16 VII. REPORTS.
17 A. Councilmembers.
18 Thuesen reported his attendance last weekend at a League of Minnesota Cities seminar for newly
19 elected officials. He stated the seminar was definitely beneficial and worth the time. A lot of
20 good information provided.
21 ' Marks reported his attendance at the Sister City Committee meeting last Sunday. It is now
22 anticipated that 30 people will be visiting from Finland. 10 to 15 people are interested in a
23 home-stay. He asked that anyone interested in helping with lodging or providing meals in.their
24 home, please contact him or City Hall. A schedule is being prepared and will be distributed upon
25 completion.
26 Marks also reported that the process of incorporation has been completed and the first meeting of
27 the Sister City Corporation of the City of St. Anthony was held with Boardmembers.
28 Cavanaugh reported his attendance at the League of Minnesota Cities two-day conference for
29 newly elected officials. Carl Neu was the moderator and he was absolutely dynamic. Cavanaugh
30 stated he wished he had attended this conference prior to the Council retreat because there was a
31 lot of information provided which set out the structure of City government and the importance of
32 strategic vision. A lot of time was also spent on the difference between the formality of a
33 Council Session and the informality of a Council Work Session. The idea of conducting the
City Council Regular Meeting Minutes
February 10, 1998
Page 3
1 Work Session around a table and getting away from the formalities is shared by many
2 communities. The dynamics felt at the retreat truly works for problem-solving which is the
3 purpose of the Work Sessions. He noted that the conference was attended by the entire Council
4 of some cites and he suggested that at some point the St. Anthony Council should attend the
5 conference as a refresher.
6 Cavanaugh noted that VillageFest is behind schedule. He has spoken with Bob Foster who will
7 be sending a letter and having a meeting within the next two weeks. They have recruited co-
8 chairs for the committee.
9
10 C. Mayor.
11 Mayor Ranallo reported his attendance at a meeting of the Cable Television Commission. He
12 reported that the number of residents with cable television in the City of St. Anthony has
13 surpassed the number in the City of Lauderdale with a penetration of 45%. The average
14 penetration of the 10 participating suburbs is 49%. Some of the commissioners will be present at
15 the March 10 Council meeting at which the Council will begin live broadcast. He noted that
16 residents can receive cable television in their homes free of charge. An article in regard to this
17 will be published in the near future.
8 Mayor Ranallo reported a meeting was held'on Thursday, February 5, 1998, which was attended
9 by him, City Manager, Peter Willenbring of WSB, and Senator Marty. He noted that
20 Representative McGuire was invited to the meeting but did not attend. The meeting was called
21 when it was discovered that the persons dispersing any funds from the State of Minnesota will be
22 the Division of Waters of the Department of Natural Resources. This is one group who was not
23 included in the meeting held by the City of St. Anthony on January 15, 1998.
24 Mayor Ranallo reported that a bill is currently before the legislature. It is House File#3399 and
25 Senate File #2991. City Manager has a copy of the bill. The bill is requesting $6 million from
26 the General Budget and$35 million to be dispersed as grant money. The DNR already has
27 requests for$50 million. It is possible that this bill could become a line item and each City's
28 request be put on a line. The Governor could then strike out any City he so chooses. Staff is
29 hopeful that the monies will be put into the DNR and the DNR can then disperse the monies
30 through the Division of Waters. Ranallo explained that the DNR has statutory criteria for flood
31 money. The City Manager and Peter Willenbring made the same presentation to representatives
32 of the DNR that was made in January. After the presentation,the representatives stated the
33 presentation looked good and they would give it consideration. However, the City will still have
34 to meet the criteria.
35 Mayor Ranallo noted that any money that has been spent to this point on the water issue will not
36 be included in the match money of the grant. Once the City is approved for the grant,-it can start
`7 allocating funds for the match. Also any money received from FEMA or grants from other
a agencies cannot be included as match money.

1 D. City Manager.
2 Mornson reported that Bill Weber of BRW will be present at the March 10, 1998 Council
3 meeting to discuss the Comprehensive Plan Update.
4 Mornson reported he met with Warren Rolek, School Superintendent to discuss issues and
5 concerns they had with the School Board in the joint meeting. One of the things Mornson did
6 prior to the meeting was call various research firms and the League of Minnesota Cities. He
7 discovered there is only one research firm to perform this type of survey and that firm is
8 Decision Resources. They are preparing a proposal based on the City and the school district, as
9 well as the part of the school district which is located in the City of New Brighton. It was their
10 opinion that 400 was accurate sample with a 5% margin of error.
11 Mornson reported that one company had made.a presentation at the Work Session for technical
12 upgrade on the computer system. The other two companies under consideration will make
13 presentations at the February 24 and March 10, 1998 Council meetings.
14 Morrison reported there are presently two development opportunities being discussed with City
15 staff; the potential expansion of a Church and an industry in the Industrial Park is considering
16 expansion.
17 Mornson reported the deadline for the five homeowners to apply for City purchase of their
18 homes is February 18, 1998. To date, Staff has received a response from only one homeowner.
19 After responses have been received from the homeowners, the City may make counteroffers.
20 Mornson noted that public hearings will be required for this and other water issues because
21 money is being spent from the storm water funds.
