The low bidder had been First Bank 2 National Association of Minneapolis at an interest rate which was 3 lower than expected, the City's financial adviser indicated. Mr. 4 Thistle also advised that the City had retained its "A" rating with 5 Moody's Investors Service. 6 Mr. Childs reiterated that all principal and interest, which would be 7 close to $1,200,000, would be due in five years, at which time, if 8 the City is not successful in recovering damages from the "respon- 9 sible parties" for the water contamination, new bonds would have to 10 be sold and repaid from the City's water revenues. 11 Council Action 12 Motion by Marks, seconded by Ranallo to adopt Resolution 88-024. 13 RESOLUTION 88-024 14 A RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING ISSUANCE, AWARDING SALE, 15 PRESCRIBING THE FORM AND DETAILS AND PROVIDING FOR THE 16 PAYMENT OF $875,000 GENERAL OBLIGATION -REVENUE WATER SYSTEM 17 BONDS, SERIES 1988A 18 Motion carried un 19 Firefighters'_ Union Contract Ratified 20 Motion by Enrooth, seconded by Marks to adopt the resolution which 21 ratifies the above and to direct the City Manager to bring the 22 "system of Promotion" clause up for renegotiation with the next 23 contract. 24 RESOLUTION 88-025 25 A RESOLUTION RATIFYING THE 1988-89 AGREEMENT 26 BETWEEN THE CITY AND TEAMSTERS LOCAL NO. 320, 27 REPRESENTING THE ST. ANTHONY FIRE DEPARTMENT 28 AND AUTHORIZING THE MAYOR AND CITY MANAGER TO 29 EXECUTE THE AGREEMENT ON BEHALF OF THE CITY 30 Motion carried unanimously. 31 RESORTS 32 JUNE 21, 1988 PLANNING COMMISSION MINUTES - COMMISSIONER JOHN MADDEN 33 Mural Concept Withdrawn by Shopping Center Management Company 34 Rod Johnson of the Eberhardt Company indicated his company was no 35 longer interested in pursuing the proposed mural on the back of the 36 St. Anthony Shopping Center in view of the Commission reservations 37 about including the City's logo in the painting and in face of 5 1 similar opposition from the Councilmembers during the conversations 2 which followed Commissioner Madden's report. 3 The general consensus was that the mural would do nothing to correct 4 existing signage problems in the center and that it would be better 5 to defer any action on the center until after the center owner's 6 representative, Joe DiSanto had met with Councilmembers and Commis - 7 sioners later this summer. 8 Councilmembers told Mr. Johnson they were not failing to recognize 9 the improvements which the managers had already made in the area, 10 including the uniform painting above the storefronts and the black - 11 topping of the parking lots nor the fact that better communication 12 between the City and the owners had resulted from changes in person - 13 nel in both the owners' New York representative and the Eberhardt 14 Company. However, the perception continued that much more had to be 15 done to keep the center from deteriorating to the point where it 16 matched the condition of the shopping area adjacent to theirs on the 17 southwest. 18 Mr. Johnson responded by saying: 19 *the mural which could be paid from center cash flow monies, 20 had only been requested as a means of dressing up the back of the 21 center, which was exposed to Kenzie Terrace traffic and the view 22 from the City fire station; 23 *the managers have requested the City help towards getting some 24 sort of financing within the 5% to 8% interest range to pay for 25 uniform signage which would cost from $150,000.00 to $200,000.00 and 26 could never be saved from the cash flows; 27 *it's not realistic for the City to expect the owners to put one 28 two million dollars into a center for which property values and/or 29 rents could never be expected to be raised to levels which would cover 30 that type of expenditure; 31 *the owners rather resented the fact that the City had failed 32 to give any sort of recognition of the money they had already spent 33 in the last year towards improving the center or the fact that the 34 type of signage had been upgraded for each new store which went into 35 the center in the last few years. 36 The response to these remarks was: 37 *that the City welcomed better communications with both the 38 owners and the Eberhardt company after so many years of getting no 39 response to either letters or calls; 40 *the Council did recognize improvements were starting to be 41 made but were concerned they wouldn't go any farther; 2 1 *a meeting with Mr. DiSanto could be very beneficial for both 2 parties as long as the owners' representative is able to propose some 3 sort of plan for providing further improvements, especially for 4 standardizing the center signage; 5 *the City didn't want him to spend a lot of money on expensive 6 layouts, but just wanted some concrete assurance that some real 7 improvements were in the works; 8 *even though industrial development bonds can't be issued for 9 retail improvements, the City wants to work with the owner to get the 10 center upgraded so the vital businesses which are there will stay and 11 more will be encouraged to move into the center. 