STAFF REPORT
DATE: March 19, 1996
TO: Mayor and Councilmembers
FROM: Michael Mornson, City Manager
• ITEM: BARR ENGINEERING PROPOSAL
The attached proposal from Barr Engineering analyzes the advantages and
disadvantages of a partial implementation of a storm water project in District
#6. The cost of the study is $8,800. Funding for this study can come out of
the City's Storm Water Fund. As of December 31, 1995, that fund has
$180,000.

Re: Drainage District 6 Stormwater Modeling
Dear Mayor and City Council:
This letter will outline the scope of work necessary to evaluate whether there is value in partial
implementation of the storm drainage system recommended in the July 1992 report, Stormwater
Management Analysis, District 6 Drainage Basin. It is my understanding that the City Council wishes
to better estimate the costs and benefits associated with development of a stormwater storage basin in
the trailer park south of 27th Avenue N.E. and east of Stinson Boulevard. Because a partial
implementation scenario was not modeled in 1992, additional analysis will be necessary to establish
O these costs and benefits. The scope of work which is necessary is described below.
• Define Scope of Improvements: To development the storage basin will require acquisition of
right-of-way and excavation of the storage basin, improvements to the storm sewer system on
Wilson Street including special connections to existing storm sewers in the alley south of 27th
Avenue N.E., and possible adjustments to existing sanitary sewer and water systems.
— Stormwater Storage Basin: Alternative grading plans will be considered to determine an
upper and lower limit of property requirements for developing storage. The alternative
stormwater storage designs will be described, and construction costs for storage will be
estimated.
— Storm Sewer Improvements: The primary advantage to constructing this pond will be
reduced flooding along St. Anthony Boulevard and in the area of Pahl Avenue and Wilson
Street. In order to achieve these benefits, upgrading the storm sewer system in Wilson
Avenue will be necessary. The preliminary layout of this improvement, including the pond
inlet, pond outlet, and special connections to nearby existing storm sewers will be
determined. Cost will be estimated for the proposed storm sewer improvements.
— Utility Improvements: Barr will evaluate whether utility adjustments will be necessary in
order to upgrade the storm sewer in Wilson Street. It is possible that the new storm sewer
will interfere with existing sanitary sewer and water facilities and modifications to the
sewer and water facilities will be necessary to accommodate the storm sewer. The cost for
these utility adjustments will be estimated.
• Determine Benefits of Improvements: The runoff models which were used to develop the 1992
recommendations will be used as the basis for a model of the proposed improvements. The
O Barr computer hydrograph runoff program will be used to determine design flow and the timing
of flows within the storm sewer system. The SWAMP model will be used to evaluate storm
sewer system performance because downstream flood levels have significant impact on the
3

capacity of the storm sewer system in this area. Barr will prepare a comparison table and
illustration to clearly depict the benefits which might be gained from the proposed work.
• Prepare Report: Barr will summarize its analysis and conclusions in a letter report with
supporting tables and figures. I anticipate that the results of the modeling may not clearly
indicate a recommended course of action. In this event, Barr will prepare a summary table
which identifies the advantages and disadvantages associated with alternative courses of action
available to the Council. Barr will present the results of the report at a Council work session
and at a public information meeting.
Barr proposes to perform this work and prepare the report and attend the meetings for a lump sum of
$8,800. We anticipate that the report can be delivered within 30 days of Council approval and Notice
to Proceed. I expect to be the project manager because of my familiarity with the previous study and
previous communications with the Council and staff. Most of the work will be performed by others
under my direct supervision.
If you have any questions about this proposal please contact me at 832-2814. If this proposal meets
with your approval, please countersign one copy of this letter and return it to me for our files.
Sincerely,
BARR ENGINEERING CO.

