Todd Hubmer, WSB, Inc., will be present for the following items: 5 1. Resolution 00-029 re: Award Construction Bid for 29th Avenue NE Street 6 Improvements. 7 Cavanaugh invited Todd Hubmer; WSB & Associates, to address the Council. 8 Mr. Hubmer mentioned that a letter had been previously sent to the local homeowners 9 announcing that the City Council would be discussing bids for the 29th Avenue street 10 reconstruction project. 11 Mr. Hubmer stated that he was present at the Council meeting to discuss awarding a bid 12 for the project, and continued by stating that bids were received on April 5, 2000, and had 13 been held pending the outcome of the legislative session. Consequently,the lowest bidder was Barbarossa and Sons, Inc., with a bid of $2,049,838.66. 16 Sparks mentioned that in the letter sent to the homeowners,there was mention of a 17 special assessment towards the homeowners. She requested clarification from Mr. 18 Hubmer of that assessment. 19 Mr. Hubmer responded that the special assessment would be a one-time $400.00 assess- 20 ment charge that would be billed in increments. 21 Motion by Hodson to approve Resolution 00-029, wherein it is resolved by the City 22 Council of the City of St. Anthony: 23 1. That the Mayor and City Manager are hereby a authorized and directed to 24 enter into a contract with Barbarossa and Sons, Inc. in the amount of 25 $2,049,838.66 in the name of the City of St. Anthony, Minnesota for the 26 improvement outlined in the above referenced project according to the plans and 27 specifications, therefore, approved by the City Council and on file in the office of 28 the City Clerk. 29 2. The Engineer, WSB & Associates, Inc. is hereby authorized and directed o to return forthwith to all bidders the deposits made with their bids, except that the deposits of the successful bidder and the next two lowest bidders shall be retained 32 until a contract has been signed. City Council Regular Meeting Minutes May 23, 2000 • Page 4 1 Motion carried unanimously. 2 2. Resolution 00-047 re: Approve Change Order Relating to Sidewalk, Lighting, and 3 Landscape Improvements for 29th Avenue NE. 4 Mr. Hubmer reviewed for the Council that the change order came about because of the 5 decision to add sidewalks to the street reconstruction project. 6 Horst inquired about the type of decorative lighting to be used. Mr. Hubmer responded 7 that the specifics of the lighting would be discussed-at a-later point in the project. How- 8 ever, he did anticipate state aid funding would cover a type of lighting called "shoebox" 9 lighting. These are medium-priced, and a reasonable level of lighting, but that the City 10 would be responsible for any costs incurred over the original cost of a"shoebox"type of 11 lighting. 12 Hodson inquired how the shoebox lighting would compare with what is currently being 13 utilized on Silver Lake Road by New Brighton. Mr. Hubmer responded that he believed 14 it was the same type of shoebox lighting he was referring to earlier. Mornson reminded the Council that the figures being discussed now with regard to this project only covered sidewalks and landscaping. The lighting issue would be covered un- 17 der a separate contract negotiated with NSP. 18 Horst confirmed that Mr. Hubmer would be talking with the residents on Thursday, May 19 25, 2000 regarding the width of the sidewalks, boulevard, and related issues. Mr. 20 Hubmer said the sidewalk would be a topic of discussion for Thursday, but that much of 21 that had already been discussed at previous meetings. 22 Additionally, Mr. Hubmer stated that the general consensus of the residents had 23 facilitated a new layout of the plan and he proceeded to present and display that plan for 24 the Council. In short, the boulevard would be consistent from Stinson to Roosevelt,but 25 then at Roosevelt, the sidewalk would attach back to the curb because there are a number 26 of homes close to the street along that stretch. Furthermore, Mr. Hubmer stated that he 27 would be receiving additional details and would go over those with the residents at the 28 meeting on May 25 because one resident is particularly concerned with the proximity of 29 the sidewalk. 30 Mr. Hubmer stated that a four-foot sidewalk had been considered until it was determined 31 that the City crews would inadvertently tear up the turf on each side of the sidewalk when 32 plowing and maintaining the sidewalks.. A five-foot sidewalk was decided upon for those 46 reasons and to allow for passing of residents. 34 Motion by Hodson to approve Resolution 00-047,wherein the City Council of the City of City Council Regular Meeting Minutes May 23, 2000 • Page 5 I St. Anthony approves Change Order No. 1 to the Contract Document relating to im- 2 provements to 29th Avenue NE. 3 Motion carried unanimously. 