22 Sue Kozarek, 4029 Shamrock Drive, Chairman of the Flood Task Force, asked if the increase in
23 the Storm Water Fee had been approved.
24 Mayor Ranallo stated the 3 d reading and adoption of the increase will be held this evening.
25 Ms. Kozarek stated that based on the comments with regard to the DNR matching of funds, it
26 would behoove the City to increase the Fee. She noted there is residential opposition to the
27 increase but also noted that almost 50%of the residents have cable television at a cost of$30 per
28 month.
29 Ms. Kozarek also reported that her car was broken into in their driveway on January 19, 1998:
30 , The St. Anthony Police Department called her home when they noticed something suspicious.
31 She thanked the St. Anthony Police Department and stated it was nice to know the residents had
32 such good protection.
33 VIII. PUBLIC HEARINGS.
34 A. 1998 Street Improvements (Resolution 98-025).
City Council Regular Meeting Minutes
February 10, 1998
Page 5
1 Mayor Ranallo declared the public hearing open at 7:23 P.M.
2 Bob Moberg, RCM explained that the total cost of the 1998 Street Improvement Project is
3 $700,265.17. The construction costs are $533,674.45 and the engineering and administrative
4 costs are $166,590.72. 65% of the total cost is attributable to the street construction, 25-30%to
5 the water main costs and the remainder to the sanitary storm sewer.
6 The City will pay 65% of all costs associated with the street construction. The remaining 35%
7 will be assessed to the affected homeowners. The assessment for street construction will be
8 $31.18 per lineal foot of frontage. This is $3 less than was estimated last fall at the
9 neighborhood meetings for this project. City policy is to assess the water main construction at a
10 flat fee of$400 per connection. The overall cost of the water main installation will be $191,000.
11 The 60 residents affected will be assessed$24,000 and the City will pay the remainder.
12 Of the total projects cost of$700,000, $181,000 will be assessed to property owners and the City
13 will finance the remaining $520,000 through the bonding program.
14 The anticipated schedule of the project is very similar to that of the 1997 Project on 35'Avenue
15 and Roosevelt. In that project, construction started on May 20 and between July 10 and 15 all
the utility work was completed and the streets were repaved. Between July_ 15 and September 1
. 1 the restoration work was completed.
18 Mr. Moberg displayed a copy of a bulletin which RCM will distribute door-to-door during the
19 construction process. This bulletin will include updates and provide telephone numbers of
20 primary contacts for the project.
21 Ms. Kozarek asked if RCM was coordinating this project with WSB. She questioned if this
22 project was consistent with the recommendations of the Flood Task Force.
23 Mr. Moberg stated this street reconstruction project was essentially identified at about the same
24 time that the Storm Water Task Force was first forming and has proceeded somewhat
25 independently. The storm water improvements included in this project will only replace existing
26 facilities. It is expected that projects after the 1998 Project will be coordinated with WSB.
27 Ms. Kozarek suggested it would make sense economically to coordinate WSB and RCM and to
28 reassess what is being done with the storm sewer improvements.
29 Morrison stated the two firms are coordinating. WSB's report has been submitted to RCM. In
30 this case, the project was started last June. WSB did not suggest any work be done in this
31 specific project area.
2 Cavanaugh stated it was his understanding that next year's street project will be looked at in
33 relation to the WSB report.

11 Street and Water Main Improvements to Forest Lake Contracting in the amount of$533,674.45.
12 Mayor Ranallo asked if due diligence had been taken in checking the reputation of Forest Lake
13 Contracting's work.
14 Mr. Moberg stated he had shared the concern of Staff in regard to the proposed contractor. The
15 contractor was researched and received a number of references from Ramsey County, Anoka
16 County, and the Cities of Shoreview and White Bear Lake. Similar work was performed for
17 these counties and cities and the contractor received high recommendations.
18 Motion carried unanimously.
19 B. Resolution 98-028, re: Call for Sale of Bonds for 1998 Street Improvements.
20 Bob Thistle, Springsted Inc., stated he was present this evening to ask the Council to give his
21 firm authorization to proceed with the preparation of documents to compete for the bond sale one
22 month from tonight. After receiving authorization, Springsted will work with Dorsey &Whitney
..23 to prepare the necessary documents. Springsted will take bids on the day of the authorized sale
24 and will present the tabulated bid sheet to the Council that evening with the recommendation of
25 the lowest bid at that time. This will be a 10-year finance with the option to call the bond in the
26 Oh or 7``'year. The projected interest rate is 4.72%. The interest rate charged on the bonds is 2%
27 which is used to cover administrative costs.
28 Marks noted that on page 3 of Springsted recommendations, it states that special assessments are
29 $253,750. Total assessments for this project will only be $181,000.
30 Mr. Thistle noted this error in the document and stated it would be recalculated and corrected.

7 performed additional surveying and soil boring due to a unique situation which came along in the
8 project.
9 Motion by Marks, second by Cavanaugh to approve an agreement for additional services by
10 RCM in the amount of$6,300 for 1998 Street Improvements.
11 Motion carried unanimously.
12 Cavanaugh asked if the properties were assessed before or after the street project began.
13 Morrison explained that the assessments are payable in 1999. A formal letter describing the
options for payment will be mailed to affected property owners at the end of March 1998.
