6 explained that the Council is requesting input from the public regarding ideas and suggestions
7 that the residents would like to see occur in the City and incorporated into the budget.
8 Traditionally, the Public Hearing for the budget is set for later in the calendar year and it is
9 difficult sometimes to enact suggestions at that time. The Hearing is held earlier in the year this
10 time to enable residents to express opinions for potential inclusion into the City's budget.
1 l After calling for input from the members of the audience and hearing none, Mayor Cavanaugh
12 closed the Public Hearing at 7:06 p.m.
13 VIII. GENERAL POLICY BUSINESS OF THE COUNCIL.
14 A. Resolution 00-031, re: Award Construction Bid for 33rd Avenue NE Street Improvement
5 Project.
6 City Manager Michael Morrison stated that Michael Foertsch of SEH/RCM was in attendance to
17 review the recent bid tabulation for the project at 33rd Avenue, Silver Lake Road to Stinson.
18 Mr. Foertsch approached the Council and stated that bids had been solicited and opened on April
19 14 in connection with the 33rd Avenue Street Improvement Project.
20 In this respect, Mr. Foertsch directed the Council's attention to a letter dated April 18, 2000 from
21 SEH/RCM in which the recent bid tabulation was set forth. In essence, three bids were consid-
22 ered, and"Tenson Construction, Inc."had presented the lowest bid($623,707.00). The engi-
23 neer's original estimate for the construction portion of the project was $590,969.00.
24 In response to a question posed by Cavanaugh regarding funding sources, Morrison directed the
25 Council's attention to page 26 of the Agenda packet,which was a memorandum from Finance
26 Director Roger Larson dated April 19, 2000 regarding funding for the project. In short, Mr. Lar-
27 son's memorandum stated that he was confident that the MSA funds available are adequate to
28 fund and support the four projects anticipated. Those projects are: (1) Silver Lake Bridge Proj-
29 ect; (2) Signal Light(37th and Highcrest); (3) 29th Avenue Street Project (MSA Bond); and (4)
30 33rd Avenue Project(which would also include an internal loan).
31 Thuesen expressed concern that the City would be utilizing all of the MSA funds available for
2 current projects, leaving little or zero funds available for future projects. Morrison replied that
3 over the past five years, the City has updated many or most of the MSA roads, and even though
34 other projects will be considered for the future, there should not be a conflict for the use of funds.

1 Horst inquired about how an MSA road is designated. Morrison explained that a report is com-
2 pleted,together with engineers and professionals that designate a road to be an MSA road.
3 In completing his report, City Manager Morrison directed the Council's attention to pages 29 and
4 30 of the agenda packet which depicted specific information on the General Obligation Storm
5 Sewer Revenue Bonds (Series 2000A) and General Obligation State-Aid Street Bonds (Series
6 2000B).
7 Cavanaugh expressed some concern over the outcome of the current Legislative session and the
8 possibilities for funding that are tied to the results of that session. He discussed various alterna-
9 tives in the case that the funding would be different that what is anticipated.
10 Motion by Hodson to approve Resolution 00-031, a Resolution Awarding a Bid for Street and
11 Sidewalk Improvements for 33rd Avenue NE, Between Silver Lake Road and Stinson Boulevard,
12 wherein the City Council of the City of St. Anthony states that:

19 C. Presentation of 1999 City Audit by Stuart Bonniwell, City Auditor.
20 Mayor Cavanaugh announced that Stuart J. Bonniwell, Certified Public Accountant, was present
21 to present the audit report to the Council. Cavanaugh explained that the audit reports are new to
22 the most recent Councilmembers. Additionally, Mr. Bonniwell's presentation of the
23 audit/Council report was pursuant to the contract that the City has with Mr. Bonniwell.
24 Cavanaugh clarified that the audit/Council report provides important information and he
25 encouraged the Councilmembers to meet with Mr. Bonniwell if any further questions arose that
26 were not answered in his presentation.
27 Mr. Bonniwell addressed the Council and directed attention to his letter of March 28, 2000
28 wherein certain observations were communicated and noted during the audit of the general pur-
29 pose financial statements of the City for the year ended December 31, 1999. The comments were
30 presented for the Council's information and consideration. Additionally, comments and recom-
31 mendations in the report were constructive in nature and intended to provide recommendations to
32 improve and/or strengthen internal control, financial management, and administration.

34 various questions from the Councilmembers. However, a general assessment was that the City's
City Council Regular Meeting Minutes

1 financial condition continues to remain strong. The operating funds of the City, consisting of the
2 General Fund, Special Revenue, Debt Service, and Capital Project funds remained healthy. The
3 City's proprietary funds(enterprise funds --liquor and utility) also improved as a result of opera-
4 tions for the year. The strong financial condition of the City is reflected in the bond rating re-
5 ceived by the City from Moody's Investors Services.
6 Additionally, the general fund balance as of December 31, 1999 showed an increase of 32.50%
7 from the prior year. Furthermore,revenues exceeded expenditures and Mr. Bonniwell proceeded
8 to show a condensed summary of revenues and expenditures compared to the budget for 1999.
9 Moreover, Mr. Bonniwell stated that certain transfers from funds were reflected in the accompa-
10 nying financial statements, but he reviewed the specific transfers and the amounts relating thereto
11 with the Council as set forth in his letter of March 28, 2000. In concluding his presentation, Mr.
12 Bonniwell reviewed the balance of said letter with the Council and fielded additional questions.
13 Hodson directed questions towards Mr. Bonniwell regarding the City's investment portfolio.
14 Hodson expressed interest in reviewing the City's portfolio and Cavanaugh agreed that was an
15 excellent idea.
06 Cavanaugh acknowledged that there was an action item to be addressed regarding approval of the
17 above-mentioned transfers.
18 Motion by Horst to approve the transfers reflected on page 5 of Stuart Bonniwell's letter of
19 March 28, 2000, and set forth below:

30 Cavanaugh inquired about potential transfers of liquor profits for park improvements. Mornson
31 stated that the City would require funds for Central Park improvements; however,the dollars
2 could be placed in the General Fund with the flexibility for transfers, or the funds could remain
3 in the liquor fund and continue to have flexibility.

