Police Department 1997 Annual Report. 2 Police Chief Engstrom introduced the newest member of the Police Force Mark Dokken. 3 Dokken received his Associates Degree at Mankato State and Skills Training at Alexandria. He 4 finished#2 in the overall testing process. Engstrom stated Dokken has been with the Police 5 Force for six weeks and they are happy to have him on board. 6 The Council welcomed Dokken to the City. Mayor Ranallo encouraged Dokken to always 7 practice caution when on duty. 8 Dokken thanked the Council and stated he looked forward to working with the City. 9 Engstrom presented the Annual Police Report statistics for the year of 1997. He referred to a 10 comparison of the 1996 and 1997 Part 1 crimes noting that these crimes are usually an overall 11 indicator of the health of the community. Over the past five years the City of St. Anthony has 12 done well in this area due to the demographics, economy and innovative policing in the 13 community. He noted burglaries decreased from 63 in 1996 to 53 in 1997 and larcenies 14 remained fairly constant with 223 in 1996 and 230 in 1997. 15 Engstrom referred to a comparison of the 1996 and 1997 Part II crimes, noting that there had been a decrease in the number of incidents in all categories. A total UOC Literal Translation of the incidents was included in Council's packet. Also included was a list of the number of other 18 calls/incidents of interest in 1997. Engstrom noted the Suspicious Person/Vehicle category and 19 stated the Police Department encourages residents to call and report anything in the community 20 which appears suspicious. 21 Engstrom noted the Calls for Service in St. Anthony had increased from 5021 in 1996 to 5102 in 22 1997 and Reports Incidents decreased from 5062 in 1996 to 5041 in 1997. Also included were 23 the number of Calls for Service and Reports Incidents for Lauderdale and Falcon Heights. 24 Engstrom reported the police reserves worked 2814 hours in 1997. Most reserve hours were 25 spent on patrol—doing house checks, business card file update,transportation details, assist to 26 St. Anthony's regular squads, police impounds, medical emergencies, and community functions 27 such as Mardi Gras at St. Charles,winter carriage rides at St. Anthony Center and Village Fest. 28 Engstrom noted a comparison of the 1996 and 1997 Patrol Statistics. Moving and Non Moving 29 Violations, as well as Total DWI's decreased from 1996 to 1997. Total arrests increased from 30 466 in 1996 to 498 in 1997. 31 Engstrom noted a memorandum from Lieutenant Ohl which listed the approximate number of 32 Misdemeanor, Gross Misdemeanor and Felony level criminal offenses cleared by Investigations �3 and patrol. It also included a breakdown by City. City Council Regular Meeting Minutes March 24, 1998 Page 4 • II 1 Engstrom noted an Elementary Dare in Review report by Officer Tim Briski. Briski teaches the 2 elementary students at Wilshire Park Elementary School and St. Charles Borromeo in St. 3 Anthony, and Falcon Heights Elementary School in Falcon Heights. He also volunteers in many 4 other events. 5 Engstrom noted a Dare Review for 1996-1997 provided by Dominic Cotroneo. Cotroneo works 6 with eighth grade students at the St. Anthony Middle School and St. Charles Borremeo. This 7 program provides continuing support to the students and helps to retain their respect throughout 8 the high school years. Cotroneo donated a lot of his time and is very involved in the Dare 9 program. 10 Ranallo asked Engstrom to explain the UOC Codes. 11 Engstrom explained that UOC stands for Uniform Offense Codes. These codes are used for 12 reporting services to the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Bureau of Criminal 13 Apprehension. 14 Engstrom reported that in comparing the statistics for the first two months of 1998 to those of 15 1997, there have been 28 more incidents reported this year. If this trend continues St. Anthony 16 will see a substantial increase for the year of_1998. • 17 Marks questioned if the 31 handgun requests were for St. Anthony residents. 18 Engstrom stated there were 31 permits to purchase a handgun issued in the City of St. Anthony 19 in 1997. 20 Cavanaugh questioned the 7 rapes which occurred in 1997. 21 Engstrom reported that most of the offenders are known to the victim. Only 1 of the 7 was a 22 stranger. 23 Cavanaugh questioned the nature of the larcenies. 24 Engstrom explained larceny includes shoplifting, stealing a car, stealing property from a garage 25 or a yard, and many more. Depending on the dollar amount it is a misdemeanor, gross 26 misdemeanor, or a felony. 27 Cavanaugh questioned if the City of Falcon Heights had purchased defibulators, if so,why they 28 were purchased and the cost. 29 Engstrom reported that the Cities of Lauderdale and Falcon Heights had each purchased one 30 defibulator. The St. Paul Fire Department recommended that Falcon Heights make the purchase. • 31 Engstrom explained the equipment is easy to use and includes step-by-step instructions. It is City Council Regular Meeting Minutes March 24, 1998 Page 5 1 useful in saving lives within the first five minutes of injury and the police are usually on the 2 scene within one to three minutes. The units cost$2,700. 3 Marks asked if all the moving violations are for speeding and if not, what percentage is for other 4 types of moving violations. He also asked how many tags are associated with drivers following 5 too close to the vehicle in front of them. 6 Engstrom stated that not all of the moving violations were for speeding but he was not aware of 7 the percentage of other types of violation. He noted that a vehicle traveling closely behind 8 another may be a good reason to stop the driver and often other violations such as driving with 9 no insurance or warrants are then discovered. 10 Marks stated he believed a substantial number of accidents are caused by cars traveling too close 11 together. 12 Thuesen noted the number of underage drinking offenses and asked.how the liquor is obtained. 13 Engstrom stated most persons caught are reluctant to say how the liquor was obtained. Some 14 purchase their own with phoney identification and for others the alcohol is provided by a brother, �5 sister or parent. 16 Thuesen noted there are probably many more occurrences of underage drinking that are not 17 caught. He stated he hoped the Dare Program would help with this. 18 Engstrom stated the Dare Program is important and does help make inroads with kids. 19 Mayor Ranallo-thanked Chief Engstrom for the report and the good work. 20 B. Councilmembers. 