12 Councilmember Marks recalled how difficult it had been eight years 13 ago,when the Kenzie Terrace Task Force first started working on a 14 redevelopment project for the area, to get any cooperation from the 15 merchants or center management. He speculated that had the avenues 16 of communication been as open then as now, conditions might never 17 have been allowed to deteriorate to the point they are now. 18 Mr. Johnson promised to give the City ample notice of the upcoming 19 meeting with Mr. DiSanto. 20 Rapid oil Signage Approved 21 Commissioner Madden reported all seven Commissioners had been in 22 favor of the Council granting the variances to the City Sign Or - 23 dinance, which would allow three signs for the new Rapid Oil building 24 and a total signage area of 87-1/2 square feet where the Ordinance 25 only allows one sign per business and 80 square feet of total sign 26 surface. He indicated the Commissioners perceived Rapid Oil would be 27 making excellent use of a very difficult corner parcel which had been 28 reduced when Ramsey County reconstructed that intersection and County 29 Road D. The Commission representative said the Commissioners had 30 been particularly impressed by the amount of green space the station 31 owners were proposing to provide with the new building. 32 Robert Mikulak, 3041 -4th Avenue South, Minneapolis, Rapid Oil Project 33 Manager, told the Councilmembers demolition of the building would 34 start August 1st and construction should take about two months. This 35 should bring them well within the time frame for removing the 36 existing pylon sign the City was allowing them to keep up as a 37 business identification. 38 The Rapid Oil representative indicated all three signs would be lit 39 probably until around 10:00 P.M. and the site lighting would be 40 turned off around midnight. However, the site lighting is a new 41 technology designed to project no further than the property line so 42 it would not be apt to be an annoyance for the owners of the homes 43 across 37th Avenue. 7 1 As requested by the Commission, Mr. Childs said he had researched the 2 minutes dealing with the Paul Revere Pizza sign lighting next door 3 and found no evidence of lighting restrictions imposed when that sign 4 had been approved several years ago. The consensus was that no more 5 stringent lighting restrictions should be imposed on this business. 6 Council Action 7 Motion by Marks, seconded by Ranallo, to grant the request from Rapid 8 Oil, 3701 Silver Lake Road, for the necessary variances to the City 9 Sign Ordinance which would allow them to erect the three wall signs 10 they propose on their new building, where the Sign Ordinance only 11 allows one sign per business, and total sign surface not to exceed 12 87-1/2 square feet, where the Ordinance only allows 80, finding as 13 did the Planning Commission that: 14 1. All three conditions required by statutes to be satisfied 15 before these variances can be granted have been done so with this 16 proposal. 17 2. The variances are justified by the unique construction 18 location and architectural design of the building which best 19 utilizes the site and accommodates the traffic flow for the benefit 20 of the business and safety of the customers and traffic approaching 21 that corner. 22 3. The proposal includes landscaping which is above normal for 23 this type of operation. 24 4. There were no expressions of opposition to the variances either 25 before or during the June 21st Planning Commission hearing or 26 Council consideration, July 28th. 27 In granting these variances, the City allows Rapid Oil to keep 28 the same hours of building and site lighting as are kept by the 29 neighboring businesses. 30 Notion carried unanimously_ 31 Motorcycle Sales and Accessories Approved as Conditionally Permitted 32 Uses in City Zoning Ordinance 33 Commissioner Madden reiterated the information Leo Kuelbs, owner of 34 the Harley-Davidson dealership in Savage, MN, had provided the 35 Commissioners during the June 21st hearing on his request that the 36 City Zoning Ordinance be amended to allow the sale of this type of 37 motorcycle and accessories in the vacant space west of B. J. Antique 38 store in the St. Anthony Village Shopping Center. The Council's 39 agenda packet contained the same documentation as had been provided 40 the Commissioners. W 1 The Commission representative reported the Commissioners were in 2 agreement that making this a conditionally permitted use would give 3 the City more control over the activities carried on in this or 4 similar operations in the City in the future. Mr. Kuelbs was 5 accompanied by his son, Kevin Kuelbs, who is in business with his 6 father in Savage and both answered questions about the proposed 7 facility. 