1 Horst agreed the liquor fund was an excellent source for park improvement dollars. Mr.
2 Bonniwell.offered that the Council is at liberty to use the funds, change designations, etc.
3 Cavanaugh mentioned that he would prefer to leave the dollars in the liquor fund and go forward
4 knowing all the resources are in place and that flexibility has not been sacrificed.
5 Motion by Thuesen to approve the 1999 City Audit as presented by Stuart Bonniwell.
6 Motion carried unanimously.
7 D. Review 2001 Budget Calendar and Discuss Budget Goals.
8 City Manager Michael Morrison stated that the public hearing for the 2001 Budget took place at
9 this meeting (April 25, 2000) as opposed to the typical hearing held in October. This was in-
10 tended to allow the public to offer input and pose ideas for the upcoming budget, as well as allow
I 1 the City time to implement those ideas and suggestions.
12 In this respect, Morrison presented the Budget Schedule for the 2001 Budget, as noted on page 40
13 -of the agenda packets, which presented important dates and a timeline for each action required by
14 the City.
05 Mayor Cavanaugh and City Manager Michael Morrison thanked the City Staff in attendance at
16 the meeting for being available to provide for a smooth process in evaluating the 2001 Budget.
17 Horst cautioned that he believed the City needed to be careful about potential over management
18 of the budget. In other words,that the department heads should be directly involved with the
19 budgeting process of their specific department. He was concerned about overstepping
20 boundaries with City Staff about goals and objectives.
21 Cavanaugh clarified that the Council is simply searching for input from City Staff and would not
22 interfere with the management of the departments. Cavanaugh felt that the work session in ques-
23 tion would promote dialogue and awareness amongst the Council and Staff.
24 XI. REPORTS FROM COMMISSIONS AND STAFF.

26 1. Hillcrest Development for Apache Plaza Property; Amendment to Comprehensive
27 Plan.

29 attendance to present the issue of the Amendment to the Comprehensive Plan. Addition-
30 ally, Morrison directed the Council's attention to a letter dated April 25, 2000 from
01 Anthony Gleekel, attorney for Hillcrest Development. Said letter stated that Hillcrest De-
2 velopment withdrew its Petition for Amendment to Zoning Ordinance (to add a C-2
33 zoning district) and its Petition for Rezoning the property to C-2. The Petitions were
City Council Regular Meeting Minutes
April 25, 2000
. Page 8
1 submitted on March 21, 2000.
2 Mr..Gleekel.'s letter further stated that Hillcrest withdrew the Petition, as the City will
3 adopt a new mixed use Planned Unit Development Ordinance, and Hillcrest will make an
4 application for the Property to be rezoned to PUD. Additionally, Mr. Gleekel expressed
5 his understanding in the letter that Hillcrest's general concept plan for PUD zoning will
6 be before the Planning Corrimissiari on May 16, 2000 and he would be contacting
7 Assistant City Manager Spencer Isom about the timing of the submittal of the PUD
8 application.
9 Morrison welcomed Mr. Hanson and invited him to address the Council. Mr. Hanson di-
10 rected the Council's attention to page 66 of the agenda packet, which depicted a memo-
s 1 randum from Assistant City Attorney Spencer Isom dated March 24, 2000. In said
12 memo, it was stated that Hillcrest was seeking approval of the following: (1) Amendment
13 to the Comprehensive Plan; (2) Petition for new zoning district from a C-1 Commercial
14 to a C-2 Commercial; and (3)Amendment to the zoning ordinance for a change to the
15 property district from C-1 to C-2. Mr. Hanson noted that Hillcrest had withdrawn request
16 nos. 2 and 3, and the Amendment to the Comprehensive Plan was simply before the
�7 Council today.
18 Furthermore, recently the members of the Planning Commission, City Council, Staff, and
19 John Shardlow of Dahlgren, Shardlow, Uban(DSU) took a bus tour hosted by Hillcrest
20 Development. Subsequent to the tour, it was determined that the route that would be in
21 the City's best interest with respect to the redevelopment of Apache Plaza would be to:
22 (1) Amendment the Comprehensive Plan to accommodate an Office/High-tech
23 designation(mentioned above); (2) change the City Code to allow for a PUD; and (3)
24 request that Hillcrest proceed with the development of Apache Plaza under the newly- .
25 created PUD process.
26 At the Planning Commission meeting on April 18, 2000, Mr. Gleekel spoke to the Com-
27 mission and stated that the concept would be acceptable to his client(Hillcrest Develop-
28 ment) and would continue to provide the opportunity needed and the flexibility required
29 in order to successfully redevelop Apache Plaza.
30 The Planning Commission held a public hearing at the April 18, 2000 meeting and re-
31 ceived input from three members of the audience. Those comments are noted in the Min-
32 utes of that meeting.
33 Mr. Hanson presented a depiction of the proposed revised land use plan, which depicted
4 the boundaries of the PUD.
35 Mr. Hanson stated that Phil Carlson of DSU was present at the April 18 Commission
1®
City Council Regular Meeting Minutes
April 25, 2000
Page 9
I meeting and clarified that under the current zoning requirements, there is less control by
2 the City over which businesses choose to utilize the zoning uses. Under a PUD, the rules
3 change and the City would be able to utilize more control over the property.
4 Mr. Hanson stated that in response to concerns of some residents around Silver Lake re-
5 garding stormwater runoff, he had expressed his belief at the Planning Commission
6 meeting that the PUD would provide leverage for the City to work toward the
7 improvement of water quality and deal more effectively with those issues, as opposed to
8 simply rezoning the property.
9 Mr. Hanson directed the Council's attention to a document prepared by DSU entitled
10 "Proposed Comprehensive Plan Tex Change"and invited the Council to review the text.
11 Lastly, Mr. Hanson stated that the Planning Commission(in a motion by Stille and sec-
12 onded by Thomas), had approved the Amendment to the Comprehensive Plan as
13 proposed in the document prepared by DSU and the Resolution is now before the Council
14 for approval.
0 1 5 Cavanaugh clarified that the Metropolitan Council needed to approve the Amendment to
6 the Comprehensive Plan, and that the Council was simply approving the Amendment on
17 the expectation that it would be approved by the Metropolitan Council.
18 Thuesen noted Mr. Hanson's comment in the Planning Commission meeting minutes of
19 April 18 regarding stormwater runoff from Apache Plaza, and inquired about the process
20 to address that issue.
21 Mr. Hanson stated that Scott Tankenoff, Managing Partner of Hillcrest Development, has
22 contacted the Rice Creek Watershed District and has begun a dialogue regarding the
23 stormwater issue and that this subject could be addressed in the Developers Agreement.
24 Mr. Hanson offered his understanding that Mr. Tankenoff intended to go above the
25 standards provided by Rice Creek in connection.with water quality.
26 Cavanaugh suggested that the document prepared by DSU entitled"Proposed Compre-
27 hensive Plan Text Change" include a heading"Amendment to St. Anthony's Comprehen-
28 sive Plan".
29 Motion by Horst to approve Resolution 00-032, a Resolution Approving an Amendment
30 to the City of St. Anthony Comprehensive Plan, with an addition to the "Now, Therefore"
31 clause as follows:

2 the redevelopment of the Apache Plaza property within the City of St. Anthony.
3 Motion carried unanimously.
4 City Manager Michael Morrison stated that Mr. Tankenoff was in the audience and would .
5 provide an update to the Council about the Apache Plaza redevelopment. In the mean-
6 time, Morrison provided the Council with an update regarding critical issues forthcoming
7 in the redevelopment from the City's standpoint.
8 Morrison welcomed Mr. Tankenoff and invited him to address the Council. Mr.
9 Tankenoff stated that Hillcrest Development is continuing to make excellent progress on
10 the site of the Apache Plaza, and have held several meetings with City Staff, City's con-
11 sultant(DSU), and Hillcrest's consultant.
12 Additionally, Mr. Tankenoff stated that Hillcrest Development is taking the stormwater
13 runoff issue seriously and intends to meet or exceed the standards that Rice Creek
14 expects.
05 For the record, Morrison stated that occasionally concerns arise'with regard to the funds
16 spent on consultants and other professionals that represent the City's interest in redevel-
17 opment projects. He wished to state that the City has a reimbursement agreement with
18 Hillcrest Development for said fees expended in connection with the redevelopment.
19 Cavanaugh thanked Mr. Tankenoff for his progress report and expressed the Council's
20 appreciation for his excellent work to date.
21 2. Resolution 00-033,Nextel Communications for 4001 Stinson Boulevard;
22 Conditional Use Permit for Antenna Placement.
23 City Manager Morrison invited Mr. Hanson to address the Council on behalf of the Plan-
24 ning Commission.
25 Mr. Hanson explained that the Commission had held a Public Hearing on April 18, 2000
26 to obtain input regarding the proposed antenna placement on the Apache Medical Build-
27 ing.
28 Additionally, Mr. Hanson presented photographic renderings of the proposed installation,
29 including a front, back and side view. The depiction indicated a mechanical room and the
30 antenna installation, as well as an equipment building. Furthermore, the maximum allow-
1 able height above the building is 18 feet per City Ordinance, and the antennas for Nextel
2 are expected to cap at 16 feet.

1 Mr. Hanson clarified that an engineer had reviewed the design and specifications and a
2 letter had been drafted and signed to the effect that the building is capable of supporting
3 the proposed installation(page 90 of the agenda packets).
4 Thuesen inquired about the possibility of additional companies wishing to install
5 antennas and expressed concern about the utilization of the water tower for placements.
6 In this respect, Mr. Hanson introduced Jim Nelson of Buell Consulting, acting as a repre-
7 sentative for Nextel Communications. Mr. Nelson addressed Thuesen's concern by stat-
8 ing that typically a space of approximately 15-20 feet must be maintained between
9 similar antennas. The issue at hand becomes compounded by the structure itself.
10 Mr. Hanson reviewed the Minutes from the April 18, 2000 Planning Commission
11 meeting wherein the Conditional Use Permit requested by Nextel Communications was
12 approved upon motion by Bergstrom, and seconded by Hanson.
13 Motion by Hodson to approve Resolution 00-033, a Resolution Approving a Conditional
14 Use Permit for Placement of Wireless Antenna at the Apache Medical Building, wherein
#6 the City Council of the-City of St. Anthony hereby approves the request for a conditional
use permit from Nextel Communications allowing construction of a wireless antenna site
17 at 4001 Stinson Boulevard in the City of St. Anthony.
18 Motion carried unanimously.
19 B. Police Department 1999 Annual Report.
20 Mayor Cavanaugh welcomed Police Chief Engstrom and invited him to address the Council.
21 Police Chief Engstrom reviewed for the Council pages 99-111 of the agenda packets which pre-
22 sented the 1999 Annual Police Report.
23 Chief Engstrom pointed out that there was a drop in Part 1 crimes and an increase in Part 2
24 crimes. The significance is due to the fact that there were more police officers on patrol that al-
25 lowed for additional arrests of Part 2 crimes. Additionally, Chief Engstrom noted that the de-
26 partment has developed a zero tolerance for alcohol usage, drugs, and underage tobacco usage.
27 Chief Engstrom noted that the department was proactive in 1999 with the involvement of the
28 Community Prevention Coalition,DARE, Crime Prevention efforts, and training of three new of-
29 ficers as well as two new Community Service Officers. Additionally, three town meetings were
30 held in May relating to crime prevention, Y2K issues, and City functions. Chief Engstrom
1 elaborated that the department conducted tobacco compliance checks during the year and
2 obtained a federal/state grant for Liaison officers at the high school on a part-time basis for the
33 Year 2000.

