COMMUNITY FORUM. 24 Mayor Cavanaugh invited any residents in the audience to speak to the Council on items that are not on 25 the regular agenda. 26 Resident Ron Hansen expressed his opposition to an electronic sign in the City of St. Anthony. Mr. 27 Hansen explained that there are three reasons for which he is opposed: cost,technology, and safety. 28 He stated that the area where they are proposing to put the sign is one of the busiest intersections in the 29 City. He suggested that the Council do some sort of study to determine how the community wishes to 30 communicate as a city. 031 Colleen Kapsch, winner of the Kiwanis Builders Club Contest, came forward to thank the Council for 32 their support in her trip to Washington D.C. She added that it was a wonderful opportunity for her to City Council Meeting Minutes 2 July 24, 2001 Page 2 1 be able to spend time with mentors. She stated that her speech was presented at their opening general 2 session before five hundred Kiwanis Key Club Members and thought it was a great opportunity to get 3 the message of Kiwanis and the Builders Club across. 4 Ms. Kapsch thanked the Council again for all of their support, and encouraged them to continue to 5 support Kiwanis and the Builders Clubs, as all the students are appreciative. 6 Mayor Cavanaugh stated that the community was very proud of Ms. Kapsch. 7 Resident Jeff Winker came forward and referred to the last time that he was before the Council, when s he expressed the difficulty he was experiencing in trying to get his home inspected. He stated that, as of 9 today, his home has finally been inspected. He asked the Council to state their perspective on the 10 difficulty people were experiencing with getting their homes inspected. 11 Mayor Cavanaugh acknowledged that it has been slow, and that he was just thankful that he finally got 12 his home inspected today. He apologized for the length of time it took, and said he appreciated Mr. 13 Winker contacting, so that the Council could follow through on their obligations. He added that Mike 14 Mornson was the focal point in the community to take care of issues such as this. • 15 Councilmember Thuesen stated that he also was sorry for the length of time it took to for Mr. Winker 16 to get his house inspected. Councilmember Hodson echoed Councilmember Thuesen. 17 VII. CONSENT AGENDA. 18 Motion by Councilmember Thuesen to approve the Consent Agenda. Said Consent Agenda consisted 19 of: 20 1.

GENERAL POLICY BUSINESS OF THE COUNCIL. 27 A. Middle Mississippi Watershed District budget discussion(Report pages are included in packet, 28 but not numbered. 29 Mike Momson asked Tom Frame to come forward and inform the Council of where they are in the • 30 process. Councilmember Sparks asked Mr. Frame to solicit final comments about the budget. 31 Mr. Frame introduced Jon Steadland. Mr. Steadland stated that he would provide a review. City Council Meeting Minutes 3 July 24, 2001 Page 3 1 Mr. Steadland stated that a watershed is based on drainage patterns and that it is required by th e state 2 of Minnesota that in the Metropolitan area, a Watershed Management Organization needs to cover 3 every piece of the land in the nine county Metropolitan area. He added that he and Mr. Frame 4 represent the Middle Mississippi Watershed District. 5 Mr. Steadland stated that Councilmember Sparks is the representative for the City of St. Anthony of 6 the Middle Mississippi Watershed Board. Mr. Steadland stated that money for the watersheds is 7 created through levies which will be discussed tonight. 8 Mr. Frame stated that he would discuss three items this evening: the projects and programs,the budget 9 they are proposing, and their commitment to the City of St. Anthony and their other partners in the 10 watershed. 11 Mr. Frame stated that the projects would be funded by levy. He stated that the Watershed 12 Management Plan which would be implemented in 2002, which consists of three projects/programs: 13 the creation of a wetland in a near north-side housing project in North Minneapolis, the creation of a 14 wetland in the Southeast Minneapolis industrial area, and improvements in the upper Mississippi River 15 (which would include stream bank restoration and improvement in access to the River). • 16 Mr. Frame stated that the programs that they are proposing are a benefit throughout the Watershed: 17 combined sewer overflow program to address the problem of the overflows as they exist, to develop 18 and integrate a Flood and Drought Plan, and to address non-point source pollution. Mr. Frame went 19 through each item and stated that they were proposing a budget of$3,500,000 million, most of which 20 would be carried by the City of Minneapolis. He stated that the City of St. Anthony would carry 21 1.93%of the budget, and 3.3% is the land area within the watershed. 22 Mr. Frame added that the numbers are estimates, due to the changes in legislature, and that they are 23 working with the County Assessors Office to determine the actual redistribution. He added that they 24 are committed to the City of St. Anthony, and the other communities to work with them and identify 25 specific projects that will benefit the watershed. 26 Mr. Frame thanked the Council for the opportunity to update them and asked for any questions. 27 Councilmember Hodson asked for a definition of-CSO,and the $200,000 that was mentioned in a 28 letter from Mr. Frame to the Council in June. Mr. Frame stated that CSO stands for the Combined 29 Sewer Overflow. Councilmember Sparks stated that the $200,000 was not the City of St. Anthony's 30 portion of the budget for the Watershed, but is a grant program, and asked Mr. Frame to review their 31 portion of the budget. • 32 Mr. Frame stated that the $3,500,000 is what is being proposed, and they would be voting on the 33 budget for approval and implementation on August 16`h, 2001. City Council Meeting Minutes 4 July 24, 2001 Page 4 I Mayor Cavanaugh asked about the Estimated Tax Capacity portion of the handout. Mr. Frame stated 2 that the levy amount is based upon what their projected budget costs would be to implement the 3 programs over a number of years. He added that the share of the $3,500,000 budget for the City of 4 St. Anthony was$67,510.46 for the first year. 5 Councilmember Horst asked how the Middle Mississippi River Watershed Management Organization 6 (MMRWMO) interfaces with the Metropolitan Council on the sewage issues that he mentioned. Mr. 7 Frame stated that the Metropolitan Council owns the Interceptor System, and the MMRWMO owns s the Storm Drain and Sanitary System, which each are responsible to maintain. 9 Councilmember Sparks asked what an interceptor was. Mr. Frame stated that it is a major drainage to tunnel that accepts the municipal waste from all of the municipalities throughout the Metropolitan area 11 which are interconnected to drain through to the Metroputin Facility. 12 Councilmember Sparks asked about the backups that occur in people's basements, and if it is the City 13 of St. Anthony's sewers,and not the interceptors that cause the problem. Mr. Frame indicated that 14 determining the answer to that is part of the integrative portion of the plan. 15 Councilmember Thuesen asked how closely MMRWMO works with the Metroputin Council. Mr. • 16 Frame stated that they are a separate governmental entity, but that one of their goals is to maximize 17 themselves by working with the local communities as well as the regional governments. 18 Councilmember Thuesen stated that one of the big goals for the City of St. Anthony would be to 19 eliminate some of the sanitary sewer backups. Mr. Frame stated that what they hope to do with the 20 Combined Sewer Overflow Program is to identify what is contributing to that type of problem. He 21 added that the Integrative Flood and Drought Planning would also play a role in attempting to eliminate 22 the problem with sewer backups by determining a better way to collect rainwater than by dumping it 23 into the sanitary sewer. 24 Councilmember Sparks suggested that they remove the St. Anthony' Harding Street Holding Pond, and 25 the 29`h Avenue Storm Sewer Reconstruction from their Capital Project Implementation Schedule 26 because they are in process and near completion. 27 Mayor Cavanaugh asked about the Non-point Sourcing. He stated that it seems that the use of 28 phosphorous seems to be greening out Silver Lake, and requested that they educate and determine a 29 different product to be put on the grass. 30 Councilmember Thuesen mentioned an old study on phosphorous that indicated, if applied correctly, it 31 has no bearing on the grass and the lakes. He agreed with Mayor Cavanaugh that he was in favor of • 32 education on the product. 33 B. Discussion of Northwest Quadrant Study options (Craig Rapp of DSU and Jim Prosser of 34 Ehlers and Associates will be present.) City Council Meeting Minutes 5 July 24, 2001 Page 5 t Mayor Cavanaugh indicated that a resolution to move the two recommendations for the Northwest 2 Quadrant forward was possible tonight. 3 Mike Mornson stated if they adopt the Plan tonight, they would be exhausting the Smart-Growth Grant 4 from Metropolitan Council. 5 Craig Rapp,DSU, came forward to distribute the adjustments to the final document that were made 6 following the Planning Commission Meeting on July 17, 2001. He indicated that the adjustments will 7 appear in the final document. 8 Mr. Rapp stated that there exist two Concept Plans for the Northwest Quadrant. He indicated that the 9 goal of the next step is to reach out to the developing community with as much flexibility as is possible it 10 order to receive a number of well-qualified proposals. 11 Mr. Rapp indicated that he would highlight Chapter five in the Report which discusses the Master 12 Framework. He stated that it communicates the standards and guidelines that they wish to impart on 13 the developer community: • 14 5.1 Development Principles and Patterns 15 -Identity,-character, and diversity 16 -Integration with community 17 -Integration of uses remaining in and around development area 18 5.2 Street Pattern 19 -Use of existing access points 20 -Development of roadway spine through site 21 -Reintroduction of grid within site 22 -Sidewalks and pedestrianibicycle paths 23 -Transit linkages 24 5.3 Open Spaces 25 -Development of key central open space 26 -Network of open spaces throughout development 27 -Linkage with Hennepin Parks Regional Facility 28 5.4 Natural Environment 29 -Silver Lake Water Quality 30 -Integration of Stormwater Management into open space network 31 5.5 Building Development 32 -Site Planning Principles 33 -Define spaces with buildings, not parking lots. 34 -Create a variety of looks to match variety of types. • 35 -Maintain a pedestrian friendly environment. 36 -Provide visual terminus points. 37 -Surround the central open space. 38 -Building Placement, Height, Massing 6 City Council Meeting Minutes July 24,2001 Page 6 1 -Parking 2 -Signage 3 -Lighting 4 5 Mr. Rapp elaborated on the above items and stated that items that the community may perceive to be 6 simple, common sense approaches are the things that are important to identify and illustrate in the 7 document. He added that, in doing so, the developer will understand what the community wants as a 8 final product, as well as know how to market and cost out the specifics. 9 Mr. Rapp continued that the rest of the report contains the implementation of the Northwest Quadrant 10 Development Schedule, and the Financial Analysis. He stated that DSU has brought the process to the 11 point of requesting approval of the two alternatives that they have put forward. He added that the 12 following step would be to authorize the development team to move forward to the Marketing Phase. 13 Jim Prosser, Ehlers and Associates, stated he would discuss three different items with the Council this 14 evening: the Implementation Process, how the concept would be used in the Implementation Process, 15 and the financial gap. 16 Mr. Prosser added that they are currently providing similar services to over a dozen other projects, and • 17 the experience that they gain from those projects helps them to help the City of St. Anthony in getting . 