MEMORANDUM
DATE: December 4, 1995
TO: Mayor and Councilmembers
FROM: Michael Mornson, City Manager
ITEM: APACHE WELLS AND SAV II STORE
Attached are the comparison numbers for closing vs. not closing Apache Wells
and the SAV II store. The bottom line is that as of September 30, 1995 the City
would be ahead by $27,871 by closing the Wells and in the minus by $13,221
by closing SAV II. That is primarily because SAV II has $72,518 in fixed cost
vs. $49,042.20 for the Wells.
• The Council has at least three options regarding these two sites. Following are
the options in the order staff recommends:
Option Move SAV II (lease expires August, 1996) to the Wells location
(lease expires in 1999). The increase in profit by doing this as of September
30, 1995 would be $69,071. Closing the Wells down early 1996 would give the
Public Works the opportunity to convert the Wells into an off sale operation.
Option 2 Move SAV II to other space in the Apache area or build a free-
standing building and close the Wells. This option is feasible only if First Bank
allows us out of the Wells lease and Apache redevelops the mall.
tion 3. Close both stores and concentrate all efforts on the Stonehouse and
SAV I. This option is only feasible if First Bank allows us out of the Wells
lease.
We will review and discuss these options at the January 2nd Work Session. I
thought I would get this to you early enough so you have time to think about the
two stores. Don Perry and Roger Larson will be at this Work Session to
discuss this issue.

• Dear Mary:
As we discussed on Friday, December 8th, the City of St. Anthny would like First Bank to
offer reductions in the rent at the Apache Wells and at the off-sale liquor store by New
Market. In return for the reduction, the City would continue opening the Wells and keep the
off-sale open on a month-to-month basis.
The City would like the rent of both Apache Wells and the off-sale reduced at a minimum of
50% by January, 1996. As I stated to you on Decembr 8th, I would like an answer by
December 19th.
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

Re: Use of HRA Funds for Redevelopment
• of Residential Lots
Dear Mike:
I have reviewed your memorandum regarding the above, proposing a new
policy for the use of HRA funds to clear and redevelop residential lots in the City. In
your memorandum you have suggested that the developer purchase the property,
clear it and build a new house before any payment of the HRA funds to the
developer. As you know, in previous cases the HRA has acquired the properties and
then has resold them to a developer, subject to a redevelopment agreement, for
purposes of achieving the same result.
As you and I have discussed, there would be some advantages in avoiding the
necessity for the HRA to acquire title to the property. This would avoid legal
expense in acquiring and closing the purchase of the property and in closing on the
sale of the property. It would also avoid having the City or the HRA in the chain of
title to the property, which is advantageous in the event of any environmental
problems or other liabilities with respect to the property.
The one disadvantage might be that the City does not have quite as much
control over the matter because it needs to wait for a developer to acquire the
property on its own. There also may be complications if there are competing buyers.
• That is, the developer probably would like to have an agreement with the HRA
7
DORSEY & WHITNEY
•
Mr. Michael J. Mornson
December 14, 1995
Page 2
before purchasing the property and if there are competing developers, it may be
difficult for the HRA to determine which developer to select.
These are practical considerations that you and the Council need to consider
further. The purpose of this letter will be to outline the legal issues involved and to
address the question of whether there is authority for providing HRA financial
assistance without having the HRA or the City acquire title to the property.
As we discussed earlier, the redevelopment which was done in the City of Big
Lake without acquiring the property was done under the authority of Minnesota
Statutes §469.09 through §469.123, which applies to economic redevelopment.
Redevelopment under these statutes has certain requirements that the property be
"rural" in character or that there be persistent unemployment of certain levels, etc.
These statutes, unfortunately, probably would not apply to St. Anthony.
The redevelopment in St. Anthony would need to occur under the •
provisions of §469.001 to §469.047 relating to housing and redevelopment
authorities. Under §469.001(2) an HRA has authority "to clear and redevelop
blighted areas". Under §469.012(4) an HRA has authority:
"to undertake, prepare, carry out, and operate projects and to provide
for the construction, reconstruction, improvement, extension,
alteration, or repair of any project or part thereof;"
In your memorandum, you refer to Minnesota Statutes §469.028, which sets
forth the necessary findings for a redevelopment plan and project. As you will note,
much of this section deals with the acquisition of property. As you know, in the
typical redevelopment project the land is acquired by the HRA. The question then is
whether we can apply these provisions without acquiring the property. I find no
specific statutes that authorize this, but §469.012, Subd. 1 states as follows:
"An authority shall be a public body corporate and politic and shall
have all of the powers necessary or convenient to carry out the
purposes of sections 469.001 to 469.047,..."
This subdivision goes on to state that the HRH's powers include the power:
"(24) to make expenditures necessary to carry out the purposes of is
sections 469.001 to 469.047;"
i • j S
DoRsEY 8C WHITNEY
•
Mr. Michael J. Mornson
December 14, 1995
Page 3
Based upon the broad wording of this language in Subd. 1, I would conclude that the
HRA does have the authority to provide financial assistance in the manner you
propose, because the payments can be considered "necessary or convenient to carry
out the purposes" of these statutes, and the statutes authorize "expenditures
necessary to carry out the purposes" of these sections. The purposes are the same
whether the HRA acquires the property or it is purchased by the developer.
In the resolutions in which these projects are authorized, the City and the
HRA should include the language in Section 469.012 referred to above, and should
make the findings set forth in §469.017. We should also make sure there is a
"redevelopment plan" approved under §469.027 and that the appropriate findings
are made under §469.028 with respect to the plan and the project.
The conditions and procedures outlined in your memorandum appear to be
appropriate, so long as the approvals and resolutions track the language in the
statutes referred to above.
There may be practical issues in trying to decide among competing developers
for a project, but that is the same process the City and HRA must deal with in
commercial redevelopment in selecting a developer. Similar considerations should
be made as to the financial strength of the developer, the quality of the developer's
work and its track record in completing prior developments.
If you or the Councilmembers have any other questions regarding the policy
or the points discussed in this letter, please let me know.
Ve tr y yours, ^
William R. Soth

