23 Report of Councilmember Wagner
24
25 Councilmember Wagner attended the League of Minnesota
26 Cities Annual Conference in Bloomington . He gave a brief
27 rundown of some of the workshops he participated in at
0 the Conference.
30 Among the workshops he attended, Councilmember Wagner
31 felt the one which addressed public relations was well
32 done. Public relations is managing and shaping public
33 opinion as well as creating a positive City image.,
34 Dealing with' a crisis was an issue discussed. A crisis-
35 was defined as any routine which does not go in a routine
36 manner . Public officials were advised to plan ahead for
37 a crisis rather than react to one. They were also
38 cautioned to be fair with the media and to use the media
39 as a public relations tool . He reported that budget
40 balancing is a critical issue this year and that seventy-
41 three percent of cities are raising fees and eighty-four
42 percent of cities are raising taxes .
43
44 Councilmember Wagner found the information presented at
45 the Mandates workshop discouraging. A specific issue,
46 that of the $5 . 21 which is being charged for water
47 testing, originally earmarked the funds to go into a
48 water fund. The Legislature has since decided to put
49 these funds into the State ' s General Fund .
50
51 Some of the other workshops Councilmember Wagner attended
52 were Influencing the Legislative Process , How to be a
More Effective Couhcilmember , Teamwork with the City
Council and the Staff . He felt some of the information

7 available from these workshops applied to St . Anthony but
8 some of it did not . The Councilmember is of the opinion
9 that the City has a very cooperative and effective staff .
10
11 The "table talk" session he attended was facilitated by
12 Dave Childs , City Manager of New Brighton . "Right sizing"
13 of the City, its needs and sharing capabilities were
14 discussed. Councilmember Wagner found this session very
15 informative .
16
17 The final session at the Conference, How Men and Women.
18 Communicate, presented by Dr. Kelly Ott , was of
19 particular interest to Councilmember Wagner . He noted
20 that even though some older studies were quoted from, the
21 information presented was still very timely and
22 informative .
23
24 Marilyn Carlson Nelson was a keynote speaker at the
25 Conference . Councilmember Wagner noted she was very well
26 received and there was a standing ovation for her at the
7 end of her speech .
The budget of the Community Service Advisory Council has
30 been completed and presented to the School Board.
31 Councilmember Wagner felt the outstanding concern at the
32 present time is the future of day care .
33
34 Councilmember Wagner served as a judge of the Father and
35 Child Contest sponsored by the Apache Merchants
36 Association . There were about seventy entries .
37
38 Report of Councilmember Flemincl
39
40 Councilmember Fleming also attended the League of
41 Minnesota Cities Annual Conference. She felt the programs
42 available for family members were excellent and that the
43 League Planning Committee should be commended.
44
45 LMC President-Elect Larry Bakken was the speaker at the
46 annual banquet . He spoke about the high costs of federal
47 mandates and used Columbus , Ohio as an example. That
48 city ' s share of costs to local government to accommodate
49 twelve environmental mandates over a ten year period will
50 be one billion, 88 million , 484 thousand dollars .
51 Councilmember 'Fleming expressed her amazement at these
52 costs .
At a workshop she att.ended it was noted that the "good

6 old days" for city councils are over . - The individual
7 councils will need to provide residents with quailty and
8 councilmembers will need to know what residents expect
9 and how to meet these expectations . She noted that there
10 are always plenty of people who are willing to define the
11 problems but people who are willing to define the
12 solutions are needed .
13
14 Councilmember Fleming attended the recent Police
15 Department Open House . She felt it was first class . It
16 offered tours of the department , informative displays and
17 explanations from officers regarding specific tasks
18 associated with the D.A.R. E. Program, the Neighborhood
19 Crime Watch Program and weapons confiscated from
20 neighborhood criminals .
21
22 Volunteers and donations for the Silent Auction are
23 needed for Village Fest . Councilmember Fleming has
24 donation forms available to sign up for either of these
25 needs . Kim Bloom should be contacted to schedule
26 volunteer hours .
The next Village Fest meeting is scheduled for Monday,
July 13 at 7 : 15 p .m. in the Community Center .
30
31 Councilmember Fleming has recently received two calls
32 from residents regarding noise from aircraft . She
33 contacted Metropolitan Airports Commission staff member ,
34 Jeff Hamiel , to discuss these complaints .
35
36 Mr. Hamiel advised that even though the airport may be
37 busier than three or four years ago, or before the
38 merger , there are fewer flights each day than previously .
39 He felt there should be no noticeable difference between
40 the noise from 1986 to the present .
41
42 Councilmember Enrooth was of the opinion that the
43 aircraft noise does not appear to be as noticeable as it
44 was in the past .
45
46 Report of Councilmember Marks
47
48 Councilmember Marks also attended the League of Minnesota
49 Cities Annual Conference . He concurred with much of what
50 was said by Councilmembers Wagner and Fleming .
51
52 He attended a workshop where the substances being pumped
into the Mississippi River were discussed .
Representatives of the Department of Natural Resources