18 from the Concept Phase to the Implementation Phase of the redevelopment project. 19 Mr. Prosser stated that the framework for the future implementation requires them to take the design 20 framework and package it with other materials in order to market it to developers. He stated that they 21 have already been contacted by a few developers. Mr. Prosser added that the marketing would start 22 as early as tomorrow, upon approval to move forward tonight. 23 Mr. Prosser outlined the initial process for the developer: identify their qualifications in terms of 24 experience with similar types of redevelopment, complete a development program worksheet which 25 identifies the project components, and a site plan with more specific information. 26 Mr. Prosser indicated that they would also suggest that the City provide a pre-proposal conference 27 which will give developers an idea of what the City is specifically looking for. He stressed that the 28 number one question that is asked during that conference is if the City is committed to the 29 redevelopment project. 30 Mr. Prosser stated that developers have about four weeks to present a proposal. He added that they 31 are evaluated based upon the development program. Mr. Prosser indicated that they would also 32 evaluate their ability to pay for land,TIF projections, their ability to secure equity and financing, and is 33 their overall consistency with the concepts that have been presented. 34 Mr. Prosser stated that some of the types of concerns that were raised during public presentations 35 include the impact that certain types of development may have on schools, city services, water quality City Council Meeting Minutes Pz July 24, 2001 Page 7 1 and traffic. He added that Ehlers captured that type of information and would be able to include that as 2 part of the evaluation criteria. 3 Mr. Prosser stated that the end result is a report with the.various development proposals and the 4 evaluation. He added that Ehlers uniformly does not provide a recommendation to the City. He added 5 that they feel it is much more important that the City looks at the information and makes a selection. 6 Mr. Prosser stated that it was not unusual to segment the project, and look at multiple developers for 7 different parts of the project. He added that they recommend that the City narrows the field and invites s the developers back to make presentations to them before the City makes a selection. Mr. Prosser 9 stated that even after they make that selection, they are only entering into the Preliminary Development 10 Phase which allows the developers to provide a little more detail in all of the areas. 11 Mr. Prosser indicated that once the developer and City Staff are comfortable, Ehlers recommends that 12 they go to the community to gather feedback on the proposal before the formal presentation for 13 consideration for the Final Development Stage. Mr. Prosser indicated that the Final Development 14 Stage includes negotiating issues such as land use, and any needs for financial assistance. 15 Mr. Prosser indicated that one of the chief concerns that a community has over TIF Fund usage is • 16 whether the developer really needs that level of assistance, or not. He stated that Ehlers would provide 17 them with a Perform Analysis which would provide an examination of the actual financial need along 18 with a recommendation. 19 Mr. Prosser continued with the next step, the financial gap. He stated that the need is bigger than they 20 thought. He added that when they first looked at this project, a very rough estimate revealed a cost of 21 $33,000,000, with a gap of$2,300,000-$2,500,000, which is very manageable. 22 Mr. Prosser indicated that the legislature changed that gap to $12,000,000. He added that the 23 feasibility of the project needs to be determined by the City. Mr. Prosser stated that the fundamental 24 question is if accepting the status quo was an option. He continued that, if the City is comfortable with 25 the option to do nothing, then that needs to be looked at. He added that, if it is not an option, then he 26 believed that the gap was something that can be managed. 27 Mr. Prosser stated that one way to fill the gap was to look at outside funding. He added that another 28 way to close the gap was to look at staging the project where they would not need to acquire all the 29 land at one time. He identified a third way to lessen the gap as trying to incorporate existing businesses 30 into the development. 31 In summary, Mr. Prosser acknowledged the significant challenges, and added that it is the challenges • 32 that make the need for the project to happen. City Council Meeting Minutes July 24, 2001 Page s 1 Councilmember Horst asked about the overall financial. He stated that $33,000,000 is the City portion 2 of what the City portion would be. Mr. Prosser added that, at this time, they are not recommending for . 3 the City to incur any obligation to buy the property and do the demolition. 4 Councilmember Horst asked where the gap was. Mr. Prosser stated that the cost to acquire, relocate, 5 demolish and public improvements equals roughly$33,000,000. He stated that adding the revenues 6 that would come from development, and the tax increments together then look at the cost of the project 7 also equals the gap. s Councilmember Horst asked if it was true that there was a$2,500,000 gap that would need outside 9 funding such as Metropolitan Council. Mr. Prosser stated that was correct, but values and costs 10 included in the estimates may also reduce the gap. 11 Councilmember Horst asked how large a development this was in terms of taxing. Mr. Prosser stated 12 that they were looking at an increment of $1,000,000 plus of new taxes. 13 Councilmember Horst stated that he thought the best option was the Corporate Campus idea because 14 of the scale in the population growth, but does not see how it can be paid for. Mr. Prosser stated that 15 the impact of Residential versus Corporate Campus have to be measured very carefully. He added that • 16 it is not accurate to look at a proportional increase in city services on a population basis. Mr. Prosser . 17 continued that retail has the greatest impact on city services, and that higher density housing is the most 18 efficient housing. 19 Planning Commissioner Chair Melsha stated that the Planning Commission struggled with the financial 20 feasibility, as well. He added that the details of their recommendation were that attention be paid to the 21 expenses incurred by the City as they go through the process. 22 Councilmember Horst stated that if they decided to approve to move forward, he needs to see some of 23 the models of higher density housing because it is very scary to him. He added that the City really 24 needs to be behind this project, and that he did not want to prevent the project from happening, yet 25 made his fears known. 26 Councilmember Thuesen asked about the twenty-five year TIF. Mr. Prosser stated that no action 27 taken tonight commits them to using TIF, and that they will need to examine that on an individual usage. 28 Councilmember Thuesen thought it was safe to say that a substantial portion of TIF would probably be 29 used for the project. 30 Councilmember Thuesen referred to the portion in the Redevelopment Plan that indicates that people 31 rent out of choice, not out of obligation. Mr. Rapp addressed Councilmember Thuesen's concern, and • 32 stated that, as the demographic bulge of the baby boomer generation goes through and people make a 33 variety of housing choices for a maintenance-free lifestyle, it is happening in increasing numbers. City Council Meeting Minutes 9 July 24, 2001 Page 9 1 Councilmember Thuesen expressed his concern over the possibility of mismanaged apartment 2 buildings. He added that it was important to him to have certain safeguards in place to prevent 3 . apartment buildings from falling in the hands of negligent managers. 4 Councilmember Thuesen asked if they would be considering the higher density housing with 69% of the 5 housing being rental unit if they were not in a financial bind. Mr. Rapp stated that the more value dollars 6 they can create, the less tax increment subsidy and the better the project works, regardless of the type 7 of dollar it is. s Councilmember Thuesen referred to some cookie-cutter housing developments he saw recently, and 9 stated that structures like that would be an aesthetic nightmare in the City of St. Anthony. Mr. Rapp 10 stated that is exactly why they have the framework in place. 11 Mr. Prosser stated that if they do not like the higher density Concept Plan then they should not approve 12 it. He added that the housing densities mentioned are very consistent with the patterns working in other 13 parts of the Metropolitan area, and that more people are looking for that type of residential living. Mr. 14 Prosser also stated that they would not recommend a Concept Plan that was not a solid plan with 15 sound principles from a planning perspective. • 16 Councilmember Thuesen referred to the possibility of cutting corners on quality as the project goes 17 along, and his concern to prevent this from happening and leaving them with cheaply made housing. 18 Mr. Rapp stated that they have direct control in this process to prevent that from happening. 19 Councilmember Thuesen asked about the Herberger's lease. Mr. Prosser indicated that the 20 Herberger's lease was not identified in the cost, which indicated that the numbers could go up. 21 Councilmember Thuesen stated that the TIF amount made him nervous. 22 Councilmember Thuesen stated it would be a good idea if the superintendent of the schools would 23 provide.a statement to the city they were on board with the project, as well as any concerns they are 24 having regarding a potential enrollment increase. 25 Councilmember Thuesen indicated that he would support this tonight, although he feels there is a lot of 26 legwork ahead of them to make the project work.- 27 Councilmember Sparks asked Planning Commissioner Chair Melsha how the public hearing went at 28 their meeting. Chair Melsha stated that the meeting was nearly filled to capacity with residents. He 29 added that a few residents addressed the Commission, and that, as a community, they seemed 30 informed of what was happening. 031 Councilmember Sparks asked about the Market Analysis and what the research firm thought that the 32 City could accommodate, she stated the Concept Plan we exceeded the capacity provided by the 33 Market Analysis by five units. Geoff Betzel, DSU, stated that the total number Councilmember Sparks City Council Meeting Minutes 10 July 24, 2001 Page 1 o i identified from the Market Study are not necessarily additive, and that the five extra units are within the 2 margin of error. 3 Councilmember Sparks-asked if it would need to be redone before the lenders look at it. .Mr. Rapp 4 stated that, in order to get a loan for an apartment,they would need to have a Market Analysis done by 5 a credible source-which would be part of the Lending Package. 6 Councilmember Sparks asked about the recommendation by the Market Analysis of for-sale own- 7 homes versus the framework recommendation for all rental units. Mr. Rapp stated that the town-homes 8 in the framework were for-sale town-homes. 9 Councilmember Sparks asked what high-value development was, as referred to on page 4.5. Mr. 10 Rapp stated that, in that context, high-value development means that if they have something going in that 11 is high-cost to develop, in order to make a profit, a developer would come in to determine costs, and 12 ways of covering the costs in order to make a return. He added that they are already assuming that 13 they have a relatively high-cost project which would demand a higher-priced product mix to make sure 14 that it covers those costs and that an investment return is generated. 15 Mayor Cavanaugh stated that the higher-cost development was an issue of which to be aware. He • 16 referred to the Riverfront Development and freezing out the existing residents of the community because 17 it is too far out of reach. 