4 3. Resolution 00-046 re: Adopt Amendment to Policy on Decorative Lighting on 5 MSA Designated Streets. 6 Mr. Hubmer referred the Council's attention to his-May 17, 2000 letter wherein a recom- 7 mendation was made to modify the City's existing street lighting policy and procedures 8 to include No. 6 (see below) under the City Policy section on page 1 of the Policies and 9 Procedures. 10 Motion by Horst to approve Resolution 00-046, wherein the City Council of the City of 11 St. Anthony amends the Street Lighting Policy and Procedures to include the following 12 City policy as Policy No. 6: 13 "6. The City will require that upon complete reconstruction of municipal state aid streets where pedestrian walkways are provided, decorative lighting shall be re- quired as part of these improvements. Decorative lighting shall confirm with the 16 recommendations of the City Council after review of the lighting plan by the City 17 Planning Commission and City Parks Commission. Installation of decorative 18 lighting will not be assessed to residents along municipal state aid streets." 19 Motion carried unanimously. 20 Sparks inquired about the date to begin construction on the 29th Avenue Street project. Mr. 21 Hubmer responded possibly next week and that is one of the reasons for the residents' meeting 22 on Thursday, May 25, 2000. 23 Sparks mentioned that the size of the pipes for Harding Street have not yet been determined and 24 the City is limiting the pipe size option by approving the above Resolution. Thuesen offered that 25 this issue had been researched extensively and how it related to the stormwater issue. Cavanaugh 26 agreed that there has not been any information provided that would prove that the Harding proj- 27 ect would not work as planned and felt that the Council needed to proceed and view how the 28 project unfolded. 29 Thuesen reminded the Council that the City has worked closely with an engineering firm and had 30 numerous meetings and discussions about the proper and best way to proceed. Cavanaugh expressed his understanding regarding Spark's concerns, and stated that the schedule 32 would be closely watched and her questions answered. City Council Regular Meeting Minutes May 23, 2000 • . Page 6 1 4. Resolution 00-045 re: Accept Feasibility Study and Authorize Plans and 2 Specifications for the Harding Lift Station Project. 3 Mr. Hubmer directed the Council's attention to the Feasibility Report as presented by 4 WSB & Associates. 5 By way of background, Mr. Hubmer stated that in 1999, a study of the sanitary sewer 6 system was completed to evaluate the existing system and identify possible modifications 7 to improve the operation and reduce the frequency of wastewater,backups. The study 8 noted that the limited capacity of the Harding Street lift station was a contributing factor 9 to the backup problem in the vicinity of 37th Avenue and Harding Street. However, 10 simply increasing the pump capacity would aggravate the downstream problems so a 11 more detailed study of the Harding Street/37th situation was authorized. 12 Consequently, there are residents in the drainage area that do have sanitary sewer backup 13 problems with the existing station because it cannot pump the water quickly enough. In 14 addition, in the Southern portion of the City, there are sanitary sewer backup problems as 15 well. QOne,possible option is the rerouting of the Harding Lift Station into the City of 17 Minneapolis. This would be beneficial to both cities as St. Anthony currently diverts into 18 Minneapolis south of 33rd Avenue. Minneapolis has had difficulties with that system 19 and is anxious to have St. Anthony move the diversion into another area. It is a win-win 20 situation because the City can increase capacity of the lift station and alleviate some 21 problems for Minneapolis as well. 22 Mr. Hubmer continued by providing some options for the Council to consider: 23 1. Lift Station Option 1. The existing lift station would be abandoned and a new 24 structure would be constructed at the same location. The controls would be located in a 25 metal control cabinet that is mounted on the ground surface near the wet well. The antici- 26 pated cost would be approximately $100,000. 27 2. Lift Station Option 2. All of the equipment in the existing dry well would be 28 removed as well as the upper portion of the steel dry well. The lower shell of the existing 29 dry well would remain in place. In short, the existing structure would be rehabilitated. 30 The anticipated cost would be approximately $70,000. 31 3. Forcemain Option 1. The forcemain would run under 37th Avenue NE to the north right-of way, then west along the right-of-way toward Stinson Boulevard. Just east 46 of the intersection with Stinson, the line would be directed diagonally-under 37th toward 34 the existing manhole in the intersection. The total project cost associated with this option City Council Regular Meeting Minutes May 23, 2000 • Page 7 1 is anticipated to be about$167,000. This includes a 10% contingency factor and a 25% 2 legal, engineering, and administrative costs. 