15 D. Approve Final Plat for 3301 Stinson Boulevard(Chazin Homes).
16 Alan Chazin displayed a landscape plan and final plat for this project. He reported that the
17 development agreement has been signed.
18 Cavanaugh asked the sale price of the units and the square footage.
19 Mr. Chazin stated the units will sell for approximately $175,000 and have a square footage of
20 1,550.
21 Thuesen noted that the surrounding properties are valued significantly lower and asked Mr.
22 Chazin if he foresaw a problem with this.
23 Mr. Chazin stated this is quite typical with in-fill housing but if the units are good quality,the
24 community is strong and there is a market for the units,there should not be a problem.
25 City Attorney reported that Attorney William Soth had reviewed and approved the final plat.
26 Cavanaugh questioned water retention on the site.
^7 Mr. Chazin stated that most of the water would run to Stinson Boulevard. There is also a storm
6 drain on the southeast comer of the site.

STAFF REPORT
DATE: February 17, 1998
TO: Planning Commission Members
FROM: Kim Moore-Sykes, Management Assistant
ITEM: 98-04 US West Request for Conditional Use Permit for the
Installation of a Wireless Antenna.
BACKGROUND.
Scott Hoelscher, Site Administrator for US West-Wireless, has applied for a Conditional Use
Permit for the installation of a 75-foot Personal'Communications Services (PCS) monopole
antenna and base station equipment cabinet at 2801 - 37' Avenue NE, which is owned by Ken
Solie of Village.Properties. The property is zoned Light Industrial and the proposed antenna
and accessory base station equipment is an allowable permitted use in this District.
Mr. Hoelscher is proposing to install a 75-foot monopole antenna, which is as tall as Section
1160, Subd. 2 of the City Ordinance allows. The City Ordinance states that the setbacks for
the Light Industrial District are 15 feet in the rear yard and 15 feet for the sideyard. Mr.
Hoelscher is proposing to install the monopole antenna 15 feet from the rear property line,
143.6 feet from the existing building and several hundred feet from the east property line. The
proposed monopole antenna will also be screened from view by the wooded area to the east.
For safety considerations, fencing will be provided around the proposed antenna and base
equipment station cabinet.
Minnesota Statutes and City Ordinances require-that the following conditions be satisfied
before a Conditional Use Permit may be authorized. The first condition to be met is that the
proposed use is one that is specifically listed for the zoning district in which it is to be located.
Section 1160.06, Subd.-2, allows for the installation of towers and antennas in the Light
Industrial Zoning District.
The second condition is that the proposed use will not be detrimental to the health, safety, or
general welfare of persons residing or working in the vicinity or injurious to property values or
improvements to the vicinity. Mr. Hoelscher has provided information indicating that wireless
radio transmissions are very safe and pose no health risk. Accordingly, the transmissions are
the same as digital low power two-way radio. The maximum output for a PCS cellular
transmitting antenna is 40 watts. As a comparison, he cited the power output of television and
radio station transmitting towers can range from 50,000 watts to one million watts. Because
the Federal Communications Commission tightly controls the frequency spectrum, the wireless
transmissions will also not affect home radio and television receptions.
1
The last required condition is that the use is necessary or desirable at the above location to
provide a service or a facility which is in the interest of public convenience and will contribute
to the general welfare of the neighborhood or community. Mr. Hoelscher cited many instances
in his letter to the City where the installation of the wireless communications antenna will
provide many benefits. He indicated that police, fire and ambulances will be able to receive,
and transmit valuable information quicker and without having to return to the station or leaving
the scene of an accident.
STAFF CONSIDERATIONS.
This project appears meets all the requirements of the City's Zoning Ordinance for this zoning
district. Staff received three telephone calls regarding this project in which one resident voiced
concerns about the potential health risks and the possible unsightliness of the proposed
antenna; one caller had questions about the project;'and the third caller called in support of the
proposed wireless antenna.

RE: Application for a Seventy-Five (75) Foot Personal Communications Antenna
Support Structure with Associated Base Station Equipment 2801 37t°Avenue N.E.
US West Site No. MIN-206b
Dear Ms. Moore-Sykes:
This letter is designed to comply with the application procedures for a Conditional Use Permit
that will allow the placement of a Personal Communication Services (PCS)monopole antenna
support system and associated base station equipment at 2801 37`h Avenue N.E., Saint Anthony.
INTRODUCTION
US West Wireless (US West) is licensed by the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and
is scheduled to deploy a wireless PCS system for Saint Anthony and the surrounding area in the
first quarter of 1998. See (Exhibit "A"). To fulfill its mandate from the FCC, US West will be
developing a grid of antenna throughout its service area. These antenna must be spaced,
depending on certain technical and geographical variables, at intervals approximately two (2)
miles from each other and at a height of approximately seventy-five (75) to one hundred twenty
(120) feet above the ground. The intent of the deployed system will be to provide wireless
services to all Twin City area communities. Since US West intends to utilize PCS as an
affordable Wireless Local Loop service, coverage at the neighborhood level is essential (unlike
Cellular, which is typically a high-cost mobile service).