21 Thuesen reported his attendance at a recent Parks Advisory Task Force meeting. The meeting 22 went well and the group is focused and trying to move forward. They will be making a 23 presentation to the Council in the near future to discuss the formation of a Parks Commission. 24 Thuesen reported he is the Council representative of the Friends of the Library Group. This 25 group meets on the third Thursday of the month for 15 to 30 minutes and meetings are open to 26 people whether they are part of the organization or not. Friends of the Library supports and 27 promotes the library by holding smaller book sales in the winter months and larger book sales in 28 the summer and utilizing those funds to purchase books,magazine subscriptions, and puppets. 29 Thuesen encouraged residents to get involved with the Friends of the Library Group. �0 Faust reported that on Friday, March 20, he visited the legislature to stay abreast of what is 1 happening with the flood relief funds. He also spoke with Representative McGuire at her office. 32 She continues to pursue the effort diligently. Representative Kalus has confirmed that the letter City Council Regular Meeting Minutes March 24, 1998 Page 6 • 1 of March 19 which was sent to Conferees has been received and they are aware of the requests of 2 St. Anthony. Faust stated the City needs to keep the pressure on and that if this is done,he is 3 confident of positive results. 4 Marks reported he had also spoken with Representative McGuire and he confirmed her diligent 5 efforts. 6 Marks reported his attendance at the Parks Task Force Meeting and agreed with Thuesen that it 7 was a very positive meeting. They have put together an overall plan for Central Park which may 8 be upgraded slightly before being presented to the Council. They will also be recommending the 9 establishment of a Parks Commission to continue the enormous job of extending the park system 10 beyond Central and the other parks. He noted that the City of St. Anthony has one-half of the 11 acres of park that normally exists in a City of this size. He suggested the opportunity of building 12 a walking path system that would utilize the City's own property and other public and privately 13 owned property. He also suggested the opportunity to utilize some of the land which is acquired 14 in flood mitigation. He suggested ideas such as these should be included in the Comprehensive 15 Plan to provide the Parks Commission with direction. 16 Marks distributed a schedule of the upcoming visit from Salo, Finland. Visitors will arrive on 17 the evening of April 17. Scheduled events will include: Saturday - band rehearsal, orientation of 18 the City of St. Anthony and a tour of Minneapolis; Sunday -church service, supper in 19 community homes and band rehearsal; Monday - concert and tour of the High School, City of St. 20 Anthony tour and official welcome to the City, and dinner at the Stonehouse; Tuesday - concert 21 at the Landmark Center, reception,tour of the St. Paul Capital, and School Board meeting; 22 Wednesday - Kiwanis and two performances at Wilshire Park School; Thursday - a potluck 23 supper at City Hall and the orchestra and band will rehearse together; Friday - official City 24 greeting at City Hall with a concert and reception. The group will depart on Saturday. 25 Cavanaugh expressed appreciation for the new podium. He then reported his attendance at the 26 Safety Fair conducted by the Boy Scouts and held at the City Hall last Saturday. The event was 27 well done with a lot of enthusiasm and huge participation. 28 Cavanaugh questioned the intent of the letter of joint power agreement with Northwest Family 29 Service. 30 Morrison stated this was to be a topic at the April 7 work session. He explained that the original 31 contract with Northwest Family Services called for a$1.20 contribution per capita or$8,000- 32 $9,000 per year. St. Anthony contributed$2,500 and would effectively be in violation of the 33 contract. The contract has since been rewritten to state the population of Ramsey County rather 34 than the per capita of the City so that St. Anthony may now be in compliance and may sign the 35 contract. • 36 Cavanaugh noted that the door to the City Hall was locked during the last City Council Meeting. City Council Regular Meeting Minutes March 24, 1998 is Page 7 1 Momson reported this was done by mistake. The janitor had to leave on an emergency and it 2 was her job to secure the building upon departure so she locked the doors. This.has been brought 3 to the attention of the janitorial service and will not happen again. 4 C. Mayor. 5 1. Shriner's Request to Sell Onions as a Fund Raiser on May 2, 1998 at the 6 Stonehouse Parking Lot. 7 Motion by Cavanaugh, second by Marks to approve the Shriner's request to sell onions as a fund 8 raiser on May 2, 1998 at the Stonehouse parking lot. 9 Motion carried unanimously. 10 Mayor Ranallo reported he had received several comments in regard to the first live cable 11 broadcast of the Council meeting. There was comment that the broadcast was not obviously 12 identified. Ruth Mason does have a character generator and will meet with Mayor and City 13 Manager to determine how to correct this'situation. Also the cameras are located up high and 14 capture the tops of the Councilmembers heads rather than their faces. Also there was concern 15 that the Mayor was not recognizing Councilmembers who wanted to talk. All these issues will 16 be discussed at the April 7 work session. Cavanaugh suggested a video tape of the Council meetings be available for check-out at the 18 library. 19 20 D. City Manager. 21 Mornson reported his attendance at the State Capital on March 19 to attend an AMM Legislative 22 Update Meeting. The AMM Executive Director provided the Cities with an update on the issues 23 of metropolitan significance. He mentioned that even though the House decreased the flood 24 mitigation funding from $28 to $15 million, there is still a lot of support for the bill. Momson 25 noted the letter which was signed by all Councilmembers and was sent to the Bonding 26 Committee. There is no testimony allowed before the Conference Board and Momson stated he 27 is leaving it up to Councilmembers to use their own discretion in putting forth an effort to contact 28 the representatives. Momson stated the Hennepin County Commissioner had sent a letter to the 29 Conference Board in support of St. Anthony and he has copied this letter to the Ramsey County 30 Commissioner seeking his support in the same manner. 