In order to*maximize the input of our fans, we have had a "Name The Team" contest which ended December 15. After only one advertisement, we received suggestions from over 5,500 people! We have derided upon two finalists, and want to ask for your help in choosing the eventual team name. We see your council and the other city councils throughout Minnesota as representatives of all parts of our state. Each council has one vote, and we hope that you will consider the two name alternatives and write us with your choice at the address above by January 9. The majority will rule, and the choice of the most city councils will be our NBA team name. You should know that we have tried to select names which are marketable, consider the personality of our state and its people, and reflect on the geography, recreational opportunities and other unique characteristics of Minnesota. The two choices are: 1. Minnesota Polars, or 2. Minnesota Timber Wolves. Thank you for taking the time to help us choose a name for the NBA team which will soon represent our great state.

This easement was intended to serve as storm water retention pond for these lots with an emergency overflow onto Groveland Road. The subdivision was developed per the requirements of the City and all five lots were built on shortly thereafter. To the best of our knowledge, the ponding and drainage system functioned properly and residents were not experiencing any direct flow of water into their homes as a result of the pond. In 1984, Mr. Rod Kirtz, 2808 Arden Avenue, applied for a permit to build a swimming pool in his rear yard which would encroach on his easement. After receiving unofficial direction from the Planning Commiae.'.n and City Council that a variance would not be hment, Mr. Kirtz suchted thatothelow poolhwouldrbeccompletely withinrthesbuildable ens portions of his rear yard and east aide yard. Also, Mr. Kirtz graded a portion of his west side yard in order that it might serve as a supplementary holding pond due to the filling and addition of impermeable surfaces needed to construct the pool. It should be emphasized that the work performed by Mr. Kirtz did not affect the overflow serviceability of the retention pond in the rear of the five lots. In late October of this year, while the soils correction for the Groveland Park t.nnis courts was ongoing, Steve Rose was approa,thed by a member of the excavation crew and asked if it would be okay to provide a load of the excavated material to Mr. Casey, 2816 Arden, to fill in low spots and top per rdress hiseuch yard. In view of the fact that the City has activity, only major filling or grade changes, Steve Rose said that it would be allright. The next day Steve Rose discovered that more than one load of filin Mr. y's yard and waslhad beingbplacedmindthe areaCofethe easement and the holding material holdingpond. After discussionv with Steve Thatcher on what should be done, Steve Rose and Brian Hoffman met with Mr. Casey and learned that he intended to use the material to regrade his property in order to prevent what he perceived was water from the pond getting into MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL PACE Two DECEMBER 29, 1986 his basement during a rainfall event. (Later surveying revealed that this could not be happening and the likely source was runoff from his roof due to the lack of gutters and settling of the area Immediately around his house.) Staff advised Mr. Casey that he could use what material he needed to provide proper slope around his house and fill in low spots in his yard, the remainder would be removed by City crews. Due to other scheduling considera- tions, the fill was not removed within the next two working days, a weekend intervened between them, and when the crew arrived to remove the material it was discovered that Mr. Casey's neighbors to the west, Mr. Askins, 2824 Arden, and Mr. Buzzell, 2832 Arden, were having fill dumped in their rear yards by a private contractor. I received a call from Steve Rose, Steve Thatcher was absent that day, who asked me if the City had given approval for the filling of the easements. I advised him that we had not, requested that he explain to the property owners that the work was unauthorized and permits would need to be granted before any further work could be performed. NOTE: I later learned that Councilmember Quick had discussed the matter with Steve Thatcher at the prior Council meeting and had been led to believe that no permits would be required. He advised Masts. Asking and Buzzell later that evening of his understanding and the work was begun under that supposition. Since that time, all three property owners have leveled the fill, none of them have applied for permits, and I have interviewed all involved parties in an attempt to determine how the situation got out of hand. Unfortunately, my "investigation" has not led me to any conclusions for blame to be placed instead, I have reached the conclusion that there was no apparent purposeful effort on the part of anyone to mislead or deceive, but that a great deal of miscommunication and inadequate response occurred. I have, however, come to some conclusions which I wish to submit as recommendations in order to deal with this manner in a responsible fashion and hopefully prevent any situations like this from occurring in the future. These recommendations are categorized as "Preventive" to prevent further problems, and "Responsive" to respond to the current situation. A. Preventive I. All exca•tation in the City being done for the City mist be done under contract which includes a provi- sion that disposal of material anywhere in the City be done only upon receiving prior approval from the City. f MAYOR AND CITY COUNCIL PACE THREE DECEMBER 29, 1986 2. Prepare, for annual publication, an article for the City newsletter regarding the requirements of City Code relating to filling and excavation and the need for a permit. B. Responsive 1. Direct staff to, a. Send a letter to all five property owners requesting that they cease any further filling -. and grading. b. Undertake a study of the issue, to be completed by March 1, 1987, addressing the following areas, - evaluate the impact filling has had on the original purpose the retention pond was to serve. - evaluate the impact of the filling on the Arden Drainage Basin storm sewer system. - evaluate alternative solutions to the problem including, removal of fill and regrading to original condition. leave fill as is and provide a positive outlet for the pond. modify grading to provide retention ponds for each individual home or group of homes. leave as is. RECOMMENDATION: Staff would recommend Council approval of the direction outlined above and request authorization to proceed.

