MEMORANDUM
DATE: March 27, 2002
TO: Mayor and Councilmembers
FROM: Michael Mornson, City Manager
SUBJECT: KRAUSE ANDERSON CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT FIRM
Attached is information the City requested from Krause Anderson, construction management
firm. This firm has worked with several suburbs on developing fire stations and other public
buildings. Joel Hewitt has worked with them in Maplewood.
We asked them to come to tonight's Work Session for two purposes. First is to explain the
construction management process to the Council. Second is to review several options with the
Council on the construction and/or renovation of a fire station and public works building. We
have not hired this firm. All work provided to date is at no cost to the City. We ask them to assist
us with the possible estimate to co-locate the fire station and public works with $2.3 million
pricing.
After their presentation to the Council, I would ask the Council to ask questions of Krause
Anderson or any of the staff present. We would dismiss Krause Anderson and move on to the
next agenda item. I would recommend that we revisit agenda items 1 and 2 as to how we plan to
proceed when we review our goals towards the end of the meeting.

RE: New Fire Station and Public Works Facility
Dear Mr. Mornson:
It has been a pleasure for Jon Kuenstling and myself to meet with you and other staff recently to learn about
the projects being contemplated by the City of St.Anthony.
It is our feeling that the City of St. Anthony would get their greatest value by having Kraus-Anderson
Construction Company provide Construction Management services for your proposed Fire Station and Public
Works projects. Our Construction Management services are comprehensive in that we will assist you not only
in the initial study phase of planning and budgeting the project,but also in hiring an architect to provide design
services for your project. In addition, our pre-construction services will include project communication,
scheduling, cost estimating, value engineering and ultimately the bid and award of the work to trade
contractors.
Once the project is under construction, our Construction Management services will include full-time site
supervision as well as project management of the contractor work. In this way, Kraus-Anderson will provide
trade contractors coordination,quality assurance of the work, as well as communicating and administrating the
contracts, pay requests and other construction phase items.
In the instance that a building project results and Kraus-Anderson is engaged by the City of St Anthony, our
fee for these Construction management services would be a lump sum negotiated with the City, based on the
actual scope of work of the project. This fee usually ends up in the range of 2% - 3%, depending on the scope
and complexity of the building project.
We hope this letter summarizes the discussions we have had about Kraus-Anderson's offer to provide the City
with comprehensive construction management services, from preliminary through construction. We are
excited about the prospect of serving the City of St. Anthony in developing solutions to its facility needs.
Should you have any further questions, please do noLhesitate to call me at(763) 786-7711. We look forward
to the opportunity to discuss this further in our meeting with the City Council.
Very truly yours,

To: Mr. Michael Mornson, City Manager
From: Michael L. Larson, Liquor Operations Manager
Subject: Preliminary Liquor Store Report
Date: 3/25/02
Mr. Mornson,
We are researching costs associated with the construction of a new Off-Sale
Liquor Store to replace our existing .Off-Sale Store#1. The City of North Branch,
Dougherty & Company and the Hennepin County Assessor provided the figures
used forconstruction costs. Dougherty & Company provided the annual payment
figures, and the costs associated with issuing a revenue bond. Dougherty &
Company was used for the financing of Off-Sale Store #2. Traffic counts were
provided by Hennepin County. We are using traffic counts for potential yearly
sales figures that the new store may generate.
Based on our research, the cost to construct a 9,000 square foot store would be
approximately $900,000 to $1,100,000. This represents construction costs,
interior fixtures and refrigeration. The cost does not include demolition of the
current store or the Stonehouse Bar& Grill. We also assumed that there would
be no land costs associated with this project.
John MacDonald of Dougherty & Company provided an annual repayment figure
of$100,000 to $120,000 per year based on a 20-year loan at today's prevailing
interest rates.
Traffic count research shows that Highway 88 experiences approximately 15,900
vehicles,per day at our intersection. Traffic counts on Southbound Silver Lake
Road at 37th Avenue are 10,400 vehicles per day. Using strictly traffic counts for
very preliminary sales figures, the new Off-Sale Store#1 has the potential to
generate $3,100,000 per year, an increase of$1,000,000 per year over our
current location. We are currently researching other methods for determining
potential yearly sales figures. I will provide-you with those figures and
methodology when completed.
There are many cities currently constructing new Off-Sale Liquor Stores. I am
monitoring their progress and I will update you on any new information when it
becomes available.

