eiiethe C
llchieverecycling
goals for this sector.
Activities to be undertaken in 1989 and 1990 will include:
.,rma,,;mations, including chambers of commerce,
Lion's Clubs and others, to 'spread the word' on the cost saviAga
possible through recycling.
- conducting seminars to distribute information on the
reasons for and methods of recycling.
- promoting awareness through general publicity campaigns.
- encouraging 'piggy -backing' on the residential recycling
routes, as a number of small businesses are currently doing.
- encouragino, recycling through the volume -based waste
management and ;.olid waste service charges which are placed on
the property tax statements. Because C/I tax parcels are assessed
at one of three rates depending on the amount of garbage
generated on that parcel, many companies have received a
reduction of this charge by implementing a recycling program.
- promoting yard waste abatement by allowing commercial
generators access to the large comncsting operation.
- providing support for C\I recycling through the Ramsey
County Recycling Center, where Super Cycle is currently handling
13
C\I materials from a variety of sources. one of these activities
is beverage destruction, for which Super Cycle is licensed to
handle alcoholic beverages and also disposes of other non-
alcoholic liquids. Liquids are drained into the sewer, while the
glass bottles and cardboard boxes are recycled.
- a recycling directory that is currently under development
will be distributed. This directory will be used to encourage the
recycling of office paper, cardboard, glass, yard waste and other
materials by the commercial/industrial sector.
If these efforts prove insufficient to increase C/I recycling to
an acceptable level, a mandatory ordinance will considered. An
ordinance modeled after the Opportunity to ^.ecycle may be
feasible, or a requirement tha_ garbage Saulers p:)vide service
may be considered for adoption by Ramsey County if successful for
other counties. Ramsey County staff will also collect information
form other areas on mandatory source separation ordinances for
the C/I sector, but at this time there appears to be very little
experience to draw upon for this type of ordinance.
V. MATERIALS TO BE RECYCLED
A. Residential Recycling Programs
The following materials will be collected for recycling through
the curbside program: newspaper, glass and cans. These are the
materials required by the opportunity to Recycle policy. Tha
ra vyLa6G, a,. nVllle ai eas may collect aCClltlOndl materials, SUCK a6
waste oil, car batteries, scrap metal and plastic bottles. Most
programs also collect cardboard. In other words, no substantial
changes are being proposed in the materials collected through the
curbside routes.
Maplewood and white Bear Township are collecting plastic bottles
through their curbside recycling programs. white Bear Township's
hauler, Lake Sanitation, collects PET bottles and 11aplewood's
collector, Gopher Sanitation, accepts milk bottles. No data is
available on the cost of collecting plastic bottles through these
curbside programs, but this issue was examined by County staff in
mid-1933 in response to a proposal by the Natioi.al Association
for Plastic Container Recovery (NAPCOR) to add plastic containers
to the curbside routes..
NAPCOR is a trade association formed to pror.,ote the recycling of
Plastic bot•cles. Although NAPCOR's proposal to assis` in
developing a system for collection and marketing plastic
containers appeared interesting, County staff cecided not to
pursue this idea after calculating that curbside recycling of
plastic bottles would cost $500.00 to $700.00 per ton. This
figure is based the additional cost of collection (from Super
Cycle's pilot program in Saint Louis Park) minus expected market
revenues (from NAPCOR). The high cost per ton is, of course, a
function of the low density of the plastic containers and the
%e
relatively large amount of space they take up on collection
vehicles. The City of San Jose, California is working with a
company to to design a portable crusher/shredder for plastic
containers that could be used on collection vehicles. San Jose
41 staff have concluded that, until this equipment is available,
curbside plastic container collection is not feasible. Ramsey
County staff will monitor the progress of these and similar
efforts.
There is currently a crisis in marketing tin cans, which has been
caused by the loss of a local market for this material. It
appears that Super Cycle may be able to resolve this problem by
baling the cans and shipping directly to markets in other states.
It is unknown at this time whether Super Cycle will be successful
in this effort or not, and if they are successful; how much they
will be able to help other companies market tin cans. Super Cycle
has taken tin cans from some of the other curbside collection
companies so that the others have been able to continue taking
these cans. Bence, the situation appears to be sufficiently
optimistic that tin cans can continue to be collected curbside
for the foreoeeable future.
There is als•• a marketing problem that has developed with paper.
In the past, Ramsey County and others have encouraged people to
set out all types of paper for recycling. People have been told
to include junk mail, other non -glossy paper, and phone books
with their newspaper. They have also been told to include 12-pack
cartons, paper towel and other rolls, and cereal boxes with their
cardboard. As the quantity of paper collected for recycling has
® increased, however, what once was viewed as acceptable has
become a significant level of contamination. Contamination
problems with these sorts of paper include the glue used to bind
phone books, windows in envelopes, new types of non -recyclable
packaging such as microwave boxes, and increased amounts of
compk,site packaging which uses mixtures of plastic and other non-
recyclahles with paper.
As paper contamination problems have grown, a number of companies
have requested Ramsey County's assistance in limiting this
contamination in both newspaper and cardboard collected for
recycling. Bence, Ramsey County will be making an effort in the
future to encourage people to set out clean newspaper and clean
cardboard) that is, not to mix in the other types of paper which
are creating problems for the end -markets. Unfortunately, this
means that 'mixed paper' from residential sources is not
recyclable at this time; effectively reducing the amount of
potential recyclables in the residential. waste stream.
B. Yard Waste Progre—,
Yard waste will be abated b both the residential and commercial
sectors. Although most of the yard waste is generated by the
residential sector in Ramsey County, there is a significant
amount generated by commercial/industrial estaolishments and
15
institutions such as schools and churches. All yard wastes will
be abated when the ban on it's disposal becomes effective January
1, 1990.
C. Commercial and Industrial Recycling
The materials targeted for recycling by the commercial/industrial
sector include paper (office and cardboard), glass, scrap metals
of various sorts, waste oil, plastics and cans. All of these
materials are recyclable at this time, including some plastics.
Although only certain types of plastics currently have an
available market, plastics from the commercial/industrial (C/I)
sector are considered more recyclable than 'residential plastics'
because the C/I sector will not experience the high cost of
collecting this material as discussed above for residential
programs. This is because there is usually a large amount of one
type of plastic generated at a business location, and their
plastic may be denser than the used containers generated by the
residential sector. Also, C/I generatfrs can use avoided disposal
costs to at least partially justif, ^ny expense in recycling
plastics (and other materials).

