30 Amended Petition. Phil Belfiori and Kyle Axtell Rice Creek Watershed District and
31 Todd Hubmer. WSB & Associates, presenting.
32
33 City Engineer Hubmer explained that following the 2011 flood event, the cities of St. Anthony
34 and New Brighton prepared flood investigation reports and subsequently petitioned the Rice
35 Creek Watershed District for improvements to Ramsey County Ditches 2, 3, and 5. He stated the
36 City of Roseville has requested to be added to the petition because it has experienced flooding in
37 the system and has land in a significant portion of the watershed. He stated the Rice Creek
38 Watershed District's engineers concurred that two project improvements would provide a
39 multitude of benefits related to flooding as well as water quality in Long Lake and Pike Lake and
40 advised that a $3 million grant has been secured from the Board of Water & Soil Resources to
41 implement the projects at Hansen Park in New Brighton and Mirror Lake in St. Anthony. He
42 then introduced Mr. Phil Belfiori and Mr. Kyle Axtell from Rice Creek Watershed District.
43
44 Mr. Belfiori thanked the City on behalf of Rice Creek Watershed District staff and the Rice
45 Creek Watershed District Board of Managers for the City's leadership and assistance in working
46 together on these projects. He provided background information regarding the Long Lake
47 targeted watershed demonstration project and the Ramsey County Ditch project and stated that in
48 2009, the Hansen Park and Mirror Pond projects were listed as high priority projects. He stated
City Council Regular Meeting Minutes
June 10, 2014
Page 3
I that the petition's purpose is to solve flooding issues and comprehensive flood damage and
2 consider downstream impacts to achieve water quality goals where possible. He acknowledged
3 the strong partnership between the cities of St. Anthony, New Brighton, Roseville, Ramsey
4 County Parks, University of Minnesota, Friends of the Mississippi River, and the Board of Water
5 & Soil Resources and stated there are four projects as part of the grant with a timeline of four
6 years.
8 Mr. Axtell explained that the restoration of Middle Rice Creek through the former TCAAP
9 property will reconnect several of the historic meanders and decrease sediment transport and the
10 estimated cost of this project is $870,000. He stated the carp management component will focus
I 1 on Long Lake and the estimated cost of this project is $425,000. He advised that the Hansen
12 Park concept includes dredging Hansen Pond to restore water quality depth and adding flood
13 storage capacity as well as modifying the outlet structure to provide flood control. He noted this
14 project also includes adding an iron -enhanced sand filter that will dissolve phosphorous as well
15 as a water reuse system to irrigate the ball fields and the estimated cost of this project is $4.8
16 million. He stated the Minor Pond project is similar to the Hansen Park project and includes
17 dredging the pond to restore water quality and flood storage capacity as well as replacing the
18 current outlet structure that has failed and the estimated cost of this project is $815,000.
19
20 Mr. Belfiori reviewed the project funding and stated the Rice Creek Watershed District Board of
21 Managers recently recognized the regional benefit of flood control of these projects and their
22 positive impact on flooding and proposes to use the District -wide ad valorem levy to pay for the
23 regional flood control portions of the project. He pointed out that any future conversions of the
24 flood control benefit might result in a proportionate assessment to a community if that
25 community chooses to use that flood benefit.
26
27 Mayor Faust indicated the City began planning this work in 2009 and the project timeline
28 extends out to 2018 and it is important for residents to recognize that these types of projects take
29 time. He stated this project is an example of how several entities can work together to get a job
30 done holistically that serves all residents in the future. He expressed the City Council's thanks
31 and appreciation to Rice Creek Watershed District staff and the Rice Creek Watershed District
32 Board of Managers.
33
34 Councilmember Jenson requested further information about the Mirror Pond concept in terms of
35 the benefits to residents.
36
37 Mr. Belfiori explained that the drawdown function is intended to allow the rate of water during a
38 storm to be managed gradually so that the entire amount of water does not go downstream all at
39 once and should reduce the stress on the system carrying water out of the pond, which is part of
40 the issue with flooding in the area because the channel downstream is not big enough to handle
41 runoff all at once.
42
43 Councilmember Stille thanked Rice Creek Watershed District for its help in getting the funding
44 in place and working together toward a solution. He requested further information about future
45 conversions of flood control being assessed to the various cities.
46
47 Mr. Belfiori explained that as part of the petition process, if a city wishes to use some of the
48 storage being created as part of a more localized flood control project, e.g., increasing catch

basins, the Rice Creek Watershed District Board of Managers would consider these types of
smaller projects as a local benefit.