Each US West PCS site consists of an antenna support structure (monopole); 6-9 directional.
antenna and three cabinets that house the electrical equipment. Aesthetics and site design are of
great importance in every US West PCS facility, sites are constructed to be as inconspicuous.as
possible. In Saint Anthony, a 75' monopole in a Light Industrial zoning district is proposed. The
monopole will be screened from view in most directions by existing vegetation. The color of the
monopole will be chosen to blend in with the surrounding environment and the antennas will be
placed close to the monopole to reduce visibility. As the enclosed computer-generated rendering
show, US West is offering to construct one of the most visually acceptable antenna support
structures of any of the present PCS/Cellular providers. See (Exhibit "B").
PCS Wireless Technology
PCS is a new wireless telecommunication service that is personalized to the individual. PCS
technology will allow a variety of telecommunication services, including local and long distance
telephone services, portable telephone and facsimile transmission capability, caller identification
and voice mail services to name just a few features. The types and features of services that each
subscriber desires will be customized to his or her individual needs. Telephone numbers in use in
PCS handsets will be assigned specifically to an individual user with a Personal Communications
Number (PCN). A PCN will allow the network to track the individual at all times. I have
enclosed an article for your review that relates to the general current explanation of the PCS
system operation entitled."Understanding the Future Today." (Located in the Red Folder).
PCS utilizes the latest digital technology. This will facilitate improved call clarity, but more
importantly, clean data communication when using a fax or modem. A PCS customer will be
able to communicate through voice and data simultaneously using the same handset without
interference to either activity. In addition, computer users will be able to run applications and
retrieve data faster from remote locations using their handset. PCS technology also assures less
static and fading than current cellular technology and results in fewer dropped calls.
New wireless communication technology has developed rapidly in the past few years and the
many new applications are vital to industrial, business and personal uses. Business and industry
will be seeking out and adapting to these new technologies to remain competitive. Having access
to these emerging wireless technologies will be any important part for the success of future
business and for the safety/convenience of the personal user.
PROPOSED USE
We propose to construct a seventy five (75) foot tall free standing monopole with associated
antenna and base station equipment at 2801 37h Avenue N.E., Saint Anthony. Both the
monopole and associated base station equipment will be located on the north-central portion of
the property: The monopole is set-back 15' from the rear property line to the North and several
hundred feet from the front and side yard property lines. The proposed monopole location is
143'6" from the existing building. See (Exhibit "C" — Site Plans).
No signs or lighting is planned for the proposed PCS facility. The monopole color will be chosen
to blend in with the surrounding environment. This cell site will meet both FAA and FCC
requirements for this location. Fencing will be provided around the base of the monopole and
equipment cabinets. No existing parking spaces will be removed.
The foundation for the antenna support system will be a concrete caisson design. The tower steel
and foundation will be designed following specifications as determined by the tower
manufacturer. The specifications take into account soils, local wind loading guidelines and the
type of equipment to be attached to the antenna support system. A safety factor is included in the
design parameters resulting in a.pole that typically exceeds local building code requirements. As
the monopole engineering and structural report indicates, the antenna support system is
manufactured and designed not to collapse. See (Exhibit "D").
A total of six (6) PCS antennas will be mounted on the monopole at 72'-3" and 60' above ground
level. The antennas are approximately 5" x 42" x 4" in size. An unmanned prefabricated
equipment rack measuring approximately 12' x 9'6" x 6" will be located at the base of the
monopole. Three (3) weather resistant cabinets to house equipment used to link the antenna to
the telephone network will be placed on the prefabricated rack. See (Exhibit "E" —Equipment
Overview).
Drainage of the site will not be changed. This site will require a single-phase two hundred (200)
amp electrical service and a T1 telephone for utilities.
BENEFITS TO CON lUNITY
This site will enhance public safety and welfare because it will enable US West to bring new
Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) cellular technology to the area (see document entitled
"Comparison of US West CDMA Technology Versus Other Providers in the Twin Cities"
located in Red Folder). CDMA, which did not exist four years ago, is now considered the
leading wireless access technology in the industry. The ability to transmit data such as fax,
paging and computer data transmission will open a whole new way of communicating by
business, individuals and government services. Police can use CDMA cellular fax machines as
part of their drug enforcement program to obtain immediate search warrants when illegal activity
is observed without leaving the scene. Firefighters can receive faxed blueprints of a building in
route to fight fires more safely. Ambulances can use it to transmit vital data to emergency rooms,
which allow the emergency rooms to be better prepared to receive injured accident victims. At
chemical spill sites, hazardous material information can be obtained "on site" by accessing
computer databases throughout the country with a CDMA cellular modem. Motorists will have
greater flexibility of wireless phone choices, which will allow them more security in placing
emergency calls as needed. I have enclosed a recent article entitled "Saved by the Cell" for your
review. (Located in the Red Folder).
CDMA wireless radio transmissions are very safe and pose no health risk. It is really nothing
more than a digital low power two-way radio. CDMA wireless uses low power to insure that the
signal stays within the designated "cell" so it will not interfere with neighboring "cells". The
maximum output for a PCS cellular transmitting antenna is forty (40) watts. As a comparison,
power output of television and radio station transmitting towers can range from 50,000 watts to
one million watts.