MEMORANDUM DRAFT
•
DATE: November 22, 1995
TO: Mayor and Councilmembers
FROM: Michael Mornson, City Manager
ITEM: UPDATE ON HOUSING REDEVELOPMENT POLICY
Enclosed is a proposed policy on providing HRA funding for residential
redevelopment in St. Anthony. Under the new policy, the HRA has the ability
to purchase property or provide HRA funding after a developer purchases the
property.
The benefit of the latter is that there would be no risk for the City. The
developer purchases the property, not the City.
• If you have any questions, please contact me.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: November 22, 1995
TO: Builders and Developers in the City of St. Anthony
FROM: Michael Morrison, City Manager
ITEM: HRA FUNDS FOR REDEVELOPMENT OF RESIDENTIAL
LOTS
• This is to inform you that the City of St. Anthony Housing and Redevelopment Authority
(HRA) has funds available for the redevelopment of residential property. The City can provide
up to $15,000 for the redevelopment of residential property, provided the conditions outlined in
the enclosed St. Anthony HRA policy are met.
The most recent HRA projects have been located at 3111 and 3112 Silver Lake Road. Two
new homes were constructed at a minimum value of$150,000 each. In these cases, the City
purchased the properties and resold them to an interested developer to clear the property and
build two new houses.
In the new policy, the developer would purchase the house, clear the property and build a new
house. If the developer meets the City's policy, up to $15,000 could be received.
Because a public hearing by the City Council is required, if you are interested in applying for
HRA project funds you need to schedule a meeting with City staff.