Dear Mr. Mornson,
During a telephone conversation last week Randy Hodson mentioned he had spoken
with you regarding City support for the St.Anthony Village Community Concerts.
Randy said you were concerned about the payback to the community from the
program. Enclosed is a summary of the project. Please take the time to read
it and gain the understanding of how we got started ,what has been
accomplished and what is to come.
The mission of the Community Concert Association is to offer every man, woman
and child in this community the opportunity to experience the magic of live
performance by bringing artists and audiences together.
Four times a year the Community concerts will bring the finest performing
artists to St. Anthony. We will transform the St. Anthony High School
Auditorium into Carnegie Hall. You never really know the extent of influence
these concerts will have on our audience. Perhaps a young person in our
audience will become a featured artist on tour?
The Community Concert Series will directly involve the 40 developmental
assets.
. . . . . . . . . .Support: These are intergenerational concerts. Persons of all ages,
gender and nationalities are encouraged to attend. The young people will
benefit from meeting others from the entire St.Anthony community as well as
communities surrounding us. The experience of meeting and knowing others will
enlarge their world and give them the opportunity to learn of the cultures and
environment that they are part of. The more contact we have with everyone the
more secure we become with the changes in our lives.
The evening concert artists give outreach programs for the students at no cost
to the community. They meet with the students(ages decided by the schools) to
encourage their involvement with music. Materials to be used in the class room
are provided. The concert is presented for the students so that they have a
better understanding of music and especially where they can apply this to
their own lives. Being able to hear Good Music at a Good Price just might be
what turns on the light in children's minds.
The volunteers who help with the matinee may or not be persons that the
students are aquainted with. This will give the opportunity to meet other
persons who care about the subject matter as well as making sure they have the
chance to learn and understand more about. a new field.
. . . . . . . . . .Empowerment: As mentioned above. The more you know ,about your
community and the people living there the more you feel safe.
. . . . . . . . . .Time: Family time is very important. The concerts are appropriate
for all ages. The tickets are prices for adults, students and family tickets(
price equals 2 adults and 2 student tickets) .The goal is to get families
involved! There is the possibility to work with the schools for class credit
to be given for attendance at the concert. When the concerts are decided for a
season there can be coordination between the music taught in school and the
music being performed.
. . . . . . . . . .Positive Identity: Music gives purpose to the lives of all people.
Students who have the opportunity to hear good music will have the memories
for a lifetime. It may be a new experience or it may be they will come to
realize they have been given a gift of music and make it their life.
We are completely non-profit. We are requesting support' to help make Good
Music at a Good Price a reality in our community.
Thank You,
George and Mary Rockwood

"Riverdance..........This is a Major Event!"
March 16,2003- Alison England-Soprano What do you get when you cross an award
-winning classical voice, a musical theatre soul and infectious sense of humor? Alison England

Broadway and Pop's best, with the hilarious reflections of one artist's journey through life.
Alison England has been described as a"powerful singer,with chilling,velvety operatic voice."
She has performed with, among others,Florida Grand Opera,Seattle Opera,Kansas City Lyric
Opera,the Los Angeles Philharmonic, St Louis Symphony and the Honolulu Symphony.She has
been invited to appear at major concert halls in the U.S., including the Dorothy Chandler
Pavilion in Los Angeles, Kennedy Center, Avery Fisher Hall,Pasadena's Ambassador
Auditorium, the Orange County Center for the performing Arts, and Radio City Music Hall.
Complete with arias,show tunes, comedy and more. Alison England's"Opera,Broadway&
Beyond"is a sure entertain.
April 5,2003-Hot Club USA Four-piece jazz ensemble. The all string jazz ensemble echos the
glories of the past while remaining current in style and substance. Taking their cue from the
famous Stephan Grapelli-Django Reinhardt Hot Club Quintet of 1930s Paris,the groups
infectious sound and driving rhythm has made them a favorite at jazz festivals and clubs in the
U.S.,Europe and Japan. Frank Vignola is a master of the quitar and Federico Britos began
playing the violin at age five and went on to perform as principal chair, soloist, and ultimately
concertmaster with some of the great symphony orchestras of Uruguay,Venezuela,Peru, and
Cuba.

