1 Prohibited Signs (St. Anthony Mobil, 2801 Kenzie Terrace) Tabled at the July 8 2014
2 City Council meeting. Mark Casey City Manager, presenting.
4 City Manager Casey explained that this matter was tabled at the July 8, 2014, City Council
5 meeting and the 120 -day deadline for making a decision on this item is September 24, 2014.
6
7 Mr. Thomas Archambault, St. Anthony Mobil, approached the City Council and asked that the
8 City Council and Planning Commission move forward in a productive manner and asked that the
9 Planning Commission consider limiting the size and height of the requested sign to a maximum
10 height of 18" and limiting the message to only fuel prices with only one fuel price rather than
11 three fuel prices as recommended by the Planning Commission. He advised they presented
12 information to City Planner Johnson from the sign manufacturer about sign brightness and what
13 is acceptable in other municipalities, adding that the manufacturer recommends that signs be no
14 brighter than 3,000 nits during the day and 500-1,000 nits during nighttime hours. He suggested
15 that the City Council and Planning Commission consider setting off hours for signs, e.g.,
16 midnight to 4:00 a.m., as a way to improve safety and enhance the appearance of the City.
17
18 Councilmember Stille explained that the City Council heard two requests at its July 8d' meeting,
19 one request from St. Charles Borromeo to allow electronic signs for all public and private
20 schools and the other request from St. Anthony Mobil to allow signs advertising gas prices on all
21 gas stations throughout the community, and the request from St. Charles Borromeo was denied
22 and the request from St. Anthony Mobil was tabled. He stated that the statute requires the City
23 Council to act on any request within 120 days or the request is considered approved and the City
24 Council felt it was appropriate to bring back the request of St. Anthony Mobil and deny the
25 request in order to allow the City Council and Planning Commission to address this issue as
26 expeditiously as possible and to make sure it is done right the first time.
27
28 Motion by Councilmember Stille, seconded by Mayor Faust, to deny the applicant's request for a
29 Zoning Ordinance text amendment to allow gasoline stations to use electronic message signs to
30 display gas prices only.
31
32 Councilmember Gray stated he wanted to be clear that he would vote for the denial with the
33 understanding that the City Council and Planning Commission will be considering this issue
34 again in order to come up with a workable solution for the gas station and church as well as the
35 entire community.
36
37 Motion carried 3-0.
38
39 Councilmember Jenson arrived at 8:12 p.m.
40
41 B. Ordinance 2014-03 (or 02)• an Ordinance Amending Chapter & 111.045 through & 111.057
42 Pertaining to Tobacco (first reading). Mark Casey City Manager, presenting.
43
44 City Manager Casey stated the City Council previously imposed a moratorium on the creation,
45 establishment, or operation of businesses that sell electronic cigarettes or on the sampling of
46 electronic cigarettes and related products and the moratorium was established to provide an
47 opportunity to research regulations of electronic cigarettes and related devices. He stated if the
48 Ordinance is adopted, electronic cigarettes would be regulated under the Minnesota Clean Air
City Council Regular Meeting Minutes
August 12, 2014
Page 3
1 Act, thus prohibiting them in public spaces and pointed out the proposed Ordinance treats
2 electronic cigarettes just like tobacco.
4 Motion by Councilmember Stille, seconded by Councilmember Gray, to approve first reading of
5 Ordinance 2014-02; an Ordinance Amending Chapter § 111.045 through § 111.057 Pertaining to
6 Tobacco.
Motion carried 4-0.
10 C. Organized Collection. Mark Casev City Manager, presenting.
11
12 City Manager Casey explained that on June 29, 2014, the City completed its 60 day exclusive
13 negotiation period with Republic Services, Allied Waste, and Walters Recycling and Refuse, and
14 on June 30, 2014, the City Council received the collector's proposal which included a draft
15 agreement, and on July 8, 2014, the City Council received staff s analysis and directed staff to
16 meet with the collectors again regarding price and term of the proposal. He advised that
17 throughout the entire process the meetings have been productive and City staff felt the
18 negotiations were conducted in good faith and the collectors demonstrated a willingness to be
19 cooperative partners. He stated the Organized Collection Statute is a consumer -driven statute
20 and if the Revised Proposal is approved, residents will benefit from the collective bargaining to
21 receive consistent delivery of service, equitable pricing, and accountability in a transparent
22 manner and residents will not see additional add-on fees such as fuel surcharges, environmental
23 fees, or administrative fees, and the City will ensure that all provisions of the agreement are
24 enforced. He stated the collectors compared their proposed prices to three cities that operate as a
25 consortium and the collectors have proposed handling the billing, customer service, and public
26 education, therefore, the City does not have to manage the cash flow of billing. He advised that
27 City staff believes the sixteen priorities have been met and noted that the length of the contract
28 still needs to be determined, i.e., five years or seven years.