CITY OF ST. ANTHONY
HOUSING AND REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY DRAFT
• RESIDENTIAL REDEVELOPMENT POLICY
PURPOSE
The purpose of this policy is to increase the property value within the City limits of St.
Anthony and to encourage the continuation of single family ownership.
HOW THE POLICY WORKS
The policy works in two ways:
1. The City can purchase the property and resell it to a developer, as authorized
under Minnesota State Statute 469.028; or
2. The developer can purchase the property and request funds from the Housing and
Redevelopment Authority (HRA) to assist in the redevelopment of the property as
authorized under Minnesota State Statute 469.028.
CONDITIONS
• The developer applies to the HRA for assistance to redevelop property, not to exceed
$15,000.
• The HRA applies to the City Council to proceed with this redevelopment project.
• The City Council sets a public hearing on the request, as required by Minnesota State
Statute 469.028. In addition, the Planning Commission issues a written opinion on the
redevelopment. After the Planning Commission has submitted their opinion and after
the public hearing, the City Council considers the request for HRA funds for the
redevelopment of residential property.
• The existing structure must be considered substandard and be demolished by the
developer.
• A new house must be constructed with a minimum increase in value of 3 times the
existing structure, i.e., if the existing structure is valued at $50,000, the value of the
new house must be at least $150,000.
• The new house must comply with the City's zoning ordinance. (A two car garage is
required and the house must be designed in a way to minimize privacy concerns of
adjacent neighbors.)
• The house must be constructed within one year of the Council's public hearing.
• Depending on financial needs, the City may provide up to $15,000 in redevelopment
assistance, provided all conditions of the City's policy are met. The City will not make
payment until the new house is completed.

Dear Mike,
The following summary shows the revised cost breakdown for the new City Hall & Community
Center. It is based upon Graus Construction's contract amount with the City, $3,151,900
(which includes add alternate #1, kitchen equipment); plus professional fees, $230,000; plus
our cost estimate for the demolition of the existing building, $160,984.* We continue to use the
figure $230,000 in order to be consistent with previous estimates and provide for anticipated
additional professional expenses. We do not expect to exceed this amount, but do anticipate added
fees to include Bakke, Kopp, Ballou & McFarlin's civil engineering work by Joel Maier, and
• added costs to design the council desk and podium, dedication plaque, exterior signage and
payment drop-off box.
1 hope this summary meets your needs. If you have any questions, please call.

Dear Ms. Moore-Sykes:
PUBLIC WATER SUPPLY EMERGENCY AND CONSERVATION PLAN, CITY OF ST. ANTHONY
The Department of Natural Resources (DNR) has completed its review of the City of St. Anthony
"Public Water Supply Plan". The Department supports St. Anthony's long term water supply
planning efforts.
• Attached are specific comments and recommendations which will need to be addressed before the
DNR can approve the St. Anthony "Public Water Supply Plan." The emergency and conservation
portions of the plan are incomplete and/or missing sections. Enclosed are "Enhanced Guidelines
for Developing Emergency and Conservation Plans" which should help you to further develop St.
Anthony's "Public Water Supply Plan" and to address our comments.
Please review the attached comments and submit a revised emergency and conservation plan
within 60 days. An approved water emergency and conservation plan will help expedite future plan
and permit approvals for new wells.
Thank you for your cooperation. If you have any questions, please contact me at (612) 297-2835.
Sincerely,
DIV F WATERS

EMERGENCY AND CONSERVATION PLAN REVIEW-COMMENTS
City of St. Anthony •
PART I. WATER SUPPLY SYSTEM DESCRIPTION AND EVALUATION
The basic information section of the plan is well written and is approved. Please add the
DNR water appropriation permit number to the plan.
A. ANALYSIS OF WATER DEMAND.
Summary of Historic Water Use
This section of the plan is well written and is approved.
Per Capita Water Use
This section is missing from the plan.
Water Demand by Customer Category
Please add a ten year history of unaccounted for water to this section of the plan.
Unaccounted for water losses are listed at 12 percent in 1994. The AWWA recommends no
more than a 10 percent unaccounted for water loss.
Large Volume Customers •

D. ADEQUACY OF SYSTEM TO SUPPLY DEMAND.
This section of the plan is well written and is approved.
E. SUMMARY OF DATA.
The city should further discuss any past or present as well as any anticipated water supply •
problems. Identification of potential problems or system shortfalls now can help to avoid
water supply problems in the future.