ATTEST: Mayor (seal) Clerk -Administrator C� ITEM 8 MEMO TO: Clerk -Administrator and City Council FROM: Director of Public Works/Community Development DATE: December 31, 1986 SUBJECT: RED OAK PARK SUBDIVISION Attached please find the following: 1. Letter from Suburban Engineering dated December 22, 1986. 2. Storm water calculation dated December 22, 1986. 3. Proposed Development Agceement No. 86-78, Exhibit 2A. Existing run-off from the Red Oak Park site flows over land into property with the address of 8180 Eastwood Road. The existing run-off from the Red Oak site ponds in the back yard of this property and seeps into the ground. The calculations dated December 22, 1986, by Suburban Engineering, Inc. are based on the premise that the amount of water leaving the site after development cannot exceed the amount of water leaving the site prior to development. The calculations indicate that the amount of water leaving the site prior to development is 0.33 acre-feet. The calculations also indicate that the amount of water leaving the site after the pond is constructed is 0.28 acre-feet (0.65 acre-feet minus 0.37 acre- feet). (. In addition, the developer is proposing to install a one-way check valve inside the proposed control structure to prevent storm water from backing up into their Red Oak pond from the existing storm sewer. The developer has also verbally agreed to install a 4 foot diameter, 4 foot deep eccentric manhole, with steps as the control structure so that people can work on the check valve when necessary. Check valves have a tendency to clog or stick in the open or closed position from time to time. Page 2 of the December 22, 1986, letter from Suburban Engineering indicates that the water level in the back yard of 8180 Eastwood Road can reach the elevation of 910.17 without flooding the basement of said house. The developer, at my request, is proving an emergency overflow route for storm water from the existing low area to further protect the residents at 8180 Eastwood Road. This is necessary because in the unlikely occurrence of a 1 in 500 year storm, there should be a place for water to flow. The developer is proposing to do this by adjusting the existing manhole located near the north property line of the Red Oak Park subdivision to a rim elevation of 909.5 and provide a drainage swale from the existing low area to this catch basin. To construct the swale on the property at 8180 Eastwood Road, approval from the property owner is necessary. Clerk -Administrator and City Council Page 2 December 31, 1986 At the last Agenda Meeting, the following question was asked. How deep will the water be in the pond during a one year and 100 year storm? During a one year, 24 hour, storm event, the depth of water in the pond will be 3.3 feet provided the check valve is operating properly and the pipe is not clogged. During a 100 year, 24 hour storm event, the depth of water in the pond will be 4.5 feet. There are several ways to reduce the depth of water in the pond. One way is to allow steeper side slopes on the pond. The above calculations satisfy City Code requirements. The City Code is silent in the areas of maximum water depth in the pond, maximum side slope and location of pond (on separate lot or easement). A pond is required by Rice Creek Watershed District (RCWD) because the subdivision sire exceeds 5.0 acres. Rice Creek Watershed district has approved the Developer's proposal. ACTION REQUESTED: Staff looks forward to discussing this issue with you on 10nday night. SWT/bac [®en►a��r►es_ _ SUBURBAN ENEINEERING, ►NE.