18 Councilmember Sparks asked about the potential height of the one hundred unit senior housing. Mr. 19 Rapp stated that it was to be determined by the City, but that they are imaging it to be around eight 20 stories tall. 21 Councilmember Sparks asked if they have given any thought to the changing demographics in twenty 22 years. Mr. Rapp indicated that the housing industry has learned that too much of any one product is 23 bad for any location and any city. He added that a broader mix will lead to adaptive reuse of a space 24 for a different demographic type. 25 Councilmember Sparks stated that she agreed with Councilmember Thuesen for the need to learn some 26 of the experiences that other communities have faced as they have gone through similar projects. 27 Councilmember Sparks stated that Chapter 6 indicated that Ehlers has not engaged in any conversation 28 with U.S. Bank, and that she was discouraged to hear that. Mr. Prosser stated that Ehlers was not 29 authorized, nor would they recommend having discussions with U.S. Bank until they perceive that the 30 Council wants to move froward. • 31 Councilmember Sparks asked how much of a partner they would be, if they were able to proceed. 32 Mr. Prosser stated that the partnership that they would envision includes a major property owner that 33 has been part of the community. City Council Meeting Minutes �1 July 24, 2001 Page 11 I Councilmember Sparks asked when they become part of the process. Mr. Prosser stated he hoped 2 they already feel like they are part of the process. He added that they need to keep the communication 3 open, and need to advise them when they would be contacted. 4 Councilmember Hodson stated he appreciated the process, and commended all of the parties 5 responsible for getting them this far. He continued that numbers do not scare him, and that he fully 6 supports the Planning Commission's decision to move forward and fund this process of investigating 7 what those proposals will examine. s Mayor Cavanaugh also thanked all of those involved, especially the Northwest Quadrant Task Force. 9 He added that he sees this project as the same spot that the City was in during the Water Task Force. 10 He continued that they are at the right place, at the right time with a plan, and that luck plays a large role 11 in success. 12 Mayor Cavanaugh stated that he was excited to get to the next step, and that it was crucial that they 13 develop a synergy among the different structures. He added that the product that has been delivered to 14 them was right on the money. Mayor Cavanaugh stated that the City was well equipped to take on the 15 project with a strong City Manager and City Council. He concluded that he shared all of the 16 apprehensions that were expressed tonight. • 17 Councilmember Hodson asked about the funding that they were looking at for the second phase. Mike 18 Mornson stated that they were looking at about $25,000 to get to the second phase where they would 19 have a developer picked, which would come out of the H.R.A. funding from the Smart-Growth 20 Initiative. 21 Councilmember Horst reminded the Council that they said they were going to be flexible. He stated 22 that they were not operating with an open checkbook, as was included in the recommendation by the 23 Planning Commission. He added that he does not have much faith in the Council. 24 Mayor Cavanaugh asked Councilmember Horst to elaborate on his lack of faith in the Council. 25 Councilmember Horst referred to a past issue that he chose to not rehash. 26 Motion by Councilmember Hodson to approve Resolution 01-070, re: Approving the Northwest 27 Quadrant Plan and authorizing proceeding with the second phase of the project. 28 Motion carried unanimously. 29 X. REPORTS FROM COMMISSIONS AND STAFF. 30 A. Planning Commission- July 17, 2001. 1031 1. Ordinance 2001-002, re: Electronic signs (1"reading). 32 Planning Commissioner Chair Melsha stated that they have gone back to the conditional use 33 permit because they felt that it gave the City a lot more control. City Council Meeting Minutes 12 July 24, 2001 Page 12 1 Melsha reviewed the ordinance with the Council and stated they were trying to avoid being 2 reactive and not allow projects to drive their decisions. 3 Councilmember Thuesen asked that the hours of operation be changed to 10:00 p.m. and 6:00 . 4 a.m. The Council agreed to change the hours. 5 Councilmember Sparks thought the tennis court lights were on until 11:00 p.m. 6 Jerry Gilligan indicated that they could impose different requirements as part of a conditional 7 use and for different times of the year. 8 Councilmember Horst asked if anyone on the Council considered an electronic sign blight. The 9 Council responded that they did not. Councilmember Horst suggested that they offer this 10 conditional to businesses. He added that he was a little uncomfortable in doing for the City 11 what they do not allow for the businesses. 12 Mayor Cavanaugh stated he was under the impression that businesses did not want this 13 because it is too restrictive. • 14 Councilmember Thuesen stated that the use of the internet could help the City communicate to 15 the public. However, he stated, he sees just cause for the sign 16 Resident Ron Hansen came forward to express his disappointment in the process. He added 17 he felt he was wasting his time because the electronic sign is a done deal. Mr. Hansen stated he 18 thought this sign was a blight to the City. He stated he has received calls of support. 19 Mr. Hansen stated that this sign is going to take more landscaping maintenance when 20 landscaping maintenance is already neglected. 21 Mayor Cavanaugh stated that, at this date,the Council has not made any decision to put a sign 22 in. Therefore, he added he did not want to go through his list of hypothetical. He added that 23 there is a resolution before them to amend the ordinance,nothing else. 24 Mr. Hansen stated that he was opposed to-the ordinance. He stated that safety was his 25 primary concern, and that it would be too great a distraction for drivers. 26 Councilmember Sparks stated that perhaps Mr. Hansen should do some research and gather 27 evidence that supports his concern for safety regarding the sign. • 28 Mr. Hansen stated it was common sense that the sign would be a distraction when driving, and, 29 therefore, a safety issue. City Council Meeting Minutes 13 July 24, 2001 Page 13 1 Mayor Cavanaugh stated that the safety issue is a concern, that they will work through." 2 Councilmember Hodson echoed the Mayor's concern for safety. 3 Motion by Councilmember Sparks to approve re: An ordinance relating to signs; amending 4 section 1400.04, section 1400.07, and section 1400.12, subd. 4 of the St. Anthony City Code. 5 Amending subd 4. Section b to 10:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. 6 Motion carried 4-1. Councilmember Horst opposed. 7 XI.

COMMUNITY FORUM. 15 Verna Woodridge, Kensington Homes, indicated she heard a rumor that the police and 16 fire department were going to be gone shut down. She questioned if this was true. 17 Mayor Cavanaugh indicated this was only a rumor and noted the Council would be 18 addressing these issues within the budget discussion at this meeting. 19 20 V. ACTION ITEMS. 21 A. Consent Agenda 22 Motion by Sparks to approve the Consent Agenda as presented. Said Consent Agenda 23 consisted of: 24 1. Licenses and Permits. 25 2. Claims. 26 3. Resolution 01-072 relating to deferment of Special Assessments for 2001 street 27 projects. 28 Motion carried unanimously. 29 B. Resolution 01-071 • 30 Mayor Cavanaugh indicated he was extremely proud to see this item before the Council 31 for their approval. Rosemary Franzese, Hennepin County Parks Commissioner, stated 32 she has been working on this item for two years with the Salvation Army to acquire this 16 City Council Study Session Minutes August 14, 2001 Page 2 1 property and was now seeking Council's consent. 2 Jeff Brauchle, Legal Counsel, stated there will be a closing on this site within 30 days. 3 He indicated environmental tests need to be completed before closing can occur. He 4 indicated this recreational site is an added bonus to the Hennepin County Park District. 5 He noted the added open space will be a treasure for all. 6 Councilmember Thuesen asked for a time line for this site to be at Met Council for 7 funding. Mr. Brauchle stated he is prepared to go forward with funding and will be 8 seeking reimbursement from Met Council. 9 Councilmember Hodson indicated he has heard numerous questions on when the site 10 would be open for visits. Mr. Brauchle stated the vision of the Park's District is to open 11 up this open space, but indicated this is uncertain as the master plan would need to be 12 completed before work could commence. He estimated nine months before the master 13 plan would be completed. 14 Councilmember Hodson questioned if Hennepin County has any other parks with joint 15 county residences, as this park will be, between Ramsey and Hennepin County. Mr. 16 Brauchle reviewed the numerous parks that are owned jointly between Henn_ epin County ® 17 with Anoka, Carver, Ramsey, and Scott counties. 18 Councilmember Horst asked if there was any involvement with Ramsey County to date 19 and asked if the park would be on a no-fee basis. Ms. Franzese stated she has had no 20 dealings with Ramsey County to date. Mr. Brauchle indicated there would be no fees to 21 enter the park by bike or walking and noted the park would only be open from dawn until 22 dusk. He stated the only fee charged to park patrons would be a modest parking fee to 23 raise revenues to support park maintenance. 24 Mayor Cavanaugh noted he had no objection to the parking fee and stated he did not 25 want to get involved with setting fees with Ramsey County or Hennepin County. He 26 thanked the Salvation Army for their many years of being a good neighbor and stated he 27 was looking forward to many years of open space enjoyment at the new park. 28 Councilmember Thuesen thanked Douglas Bryant for his work on the acquisition of this 29 property. _ 30 Motion by Hodson to approve Resolution 01-071 granting the City of St. Anthony's 31 consent for the Suburban Hennepin County Regional Park District's acquisition of the 32 Salvation Army Camp Property as presented. 33 Motion carried unanimously • 34 C. Consider Bid Award for Central Park Project 35 City Manager Mornson indicated Bob Kost and Carol Jindra were present to review this City Council Study Session Minutes 17 • August 14, 2001 Page 3 1 item with the Council. Bob Kost, URS Corporation, indicated there was a bid opening 2 for Central Park on August 7, 2001 for a second time, after revisions were made to the 3 first bid. Mr. Kost noted the estimates were around $1,600,000 with Veit& Company. 4 coming in as the low bidder. 5 Mr. Kost indicated along with the park redevelopment, the City Hall would be receiving 6 an irrigation system at a fee of$28,100. He noted it is the Park Commission's 7 recommendation to approve the bid to Veit& Company. 8 Councilmember Horst stated $1,600,000 was originally budgeted for the park 9 redevelopment and asked if the $625,000 tax abatement would still be available. He 10 indicated his understanding was that this would be approximately half of the original 11 estimate. City Manager Mornson noted this was news to him as the City has an 12 agreement with the school district for these funds. He indicated he was under the 13 impression the school district would be providing these funds and noted he would need to 14 check with the school district on this item in conjunction with Springsted. 15 Councilmember Horst asked how the abatement funds worked. Mayor Cavanaugh stated 16 the school is on the hook for these funds as it is not TIF funding. • 17 Councilmember Horst stated it was his understanding the $250,000 general fund reserves 18 were meant to be used as rainy day funds. He indicated additional funding from the 19 County was being lost and stated using these funds may not be the wisest decision at this 20 time. 21 Councilmember Sparks asked if there were contingent funds within the budget for rainy 22 day issues. Mayor Cavanaugh indicated the budget has approximately $900,000 in its 23 budget for overages within the budget. 