3 4. Forcemain Option 2. This option is similar to Option 1 above except that the 4 forcemain would turn south at Roosevelt Avenue to avoid the difficult Stinson Boulevard 5 intersection. All of the pipe would be installed using directional boring techniques to 6 minimize surface disruption. The total project cost would be approximately $146,000. 7 8 5. Forcemain Option 3. This option would direct the forcemain south on Harding 9 Street to 36th Avenue and west on 36th to Edwards Street. The total project cost would 10 be approximately $141,000. 11 Mr. Hubmer stated that the recommendation of WSB & Associates would be Option 2 to 12 upgrade the existing lift station, and Option 3 for the forcemain. 13 Motion by Hodson to approve Resolution 00-045, wherein the City Council of the City of 14 St. Anthony: 1. Accepts the Feasibility Report for the Harding Street Lift Station and Forcemain Improvement Project; 17 2. Directs WSB & Associates, Inc. to prepare final plans and specifications to com- 18 plete the recommended improvements as outlined in the Feasibility Report, which 19 recommended improvements are Option 2 to upgrade the existing lift station, and 20 Option 3 for the forcemain. 21 Motion carried unanimously.. 22 B. Resolution 00-042 re: Call for Sale of General Obligation State Aid Street Bonds. 23 Mayor Cavanaugh introduced Mr. Jerry Shannon,Vice President of Springsted, and invited him 24 to address the Council. Mr. Shannon stated that the Council would be considering $1,610,000 of 25 General Obligation Storm Sewer Revenue Bonds, Series 2000A, and $950,000 of General 26 Obligation State-Aid Street bonds, Series 2000B. 27 Mr. Shannon reviewed the details of both bonding issues and requested that Tuesday, June 13, 28 2000 would be the date that the Council would set to take bids on both issues. Bids would be 29 taken at 12:00 noon at the Springsted office. Between now and then, Springsted would finalize 30 the prospectus (which details the issue and provides information about the financial and socio- 31 position of the City as well as the ability to meet debt payments on the bonds). Addi- tionally, Springsted would also make a rating application to Moody's Investment Service. City Council Regular Meeting Minutes May 23, 2000 • Page 8 1 Hodson noted that there should be a date adjustment on both pages 44 and 45 of the agenda 2 packets, in Section 3. Instead of the date reading"May 23, 2000",the date should read "June 13, 3 2000". Mr. Shannon agreed to ensure that change is made. 4 Cavanaugh.pointed out that Resolution 00-043 does not state the amount of the bond and 5 requested that the amount of$1,610,000 be added to the Resolution. Mr. Shannon agreed to en- 6 sure that addition is made. 7 Motion by Horst to approve Resolution 00-042, a Resolution-Calling for the Sale of General 8 Obligation State-Aid Street Bonds, Series 2000B.,.with the following modification: 9 1. The date of May 23, 2000 will be replaced with June 13, 2000 in Section 3. 10 Motion carried unanimously. 11 C. Resolution 00-043 re: Call for Sale of General Obligation Storm Sewer Revenue Bonds. 12 Motion by Horst to approve Resolution 00-043, a Resolution Calling for the Sale of General Obligation Storm Sewer Revenue Bonds, Series 2000A, with the following modifications: 14 1. The amount of$1,610,000 will be added to Section 1 of the Resolution; and 15 2. The date of May 23, 2000 will be replaced with June 13, 2000 in Section 3. 16 17 D. Ordinance 2000-002 re: Obtaining Criminal History Data on Prospective City Emplo, 18 (2nd Reading). 19 Cavanaugh suggested that the Council suspend the third reading and.move forward with the 20 adoption of the Ordinance. 21 Motion by Hodson to waive the third reading of Ordinance 2000-002, and to approve Ordinance 22 2000-002, an Ordinance Relating to Obtaining Criminal History Data, Amending Section 300.04 23 of the 1993 St. Anthony Code of Ordinances. 24 Motion carried unanimously. 25 X. REPORTS FROM COMMISSIONS AND STAFF. 26 A. Planning Commission Meeting= May 16, 2000. 1. Ordinance 2000-006 re: Amendment to the Ordinance relating to Planned Unit 28 Development(1 st reading). City Council Regular Meeting Minutes May 23, 2000 • Page 9 1 Mayor Cavanaugh introduced Randy Stille, Planning Commissioner, and invited him to 2 address the Council. Mr. Stille stated that the Planning Commission has been working 3 diligently regarding the best route for Apache Plaza. In that respect, John Shardlow, with 4 the firm of DSU, was retained by the City to assist in the plans and redevelopment of 5 Apache Plaza. Ordinance No. 2000-002 has been drafted with the input of the Planning 6 Commission, City Attorney William Soth, and DSU. 7 Mr. Stille invited John Shardlow to address the Council. Mr. Shardlow provided a brief 8 overview of the PUD for the community and audience. The PU,D ordinance which is 9 being proposed would replace the existing PUD section in the City Code. The existing 10 requirements limits the amount of commercial to 20%. 