31 Mornson noted an article in regard to the amount of rain received last summer which appeared on 32 the front page of the Star and Tribune newspaper. He reported that he had been interviewed for 33 this article for more than 40 minutes and it appeared that the interviewer was looking for 34 negativity in the declaration of a disaster area. Momson stated there was not negativity and 35 explained FEMA and other grant information. The interviewer seemed interested but none of �6 this information was included in the article. City Council Regular Meeting Minutes March 24, 1998 Page 8 is 1 Morrison reported the City received a certified letter from FEMA informing that the City is now 2 a part of the National Flood Insurance Program. This provides the opportunity for residents and 3 business owners to purchase flood insurance. It appears from the initial letter that the City will 4 not be required to be mapped or to change any of its ordinances. 25% of the communities that 5 are part of the Flood Program are not mapped and it is then not necessary to be designated as a 6 flood zone by Federal Agencies. Morrison noted there was a press release issued last Friday to 7 all three of the local papers and an article will appear in the next City Newsletter. 8 Sue Kozarek, 4029 Shamrock Drive, thanked the City Manager-for the information. She stated 9 she had contacted the insurance company to inquire about flood insurance. The insurance 10 company stated they required the flood zone and were unable to locate St. Anthony. She 11 suggested this issue needs some further investigation. 12 Morrison reported a call received from the Chicago FEMA office in regard to the $700,000 grant 13 application for home buy-outs. St. Anthony's grant application is very competitive and someone 14 from FEMA will be meeting with Morrison and WSB on April 3, 1998,to view the homes and 15 obtain a general feel of the area. Morrison stated he believes this is a positive sign. One if not 16 both of the appraisers have begun contacting the five homeowners and a report is anticipated by 17 April 15, 1998. 18 Morrison reported he had met with the Superintendent of the schools last Friday to discuss an 19 easement or deed on the portion of Central Park required related to flood mitigation. The 20 Superintendent was receptive and upon receipt of more details another meeting will be 21 scheduled. The 33'Avenue project was discussed and the Superintendent will ask the Principal 22 to suggest students who might be interested in serving as a clerk at Council meetings. 23 Morrison reported a concept review was held at the Planning Commission meeting on March 17, 24 1998. A local industrial user is interested in relocating in the Town/Country building. This 25 would generate a rezoning request. The site would be utilized for office and research. A tour of 26 the current facility is being scheduled for Planning Commissioners and interested 27 Councilmembers. Another concept review will be held at the April Planning Commission 28 meeting. 29 Cavanaugh noted the Town/Country site is zoned retail. He stated that unless the Council would 30 consider changing the zoning, the tour is a waste of time. He asked when there would be 31 discussion on the change of the character of the shopping center and the diminished retail 32 capacity of the City. 33 Faust stated that this discussion will take place at the next Planning Commission meeting and 34 they will then make a recommendation to the City Council. 35 Morrison noted the City is currently finalizing an RFP for a planning firm for a Land Use Master 36 Plan. He stated the tour will not be a waste of time because this is a good industry located in the City Council Regular Meeting Minutes March 24, 1998 • Page 9 1 City of St. Anthony and if the Town/Country building does not work, Staff would want to 2 relocate the business to another area in St. Anthony. 3 Cavanaugh stated the reason for his suggestion of a moratorium was that the City not get into this 4 type of discussion without a plan in place. 5 Morrison reported he is in the process of finalizing an RFP for a computer consultant and will 6 provide this at the April 7 work session. 7 Morrison reported that a sub-committee of the Parks Task Force is meeting with Public Works 8 Director. They are discussing five bids received for play equipment for Community Services. It 9 is believed that the bids will come in between $20,000 425,000 and $20,000 has been budgeted 10 for this item. The agreement made by the City was to replace the equipment like-for-like. 11 Morrison stated the Chair of the sub-committee requested that he could be authorized to chose 12 the vendor so that work could be started as soon as possible. The next Council meeting is not . 13 scheduled until April 14 and installation is eight weeks off. - 14 Thuesen stated that at the last Parks Task Force meeting there had been discussion that the 15 equipment would cost$18,000420,000 and that there may be additional cost for site preparation. Marks stated he did not have a clear sense of how much more the site preparation would cost. 17 He noted volunteers and the Public Works Department will be assisting with installation of the 18 equipment to reduce the cost and that the Task Force would like to move as quickly as possible 19 or installation will occur well into the season. 20 Thuesen asked if site preparation was included in the original $20,000 estimate. 21- Mayor Ranallo stated it was but that at that time it was anticipated that some of the old 22 equipment would be utilized. 23 Morrison noted the $20,000 was meant to be seed money to mix the old equipment with the new. 24 This however, will not work because the old equipment is not up to ADA standards. 25 Mayor Ranallo suggested that the Task Force determine a cost figure for Council consideration. 26 Morrison stated the Task Force is anticipating a cost of$25,000. He noted there is $40,000 27 available in the Contingency Fund for the new building. This does not include the $50,000 for 28 the tennis courts. 29 Motion by Marks, second by Thuesen to approve the replacement of playground equipment for 0 Community Services in an amount not to exceed $25,000. 31 Motion carried unanimously. City Council Regular Meeting Minutes March 24, 1998 Page 10 • 1 2 Cavanaugh noted a letter received from Mr. Tuohy in regard to the appraiser. He questioned 3 what action should be taken. He questioned if Mr. Tuohy should be allowed to chose one of the 4 appraisers. 