7 into the program.

9 the volunteer committee has been very busy and there is tentative entertainment scheduled for the

11 Cavanaugh reported he had met with the Mayor of Falcon Heights last week. She is involved
12 with a committee of the League of Minnesota Cities for improving community life and has
13 invited Cavanaugh to attend. Cavanaugh stated he would also like to attend the League of Cities
14 Conference.

17 conference and two Councilmembers attend the national conference.

24 Lehner for the apprehension of persons involved in a drive-by shooting which occurred in St.
25 Paul. The Commander of the St. Paul Police Department commented at the dinner that the
26 number of traffic stops per day has a direct impact on the number of burglaries which occur in
27 that day. Ranallo noted that St. Anthony has a large number of traffic stops per day.
28 Mayor Ranallo reported his attendance at the presentation of the Eagle Scout Award to Andrew
29 Kagel. All four boys in that family have received the award and Ranallo suggested the family be
30 recognized at an upcoming Council meeting.

7 3. The Fire Department report will be presented at the April 28 Council meeting.
8 4. The pre-construction meeting for the 1998 street improvement project is scheduled for
9 April 21.
10 The pre-construction meeting for the 33 d Avenue project will be held in May. Staff will
11 work closely with Warren Rolek due to summer activities at the school. The school is
12 also requesting that their driveway be widened as part of the project. The driveway
13 improvement is not MSA eligible and the school will be funding that portion. This may
14 be presented as a change order.
15 5. Morrison met with Dan Solar, Ramsey County,today and it is Mr. Solar's opinion that
16 the project is still on schedule. Morrison will be meeting with Jay Hartman, Public
17 Works and Mr. Solar tomorrow. Two further meetings will be held. The first, a
18 neighborhood meeting to discuss the proposed sidewalks on the east side of Silver Lake
19 Road and the second, for the City Council to decide on the bridge railing design. •
20 Morrison suggested that the neighborhood meeting be held just prior to the Council
21 meeting so that the results could be presented to Council and the interested parties could
22 stay and partake in that meeting.
23 6. The League of Minnesota Cities Conference will be held in Duluth, Minnesota from June
24 16 -19, 1998.
25 7. The survey questions have been submitted to Decision Resources and it is anticipated
26 they will be returned next week. No questions were received from the School District.
27 Morrison has asked Decision Resources to include their schedule so that it can be
28 advertised to the public. The survey will be conducted between May 15 and June 15,
29 1998.
30 8. Morrison reported on flood mitigation issues:
31 a. A representative of FEMA visited the City of St. Anthony last week and along
32 with Mornson and Todd Hubner of WSB,toured the area of the five homes
33 proposed for demolition. FEMA is currently preparing an Environmental
34 Assessment Work Sheet and will notify the City if they will receive funds by May
35 15, 1998. The response appears to be favorable and if funds are granted,the City
36 will receive them by June 15, 1998 after contracts are approved.
37 b. Six property owners have received applications for the City Grant Program.
38 Notice of the program was included in the City newsletter which was mailed

1 C. Morrison met yesterday with Kent Locksnoe, Director of the DNR. It is Mr.
2 Locksnoe's opinion that the City of St. Anthony will receive $2 million in funding
3 - provided a contract with the State of Minnesota is worked out. Morrison will
4 meet with DNR staff within 30 days to start working on the contract.
5 d. Staff is proposing that the Storm Water Task Force meeting which is scheduled
6 for May 6 be postponed to May 13 as there is a conflict with the Annual Chamber
7 of Commerce meeting. Staff will also direct WSB to determine a
8 recommendation for use of the $4 million(as this is a matching grant) and present
9 this to the Task Force. The Task Force will present their recommendation for the
10 use of the funds at the Council's May 26 meeting. Morrison has talked with Sue
11 Kozarek and it may be that the Task Force's work will be done after the May 13
12 meeting. The members would be forwarded any Council agenda items which
13 pertain to the recommendations they have made. This decision will be discussed
14 at the May 13 Task Force meeting. We are now going into a decision-making
15 stage which will require a large amount of Council involvement.
16 e. More good news! On April 13, 1998,the Metropolitan Council approved a loan
17 in the amount of$40,000 to the City of St. Anthony to pay WSB for the sump
pump inspection program. The loan will be forgiven if it is certified to the Met
Council every year that the Sump Pump Ordinance is effective for a five year
20 period.
21 f. The utility bills will be mailed on April 17, 1998. These bills will include the
22 increase in the Storm Water Utility Fee from $3 to $13.
23 Ranallo stated that Senator John Marty had voted against the Bonding Bill because it was tied
24 into other issues. He did however, put forth a great effort to help the City of St. Anthony with
25 the flood relief issue.
26 Morrison noted Senator Marty had set up the initial meeting with the Director of the DNR.
27 8. The Legislature has voted for levy limits to remain in place for 1999. The tax ratefor
28 commercial will decrease again from 4.0%to 3.5%. Morrison has directed the Finance
29 Director and Bob Thistle of Springsted to determine how this will affect the tax districts.
30 The only real concern is the Apache district. The Legislature does have a provision that
31 if the decrease in the tax rate impacts the ability of the City to pay its bond, the City can
32 set up a special district to levy against the benefitted property to assist in paying the bond,
33 or use other TIF money.