The questions stem from the fact .that the existing storm sewer system downstream la undersized, causing water to back-up into the storm sewer network to undetermined elevations. The concern is that during a severe storm, water would back-up into the depressed area designated for the detention of stormwater from the Red Oak site. This would use up some of its storage capacity, forcing some runoff from the site to spill over into an existing low area to the north of the Red Oak site. We feel that the probability of this situation occuring is highly unlikely. However, as a simple and workable solution to this possible problem we propose the following: 1. Provide a one-way check valve inside the proposed control structure manhole to prevent stormwater from backing up into the Red Oak detention area. 2. Demonstrate that there will he no negative impact on the low area to the north of the site in the event of the 100 yr. - 24 hour rainfall. (See the attached calculation summary). 3. Provide a positive over flow route for stormwater from the existing low area to further protect residents from the danger of flooding.1, This will be accomplished by: A. Adjusting existing manhole to R.E. - 909.5 and providing a beehive type catch basin. (See plan sheet) B. Providing a drainage swale from the low area to this catch basin. 6R75 Highway 65 N.E. P.O.

Letter from Ken Weltzin, Ramsey County Director and County Engineer, dated December 18, 1986. 2. Final Feasibility Report for the subject project dated December 15, 1986. 3. Possible funding sources for City contribution dated December 29, 1986 Ramsey County Public Works Department recommends reconstructing County Road I with 4 travel lanes and curb and gutter. The road is proposed to be 46 feet wide with no parking on either side. The entire road surface is proposed to be concrete because two St. Paul Water Utility conduits are located under the proposed road. Ramsey County estimated total cost for the project is $1,631,659.00. The estimated total City contribution is $305,313.00. Possible funding sources for the City's contribution include M.S.A., City Street Maintenance Program, Storm Water Management Fund, General Fund, assessments and the School District. Attachment #3 lists possible funding sources for the City's contribution. Ramsey County policy is that the City shall not utilize M.S.A. Storm Sewer Funds on County Reconstruction projects. Ramsey County requests that the City utilize M.S.A. funds only for sidewalk, traffic signals and right-of-way. Ramsey County asks that the City of Mounds View approve the final feasibility report and authorize the City Engineer to sign the final feasibility report and return said report to Ramsey County. Some issues need further discussion. One issue is, should we install a sidewalk on the south side of County Road I, particularly in the area of Pinewood School? The cost of one 8' wide concrete sidewalk is included in the above cost estimate in the amount of $96,046. A 5' wide concrete sidewalk costs $60,000. If a sidewalk is installed on the south side of County Road I, additional right-of-way will need to be purchased. Ramsey County estimates that the additional cost to purchase this right-of-way is approximately $90,000. The City may be able to acquire the right-of-way for considerably less than that figure. The City will need to acquire right-of-way from the Tom Thumb Store, apartment owners on the south sie of County Road I between Clerk -Administrator and City Council Page Two December 29, 1986 St. Stephen Street and Jackson Drive and the property owners of Mounds View Square. The precise size of the easement cannot be determined by Ramsey County until Ramsey County retains consultants for this project. Mary Saarion is in the process of asking the Parks and Recreation Commission for their input on the location of the sidewalk on County Road I. There are several issues we should discuss on this project. Do we want to assess a portion of this project, and if so, how much? Do we want to negotiate %ith the County to see if we can use some of the City's M.S.A. storm sewer funds on this project? Do we want to approve the final feasibility study while reserving the right to decide where the sidewalk should be located? I look forward to discussing this project with you on Monday night.