29
30 Mayor Faust asked when the public hearing would take place. He also asked if all the documents
31 including the proposed prices would be posted on the City's website.
32
33 City Manager Casey replied that the earliest date for the public hearing would be September 9,
34 2014. He also confirmed that all of the documents including the proposed prices would be
35 posted on the City's website.
36
37 Motion by Councilmember Stille, seconded by Councilmember Gray, to accept the Revised
38 Proposal for Comprehensive Residential Solid Waste and Recycling Services dated August 1,
39 2014, submitted by the City's licensed collectors and to direct staff to schedule a public hearing
40 on September 9, 2014, to consider the Revised Proposal.
41
42 Councilmember Gray reminded residents to keep in mind that they might end up paying more for
43 refuse and recycling and some residents might be paying less, adding that the City Council's
44 primary goal was not only to get better prices.
45
46 Motion carried 4-0.

12 Liquor Operations Manager Larson presented the mid -year report for liquor operations and stated
13 that profits from liquor operations are used for reducing the property tax levy, providing funds
14 for special projects, and providing funds for equipment purchases. He reviewed the five-year
15 profit history stating that since 2009, the liquor operations have averaged $485,000 in net profit
16 each year. He stated that through June 2014, sales have decreased $199,000 and net profits have
17 decreased $56,000 and explained that possible factors for the decrease includes weather, some
18 decreased shopping traffic at Silver Lake Village, and increased competition from brew pubs and
19 new off sale liquor stores. He stated that 2014 sales are projected at $6.4 million and 2014 net
20 income is projected at $325,400. He discussed several 2014 accomplishments, including many
21 wine and beer sampling events and increased social media and print advertising to combat the
22 decrease in sales. He stated they have been awarded the "Best Wine" and "Best Beer" selection
23 by Lillie Suburban Newspapers Readers Choice Awards. He stated that upcoming events
24 include the Touch a Truck event on September 13`h, the ten-year anniversary of the liquor stores
25 in their current locations, and October beer and November wine events, adding they are also
26 looking into implementing a customer loyalty program.
27
28 Mayor Faust noted that the City anticipated some pressure on its liquor operations based on what
29 is happening in the marketplace and urged the Liquor Operations department not to lower its
30 standards in any way.
31
32 Councilmember Stille agreed that the Liquor Operations should not alter its standards by any
33 means and stated the Liquor Operations has been a great operation and he was certain the
34 community would continue to support it.
35
36 Councilmember Gray stated he continues to hear from people that have tried other places that
37 they come back to the St. Anthony liquor stores and they want to do business here, adding that it
38 is not all about price and he urged the Liquor Operations staff to keep up the great work.

Village of St. Anthony
Project Overview — Community Engagement Initiative
Humphrey School of Public Affairs, University of Minnesota
August 18, 2014
Project Summary
Following on St. Anthony Village's goal to "foster and encourage civic engagement," this project
is focused on developing a proposed community engagement initiative. The initiative will be
informed by a "citizens' academy" model that emphasizes capacity building and enhancing
ongoing engagement with residents in the community. The initiative will focus on a variety of
goals:
1) Engaging a diverse range of residents over an extended period of time through a series
of activities,
2) Informing residents about the functions and structures of the local government,
3) Building skills, capacity, and leadership experience of participants for ongoing
engagement, and
4) Exploring key community issues to begin setting a vision for the community.
The engagement initiative is intended as proactive, promoting engagement with the intent of
building strong relationships between government and residents. Participants will have the
opportunity to learn about the community and its government, and participate in activities
focused on key local issues (e.g. infrastructure, schools, amenities, redevelopment). The
outcomes of the initiative could be informative to St. Anthony's next comprehensive plan
update, providing information and building a strong base of participants who understand the
community and are motivated to play a leadership role by promoting engagement among their
fellow residents. The initiative is intended as a visible, high profile effort that emphasizes the
participatory opportunities available to St. Anthony residents. The initiative will account for
existing engagement efforts (e.g. Police Department citizens academy) and community events
(e.g. Night to Unite), potentially leveraging these and adding others to build out a robust,
stimulating, and accessible community engagement initiative. There will be a focus in the
initiative on engaging diverse set of residents.