1 IX. NEW BUSINESS.
2 A. Approval of Proposal for Engineering Services for Fuel Tank Replacement.
3 Morrison reported that in 1997 the Federal Environmental Protection Agency adopted regulations
4 governing underground storage tanks. All fuel tanks installed before December 1998 that do not
5 meet the standards must be removed. One such tank which was located by the old Community
6 Center has been removed. There are existing fuel tanks near the Public Works building which
7 need to be removed.
8 Morrison noted the funds for this project are in the City budget. The Minnesota Petro Fund will
9 reimburse 90%of the cost of the tank removal back to the City provided a contractor who is on
10 the Pollution Control Agency list is utilized. Staff is recommending that Nova Environmental
11 Services, Inc. be hired for this project.
12 Motion by Marks, second by Faust to retain Nova Environmental Services, Inc. in the amount of
13 $6,284.00 for the fuel tank replacement at the Public Works building site.
14 Motion carried unanimously
15 B. Ordinance 1998-007: re: Cable TV Franchise Term(Waive First 2 Readings and Ado vtl.
16 Mayor Ranallo-noted that City'policy is to have two readings and then adoption of any ordinance
17 change. This situation'is unique in that the City did approve an extension of this ordinance 2-3
18 months ago which will expire on April 20, 1998. He explained that Meredith Cable is in the
19 process of selling the cable company and the company was to be purchased by U.S. West. U.S.
20 West was not allowed to purchase the cable company as it would infringe on the open policy
21 regarding cable. U.S. West has since decided to split it's company and include Media One who
22 would then purchase the cable company. He requested the Council approve this ordinance
23 amendment to allow the law firm time to continue to make progress on this issue.
24 Motion by Marks, second by Thuesen to waive the first two readings and adopt Ordinance 1998-
25 007, an ordinance amending Cable Franchise Ordinance 1982-009, Article II., Section 4,
26 Franchise Term.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: March 30, 1998
TO: Michael J. Mornson, City Manager
FROM: Kim Moore-Sykes, Management Assistant
ITEM: Parks Advisory.Task Force Recommendations.
Attached is a copy of the Parks Advisory Task Force Recommendations for the City's
parks and recommendations for the establishment of°a Parks Commission. Andrea -
Lambrecht asked if I would provide copies to the City Council so that they will have an
opportunity to review the recommendations before they are presented to the City
Council on April 28' by representatives from the Parks Task Force.
City of St. Anthony
Parks Task Force Recommendations
• In the summer of 1997 the mayor and city council of St. Anthony established the Parks Task
Force to study the city's parks and make recommendations for their design and usage.
The Task Force was given eight guidelines to use-when reviewing the existing park,system.
Members of the Task Force met from July 1997 until April 1998, when the following responses .
were set forth.
1. What should be the overall configuration of Central Park?
The Task Force reached a consensus of what elements Central Park should contain. The final
configuration of Central Park will be an ongoing process. (See attached plan and elements list.)
2. What additional features should be implemented beyond those currently in the
parks or not on any of the proposed plans? This could include paths with
benches and plantings as well as the location of the Performing Arts Center.
The Task Force recommends:
-walking pathways, benches,landscaping and natural areas be added to the parks
-an aesthetic focal or entrance point to Central Park should be included in the overall renovation
-an additional restroom facility needs to be made available to the public at Central,Park(This need
. could be met by upgrading the existing skating rink restroom and extending the season and times
the doors remain unlocked.)
-outside performing arts center
3. What additions or changes should be made to parks other than Central Park?
Due to the potential flood control plans being discussed by the Flood Control Task Force,which
may include major excavation and total revamping of Emerald and Silver Point Parks,the Parks
Task Force is unable to address the needs of those two parks. Members of the Parks Task Force
did inventory and draw layouts of the parks as they exist to aid in planning and renovating,but
tabled their efforts to go further.
The Task Force proposes a Parks Commission assess additions or changes to the two parks as part
of the recommended St. Anthony Village Comprehensive Plan for the entire park system.
4. What is the schedule at which these recommendations should be implemented?
Once the comprehensive plan has been drafted and cost assessments obtained,a phasing schedule
can be drawn up. The Task Force suggests play areas will have a significant impact on the
. community and should be a top priority. The success and visibility of completing the play areas
will help keep the momentum for continuing work on the remainder of the park plans.
Page 1 of 2
5. How should these recommendations be funded? Bonding, general funds,
donations, user fees, etc.?
Funding sources would be varied and include grass-root fundraising,as well as monies from •
grants, user fees, flood relief,city, school, state aid and perhaps allocating budget surplus (ex.
savings from plowing). Neighborhood groups, service organizations, school classes, families,
individuals, governmental,private-and corporate contributions of money,time,expertise,
structures (ex: benches),landscaping materials and"sweat equity"would be sought wherever and
whenever practical.
6. Since Central Park is half school and half City, who and how should the parks
be administered? Should there be a Parks Commission, and if so how should it
be structured?
The Task Force unanimously moved that a Parks Commission be established. Members of the
Parks Commission should be made up of citizens who would serve as an advisory board to the city
council and staff. The Parks Commission would keep the spirit that has been established with the
School District.
Task Force recommendations for the formation,structure,responsibilities and mission of a Parks
Commission are presented in a separate document.
7. What policies should be put. in place to insure that they provide maximum
benefit to all of St. Anthony? These policies would be additions or changes to •
current City ordinances.
A complete review of the current city and park ordinances should be made by the Parks
Commission before addressing this item.
8. Other concerns that the Task Force may have for the Council.
*The City Council must move forward immediately with the establishment of a Parks Commission.
Initially,there would be a briefing of the current Parks Task Force(at least in part)and the newly-
appointed Parks Commission to provide continuity of ideas that have been produced by the
diversity of the Task Force.
-There are many changes occurring in the city that affect how our parks are to be developed.
Coordination of efforts is imperative for well-planned and executed comprehensive city and park
plans.
*Funding to preserve and insure for park,improvements,maintenance of existing equipment and
facilities,as well as acquisition of new parks and pathways will be necessary to bring our
community up to minimum recommended standards as set forth in the St.Anthony Comprehensive
Plan.

