Whereas, In 1872, J. Sterling Morton proposed to the Nebraska Board of
Agriculture that a special day be set aside for the planting of trees,
and
Whereas, this holiday, called Arbor Day, was first observed with the planting of more
than a million trees in Nebraska, and
Whereas, Arbor Day is now observed throughout the nation and the world, and
Whereas, trees can reduce the erosion of our precious topsoil by wind and
water, cut heating and cooling costs, moderate the temperature, clean the air,
produce life-giving oxygen, and provide habitat for wildlife, and
Whereas, trees are a renewable resource giving us paper, wood for our homes,
fuel for our fires and countless other wood products, and
Whereas, trees in our city increase property values, enhance the economic vitality of
business areas, and beautify our community, and
Whereas, trees, wherever they are planted, are a source of joy and spiritual
renewal.
Now, Therefore, I, , Mayor of the City of
, do hereby proclaim
, as
In the City of , and I urge all
citizens to celebrate Arbor Day and to support efforts to protect our
trees and woodlands, and
Further, I urge all citizens to plant trees to gladden the heart and promote the well-being
of this and future generations.

IV. PUBLIC HEARING 6
7
A. Resolution 16-036 a Resolution Relating to Property Tax Abatement; Granting the 8
Abatement. 9
10
Mayor Faust opened the public hearing at 7:03 p.m. 11
12
Ms. Stacie Kvilvang from Ehlers & Associates summarized the bonds before the Council that 13
will be used to finance water quality and flood improvements to Mirror Pond, the City’s regional 14
storm water pond, and complete nearly 1.5 miles of new sidewalk construction and ADA 15
upgrades at eight intersections to improve pedestrian safety. 16
17
Ms. Kvilvang stated overall, the total project costs are approximately $2,975,000. It was noted 18
the City will receive a $1,142,000 grant from the Rice Creek Watershed District and the City will 19
contribute approximately $400,000 from other City funds towards the project. The bonds have 20
been sized in the anticipation the City will receive HSIP funds in a couple years. The annual tax 21
levy will be $100,000 with a bond size of $1,495,000. 22
23
Ms. Kvilvang referenced a map depicting the project area and explained as part of the public 24
hearing process and tax abatement bond is to identify the parcels benefiting from the 25
improvements. She described the parcels where the City’s portion of taxes will be abated and 26
explained the City has the authority under Minnesota Statute 469 to issue abatement bonds for 27
the projects. One requirement to do so, is to hold a public hearing on the amount of the 28
abatement to be granted, identify the properties from which they will abate the City’s portion of 29
the taxes, and describe the public purpose for granting the abatement. 30
31
Ms. Kvilvang reviewed the properties surrounding Mirror Lake that the City will be abating its 32
portion of the taxes as listed in her April 12, 2016, memorandum to City Manager Casey. The 33
public purpose in granting the abatement is that the City expects the benefits to the City of the 34
abatement to at least equal or exceed the costs to the City and that granting the abatement is in 35
the public interest. 36
37
Councilmember Stille stated the City did this once before for Emerald Park and this exercise is 38
due to the type of bonds being implemented and does not mean people will not have to pay more 39
or less taxes than if traditional bonds had been issued. Ms. Kvilvang confirmed that is correct 40
and explained tax abatement, which is similar to the typical 429 bond process, but in this case the 41
statute requires identification of the abated parcels. 42
43
Mayor Faust asked the audience if anyone would like to address this issue. 44
45
There being no public input, Mayor Faust closed the public hearing at 7:06 p.m. 46

VI. GENERAL BUSINESS OF COUNCIL. 9
10
A. Presentation by City Engineer, Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, and Minnesota 11
Department of Health. 12
13
City Engineer Hubmer introduced the team who is working with City staff to address the issue of 14
1,4 Dioxane that was identified by the Minnesota Health Department last year. He described the 15
meetings held with this team over the last year as they are regulators of the quality of water in 16
the ground that effects St. Anthony as well as setting the limits for contaminates that can be in 17
the drinking water supply. 18
19
Gary Krueger, Supervisor of Remediation Division with the Minnesota Pollution Control 20
Agency (MPCA), stated this Division deals with the clean up of contaminated sites. He provided 21
a brief overview on the status of the TCAAP and ongoing cleanup of that site. Mr. Krueger 22
presented a TCAAP site map that identified the cleanup and disposal areas. He explained this 23
was one of the first Super Fund sites listed so there has been significant cleanup for the future 24
redevelopment of the property. It was noted the groundwater containment system treats and 25
discharges water to an on-site gravel pit; however, it does not remove 1,4 Dioxane. The Army 26
has studied the area of the plume on and off the site and considered treatment for removal of the 27
1,4 Dioxane for the outside wells. He noted the size of the Dioxan plume, which took a lot of 28