24 Councilmember Horst indicated everything was being taken out of the water filtration 25 fund and stated this was a high price for the City to pay. City Manager Mornson stated 26 this was not a correct statement, as the original principle would not be touched and that 27 only interest would be taken from this.fund to be used for the park improvements. 28 Councilmember Horst asked if there were other sources of money available for Central 29 Park. City Manager Mornson stated $1.2 million was put into the City Hall and $500,000 30 into the Silver Lake bridge project just recently, which makes additional funding sources 31 unavailable at this time. 32 Councilmember Horst stated, it was his opinion, if the Council moves forward with this 33 item the City would be spending down its reserves without any way of replenishing them. 34 City Manager Mornson indicated the City has taken on numerous projects in the past • 35 several years and stated future projects will be able to be taken on as funding allows. He 36 explained the City could always assume debt if additional funding was needed. 1� City Council Study Session Minutes • August 14, 2001 Page 4 1 Councilmember Horst noted he was not in favor of spending all of the City's reserve 2 funding on this one project as the City may need these funds in the near future. He 3 indicated the project should be pared down and still allow for a nice facility. 4 Councilmember Thuesen thanked Councilmember Horst for his comments, but stated 5 numerous compromises have been made on this site and stated he was pleased with the 6 results at this time. 7 Motion by Sparks to approve Resolution 01-071 awarding the bid for the redevelopment 8 of Central Park to Veit& Company in the amount of$1,689,862 as presented. 9 4-1 (Horst opposed) Motion carried 10 VI. REVIEW ITEMS 11 A. Review 2002 Budget and Tax Lew. 12 Mayor Cavanaugh introduced the 2002 Budget and Tax Levy. He handed out a copy of 13 the new state legislature policies. Mayor Cavanaugh reviewed the items that would 14 affect the City and local school districts. He indicated he is not aware of the affects it 15 will have on the school district as each City is unique. • 16 Mayor Cavanaugh explained the real significance for the City of St. Anthony will be in 17 property tax relief, for all homes valued over$76,000. He noted this would continue 18 through 2004, which would affect the budgeting of the Council over the next several 19 years. 20 Mayor Cavanaugh indicated the legislature would phase out valuation so that in six years 21 all property owners would be paying the fair market price of their home. He noted the 22 legislature is eliminating HACA Funding in the amount of$350,000 which is a major 23 state aid cut for the City. 24 Mayor Cavanaugh noted levy limits have been placed on City governments to control 25 how much each City can spend. He indicated with less revenues coming in, this would 26 be difficult for each municipality. Mayor Cavanaugh noted there would be no truth in 27 taxation meetings this year either because of the late legislative sessions. 28 Mayor Cavanaugh indicated TIF funding has been greatly decreased which creates great 29 problems for future redevelopment of Apache Plaza. He stated the Council now has 30 severe restrictions on expenditures with the $350,000 cut from City revenues, which was 31 roughly 10% of total revenues. Mayor Cavanaugh stated he feels this is going to be a 32 trend over the next several years. • 33 Mayor Cavanaugh asked staff to review the budget and noted Council would not be 34 voting on this item until the next meeting. City Manager Mornson noted all department 35 heads were in attendance for questions. He explained there was still a large amount of 19 City Council Study Session Minutes August 14, 2001 • Page 5 1 uncertainty within the budget, as revenue amounts are still coming in from the 2 Department of Revenue. 3 City Manager Mornson indicated the budget was incrementally increase for all services 4 offered in 2001 with no new services being proposed for 2002, as the property tax reform 5 would not allow for this. He noted staff recommends a budget in the amount of 6 $3,626,500 just $106,625 over the 2001 budget. 7 City Manager Mornson indicated no additional staff would be added at this time and he 8 reviewed all other items that would be eliminated or reduced over 2002. He noted he is 9 proposing a 3% increase in staff's income for 2002. 10 City Manager Mornson noted the City is limited to 10% of a tax levy per year at this 11 time. He stated that because HACA has been taken away from the cities a one time 12 increased tax levy is being allowed by the State. City Manager Mornson explained 13 property owners are to see a decrease in property taxes over 2002 but noted after 2002, 14 there is a greater level of uncertainty. 15 Councilmember Sparks asked why there was such uncertainty in 2003. City Manager 16 Mornson noted it was his understanding that the State would not be paying local portions • 17 of referendums so residents of the community would be responsible for 100%of 18 referendums. He indicated this would greatly affect local property taxes. 19 City Manager Mornson indicated he feels numerous cities are going to gain negative 20 press for the increase in the tax levy even though revenues have been decreased. He 21 reviewed the fire, police, utility, park and city hall budgets for 2002. City Manager 22 Mornson reviewed several options for the Council to use current cash available to pay for 23 capital projects in 2002. He indicated this decision does not have to made at this time, 24 but noted this money could be made available for future projects. 25 City Manager Mornson stated the future of the Stonehouse would need to be made. He 26 reviewed a letter from the Finance Director with regard to Truth in Taxation hearings. 27 City Manager Mornson stated it was the wishes of the Mayor to hold some form of a 28 public hearing for the public to review the budget and make comments. 29 City Manager Mornson noted August 28`h_Would be the next budget meeting. He then 30 reviewed the goals of the City staff for 2001 and noted they were on track. City Manager 31 Mornson reviewed the General Fund Budget amount for 2002 being $3,626,500 a 3.03% 32 increase over 2001, with the Tax Levy of$2,202,354, a 24.89% increase. 33 City Manager Mornson reviewed the decreases in intergovernmental revenues and noted 34 how expenditures were panning out for 2002. He stated roughly 61% of the General • 35 Fund revenues were from the tax levy with police taking roughly 29.4% of the 36 expenditures. City Manager Mornson compared the revenues from 2001 with regard to 37 funds available for 2002. He indicated the expenditures between the two years were 20 City Council Study Session Minutes • August 14, 2001 _ - Page 6 1 relatively the same. City Manager Mornson broke down the levy limit calculations for 2 2002. He noted there was a$438,879 increase over last year. 3 Councilmember Hodson thanked staff for their work on this year's budget and noted the 4 difficulty staff had with meeting new State requirements. He cautioned the City from 5 cutting any current services as residents have come to expect a high level of service from 6 the police, fire, etc. 7 Councilmember Horst noted he was pleased with staffs ability to balance this budget 8 with all the changes mandated by the State. He indicated all services key to operate the 9 City were being maintained at the same level and explained he would be against limiting 10 any of these services. 11 Councilmember Sparks questioned if public works was adequately funded. She stated 12 the City's ability to manage the turf and holding ponds within the City could be a concern 13 with the proposed redevelopment of Central Park on a limited 2002 budget. 14 Councilmember Sparks reviewed several pictures of holding ponds throughout the City 15 that are unsightly. She questioned if the 2002 budget addressed the increase in public 16 works services that would be needed for Central Park. City Manager Mornson stated an 17 irrigation system would be installed at Central Park to assist in the maintenance of the 18 green space. He noted the holding ponds are a work in progress and noted seven or eight 19 holding ponds have been addedg to the City within the last few years which has increased 20 the public works responsibilities. 21 Councilmember Sparks reviewed the items kept out of the budget for 2002 and asked 22 why $80,000 was cut from the public works department. City Manager Mornson noted 23 each department was asked to make cuts and this was their determination. 24 Councilmember Hodson stated Central Park will be under construction next year which 25 will allow for the public works department to focus on blighted sites within the City 26 before taking on the maintenance of Central Park in early 2003. 27 Councilmember Thuesen stated all yards throughout the City are dry this year with weeds 28 flourishing. He indicated with an irrigation system at Central Park he feels blighted 29 parcels will be a non-issue. Councilmember Thuesen stated this may not be a funding 30 issue, but rather a method or policy on maintenance that the public works could review. 31 Mayor Cavanaugh noted he felt this budget should have been dead on arrival and noted 32 he does not take lightly to cutting reserve funding. He indicated the budget is not 33 balanced at this time and is up roughly 7%, with the use of reserve funds to cover 34 increased expenditures. Mayor Cavanaugh stated he felt the increase in the budget • 35 should be 0%. He stated the 25% tax levy increase does not meet his approval and noted 36 he would not be in favor of approving the budget as submitted. City Council Study Session Minutes 21 August 14, 2001 • Page 7 .1 Councilmember Thuesen stated the City would be playing the shell game with the State 2 as funding has been taken from the City and given to the State.. He noted all programs .3 need to continue as is and noted the budget was only increasing 3% overall. 4 Mayor Cavanaugh stated the residents would be affected the most by this levy to 5 maintain the same level of services. He indicated the fire department budget has not been 6 fully addressed with this budget with new State requirements. He explained the model 7 has been broken because the typical sources of revenues have been altered and are now 8 expected to be collected from the residents. Mayor Cavanaugh indicated he felt there 9 should be no more than a 10% levy and noted he feels the Council may have to review 10 how they provide services. 11 Mayor Cavanaugh indicated the City would not thrive in the future with no surplus 12 funding left after the years' end. He explained the City would not be able to build 13 reserves if this is the case. Mayor Cavanaugh advised staff to revise this budget and 14 report back to the Council. 15 Councilmember Hodson noted he disagreed with the Mayor's comments and noted each 16 City is having difficulty with the regulations this year and stated he does not want to see 17 services cut from the budget. He indicated he understood that services would not be 18 added, but stated in the future other funding sources could be sought to build reserves and 19 to increase services provided to the residents. 20 Mayor Cavanaugh questioned why the $112,000 in budget reserves was being used at an 21 administrative level. He indicated he felt the use of these funds was not allowable as 22 future needs may require these funds. City Manager Morrison stated this fund was 23 created from surpluses in administrative funding. He indicated these funds are being used 24 to assist in expenditures and noted the tax levy at 25% would be a one time high to help 25 the City adjust for the loss of HACA and LGA State Aid Funding. 26 Councilmember Thuesen stated he feels this budget was reasonable and stated he felt the 27 services provided would be similar to 2001 with only a minor incremental increase. 28 Mayor Cavanaugh stated he felt the increase was outrageous and he noted he would not 29 support it at this time. He explained he felt the Council could do better for the residents. 