The question is often asked if the operation of a wireless antenna will affect home radio and
television reception. The use of the frequency spectrum is tightly controlled by the FCC. The
CDMA cellular system is operated in the 1900 MHz range. This is a higher frequency on the
radio spectrum than home radio and television frequencies. This is important because higher
frequency users-can not interfere with lower frequency users. Since 1984, over 15,000 cellular
antennas have been erected across the United States, and there have been no documented
instances of interference with home entertainment equipment.
ZONING REQUIREMENTS
The proposed site is zoned LI = Light Industrial and currently owned by Village Properties
(Authorization signed by Ken Solie of Village Properties is attached. See (Exhibit "F")). The
placement of a monopole at this site will be relatively unobtrusive; have minimal impact on
neighboring properties and will allow for the development of personal wireless service to serve
Saint Anthony. The use as conditioned will not impede future development in the area.
The establishment, maintenance or operation of such a conditional use will promote and enhance
the general public welfare and will not be detrimental to or endanger the public health, safety,
moral or comfort. PCS transmissions operate at very low power levels. Special arrangements
need not be made to accommodate access to the site. The proposed use will cause no traffic
congestion or interference with traffic on the surrounding public streets. Site visits will be rare
once the monopole/antenna has been installed. Parking will not be an issue because site visits
will be infrequent and of limited duration. The site will have adequate utilities for the use as
conditioned and adequate access is provided to the site.
Each US West antenna site will be registered with the FAA. US West monopoles meet all
ANSI/TIA/EIA-222E and Uniform Building Code Standards and.they are designed.to.withstand
the highest wind speeds, snow and ice loads: The proposed use requires electric and telephone
service, both of which are available and ample for US West needs at this site. US West will pay
for all costs of actual electric and telephone services used at the site. And, finally, US West will
work to provide for and accommodate co-location on this monopole as indicated in our attached
Co-Location Policy. See (Exhibit "G").
US West hopes this correspondence and enclosures address all issues. Should you have
additional questions regarding the attached exhibits or require further information please contact
us at 612/642-6042. US West appreciate the assistance that we have received from the Saint
Anthony Village staff and we look forward to working with you to better serve the citizens of
your community.
Thank you for your time and consideration of this application.
Respectfully,

February, 1997
FCC auctions for the D and E blocks of Personal Communications Services
(PCS) spectrum concluded in January. U S WEST Communications has won
53 licenses for a total of $57 million. We have money on deposit with the FCC
to cover 20% of our winning bids and will be paying the remainder of the $57
million when the licenses are granted. The applications for those licenses were
filed with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) on January 30,
1997, along with applications from all the other winning bidders. We expect that
FCC review and processing will take about three months, the same'as for the
prior PCS .auctions. .
Attached are pages from the FCC's Public Notice, dated January 15, 1997,
showing U S WEST Communications as the high bidder in specific markets.
U S WEST Communications is committed to providing wireless services. As an
example of our commitment, we have had an experimental license in the
Boulder, Colorado area since 1992 for testing and developing the PCS
technology that we intend to deploy. We also have invested significant
resources in building a staff to develop, implement, and market wireless
services.
If you have questions.about the status of our license applications with the FCC,
please call Marty Dickerson, 303-294-1613..

RE: Millerbernd Mfg. Co. Antenna Monopole Structural Integrity
The Millerbernd Mfg. Co. monopoles used by US West for this project meets or exceeds the
requirements of EIA/TIA 222 "Structural Standards for Steel Antenna Towers an i Antenna
Supporting Structures" specification. This is the recognized specification for these types of
c towers. When designing the structure, wind&ice loading along with the number, size,height
and style of mounting ofthe antennas are taken into account to determine the size of the
structure required. The structure will have an approximate safety factor of 1.5, or in other
words,will be 1.5 times stronger than it needs to be. The monopole has been designed to
withstand at least 100 MPH with a 1/2" thick coating of ice on the monopole and antennas.
Millerbern.d Mfg. Co. only uses American-Made carbon steel(ASTM A572 or A607)which has
a 50,000 PSI min yield. All our steel is ordered with mill certifications to verify integrity of the
material The mill certifications are kept on file, should a copy be required at some future date .
Only AWS-D1.1 "Structural Welding Code" qualified personnel will be used during the welding
of the structure. Weld inspections will be performed by SNT-TC-lA qualified No -D
estructive
Test Personnel to verify the soundness of the welds.
With the pole designed and manufactured in accordance with the above criteria, Millerbernd
Mfg. Co. cert&es that the monopole will not collapse.
Millerbemd Mfg. Co. has been in business since 1933 and manufacturing monopoles since 1948.
Since then, thousands of monopoles have been built which are very similar to this type of
structure without a single one collapsing. Millerbemd has been building antenna monopoles
since 1990. In that time, 40 plus antenna monopoles-have been built anclalso without any
collapsing.
If you have any questions or concerns,please call me at(320)485-2111.

BASE STATIONS.