8 Kevin Kuelbs responded to Councilmember Makowske's concerns about 9 having a lot of motorcycles roaring around the new Kenzington. He 10 stated that most of their customers are previous Harley-Davidson 11 owners who are checking out the new models and he expected only an 12 average of three or four of these a day would want a test ride. He 13 said that the dealership owners don't push testing because they're 14 naturally leery about putting $10,000 or $12,000 investments out on 15 the highway without good cause. He also indicated that contrary to 16 what some people think, the average age of a Harley-Davidson owner 17 is 34. 18 Mr. Childs explained that the ordinance amendment had to be given two 19 more readings by the Council and during that time period, the 20 conditional use permit application could be presented to the Planning 21 Commission for their recommendations related to conditions under 22 which the Kuelbs' proposal could be approved. If the Commission 23 recommends approval, the Council can act on their recommendation at 24 the same meeting as they give the third reading and adopt the 25 ordinance. 26 Council Action 27 Motion by Marks, seconded by Enrooth to approve the first reading of 28 the ordinance amendment which adds "Motorcycle sales and accessories" 29 as a "conditionally permitted use" in a "C" General Commercial 30 District, in accordance with the recommendations of the Planning 31 Commission. 32 ORDINANCE 1988-007 33 AN ORDINANCE RELATING TO ZONING; 34 AMENDING ORDINANCE 1976-006 35 Notion carried unanimously. 36 Change in Definition of "Shopping Center" Approved for Sign ordinance 9 1 Mr. Soth proposed several more changes in wording to what the 2 Planning Commission had recommended the Council adopt which were 3 accepted in the following: 4 Council Action 5 Motion by Marks, seconded by Enrooth to approve the first reading of 6 Ordinance 1988-008 to change the definition of "Shopping Center" in 7 the 1973 Code of Ordinances to: 8 Shopping Center: any group of four or more retail stores 9 or service establishments on one or more contiguous tracts 10 of land in single ownership, comprising 18,000 or more 11 square feet of floor area with parking provided on the tract 12 or tracts of land for use in common by patrons. 13 ORDINANCE 1988-008 14 AN ORDINANCE RELATING TO LICENSES, PERMITS, AND 15 BUSINESS REGULATIONS, AMENDING SECTION 430:00 16 OF THE 1973 CODE OF ORDINANCES 17 !lotion carried unanimously. 18 Councilmembers Cast First "Votes" on New Optiscan Voting Machines 19 The intricacies of the above equipment were demonstrated by Mr. Hamer 20 and Mrs. Johnson during the recess from 8:30 to 8:55 P.M. called by 21 the Mayor for that purpose. 22 COUNCIL REPORTS 23 Mavor Sundland Asked to Represent Minnesota in Russia 24 Sundland reported receiving an invitation from the Senate Majority 25 Leader, Roger Moe, to participate in the People to People Interna - 26 tional trip to Russia, September 19th. The Mayor said the only thing 27 holding him back from accepting was the $4,450.00 cost involved in 28 making the trip. However, his employer had shown some interest in 29 making up a part of the cost and Mr. Childs perceived there might be 30 some interest on the part of St. Anthony service organizations for 31 donating towards the trip which would generate such good publicity 32 for the City. Councilmember Ranallo indicated he could see where 33 there might be some justification for City expenditure to augment 34 these donations in view of the honor which would come to the City by 35 having its Mayor selected from all the other municipal officials to 36 represent Minnesota in this manner. 37 Mayor Sundland said he was also going to contact the Mayor of St. 38 Anthony's "Sister City", Salo, Finland, to see if she could meet him 39 in Helsinki during his one day layover in that city. 10 1 Senator Marty Reiterates Claims About Value of New Property Tax Law 2 in Phone Calls Following His Appearance Before Council. 3 Makowske reported she had been one of the Councilmenbers who had 4 gotten a call after Senator Marty had done further research on the 5 issue which he perceived supported his claim that the tax changes 6 would be good for St. Anthony in the long run. Councilmember Ranallo 7 commented that only time and experience would show who was right in 8 that controversy. 9 Councilmembers Invited to Join Recycling Task Force in Tour of 10 Reuters Plant 11 Enrooth reiterated that the Task Force was "a very diligent commit - 12 tee" who hoped to have a recommendation ready for the Council's 13 August 9th meeting. He invited any Councilmember who could make it 14 to join the above tour July 12th and to see for themselves the 15 alternatives to incinerating waste which will be demonstrated at that 16 plant. The Councilmember told Mayor Sundland one of the issues 17 which intrigued his committee the most was how to dispose of the 18 endless supply of household batteries which release such dangerous 19 toxins into the soil when they are sent to landfills. 