6 and the Metropolitan Waste Control Commission
7 participated in the discussion panel . Councilmember Marks
8 discussed Silver Lake water quality with some of them.
9
10 He attended a workshop on Sister Cities and found it very
11 interesting. He noted that some cities have more than one
12 sister city . The City of St . Cloud have more than one
13 sister city . When -a dignitary of any of their sister
14 cities is visiting St . Cloud there is a flag pole located
15 near the City Hall on which that sister city flag is
16 flown as a sign of welcome.
17
18 Referring to the Parade of Flags at the League
19 Conference, he found it very impressive and expressed a
20 wish that St . Anthony had a city flag. The Mayor was
21 reminded that a contest to pick a city flag was held a
22 few years ago and there were no entries .
23
24 The St . Anthony Sister City Committee is holding its
25 final meeting this week to prepare for the visit of
26 seventeen guests from Salo, Finland . The schedule for
activities for them will be finalized before they arrive
10 on July 8th . They leave on July 16th .
30 On July 9th there will be an official welcome to the
31 visitors at 8 : 30 a.m. at the City Hall . On Tuesday, July
32 14th there will be a community picnic at Central Park for
33 the visitors and all residents are encouraged to attend.

35 bring a dessert or an entree:
36
37 The Kiwanis Club is hosting a luncheon for the visitors
38 on July 15th .
39
40 Councilmember Marks advised that all but one of the
41 visitors speak English fluently so there should be no
42 problem in communicating.
43
44 Councilmember Marks related his recent experience in
45 visiting the State maximum security facility in Oak Park
46- Heights . He has a student in the facility and felt that
47 although there are many efforts put forth to rehabilitate
48 the prisoners it is still a miserable place to be .
49
50 Report of Councilmember Enrooth

8 The Mayor sent a thank you letter to the Police
9 Department and its officers for their work on the Open
10 House . He felt it was very well done and very well
11 received by the community .
12
13 On June 3rd the Mayor and Councilmember Wagner met with
14 the two representatives of the City Attorney ' s office and
15 a representative of Springsted, Inc . , the City ' s
16 financial advisors . The purpose of the meeting was to
17 discuss the possibility of a tax increment financing
18 district which would include Apache Plaza and the
19 possibility of a CUB store being located there .
20
21 Three proposals have been received from the Apache
22 Corporation regarding expansion of the shopping center .
23 Funds in the amount of 3 . 9 million dollars is being
24 requested for refurbishing of the shopping center.
25
26 The Mayor felt there would be considerable risk for. the
27 City to advance any funding to this project . A proposal
was made to separate the CUB project from Apache Plaza .
He noted that Apache is nearly ready to present its
30 proposals to the City ' s legal counsel and financial
31 advisors . It had been suggested that CUB purchase its
32 property from Apache .
33
34 Mayor Rana 110 suggested that a Special Council meeting be
35 scheduled for June 30th to discuss the proposed plans and
36 to set a public hearing for this matter . He requested
37 each Councilmember meet with the City Manager regarding
38 any concerns or questions they may have about this
39 project .
40
41 Motion by Marks , second by Wagner to set a Special
42 Council Meeting for June 30 , 1992 at 7 : 00 p.m. for the