PART II. EMERGENCY PLANNING FOR PUBLIC WATER SUPPLIERS
EMERGENCY RESPONSE PROCEDURES
Emergencv telephone list and SOP Manual �• �E , � � �
The city may also wish to consider coordinating emergency response procedures with any
existing county or regional emergency response plans. Additional contacts that may be
important in an emergency include: city utility personnel, mayor, police, fire, sheriff, and/or
county or regional disaster coordinators. We recommend expanding the phone list to
include these personnel.
We recommend that the city adopt standard operating procedures to be followed in an
emergency. These items should then be cross-referenced to the city's overall emergency
response plan. To ensure a quick and appropriate response to a system emergency, we
recommend that the emergency phone list and standard operating procedures be posted
conspicuously at all appropriate water supply system facilities. A detailed standard
operations plan will help to ensure that any emergency situations are dealt with quickly and
in the proper manner. This section will need to be finalized before the Department can
approve the City of St. Anthony's emergency and conservation plan.
• Current Water Sources and Service Area
This section of the plan is well written and is approved.
Procedures for Augmenting Water Supplies
This section of the plan is well written and is approved.
Coniunctive Use of Surface and Ground Water
This section of the plan is well written and is approved.
Alternative Sources of Water
This section of the plan is well written and is approved.
Cl
Demand Reduction Procedures P. V 2nd
This section is missing from the plan. As outlined in the plan guidelines, the city will need to
identify potential demand reductions for all customer categories and the appropriate
measures to achieve speck demand reduction goals. Measures should start as voluntary
and proceed to mandatory as an emergency situation worsens. A detailed investigation of
water savings will make it much easier for the city to allocate water in times of declared water
shortages or emergencies. How will goals of 10, 20 or 50 percent reduction be met?
• The city also should clearly spell out the rationale for its decision making process in the
event water uses must be restricted according to state statutes. How is the city planning on
allocating water among customers during water emergencies? The city can avoid political
2
zz ._
and economic pressures by clearly defining water allocation priorities and demand reduction
measures before an emergency happens. Water users should know what to expect so they •
can prepare for situations in which they must curtail water use.
Procedures for Water Allocation
This section is missing from the plan. The revised plan should include mention of any efforts
by the city to educate customers about water allocation in the event of an emergency. The
priority for allocating water during an emergency is set by Minnesota Statutes.
Triggers
This section is missing from the plan. The triggers in the plan are based on the use of
resource (ie. ground water) levels to establish when demand reduction measures will be
implemented.
Enforcement
This section is missing from the plan. The city should examine enforcement procedures and
penalties for all customer categories and water uses. During a water shortage, categories of
water use other than residential water use may need to be restricted or suspended, and it is
only equitable if enforcement procedures apply to all customers.
01 We recommend that the city adopt a complete ban on sprinkling between 10:00 AM and
6:00 PM on a year round basis. Studies on irrigation demonstrate that much of the water
applied during this time is lost to evaporation. y-�t/ _ •
The plan should indicate what the city currently has for penalties for noncompliance with
mandatory water conservation requirements. A discussion of any planned enforcement
procedures will need to be added to the plan. P�. 3 /SF
Water Supply Protection
This section of the plan is well written and is approved. As presented in the plan guidelines,
discussions regarding water supply protection must include an analysis of resource
monitoring efforts, including water level records and the use of observation wells.
Overall
Overall, the emergency section of the plan is incomplete. We recommend using the
Department's guidelines as an outline for the city's emergency plan. The Department can
not approve the plan as written. -t7) y

Dear Mike:
On behalf of the School District I am requesting school zone, cmcc walk and reduced speed limit
signs be installed on 3rd Avenue in front of the Middle School/High School. This has long been of
concern ern and the issues of speed ana stu ent s etymust be addressed.—
My recommendation is to install signs similar to that which are used by the Columbia Heights
school district on 49th Avenue in front of Highland Elementary and Columbia Heights High School. I
have attached a drawing of the type of signs I would like to see. The specific location would need to be
• discussed.
I envision two signs greeting vehicles from both east and west. The first sign would be a yellow
flashing light indicating a school zone with a reduced speed of 20 miles/hour, when flashing. I have
diagrammed this on the attachment. The second would designate cross-walks with a yellow sign and
arrow pointing to it so the drivers would be aware of the cross-walks location.
I would be more than happy to attend a meeting when this is placed on the agenda.
I am also looking carefully at the Wilshire Park situation at Highcrest which, to me, is another
dangerous spot, but I need some advice as to how this can be addressed as there are two cities involved
and I am not sure as to where crosswalks should be located. Perhaps even the Department of Public
Safety needs to involved in assisting us here.
Again, thanks for your help and let me know if you need additional information.