5 Faust stated it would be premature to answer the letter as neither party has received the results of 6 the appraisal. The City has two appraisers. If the appraisals are not to Mr. Tuohy's satisfaction, 7 he can hire his own appraiser. 8 Cavanaugh stated that in order to obtain a fair market value, one appraiser should be looking at 9 the property from the owners perspective and one from the City's perspective. 10 Faust asked if Cavanaugh believed the appraisers to be biased. 11 Cavanaugh stated that the appraisers are hired by the City. 12 Marks stated that if the property owner is not satisfied with the results of the appraisal they can 13 hire an appraisal and pay for it themselves. ,14 VIII. PUBLIC HEARINGS -None. • 15 IX. NEW BUSINESS. 16 A. Ordinance 1998-004, re: Tobacco and Tobacco Related Products(1St Reading_Z 17 Motion by Marks, second by Faust to approve the 1St reading of Ordinance 1998-004,relating to 18 tobacco, tobacco products and tobacco related devices, amending Section 510 of the 1993 St. 19 Anthony Code of Ordinances. 20 Morrison reported that by State law,the City of St. Anthony is required to provide notice to 21 vendors and establishments within the City limits that sell or distribute tobacco and tobacco 22 related products of the upcoming adoption of ordinance amendment. The City Attorney, Chief of 23 Police and the Liquors Operation Manager have reviewed the proposed ordinance. Staff has not .24 received any response to the notice. 25 Motion carried unanimously. 26 B. Ordinance 1998-06, re: Fees for Tobacco and Tobacco Related Products ( 1St Reading 1. 27 Motion by Thuesen, second by Marks to approve the 1 St reading of Ordinance 1998-006, relating 28 to fees for Tobacco and Tobacco related products; amending Section 6.15.06 of the 1993 St. 29 Anthony Code of Ordinances. 30 Motion carried unanimously. • 31 C. Resolution 98-034, re: Flood Relief Program and Provision Funding City Council Regular Meeting Minutes • March 24, 1998 Page 11 1 Motion by Marks, second by Faust to approve Resolution 98-034, adopting guidelines for a City- 2 wide flood relief program and provision for funding. 3 Norine Lockrem, 2916 Old Highway 8, questioned how the $10,000 maximum dollar figure was- 4 generated. She also asked if property owners who have suffered significant damage would be 5 able to apply for additional funding in a future year. She noted that the memorandum from WSB 6 stated that a property owner could not apply for more than $10,000. She asked the Council to 7 reconsider the dollar cap or to allow residents to reapply in future years. 8 Cavanaugh noted that on Page 2 of the WSB memorandum it states that all flood proofing 9 projects must be completed by December 31 and in the Flood Relief Program document under L. 10 it states that work must be completed within six months. He also noted the repeated use of the 11 word "reasonable" and questioned the test for reasonability and if this would be determined by 12 the City. He noted the requirements that "All flood proofing work has to be approved by the 13 City Engineer" and under M. "The property owner, Inspector, and Program Specialist shall also .. 14 sign the Completion Certificate after reviewing all work completed." He questioned if there is a 15 sense of an implied warranty that when the work is done there will be a certain protection level 16 and the home will be warranted in the future. Faust noted an inspection is performed with all building permits. 18 Cavanaugh stated that WSB is involved in the process from beginning to end and there appears 19 to be an implied warranty that the work will be done to some level of performance. 20 Faust noted that this was modeled after other Cities and they had not experienced this type of 21 problem. 22 Morrison explained that the December 31 date in the WSB letter was a tentative schedule and 23 was just a proposal. The six month requirement in the Flood Relief Program document is the 24 legal requirement. .25 Mayor Ranallo noted that A. of the document states "Any property subject to recurrent flooding". 26 He asked how this will be determined. 27 Morrison stated this will be left to the expertise of WSB based on their research. They will 28 provide a recommendation at the July 14 Council meeting. 29 Cavanaugh noted that A. of the document also states "flooding by storm sewer overflow". In the 30 large picture, the water was destined for the storm sewer but a lot of it came from the alley. Faust stated the City will only have so much money available per year and the$10,000 cap was determined to allow the biggest impact of effected residents as possible. City Council Regular Meeting Minutes March 24, 1998 Page 12 • 1 Mayor Ranallo asked if a person who had $15,000 in damages would be able to receive $10,000 2 this year and another$5,000 next year. 3 Morrison stated the residents would be able to reapply for additional funds in subsequent years. 4 Marks noted these funds were to flood proof against future loss not to compensate for past losses. 5 Mrs. Kozarek asked if there was a potential for residents to receive more than $10,000. The 6 wording of#3 in the WSB memorandum indicates that a resident would not be able to be 7 compensated beyond the maximum of$10,000. 8 Cavanaugh stated it was his understanding that if 30 residents apply in the first year and only 10 9 receive funding,the other 20 would be ahead of the first 10 for funding in the second year. 10 Ms. Kozarek explained that WSB had chosen the$10,000 maximum by taking the money 11 available and dividing it by the people who had experienced damage to their homes. They were 12 attempting to get the "biggest bang for the bucks". 13 Mornson suggested the maximum dollar amount could be left blank and the engineer could make 14 a further recommendation. • 15 Cavanaugh stated it appears that this amount was chosen to allocate a limited resource. It 16 seemed reasonable that a property owner could apply for funds a second time. 17 Thuesen agreed that the $10,000 maximum cap could be a problem to some people who had to 18 put a greater amount than $10,000 into flood protection. It is however, important at first to give 19 the most number of people help with flood proofing their property. 20 Marks noted that this is a one year continuing program which will need a resolution passed in 21 1999. He suggested that it may be appropriate to consider the issue of reapplying at that time. 22 Mornson stated this is a learning process and changes may be recommended when WSB provides 23 the City with their report on July 14, 1998. The City needs to trust their professional engineering 24 opinion. 