The electronic equipment is completely environmentally contained in 2 metal
cabinets.
• The radio cabinet is 4'-2" x 2'-6" deep x 5'-0" tall and weighs 1400 lbs.
• The power cabinet is 2'-6" square x 5'-0" tall and weighs 9001bs.
ANTENNAS
Each site is divided into 3 - 120 degree sectors with 2 antennas per sector, (6
total). The antennas are approximately 5" wide x 42" high x 4" thick.
SITE DESIGN
Aesthetics are,of great importance in'site design. Therefore, special design is
being implemented to accomplish this, i.e.
• Placing antennas closer to the pole in lieu of large "crows nests" at the top
• Placing antennas on building parapets and penthouses
• Painting antennas and cabling to match the adjacent building

Approach
GE Capital Consulting provides vendor-independent consulting services. As a
result, GE Capital Consulting is under no pressure or obligation to recommend a
specific manufacturer's solution to your organization. Since GE Capital
Consulting can provide vendor-independent recommendations, GECC can
insure that our recommendations best fit the needs of our clients.
4
Our recommendations conform to "best practice" methods within the industry. In
short, we review the current technologies and products, then we recommend the
most reliable, cost effective, and productive solutions available to our clients.
The project for the city of Saint Anthony can be separated into four phases:
define city-wide goals; develop a technical model; develop findings and
recommendations; and provide support. The estimates provided in the Work
Plan Section of this document, are based upon our experience with similar
assessments, a request for proposal from the City of Saint Anthony, and a
conversation with Roger Larson, which took place Monday, January 12, 1998.
Strategy
This project will require a team approach with both GECC staff City of Saint
Anthony staff working together. The time, communication, cooperation, and
support from the various departments within the city are key to the success of
this project. We are familiar with the time constraints within most organizations,
and will be as concise and efficient as possible to insure our efforts do not place
an undo burden upon any your staff.
Management of the project as a whole is critical for success. GECC can
manage the project while providing specific technical expertise for each.of the
individual activities. City of Saint Anthony technical staff should be involved
throughout the project to maintain a thorough understanding of each activity and
a seamless transition to support of any changes to the technical infrastructure.
Project Roles
Given the scope of this project, a Project Manager will be necessary to insure
timely delivery and completion of this effort. This project will also require a
senior technical consultant to document and develop technical
recommendations. This role will also be responsible for managing any
3
technology implementations. A consultant may also be brought in to fulfill
network and/or Internet support activities as required by the client.
Deliverables (Project Scope)
• Objective
Develop a findings and recommendations document that addresses the
City of Saint Anthony technology requirements. This document will be the
formal, strategic plan for improving the technical infrastructure of the city
of Saint Anthony.
Develop and Define City-Wide Automation Goals
Based on departmental objectives discussed during the interview process,
we will document those objectives and develop cohesive strategic goal
statements.
• Conduct Departmental Interviews,
Identify key managerial and technical contacts to determine each
department's strategic and tactical objectives.
• Review Departmental and City Budget
Review budget and provide a high level cost estimate for
implementing appropriate technologies to accommodate
departmental goals.
• Develop and Define Baseline Technical Model
Based on the current architecture, define 'minimum' system requirements
both in written form and visual form (drawing).
• Define the Network Infrastructure
Document the current physical network layer connectivity, LAN
environment, and network operating system. Provide documentation
on integration issues and recommended solutions.
• . Define Network Protocols
Define and document the standardized and custom communication
formats.
• Define File and Print Server Structure

Lake Road bridge project,scheduled for construction by Ramsey County in 1999.
, B. St. Anthony Boulevard Improvements
- At your request, RCM has developed a preliminary cost estimate for replacement of
deteriorated sidewalk on both sides of St. Anthony Boulevard between Stinson Boulevard
• and Silver Lake Road. The estimated cost of construction (including contingencies) is
• - $150,000. It is the opinion of RCM that sufficient fdnds are available to construct this
1 J7fi `} _project in 1998.
MnDOT State Aid staff indicate that sidewalk reconstruction on State Aid routes is eligible
for State Aid funding for 100%of project costs.In addition,if the City elects not to assess
a portion of the project,a feasibility study is not needed.

Dear Mr. Morrison:
In consideration of new information we recently received regarding your proposed sump pump
inspection project,please be advised we are in a position to revise our December 1, 1997 submittal as
follows:
a. We originally assumed 3,000 connections in the city. This has been reduced to 2,300
,connections to reflect your recent data.
b.. We originally planned.on three public-information meetings. This has been increased
to four meetings/study areas to provide a more manageable number of people in each
group.
C. We increased the public information areas to include assistance in preparation of
Newsletter Articles and assistance in preparing an Educational Video.
d. The.schedule was extended from the Spring/Summer, 1998 to Spring, 1998. through
Spring of 1999 to allow increased public information efforts.
We have also made some modifications in the text to reflect the MCES program announcements since
the previous submittal.

Statement of Understanding
It is our understanding that the City of St.Anthony has identified clear water(infiltration and inflow)
in the collection system as one of the factors in recent backups problems. The City has made efforts
to reduce clear water from"public"sources but the private property sources have not been addressed
thus far.