30 Mayor Cavanaugh noted the City has residents on fixed incomes that would not be able 31 to handle the sizeable increase. He indicated he felt the staffing of the City needs to be 32 addressed. 33 Councilmember Thuesen stated he feels staff is providing high quality services to the 34 residents at this time and noted a cut in their fees would not increase their level of 35 service. He indicated he did not like the Mayor questioning staff s level of efficiency for • 36 the funding they are provided. 37 Councilmember Sparks questioned if the $112,000 budget reserves could not be used for City Council Study Session Minutes 22 • August 14, 2001 Page 8 1 2002. City Manager Mornson stated he feels it is in the best interest of the City's to use 2 these funds to prevent cuts in other areas such as personnel. He indicated if the Council 3 is against using these funds, they could advise staff to redraft the budget and report back. 4 Mayor Cavanaugh stated he would be in favor of not using the $112,000 along with 5 providing additional cuts in the budget to reduce the tax levy. 6 Councilmember Thuesen and Councilmember Hodson stated they would not be in favor 7 of this suggestion as they would like to see the same level of services maintained for the 8 residents. 9 Councilmember Sparks noted the residents would not be able to truly see the changes in 10 the budget until next year, which makes this budgeting cycle very difficult. She 11 indicated she would be willing to pass this budget as is to maintain the same level of 12 services, but noted she was leery of the residents' response. 13 Mayor Cavanaugh noted a change in residential tax rates from 30% to 38% should make 14 the residents stand up and take notice. He indicated he wants to see the budget revised 15 but noted there was not support from the Council at this time. • 16 VII. INFORMATION AND ANNOUNCEMENTS. 17 City Manager Mornson noted the Minneapolis Fire Department has submitted a proposal 18 to provide services to the City of St. Anthony as early as January 1, 2002. He noted the 19 fire union opposes this change, but asked that the Council allow the Minneapolis Fire 20 Department to present their proposal at the Council's next meeting. 21 City Manager Mornson recommended a firm provide the City with an independent 22 summary of the services that could be provided by the City of Minneapolis versus the 23 current services. He explained this would allow the Council to compare the two in an 24 unbiased manner. City Manager Mornson indicated this item was not solicited but 25 brought to the City from the Minneapolis Fire Department. 26 Mayor Cavanaugh asked for the wishes of the Council. 27 Councilmember Horst noted he does not want to hear from the Minneapolis Fire 28 Department. He stated the residents are willing to pay extra for quality services and 29 indicated he would not be in favor of switching from the current arrangement. 30 Councilmember Sparks asked for the wishes of staff. City Manager Mornson stated this 31 item could be heard without an independent survey completed. Councilmember Hodson 32 and Councilmember Thuesen concurred with this suggestion. is 33 The Council agreed to hear the proposal knowing full well this was not the wishes of the 34 Council at this time. City Council Study Session Minutes August 14, 2001 Page 9 1 Councilmember Horst indicated he does not feel reviewing this proposal would benefit 2 the livelihood of the service providers within the City. He explained he felt the Council 3 should not get involved in this because it would have a negative effect on the people who 4 have jobs provided by the fire department within the City. 5 Councilmember Thuesen asked that staff provide the Council with rough numbers on the 6 tax savings from the State next year with the proposed City increases. City Manager 7 Morrison noted he could provide the Council with some preliminary numbers. 8 City Manager Mornson indicated there would be a joint meeting with the Council and 9 School Board to discuss building needs on Monday, October 29, 2001 at 7:00 p.m. He 10 noted funding needs would also be discussed. 11 City Manager Mornson noted a community survey was discussed at a goals session 12 between staff. He indicated the last City survey was done in 1998 and noted there would 13 be funding available in the cable fund to cover the expense. He asked that the Council 14 review the previous survey and come up with questions that should be addressed. 15 The Council advised staff to move forward with the survey and place this item on the 16 next meetings agenda. 17 XIII.

ANTHONY RESOLUTIONOI-076 A RESOLUTION APPROVING A SIDE YARD VARIANCE FOR 2835 ROOSEVELT STREET WHEREAS, Maynard and Elizabeth Shaw have requested a side yard variance of 11 feet for construction of a detached two-car garage on their property at 2835 Roosevelt Street; and WHEREAS, The St. Anthony Planning Considered said request at their August 21, 2001 meeting; and WHEREAS, the Planning Commission unanimously recommended the St. Anthony City Council approve said request for the following reasons: 1. undue hardship is created due to.the three sides of the property being bordered by streets; 2. street parking is very restrictive; 3. petitioners have indicated their request will not alter the architectural essence of the neighborhood. NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED,that the City Council of the City of St. Anthony hereby approves an 11 foot side yard variance for 2835 Roosevelt Street for construction of a detached two- car garage. Adopted this day of 2001. Mayor ATTEST: City Clerk Reviewed for Administration: City Manager 3® MEMORANDUM . DATE: 8/13/01 MEETING DATE: 08/21/01 - TO: Planning Commission Members FROM: Susan Henry, Assistant City Manager RE: Request for Side Yard Variance: Maynard and Elizabeth Shaw,. 2835 Roosevelt Road Maynard and Elizabeth Shaw, 2835 Roosevelt Road, are requesting a side yard variance of 11 feet. The applicant wants to build a detached tvw-car garage measuring 22' X 24" to the east of their existing garage. According to City ordinance, "any side yard adjacent to a street must be at least 30 feet in width." The proposed plans submitted to the City by the Shaw's show a 19 feet side yard setback, which is 11 feet short of the ordinance requirement, and just 4 feet off of the property line. Maynard Shaw did mention he could possibly shave another 2 feet off the width of the garage for a width of 20 feet, making the side yard-setback 21 feet, and a variance request of 9 feet. Of course he is interested in making this garage as large as possible. Another option is to narrow the width a little between.the existing garage and the proposed garage. The Shaw attached letter includes the reasons why they believe there is hardship for their case. Much of their reasoning has to do with moving cars around with multiple cars at the propertyand . not being able to use the street for parking due to city restrictions. Also, the Shaw letter points out the lack of storage space for home maintenance equipment, like the lawn mower. For the record, City staff did not give the Shaves the impression that only 15 feet was necessary for the side yard setback from the street, as was stated in their letter. They were told they were short what was stipulated in the City ordinance, which is why they are in front of the Planning Commission this evening asking for a variance. Staff Recommendation: The City has received a completed variance application and associated materials. Staff has no recommendation.

Signature f A licant 0724OiA r * 60 . 000 32 July 20, 2001 City of St. Anthony Village 3300 Silver Lake Road St. Anthony, MN 55418 Re: Petition for Variance 2835 Roosevelt St. N.E. St. Anthony, MN 55418 To Whom It May Concern: This letter is to petition for a variance at the above property address so that we may build a detached two car garage. My family has been St. Anthony residents for twelve years, living at this same address. Our home was built in 1953 and has had no structural changes since that time. The original-single car attached garage has never been sufficient for our family (nor the previous.owner), but due to other r family needs (children in college, etc.),-we put off the expense of building a garage until now. At long last, we are finally in a position to afford this addition only to find out that the 50 feet of property on the south end of our lot is not enough, according to an ordinance on the books that even the City Inspector was unfamiliar with. This ordinance states that we need to build 30 feet off of Murray versus the 15 feet we anticipated and the 19 feet we allowed in our building plans. Everyone we spoke with at the City of St. Anthony Village office about getting the building permit was under this same impression, that only 15 feet off the street was required. Like most families, we have more than one car. We currently have three licensed drivers living in our home and have had up to five when all our children were still living at home. For years our family has had to deal with the hardship of daily moving cars, because of different schedules. Our current schedules vary from 5:00 a.m. to 7:30 a.m. in the morning. Each evening we have to repeat the process of moving cars back into place. In the winter we have to allow even more time in our morning routine to remove snow and ice. All in all, it is much more difficult than it should be on any of us. Over the years, this has been more than an inconvenience, especially when either of us has had major surgery and were incapacitated, which has happened to both of us more than once. If we have guests or out of town visitors staying with us that have driven, our situation is compounded. We do not leave our cars parked in the street and have even had to park one car on part of our lawn. The previous owners did the same, they even placed gravel next to the existing driveway which we removed because it looked so bad. 33 City of St. Anthony Village June 20, 2001 Page 2. We.have restricted street parking on Roosevelt from November until March each year, which prohibits us from using street parking as an alternative. In addition, due to our close proximity to St. Charles Church, we are not allowed to park in front of our own home on Sundays year round. So we have several limitations that other City residents are not hindered by. Not having adequate space to store our cars has also diminished their value quicker due to the harsh weather conditions we experience in Minnesota. The weather extremes have taken their toll on the paint finish on our cars not to mention the problems starting them on really cold mornings. Also, if one car doesn't start, it can produce a chain reaction of transportation issues for everyone, which has happened more than once. In addition to not having enough room to store our cars, we have very inadequate storage for other home maintenance equipment (lawn mower, snow blower, gardening tools) and patio furniture. We have had to replace some items long before we should have due to this situation. One final note, when we purchased the home the existing garage floor was badly cracked and pitched, but hidden by the owner's belongings and it was never disclosed to us. They also had temporary wooden steps leading into the house. If we can build the proposed detached garage, we no longer have to worry about tripping and falling on the existing garage floor. We would put a raised wooden floor over it and use the old garage for storage. We live on a unique city block that has no alley or other access. We have what we feel is more than adequate space to place this structure on our lot without detracting from the existing home, rather enhancing it with a garage built to resemble the original structure and compliment it. As we prepare our home for our retirement years, since we plan to stay in this house, we really feel that this is an absolute necessity. We have the support of all our neighbors, who by the way all have two car garages. Please give us your approval so that we can have the same rights and privileges that our neighbors enjoy. We appreciate your consideration in this matter. If you require additional information to support this request, please feel free to contact us at 612.788.7809 or 612.303.6320 during the day.