25 Mrs. Kozarek stated her only problem was that the WSB memorandum and the Flood Relief 26 Program document are inconsistent. She asked that this be clarified. 27 Faust noted that the memorandum was for discussion purposes. The ordinance was the legal 28 document. He agreed that circumstances may change a year from now and that the City needs to 29 rely on the engineers who have expertise in this area and go through a cycle to determine what 30 will happen. • City Council Regular Meeting Minutes March 24, 1998 Page 13 1 Mornson stated the memorandum is in response to questions which were raised at the work 2 session. In that document point#3 states "as currently outlined" which allows the flexibility for 3 Council to change it. 4 Motion carried unanimously. 5 6 D. Resolution 98-035, re: Policing Services for the City of Falcon Heights and Resolution 7 98-036, re: Policing Services for City of Lauderdale. 8 Motion by Marks, second by Thuesen to approve Resolution 98-035, approving the Joint Powers 9 Agreement for Police Services with the City of Falcon Heights and authorizing the Mayor and 10 City Manager to execute said agreement. 11 Cavanaugh noted the 1997 budget for Police was over budgeted by $13,141. The City of St. 12 Anthony absorbed the costs because the contract set the budget and overages are not spread 13 among the 3 Cities. This issue should be covered in the contract somewhere. He stated that 14 otherwise the Chief did a good job. 15 Motion carried unanimously. Motion by.Faust, second by Marks to approve Resolution 98-036, approving the Joint Powers is Agreement for Police Services with the City of Lauderdale and authorizing the Mayor and City 18 Manager to execute said agreement. 19 Cavanaugh asked if the City of Lauderdale had approved the contract. 20 Mornson stated the contract will be considered by the City Council at their meeting tonight. 21 Motion carried unanimously. 22 23 E. Approve Proposal Relating to Proposed City/School District Residential Survey. 24 Motion by Faust, second by Thuesen to approve the proposal by Decision Resources, Ltd. to 25 provide a City/School District residential survey. 26 Mornson reported the School Board approved the proposal last Tuesday. The City Manager will 27 now set up a meeting with Bill Morris of Decision Resources, Ltd., the Superintendent and 28 himself. Mornson requested that the Councilmembers provide him with a list of proposed 29 questions for inclusion in the survey by April 7, 1998. The questions will be submitted to 30 Decision Resources and then back to the Council for fine tuning. The survey will be done and a 31 joint meeting will be held with the School Board to explain the results. Momson stated he has 32 relayed the frustrations of the last survey to Decision Resources and they have offered assurance 40 that these situations will not reoccur. 34 Motion carried unanimously. City Council Regular Meeting Minutes March 24, 1998 Page 14 • 1 F. Ordinance Enforcement. 2 Cavanaugh stated he had asked that this item be placed on the agenda because he has looked at 3 the City and is-not happy. There is an epidemic of signs. Relators are placing their signs in the 4 right-of-way and banding them to bus stops with plastic banding. Some have been left there for 5 weeks. 6 Cavanaugh stated the question is how the community addresses the ordinance enforcement issue. 7 He noted that a map showing property appreciation in North Minneapolis and St. Anthony 8 provided by Commissioner Stenglein shows that the trailer courts have had zero appreciation in 9 the last several years. 10 Cavanaugh stated that as you enter St. Anthony on Kenzie Terrace the first store you see has a 11 sign on the side of the building that is smashed. As you continue the first lot has an abandoned 12 car,the next a car and a truck parked on the grass and junk piled around, and the next lot,has a 13 green davenport and chair and the condition of the lot is unbelievable. Autumn Woods has a rent 14 sign hanging on the sidewalk. Northgate's refuse containers are broke down and on the second 15 floor all the windows are rotted. At the Stonehouse the garbage cans sit out and the alley has 16 containers laying all over the place. 17 Cavanaugh described that as traveling down the alley between Kenzie and the residential area • 18 there are two trailers parked on the grass, a car that has been parked in the yard for so long that 19 there is firewood stacked around it, two cars with expired tabs—one from 1991 and one 20 September 1997 and both with flat tires, and lastly a junkyard with a pile that Staff describes as a 21 breeding ground for rats. 22 Cavanaugh indicated that along 29' Avenue there is a car parked in the middle of the house on 23 the grass and the house has not been maintained. Along Silver Lake Road there are trucks with 24 expired tabs, cars parked in the mud, and houses in need of work. At Apache Plaza there are 25 beanie baby signs everywhere that look like they were drawn by a fourth grader. The property at 26 2919 Silver Lane has multiple violations including snowmobiles parked in the yard, cars parked 27 with expired tabs, the possibility of a business being run there and junk piled along the side. 28 Cavanaugh asked what it would take for the community to realize that this problem is a serious 29 one and that the City government has the principle responsibility of enforcement. The City is not 30 setting a good example by allowing the car to trespass on their own property at Kenzie Terrace. 31 He stated that steps need to be taken to bring these violations to a stop. This is very distressing. 32 Mayor Ranallo stated he agreed and he had tried to deal with this issue four years ago but at the 33 last minute had not received support from fellow Councilmembers. City Council Regular Meeting Minutes March 24, 1998 • Page 15 1 Cavanaugh questioned why retail users come in for sign ordinances and then are allowed to put 2 banners on their fences. He noted that the Freedom Store window is 100% covered when only 3 50% is allowed. 