City of St. Anthony
Parks Task Force Recommendations
for Establishing a Parks Commission
. One of the questions presented by the Mayor and City Council to the Parks Task Force in July
1997 asked if there should be a Parks Commission and if so, how should it be structured. After
months of Task Force meetings it became increasing clear a Parks Commission should be
established as soon as possible to deal with ongoing,and upcoming park issues. . It was
unanimously agreed a Parks Commission is necessary to create and manage a comprehensive,
long-term plan for the parks of St. Anthony.
In that spirit, the Task Force offers the following recommendations as to a possible Park
Commission structure,designated responsibilities and mission:
Structure:
•7 members representing citizens of the community+an informal,non-voting student representative
-three-year terms(staggered)
-members be appointed by the city council
-compensation as the city council shall provide by resolution
-elected chairperson&vice chairperson
-name liaisons between city council and staff& park commission, community services & school
board
Responsibilities:
-Advise the city council and staff regarding park issues and ideas.
-Complete a comprehensive, long-term park plan in relation to the community as a whole. This
plan should be viewed as a working document that serves as a framework and reference for future
•
development.
-Develop routes into other communities in the form of bikeways, walking paths and corridors of
green space wherever possible.
-Establish priorities and recommend a phasing plan and schedule for implementing 'park
improvements,renovations and new creations.
•Investigate funding sources, including requesting increases in the city budget designated for parks
and greenways.
*Seek out new areas for additional parks, natural areas, walking paths, bikeways and corridors.
-Generate community involvement in the development of the parks and their elements.
-Provide an opportunity for individuals or groups,upon request, to address the parks commission
regarding park matters.
*Address the operation and maintenance of the parks.
•Periodically revue, re-evaluate and update the comprehensive park plan to reflect the current and
future needs of the city.
Mission: Create and manage a comprehensive, long-term park plan that attempts to meet the
. aesthetic,leisure and activity needs of St. Anthony residents of all ages and abilities.

March 1, 1998
Honorable Mayor and Councilmembers of St. Anthony Village,
In accordance with city ordinance, I herewith submit the 1997 Annual Fire
Report for the City of St. Anthony.
The year 1997 was primarily defined by the planning for a new fire truck and
flood relief. Our drive for flood victims on the Red River resulted in tens of
f thousands of dollars worth of supplies, which were sorted and shipped from St.
Anthony. Our fire truck committee spent many hours creating specifications for
an innovative vehicle that will serve St. Anthony for many years to come.
I wish to thank all of the members of the fire department for the skill and
dedication which they have shown toward the community. I also wish to thank the
Mayor, the City Council, and the city staff for the support and confidence thay
have given us-during the year.
Sincerely,
Richard Johnson, Fire Chief

PERSONNEL
The total staffing of the fire department is as follows:
1) Full Time 7
2) .Part Time 18
3) Maintenance Reserves 12
During 1997 we maintained status quo on personnel.
We continue to enjoy a low on-duty accident rate. During 1997 we experienced a
back injury while handling hose (no lost work time), and a part time firefighter
experienced a cardiac problem which resulted in a month off from firefighting
duties.
APPARATUS
During 1997 we used the capital budget to replace half of our SCBA air bottles.
This replacement program is mandated by OSHA. We have also replaced the
suspension systems on both Engine 11 and Engine 12 as well as the wheels on
Engine. 12. In April the Council approved the purchase of a fire truck to replace
Engine 21 and so most of the year was spent doing extensive research and putting
together specs for this new pumper.