years to create, has been reduced because of the pumping going on but it will take years to better 29
contain it. Mr. Krueger reviewed the points of the Army’s off-site monitoring and described the 30
extent of 1,4 Dioxane off the site. He noted the 1,4 Dioxane levels in the New Brighton and St. 31
Anthony wells and stated the Army has been investigating the extent of the Dioxan plume, what 32
can be done about it, and options for additional treating for the municipal drinking water supply. 33
34
Jim Kelly, Environmental Health Division at the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH), 35
explained how this issue was found through a nation wide effort to address unregulated 36
contaminates in the nation’s drinking water supply through testing every three to five years. Mr. 37
Kelly stated as these are unregulated contaminates, the MDH has developed Guidance Values 38
but compliance is voluntary. He stated this periodic testing is conducted on water supplies of 39
communities serving over 10,000 residents and if found, residents are usually notified through 40
that city’s consumer confidence report. 41
42
Mr. Kelly explained what is meant by an ‘emerging contaminant,’ noting there is also not a 43
health standard or regulation but often times have been evaluated by the State so if they are 44
found, guidance can be provided. He described the past use of 1,4 Dioxane, usually to stabilize 45
chlorinated solvents, where it has been found, and how it enters the environment and stays in 46
11
water at low levels. In Minnesota, 1,4 Dioxane has been detected in several municipal water 1
supplies including New Brighton, St. Anthony, and Fridley. As the Minnesota Department of 2
Health has not been granted the authority to regulate this chemical by the Environmental 3
Protection Agency (EPA), it created and propagated Health Based Guidance Values for 1,4 4
Dioxane starting three years ago. 5
6
Mr. Kelly stressed that the levels found in St. Anthony’s public drinking water system are small 7
and do not exceed the Guidance Value that has been developed by the MDH. He credited City 8
staff for operating the City’s water system in a matter that has kept those levels low to provide 9
clean, safe drinking water. Mr. Kelly explained why the MDH set the guidance of 1,4 Dioxane 10
in drinking water at 1 part per billion and indicated there have never been any cases of liver 11
cancer in people linked to 1,4 Dioxane. He explained that while the existing levels of 1,4 12
Dioxane in municipal water supplies is not an immediate health concern, when drinking that 13
water daily over a lifetime the exposure can very slightly increase the likelihood of cancer. Mr. 14
Kelly stated in Minnesota, that is taken seriously so very protective guidance was established to 15
assure that does not happen. 16
17
Mr. Kelly stated the MDH first reviewed 1,4 Dioxane in 2011 and adopted the guidance as a rule 18
in 2013. He stressed that the risk of developing cancer from exposure to 1,4 Dioxane at the 19
amounts found in the City’s drinking water is very low, 1 in 100,000, and the use of water in 20
other activities will also not create increased risk for health problems. Mr. Kelly commended St. 21
Anthony for being proactive in addressing the 1,4 Dioxane issue. He explained that carbon 22
filters and other household systems are not very effective in removing this chemical so treatment 23
at the source will be the most effective remedy. 24
25
Michael Fix, United States Army, stated the Army is appreciative of the professional and 26
cooperative working relationship exhibited by the City in working through this problem. He 27
stated the City’s issue is also very evident in the Army’s environmental program, noting that 28
Pentagon staff have been here to visit and are closely monitoring the process. Mr. Fix stated the 29
Army intends to be supportive of the City so it can proceed to protect its population. 30
31
Mayor Faust stated his appreciation to the team, noting the City is proceeding with caution and 32
he appreciates the professionalism shown towards the City. He stated the City’s word is its bond 33
and the City will continue to take steps to ally any public concerns and assure they have clean 34
drinking water. 35
36
Mr. Hubmer described the work done over the past year and provided a PowerPoint presentation 37
on 1,4 Dioxane; project coordination with the US Army, MPCA and MDH; location City wells; 38
and, levels of Dioxane found in each City well. He explained that Well 4 is not being used as the 39
level of 1,4 Dioxane has risen from .9 to 1.4-1.5 parts per billion. Mr. Hubmer noted by 40
blending water from Wells 3 and 5, the level of 1,4 Dioxane is well below the guidance of 1 part 41
per billion. That is the water currently being delivered to St. Anthony. 42
43
Mayor Faust stated it is important the public realizes there are two arms-length transitions 44
occurring: the State’s tests and the City’s tests that are completely separate. Mr. Hubmer 45
12
concurred and stated they take the credibility of testing seriously and test results are released to 1
the public. 2
3
Mr. Hubmer presented five options for addressing 1,4 Dioxane: 1) blend City wells, 2) construct 4
deeper wells into the Mt. Simon-Hinckley aquifer, 3) purchase water from Minneapolis, 4) 5
purchase water from St. Paul Regional Water Services, or 5) implement treatment of 1,4 6
Dioxane. He explained why staff focused on Options 3 and 5 as being the most viable long term. 7