4 Mayor Ranallo stated it was a relief to some people in the City to see Larry Hamer retire because 5 now they can put a sign up anywhere. When Hamer was the Public Works Director the signs 6 were removed. Ranallo noted there is "catch up" work to do on this issue and suggested that the 7 Fire Chief may need some addition help. 8 Thuesen stated the City should aggressively approach the junk cars. There is no reason that they 9 should be allowed to sit on property with expired tabs. He also suggested the City look at what 10 help the Fire Chief needs for better enforcement. 11 Faust noted many of these violations were in existence before the Fire Chief began code 12 enforcement. He noted that the prosecuting attorney has a difficult time prosecuting these 13 violations. Faust stated he believed that if this list was given to the Fire Chief, most of these 14 violations would be resolved within a minimal amount of time. The Council has to decide as a 15 body how aggressive the code enforcement should be and then provide that direction to the code 16 enforcer. They then have to be willing to take the legal risks of that decision. isMayor Ranallo suggested that a special work session be held with the prosecuting attorneys and 18 the Chiefs of Police and Fire to discuss this issue. 19 Faust noted that the new code enforcer is attempting to correct the violations through education. 20 He suggested that the eyesores and the issues that are City-related could be taken care of and the 21 Council could then address the more difficult problems of the cars in the backyards, etc. 22 Mayor Ranallo suggested it would be beneficial for someone to take a camera and photograph all 23 the violations in the City. This could then be utilized at the work session. 24 Cavanaugh stated he would do this. He expressed appreciation for the Council's time and stated 25 the work session would be a good place for discussion. He believed that people who are 26 concerned with their property values will support this issue. He also noted that White Bear Lake 27 and Minnetonka are utilizing an administrative citation and that this might be worth 28 investigating. 29 Tom Nelson, 2840 Silver Lake Road, stated that while the Council was discussing the fire truck 30 issue at their last meeting, he had come to City Hall to address the Council and had found the 31 lights out and the door locked. Mayor Ranallo stated this is the second time this has happened in 20 years. The City Manager has spoken with the janitor and she had an emergency and had to leave the building. It is her job 34 to secure the building and she did this when she left. City Council Regular Meeting Minutes March 24, 1998 Page 16 • 1 Mr. Nelson stated he felt$250,000 is a lot of money to spend on a fire truck. He would like the 2 Council to look at the issue in the manner which Cavanaugh tried to convey. He stated it did not 3 . make sense to drive a$250,000 fire truck up and down Silver Lake Road.when a smaller, lighter, 4 faster, quieter vehicle could do the job. This would also extend the lives of the fire trucks the 5 City owns. Mr. Nelson questioned the emergency response equipment. 6 Chief Engstrom reported St. Anthony utilizes Hennepin County Medical Center for their 7 Advanced Life Support. A trained EMT can do more than a police officer can. The Police 8 Department provided Basic Life Support and the Fire Department has two paid paramedics. 9 Mayor Ranallo stated he used to have the same view as Mr. Nelson but then he started studying 10 the activities of St. Anthony's and other City's Fire Department. There are many instances 11 where more than one big truck is required. It would be difficult for him to say that he would 12 support a smaller vehicle. 13 Mornson reported that of the 6% of calls related to fire, 90% of those fires are extinguished by 14 the two people who respond to medicals. 15 Mr. Nelson asked what percentage of the 500-600 calls that the Fire Department made last year 16 went to Chandler Place. • 17 Mayor Ranallo stated the Fire Chief would present his annual report at the April 28 Council 18 meeting. 19 Mr. Nelson asked if.a high percentage of calls go to support businesses that have the capability to 20 handle many crises situations themselves. He questioned if taxpayers dollars should be spent to 21 respond to these calls. 22 Mayor Ranallo noted that these residents are also taxpayers of the City of St. Anthony. 23 Mr. Nelson stated he felt it was important to make his thoughts clear on fire equipment. He 24 stated he lives on Silver Lake Road and noted that many police cars go through the intersection 25 at the bottom of the hill at 60-70 miles per hour with their sirens off. He asked if it was 26 necessary to travel at that speed. 27 Engstrom stated he had no evidence that the Police Officers were traveling through that 28 intersection at that rate of speed. This would have to be radared or clocked to verify. He stated 29 that Police Officers have the same responsibilities as everyone else unless they are responding to 30 an emergency. On an emergency call their primary responsibility is to get from point a to point b 31 in the safest manner possible. He stated that without hard evidence he could not accept this 32 report. • 33 Mayor Ranallo asked if the officers were driving that fast with the red lights and siren on. City Council Regular Meeting Minutes March 24, 1998 • Page 17 1 Mr. Nelson stated there have been times when the squads have been traveling with the red lights 2 only but this rarely occurs before 11:00 P.M. or 12:00 A.M. Before 11:00 P.M. they always use 3 the siren. Turning off the sirens is'greatly appreciated by the residents along Silver Lake Road 4 but they also do not want to see the officers jeopardize their safety. 5 Marks stated he also lives on Silver Lake Road. He noted there have been several extensive 6 conversations in regard to fire trucks and they always peak when a new fire truck is being 7 purchased. The issue of the limited number of professional fire fighters is also part of that 8 discussion. With the combination of these two issues the only conclusion has always been that it 9 is better to purchase a new truck. 10 X. UNFINISHED BUSINESS. 11 A. Discussion of Award for Student Regarding the e City Flag 12 Marks stated he had a hard time finding any of the drawings satisfactory for a City flag. He 13 suggested that the award be given for the best design and that the process to design a City flag be 14 continued. 15 There was Council consensus to award $25 for the best design of the City flag to Dave Schlief. There was Council direction to Staff to research flag design companies. 17 B. Discussion of Volunteer Dinner. 18 Cavanaugh stated the first objective was to approve the proposed list of invitees. 