5 043; a Resolution of Intent to Amend the Petition for the New Brighton/St. Anthony Basic Water
6 Management Project, Rice Creek Watershed District Project 2013-01, to Allow Implementation
7 of Mirror Lake and Hansen Park Project Components without Delay, to Acknowledge the
8 Allocation of Local Project Costs for the Mirror Lake and Hansen Park Project Components, to
9 Allow Proceeding to Project Phase 2 & 3 for other Project Components, to Consent to the

14
15 C. Resolution 14-044: a Resolution Adoptingthe he Sign Retroreflectivity Policy. Todd
16 Hubmer, WSB & Associates. presenting.
17
18 City Engineer Hubmer explained that Federal law requires cities to update their street signs and
19 pass certain minimum standards for sign reflectivity and the City is now required to have a
20 policy in place addressing signs and sign maintenance. He noted that the City currently replaces
21 all City street signs associated with a street reconstruction project.
22
23 Councilmember Stille asked about Article V regarding removal of signs and asked if bike route
24 signs are included as part of this policy.
25
26 City Engineer Hubmer stated the City will review signs in critical situations, e.g., pedestrian
27 crossing signs, snow plow route signs, and no parking signs and may want to change the location
28 of some of those signs so that attention is brought to the pedestrian crossing sign and to avoid
29 cluttering locations with multiple signs.
30
31 Motion by Councilmember Gray, seconded by Councilmember Stille, to adopt Resolution 14-
32 044; a Resolution Adopting Sign Retroreflectivity Policy.
33

40 on Chelmsford Road from 36`h Avenue NE to 37`h Avenue NE and 36`h Avenue NE from Silver
41 Lake Road to Highcrest Road. He pointed out that staff is proposing to add mill and overlay on
42 St. Anthony Boulevard from Ridgeway Parkway to the bridge crossing as well as some surface
43 improvements to select alleys. He advised that the City has been tracking the cost of
44 maintenance on its alleys and the cost to continue to maintain them is rapidly approaching the
45 cost to reconstruct. He explained that several alleys were not reconstructed as part of flood
46 mitigation on the south side of the City and those alleys are a priority. He presented the project
47 schedule and stated that construction is scheduled to begin in May 2015 with substantial
48 completion in September 2015.

21 person per day along with nonperishable food, flashlights, radio, extra cash, and mediations. He
22 reminded residents that City staff are prepared and have the experience and training to assist

Report Date: June 24, 2014
Resolution 14-047; a resolution Authorizing the Execution of a Joint Cooperation Agreement
Between the City of St. Anthony Village and Hennepin County for Participation in the Urban
Hennepin County Community Development Block Grant Program in Fiscal Years 2015-2017
OVERVIEW.
Before you is a resolution authorizing the Execution of a Joint Cooperation Agreement between the
City of St. Anthony Village and Hennepin County for Participation in the Urban Hennepin County
Community Development Block Grant program in fiscal years 2015-2017.
Since the last executed agreement, HUD is requiring certain changes to the Joint Cooperation
Agreement. The changes are as follows:
• Additional language stating that the agreement covers not only the CDBG Entitlement
program and the HOME Investment Partnership (HOME), but also the Emergency Solutions
Grants *(ESG) Programs.
An additional provision that a unit of general local government may not sell, trade or
otherwise transfer all or any portion of the such funds to another such metropolitan city,
urban county, unit of general local government, or Indian tribe, or insular area that directly
or directly receives CDBG funds in exchange for any other funds, credits or non -Federal
considerations, but must use such funds for activities eligible under Title I of the Act.
• Clarification of Fair Housing Language
• The Planning and Administrative cost language has been expanded to reflect the County's
growing costs associated with compliance and timeliness monitoring and the potential need
for future increases within the term of the JCA.

25, 2014.

compliance with Section 109 of Title I of the Housing and Community Development Act of 1974 (which
incorporates Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act Of 1973 and the Age Discrimination Act of 1975), and other
applicable laws.
IV. ACTIVITIES
COOPERATING UNIT agrees that awarded grant funds will be used to undertake and carry out, within the
terms of this Agreement, certain activities eligible for funding under the Act. The COUNTY agrees and will assist
COOPERATING UNIT in the undertaking of such essential activities by providing the services specified in this
Agreement. The parties mutually agree to comply with all applicable requirements of the Act and the Regulations
and other relevant Federal and/or Minnesota statutes or regulations in the use of basic grant amounts. Nothing in
this Article shall be construed to lessen or abrogate the COUNTY's responsibility to assume all obligations of an
applicant under the Act, including the development of the Consolidated Plan, pursuant to 24 CFR Part 91.
COOPERATING UNIT further specifically agrees as follows:
A. COOPERATING UNIT will, in accord with a COUNTY -established schedule, prepare and provide to
the COUNTY, in a prescribed form, requests for the use of Community Development Block Grant
Funds consistent with this Agreement, program regulations and the Urban Hennepin County
Consolidated Plan.
B. COOPERATING UNIT acknowledges that, pursuant to 24 CFR §570.501(6), it is subject to the same
requirements applicable to subrecipients, including the requirement for a written Subrecipient
Agreement set forth in 24 CFR §570.503. The Subrecipient Agreement will cover the implementation
requirements for each activity funded pursuant to this Agreement and shall be duly executed with and
in a form prescribed by the COUNTY.