Dear Mayor McCarty:
As you are undoubtedly aware, the 1984 Minnesota Legislature has
directed the Metropolitan Council to select a site for a regional
Olympic -quality speedskating facility. The City of Roseville, through
its Ad Hoc Speedskating Committee, plans to submit a proposal that the
facility be located in Roseville, preferably on the IVoodview site on
Larpenteur Avenue east of Dale Street.
If such a facility is completed, it will indeed be a very big
boost for skaters in the seven -county metropolitan area, as well as all
t skaters in the five -state area, in preparing them for future national,
world find Olympic competitions.
We ate seeking your support for our proposal and are enclosing a
sample resolution for your consideration, and adoption.
In seeking your endorsement, we call your attention to the
following:
1. The IVoodview site is strategically located in the seven -county
metropolitan area.
2. Ye site has convenie-it highway access, being in close proximity
to highways I-351V, 36 and I-35E.
3. The largest local concentration of speedskaters is in the
City of St. Paul and northern suburbs. This area has produced
eight of tie twelve local speedskaters currently on the national
team.
4. The City of Roseville is willing to support the operation and
maintenance of the facility initially until other sources of
funding can be found.
S. Roseville is conveniently located near the Universi�.,' of
Minnesota and otter educational facilities that will per'::

MEMO TO: MAYOR AND CITY COU CI
FROM: CLERK-ADMINISTRATO
DATE: FEBRUARY 14, 1989
SUBJECT: MOBILE HOME PARK EMERGENCY PLANS
The 1988 Legislature adopted legislation which requ*.;;z, .,e
following.
"Manufactured home park with 10 or more manufactured
homes, licensed prior to March 1, 1938, shall provide
a safe place of shelter for park residents or a plan
for the evacuation of park residents to a safe place
of zheltcr ;t,i^ reasonable distance of the park
foruseby park residents in times of severe weather,
including tornados and high winds. A shelter or
evacuation plan must be approved by the municipality
by March 1, 1989. The municipality may require the
park owner to construct a shelter if it determines
that a safe place of shelter is not available within
a reasonable distance from the park."
So fai the Ci.f :ias received approved emergency plans from
Towns Edge and Centennial Mobile Home Parks prior to this
legislation. Mounds View Mobile Home Park did not have an
emergency plan in place and, therefore, was required by the
legislation to prepare one. Since law now allows the City
to determine whether or not a shelter is required, staff is
bringing this matter to you for your consideration at this
time.
It has been the past practice of the City of Mounds View to
make available to residents of mobile home parks in the City
the lower level of City Hall which is automatically opened
at any time that severe weather warnings are announced by
the National Weather Service. In the past this has worked
well for us but as you know the City has avoided any major
tornados for several years. Whether o: not such an
arrangement would work when a severe tornado hits the
community is a question that no one could answer until it
would happen.
Staff is currently requesting direcr:on from the Council as
to the acceptability of the emergency plan submitted and
proposed by Mounds View Mobile Home Park and determinuticn
as to your position regarding our authority to require a
safe place of shelter be constructed by the park owner at
the mobile home park pursuant to the provisions of M.S.
327.20, Subdivision 2, (7).