As you requested, it is no longer assumed that the right of way on the south side of County Road I will be a uniform 43 feet. Some additional permanent and temporary right of way will be required In order to accommodate the proposed construction. This right of way will be acquired at city expense. 3. The timeline has been revised to show construction as 1987, rather than 1988. This is an optomistic estimate, but one we will try to attain. 4. The sections pertaining to traffic signal participation at County Road I and Quincy Street have been revised, 5. A section on handling traffic during construction has been added. 6. Cost estimates have been revised to reflect traffic signal and right of way changes. 7. Note that the County's public hearing requirements (Public and Agency Involvement) are usually satisfied by a hearing held by the city. Our staff would like Mounds View to consider the provision of a sidewalk on the south side of County Road 1, particularly In the area near Pinewood School, to pr, Je for pedestrians there. Construction of the sidewalk is, of course, a city decision. We look forward to continuing work with you on this project. Kenneth E.

At the end of the summer, Karl had to return to school prior to completing as -built drawings and other Municipal State Aid documentation for the project. Karl. is a very hard worker and performed very well for us this summer. The above work must be completed soon as Karl is the logical person to complete the work since he was closely involved with the project. Karl's wages were $6.00 per hour this summer. Since he has completed all of his schooling and his work has been very good for us, I recommend that we increase his wages to $6.50 per hour.

SWT/bac MEMO TO: Mayor and City Council 13 FROM: Mary Saarlon, Directory Parks, Recreation and Forestry DATE: December 26, 1986 RE: 1987 Budget Changes Due to the re -organization of staff in the Parks, Recreation and Forestry Department, the 1987 '`judget will change in the areas of full- time salaries, part-time salaries, pensions and capital outlay. Tile adopted 1987 budget was written to include the then present staff. Since that time, the re -organ izai; ion of staff has changed as shown below: 1987 ADOPTED Dir. of Parks, Rec. & Forestry Rec./Ath. Supervisor Aquatics Supervisor Secretary 1987 PROPOSED Dlr. of Parks, Rec. & Forestry Administrative Assistant The position of Aquatics Supervisor has been shifted to the part-time fund because the joint powers agreement with New Brighton has been discontinued as of December 31, 1986. For this reason, the position will revert to the past part-time position. The 010,000 reimbursement from New Brighton will not be collected. The duties of Recreation/ Athletic Supervisor and Secretary have combined into the two position of Director and Administrative Assistant. Tile savings difference between the adopted and proposed budget for full-time salaries is $37,797.00. However the difference between the adopted and proposed part-time salaries shows an increase of $11,000.00 because of the addition of a Senior Citizen's/Trips Coordinator and the transfer of the Aquatics Supervisor from full- time to part-time status. Because of the re -organization of staff, the pensions budget also will show a $2,097.00 savings with the elimination of two full-time (Recreation/Athletic Supervisor and Aquatics Supervisor) positions and the addition of two part-time positions (Senior Coordinator and Aquatics Supervisor). -2- 0 Here are the differences in outline form, ADOPTED PROPOSED DIFFERENCE Full-time Salaries 09,797.00 $52,000.00 037,797.00 w Part --time Salaries $ 9,135.00 $20,135.00-$11,000.00 Pensions ^10,602.00 $ 8,505.00 +$ 2,097.00 THE REPORTED SAVINGS IS .............$28,894.00 However, the true savings is $18.894.00 because the adopted budget showed $10,000.00 to be reimbursed from New Brighton for the Aquatics position but since the joint powers agreement has dissolved, this reimbursement will be eliminated. Therefore, the true savings is........................$18,89-1.00 The Parks and Recreation Commission has expressed a desire to use the monies in park capital outlay and improvements to Woodcrest Park, such as the purchase of a play structure. For this reason, the monies have been placed in the capital outlay fund. This concludes the explanation of the shift in monies as a result of the Parks, Recreation and Forestry Department re -organization. The attached sheets will describe the changer in detail. On behalf of the, Parks and Recreation Commission and staff, I thank the mayor and city Council for the opportunity to shift funds in order to use the savings in the parks for the benefit of the community.