The Minneapolis Fire Chief presented this proposal to me and Chief Hewitt on Wednesday, August V The Chief of Minneapolis indicated that they are faced with budget cuts as are other communities throughout the State and it was felt that having the Minneapolis Fire Department provide service to St. Anthony could be of benefit to both communities. Minneapolis would provide the service out of Station 15, which is approximately 1'/2 minutes from St. Anthony's City limits. They have been talking about closing Station 15 due to the low number of calls. They would have had to have another station service that area. In the proposal, the Minneapolis Fire Chief indicated that the cost to the City would be $400,000 annually for three years and could possibly add another two years for a total of five years at$400,000 per year. For future years, increases would be based on salary and benefit adjustments from the union contracts. St. Anthony's fire budget for 2001 is $527,975 and for 2002 is $555,900. Chief Hewitt is also present tonight to answer any questions Councilmembers may have. 41 INTEROFFICE MEMORANDUM TO: MAYOR,CITY COUNCIL AND CITY MANAGER FROM: JOEL A.HEWITT FIRE CHIEF SUBJECT: MINNEAPOLIS PROPOSAL DATE: 8/14/2001 CC: As you are aware the City of Minneapolis has extended an offer to our city to provide fire,rescue and EMS services.As you consider this proposal I would request of you to consider the text of my random thoughts contained within this memorandum. As a steward of the public's trust and in that the responsibility of ensuring fire and EMS services, including being prudent with their funds. I have tenured their proposal to you for consideration, fulfilling my obligations of my office to you the Council.This however has been done with mixed emotions due to the pending results of what this means for the citizens,the Council, the City Manager,the firefighters,the firefighter's families,the retired firefighter's, the fire chief and the community as a whole, the City of St.Anthony. In reviewing the proposal,the decision if based on just dollars and sense would be relatively easy, the Minneapolis Fire Department and their leadership is a highly respected leader in our service and would provide a good service to our community,reducing expenditures of operating own fire department operation.However I believe the decision is much more complex and compassionate than just counting dollars and cents. These are my thoughts that I ask you to bear in mind when you consider this decision.The decision I believe is again not one just to be based on dollars and cents,behind these dollars and cents are people not only the people who are our customers'who call on us on the worst day of their lives,it is the people past and present who have been or currently are our firefighters who serve our citizenry, in addition to the families who support us,who are left behind at home. The providing of Fire Protection services are one of a communities fundamental duties to it people, however over the years a Fire Departments will tend to become one of the pillars of a community,as they are made up of the community,a pillar which is I believe is of the St.Anthony Fire Department. The individuals who have had and do currently make up your department have dedicated themselves, their families and their lifestyles to the calling of a St.Anthony firefighter.Their calling is the difference between our department and the Minneapolis department due to the fact,when we answer the call for many of us it is to our community our home,this is what I meant when I discussed foundational community pillars.This calling is the duty we answer on a moments notice when we go out into the community to save our citizens and their property from the ravages of fire or we answer the call to fight for their life when they suffer a medical emergency or when we teach them to save themselves from heart attack or life s medical emergencies through the education of CPR and first aid or we teach them to save themselves when faced with a fire in their home,we are also there to assist them when the city floods by keeping them from harms way when the streets flood or assist 42 them to ensure their sump pumps keep the water back or move their personal property from becoming ruined if the floods take over their home.It is the calling when we assist them when they are lost and need to find their way or need a blood pressure taken,it is the the calling when we assist Santa Claus through town or welcome the high school band back home at four in the morning,we are the community. I request of you to keep this calling of our individual firefighters in the forefront of your minds and be a focal point in your thought process during your deliberations in your decision. I fully understand the fiscal challenge and the tough decisions we as leaders face during this economically challenged times,however this economic decision is again not just dollars and cents,it is about people. If we truly are in an economic crisis and the only way to community survival is to sacrifice our fire department I believe our people would embrace it. However when a park is being developed or a contingency project fund is being spared,a crisis is difficult for us to comprehend,to understand and to ultimately pay the supreme sacrifice.For when we are gone there is no turning back to the past as this supreme sacrifice cannot be repaid to our firefighters and their families past and present who will have been a past pillar of the community,The St.Anthony Fire Department. Respectfully,I thank you for your time and careful consideration of my thoughts. 2 43 Proposed Agreement Between the City of St. Anthony and the Minneapolis Fire Department The Minneapolis Fire Department was established in 1878. We are presently the largest fire department in the state with an authorized strength of 495. The Minneapolis Fire Department currently operates out of 19 fire stations with 29 rigs that are staffed with approximately 120 fire personnel each day. We average approximately 35,000 runs per year with an average response time of 3 '/ minutes. The Minneapolis Fire Department has an annual budget of approximately $38 million. We currently have mutual aid agreements with the North Suburban Mutual Aid Association and the Southwest Mutual Aid Association. It should be noted that in every survey conducted of City of Minneapolis Departments, the Fire Department as stood out as the best department in the City with a 90-95%approval rating. We are clearly one of the most progressive fire departments in the state of Minnesota, and considered one of the best in the nation with our resources, training, aggressive firefighting tactics. The Minneapolis Fire Department has a highly qualified, diverse workforce and 100% of our firefighting personnel are certified Emergency Medical Technicians. After a report of fire in Minneapolis, on average the first rig will arrive at the scene within 3 % minutes. A full first alarm response will bring 28 fire suppression personnel to the scene; a second alarm will bring 50 fire suppression personnel to the scene. A third alarm increases the total of fire suppression personnel on the scene to 65; and the fourth alarm will result in 77 fire suppression personnel at the scene. Services the Minneapolis Fire Department could provide the City of St. Anthony include: • Fire suppression • Emergency medical service • Hazardous materials response • High angle/confined space technical rescue • Fire prevention activities that would include code inspections, plan review, and education If the Minneapolis Fire Department enters into agreement with the City of St.Anthony, St. Anthony would not be treated as a separate entity, but would be integrated into the overall 911- response area we now serve. We would respond to every call for service at any address in St. Anthony with the same resources and professionalism as any address within the Minneapolis city limits. When entering into an agreement with St. Anthony we are willing to accept, on a lateral transfer basis, all current career firefighters on the St. Anthony Fire Department(which I believe total seven at this time). We have worked with Chief Joel Hewitt for over 7-8 years and Assistant Chief Rick Pfeifer for over 20 years and are well aware of their qualifications. They would have absolutely no problem fitting into the structure of our organization. The existing St. Anthony firefighters would be guaranteed employment after passing a medicallpsychological entrance examination and would benefit by a salary structure that is higher than what they currently have. 44 Apparatus: Upon entering into this agreement, we would want to take over all St.Anthony apparatus and equipment for the life of the contract(3 years). If the contract is not renewed the apparatus and equipment would be returned to the City of St.Anthony. After studying the number of runs and geographical layout of St. Anthony, I propose a contract of$400,000 per year fora period of three years totaling$1,200,000. At the end of three years, we would re-evaluate the program and renegotiate a contract for another three years. I believe there are only two things that will increase the cost of the renegotiated contract: a) increased number of runs b) increased salaries due to new labor contracts. I do not believe that either of these items would cause more than a 4 to 5% increase in the contract, but would have to be determined when renewing the contract with St.Anthony. The rigs that will be the primary response units in St.Anthony are Engine 15 and Ladder 7. These two rigs would have conspicuous signage clearly identifying the apparatus as a joint effort response unit for Minneapolis and St.Anthony. St.Anthony would also be a part of our annual literature drop campaign, covering 50% of the City of St.Anthony in one year, and the other 50%the next year. We would also provide fire education for all high rise and senior citizen complexes. We will conduct familiarization and code compliance inspections on all commercial buildings. We believe that these fire prevention activities have reduced the number and severity of fires in Minneapolis, and will have the same benefit for the City of St.Anthony. If there are any issues or questions not covered above, please feel free to call Fire Chief Rocco Forte. He is willing to go to any type of meeting or forum to discuss this proposal. EHLERW & ASSOCIATES INC QTo: Mike Morrison, City Manager From: Jim Prosser W Subject: Stonehouse Liquor Store Analysis Date: August 22, 2001 Issue Statement: The City of St. Anthony Village currently operates both on and off sale liquor stores. The on-sale store building, Stonehouse, has recently been evaluated. The evaluation, conducted by SEH engineers, has determined that the building needs to be replaced. The City has requested an evaluation of the replacement cost and financial feasibility for replacing the Stonehouse. A major benefit derived from the Stonehouse operation has been the revenue derived from charitable gambling that occurs at the Stonehouse. The City has requested an evaluation of options to City operation of the Stonehouse that would permit continued source for charitable gambling. Background: The Stonehouse has been in operation since 1949. The 4500 s.f. facility provides a sports bar atmosphere with limited menu and occasional entertainment. A review of the past five years operation indicates that the facility iE producing marginal and diminishing profits from operations. Overall profitability is somewhat aided from rent revenue from charitable gambling and check cashing fees. Revenue from charitable gambling has been consistently strong, averaging in excess of$1 million gross sales annually. State law severely limits use of gaming profits for purposes outside of the charitable giving. Given its condition and liability issues it is likely th the building may soon be unsuitable for continued business operation. It is no longer financially prudent to invest in the building beyond minor emergency repairs. The Stonehouse site also includes the St. Anthony Village fire station and the 8,300 s.f. off-sale store, SAW The one half acre site is able to function in its current capacity only because of use of adjacent right of way for parking. Next to this site is a neighborhood shopping center and the recently purchased Custom Liquidators building. The City is evaluating the redevelopment potential for this general area. Analysis: Six basic options have been evaluated and summarized in the table below. The analysis has identified, but not fully evaluated, the policy issues of municipal operation of liquor stores. The City currently has authority to operate on and off sale liquor stores. If the city would decide to close the Stonehouse they would have the option of seeking voter approval to permit continued operation of municipal off sale and private operation of on sale liquor stores. The private on-sale stores would be subject to regulation and licensure (including appropriate fees, location and number of stores) by the City Council. If private on-sale liquor operations are permitted the Charitable gambling operations groups could seek agreements to permit charitable gambling from any new private on-sale restaurants.