Commercial and industrial temporary signage is difficult to control with the

they remove the signs before the 30 days.
I recommend that the ordinance should be amended to change the 30 days to 3
days after receiving the violation notice from the City.

MEMO TO: City Managers/City Administrators in Communities
which are Defendants in the Starks and Fields Lawsuits;
Other Members of the MPRS Board of Directors
FROM: Larry Thompson, MPRS Executive Director
SUBJECT: Discussion of Issues Raised in Judge Solum's
November 6th Order for Judgment
The purpose of this memorandum is to summarize discussions of the MFRS •
Executive Committee relative to Judge Solum's order, as:N ell as to update you on
developments since the November 16th meeting of the defendant communities. It
shou`•d be noted that the Execut;ve Committee does not purport to speak for the
defendants, or even for the full MPRS Board of Directors, but at this point it is the
only body which represents any grouping of the defendant communities.
Affirmative Action Plan
Judge Solum's order requires an active recruitment program directed to minorities
a.-d a program by which minorities would be offered CSO or intern positions in the
defendant communities. For purposes of discussion, these issues have beer,gro::ped
under a cor inion affirmative action plan.
The Executive Committee feels that it would be advantageous for as large a group
of communities as possible to participate in any affirmative action efforts. The
format for such participation could take several forms, but one option would be a
separate joint powers organization organized to coordinate and administer such
efforts. The existing MPRS independently could continue to recruit and test
candidates who are eligible for hire acid could continue to assist MPRS members in
their selection processes. -
•
The Executive Committee feels that it is necessary to retain a consultant to assist in
the development of an affirmative action plan, at least in its initial stages. As
discussed on November 16th, a request for proposals has been prepared to
determine which consultants may be interested and available. The Executive
Committee will interview all consultants who express such an interest on Thursday,
November 30th. At that time it will select a consultant for recommendation to those
communities which choose to cooperate in a joint affirmative action effort.
It should be noted that some information must be developed for submission to the
Court by December i�11h. T he E%ecuti v c C ommittee :^-1111 cont.-act .;rth the sl-lcctcd
consultant Qnly to produce such information and only to prepare a comprehensive
proposal for submission to the full group. The Executive Committee will not
commit to any other services.
Minority Hiring Commitment
Judge Solum's order requires a minority hiring commitment by the defendant
• communities, unless these communities are willing to pay a 5300,000 statutory
penalty. The Executive Committee feels that we should attempt to establish a hiring
commitment which is acceptable to Judge Solum. It is the Committee's assumption
that the successful attainment of a minority hiring goal would end the Court's
continuing jurisdiction in this case.
The Executive Committee feels that any hiring commitment must be based upon
both the number of minority applicants who test with the defendant communities
and upon the number of entry-level law enforcement positions which are filled in
these communities. The hiring goal would be the relevant percentage of minority
applicants multiplied by the number of positions which are filled over a given period
of time. The Committee does not feel that a fixed number of minority hirings should
be our goal, nor should our goal be based upon the percentage of minorities in the
metropolitan area. It also is hoped that any hiring goal can be limited to the hires
which occur, and not to retention statistics or to a percentage of officers actually
employed at any point in time.
Allocation of Damages
The Executive Committee hopes that all communities which are involved in this
lawsuit will be able to agree to a formula for the allocation of damages. If this is not
• the case, significant additional expense, confusion and legal action could result.
37 _ 3 -
•
On November 16th representatives of the defendants agreed in principle to an
allocation formula which would divide a portion of the damages on an equal basis
among communities and a portion of the damages based upon each community's
population. The Executive Committee was directed to study this matter further and
to recommend a specific formula to the full group. Additional issues include the
most appropriate method for collecting damages, how to provide for communities
which disagree with an adopted allocation formula, and any role which the Court
may play in this matter.
Possible Appeal
One issue which has not been discussed at any length is the possible appeal of Judge
Solum's order. A decision on appeal does not need to be made at this time, nor is all
of the information available which would be relevant to such a decision.
It is likely that Judge Solum's final order in these lawsuits will be issued shortly
after the first of next year. The defendant communities then would have ninety days
in which to make a decision on whether or not to appeal the final order. At that
time the full amount of damages would be known, and we would have the •
Memorandum of Law to which Judge Solum refers in ids November 6th order.
Additional Issues
An additional issue relative to the affirmative action efforts required in Judge
Solum's order is the status of an individual defendant which chooses not to
participate in a joint affirmative action effort. It is assumed by our attorney that
such a community would have to provide the Court its own minority hiring goal, in
order to avoid all or a portion of the $300,000 statutory penalty. Such a community
also would have to comply with the Court's affirmative action requirements,
although it is quite possible that many communities already have programs that
would qualify in this regard.
A final issue relates to what action should be taken with communities which have
not paid their assessments for legal expenses. One option which has been discussed
is a formal legal claim for the repayment of such costs. The Executive Committee
also may consider the circumstances under which such a community would have to
begin providing its own separate representation in the continuing hearings on this
matter and in future appearances before the Court.