1 Chief Engstrom pointed out that there are two new programs for the Year 2000, which include a
2 bike patrol and alcohol compliance checks.
3 Horst asked about details of the bike patrol and Chief Engstrom responded that the community
4 would be patrolled and in the residential areas as much as possible. One intention is to promote
5 personal contacts with the citizens and Chief Engstrom believes the bike patrol will be an asset
6 for the community.
7 Thuesen offered his support for the bike patrol and inquired if the DARE program continued to
8 be successful at the schools. Chief Engstrom stated that the program has been a tremendous
9 asset for the community and provides an avenue for interaction and connections with the officers,
10 kids, parents and the school.
11 Cavanaugh thanked Chief Engstrom for his presentation and stated that, on behalf of the commu-
12 nity, the City would like to express its appreciation for the excellent service the Police
13 Department has provided.
14 C. Cily Manager.
City Manager Michael Momson reiterated that three town meetings were held last year in con-
junction with the Police Departments and that City Staff is coordinating with the Police Depart-
17 ment to hold another town meeting. The purpose will be to discuss crime watch and the Mayor
18 would provide an update on projects. An agenda is being drafted and the main focus will be a
19 type of"State of the City" address.
20 Cavanaugh expressed his opinion that an open house would be good to hold in conjunction with
21 the town meeting.
22 Mornson further reported that there was a meeting with the School Board last February, and an-
23 other meeting scheduled for May 23 before the regular meeting of the Council. Consequently,
24 the Council meeting is scheduled to begin at 7:30 p.m.
25 Furthermore,the citywide cleanup date is scheduled for May 6, 2000 from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m.
26 Anyone interested in assisting with the cleanup, please contact Public Works Director Jay
27 Hartman.
28 Additionally, Friday, April 28,2000 is the date for the volunteer dinner. Mornson encouraged
29 everyone to attend and said the response so far has been excellent.
30 Mornson reported that the 29th Avenue Street Reconstruction Project is scheduled for the May 9
1 City Council meeting, but could be postponed if the legislative session has not adjourned by that
2 date. Furthermore, the moratorium issue for the Salvation Army project is scheduled for the May
33 9 City'Council meeting as well.

4 demolished.
5 Morrison announced that the City has delegated to the new Fire Chief the job of obtaining the
6 new Opticon system. A fund of$65,000 was set up three years ago, but it has been determined

8 would be returning to the Council since additional funds will be needed.

Emergency Vehicle Preemption
Proposal for Engineering Services
SEH No. P-SANTH0005.00
Mr. Jay Hartman
Director of Public Works
City of St. Anthony
3301 Silver Lake Road
St. Anthony, MN 55418
Dear Mr. Hartman:
Short Elliott Hendrickson,Inc. (SEH)is pleased to submit this proposal for design and construction services
related to 8 Emergency Vehicle Preemption (EVP) systems within the City of St. Anthony.
SEH has extensive traffic engineering, transportation planning, and design experience, and is familiar with
traffic signal design,preemption design,preemption equipment, and all associated requirements(including
those of Mn/DOT, Hennepin and Ramsey Counties, and the City of Minneapolis). Since 1978, SEH has
. .
-prepared designs for over 300 signal systems throughout the State of Minnesota. We have also prepared
.plans for more than 200 EVP installations on existing signal systems. A listing of recent EVP installation
locations,along with contact persons from each agency, is enclosed with this submittal. Our understanding
.of local agency requirements and philosophies,along with our extensive signal design experience,will help
in completing timely and proper designs for each intersection.
Our proposal responds to your request for proposal. As a first step in our work program, we will review
each intersection with City personnel to assure that analysis and design fit each intersection's specific needs.
After review and agency inputs,we will prepare a preliminary letter report to the City,detailing anticipated
costs to install each EVP system. Final design, submittal to the appropriate agencies, and construction
services will also be performed by SEH. We propose to complete all work related to the design and
construction observation of each EVP system for a not-to-exceed cost of$8,000. We will work with the
City to establish and meet schedules as required in a cost effective manner.
We appreciate the opportunity to present this proposal and look forward to working with the City of
St.Anthony.
Respectfully submitted,

April 24, 2000 RE: St. Anthony, Minnesota
Emergency Vehicle Preemption
Proposal for Engineering Services
SEH No. P-SANTH0005.00
Mr. Jay Hartman
Director of Public Works
City of St. Anthony
3301 Silver Lake Road
St. Anthony, Minnesota 55418
Dear Mr. Hartman:
Short Elliott Hendrickson Inc.® (SEH) appreciates the opportunity to submit this proposal to the
City of St. Anthony for the design and construction inspection of eight (8) Emergency Vehicle
Preemption (EVP) Systems on the inplace signal systems at:
1. Silver Lake Road at 39`h Avenue NE
. 2. Silver Lake Road at 37`h Avenue NE
3. Silver Lake Road at 33`d Avenue NE
4. Silver Lake Road/Kenzie Terrace at St. Anthony Boulevard
5. Kenzie Terrace at Kenzington Apartments/Autumn Woods Apartments
6. Kenzie Terrace/Lowry Avenue at Stinson Parkway
7. New Brighton Boulevard (CSAH 88) at St. Anthony Boulevard
8. New Brighton Boulevard (CSAH 88) at 29`h Avenue NE
SEH is committed to developing a work program and design for the EVP systems that will be
compatible with the City's needs. We have met the City's high standards in our previous work
and will provide the same quality services for this project.
This letter proposal can be the basis for an agreement for the design of the EVP systems and the
subsequent construction services. As part of the project, we have put together the following work
program for performing the design of the EVP systems. The work program is fairly well defined
based on anticipated cooperative efforts between SEH and St. Anthony for this project.
1. Predesign Meeting
SEH will meet with your staff immediately following notice to proceed to determine exact
details of the coordinated effort. This meeting will include a field review of each intersection.
This permits evaluation of EVP equipment placement and general signal operation. A field
review will also identify special concerns for use in each design.