19 Faust stated he saw this as a deviation and total change of the way the volunteer appreciation 20 dinner has been done in the past. He questioned the appropriateness of inviting groups that the 21 ' City has no input as to the outcome or the report of what the organization does. He felt this 22 should be a dinner for the people that volunteer at the City's request. 23 Marks stated that he had taken the view that the volunteer dinner should cover the whole range of 24 volunteer activities oriented toward the community. 25 Mayor Ranallo stated that thanking the volunteers is very important because without the 26 volunteers the City would not exist. After the last couple of dinners, however, the volunteers 27 themselves have asked if this was a wise way to spend taxpayer dollars. Those dinners only cost 28 $1,000. The proposal tonight will cost$3,500. He noted that there are many volunteers who are 29 not included on the list including people who work in the daycare and the school. 30 Cavanaugh reviewed the list of invitees from 1997 and noted who had actually attended. He 31 noted there were many people on the list who were paid by the City for their services. Cavanaugh reported that the City of New Brighton holds a picnic in honor of it's volunteers, includes the families and gives a token gift. City Council Regular Meeting Minutes March 24, 1998 Page 18 1 Cavanaugh suggested it was time for a fundamental change to recognize in the larger community 2 the people who volunteer. It was time to embrace the volunteers of the community and bring 3 them together in one place to see each other and appreciate the depth of involvement. 4 Faust suggested this be approached as an open house to honor all volunteers. Coffee, cake and 5 cookies could be served and all could be given a token of the City's appreciation. He suggested 6 the entire community could attend and pay tribute to the volunteers. 7 Marks suggested that at the dinner each organization could discuss their charter and goals and 8 this could be rotated through the years. This would be a tremendous opportunity to introduce 9 people to volunteers. It could also be broadcast on cable television. 10 Thuesen agreed that both ideas were on the right track with involving more volunteers and that 11 without volunteers the City would be in big trouble. He stated that a large open house would 12 probably get more people involved and may be a way to do something that is really appreciated 13 if a big dinner cannot-be afforded. 14 Marks noted it was recognized years ago that eating together is very important. 15 Motion by Cavanaugh, second by Marks to accept the 246 invitees as the first effort to expand • 16 the umbrella of volunteer appreciation and to consider the possibilities further each year. 17 Thuesen stated he could vote in favor of the motion if there would be an evaluation and if the 18 options presented this evening in regard to expanding participation would be kept in mind. 19 Faust stated he would vote against the motion as it stands. He did not believe that the proposal 20 would accomplish the goal, objectives or mission to acknowledge all volunteers. He'suggested 21 this could be a function which would introduce members of the different task forces to the 22 residents of the City. 23 Marks asked how the format could be changed to accomplish the goals. 24 Faust noted the success of the open house for the new Community Services/City Hall. That was 25 a first class operation which involved the whole community. He suggested the volunteer 26 appreciation dinner could be a similar round robin-type format. 27 Cavanaugh suggested the dinner should be more of a night out for the volunteers to'relax. 28 Faust stated he did not see this occasion as a night out. 29 Marks stated the round robin may be an interesting element to include in this function. It may be 30 nice to get a few groups to tell what they have accomplished this past year. • City Council Regular Meeting Minutes March 24, 1998 • Page 19 1 Mayor Ranallo noted that some of the people included on the list have their own function to 2 celebrate volunteers. Also there are other volunteers who are not included on the list. He stated 3 he would vote in favor of the motion but with a caveat that all complaints about the money spent 4 and those not invited be addressed by Cavanaugh and Marks and that the item be studied next 5 year and the amount to be spent be included in the budget. 6 Cavanaugh stated the event could be funded with the Mayor/Council Contingency Fund. 7 Mayor Ranallo stated he liked the idea presented by Faust of an open house format. He stated he 8 could not vote against the motion because it was being done for the volunteers but he would 9 prefer an open house. 10 Marks suggested the appreciation dinner be tried in this format this year and then evaluated. 11 Vote on the motion: Ranallo, Cavanaugh, Marks and Thuesen voted aye. Faust voted naye. 12 Motion carried. 13 XI. ADJOURNMENT.

These regulations covered every aspect of the construction, operation, installation and removal of underground tanks and associated piping. All fuel tanks installed before December 1998 must have corrosion protection, spill protection, overfill protection and leak protection. At the present time the fuel tanks at the Public Works facility do not meet the required standards. Retrofitting our present tanks is not cost effective. Removal of the old tanks and replacement with an above ground tank would be our best option. The City has until December 1998 to complete the project. The Minnesota Petro Fund will reimburse 90% of the cost of the tank removal back to the City. I have received five proposals for the fuel-tank replacement project at the Public Works facility. Each proposal included costs pertaining to consulting services for the entire scope of the project. The services to be provided include developing plans and specifications for the removal of old tanks and placement of the new tanks. The proposals also include site restoration. The following-three proposals are worth consideration: • Northern Environmental $9,998.00 • Dahl and Associates, Inc. $9,632.00 • Nova Environmental Services, Inc. $6,284.00 I would recommend Nova Environmental Services, Inc. for this project. Their proposed estimate for services is considerably less than the other proposals. After reviewing Nova's list of references and speaking with their project manger I am confident they will provide the necessary services to make this project a good experience.