11 Furthermore, the new commercial mixed-use designation would be a separate floating 12 district that could be applied for anywhere in the community. Mr. Shardlow continued by 13 stating that PUDs need to be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. Consequently, the 14 change that has been recommended will go to the Metropolitan Council to create the new 15 commercial mixed-use district. Within that area,there are currently a number of different 16 land uses. In that respect, Mr. Shardlow presented a sketch depicting the different areas 0 of land uses. 18 Mr. Shardlow continued his presentation by giving a brief overview of the differences 19 between a PUD and regular zoning. In essence, Mr. Shardlow stated that the PUD allows 20 for flexibility from setbacks and other restrictions provided the City has reviewed a plan. 21 Some believe that a PUD gives developers Carte Blanche, but that is not true. The City 22 would have the option to vary from the plan, such as saving trees, etc. 23 Hodson acknowledged that considerable amount of time that has been spent by City 24 Manager Michael Morrison, Assistant City Manager Spencer Isom, the Planning 25 Commission, and City Attorney Bill Soth in researching the PUD issue. 26 Sparks inquired about the incorporation of performance standards into the PUD. Mr. 27 Shardlow responded that there are always underlying performance standards, but the City 28 can custom-design a zoning district, and incorporate all the exhibits when relying on 29 making an approval. For example, any exhibits submitted by the applicant that are 30 relevant to the City's ultimate decision, can be incorporated into the plan and recorded. 31 Cavanaugh inquired if water quality would be part of the PUD discussion with Hillcrest. 32 Mr. Shardlow stated it would be and that Hillcrest has dealt with water quality issues 33 before, or at least Hillcrest's counsel has dealt with those issues. • Cavanaugh thanked Randy Stille and John Shardlow for their attendance and 35 presentation.

He asked the Councilmembers to look for the form in the near future. 22 XI. REPORTS FROM COUNCILMEMBERS. 23 Horst did not have a report. 24 Hodson stated that some residents concerned with the water quality issue on Silver Lake had 25 contacted him. The residents would like the Council to consider a 15-20 year plan and a longer- 26 term approach to providing correction to the water quality problem. 27 Mornson offered that a response would be sent to the homeowners around the Silver Lake area 28 alerting them to the fact that the City is considering options regarding the issue. Thuesen reported that he attended a Communities Advisory Council meeting. Additionally, Thuesen reported that a new member has recently been designated to the Parks Commission, but 31 currently stands as a non-voting position. It has been suggested that the Council consider City Council Regular Meeting Minutes May 23, 2000 • Page 11 1 making that particular position a voting position and Thuesen would like the opportunity to 2 discuss this in further detail at another regular Council meeting or worksession. 3 Cavanaugh-suggested-that-Thuesen-speak-with City-Manager-Michael-Momson-about-putting 4 that issue on the agenda for a Council meeting. 5 Sparks reported that she attended a meeting on the Community Prevention Coalition for Safe and 6 Affordable Housing. This organization is putting together a calendar of events for youth over the 7 summer. 8 Sparks mentioned that she had provided a memo to City Manager Michael Mornson and copied 9 the Council regarding consideration of a communication task force to draft a plan. Sparks had as 10 a reference a copy of a plan that was drafted a few years ago. She will provide the Council with 11 a copy of the plan and discuss the same in the future. 12 Cavanaugh encouraged Sparks to do the research in this issue and provide that information to the 13 Council. He believed it would be beneficial to review this matter and provide some structure. Cavanaugh reported that the worksession held on May 15, 2000 during the day was a productive 01 worksession. Additionally, Cavanaugh encouraged the Councilmembers to attend the League 16 Conference coming up in June. 17 Cavanaugh reported that he had attended the Communities Prevention Coalition meeting on Safe 18 and Affordable Housing and was impressed to see how many youth were participating in the 19 planning.