Mr. Jay Hartman 34
April 24, 2000
Page 2
2. Predesign Report
SEH will contact all affected agencies (Hennepin County, Ramsey County, Minneapolis, and
Roseville) to determine potential cost participation in the project and anticipated agency costs
to the City of St. Anthony to allow for EVP to be installed at each intersection. SEH will also
contact the proposed material supplier for the project to determine estimated costs for
equipment to be purchased in advance by the City for the project.
In conjunction with the field review of each intersection as well as the above-mentioned
agency contacts and inputs, SEH will complete a preliminary estimate for each EVP system
and prepare a letter report detailing this information. SEH will not begin final design of the
EVP systems until the City has approved the findings of the report and authorized SEH to
proceed with design.
3. Plan and Specification Preparation
Existing plans for each inplace traffic signal system will be obtained by SEH from each
agency. The plans will be reviewed for existing cables and other equipment. Intersections
will be reviewed in the field to determine the level of existing operation. Any potential
changes needed in phasing, geometric design, signal location, or signal operation will be
noted. Potential installation of EVP equipment will be determined with particular attention
paid to the location of the EVP detectors and the need for any- supplemental (advance)
detectors. We will meet with the City, Hennepin and Ramsey Counties, and all other affected
agencies (as needed) to determine the specific needs of the intersections and the plans. The
type of EVP equipment to be utilized will also be discussed. Cabinet needs will be reviewed
by SEH with the appropriate agencies.
SEH will prepare a final design for each EVP system and plan.sheets that will include an
intersection layout, wiring diagram, all required details, and a title sheet for the entire project.
SEH will also prepare all specifications for the project, as well as an Engineer's cost estimate
for the work.
Specific items which should be included in each EVP system design can be discussed with
the City, and all other affected agencies as required. The plan sheets will be signed by a
registered civil engineer. The plans and specifications will meet all applicable requirements
of the Minnesota Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices, the Mn/DOT State Aid
Standards, and all applicable federal, state, and local electrical codes and standards.
SEH will submit preliminary plans and specifications to the City and Counties for review and
comments. Discussions will be held as necessary to assure plans are compatible with the
standards of each agency. Comments from each agency will be reviewed and changes made
as necessary.
Final plans and specifications will be submitted to the City and Counties for approval and
. signatures. Applications for any permits required beyond plan approval will also be
prepared.

4. Prepare Bid Documents
SEH will advertise for bids in the appropriate publications, prepare contract documents, and
distribute plan sets to bidders.
SEH will also answer bidder's questions during the bidding process, and issue any necessary
addendums.
5. Contract Award
SEH will tabulate the bids and provide the City with a recommendation of award. SEH will
also circulate the contract documents for City and contractor signatures.
6. Project Management
After the City awards the contract, SEH will attend the pre-construction meeting and review
shop drawings as needed. SEH will also provide construction contract administration (State
Aid reporting and other documentation) as needed.
7. Construction
SEH will also provide construction observation for the EVP project. This would entail
staking equipment locations in the field and periodic visits to the job sites to review work and
respond to construction-related questions. SEH would observe the technical portions of
. construction as necessary, review each EVP system following construction, and provide a
punch list to the City and Contractor. As part of'the construction observation portion of the
contract, SEH would provide to the City and Counties an as-built set of plans for each signal
system.
SEH will also complete final project review and approval, and facilitate project close-out.
Schedule and Fees
We propose beginning work immediately upon being notified to proceed by the City. We
anticipate the predesign meeting and report will be completed within 2-3 weeks of notification.
Preliminary layouts can be provided to the City and Counties within 6-8 weeks of receiving
approval to proceed. Preparation of final plans would begin immediately upon receiving the
City's and Counties comments on preliminary plans. Specifications will be prepared to coincide
with the completion of final.plan sheets.
It is anticipated that this project would be constructed either in the Fall of 2000 or early Spring of
2001, to take advantage of lighter contractor workloads and more competitive bid prices.
The proposed work program includes preparation of the preliminary report, plan sheets, and
special provisions, as well as construction observation. All work will be done on an hourly basis,
plus the actual cost of reimbursable expenses.

RE: WAS Funding Resolutions
SEH No. ASANTH9902.03
There are three (3) documents-attached which require approval from the City Council. They are
as follows:
1) A Resolution Requesting Authority To Encumber Future MSA Funds
2) A Resolution Requesting Approval For The Use of Local Funds To Finance Projects Until
WAS Funds Become Available
3) Request To Reserve Advance Funding-City is eligible to request $500,000.
• The Request To Reserve Advance Funding puts the City in line for "an interest free loan" from
the State which can be used to finance MSA projects which are not funded by the City's current
MSA fund balance. This money is paid back to the State through future MSA allocations. This
money is not guaranteed. There currently is no money available in this State account for the
State to lend to cities. A request has been made to the State Aid Engineer to allocate another
$5M for the cities to borrow. If the City secures this money from the State, the City would not
have to internally transfer $500,000 to cover the some of the costs associated with 33rd Avenue
and the 29th Avenue projects. The request outlines an estimated $701,100 which the City needs
over and above it's current MSA fund balance to fund the 29th Avenue, 33rd Avenue, Silver
Lake Road and Mllcrest signal projects.
The MSA projects scheduled to start in 2000 will deplete the City's MSA monies until at least
the year 2006.