C. COOPERATING UNIT acknowledges that it is subject to the same subrecipient requirements stated in
paragraph B above in instances where an agency other than itself is undertaking an activity pursuant to
21
this Agreement on behalf of COOPERATING UNIT. In such instances, a written Third Party
Agreement shall be duly executed between the agency and COOPERATING UNIT in a form
prescribed by COUNTY.
D. COOPERATING UNITS shall expend all funds annually allocated to activities pursuant to the
Subrecipient Agreement.
All funds not expended pursuant to the terms of the Subrecipient Agreement will be
relinquished to the COUNTY and will be transferred to a separate account for reallocation on
a competitive request for proposal basis at the discretion of the COUNTY where total of such
funds is $100,000 or greater. Amounts less than $100,000 shall be allocated by COUNTY to
other existing activities consistent with timeliness requirements and Consolidated Plan goals.
E. COUNTY and COOPERATING UNITS shall expend all program income pursuant to this Agreement
as provided below:
Program income from housing rehabilitation activities administered by the COUNTY will be
incorporated into a pool at the discretion of the COUNTY. The pool will be administered by
COUNTY and will be used for housing rehabilitation projects located throughout the entire
Urban County. When possible, COUNTY will give priority to funding housing rehabilitation
projects within the COOPERATING UNIT where the program income was generated. Funds
expended in this manner would be secured by a Repayment Agreement/Mortgage running in
favor of the COUNTY. Program income generated by certain COOPERATING UNITS that
administer their own housing rehabilitation activities may be retained by the COOPERATING
UNIT at its discretion; however, such COOPERATING UNITS will be bound by the
conditions of D.2., above. Only COOPERATING UNITS that were administering their own
activities pursuant to the Joint Cooperation Agreement pertaining to the HUD fiscal years
2012-2014 will be eligible to retain their program income.
2. COUNTY reserves the option to recapture program income generated by non -housing
rehabilitation activities if said funds have not been expended within twelve (12) months of
being generated. These funds shall be transferred to a separate account for reallocation on a
competitive request for proposal basis administered by COUNTY or, where the total of such
funds does not exceed $100,000, shall be reallocated by COUNTY to other existing activities
consistent with timeliness requirements and Consolidated Plan goals.
F. COOPERATING UNITS are encouraged to undertake joint activities involving the sharing of funding
when such action furthers the goals of the Consolidated Plan and meets the expenditure goals.
G. If COUNTY is notified by HUD that it has not met the performance standard for the timely
expenditure of funds at 24 CFR 570.902(a) and the COUNTY entitlement grant is reduced by HUD
according to its policy on corrective actions, then the basic grant amount to any COOPERATING
UNIT that has not met its expenditure goal shall be reduced accordingly.
H. COOPERATING UNIT will take actions necessary to assist in accomplishing the community
development program and housing goals, as contained in the Urban Hennepin County Consolidated
Plan.
1. COOPERATING UNIT shall ensure that all activities funded, in part or in full by grant funds received
pursuant to this Agreement, shall be undertaken affirmatively with regard to fair housing, employment
and business opportunities for minorities and women. It shall, in implementing all programs and/or
22
activities funded by the basic grant amount, comply with all applicable Federal and Minnesota Laws,
statutes, rules and regulations with regard to civil rights, affirmative action and equal employment
opportunities and Administrative Rule issued by the COUNTY.
J. COOPERATING UNIT that does not affirmatively further fair housing within its own jurisdiction or
that impedes action by COUNTY to comply with its fair housing certification shall be prohibited from
receiving CDBG funding for any activities.
K. COOPERATING UNIT shall participate in the citizen participation process, as established by
COUNTY, in compliance with the requirements of the Housing and Community Development Act of
1974, as amended.
L. COOPERATING UNIT shall reimburse COUNTY for any expenditure determined by HUD or
COUNTY to be ineligible.
M. COOPERATING UNIT shall prepare, execute, and cause to be filed all documents protecting the
interests of the parties hereto or any other party of interest as may be designated by the COUNTY.
N. COOPERATING UNIT has adopted and is enforcing:
I. A policy prohibiting the use of excessive force by law enforcement agencies within its
jurisdiction against any individuals engaged in nonviolent civil rights demonstrations; and
2. A policy of enforcing applicable State and local laws against physically barring entrance to or
exit from a facility or location which is the subject of such nonviolent civil rights
demonstrations within its jurisdiction.
O. COOPERATING UNIT shall not sell, trade, or otherwise transfer all or any portion of grant funds to
another metropolitan city, urban county, unit of general local government, or Indian tribe, or insular
area that directly or indirectly receives CDBG funds in exchange for any other funds, credits or non -
Federal considerations, but must use such funds for activities eligible under Title I of the Act.