With regard to Option 2, Mr. Hubmer stated the City’s wells are in the Prairie Du Chien-Jordan 8
aquifer and reviewed the advantages and disadvantages of using the deeper Mt. Simon-Hinckley 9
aquifer including the need to treat to remove radium and obtain a DNR permit. The 20-year cost 10
to drill three new wells into that deeper aquifer is estimated at $18 million including 11
construction, financing, interest, maintenance, and production costs. 12
13
Mr. Hubmer reviewed the advantages and disadvantages of Option 3 to purchase water from 14
Minneapolis including loss of control on water costs. The 20-year cost to construct the system 15
required to use water from Minneapolis is estimated at $35 million including capital, finance, 16
interest, maintenance, and production costs. 17
18
Mr. Hubmer then reviewed the advantages and disadvantages of Option 5 to implement 19
treatment including significant up front capital expenditure. The 20-year cost to treat 1,4 20
Dioxane is estimated at $16.6 million including capital costs, financing, interest, maintenance, 21
and production costs. 22
23
Mr. Hubmer compared the costs of Options 2, 3, and 5 and displayed concept drawings and 24
colored renderings to expand the treatment plant. He stated staff is asking the Council to 25
consider authorization to proceed with final design. If approved, the schedule would be to accept 26
the feasibility report, order plans, and advertise for bids on April 12, receive bids and award the 27
contract in August 2016, begin construction in October 2016, and start up in August 2017. 28
29
Mayor Faust asked Mr. Fix to inform the Army that when the City does system enhancements, 30
it’s on ‘their dime’ and they will not try to have others pay that cost. He stated the City will be 31
honest and fair in how it approaches this issue, which has already been articulated by City staff 32
but he also wanted to make that clear. 33
34
Councilmember Stille noted Option 5 is not solely to treat 1,4 Dioxane and asked how that may 35
be of benefit. Mr. Hubmer stated this option would construct an advanced system for treatment 36
of emerging contaminants and adding it to the City’s current treatment system will result in a 37
robust advanced system that treats a wide suite of known and emerging pollutants. 38
39
Councilmember Stille asked how much hydrogen peroxide will be needed for this level of 40
treatment. Greg Johnson, WSB, stated the concentration of peroxide is very low, less than 50 41
part per billion. 42
43
Mayor Faust opened the floor to the public for comment or question. 44
45
13
Jerry Smith, 3629 Silver Lake Road, noted the plumes are not static and asked about the ability 1
of the proposed system to treat higher concentrations should that occur and potential added costs 2
to do so. Mr. Hubmer confirmed the system will be able to treat higher concentrations of 1,4 3
Dioxane. 4
5
Mayor Faust stated the City is being proactive in addressing 1,4 Dioxane and the system can 6
probably be ‘dialed up’ should the concentration of 1,4 Dioxane increase. Mr. Krueger stated 7
New Brighton is undergoing a similar process to treat its municipal water supply, which should 8
keep water in that area from increasing in concentrations of 1,4 Dioxane. 9
10
B. Resolution 16-037 a Resolution Receiving Feasibility Report, Ordering Plans and 11
Specifications, and Authorizing the Advertisement of Bids for the Advanced Oxidation 12
Water Treatment Facility. 13
14
Mr. Hubmer stated the resolution before the Council receives the feasibility report, orders plans, 15
and advertisement for bids to expand the water treatment facility. Mayor Faust stated the 16
resolution is for Option 5 as it was found there are too many unknowns in the other four options 17
and expedience is needed. 18
19
Motion by Councilmember Jenson, seconded by Councilmember Brever, to adopt Resolution 16-20
037 a Resolution Receiving Feasibility Report, Ordering Plans and Specifications, and 21
Authorizing the Advertisement of Bids, for the Advanced Oxidation Water Treatment Facility. 22
23
Mayor Faust stated this is a difficult issue and the Council is fortunate to have the confidence of 24
the public behind this decision. Councilmember Jenson concurred and stated the importance of 25
providing a safe drinking supply. 26
27
Motion carried 4-0. 28
29
C. Resolution 16-038; St. Anthony Water Restrictions 30
31
City Manager Casey reviewed the resolution with the Council that would impose water 32
restrictions. He indicated the City is considering implementing short-term water conservation 33
measures to limit the amount of water that is drained from the aquifer during summer months. 34
Staff recommends water restrictions to conserve water and potentially slow down the movement 35
of Dioxane. He reviewed the date and time restrictions that, if approved, would be in effect until 36
further notice and encouraged residents to view the City’s website for additional information. 37
38
Motion by Councilmember Brever, seconded by Councilmember Stille, to adopt Resolution 16-39
038 a Resolution Imposing Water Restrictions. 40
41
Councilmember Stille explained this is a trial that will be monitored to determine if further 42
restrictions are warranted. 43
44
Mayor Faust noted the Metropolitan Council indicated that water usage increases 2.4 times 45