RE: Ordinance #2000-002, Adding Section 300.04(c) Authorizing the City
Manager to Obtain Background/Criminal History Data About
Finalist for City Positions
The proposed ordinance will enable the City Manager to obtain criminal history data contained
in the Minnesota Criminal Justice Information System of the finalists for City positions. It
also enables the City Manager, upon obtaining an authorized consent form, to research
criminal history data on a person.who has, may have, or seeks to have access to a child, under
Minnesota Statutes 299C.61, and who is employed by, volunteers with, or seeks to be
employed by or,volunteer with the City or with a children's service provider utilizing city
parks, buildings, or facilities.
The. fiscal impact of implementing/administering the services associated with this ordinance
will originate from the General Fund - Police account. Funds are available.

TO: Richard Engstrom, Chief of Police
FROM: Kim Dulz
SUBJECT: CRIMINAL HISTORY CHECKS
A criminal history background check, through the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension,
may be conducted in one of two ways:
1. Submitting an informed consent to the BCA with a check for $8.00. This
fee will be increased as of April 1, 2000.
2. Having a City Ordinance that allows criminal history checks on
. employment applicants.
After checking, the City of St. Anthony does not have an ordinance allowing for criminal
history checks of employment applicants for the city. I contacted area cities and received
the following information.
Attached are copies of ordinances received from the cities of Roseville, Fridley, and .
Blaine.
After a review of these ordinances, I would recommend the Blaine ordinance be used as a
model policy. In the first paragraph after.... contained in the Minnesota Criminal Justice
Information System... I would add"and the Bureau of Criminal Apprehension." The
only reason I would recommend this is because, on the informed consent, the BCA
requires that it be stated the information will be obtained from the BCA.
Also attached, for your information, is a copy of Blaine's policy on conducting
background checks for coaches. I don't know if we have an ordinance similar to this, but
I think it would definitely be something positive for the safety of children participating in
various events.sponsored by Community Services.
Note: Without fingerprint cards, and informed consents, being submitted to the BCA,
records check will only advise of Minnesota conviction records. The reason for this is
. every state has its own Data Practices Laws regarding what can be released and for what
reason the information may be released.

ITEM: LOT COVERAGE ORDINANCE AMENDMENT
Recently, Planning Commissioners Tillmann and Thomas presented a report to the Planning
Commission and the Council relating to lot coverage and building to land ratio. The City
Attorney has reviewed the resultant Ordinance 2000-003 (see attached) and approved it as to
form.
Staff Recommendation: Motion to approve Ordinance 2000-003.
48
To: St. Anthony City Council
From: St. Anthony Planning Commission
Re:. Recommendation to change lot coverage ordinance.
Background
In the fall of 1999, the Planning Commission heard two very similar variance requests
in consecutive months. They were both requests for variances of the lot coverage
maximum. Both were undersized tats in area and width. 'Both had garages located in
the backyard with the driveway running from the street in front (i.e., no alley). .Both
were above the maximum 35% lot coverage limit with 20-25% of the coverage made
up of the driveway and garage. Both listed the non conforming lot size and width as
the hardship in their variance request.
There.are 439 lots under the current 9000 square foot minimum, about 25% of the city.
We suspect that most, if not all, of these lots are already above the 35% limit and many
will be seeking variances as people seek to enlarge their Rarages or improve their
homes. Rather than looking at the requests on a case by case basis,.the Planning
Commission wants to set criteria that can be applied consistently, allowing
improvement of the homes in St. Anthony wiftut,advemely affecting_the-storm..water
control efforts. The go;l of thg ordinance change is to reduce the number of variance
requests to only thoae�that-r,_epresent extraordinary circumstances.
Recommendatlnn
We recommend that-the Ipt coverage ordinance be cha,nged as follows:
1. Change Section 1605T Subd. 44(a) Lot Cove--age to clarify the definition of
"impervious surface" W e de.rl-ec-ks-as long as the surface below the dock is
..not f mpeus.
Lot Coverage. The area of a tot covered by impervious surface. An
impervious surface is any material that substantially reduces or
prevents the Infiltration of storm water into previously.undeveloped
land. Impervious surface shall, iriclude all buildings, driveways
(paved or-gravel),sidewalks and-park.lng�-areas. A surface that.has _
been compacted or covered with a layer of material so that it.is
highly resistant to-infiltration ley water will be considered impervious.
Impervious surface shall not include decks as Jong as the surface
beneath the deck is hot impervious.
Note: The-definition a.a_deck should_ also..be_changed to ensure that the deck
.itself as-notimpervious.
2. Change Section 1615.05, Subd. 8 to create a two tier system for lot coverage
limits. Lots with area 9000 square feet or over would retain the 35% limit. Lots
with area less than 9000 square feet would have an increased limit of 40%.
3. Add a storm water retention plan to the building permit application. The
49
applicant must submit a short paragraph outlining what steps are being taken in
connection with the project to retain storm water,on-the property. An
educational brochure would accompany the application to give people ideas of
what can be done. The intent is to create education and incentives for people to .
take these.steps rather than requirements and enforcements.
Rationale
Excluding Decks
Under current interpretation, decks-are counted in determining lot coverage because
they are structures. This does not seem in line with the intent of the ordinance to limit
storm water runoff since water can run through the spaces and permeate into the
ground below.
Two Tier Lot Coverage Limit
We believe-the,35% limit.is nol reasonable fdr lots-under the current minimum lot,size
of 90QO square feet.. Todd Hubner of WSB reported to us that increasing the lot
coverage limit for these lots would.not affect the storm water retention in St. Anthony.
The two tier system::would allow property owners to imptaye their property without
going.through the variance process, leaving variance requests for only extraordinary
circumstances. The 35% limit for lots.of 9000 square feetand above is in line with
other communities and we believe it provides adequate room for development in the
majority of cases... Richfield has s similar two tier system.
Water Retention Plan
We believe most people would be willing to make simple changes to their building
plans to help alleviate S.t. Anthony's storm water problem if.thay were given ideas and
encouragement to do so. Examples include directing gutter down spouts into the yard
rather than dawn the driveway and sloping-parking.'are.as toward the yard.-rather than
toward the street. If things like this were done on a city-wide basis, there is potential
for a significan0avorable impact to the storm water control efforts.