COUNTY further specifically agrees as follows:
A. COUNTY shall prepare and submit to HUD and appropriate reviewing agencies, on an annual basis,
all plans, statements and program documents necessary for receipt of a basic grant amount under the
Act.
B. COUNTY shall provide, to the maximum extent feasible, technical assistance and coordinating
services to COOPERATING UNIT in the preparation and submission of a request for funding.
C. COUNTY shall provide ongoing technical assistance to COOPERATING UNIT to aid COUNTY in
fulfilling its responsibility to HUD for accomplishment of the community development program and
housing goals.
D. COUNTY shall, upon official request by COOPERATING UNIT, agree to administer local housing
rehabilitation activities funded pursuant to the Agreement, provided that COUNTY shall receive
Twelve percent (12%) of the allocation by COOPERATING UNIT to the activity as reimbursement for
costs associated with the administration of COOPERATING UNIT activity.
23
E. COUNTY may, at its discretion and upon official request by COOPERATING UNIT, agree to
administer, for a possible fee, other activities funded pursuant to this Agreement on behalf of
COOPERATING UNIT.
F. COUNTY may, as necessary for clarification and coordination of program administration, develop and
implement Administrative Rules consistent with the Act, Regulations, HUD administrative directives,
and administrative requirements of COUNTY.
V. ALLOCATION OF BASIC GRANT AMOUNTS
Basic grant amounts received by the COUNTY under Section 106 of the Act shall be allocated as follows
A. Planning and administration costs are capped to 20 percent of the sum of grant plus program income
that is received during the program year. During the term of this Agreement the COUNTY anticipates
planning and administrative retainage of thirteen to fifteen percent (13-15%);included in this
administrative amount is funding for annual county -wide Fair Housing activities.
B. The balance of the basic grant amount shall be made available by COUNTY to COOPERATING
UNITS in accordance with the formula stated in part C and the procedure stated in part D of this
section utilizing U.S. Census Bureau data. The allocation is for planning purposes only and is not a
guarantee of funding.
C. Allocation of funding will be based upon a formula using U.S. Census Bureau data that bears the same
ratio to the balance of the basic grant amount as the average of the ratios between:
1. The population of COOPERATING UNIT and the population of all COOPERATING UNITS.
2. The extent of poverty in COOPERATING UNIT and the extent of poverty in all
COOPERATING UNITS.
3. The extent of overcrowded housing by units in COOPERATING UNIT and the extent of
overcrowded housing by units in all COOPERATING UNITS.
4. In determining the average of the above ratios, the ratio involving the extent of poverty shall
be counted twice.
D. Funds will be made available to communities utilizing the formula specified in C of this Section in the
following manner:
All COOPERATING UNITS with aggregate formula percentages of greater than three and
one half percent (3.5%) of the total using the procedure in part C. of this section will receive
funding allocations in accordance with the COUNTY formula allocations.
2. COOPERATING UNITS with aggregate formula percentages of three and one half percent
(3.5%) or less of the total using the procedure in part C. of this section will have their funds
consolidated into a pool for award in a manner determined by COUNTY on a competitive
request for proposal basis. Only the COUNTY and COOPERATING UNITS whose funding
has been pooled will be eligible to compete for these funds.
M
E. The COUNTY shall develop these ratios based upon data to be furnished by HUD. The COUNTY
assumes no duty to gather such data independently and assumes no liability for any errors in the data
furnished by HUD.
F. In the event COOPERATING UNIT does not request a funding allocation, or a portion thereof, the
amount not requested shall be made available to other participating communities, in a manner
determined by COUNTY.
VI. METROPOLITAN CITIES
Any metropolitan city executing this Agreement shall defer their entitlement status and become part of
Urban Hennepin County.
This agreement can be voided if the COOPERATING UNIT is advised by HUD, prior to the completion of
the re -qualification process for fiscal years 2015-2017, that it is eligible to become a metropolitan city and the
COOPERATING UNIT elects to take its entitlement status. If the agreement is not voided on the basis of the
COOPERATING UNIT's eligibility as a metropolitan city prior to June 20, 2014, the COOPERATING UNIT must
remain a part of the COUNTY program for the entire three-year period of the COUNTY qualification.
VIL OPINION OF COUNSEL
The undersigned, on behalf of the Hennepin County Attorney, having reviewed this Agreement, hereby
opines that the terms and provisions of the Agreement are fully authorized under State and local law and that the
COOPERATING UNIT has full legal authority to undertake or assist in undertaking essential community
development and housing assistance activities, specifically urban renewal and publicly -assisted housing.

Request to Keep 5 Female Chicken at 3100 Hilldale Ave NE
I am requesting to house five female hens in my back yard as a hobby. I became interested in having
chickens after a friend began raising chickens and enjoying the benefits of fresh eggs.