The current Stonehouse on-sale restaurant is in need of replacement. No additional capital investments should be made in the existing building. 2. The Stonehouse cannot be considered to be profitable. Given its current condition it is likely to be more unprofitable in the future. 3. St. Anthony Village would be required to invest approximately $1,000,000 to $1,250,000 for a new. building to continue on-sale operations. 4. Gross annual revenues of$1.25 million to $1.5 million will be required to service the operation and debt. It is very difficult to sustain this level of sales in a highly competitive market. 5. The current site is too small to permit appropriate redevelopment for commercial uses that include both on-sale and off—sale liquor sales. 6. The primary financial function of the Stonehouse appears to be an outlet for charitable gambling. 7. Charitable gambling is projected to be at least as profitable at a new city owned or privately owned on- sale restaurant(s). Recommendations: 1. Explore redevelopment of the Stonehouse site with off-sale liquor retail store as a potential tenant. 2. Cease on-sale liquor store operations. 3. Conduct referendum to permit municipal off-sale and private on-sale operations. 4. Permit charitable gambling at restaurants serving liquor. Alternate Recommendation: 1. Consider a referendum to approve $1,000,000 to $1,250,000 to fund a new on-sale liquor store. X. GENERAL POLICY BUSINESS OF THE COUNCIL. A. Resolution 01-075 B. Resolution 01-073 C.

Mayor ATTEST: . City Clerk Reviewed by Administration: City Manager 51 - MEMORANDUM DATE: August 15, 2001 TO: Mike Mornson, City Manager FROM: Roger Larson, Finance Director ITEM: PROPOSED PROPERTY TAX LEVY At their August 14`h meeting, Council reviewed the proposed 2002 budget and tax levy. Based on those discussions, staff has prepared resolution#01-075 setting the City of St. Anthony's 2002 proposed tax levy. This year, the State Legislature made significant and sweeping changes to the property tax system. Some of the modifications included; restructuring of the class rates; eliminating HACA aid to cities; phasing out limited market value increases on property valuations; and taking over the funding for public education. The State has calculated that the changes made to the property tax system will provide property tax relief statewide of approximately$900 million. On the average, it is anticipated that most property owners should experience a 20% reduction in their overall taxes. As we discussed with Council, the sweeping changes made by the Legislature and the elimination of HACA aid, make it difficult to compare this year's levy to last years levy. A summary of last years' method and this year's calculation is as follows: 2001 2002 Property Tax Levy: $1,763,475 $2,202,354 (Levy Limit)* LGA $ 147,079 $ 141,352 HACA 349,298 $ _ 0 - $2,259,843 $2,343,706 Increase= $83,863 Percentage = 3.71% *The State has imposed levy limits for years 2002 and 2003. Included in the levy limit calculation is a provision for recovering the loss of HACA (the State anticipates cities . will levy back their loss in HACA). 52 Recommendation: Council approve resolution#01-075 which encompasses the following 2002 property tax levy: A General Fund property tax levy equal to the levy limit amount allowed by the State (available September Is). This number will be inserted in the resolution prior to the Mayor, City Clerk and City Manager signing.

The ALHOA is the minimum amount of local discretionary expenditures to assist the development or preservation of affordable and life-cycle housing. It is not a grant from the LCA. The ALHOA is derived from the formula prescribed in law including market value,tax capacity and tax rates by the county assessor. In order to continue to participate in the program,communities must expend at least 85 percent of their ALHOA obligation for that year. Communities have some flexibility in determining which local expenditures fulfill the ALHOA contribution. Examples include local dollars contributed to housing assistance,!development or rehabilitation efforts, local housing inspection and'code enforcement,or local taxes to support a local or county HRA. Incentives for your community's renewed participation include access to approximately$15 million for housing development,clean-up of polluted sites for business and housing development,and mixed-use and mixed-income development. Also,your community's ALHOA expenditure will be reported in the Council's Annual Housing Report Card required by,the LCA. Your community's intent to participate in the 2002 LCA Local Housing Incentives Program is needed by Nov. 15. To help you in verifying your community's continued participation,a model resolution is enclosed. Planning assistance for staff or information presentations for elected officials are available by contacting your sector representative(see below). Questions about the ALHOA can be referred to Guy Peterson at 651/602-1418. We look forward to continuing our mutual commitment to affordable and life-cycle housing. Thank you for your consideration.

AFFORDABLE LIFE-CYCLE HOUSING OPPORTUNITIES __.. FOR THE YEAR 2001 Simply stated, here's how we determined your community's ALHOA for 2000 that is to be expended in 2001. First, we determined the average market value of your city's houses in 1995, doubled it to arrive at a base value. We then found all of the 1995 high priced houses that were above this base amount and subtracted the base value from each of those high priced houses to arrive at an excess value number for each house. Next we added up all of those high priced house's excess values to arrive at the total base year excess number. This 1995 number doesn't change. We did the same for the current year, this time using the current market values for the houses and the current base value using the Consumer Price Index change according to the requirements of the legislation. If the current year's excess is bigger than the 1995 excess, we subtracted the 1995 excess from the current year's total excess to arrive at the Growth in Excess. We multiplied that Growth in Excess times your city's tax rate. This is the Affordable and Life Cycle Housing Opportunities Amount for this year. This means that if there is no growth in the total excess from 1995, then there is no Opportunities amount. Definitions: HOMESTEAD A homestead is defined as property regularly "homesteaded" by its owners. For farm homes, it represents the assessment of the farm house, a garage and one acre of land only. CONSUMER PRICE INDEX (CPI) The Consumer Price Index measures the inflation factor in the U.S. economy. The Department of the Interior publishes this rate monthly along with a yearly average. For this program, the yearly average CPI is used. To ensure that this base value does not lose its meaning in future years the base value is increased by the CPI each year. This increased value approximately represents the effect of inflation on the market value of houses in your city. By changing the base value every year, the houses that were not included in the first base year calculation should not be included in future years just because the market value has increased due to inflation. Refer to attached sample city printout for assistance Column A—Anytown 59 This is the name of your city Column B-2500,000 This is the 2000 value used for identifying homesteads in your city that were above this hurdle number. This hurdle number was the result of multiplying the base_value (see above for the.definition of the base value) times the CPI change from 1995 to 2000 Column C-255,736 This is the 2001 value used for identifying homesteads in your city that were above this hurdle number. It is exactly like Column B, except the CPI change is now from 1995 to 2001. Column D-200,000 This is the 1995 sum of all houses having values above the base value. It represents only those houses that were above the base value, and reflects only the amount left over after subtracting the base value from each house valuation. For example: If a high priced house had a value of $ 240,000 and the base value for the city was $ 235,000, then that high priced house had an excess of 5,000 (240,000 — 235,000 = 5,000). This original amount does not change. This original figure is used as the basis to determine if you city has had any growth in high priced homes since 1995. Column E-250,000 This is the 2000 sum of the high priced homes having values above the current hurdle rate found in Column C. Like Column D, it represents only the excess amounts not the entire home value. Column F-50,000 Quite simply. this is Column E minus Column D. If your city has added higher priced homes since 1995 you should have a balance in this column. If you city has not seen an increase in the higher priced homes since 1995 there should be no balance in this column. There is no negative balance in this column. All negative values become zero. This number is the basis for all subsequent calculations-on this form. Column G-12,500.00 This number is your increased growth in higher priced homes (Column F) multiplied by you city's local tax rate (Column K). It represents the extra property taxes received by your city on the higher priced homes identified in Column E. Column H-230,000 60 This number is the total of all homestead property tax capacity (not market value of the properties) in your city times 4%. The number is calculated and supplied by your County Auditor. Why 4%? Since all higher priced homes will have a value above $72,000, then -_.. their tax capacity would be at 2%. However, since the program doubles the market value to arrive at the base value, then the tax capacity on the homestead tax capacity should also be doubled or 4% (2%x 2 =4%). Column I-57,500.00 This number is the result of multiplying the 4% Homestead Tax Capacity (Column H) times your city's local tax rate (Column K). Column J-12,500.00 This column is the lower of Column G or Column I. Simply stated it represents the calculated extra property taxes your city receives from these higher priced houses. In some cases these extra property taxes may be the 4% Homestead Tax Capacity number (Column J) rather than the Excess Growth number (Column G). In those instances, the growth of high priced homes is faster that 4% of the net tax capacity for the city. Column K-25.000 % This is your city's local tax rate for 2001 as certified by your County Auditor. Column I,--12,500.00. This is the same as Column J. It represents the Affordable Life-Cycle Housing Opportunities Amount for 2001. Column M-125 This is the actual number of higher priced homes that had values above the 2000 hurdle rate. Column N-150 This is the actual number of higher priced homes that had values above the hurdle rate for 2001.