FORSBERG— April 2, 1998 Mr. Mike Mornson City Manager City of St. Anthony 3301 Silver Lake Road St. Anthony, MN 55418 Dear Mr. Mornson: As you kgow, the current extension of the cable television franchise ordinance expires on April 20, 1998. We have now fundamentally completed negotiation of a renewed franchise and the North Suburban Communications Commission will consider the franchise at its regular meeting Thursday, April 2, 1998. We fully expect that the Commission will make a positive recommendation to its member cities regarding adoption of the franchise and that the final documents will be provided to the member cities in the very near future. However, time is needed for cities to fully review the proposed franchise and because some cities have lengthy ordinance adoption requirements including first and second readings which will likely prevent effective adoption of the franchise ordinance by April 20th, we are recommending further extension of the current franchise. Enclosed please find a proposed Ordinance Amendment extending the franchise for an additional ninety (90) days. This additional extension period has been agreed to by the Company in order to prevent a lapse in the franchise. Of course, this further extension does not change the underlying terms of the current franchise, and simply permits the orderly adoption of the renewed franchise. Please adopt the enclosed Ordinance Amendment and send notification to this office Mr. Mike Mornson April 2, 1998 Page 2 -If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. In summary: 1. The current cable franchise extension expires on April 20, 1998. 2. Enclosed is a further extension of the franchise ordinance to July 20, 1998. 3. Please adopt the enclosed. 4. Please send a copy of the adopted Ordinance Amendment to my attention. Sincerely, BERNICK AND LIFSON, P.A. Thomas D. Creighton Robert J.V. Vose Enclosure cc: Ms. Coralie A. Wilson Mr. John F.

We currently charge $5.50 for copies of all reports (be it-1 page or 300).

When I pulled the case,it was well over 1,000 pages. Luckily, the attorney only requested the search warrant. Had he wanted the entire report,it would have taken several hours to prepare. I also contacted three neighboring cities to see what they were charging for copies of police reports.

P Y • Mayor ATTEST: City Clerk Reviewed for administration: City Manager MEMORANDUM DATE: March 31, 1998 TO: Mike Mornson, City Manager FROM: Roger Larson, Finance Director ITEM: MIS CONSULTANTS/COMPUTER TECHNOLOGY At the March 10"council meeting, Council directed staff to contact the companies who had submitted computer technology proposals to readdress the technology upgrade. Council felt the proposals received addressed the second level of implementation and that what the City needs to do is determine how the upgrade will make the City more productive. The desired information is to provide the City with goals and a clear. vision/understanding of what is possible for St. Anthony to do with the upgraded technology. Also, Council indicated that because that the consultant selected would be developing hardware specifications that.the firm should be excluded from bidding on hardware upgrades. I contacted the firms who had submitted proposals to discuss our needs and requested them to resubmit their proposals accordingly. Two of the firms (GE Capital and Business Records) wish to remain a hardware vendor and not provide the City with consulting services. That leaves the City with LDSI's proposal (LDSI is not a hardware provider). In addition, staff did additional research and found a consultant by the name of NETLink who has done extensive work with several Cities including Shoreview,' Fridley, Oakdale, Brooklyn Park and other governmental units. Also, I was able to secure an Internet tape from Community Television, which discusses the commitment of several.Northwest Suburbs that are in the process of upgrading their technology (NETLink has worked with some of these Cities). For Councils review, I have included the proposals from LDSI and NETLink. Please note that LDSI acknowledges the need for a network assessment and a goal setting vision and feels their initial proposal provides the City with those services. NETLink indicated that the automation of St. Anthony's computer technology is similar to what they have done for the City of Fridley and estimates the project should take between 80 to 100 hours. Comparison of the two firms: 1) Nether firm provides hardware, which means consulting is their main focus. 2) LDSI was recommended by the League of Minnesota Cities: 3) NETLink has worked with several cities that have automated their technology or are in process of upgrading.' 4) The billable charge per hour for LDSI is $100.00 per hour. NETLinks is $115.00 for 80 - 100 hours. $100.00 per hour for 100 plus hours. Final thoughts: My impression is that either one of these firms could provide the consulting services the City is seeking. LDSI is very competent to provide the services; however, with the exception of the League their references indicated very little work with city governments. On the other hand, NETLink has provided services to the cities of Fridley, Shoreview', '% Brooklyn Park and etc. Selection of this firm could be beneficial because of their previous city government experience (having already completed this process for other cities could result in less billable hours). _ ff RAM 0 T e r n a F i' o n a I Thursday, March 19, 1998 Roger Larson Saint Anthony Village 3301 Silver Lake Road St. Anthony, MN 55418-1699 RE: Technology Consulting and Support Partnership Dear Roger: SThank you for meeting with me on Friday to discuss your vision for information technology at Saint Anthony Village.

NETLink has provided professional technology solutions to many organizations similar to Saint Anthony Village. Some if these include: The City of Shoreview The City of Fridley The City of Brooklyn Park The City of Oakdale The Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board The Minneapolis Institute of Arts The Minneapolis Public Housing Authority The common thread between these clients is that NETLink made them more productive by enhancing and stabilizing their information systems.

OTHER BUSINESS. 2 Faust questioned the discussion at the last meeting in regard to Freedom Gas Station. He -3 asked what check and balance system the City could put in place to ensure that 4 developers comply with the requirements of other regulating agencies. He suggested 5 there had to be an umbrella to cover what goes on within the confines of the City. He 6 stated he was shocked that a certificate of occupancy would be granted if all the 7 requirements of all the regulating bodies were not being met. 8 Morrison stated the City did attempt to withhold the certificate of occupancy. The City 9 Attorney advised the City to issue the certificate and let the governing agency, Rice 10 Creek Watershed District, resolve the problem. The City has sent a letter, signed by the 11 Mayor, to Freedom Gas Station asking them to comply and correct the problem. One of 12 the problems is that the property belonged to St. Marie and then OPUS and then an 13 investor and finally Freedom Gas Station. 14 Faust stated he felt rather foolish asking the legislature for funding to mitigate a water 15 problem and then allowing this to happen. 16 There was direction to Staff to determine a means to monitor that all the requirements of 17 the regulating agencies are complied with and completed as required in future • 18 redevelopments. 19 VII.