"Infiltration" and "inflow" are different classifications of clear water in general "engineering"
terminology,but for practical purposes and analysis they are generally combined into one term and
called infiltration/inflow or I/I for short. I/I has always been a concern in sanitary sewer collection
and treatment facilities. I/I is relatively clean, runoff or ground water, and it does not require the
extensive treatment that is necessary for wastewater. However, once I/I enters a sanitary sewer
system it becomes mixed with the wastewater and it must be processed at a treatment facility before
discharging it to a receiving stream. The I/I uses capacity in the collection system and the treatment
facility that could be used by additional service connections from homes or businesses,and results
in increase treatment charges to the City. Wastewater from the City of St. Anthony is treated at a
Metropolitan Council Environmental Services(MCES)facility,and the City is charged a fee for each
gallon that is treated. The MCES has been encouraging communities to reduce I/I by offering a
grant/loan program. Information on the MCES program will be included in the "funding" section
of this letter.
There are many potential sources of I/I ranging in size from minor pipe joint leaks,providing less
than one gallon per day to catch basins and roof drains, which can contribute hundreds of gallons .
per minute. Flow from extremely large 1/1 sources quickly and regularly exceed the capacity of the
available sanitary sewer pipes and,as a result,these sources are generally removed shortly after they
are identified. Smaller sources spread throughout the system are more difficult to identify and
remove. These sources include leaking manholes, damaged pipe, leaking joints, foundation drain
tiles, sump pumps and down spouts from roof gutters. Routine system operation and maintenance
procedures provide the opportunity for the City Staff to identify and correct some I/I sources in the
City or"public"system,but the private property sources are generally overlooked unless specifically
targeted. Private property sources include foundation drainage tiles,sump pumps and down spouts
from roof gutters. These sources can contribute significant quantities of I/I very quickly , or over
a long period of time, depending on the type of construction, the soil conditions, and the
precipitation event. Foundation drains are.normally difficult to identify and difficult to remove from
_ the system. Sump.pumps and down spouts_are relatively easy to identify and disconnect. The pump -
discharge line can be routed outside the basement and discharged on the ground away from the
foundation. The water from the sump i's basically clean and can be discharged on the ground surface
without difficulty in most cases. However, it is important to discharge the water several feet from
the foundation to reduce the potential for recirculating it back to the tile and sump pump system.
Occasionally problems with surface discharge occur in situations where the pump.is required to
operate frequently over long periods of time, or during freezing conditions. In these cases special
consideration of the discharge method may be necessary.
The City of St. Anthony has been working on identifying and removing I/I sources in the public
sewer system and it is necessary to expand the program to the private property area to increase I/I
reduction. In most communities, sump pumps are the most common"private property" source and
Page I F.•IIVPWIMPROPOSAL1059.971proparal
the easiest to identify and remove from the sanitary sewer system. In many cases,removal can be
completed by the property owner for minimal cost using readily available materials and tools with
minor instruction and guidance. We would recommend that the City of St. Anthony consider a
program that has been used successfully in several area communities to identify and remove sump
pump connections to reduce I/I in the sanitary sewer system.
Approach
The recommended program includes several steps as follows:
1. Adopting an ordinance requiring inspection and establishing a surcharge for non-compliance.
2. Preparing a public information program to inform residents of the new ordinance
requirements and the need to reduce the I/I including:
a. Articles in the City Newsletter regarding sump pumps and I/I.
b. Small inserts for mailing with water bills or newsletter articles.
C. Preparation of an information video for release on the cable television system.
d. A separate directed mailing inviting residents to a public information meeting.
e. Distribution of recommendations for re-routing sump pump discharge lines.
3. Inspection of each sanitary sewer connection in the City. This could be done in groups of
about 575 to control the overall operation of the program. The inspection would include:
a. Entering every building connected to the sanitary sewer and observing the plumbing
piping to determine the presence or lack of a sump pump.
b. Completing a three-part inspection form which will establish, at the time of the
inspection, whether or not the connection is in compliance with the new ordinance.
Homeowners will sign and date the form and keep a copy for their records.
C. If the connection does not comply with the ordinance, the inspector will provide a
sketch of a recommended connection method and list of plumbers that do work in the
city. . ,
d. If a connection fails, it will be reinspected in 30 days to verify that the corrections
have been made, or if corrections have not been made, to initiate the surcharge
provisions of the ordinance.
e. If the building has a sump basket but no pump,a sticker will be placed on the basket
cover notifying future users of the inspection requirement prior to installation of the
SUMP pump.
Page 2 F.•IWPWINWROPOS 9LIO59.91proposaf
4. Prepare a data base which includes all of the inspection data for future reference and follow-
up inspections to maximize long term compliance.
WSB proposes to provide an engineer and inspection group to complete the recommended program
for the City.- Chuck Janski would be designated as the project engineer. Chuck has over 15 years
experience in I/I projects, and,would assist in setting up the program, making presentations at the
four public information meetings,training and supervision of the inspection personnel assigned other
project.Chuck has conducted similar sump pump inspection programs in conjunction with the Cities
of Plymouth, Champlin,Waseca,and Zumbrota in the past few years. The inspection group would
be made up of WSB construction inspection personnel. An inspector would go door to door to enter
each building and determine a pass/fail condition of the building. An additional person in the
inspection group would be assigned to take telephone calls and set up appointments for residents that
could not be contacted through the initial attempts. This person would also enter the inspection data
into the computer data base which would be delivered to the City upon completion of the inspection
work.