In particular, it was the opinion that Aquatics Supervisor Pete Rechtzigel was not providing adequate services to warrant the position. The contract ends as of December 31, 1986 and it is requested that the joint powers agreement be dissolved. It is my opinion that the joint powers agreement did not work for several reasons. 1. The position calls for the supervision of two beaches and two pool programs. Past practice in the City of Mounds view shows that one full-time summer staff person was hired to operate the functions of Lakeside Park beach and Edgewood Community Center no constructed of ol alone.

Unfortunately, it was the expectation that such projects as a pool and beach manual be written, as well as encouraging corporate participation in the pool programs, etc. Needless to say, the summer duties did not lend time for such endeavors. It is my opinion that this was an unrealistic expectation for a summer task. -2- 5. when reviewing Peter Rechtzigel's application, one can see that tie had great experience as a water Safety instructor, Lifeguard and other water operations. However, Peter had no real experience in administrative or programming of activities in a municipal setting. It is therefore understandable that Peter would need the benefits of trial and error that an experienced administrator may not require. This should have been foreseen when Peter was hired. At the present time, Peter feels very frustrated and rightly so. The Joint powers agreement, I feel was unrealistic in expectations and the amount of work responsibility is too broad for one person. It is my opinion that the joint powers agreement is inappropriate for the duties of an aquatics supervisor. I wish to retain Peter Rechtzigel on a part-time basis as Aquatic Supervisor at an hourly salary of $9.13. It is Peter's desire to remain with the City of Mounds View as Aquatics Supervisor until a full-time job opportunity can be found. It is his expectation that he will remain the winter and perhaps Spring quarters but probably will be gone by Summer quarter. RECOMMENDATION To dissolve the joint powers agreement with the City of New Brighton for an Aquatics Supervisor as of December 31, 1986 and to retain Peter Rechtzigel in the part-time postion of Aquatics Supervisor at a salary of $9.13/hour. ew M Ln 11ir ht�n M Decemb r 0, 1986 C Donald Pauley �ECj9aED City Administrator 01 o RECE�v City of Mounds View O �SVtiE� 2401 Highway 10 ty 00 Mounds View, MN 55112 s+,_ a (k Dear Don: The Cities of New Brighton and Mounds View, in March, 1986, entered into a Joint powers Agreement for the purpose of jointly hiring an Aquatics Director. This action was expected to facilitate aquatic program coordination amoung city programs, Mounds View Swim Club, and community and business groups. The New Brighton City Council in approving the agreement stipulated a staff and council review prior to January 1, 1987. This review process has been in progress since mid -September and has included Mounds View staff and the Aquatics Director. New Brighton staff concluded as a result of this review that the program as presently constructed is not meeting objectives. In short, New Brighton is getting essentially the same aquatics servtimelces stafftbutsiseceived for spending anhe past additionalfteen yars $4c000e$5,000tt s part per year. The New Brighton City Council at its December 9, 1986 meeting concurred with the staff recommendation to terminate the areemeconceptnisevalidive and January workable, and87feelshethaty feels that the stafffrom the respective cities should work together during 1987 to explore this possibility of attempting a similar but redesigned program in 1988. The City rs close relationship fwith wthe rCity of Mounds ighton has orview aand ehopesdthatsspirit will continue even though this latest experiment fell short of its objectives.