•
PROPOSED ALLOCATION OF DAMAGES
At the last meeting of defendants in the Starks and Fields lawsuits, the MPRS
Executive Committee was directed to prepare a proposal for the allocation of
damages among the defendants. The Committee further was directed to base such
an allocation partly upon an equal "base" fee per defendant and partly upon the
population of each defendant.
The Executive Committee met on December 5th to discuss this matter, among other
issues, and it is recommending the following formula for the allocation of damages:
1. Twenty percent (20%) of the damages would be divided equally among the
defendants;
2. Eighty percent (80%) of the damages would be divided based upon each
• community's population served at the time of the lawsuits.
These lawsuits were initiated in January, 1993, and it is the Executive Committee's
recommendation that the estimated population at that point in time be utilized for
the proposed allocation. It is proposed that Metropolitan Council estimates be
utilized for communities in the metropolitan area and that State Demographer's
estimates be utilized for nonmetropolitan communities. For communities with
service contracts covering other municipalities, the populations of such
municipalities would be included in the computation of population served.
No one knows the total damages in these lawsuits, but the figure of$500,000 has
been used as a "best guess" estimate. If this figure is accurate, the base fee charged
to each defendant would be approximately $2,800 and the fee charged to each
defendant based upon population would be approximately fifty cents per person in
the area served.

Mr. Mike Mornson
City Manager
City of St. Anthony Village
3301 Silver Lake Road N. E.
St. Anthony, MN 55418
Dear Mr. Mornson;
Please accept this letter and the attached resume as my
application for the open position on the St. Anthony Planning
Commission. I believe that my skills and background would be an
asset to the commission and to St. Anthony.
The resume describes my rormal career experience: Administrator
at Encompass, Inc. , an investigative engineering firm involved
in the analysis of building failures and the negotiation and
settlement of construction and development disputes; County
Extension Agent specializing in the development and
implementation of community-based programs; and a Community
• Development officer in the Central American country of Belize.
In performing these duties, I have had extensive contact with
diverse groups of people in both informal and formal meeting
situations. In all of these positions a significant portion of
my responsibilities was to gather and analyze information, often
with the input or legal and technical consultants, to come up
with the best solution for all involved parties. I believe this
would be a valuable asset as a Planning Commission member.
In 1992 I left Encompass with the impending arrival of our second
child. In the period since then, in addition to raising my
family, I have been involved as a volunteer in community
organizations and have provided computer-related consulting
services for small-business clients. Examples of these
activities are services related to the installation of cost-
accounting systems at construction-related firms; serving on the
Board of Directors of a pre-school program for low-income
children funded by a coalition of churches; serving on the
Building Restoration Committee of our church; and my current
involvement with the Advisory Board of the ECFE (Early Childhood
& Family Education) program in St. Anthony.
It is my belief that the Planning Commission plays a pivotal role
in the future of St. Anthony. St. Anthony has a unique set of
circumstances as a small community within a larger metropolitan
• area. The current tax base of St. Anthony needs to be expanded
yy
to reduce the pressure on the residents while the quality of life •
that residents are accustomed to must be continued. A balance
of interests needs to be maintained between the residents,
businesses, and administrative elements to ensure the future of
St. Anthony as an attractive place to live and work. As a
homeowner and parent, these are important issues to me.
I have been impressed with the commitment and integrity of the
city council and administrative staff as they address the many
issues facing them. If selected as a member of the Planning
Commission, I look forward to contributing my experience, time,
and energy in working to support their efforts. ,