during summer months and it increases 1.5 times in St. Anthony, showing a level of 46
14
conservation. He stated he views this restriction as a conservation method to assure the wise use 1
of water, a quintessential need. Mayor Faust asked residents to learn more about water 2
conservation and the impact of watering lawns. 3
4
Motion carried 4-0. 5
6
Mayor Faust extended the City’s heartfelt thanks and appreciation to the US Army, MPCA and MDH 7
staff for their cooperation and assured them the City will do likewise without equivocation. 8
9
D. St. Anthony Finance Department Annual Report 10
11
Finance Director Rueckert provided a PowerPoint presentation of the City’s 2015 annual report, 12
noting the mission statement remains unchanged. She presented the Finance Department’s 13
organizational chart and described the work tasks and accomplishments of each core staff 14
member. Ms. Rueckert reviewed the finance activity unique to 2015 including hiring of a staff 15
member, complying with the Affordable Care Act, building official transition with the City New 16
Brighton, creating a community profile, and technological advances. 17
18
Ms. Rueckert described the results of long-term financial activity to refinance the 2006 TIF 19
revenue bonds and rebase use of liquor profits. She listed the agencies to which finance staff 20
provides support and activities performed. 21
22
Councilmember Brever thanked Ms. Rueckert for the report, noting it was a clever way to get 23
statistics and details out to the public on what the Finance Department has done for the City. Ms. 24
Rueckert noted the finance staff is the ‘heart of what makes this engine go.’ 25
26
Councilmember Jenson complimented Ms. Rueckert on the booklet of information she compiled 27
and encouraged the public to review it in more detail to learn about the services provided. 28
29
Mayor Faust referenced the high level of activity performed, noting all functions are found to be 30
flawless when the annual audit is performed. He stated people forget all of the issues that have 31
taken on a different life (i.e., 1,4 Dioxane, Affordable Care Act) which is beyond just paying the 32
City’s bills. In most cases finance staff is the first interaction with the public, making it terribly 33
important. Mayor Faust stated over the years, he has always heard positive reports on that first 34
impression, for which the department should be proud. With regard to the Community Profile, 35
he noted it is for current and new residents and an economic development tools for businesses. 36
Mayor Faust congratulated Ms. Rueckert on those accomplishments and asked her to pass on the 37
Council’s deepest thanks and appreciation to the Finance Department for the hard work they do. 38
39
VII. REPORTS FROM CITY MANAGER AND COUNCIL MEMBERS. 40
41
City Manager Casey stated a lot of information was heard tonight relating to the 1,4 Dioxane 42
issue and brought people’s attention to the City’s website that contains a lot of information on 43
water conservation and will be updated with regular progress reports and the water restrictions. 44
45
15
Mr. Casey recommended residents also look to the City’s website for updated information on the 1
2016 road projects, restrictions, and detours. He asked residents to be patient as these needed 2
street projects are constructed. 3
4
Councilmember Jenson stated he attended the March 29, 2016, joint meeting with the District 22 5
School Board. 6
7
Councilmember Stille stated he attended the joint meeting with the School Board on March 29, 8
2016. On April 7, he attended the Community Services Advisory meeting, where Julianne 9
Hunter indicated there may not be a VillageFest parade this year unless a Chair volunteers. He 10
noted VillageFest is a separate community-driven organization that is not managed by the City 11
and encouraged interested residents to call her. On April 11, 2016, he attended the 12
Comprehensive Plan Visioning Committee meeting and brainstorming session along with 13
Councilmember Brever that Planner Breanne Rothstein managed. 14
15
Councilmember Brever stated she also attended joint meeting of School Board on March 29, 16
2016. This past Sunday, she attended a Sister City meeting where they continue to coordinate 17
for a musical piece to be performed by the St. Anthony orchestra in November of 2017. 18
Councilmember Brever stated she also attended the Comprehensive Plan Visioning Session and 19
complimented Planner Rothstein for bringing people together to get their views on how to 20
strengthen the Village. She stated there will be more opportunities for input and asked residents 21
to view the City’s website for that information. 22
23

REQUEST FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION
Meeting Date: April 26, 2016
Consent Agenda- A resolution authorizing the transfer closing the stormwater improvement fund and
establishing the stormwater utility fund effective 12/31/2015
OVERVIEW:
In front of you this evening is a resolution to close the Stormwater Improvement Fund and essentially
re-establish the fund’s activity within an enterprise fund. The Stormwater Utility Fund will use
stormwater charges to support stormwater improvements and repairs. Stormwater improvements made
as part of the annual street program will become assets of the enterprise fund. Therefore the investment
in stormwater infrastructure will be clearly reflected through the use of an enterprise fund.