On May 24, 2014, my friend and I bought 11 two week old chicks. If I am permitted, I will keep 5 of
the chicks and my friend will keep 6. We bought what we believe are all female chicks; however,
there is a 10% chance that any of the chicks could be a male. If any chicks are roosters, I have made
plans for roosters to be immediately relocated to a colleague's farm in rural Wisconsin. My intent is
to have all female chickens and will keep them as fully grown hens.
I have talked to both neighbors on each side of me about raising chicks and neither neighbor has any
concerns. One neighbor is quite excited and has offered advice and help as they had chickens in
Minneapolis before they moved to St Anthony. I have talked to my neighbor in the back kitty
komer from me and she has no concerns about the chickens. She shared that her sister has chickens
and has enjoyed urban chickens. The neighbor in back of me kitty corner on the other side has their
house up for sale and is not available. I have not discussed having chickens with the neighbor
directly behind me; however, if they voice any concern after the chickens, I will address their
concerns. We have thick pine trees and a privacy fence between my house and the neighbor behind
me and I do not anticipate any concerns.
I have a chicken coop 3 feet by 3 feet and an attached covered run 3 feet wide by 4 feet. The chicken
coop and run are attached to the bottom of a treehouse/playhouse structure that their father built
when our children were small. The playhouse footprint is 8ft X 611. The bottom portion of the tree
house/playhouse has been enclosed with a wood lattice and we have put in chicken wire inside the
wood lattice enclosed playhouse. The chickens will he able to be under the tree house and also walk
around in the chicken run. All structures are fully enclosed so the chickens will not be able to get
out, nor will predators be able to get in.
The playhouse is located 38 ft from the back of my house and 17 ft from the back privacy fence. It is
18 ft from my neighbor to the east's chain link fence and 50 ft from my neighbor to the west's chain
link fence. I have attached a diagram of my backyard for your review.
Thank you for your consideration of my request.

Resolution 14-049; a resolution Authorizing Membership in the Suburban Rate Authority, A
Joint Powers Organization Under Minnesota Statutes, §471.59, Authorizing Execution of the
Amended Joint and Cooperative Agreement and Appointing Jay Hartman and Mark Casey
as Director and Alternate, respectively, to the Suburban Rate Authority Board.
OVERVIEW:
Before you tonight is a resolution to approve the Joint Powers Agreement with the Suburban Rate
Authority (SRA). By becoming a member with the SRA, the City of St. Anthony will have a voice in
dealing with utility franchises and being an advocate for reduction to rate payers. The SRA members
are assessed on the basis of population and voting power. Each 5,000 in population or fraction
thereof, is equal to one (1) vote. Each vote equals a $400 per year annual assessment. St. Anthony
will have two (2) votes and be assessed $800 per year.
The SRA is a joint powers organization consisting of 28 Twin Cities Metropolitan Area suburban cities
totaling over 850,000 in population in 2014. Through a vote of its membership, the SRA is authorized
to intervene in rate matters affecting gas, electric and telephone services and rates charged to
municipalities and their residents and businesses. Related to that authority is SBA's involvement in
utility right-of-way use, gas and electric franchises, and wireless cell phone tower site regulation and
lease agreements. They are also authorized to address water and sewer issues.
The SRA was organized in 1963, for the purpose of providing collective strength in negotiating
franchises with Minneapolis Gas Company (later Minnegasco and CenterPoint Energy). In 1974, the
Legislature adopted the Public Utilities Act to provide for state regulation of gas and electric utilities,
except for cooperative electric associations and municipal utilities. Since that time, SRA has been
active in matters concerning gas, electric and telephone rate regulation and in legislation concerning
the Public Utilities Commission (PUC).
The SRA has addressed numerous issues of importance to municipalities in all matters of utility use
of right-of-way and other public ground, as well as rates paid by suburban ratepayers, including
municipalities themselves. The SRA responds to these matters within PUC proceedings, city
ordinances, agreements with utilities and occasionally in state legislation. The collective voice of and
combined resources of Twin Cities suburban municipalities has allowed the SRA to address utility
issues most single cities could never afford to take on.

SUBURBAN RATE AUTHORITY HISTORY AND ACCOMPLISHMENTS
This summary is intended to describe the history, purposes and accomplishments of the
Suburban Rate Authority ("SRA"). We hope you find this informative. If you have any questions
about the information, please contact Jim Strommen, SRA general counsel, at Kennedy &
Graven at 612-337-9233.
The SRA is a joint powers organization consisting of 28 Twin Cities Metropolitan Area
suburban cities (list of member cities attached) totaling over 850,000 in population in 2014. The
SRA is authorized to intervene in rate matters affecting gas, electric and telephone services and
rates charged to municipalities and their residents and businesses. Related to that authority is
SRA involvement in utility right-of-way use, gas and electric franchises, and wireless cell phone
tower site regulation and lease agreements. It is also authorized to address water and sewer
issues.