We have received approval from the Commission= of Transportation
for the revocation of Municipal State Aid designation on a
portion of County Road H in accordance with our request. Thir.
action was taken to allow Ramsey County to designate all of
County Road H as a County State Aid Highway. This revocation

mileage, and considering the requested MTC route change, it
appears that Ardan Avenue between Red Oak Drive and Long Lake
Road would be a logical segment to add to the MSA system.
In reviewing the mileage certificate, I found the City has been
�.• nlai minn 1e�� 10:'.^.i "tr�Ct '�-
._ � ••n .. -- milvcyE tilail eiils Ged. I adjusted tn18
on our 1988 mileage certification to the actual mileage in
accordance with our pavement inventory. MSA mileage is allowed to
be up to 20% of our basic mileage ( total road mileage within the
City limits minus trunk highway and county state aid highway
mileage ). We are currently 1.55 miles below our theoretic
nileage allowance. Ardan Avenue between Red Oak Drive and Long
Lake Road is 0.38 mile in length. We would still be 1.17 miles
below our maximum allowed mileage.
We will be discussing a development_ in the near future which may
require revoking another MSA segment that is currently not
constructed; Jackson Drive south of TH 10. This would increase
our 'undesignated allowable mileage' to 1.45 miles. I believe it
is in the City's best interest to maximize our designated
mileage. Our maintenance and construction appropriations from the
state are based on ou: mileage. The problem at this point is
which streets to designate. Also of concern is the future of Long
Lake Road. At the time of the realignment of County Road 32/
County Road J Long Lakes Road and a portion of 85th Avenue will be
disconnected from the realigned county road. It is almost a
certainty that the county will turn back these roads to the City
at that time.
C
Some of the possible road segments to consider for MSA
designation are listed below:
Program Avenue TH 30 to Co. Rd. H-2
County Road H-2 Quincy St. to Program Ave. .16
Woodcrest Drive silver Lk. Rd. to Long Lk Rd, .47
1.01
Long Lake Road Co. Rd. I to 85th Ave.
85th Avenue Groveland Rd. to Long Lake Rd. .43
The last 2 are currently designated as County State Aid Highways
and are not eligible for MSA designation until the county revokes
the CSAH designation. If We and gnate Ardan the county dovesureas nCSAH

route as discussed above,
designation on the potions of 85th and Long Take Rd. listed, then
we will have only Yenoughcfun 5thlg to allow
andeLong l Lake e Rd. listed
designatiilg hosc po_t:_nE
above.
I recommend we request adding Ardan Avenue to our MSA system at
this time. If the Council agrees, we will prepare a formal
resolution for the next mee�-ing. Other additions can be discussed
as the pending development proposal is reviewed.

�• PARKS, RECREATION AND FORESTRY
DATE: FEBRUARY 6, 1989
SUBJECT: CONSIDERATION OF PURCHASE OF LASER PRINTER FOR
PARKS, RECREATION AND FORESTRY DEPARTMENT
The Parks, Recreation and Forestry Department recently purchased new word
processing software entitled "Nord Perfect, Version 5.0". This software is
quite sophisticated and offers many opportunities for a variety of word
processing functions in addition to different fonts (lettering) and graphics.
The department currently uses a Diablo printer; which is a letter quality
printer using a daisy wheel. This printer worked well with oar last word
proceseing sofcNerc because it did not have graphics capabilities and was
quite limited In functions.
With the new Word Perfect software, out department will have the capabilities
of greatly enhancing the quality and professionalism of our City Newsletter,
flyers, etc. Unfortunately, our Diablo printer will not aceomodate these
fu.ctions.
wrr"
RECOMMENDATION: Consideration for the purchase of a Hewlit Packard laser jet
printer. This is one of the most popular laser printers on the market and
sells for $1,920. It is recommended that this purchase be funded from the
following accounts: $920.00 from '00-4190-343-000 City brochure and
$1,000.00 from the recreation activity account.