7 A. Ordinance No. 1992-04 ; Re : Limit Surface Water Usage on
8 Silver Lake (First Reading)
9
10 At the May 12th meeting, members of the Council requested the
11 City Manager to answer six specific questions regarding the
12 proposed lake ordinance . These questions addressed how many
13 calls have been received over the last three years on lake
14 related issues , effects of motor boats on lake quality, effect
15 of the ordinance on property values , the percent of lakes in
16 the metro area with restrictions , enforcement of the proposed
17 ordinance , and how other cities enforce restricted lake use
18 ordinances .
19
20 In his June 23rd memo, the City Manager advised that three
21 calls have been received and they were all regarding the use
22 of jet skis . Two of these incidences happened in the last
23 month and the violators were not aware of the prohibitions
24 regarding jet skis .
25
26 The Department of Natural Resources has advised motor boat
7 effects are felt in the shallower areas of a body of water.
The County Assessor responded that there is no clearly defined
30 impact on property values which border a lake with
31 restrictions .
32
33 There are 932 lakes in the seven county metro area . Of that ,
34 111 have City or County restrictions which is approximately
35 twelve percent . All Minneapolis lakes have use restriction
36 ordinances which are not included in the 111 .
37
38 A memo from Chief Engstrom stated that he has a major concern
39 with the Police Department ' s ability to enforce those elements
40 of the ordinance pertaining to speed, hours , and direction of
41 travel without the resources to adequately patrol the lake on
42 a routine basis . He felt the Department would rely heavily on
43 citizens to make citizens ' arrests . He recommended that the
44 phrase "excess of five ( 5 ) miles per hour" be deleted from the
45 ordinance as it would be difficult to get a conviction without
46 the use of an accurate clock from a calibrated speedometer or
47 radar gun . The Chief concluded that the Police Department will
48 do its best to cooperate in the enforcement if the ordinance
49 is approved but views it as another burden of nuisance type
50 calls .
51
52 The City Manager advised that lake use ordinances in other
cities are enforced by their respective County Sheriffs . He
is felt that the Ramsey County Sheriff ' s Office would probably
REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING
JUNE 23 , 1992
PAGE 12
4
5
6 not respond . If a resident were to call City Hall they would
7 be referred to the Ramsey County Sheriff . The local police
8 department would respond to life and death emergency
9 situations .
10
11 Doug Jones , 2505 Silver Lane, who supports the ordinance,
12 stated he feels it would not be responsive to nuisance type
13 calls which occur at the public landing at Silver Lake. He
14 also is of the opinion that enforcement would be effective if
15 the ordinance were posted at the public access landing.
16
17 The City Manager received a call from Mrs . Borg who stated her
18 opposition to the ordinance.
19
20 Charles Finn, 2709 Silver Lane, related his recent experience
21 with a large, fastmoving boat on Silver Lake. He advised that
22 a representative from the Hennepin County Sheriff ' s Department
23 responded to his call and resolved the matter. Mr . Finn stated
24 that Minnesota has the second highest number of DWI citations
25 issued .
26
While attending the recent League of Minnesota Cities
Conference, Councilmember Marks discussed the matter of lake
29 violations with representatives of the Metropolitan Waste
30 Control Commission and the Department of Natural Resources .
31 They advised that motorized craft stirs up the bottom of a
32 lake and degrades the water quality . Noting that Silver Lake
33 is very shallow, Councilmember Marks feels there will be
34 severe damage done to the lake if motorized craft are allowed
35 to continue to use it . He noted that the lake is part of the
36 Rice Creek Watershed chain and if it is left alone, it will
37 act as a filtration body of water .
3 l:
39 Councilmember Marks stated that there is considerable risk in
40 using motorized craft on Silver Lake and this activity
41 detracts from its peacefulness . Safety issues are also a
42 concern . He concluded that only non-powered boats should be
43 permitted on the lake.
44
45 Jerry Faust , 4033 Silver Lake Terrace, advised that the
46 Department of Natural Resources uses Silver Lake as a hatchery
47 for a stocking pond. He felt all of the incidences of
48 misconduct that were cited are already covered by state
49 statute and are enforceable . Mr . Faust felt the ordinance
50 would legislate the exception rather than the general rule and
51 that family recreation would be eliminated .
2
Councilmember Wagner inquired if Sections 2 and 3 were
necessary for inclusion in the ordinance . The City Attorney '
1 REGULAR COUNCIL MEETING