The material below attempts to demonstrate the tangible savings achieved by the SRA.
Though actual dollar savings are often difficult to calculate, the SRA has clearly saved residents
and businesses of Twin City suburban communities millions of dollars telephone, gas, and
electric rates since 1975.
SRA HISTORY
The SRA was organized in 1963, for the purpose of providing collective strength in
negotiating franchises with the Minneapolis Gas Company (later Minnegasco and CenterPoint
Energy), which served the original SRA members. In 1974, the Legislature adopted the Public
Utilities Act to provide for state regulation of gas and electric utilities, except for cooperative
electric associations and municipal utilities. SRA assisted the state in setting up regulation and
intervened in the early gas and electric cases to provide leadership and direction in utility
regulation. Since that time, it has been active in matters concerning gas, electric and telephone
rate regulation and in legislation concerning the Public Utilities Commission ("PUC").
In recent years, the SRA has addressed numerous issues of importance to municipalities
in all matters of utility use of right-of-way and other public ground, as well as rates paid by
suburban ratepayers, including municipalities themselves. The SRA responds to these matters
within PUC proceedings, city ordinances, agreements with utilities and occasionally in state
legislation.
ISSUES AND SAVINGS TO CITIES/RATEPAYERS
The collective voice and combined resources of Twin Cities suburban municipalities has
allowed the SRA to address utility issues most single cities could never afford to take on.
The SRA is careful to address unique issues not otherwise of interest or within the
expertise of state agencies or other parties involved in utility matters. Though described in more
detail below (see Estimated Dollar Savings, below), savings from recent SRA efforts in 2014
will result in approximately $350,000 in back credits to municipalities with sewer pumping
355483v1 1MS SU160-3 I
stations served by Xcel. From 2009-2013 the SRA successfully fought to expand Xcel power
outage credits for all electric customers and special municipal pumping customers, saving all
customers tens of thousands of dollars going forward. In 2006 the SRA won its designation to
maintain the municipal pumping rate class for Xcel Energy electric service, alone, which has
saved Minnesota cities with pumping stations served by Xcel anywhere from $1,000420.000
annually since Januar. SRA member Eden Prairie, for example, has likely saved $16,800 a
year since 2007 as a direct result of the SRA's success in the 2005 -filed Xcel Electric case
described below.
CURRENT AND PAST SRA PARTICIPATION
2014 Municipal Pumping Outage Credits. The SRA initially won the right in 2010 for
municipalities with pumping stations to be paid $200 for each outage of any duration that is
eligible for credits under Xcel Energy's tariff. Since that time cities received numerous credits
but Xcel had failed to recognize a collective $350,000 in credits, which the SRA discovered and
has now secured through PUC proceedings.
2013 Residential/Business Customer Outage Credits. Due to repeated, uncompensated
outages occurring within a residential neighborhood of an SRA member city, the SRA
successfully argued for an expansive formula to credit customers who have repeated electric
outages in Xcel service territory that remain unrepaired. These credits range from $50 to $125
and have been implemented since 2013.
2013 Street Lighting Rate Reduction. Due to SRA efforts in Xcel Energy's 2013 rate case,
electric rates paid by cities for street lighting saw no increase in 2013 and will stay the same in
2014-15, despite rising rates for other services. These savings total hundreds of thousands of
dollars collectively to cities and their ratepayers who may pay them directly or indirectly.
2011 Xcel Gas $3.5 Million Rate Base Reduction. The SRA successfully eliminated $3.5
million requested by Xcel Gas for predicted facilities relocation projects not proven to be funded
through the American Recovery Act.
2010 CenterPoint Energy $4 Million Rate Base Reduction. The SRA successfully eliminated
$4 million requested by CenterPoint in its rate case related to costs to replace faulty and
dangerous piping it purchased but did not inspect at the time of purchase.
2009-2013 CenturyLink Alternative Form of Regulation (AFOR). The SRA has intervened
actively on behalf of Twin Cities Metropolitan Area cities in the AFOR CenturyLink (formerly
Qwest) have utilized under Minnesota law since 1999. In these AFOR proceedings, the SRA has
sought and obtained important protections against pass-through costs to city residents and
businesses costs of CentuaLink facilities relocation and undergrounding. The SRA has further
obtained provisions providing for CenturyLink technology investment (such as DSL) in Twin
Cities suburbs. On December 31, 2013, the PUC extended the CenturyLink AFOR for another
three years. SRA will continue to participate to protect suburban cities and their ratepayers.

2008 Street Lighting Services Review. The SRA undertook a comprehensive review of its
street lighting providers and potential providers of equipment and maintenance services. This
process gleaned valuable information regarding terms and conditions of its encumbrance
provider, Xcel Energy, and numerous competitive equipment and maintenance service providers
interested in stepping into the deregulated street lighting environment. In conjunction with a
SRA sponsored independent consultant report, a number of resources and the availability of new
lighting efficiency technologies were identified, which are becoming increasingly important for
cities.