Clerk/Administrator Pauley introduced Barb Portwood 7.

Regular Meeting
Mr. Phil Seipp, president of SYSCO/Continental stated
he appreciated the help of the City and Staff in
getting this project moving along. He also thanked
the citizens who showed up at the meetings and after
researching the project, put their support behiau` it.
Jim Casserly, the attorney working with the developer,
explained this was a very complicated project and he
appreciated the help the City had provided. He
stated there were two issues to be resolved yet, one
being the use of the dedicated property. He stated
he felt by specifying those uses as specified in the
provisions of the existing code, and putting them
right in the deed, would be sufficient. He stated
the second item deals with the bond term, and is
not a financial or legal impediment but zolely a
language issue. He explained a 14 year increment
means a 15 year term, and the change in the time of
the bond sale would cut one year of increment off.
He explained they had always assumed 14 years of
increment would be available in doing all their
calculations, and the loss of one year would
present a problem.
Mayor Hankner asked if a 14 year increment had
been calculated from the beginning of the project.
Mr. Casserly replied it had, and that is how they
originally put together the schedule.
Clerk/Administrator Pauley explained that to go
beyond 1.5 years is a policy decision that would
have to be made by the Council. He added the
Council has clearly indicated to Staff that 15 years
in the maximum they would go, and he questioned
whether the Council meant 15 years for the term of
the bond issue or 15 years of receipt of the bond
issue increments, which would add 10 months to the
bond.
Mayor Hankner stated it would still assume 14 years
of increments with an almost 16 year bond.
Mr. Casserly stated that as the available bond
proceeds have come downp they have tried to keep
the total capital at $1.8 million.
Clerk/Administrator Pauley explained the 10 months
would equal $50,000 to $60,000, and the developer
is simply trying to make up the difference.
Ms. Porti,00d stated the cost of the public improve-
ments wlil not exceed $1.8 million, and the developer
will not get the full amount,.as costs will be taken
out first. She stated the sum of the revenue note
and proceeds of bonds to the developer will not
exceed $1.8 million.

Mayor Hanker noted they have worked with the $1.8
million figure from the beginning. She questioned
what would happen if the Legislature changes its
direction on the tax capacity rate.
Mr. Langness explained in going from an assessed
value to tax capacity, a formula was provided* and
if it is changed again. he believes a formula would
be provided again. He added the market value would
not change. He also reviewed the three things
which have occurred, with the market value being
lowered, the tax capacity rate in Mounds View being
composit-ed at 908, whereas it had been estimated at
95%, and the change in the increment.
Mayor Hankner stated the issue to be resolved was
the policy on the length of the bonds and years of
increment, and what it could mean if the Council did
not do it.
Mr. Casserly explained if that happened, they may
want to go back and renegotiate, and could possibly
ask for interest on the advance money they have given
to the City.
Clerk/Administrator Pauley explained this project is
essentially proportionally smaller than the Everest
project, and they need the additional increment to
pay for all the project costs.
Councilmember Quick stated his only concern was to
sta} within the realm of 15routand
he wasofairly
comfortable with extending this
l 10
months.
Councilmember Blanchard stated she had no problem
with the extra 10 months, under the circumstances.
Councilmember Wuori noted the City and developer
have worked hard on the project, with a lot of give
and take in both directions, and she felt the extra
10 months would be a reasonable adjustment.
Mayor Hankner stated she agreed with those comments.
Motion/Second: Quick/Wuori to authorize the Mayor and
Clerk Administrator to enter into a contract for pri-
vate redevelopment by and between the City of Mounds
View and SYSCo/Continental Food Services of Minnesota,
Inc., with the amendment for a16 reimburse the deve-
year bond and
increase the amount the City r

Clerk/Administrator Pauley explained the Council had 9.
previously entered into an agreement with Ramsey
County for recycling, and they must now authorize
the contract with the provider of the recycling
service.
City Pla:;ner Herman reviewed the contract with Super
Cycle, Inc. She explained they would begin picking
lip twice a month in April. She stated the changes
in the contract would be to go to twice a month, and
to include multi family buildings, which will be
brought aboard at the request of the City. She
stated, also, that the prices would be going up.
Mayor Hankner noted they will need to encourage
the residents to utilize this service, and they need
to look at ways to increase the participation rate.
Motion/Second: Wuori/Quick to authorize the Nayor
and Clerk Administrator to enter into the contract
with Super Cycle, Inc. for recycling services in
1989.