• PAGE 13

5
6 responded that they are required by law.
7
8 The City Manager felt some of the problems which stemmed from
9 motorized craft were because new owners did not know how to
10 operate their boats . He felt if the rules were posted the
11 boato.wners would probably be very cooperative.
12
13 Motion by Enrooth, second by Marks to approve the first

25
26 B. Discussion of Proposed Ordinance No . 1992-005, Re :
27 Parkina Restrictions
0 Mayor Ranallo read Ordinance No. 1992-005 . He stated that at
30 a previous Council Meeting many residents who were opposed to
31 the passage of the ordinance stated their opposition . He
32 encouraged any residents at this meeting to also state their
33 positions and noted that no one has publicly spoken in support
34 of the ordinance .
35
36 Councilmember Fleming has received many calls from residents
37 both supportive and opposing the ordinance . She suggested that
38 since this issue was raised by residents a committee of
39 residents be formed to address it . She recommended that the
40 committee have six members who represent different viewpoints
41 and that the committee be facilitated by the City Manager .
42
43 The City Manager noted that the services of Mediation Services
44 are available for situations such as this . Councilmember Marks
45 felt this could be a divisive issue and could result in
46 conflicts between neighbors . Councilmember Fleming was of the
47 opinion that some of the problems have not been addressed
48 because neighbors do not want to negatively affect a very
49 amicable relationship already in place .
50
51 Motion by Wagner , second by Marks to postpone indefinitely the
52 first reading of Ordinance No. 1992-005 and to establish a
Task Force to report back on their findings to the City
Council through the City Manager .

24 gazebo. He stated this was done - before a variance was
25 required. He noted that no time limit is stated on the permit
26 and he was not aware there is a six month time limit on
7 permits . He recommended that the time limit be written on the
face of each permit .
30 He did not complete the work for which the permit was issued .
31 In November he stated this to the Public Works Director who
32 advised him an extension could be granted . He was not advised
33 that the extension must be requested in writing.
34
35 Mr . Jones has contacted all of his neighbors within 350 feet
36 of his property and they all agreed in writing that the
37 proposed placement was acceptable to them.
38
39 He originally intended to request a one month extension , but
40 since the permit expired on December 25 , 1991 , he is
41 requesting an extension of seven months . He expects to
42 complete the project within ten days . The amended plans for
43 the gazebo have resulted in its placement further from the
44 lake and smaller dimensions . Mr . Jones feels this will
45 probably not comply with the new ordinance . This ordinance was
46 approved after Mr . Jones was issued his permit in June of
47 1991 .
48
49 The City Attorney advised that property owners do not have
50 vested rights . in zoning and an ordinance change will affect
51something which has not been built .
52
Noting that the ordinance changes was approved in August of
1991 , Mayor Ranallo stated that the proposed gazebo would have

6 been non-conforming before its construction was even begun .
7 Councilmember Fleming expressed her concerns with the Council
8 approving this request thereby making it retroactive and
9 setting a precedent by extending a permit for seven months .
10
11 The City Attorney cautioned the Council that it would be
12 extending a permit for seven months for a structure prohibited
13 by ordinance.
14
15 Mr . Jones stated he felt he had received a verbal_ extension
16 from the Public Works Director . Councilmember Fleming advised
17 he can still build a gazebo but it must meet ordinance
18 requirements .
19
20 The City Manager advised this structure must be located
21 seventy-five back from the shoreline as mandated by the
22 Department of Natural Resources . The City' s recodification
23 will include the DNR requirements . The gazebo will be viewed
24 as a structure with a roof of a non-pervious surface. The DNR
25 is always concerned by water runoff .
26
Doug Jones felt there would only be a visual impact . He stated
that the landscaping would facilitate water runoff .
29
30 The Mayor felt there is no way for the Council to extend the
31 permit legally.
32
33 Motion by Wagner , second by Ranallo to deny the extension of
34 the permit on the grounds that it is not allowed under the new
35 ordinance.