.1 1. An undue hardship would be caused if the sign was moved and subsequently
2 caused a change-to the configuration of the Church and configuration of the traffic
3 pattern;
4 2. The variance would be utilized to correct an extraordinary circumstance with re-
5 spect to the traffic pattern and the setting of the lot;
6 3. The undue hardship has been caused by the city ordinance and the sign was in ex-
7 istence prior to the codification of the ordinance;
8 4. The agreement mentioned and recommended in City Attorney's letter dated
9 March 1, 2000 would be entered into and become part of the setback variance;
10 5. There were not any significant changes to the sign in the modification and
l 1 updating process.
12 The City Council of the City of St. Anthony hereby approves the request made by
13 Nativity Lutheran Church, 3312 Silver Lake Road, for a setback variance for placement
14 of a sign due to the aforementioned reasons.
15 Motion carried unanimously.
16 On another issue,Thomas noted that the Planning Commission has been considering various op-
17 tions in which to reduce the number of variance requests received. In this respect,Thomas
18 directed the Council's attention to Kim Tillmann's report on the lot coverage ordinance, as well
19 as a letter from Todd Hubmer dated April 6,2000.
20 In essence,the Planning Commission has researched the issue and obtained a professional
21 opinion from WSB & Associates, and determined that a viable option to reducing the number of
22 variance requests would be to:
23 1. Increase the lot coverage ratio to 40% for lots at or under 9,000 square feet;
24 2. Lots over 9,000 square foot would retain the current 35% lot coverage ratio;
25 3. Decks would be exempt from lot coverage as long as the deck was built over a
26 pervious surface; and
27 4. When a resident applies for a building permit,they would be asked to submit a
28 water retention plan that would be a part of the building process. Additionally, an
29 educational brochure would be provided at the time of the permit application to
30 provide more information and education. When the permit is returned, the
i31 resident would be asked to submit 2-3 paragraphs outlining the homeowner's plan
32 to provide for storm water runoff.

1 Momson added that City.Attomey Soth would review the lot coverage issue for legalities and
2 return with his opinion to the Council, at which time the readings.would begin (three readings re-
3 quired) in order to change the Ordinance.
4 On another issue,Thomas reported that the Planning Commission was pleased with the tour of
5 the Hillcrest Properties and that the worksession of the Commission thereafter produced some
6 excellent ideas and thoughts. Additionally, the possibility of holding a town meeting to discuss
7 the Apache Plaza project was discussed, as well as the possibility of inviting the Mayor of
8 Burnsville to speak to the Council regarding that City's redevelopment projects.
9 Regarding the lot coverage issue, Horst asked if the Planning Commission had determined the
10 process to determine if an area underneath a deck would be pervious or impervious. Tillmann
11 stated that a clear definition of impervious features would need to be developed.
12 In connection with the stormwater management plan for homeowners previously mentioned,
13 Morrison wanted to ensure that the process would be clearly defined.and not a burden for the
14 residents.
4915 Mr. Hubmer offered that an option would be to simply hand out educational brochures that .
16 would provide some options on stormwater runoff. The intent, he stated, was not to provide a
17 policing problem, but to simply provide education.
18 Tillmann clarified that the stormwater management plan to be submitted by homeowners was not
19 intended to be a part of the City's ordinance, but simply to become part of the building permit
20 process as a way to educate residents.
21 Sparks supported the change to the lot coverage ordinance and thanked Tillmann and Thomas for
22 their presentation.
23 B. Todd Hubmer, WSB &Associates will be present to give a Project Status.Report.
24 City Manager Mornson invited Todd Hubmer, WSB & Associates,to address the Council.
25 Mr. Hubmer stated that he had met with the Parks Commission at their meeting on Monday,
26 April 10, 2000, and had visited Silver Point Park with the members in conjunction with the
27 Commission's meeting.
28 In this respect, Mr. Hubmer directed the Council's attention to his letter dated April 6, 2000,
29 wherein he outlined the status of various projects that are ongoing within the City. In connection
. 30 with Silver Point Park,Mr. Hubmer stated that the Parks Commission is currently in discussions
31 regarding (1)the need for restroom and warming house facilities; (2)park lighting for the
32 parking lot, hockey rink,recreational rink, and security lighting; and(3)punch list items
33 remaining to be completed by the contractor.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: May 3, 2000
TO: Mayor and Councilmembers
FROM: Michael Mornson, City Manager
ITEM: MORATORIUM ON THE SALVATION ARMY PROPERTY
On May 11, 1999 the City Council adopted a moratorium on the Salvation Army property. The
moratorium was for a 12 month period to May 11, 2000.
The City Attorney has presented the Mayor and Council a letter dated April 19, 2000 which outlines
the options for the Council. The options are to extend the moratorium up to a period of eighteen
. months to conduct further studies of possible impacts on development. The second option is to let the
moratorium expire, which means the existing zoning and comprehensive plan remain in effect
(Recreation and Open Space District).
It is my understanding that Heart of the Earth Native American School no longer has a purchase
agreement on the property. The City has been in contact with Hennepin and Ramsey Counties Parks
about a possible purchase as well as the Trust for Public Land to facilitate the possible public purchase
of the property. It is my understanding that discussion between the Trust for Public Land and the
Salvation Army has taken place.
If the City Council is interested in extending the moratorium, I would recommend it be extended for 12
more months to conduct further studies. A possible work plan for the extension of the moratorium
could be as follows:
Task Number Task Time Frame
1 Hire a Planning Consultant to assist City with June 13
creation and implementation of Work Plan (assumes
no RFP and a negotiated agreement with John
Shardlow of DSU)
54
® 2 Appoint a Task Force to work with Planning June 27
Consultant on studies to be completed and create
Work Plan to determine possible outcomes of
moratorium.
Task Force Possibilities: One or two
Councilmembers; one or two Planning
Commissioners; one Park Commissioner; one
School Board member; one member of the Silver
Lake Homeowners Association; one business
member; one member of the Salvation Army;
representatives from Columbia Heights and New
Brighton; City staff support from City Manager or
Assistant City Manager (depending on schedule of
each).
3 and up The Task Force would also possible retain an July 1 to May, 2001
engineering consultant to review impacts on
utilities; a market research consultant; and a
financial consultant.
Final Task Could be the amendment of the Comprehensive May, 2001
Plan and rezoning the property for a different use
or leaving the property as is.
. I estimate the cost to the City for this approach would be between$50,000 and $60,000. We have
approximately $15,000 invested in the past moratorium, which consisted of having Springsted doing
some financial work; a facilitator was hired to conduct a stakeholders meeting; legal fees; and appraisal
fees.
If the City elected the moratorium to expire, the City still retains land use control over the property
based on current zoning and the Comprehensive Plan. Any change would require a 4/5th vote of the
Council. The City also adopted a Park Dedication Ordinance in 1999 which requires a 10% land
dedication requirement for any residential development. If the City would like to exercise more control
over possible redevelopment of the property than they currently have without extending the
moratorium, I would recommend a provision in our newly created PUD Ordinance that any rezoning of
three acres or more require a PUD designation at the Council's discretion..
The benefit of this approach would give the City more control over the possible change of the property
without costing the City the money as would the extension of the moratorium. If the Council is
interested in this approach, I would recommend the moratorium be extended until May 23, 2000 to
allow us time to adopt the PUD Ordinance. The moratorium does not prohibit the property from being
sold to anyone or used as is currently allowed in the Open/Recreation District.
The City conducted the following events and studies over'the past 12 months. See attached.