Schedule
We understand that the City Council is currently reviewing an ordinance to provide for the private
property inspections and surcharge fees for non-compliance. Assuming the ordinance will be in
effect during February, 1998,we would recommend initiation of the public information,and sump
pump inspection program under the following preliminary schedule:

Available Funding
In 1998 the MCES has again offered a grant/loan program to assist tributary communities in
reducing I/I in their local collection systems. Eligible projects must be completed within 18 months
of the grant/loan award.
Grant funds up to$10,000 and loan funds up to$40,000 are available for qualifying projects. Both
of the funds require dollar for dollar matching with local funds. The grant funds are available for
"studies" to define and identify potential I/I sources and reduction potential, and loan funds are
available for construction of projects to actually reduce the I/I in the City system. The proposed
"sump pump" identification and removal project, in St. Anthony, would qualify under the "loan"
program.
The "loan" program is rather unique because there is an opportunity for communities to have their
annual loan repayment "forgiven." For a period of five years after the project is completed, the
community must annually "certify" the status of the system I/I to the MCES. If the work continues
to be effective in maintaining the I/I reduction,the City's annual payment is forgiven and the loan
effectively becomes a"grant" for that year. Each year that the system is positively "certified",the
payment is forgiven.
Applications for the 1998 MCES program must be submitted by February 10, 1998.
Par 5 F.IfVPW1"ROPO&M1059.971propo=1
Conclusion
The City of St.Anthony can benefit from a program to identify and remove sump pump connections
to the sanitary sewer system.
WSB personnel have extensive experience in assisting communities with sump pump identification
. and removal projects and could provide valuable assistance to the City of St. Anthony.
Funding assistance maybe available to the City from MCES through a special I/I Reduction Program
early in 1998.
Infiltration and Inflow have their greatest impact on the sanitary sewer system in the spring during
high groundwater and runoff conditions.
Initiation of a public information and education effort in the next few months may provide some
immediate improvement prior to the anticipated peak conditions during the spring of 1998, and it
should improve the performance of the actual house-to-house survey planned for the Fall of 1998
and Spring, 1999.

MEMORANDUM
DATE:. February 4, 1998
TO: Mike Mornson, City Manager
FROM: Roger Larson, Finance Director
ITEM: 1998 WATERISEWER RATES
The Public Works Director has submitted a 1998 water budget of $389,800 and a sewer budget
of$690,400.
Based on the approval of those budgets, I have completed an analysis to determine if a rate
increase is necessary to balance these operating budgets. The results are as follows:
Water:
In 1998, it is anticipated that St. Anthony will sell 41,000,000 cubic feet of water. Calculating
the estimated 1998 water sales (41,000,000 divided by 100 x $ .94) shows a total income of
$385,400.
Expenditures of $389,800 plus the water filtration levy transfer of $15,200 requires revenues to
total $405,000'. Based on estimated water sales of $385,400 a deficit of ($19,600) exists and a
rate increase is necessary to balance the water-operating budget.
Recommendation:
The present rate of $.94 per 100 cubic feet is not sufficient to balance the 1998 water
operating budget. Projected expenditures exceed revenues by ($19,600), therefore, staff,
recommends ammending ordinance 610.02 to reflect a rate increase of$ .06 cents per 100cf.
(41,000,000 divided by 100 X $ 1.00 = $ 410,000)
Sewer:
Currently, sanitary sewer disposal costs the residents $1.72 per 100 cubic feet. Based on Metro
Waste's estimate of flowage, disposal costs for '98-will be significantly higher than last year.
In 1998, Metro Sewers charges will be based on 360,000,000 gallons of sanitary waste for a total
disposal cost of$486,000 compared to.last year's.payment of$383,200 (Up $102,800).
It is estimated that the_City will sell 37,500,000 cubic feet of sewer in 1998. Calculating the
estimated 1998 sewer revenue (37,500,000 divided by 100 X $1.72) shows a total income of
$645,000.
Projected expenditures of $690,400 produces a deficit of($45,400) and an increase is necessary
to balance the operating budget. A rate increase of$ .12 cents per 100cf is necessary to fund the •
1998 sewer operating budget.
(37,500,000 divided by 100 X $1.84 = $690,000)
In 1988, the City Council passed an ordinance relating to sewer rates and charges. It reads that
all sewer charges shall be at the rate of$1.20 per hundred cubic,feet of water used plus a Metro
Waste surcharge as determined by the following formula:
Metro Waste Rate Surcharge Formula
X = .88Y -$.88 + F
$315,000
X = Surcharge per 100 cubic feet
Y = Metro Waste charges for calendar year ($486,000 in '98)
F = Inflationary Factor to Balance Budget ($.16 cents in '98)
This formula allows for changes in the sewer rates without ammending the ordinance. The
rate increase is handled administratively and requires no Council Action.