20 Ranallo Reports Attendance at League Human Development Steering 21 Committee Meeting in Washington, D.C. Previous Weekend 22 The Councilmember said he found the first meeting of this National 23 League of Cities committee very interesting, especially when it came 24 to the issues of "child care" and Urban homelessness." In relation 25 to the first, he said the Committee was split about 70 to 30 in favor 26 of cities paying for early child care through a joint effort with the 27 state and federal governments. Councilmember Ranallo indicated the 28 reasoning behind that support came from the figures showing the 29 number of children under the age of 6 who are in the families whose 30 homes are in the streets. 31 32 33 Both Mr. Childs and Councilmember Ranallo had gotten calls from the 34 above person within the last few days. Mr. Childs said he understood 35 from his conversation with the man that the driver had been going 15 36 miles over the speed limit when last tagged and was complaining that 37 St. Anthony's 35 mile/hr. speed limit on County Road "D" was too 38 low. The resident had also suggested the City install a flashing 39 light on 37th Avenue to warn drivers of the drop in speed coming 40 into St. Anthony going westbound. The City Manager stated that the 41 presence of the Wilshire Park school was adequate reason to have traffic 42 slowed down and that the police would continue to conscientiously en - 43 force the speed limit. Councilmember Marks indicated he anticipated there 44 might be an increase in complaints about police vigilance now that 45 St. Anthony Boulevard has been reconstructed and the bumps which 11 1 previously slowed down drivers coming off Highway 35 have been 2 eliminated. Mr. Childs said he was certain the officers would be 3 making efforts to maintain safe speeds in that area as well. 4 Marks Thanks Congressman Sabo for His Efforts Related t3the City's 5 water Contamination Problems 6 The Councilmember reported attending a function the previous evening 7 where he expressed the above appreciation for the Congressman's 8 efforts. 9 Historical Committee Efforts to be Promoted in City Newsletter and by 10 Council Contact 11 Marks indicated his wife had agreed to become a member of the above 12 and suggested Ruth Harris, retired St. Anthony librarian would also 13 be a good candidate; 14 Childs said he was writing an article on the Committee for the July 15 15th Newsletter; 16 Sundland reported efforts to get memorabilia and plaques related to 17 the original Village Volunteer Fire Department, including a plaque 18 which has all the names of the first firefighters, which he intends 19 to hang on the Council Chambers walls. 20 Carol Johnson Thanked for 22 Years of Service 21 Before the May, 1988 Financial Summary was ordered filed, Councilmem- 22 ber Ranallo observed that this would be the last of such reports 23 prepared by Mrs. Johnson who had only a day and a half remaining 24 before she retired. He thanked her for all the work she had done for 25 both the City and various Councils over the years. His remarks 26 generated a round of applause from all who were present. 27 Mrs. Johnson thanked them and reiterated that she would actually be 28 returning under special contract as Deputy Clerk to work on the 29 elections this year. 30 CITY MANAGER REPORTS 31 June 21, 1988 Staff Meeting Notes 32 Mr. Childs reported that: 33 *the last half of the above meeting had been devoted to a 34 review of the goals set at the February retreat and a short 35 progress report on those goals was being prepared for dis- 36 tribution later that week and discussion at a later Council 37 meeting; 38 12 1 *staff would be making another progress assessment in Sept - 2 ember or October in accordance with the schedule established 3 during the retreat; 4 *the budget process would be the same for this year, but in 5 1989 the process would probably be started in the spring to 6 meet the August deadline the State Legislature had mandated 7 for that year. 8 Sale of Parkview to City Approved by 4 to 2 School Board Vote, June 9 20th 10 After the City had gotten the above go ahead for the transfer, Mr. 11 Childs reported staff had gotten a quote to do the required environ - 12 mental audit from the Bruce Leisch and Associates, the firm who are 13 also doing the background research in conjunction with the City's 14 water contamination lawsuit. The audit is necessary to ascertain 15 through a record and historical search and asbestos and underground 16 storage tank investigations that there are no major contamination 17 problems on the site which nullify the purchase. There are three 18 underground storage tanks which feed the boilers in the building now, 19 but these would probably have to come out anyway if the City replaces 20 the heating system and two of them are located in the building alcove 21 facing Silver Lake Road which the Police Department has proposed 22 covering up for a squad car parking area. 23 With an asbestos survey, which would cost between $1,200 and $3,000, 24 depending on the level which is required, Mr. Childs estimated it 25 would cost the City about $4,000 to get the audit done. He asked for 26 a formal authorization to proceed with the audit, indicating that, as 27 directed by Council resolution, the City would be proceeding with the 28 purchase unless the environmental audit uncovered problems of a 29 magnitude which would require further Council action. 