2007 Gas and Electric Franchise Renewals. The SRA has traditionally assisted its members
and established model gas and electric franchises. In 2007, many SRA members, and Minnesota
cities, are in the process of renegotiating their gas and electric franchises with their respective
serving utilities. The SRA has served as a resource on franchise terms including the
implementation of franchise fees.
2006 CenterPoint Energy Gas and Xcel Electric Utility Rate Cases. In the Xcel case, the
SRA, with the City of St. Paul- successfully opposed Xcel's proposed elimination of the
favorable municipal pumping rate class and negotiated agreements with Xcel regarding
substantive meetings on municipal pumping rates and street lighting service outages. The SRA
was also successful in opposing increases in residential fixed customer charges, which tend to
reduce conservation incentives when raised significantly by utilities. In both the CPE and Xcel
cases such customer charges will not increase as significantly as either utility originally
proposed. The SRA work with Xcel during 2007 and 2008 to identify strategies to reduce electric
rates and electricity usage at municipal pumping stations. It is through this process that the SRA
identified the method of how minimizinguse se of pumping stations during the six winter months
can result in the estimated $1,000420,000 annual savings in rates to city pumping station
electricity bills. The higher savings estimates would apply to larger municipalities with multiple
redundant wells using greater than 25 KW in electricity. It is likely that even small municipalities
would be able to utilize some savings from this method available because the SRA was able to
retain the municipal pumping rate in this rate case.
2005 Service Lateral Utility Locate Rules. The Office of Pipeline Safety Rules, effective
January 1, 2006, requires cities to locate water and sewer service laterals of utilities found in the
right-of-way. This includes service laterals that are privately -owned for water and sewer, located
deep under the right-of-way. The SRA assisted in the process of equipping cities within
ordinances and permit language to effectively obtain location information on newly -installed
water and sewer service laterals.
2004 Xcel Facility Relocation in Rights -of -Way. The SRA was active in protecting city rights
to require relocation of overhead electric facilities in the right-of-way.
2004 Consumer/Small Business Protection in Telephone Rates. SRA presence in the
legislative process had a significant impact on the comprehensive telecom legislation passed
during the 2004 session. The SRA led a group of interests resulting in the defeat of provisions
allowing unilateral rate increase authoritv and lower service standards sought by telephone
companies.

2003 Xcel Metro Emissions Reduction Plan -Audit. The SRA was a signatory to a plan
endorsed by the Governor's Office and approved by the Public Utilities Commission in
December 2003. The Plan will have a significant impact on Metro Area pollution reduction as
well as a reduction in the need for additional transmission upgrades and sites.
2003 Study of Municipalization of Electric Utility Service. The SRA funded a review by a
local utility consulting firm study of non -municipal utility cities acquiring electric facilities and
serving some or all customers within the municipality. This issue may have significant cost
saving potential for cities and their ratepayers, depending on future investor-owned utility rates.
2003 Gas and Electric Franchise Agreements and Fees. The renewed interest in franchises
and franchise fees is an area of expertise of the SRA. It has assisted many of its member cities in
establishing franchises and franchise fees.
1999-2002 Right -of -Way Management. The SRA participated significantly with the League of
Minnesota Cities and staff from Minneapolis and St. Paul in developing richt-of-wale islg ation,
right-of-way rules promulgated by the PUC and model right-of-way anagement ordinances
based on the 1997 legislation and 1999 PUC right-of-way management rules.
OTHER NOTABLE PAST SRA ACHIEVEMENTS
1998 612 Area Code Split along Municipal Boundaries. The SRA was the original and
primary advocate of area code boundaries drawn along municipal boundaries ("952", "763",
"651"), rather than telephone wire centers for the 612 area code split. Adoption of this position
by the Minnesota PUC was the first of its type in the United States.
1997-1999 Right -of -Way Legislation and Task Force Participation. The SRA played an
important role in assisting the League of Minnesota Cities in the 1997 comprehensive legislation
governing telecommunication providers' use of municipal right-of-way. The SRA also actively
participated in the preparation of the model right-of-way ordinance that arose out of this
legislation.
1996 Model Wireless Communication Lease Agreement. The SRA provided primary drafting
contributions to a League of Minnesota Cities Model Site Lease Agreement for PCS/cellular
communication antennas. This Model has been distributed to Minnesota cities for use in
negotiation on site lease agreements.
1995 Updated Model Gas and Electric Utility Franchises. The SRA and the League drafted
model utility franchise ordinances. The increasing deregulation in both the electric and gas utility
industries necessitated revisions to the previous model franchise ordinances approved by the
SRA.