Funds for the demolition and clearing of said property will come from the Chandler Tax Increment Financing District. Adopted this day of . 2001. Chair Executive Director wit MEMORANDUM DATE: August 1, 2001 TO: Chair and HRA Commissioners FROM: Michael Mornson, Executive Director SUBJECT: DEMOLISHING OF CUSTOM LIQUIDATORS The City received two quotes for the removal and clearing of the Custom Liquidator buildings. • The low bid was $49,527.27 by Belair Demolition of New Brighton, Minnesota. Because it's under$50,000, we need to obtain quotes, but do not have to put plans and specifications together for a bidding process. Funds totaling $800,000 to pay for purchasing, demolition and removal come from the funds established in the Chandler TIF District, as identified in the Plan (total expenditures to date are $611,265). It should be noted that the fund balance of the District on 12/31/00 was $1,108,211. The funding for the project is intact and will not be affected by the recent Legislative changes to the class rates. If Council would like to proceed, I recommend adopting the following resolution to authorize the proposal to proceed with demolishing the building with funds coming out of the Chandler TIF District. • iD 2001 AMENDMENT TO TAX INCREMENT FINANCING PLAN FOR CHANDLER PLACE TAX INCREMENT DISTRICT (RAMSEY COUNTY NO. 58) ® HOUSING AND REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY OF ST. ANTHONY, MINNESOTA • • I. INTRODUCTION The Commissioners of the Housing and Redevelopment Authority of St. Anthony, Minnesota (the "HRA") and the City of St. Anthony, Minnesota(the"City"), have previously approved five Redevelopment-Plans designated as Kenzie Terrace Redevelopment Plan, Chandler Place Redevelopment Plan, Highway Eight Redevelopment Plan, Redevelopment Plan for Redevelopment Project No. 2 (Ramsey County) and Redevelopment Plan for Redevelopment Project No. 3 (Ramsey County), together with certain amendments thereto (as so amended, the "Redevelopment Plans"), and have approved redevelopment projects (the "Redevelopment Projects") to be undertaken-pursuant thereto, and in order to finance the public redevelopment costs to be incurred by the City and the HRA in connection with certain of the Redevelopment Plans and the Redevelopment Projects, the HRA and the City have approved tax increment financing plans-(the:"Financing Plans") which establish two tax increment financing districts designated by the HRA as follows: Kenzie Terrace Tax Increment District (Hennepin County No. 1950) and Chandler Place Tax Increment District (Ramsey County No. 58) (the "Districts"). In order to authorize the City and HRA to undertake certain activities designed to remove, prevent and reduce blight, blighting factors and the causes of blight in the City and provide facilities intended to serve all residents of the City, that the HRA on June 27, 1995 approved amendments to the Redevelopment Plans, the Redevelopment Projects and the Financing Plans designated as the "Master Modification to the Redevelopment Plans and Tax Increment Financing Plans" (the "Original Master Modification") which combined the areas subject to the Redevelopment PIans and included additional property in the area subject to the Redevelopment • Plans and authorized tax increment revenue derived from either of the Districts to be utilized in any area.subject to the Redevelopment Plans,and on November 12, 1996 approved amendments to the Original Master Modification designated as the "1996 Amendments to the Master Modification to Redevelopment Plans and Tax Increment Financing Plans" (the "1996 Amendment"), which included additional property in the area subject to the Redevelopment Plans and amended the Financing Plans to authorize additional expenditure of tax increment revenue derived from either of the Districts. The Original Master Modification, as amended by the 1996 Amendments is herein called the "Master Modification". By this 2001 Amendment to the Tax Increment Financing Plan for Chandler Place Tax Increment District (Ramsey County No. 58) (the "2001 Amendment") the Commissioners of the HRA amend the Tax Increment Financing Plan for the Chandler Place Tax Increment District (Ramsey County No. 58) (the"Chandler District") to identify property which the HRA intends to acquire with tax increment revenues derived from the Chandler District. The authorization of the expenditure of tax increment revenue from the Chandler District is subject to any limitations on such expenditures with respect to the Chandler District contained in the Minnesota Tax Increment Financing Act (Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.174 to 469.179). This 2001 Amendment does not include any additional property in the Chandler District or the area subject to the Redevelopment Plans. This 2001 Amendment is approved by the Commissioners of the HRA and the City pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 469.029, subdivision 6, and Minnesota Statutes, Section 469.175, subdivision 4. • The property which the HRA intends to acquire with tax increment revenue from the Chandler District is the Custom Liquidators property located at 2654 Kenzie Terrace in the City of St. Anthony (the "Custom Liquidators Property"). The Custom Liquidators Property is presently included in the area subject to the Redevelopment Plans pursuant to the Master Modification. II. STATEMENT OF NEED AND OBJECTIVES The acquisition of the Custom Liquidators Property will aid in the redevelopment of the Custom Liquidators Property in a manner beneficial to the residents of the City and consistent with the objectives of the HRA as stated in Redevelopment Plans and which will meet the needs specified in Redevelopment Plans. III. ADDITIONAL EXPENDITURE OF TAX INCREMENT Additional expenditures of tax increment authorized by this 2001 Amendment include costs associated with acquisition of the Custom Liquidators Property. At this time the HRA has identified the Property as property to be acquired by the HRA and amends the budget for-the Ctiaridler District to auihorize-the'expenditure of tax increment revenuefromAhe Chandler District in the amount of up to $800,000 to acquire and improve'the Custom - -, Liquidators Property. Such authorization represents a net increase of$600,000 in-authorized expenditures of tax increments from the Chandler District. ® The use of tax increment derived from the Chandler District to pay the costs of acquisition of the Custom Liquidators Property is hereby authorized. Such costs may be paid directly from tax increment derived from the Chandler District, or may be paid indirectly from tax increment derived from the Chandler District, by the payment of debt service on a loan or loans made by the City to the HRA or by the HRA to finance such cost. Any such loan made by the City or HRA will be repaid, with interest, from the tax increment derived from the Chandler District. Other than the loan or loans from the City or the HRA, it is not expected that any obligations will be issued by the City or HRA to finance such costs. IV. FISCAL AND ECONOMIC IMPLICATIONS OF ADDITIONAL EXPENDITURES It is estimated fiscal and economic implications of the additional expenditures of tax increment revenue derived from the Chandler District authorized by this 2001 Amendment will be as follows: The local governmental units other than the City which are authorized by law to levy ad valorem property taxes in the area where the Chandler District are located are Independent School District No. 282, Ramsey County, the HRA, and various metropolitan area authorities, including the Metropolitan Council, the Metropolitan Transit Commission, the • -2- . 8 • Metropolitan Airports Commission and the Metropolitan Mosquito Control District (the local = government units). After the establishment and during the continuation of the Chandler District, as a result of the Redevelopment Projects and the implementation of the Redevelopment Plans and the improvements in the Chandler District there has been an increase in the tax capacity of the taxable property in the Chandler District. If the tax increments derived from the Chandler District are not applied to pay the additional expenditures described herein, the Chandler District would terminate earlier than would otherwise be the case assuming ad valorem taxes are paid with respect to the taxable property in the Chandler District in the anticipated amounts. Upon such termination such increased tax capacity would be available for taxation by the local governmental units. However, as a result of the Master Modification and this 2001 Amendment thereto such increase in tax capacity will not be available for taxation by the local governmental units until a later date with respect to the Chandler District. V. DETERMINATIONS IN ORIGINAL FINANCING PLAN The determinations made in the Tax Increment Financing Plan for the Chandler District with respect to designation of the Chandler Place Tax Increment District as a housing district, the impact of the establishment of the Chandler District and the implementation of the Redevelopment Plans and undertaking of the Redevelopment Projects and the captured tax capacity of the Chandler District upon the redevelopment thereof are not affected by this 2001 • Amendment and such determinations remain in full force and effect following the adoption of this 2001 Amendment. VI. ADDITIONAL AMENDMENTS TO PLAN The City and the HRA reserve the right to further alter the Master Modification and to further amend or modify the Redevelopment Plans and the Tax Increment Financing Plan for the Chandler District by their joint action, subject to the provisions of state law regulating such action. VII. ORIGINAL PLAN The Redevelopment Plans and the Tax Increment Financing Plan for the Chandler District, except to the extent provisions thereof are explicitly"amended or supplemented by the Master-Modification and this 2001 Amendment thereto shall remain in and be in full force and effect. • -3- JUL-24-2001 12:23 BELAIR 651 786 0109 P, - : BELAIR DEMOLITION SHORT.FORM BID 9 TO: Saint Anthony PHONE: 612-706-1322 DATE: July 24,2001 Jay Hartman PAGE: FAX: 612-781-9323 PROJECT: 2654 Kenzie'terrace ARCH/ENG: N/A ADDENDA: None PLAN DATE,(S): N/A G/L 45U1 PLAN PAGE($): N/A 2654 Kenzie lerrace.DOC INCLUSIONS: I.

WHEREAS, levy limits have been imposed on all City Governments;and WHEREAS, the information required for the City Council to determine a definitive tax levy will be determined when the City of St. Anthony holds its public hearing;and and NOW,THEREFORE,BE IT RESOLVED that: 1) The collectible 2002 proposed property tax levy is: Property Tax Levy Limit $2,199,967 Road Improvement Levy $ 342,757 Housing&Redevelopment Authority Levy $ 55,500 Tax Abatement Levy -Central Park Bonds $ 29,642 PERA Rate Increase Levy $ 7,500 Total 2002 Proposed'Tax Levy $2,635,366 2) The 2002 General Fund Proposed Budget totals$3,626,500 Adopted this day of 2001. Mayor ATTEST: City Clerk Reviewed for Administration: City Manager l , MEMORANDUM. DATE: August 24, 2001 TO: Mike Morison, City Manager FROM: Roger Larson, Finance Director ITEM: PROPOSED PROPERTY TAX LEVY At their August 14'' meeting, Council reviewed the proposed 2002 budget and tax levy. Based on those discussions, staff has prepared resolution#01-075 setting the City of St. Anthony's 2002 proposed tax levy. This year, the State Legislature made significant and sweeping changes to the property tax system. Some of the modifications included; restructuring of the class rates; eliminating HACA aid to cities; phasing out limited market value increases on property valuations; and taking over the funding for public education. The State has calculated that the changes made to the property tax system will provide property tax relief statewide of approximately $900 million. On the average, it is anticipated that most property owners should experience a 20% reduction in their overall taxes. As we discussed with Council, the sweeping changes made by the Legislature and the elimination of HACA aid, make it difficult to compare this year's levy to last years levy. A summary of last years' method and this year's calculation is as follows: 2001 2002 Property Tax Levy: $1,763,475 $2,199,967 (Levy Limit)* LGA $ 147,079 $ 141,265 HACA 349,289 $ - 0 - $2,259,843 $2,341,232 Increase= $81,389 Percentage = 3.60% *The State has imposed levy limits for years 2002 and 2003. Included in the levy limit calculation is a provision for recovering the loss of HACA (the State anticipates cities will levy back their loss in HACA). Recommendation: Council approve resolution#01-075 which encompasses the following 2002 property tax levy: A General Fund property tax levy equal to the levy limit amount allowed by the State (available September I"). This number will be inserted in the resolution prior to the Mayor, City Clerk and City Manager signing.