Public Works Director Minetor presented an overhead
map of the area, showing the existing MTC route and
the change they are requesting. The new route
would require less turns to be made and would pro-
vide better service to peopla living north of Ardan
Avenue. If the request is approved, the MTC will
be handing out notices to riders on the bus, and
it would be arnounceu or. cable tv. The effective
date requested is April 3.
Public Works Director Minetor stated the condition
of the roadway is the same for the existing route
and proposed new route.
Councilmember Wuori noted that Arden Avenue is a
snow route, which gets plowed earlier, which would
provide the buses with a better surface to travel
on early in the day.

request.
Councilmember Quick noted quite a few home owners
would be affected by this change, and some people
would not be very happy with it.
Councilmember Blanchard questioned whether the MTC
had provided statistics of the number of riders
both north and south of Arlon Avenue who ride that
route.
Public. Works Director Minetor replied they had not.
Mayor Hankner stated the logic seems to be there,
and the only thing missing is the notification of
the people who are living in the area. if the
request was tabled for a few weeks, they could get
public input and still not hold up the MTC on the
April 3 date.
CC Clerk/Administrator Pauley stated if the Council
J tables the
request, they could consider having Staff
or the MTC do something, such
as putting an infor-
mational press release in the
newspaper, to let people
know the change is being considered, and will be
con-
sidered by the Council at their February 13 meeting.

Clerk/Administrator Pauley explained in 1987 the
Minnesota Legislature approved special legislation
that allowed Ra^IaPV County to create a Charter
Commission to consider a charter for Ramsey County.
The Council has reviewed and discussed the draft
chapters at their agenda sessions. He explained
he has drafted a letter to the Chairman of the
Charter Commission, outlining the comments prepared.
Mayor Wankner stated the capital planning and
strategic planning for parks and health and human
services planning seem to be okay, but she foals
that zoning decisions belong with the City, not
with the County. As far as consolidation of
services, she does not know that it is necessarily
more efficient for the County to provide certain
services, and cited sncw plowing as an example.
Motion/Second: Hankner/Quick to approve the draft
letter to be submitted to the Chairman of the
Charter Commission, and La send it to the County.

the Ramsey County Commissioners or the Mounds View
City Council.
Clerk/Administrator Pauley read proposed Resolution
No. 2443, encouraging the construction of a library
in Mounds View.
Jerry Linke, 2319 Knoll Drive, stated the chief
concern at this point seems to be the dollar value,
and he has talked to both Commissioners Salverda
and McCarty. He reviewed statistics available for
the Anoka County Library on Highway 10 and the
overcrowding of that facility, with over 20 percent
of the users of that facility being from Ramsey
County. He noted consideration vas also being given
to locating d library in a school facility and
rev;=wed the disadvantages of such a plan.
Mayor Hankner reported the County has set a level of
expectation for the people of Mounds View for having
a library, and an important issue to consider is the
fact that the residents pay property taxes in this
County for library use, with $120,000 being paid in
1988- If Mounds View residents are being urged or
directed to use the Anoka County library, then their
tax money should be acing Lc. Anoka County, or if they are urged to use Irondale, the library tax
f money should go to Irondale. Mayor Hankner further
suggested the possibility of approaching Shoreview
and New Brighton about pooling resources.
Councilmember Quick noted that at least $a per person
per year is being paid by Mounds View residents for
library use.
Mayor Hankner stated the County is a bureaucracy
out of control, citing their cost9 of snow plowing
as one example, and the library issue as another.
Councilmember Quick questioned how much money had
been wasted already with no results.
Mr. Linke stated the price of the Mounds View land
appears to be a good price, and it might be a good
idea to put money down on it before the owner
receives a better offer.
Mayor Hankner stated the Library Board has not
seriously negotiated with anyone concerning the
Purchase of property for a future library.