II .ABILITY
Community concerts started in the 1920' s. Instead of struggling
to make up deficits after the fact, the money is raised first and
then the artists are hired. The plan works ! Thirty-five per-cent
of the cost of our, first series came from the sale , of series
tickets. Fifty per-cent of the series tickets sold where family
tickets. A family ticket includes two adults and two children.
People are willing to spend a modest sum in advance for a season
of four concerts. People are invited to attend the concerts by
people they know. People from their neighborhood, church or their
children' s school . The concerts are of the highest quality, a
vital mix of major stars and performers still on their way to
prominence. A.C.T. I.O.N (Adults and Children together in our
neighborhood) is an organization working to make our community a
better place. In the spring of 1999 they sponsored an
Intergenerational Dialogue. A group of over 80 people met for a
day to discover what our community needed to provide to make a
positive impact on the relationship of AU people of all ages.
At the end of the session a list was compiled of the suggestions
made. Music was on the list. The history of the community
performing arts has been limited to school related activites. The
idea of Community Concerts came forth and with the encouragement
of the community has become a reality. Attendance at the concerts
has represented all genders, ages and nationalities and numbered
in the hundreds. When the auditorium was not available for the
Chinese Golden Dragon Acrobats the Superindentant of schools was
contacted to find us space. The great performance in the
gymnasium was the high light of the year.The St.Anthony Bulletin
gave the event front page coverage including pictures.

III .Community Need/Support
St.Anthony Village is a first-ring suburb located just east of
northeast Minneapolis, straddling the border of Hennepin and
Ramsey Counties. It is a small city of 2.35square miles,
surrounded by larger ones. Roseville lies directly to the east,
New Brighton to the northeast, and Columbia Heights to the
northwest. No major highways cross the City, except for Trunk Hwy
36, which cuts across the southeast corner. The community is
going through population shifts as the "first generation" of
homeowners are aging and choosing to remain in the City but are
moving to townhouses, condominiums and apartments. The
single-family homes are now occupied by a new generation of young
adults starting new families. Female headed single parent homes
19
have increased. There is a decline in income due to the
population aging, since seniors are frequently on fixed incomes.
Many members of the community no longer have their own
transportation. A committee is actively collecting the names of
the persons needing transportation and matching them with the
persons willing to provide transportation. Since this is
neighbors helping neighbors there will be no costs involved.
The excitement from the first series is creating much
encouragement for others in the community to become involved. The
purchase of. a series ticket gives the advantage of the best price
for each concert, membership in the St.Anthony Community Concerts
and advance knowledge of concert information.
In-kind support by printed word has been given by The St.Anthony
Bulletin. The Northeastern Newspaper, The Focus Newspaper,
Community Services, and the City of St. Anthony. Articles and
pictures appeared in their publications. CTV Channel 15 presented
two one hour shows using videos information and community
residents. Attorney, Tom Breaver, provided legal help to obtain
not-for-profit and 501 (C) 3 status at no cost to the
organization. Charles Hockert, CPA, advises on all financial and
tax matters. Ellin Lindee is the advisor on presenters and
concert series organization and carryout. Donation support of the
concerts was given by community members and organizations, local
and metro business, government and friends.
IV. Diversity
The performers provide classical and popular music from around
the world. They perform using 30 different instruments-winds,
strings & percussion, by their feet in step-dance, country
clogging and quick tap and by voice, musical theatre and
infectious humor.They go from current to the Hot Club Quintet of
the 1930' s Paris.
Among the population 25+, 87% are high school graduates and 310
have a bachelor' s degree or higher. St.Anthony retains a high
jobs-to-residents ratio: 85 jobs per 100 "working age" residents
while Columbia Heights has fewer jobs, but Roseville has one and
a .half jobs per "working age" resident.