1995 Minnegasco Fixed Residential Customer Charge Increase Denied. The PUC denied
Minnegasco's request for an increase in the residential customer fixed monthly gas charge from
$5 to $6 per month. The SRA was the sole party to argue that Minnegasco must make a greater
355483v11MS SU160-3 4
51
showing to justify requested and intended increases in the fixed, non -usage based monthly
charge. The requested increase was made without a showing that statutorily required
conservation policies would not be inhibited.
1992 US West Telephone Rate Savings. As of November 1, 1992, residential and business
telephone rates for US West Twin City local calling area became equal by class of service
throughout the metropolitan area. This PUC action eliminated the tiered telephone rates that were
in existence since 1980 and has saved outer Metro suburban ratepayers served by west millions
of dollars since its implementation. The US West Tier System charged higher rates for
residential and business customers living in the suburban areas. In 1984 the SRA achieved a
reduction of one half of the tier ratios. This elimination of the Tier System is a direct result of
SRA's intervention and arguments against differentiating telephone rates by geographic location.
1992 Municipal Pumping Rate Savings. Together with the City of St. Paul and the Municipal
Pumpers Association, SRA efforts consistently maintained pumping class rates at 2-3% below
general service class and have continued the municipal puning exemption from the eleven -
month demand ratchet rate imposed on commercial -industrial users. The SBA's expert
consultant has estimated that avoiding the eleven -month demand ratchet charge alone saves 7.5-
10% in annual municipal pumping charges paid to NSP/Xcel.
1991 NSP General Rate Filing. The SRA actively intervened in this NSP filing, wherein the
PUC rejected NSP's $120,000,000 rate increase request. The SRA focused on the municipal
pumpers' rate and street lighting. The SRA has traditionally been the only intervener to seek
reduced increases in the municipal pumping rate and has seen consistent success in that effort.
1990 US West Incentive Regulation Plan. The SRA actively intervened in the case involving
US West's request to be partially deregulated in its local service to residential and business
customers. The final order established stable rates for Twin City local telephone customers of US
West through August of 1994. US West shared 50% of its revenues above a 13.5% return on
equity.
1987 Northwestern Bell Extended Area Service Docket. The SRA made significant progress
in demonstrating cost inequities in the Twin City Metropolitan Area Northwestern Bell service
area. SRA participation in this case helped lay the ground work for the order abandoning the Tier
System.
1986 Redeliberation on Northwestern Bell Cases. The SRA obtained very substantial
reductions in the Tier System ratios. These changes resulted in very significant savings in
telephone rates for most SRA business and residential users prior to the elimination of this rate
design in 1992.
1985 Rate Structure Task Force. The SRA was active in the formulation of funding proposals
for the Combined Sewer Overflow ("CSO") projects in the Cities of Minneapolis, St. Paul and
South St. Paul. SRA involvement may have limited the pass-through of these costs to member
communities.
355483v1 JMS SU160-3
52
1985 Northern States Power General Rate Case. The SRA "pioneered" an issue as to fossil
fuel inventory. The SRA also helped maintain the municipal pumping rate, and defended prior
SRA accomplishments as to accounting practices. Very substantial savings were realized through
SRA intervention. This case was appealed to the Court of Appeals and the State Supreme Court
and the SRA (alone) participated with MPUC in successfully defending MPUC's action.
ESTIMATED COST SAVINGS FROM SRA EFFORTS
Tangible dollar savings from SRA efforts since 1977 to the taxpayer (through municipal
customer rates) and ratepayer in Twin City suburbs and beyond easily total in the millions of
dollars. The incremental reductions are often unnoticeable and small in amount to individual
ratepayers, but collectively over the years they are very significant.
Moreover, the above successes are unique to SRA and would not have occurred except
for SRA involvement. That is because there are a limited number of parties that have the
expertise or funding to participate in these PUC proceedings. Of those parties (state agencies,
industrial groups, environmental groups), only the SRA represents municipal interests and
suburban interests. Most of the issues noted above would not have been addressed if the SRA
had not been involved. A significant example of this is the elimination of the then US West
Tiered telephone rates in 1992. Without the SRA opposition to telephone rates that increased as
you moved away from the downtown areas of Minneapolis and St.Paul, one can assume such
tiered rates would have continued for many years beyond 1992, at greater expense to suburban
ratepayers.
The SRA has secured other intangible savings to its members through access to up-to-
date on right-of-way utility management, franchise agreements, wireless tower siting and other
issues vital to municipal regulatory powers. These are benefits all SRA members should take
advantage of at quarterly meetings and by request to general counsel, Jim Strommen at Kennedy
and Graven, 612-337-9233.
MEMBER ASSESSMENTS
The SRA members are assessed on the basis of population and voting power. Each 5,000
in population or fraction thereof, is equal to one vote. For instance, a city of 23,000 would have
five votes. For fifteen years, the SRA's assessment per vote has not increased. Each vote equals a
$400 per year annual assessment. The SRA has been very fiscally responsible and benefits
greatly from the continued membership of its members.