. Re: Salvation Army Property - Moratorium
Dear Mayor Cavanaugh and Members of the Council:
You have requested advice regarding the possible extension of the existing moratorium on the
Salvation Army Camp property. As we discussed earlier,under state law if the City is conducting
studies or has authorized a study to be conducted, to consider adoption or amendment of its
comprehensive plan or zoning ordinances,the City may adopt a moratorium ordinance to restrict or
prohibit use, development or subdivision of property for a period not to exceed one year. As you
know, this was done. Under the state statute, the moratorium can then be extended for such additional
periods as may be deemed to be appropriate, not to exceed a total additional period of 18 months.
You have asked me to discuss the several alternatives available to the City with respect to the
moratorium. If you take no action, the moratorium will expire by its own terms on May 11, 2000. If
this occurs, the existing zoning will remain in effect and it will be possible for parties to seek building
permits and rezoning or other land use approvals with respect to the property. Obviously, you would
not be required to approve any rezoning, especially if it is not consistent with your comprehensive plan,
but you would be required to issue a building permit if the building to be constructed was a permitted
use in the Recreational/Open Space District and otherwise complied with all of the City's ordinances
pertaining to this property.

The permitted uses in the Recreational/Open Space District are set forth in Section 1645 of the
City Code. The stated purpose of the District is to regulate development in those areas which have
"significant natural amenities, such as trees, terrain, and water resources, and to regulate development
for recreational purposes and areas which have significant public or private recreational potential."
The permitted uses in the District are as follows:
(a) Outdoor or indoor recreational facilities and their supporting structures operated by a
governmental agency, a private, nonprofit service organization or conservation group,
including but not limited to lodges, kitchens, dining halls and supporting restaurants,
dormitories and golf courses.
(b) Trails and pathways for pedestrians and non-motorized means of transit.
(c) Cemeteries.
(d) Schools and government buildings.
Section 1645.04 sets forth some of the accessory uses, such as athletic fields, craft or art
buildings, maintenance buildings, etc.
Thus, the effect of the moratorium expiring would be to revert to the existing zoning, which
permits just those uses described above. Any other uses would require rezoning. No conditional use
permits are provided for in this District.
You have in the past conducted various studies and meetings pertaining to the possible rezoning
of this property and have considered various uses which would be appropriate for the property. If you
are going to continue those studies,you can extend the moratorium as described above. To further
focus and refine the previous studies, I would recommend that you retain a planner, in the same manner
as you have done with regard to the proposed Apache Plaza redevelopment, for purposes of
conducting these additional studies. The ordinance currently in effect makes reference to studies for the
purposes of considering amendment of your comprehensive plan, zoning ordinances and subdivision
ordinances as they relate to this property. In addition,the ordinance makes reference to the following:
59

The studies will also consider what amendments of the City's Code of Ordinances may
be required by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources in relation to the extent
of ground coverage by buildings and other hard surfaces within a specified distance of
the shore of Silver Lake.
If you wish to extend the moratorium,you can simply amend the previous ordinance to extend
the date which appears in it so long as you do not extend it by more than 18 months. You could extend
the-date for 18 months, or you could do several extensions so long as the total extension does not
exceed 18 months. The ordinance as currently adopted provides that it can be terminated earlier by the
City Council after the date has been set.
Ifyouu have any further questions on this, please let me know.
Ve truly yours,