STAFF REPORT
DATE: February 9, 1996
TO: Mayor and Councilmembers
FROM: Michael Mornson, City Manager
ITEM: VACANT LOT ADJACENT TO CUSTOM INDUSTRIAL
PRODUCTS
Ken Solie and Jerry Cowan, two local developers, are requesting up to $233,000 in TIF to
assist them in the construction of a 30,000 square foot commercial facility. This facility
would serve two tenants who would provide a minimum of 30 jobs. The facility would have a
value of$1.2 million and a tax bill of$60,000 per year, compared to the estimated taxes of
$5,000. This $60,000 per year is approximately the same amount of taxes that the Custom
Industrial Products building is bringing in. In addition, they will also need a public hearing
for subdivision and one for an expectant variance request.
• Policy Impact
The City's policy states that the City can provide up to $10,000 in assistance for each
$100,000 increase in value and $5,000 for every job created or retained.
$1.2 million in value = $120,000
30 jobs 150.000
$270,000
The City has approximately $500,000 in the fund balance from the Chandler and Kenzie TIF
districts. I would propose the City use those funds for this redevelopment, as we did for
American Monarch and the two townhouse projects. The benefits of this are: (1) no bond
sale; (2) no TIF district created; (3) no LGA penalty; and, most importantly, (4) the City,
School and County benefit immediately.
To be able to provide the funding for this development, the City will need to conduct a public
hearing to amend our budget. I have attached the activities that are currently permitted to
utilize TIF funds. Since we are going through the hearing, we may want to add or delete to
the plan.
• PIease let me know within the next 30 days, if there are any changes you would like to see in
the TIP pian.

As you requested, this letter answers some of your questions regarding our January cost
estimate to add 900 s.f. of storage to the north end of the gym. The estimate we prepared totals
$43,266. It is important to keep in mind that the estimate is based on actual material take-offs
and not a cost per square foot figure. It includes professional fees for structural, electrical and
mechanical engineers as well as our office. Contractor's mark-ups are also included.
• You asked for a cost per square foot breakdown of the project at this time. I've included the
figures below, however, I caution that a comparison between costs per square foot is
problematic. For example, the storage area does not involve as many trades as the whole
building (i.e. no casework, windows, folding partitions, interior finishes, etc.). Also, the
addition has only two new exterior walls. As a result, the cost per square foot is much lower
for the storage area than for the whole building.
Total building cost including change orders 1-3 & fees: $3,409,300
Cost per square foot (gross): $ 82
Cost estimate for additional storage including fees: $ 43, 266
Cost per square foot (gross): $ 43
1 hope I've answered your questions. Give me a call if you need any more information.
Sincerely,
Elizabeth Herrmann

Re: St. Anthony City Hall & Community Center
Dear Mike,
As you requested, we're begun to look at the changes necessary and costs associated with adding a
running track to the gym.
I've talked with Duane Grace, the City of St. Anthony's code consultant, and he has agreed that an
elevator will not be required to access a mezzanine-level track. This makes it possible to add a
5' to 6' wide suspended running track around the perimeter of the gym by expanding the gym
• 10' to the east. A single, fully code-compliant stair will be required to access the track from
below--a circular stair is not permitted. By expanding only to the east, we can use the
structural steel joists already fabricated for the gym. (The cost to redesign and fabricate all
new gym structure would make the addition of a track prohibitive.)
The design of the track entails suspending it from the ceiling joists. We've talked with our
structural engineers about whether the joists will handle the extra load, and they have indicated
that further analysis will be required. Their initial guess is that some additional joists or
modifications to the existing joists may be necessary.
Our mechanical engineers have indicated that the air handling equipment will adequately serve
the additional gym arca. H.:w.ever, soma redesign of ti c4 sprint:Jer system b8 neceS-Sary to
add sprinkler heads required for fire protection above the mezzanine.
Lighting levels in the gym will also need to be increased. Fixtures will be added both above and
below the mezzanine level.
The contruction schedule may be impacted by the track addition since design, coordination,
change order processing, shop drawing work, fabrication and construction will take some time.

At
SAt this point, further analysis on the part of our engineers is required before we can prepare a
meaningful cost estimate. Before incurring additional design and estimating costs, I thought you
may want to have a better sense of what is involved. If you would like us to proceed and to
authorize our engineers to proceed with the necessary calculations required to determine the
eAieiii ui additionai*suu.;iure, equipmeni: and iigiiiing'required, tet me know. Al this time, if we
receive your go ahead, we will not fully design the track but make only the determinations
needed for a cost estimate. This way, the City will incur fewer costs if you decide not to go ahead
with the addition. Give me a call if you have any questions.
Sincerely,