Student Role
Students in PA 5253 Designing Planning and Participation Processes in the Humphrey School of
Public Affairs at the University of Minnesota will develop 2-3 proposals for the community
engagement initiative. The students in this course are primarily graduate level students in the
Master of Urban and Regional Planning program, and thus have strong knowledge of community
engagement strategies and practices. The project will be built into an existing assignment that
requires student teams to design participation processes in response to a mock Request for
Proposals (RFP). A mock RFP will be developed around this project, giving students the
opportunity to gain familiarity with RFP content and experience in responding to community
aspirations and expectations expressed in these kinds of documents. The students will produce
20-30 page proposals for the community engagement initiative, outlining tasks, activities, and
timelines. They will also address approaches to promotion, recruitment, and communication.
The final proposals will be organized as professional documents that have effective content
tailored to St. Anthony Village and quality design and layout.
W.
Timeline
The project will be completed during the Fall 2014 semester and will include the following key
dates:
August 26th — instructor presentation to City Council
Early September—draft RFP to City Manager for review
Mid September— staff visit to class to describe project
Early October—student team meetings with staff
Early -mid December — staff visit to class for final presentation
Mid December— deliver final student projects to staff, student team presentations to staff
and/or City Council
The course instructor will work with the City Manager to identify specific dates and coordinate
logistics.

REQUEST FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION
Meeting Date: August 26, 2014
Ordinance 2014-02, an Ordinance Amending Chapter §111.045 through §111.057 Pertaining
to Tobacco. (second reading)
On November 13, 2013, the St. Anthony City Council adopted Ordinance 2013-04 that
imposed a moratorium on the creation, establishment or operation of businesses that sell
electronic cigarettes and on the sampling of electronic cigarettes and related products in
businesses. This moratorium was established to allow staff the opportunity to research
regulations of electronic cigarettes and related devices.
Before you tonight for consideration is the amended Tobacco ordinance with language
addressing electronic cigarettes and related devices. If adopted, electronic cigarettes would
be regulated under the Minnesota Clean Air Act, thus making them prohibited in indoor
public places. Staff's rationale is based on three areas 1) preserving public health, 2)
protecting young people, and 3) guarding against enforcement confusion.
The first reading of this ordinance was August 12, 2014 with no changes to the proposal
ordinance. This is the second of three readings of the proposed ordinance.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: August 26, 2014
TO: City Council
FROM: Mark Casey, City Manager
Shelly Rueckert, Finance Director
ITEM: GENERAL FUND BUDGET/LEVY
At the August 4`h work session, the City Council and Staff reviewed the 2015 General Operating.
Additionally, a public hearing was held April 22"d for public input on the budget process.
Based on discussions with the Council, Staff has prepared a proposed 2015 General Operating
Budget. This represents a $218,900 dollar or a 3.9% percent increase from 2014. The
parameters for preparing the budget included:
1) Revenues are budgeted using current trends for variable revenue sources and
conservative estimates for stable revenue sources. Expenses are budgeted at amounts
that will maintain present levels of City services.
2) Salaries adjustments are estimated at union settlements.
3) Health Insurance premiums up 10.5% with the City's share of costs estimated at
union settlements.
4) State Pension funding rates up 3.5-5.9% for 2015, worker compensation costs up
13%, other insurance costs up 12.25%, and energy related expenses are expected to
increase at various rates
5) Road levy increase of .94% results from the addition of the 2014 Road Project along
with slight increases in debt requirements for Public Facilities and Tax Abatement
Debt. Mitigated by the schedule levy reduction of $147.500.
Levy Relief was achieved by the use of $62,448 of additional Local Government Aid and debt
levy reduction as detailed below:
■ Pre -levy relief increase
7.64%
■ With debt reduction
5.01%
■ With additional LGA
3.90%
■ Estimated increase in City rate with TIF

A review of the proposed 2015 total levy is as follows:
The annual transfer of Liquor Operating Profits helps reduce taxes and provides funding for
capital equipment. In 2015, Liquor Operations will transfer $214,244 to the General Fund and
$181,200 to the Capital Equipment Fund.
To help offset the cost of operations and capital equipment, Staff will continue to seek Grants
and Donations from Federal; State and private sources.
At the September 9`h City Council meeting, Staff will again present the proposed 2015 General
Operating Budget and Property Tax Levy to the City Council. At this meeting a resolution will
need to be passed certifying the preliminary levy to Hennepin and Ramsey Counties.
The final presentation of the 2015 General Operating Budget and Property Tax Levy is
scheduled for the December 9`h, 2014, Council Meeting. At the meeting, Staff will present a
recap of the 2015 General Operating Budget and the impact of the 2015 Property Tax Levy.