• II. OPERATIONS
EMERGENCY ACTIVITIES
We responded to 708 emergency calls during 1997. Although the numbers in
both medical and non-medical categories are down slightly from 1996, the fact
that we went over 700 runs for the past two years indicates that we have reached
a new plateau in the number of emergency runs each year (see chart on
emergency runs).
Our non-medical categories were unremarkable last year and our annual fire loss
_ was unusually low at about $1.60 per capita (as opposed to about $35 statewide).
This year I have added the new category "street flooding" to the list. previously,
we have lumped all water problems into one category and this new format will
differentiate between widespread flooding and single building flooding due to
broken water pipes, etc. Arson in St. Anthony was non-existent in 1997 and
cigarettes and cooking remained the primary causes of structure fires.
In terms of medical calls, cardiac problems remained the most common situation
while flu-like symptoms moved ahead of respiratory. Medicals constituted 70%
of our calls in 1997 which is consistent with past years and the chart on age
distribution shows that our patients are becoming even older than in the past. The
average age in 1997 was 67 and the median age was 75.

III. FIRE PREVENTION AND TRAININ
TRAINING REPORT AND STATISTICS
Although our training numbers are down slightly in 1997, we received a wealth
of training experience when we conducted live bums on the old city hall. We
spent two days on the building and virtually half of the public works training
hours were accumulated on this project. We were also able to send 6 of our
personnel to work with Ramsey County on a disaster drill involving a simulated
airliner crash. Because our training numbers for public works have been quite
low in the past, the public works director and I have worked out a new schedule
to improve them.

INSPECTIONS
We have established three objectives for our inspection Programs:
1. Educate the public in fire safety;
2. Improve familiarity with the community, its buildings, and their
occupants;
3. And eliminate hazardous situations.
This program involves the annual inspection of every occupancy with the
exception of one and two-family dwellings. The success of this program is
evident in the very low incidence of non-residential fires over the years. During
1997, we inspected 25 occupancies through this program.
In addition to our annual fire inspections, we also.conduct day care and public
school inspections under a contract with the State Fire Marshal's office. During
1997 we-conducted 2 such inspections.
We also conduct inspections of new occupancies through the occupancy permit
process. During 1997 we conducted 2 such inspections.
FIRE DRILLS
State law requires all schools and nursing homes to conduct fire and tornado.
drills on a regular basis. During 1997 we were involved in 6 such drills.
15.
PUBLIC SAFETY EDUCATION
We continue to place a major emphasis on educating the public in fire safety. Our
success is evident in the fact that we host groups from surrounding communities.
We're also proud of the fact that fire safety has become an integral part of the
curriculum in both Wilshire Park and the home economics classes at the high
school. During 1997 we provided fire safety education to 899 citizens. Our 1997
open house also exposed about 300 citizens to various safety messages. We also
provide a successful safety camp through the Community Services playgrounds
program. In 1997 we 39 participants at this camp.
EMS .ACTIVITIES
One of the priorities in our EMS system is the education of St. Anthony's citizens
in first aid and CPR. We provided this training to youth groups, high school
classes (CPR is required for graduation), senior citizens, and employee groups in
the city. During 1997, 157 people received this training from us.
Another program we offer is free blood pressure checks. During 1997 we took
602 blood pressures for citizens in this area. In addition to helping people
maintain blood pressure programs, we also discover problems that might
otherwise go undetected.
Because of standards established in 1984, our roster currently contains 1
paramedic, 14 EMT's, and 10 first responders.

DATE: February 3, 1998
TO: Michael J. Mornson, City Manager
FROM: Kim Moore-Sykes, Management Assistant
ITEM: Tobacco Ordinance
Attached is a draft of the proposed tobacco ordinance that the City is required to adopt. State
regulations suggest that if a unit of local government is unable to adopt such an ordinance, then
the County with jurisdiction will implement and enforce the tobacco regulations as established
by the State of Minnesota.
The attached draft ordinance is taken from the League of Minnesota Cities model ordinance.
The City Attorney has reviewed it and made revisions; the Chief of Police and the Liquor
Operations Manager have both reviewed the propose ordinance. There was a question about
developing and enforcing additional administrative penalties, but in speaking with both Mr.
• Soth and the Police Chief, they agreed that the current prosecutorial system is adequate to
enforce the tobacco ordinance once it is adopted by the City Council.