30 Coanoil ACt] 31 Motion by Ranallo, seconded by Makowske to authorize the City Manager 32 to retain Bruce Leisch and Associates to do the environmental audit 33 necessary as part of the City's acquisition of the Parkview facilit- 34 ies. 35 36 Council Not Interested in Joining Constitutional Challenge to 1988 37 Omnibus Tax Bill 38 The Association of Metropolitan Municipalities had sought input and 39 advice on the request from the Municipal Legislative Commission that 40 the AMM participate in a legal challenge to a portion of the above 41 legislation. The City Manager was directed to inform the AMM that 42 the City is not interested in being included in the lawsuit. 13 1 St. Anthony Boulevard Open for Traffic 2 Mr. Childs reported most of the work on the project had been com- 3 pleted except for striping and dirt behind the curb replacement. 4 Because of the drought conditions, sodding would be delayed until the 5 fall. He reiterated that the police would be paying close attention 6 to traffic speed on the new roadway. 7 Kenzie Terrace Pedestrian Signal Operational 8 Mr. Childs indicated great pleasure in announcing this project, 9 which, along with the St. Anthony Boulevard reconstruction project, 10 had been in the works for many years, had been completed that 11 morning. 12 Pure Water for St. Anthony by End of July 13 As anticipated, the pads and piping for the carbon filtration system 14 are being installed this week and by the time the carbon cylinder 15 installation and testing are completed, Well #3 should be ready. The 16 City should have all three wells in operation by the end of the 17 month, Mr. Childs reported. The Manager speculated now that they 18 know St. Anthony water is again as pure and drinkable as it was 19 before it was contaminated by runoff from the arms plant, people from 20 outside the City might again be showing up at the fire station with 21 containers to get St. Anthony water. 22 Staff had been able to negotiate the waiver necessary to meet H.U.D. 23 restrictions on the $150,000 CDBG funding for the project, Mr. Childs 24 added. 25 He was shooting for a christening ceremony with toasts in water 26 rather than champagne to be held just before the Council's July 26th 27 meeting, the Manager said. He hoped the occasion would merit the 28 amount of media attention it deserved because the "City is at last 29 able to tell its residents and the whole world that St. Anthony once 30 again has good drinking water to offer its residents." 31 Manaaer's Report Hits Intended Target 32 Copies of his latest Downgradient report had been distributed to the 33 Council and Mr. Childs reported satisfaction with the report he had 34 from the New Brighton Manager that the Army had not been too happy 35 to see his comments on the City's frustration with the Army's 36 footdragging related to a resolution of the City's water contamina- 37 tion problems. There were no Council suggestions that he should 38 moderate the tone of any future reports. 39 Manager Doesn't Foresee Any Radical Changes in City's #6 Fire Rating 40 After Inspection 14 1 Although the insurance industry would be making its first inspection 2 of the City firefighting facilities since 1973 in the next few weeks, 3 Mr. Childs based the above prediction on the fact that there had 4 been little or no change in either the City's or Fire Department's 5 size in the last 15 years. He said a change in rating points either 6 up or down would probably have little effect on the amount of 7 Homeowners Insurance premiums residents would have to pay. 8 UNFINISHED BUSINESS 9 Wheels Set in Motion for City's Music Pavilion (Bandshell) 10 Councilmember Ranallo proposed adoption of the resolution which 11 would support the above project being placed on the priority list for 12 funding as part of the "Celebrate Minnesota 1990" observance. 13 Council Action 14 Motion by Marks, seconded by Enrooth to adopt Resolution 88-026. 15 RESOLUTION 88-026 16 A RESOLUTION APPROVING FUNDING FOR A MUSIC 17 BANDSHELL IN ST. ANTHONY VILLAGE AS PART OF THE 18 "CELEBRATE MINNESOTA 1990" OBSERVANCE 19 Notion carried unanimously. 20 Second Reading of Ordinance Exempting City From License/Permit Fees 21 Approved 22 Motion by Ranallo, seconded by Marks to approve the second reading of 23 Ordinance 1988-006. 24 ORDINANCE 1988-006 25 AN ORDINANCE RELATING TO LICENSING, 26 EXEMPTING THE CITY FROM LICENSING FEES 27 AND REQUIREMENTS; AMENDING SECTION 510:00 OF THE 28 1973 CODE OF ORDINANCES 29 Notion carried unanimously. 31 Motion by Ranallo, seconded by Enrooth to adjourn the meeting at 9:31 32 P.M. for the St. Anthony Housing and Redevelopment Authority meeting 33 which followed immediately. 34 Notion carried unanimously. 15 1 Respectfully submitted, 2 Helen Crowe, Secretary 3 4 Mayor 5 ATTEST: G7i/32c� 6 -kms `J 6 City Clerk 7 :cjk