Alborada,a five member musical group led by Milo Batista,has entertained audiences
worldwide with their unique blend of authentic Andean music.The band is comprised entirely of
members of the Mr.Batista's family-his wife Lordes, son Paul,daughter Jhoanna,and nephew
Jose Serrano.Two years ago,the Batistas, natives of Ciudad Obregon, Sonora,Mexico,
began a new venture, fulfilling Mr. Batista's long-time dream of performing the folk music of
Central and South America with his family.
An outstanding composer and musician,Mr.Batista leads his family through a diverse selection
of traditional Andean music plus an exciting international repertoire. His background includes a
lifetime career as a teacher of traditional music and instruments as well as the European classics.
He is a virtuoso on the Andean flutes and has mastered many folk instruments and styles.
Mr.Batista has performed at Lincoln Center,Camegie Hall and many noted halls and theaters
throughout the Americas. His work has been stimulated by his travels and by his experiences
collecting original folk tunes throughout Latin America, a process which has enhanced his
appreciation of diverse regional styles. His professional goal is to keep alive the music of the
Andean culture,performing it with his family and passing it on from generation to generation.
The family's music combines modern and traditional sounds from the Andean culture. They
compose and arrange music based upon folkloric tradition from many countries, including
Bolivia,Peru,Paraguay, Colombia, Chile and Mexico.
Often mistakenly called"Inca music",present day Andean folk music is the product of centuries
of cultural and ethnic blending. The wind and percussion instruments indigenous to the Andean
world existed in Pre-Colombian America hundreds of years prior to the Incas(c.1200-1500AD).
These instruments were played well before the birth of Christ. The highland music of
Peru,Bolovia and Ecuador forms the backbone of Andean folk music. Since they had no written
language,the Incans recounted events and stories through their music. Andean regions and
villages differ widely in terms of instruments,tuning, dance and rhythms. The richness and
variety are seemingly without end, but Andean music is today recognized worldwide as an
integral element of the beauty of South American Culture.
Dancing on Common Ground makes us aware of the roots of two popular American dance
forms:tapping and clogging. Poor Irish immigrants flooded urban areas-especially New York
City-where they shared neighborhoods with the country's largest population of free African
slaves. Tap came out of these lower classes,developed in competitive"battles"on street corners
by the two groups. Those Irish who moved to the hill country gave birth to clogging. In both
cases, the dance, like the people themselves, were changed forever by the American experience.
Rigidity gave way to fluid movement and tradition to youthful American exuberance.
Creator/producer/artistic director Lorraine Rennie was a successful marketing executive when
she decided to leave the corporate world to start Top Entertainment and Events in Atlanta 13
years ago. Since then Top Entertainment has received acclaim for the quality of its work,
including features on CNN,print media and the prestigious"Best Entertainment Production of
the"96 Olymic Games"award from the International Special Events Society. This is her fourth
theatrical production. Lorraine thanks the parents, who made so many personal sacrifices to
further their children's talents, the teachers who molded and shaped that talent and the cast for
sharing their gift with all of us.
Personnel 25
Alison England A one woman show that blends the power, passion and pizazz of
Opera, Broadway and Pop's best with hilarious and poignant recollections of one
artist's journey in life and art. Alison England has starred at Lincoln Center, The
Kennedy Center, The Dorothy Chandler Pavilion, Ambassador Auditorium and
Radio City Music Hall. She.has.sung leading roles with Seattle, Miami, St.Louis,
Long Beach and Kansas City Operas and starred in "The Sound of Music", "The

Frank Vignola and The Hot Club U.S.A. Born of the unforgettable acoustic
chamber jazz sound created in Paris in the 1930's by Gypsy guitarist Django
Reinhardt and his venerable partner violinist Stephane Grappelly, Frank Vignola
and The Hot Club U.S.A celebrate the music of these two legendary artists in an
original tribute to "Le Jazz Hot". First formed in 1997 as an outgrowth of a concept
in Florida Called "Jazz In Paris", the Hot Club U.S.A. has gone on to tour
extensively in the U.S. and Europe. At the age of 34, Frank Vignola is widely
considered to be among the top rank of jazz guitarists today. Born in Long Island,
New York he began playing the guitar at the age of five. While still in his teens, he
experienced the most effective music education possible- right on the bandstand as
a working musician. He performed throughout the world with artists Chet Atkins,
Les Paul, Woody Allen, Ringo Starr, the Manhattan Transfer, John Lewis and
Lionel Hampton. All this time is was the compelling sound of Reinhardt and
Grappelly that remained closest to his heart. Vignola is mindful of his French
forebears and is not trying to duplicate what came before but rather echo the overall
sound while staying true to his modern roots.

Subject: Strategic Planning Report _
Please find attached the 2002 Strategic Plan for St. Anthony Village. This plan was prepared
based on the January 24 and 25 Council and Staff retreat. The session materials have been
reproduced for this final report.
Several key implementation issues include the following:
1. The plan has been prepared based on general Council direction. The implementation
program should be reviewed by the City Council and adopted with any required
changes.
2. The Council should select the goals to be discussed at quarterly meetings. The
Feedback Connection Checklist should be used to verify that the strategic plan is
tracking properly.
3. Written quarterly written updates to the plan should be prepared indicating progress
on goals. An emphasis should placed on identifying problems with implementation
for information or action purposes.
4. It is expected that"course corrections" in the strategic plan will be necessary and
should be made as needed. This may mean that issues will be pr.^setl,t:,d outside of
the scheduled quarterly updates.
5. An evaluation form has been attached. Ehlers will use the feedback to improve the
quality of our services.
I look forward to reviewing this report with the City Council.