Dear Mike,
We've done some research on asbestos abatement, and based on what we've been told, there are
several approaches the City can take to abating any hazardous materials in the existing building.
One approach is to hire an asbestos consulting firm who will test for hazardous materials only,
and will not abate. Minneapolis Public Schools, for example, typically will hire an asbestos
consultant to determine the extent of hazardous material, then will hire an abatement contractor
on a second contract to remove the material. The following consultants were recommeded to us
by some people we've worked with at Minneapolis Public Schools.
• Concept Environmental 730-7886 Dave Gutterrud
Institute for Environmental Assessment 535-7721 Jeff Carlson
Legends Technical Services 642-1150 Keith Georgie or Sharol Secora
Several other consulting firms have contacted our office to express their interest in the work as
well.
A second approach is to hire an asbestos removal firm who will subcontract the testing work,
and subsequently remove the material. The advantage to this approach is that the City will have
a single contract. Remcon is one abatement firm that comes recommended from the Minneapolis
Public Housing Authority.
In ei!hcr approach, i! is prudent. to get several bids, since costs can vary dramatically. If you
would like our office to contact the firms, as we've done with other testing companies, let me
know. I'll be glad to have them send proposals to you.
Sincerely,
Elizabeth Herrmann

DATE: March 13, 1996
TO: Michael Morrison, City Manager
FROM: Kim Moore-Sykes, Management Assistant
ITEM: Telecommunications Wiring & Equipment
I have been meeting with telecommunications vendors and have asked each of them to
submit a rough estimate of what it would cost the City to provide wiring and telephone
equipment. So far, I have received two estimates and expect a third shortly.
1. AT&T: Total Estimate - $39,372.00 (includes trade-in of $3,515 for current system)
Includes:
2 Public Pay Phones
"Merlin Legend System" Telephones
Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS)
• 2. Apollo Communications: Total Estimate - $32,909.40
Includes:
Fujitsu, Series 3 Telephone System
Class of Service/Class of Restriction - allows/restricts access for
individual users. For example, phones in public areas could be
programmed to restrict long distance usage.
System Call Park - Calls can be "parked" and retrieved from any
station. If call is parked longer than a predetermined time, then the
call goes back to attendant.
Transfer Stations - If the attendant needs to be away from the station,
all incoming calls can be transferred to an alternate station.
3. Wunderlich - Malec Eng., Inc.: Total Estimate - Not yet available.
Includes:
Can provide CAT 5 level of cabling that is equivalent to fiber optics
cabling; functionally equivalent to ISDN and will allow 100 MBPS
(faster transmission and support of information). The cable is copper
shielded pairs; individually shielded; and overall shield on all pairs.
They do not provide telephone hardware but can assist in selecting
equipment to our needs and specifications.

The following proposed applications that are in common for the two telephone vendors:
Wirin - for voice and data applications, i.e. telephones and
computers. It can be installed in heating, ventilation, and air
conditioning ducts. This cabling is capable of supporting
changing/upgrading technology to varying degrees, depending on the
vendor's recommendation.
Voice Mail.
Direct Inward Dial that allows calls to ring directly to an individual,
bypassing the receptionist.
Customer Training; Additional Training as needed.
Remote Maintenance.
ISDN - Integrated Services Digital Networking. Allows for the
upgrading to future telecommunications technologies.
Automated Attendant Service (part of the Voice Mail system) -
Provides separated menus/messages for day, night, and events.
In speaking with Liz Herrmann of Williams/O'Brien about the reason why this wasn't
originally part of the contract, she recollected a few reasons. She said that the one reason
that stands out in her memory was that the school district's technology package includes
wiring and cabling for the Community Services portion of the new building. •
Recommendation:
I would recommend Apollo Communications as providers of the telephone equipment
because the Fujitsu Series 3 telephone system has features that would very useful and
efficient in providing service to residents and non-residents. This is true of the basic design
of the telephone itself as well as the technological capabilities.
I would also recommend having Wunderlich and Malec Eng., Inc. provide the wiring and
cabling because of the close working relationship that they have with Williams/O'Brien,
they understand the needs and requirements of the new City Hall/Community Services
facility.
These are personal recommendations based on the discussions at various meetings that I
had with each of these vendors. I understand that the final selection will be as the result of
a bidding process. Wally Sharp of Wunderlich and Malec Eng., Inc. indicated that RFP's
should go out in May with the actual wiring and cabling ready for installation sometime in
late August or September.

Landlord shall be and remain unpaid in whole or in part for more than fifteen
(15) days after notice from the Landlord; (2) Tenant shall violate or default any
of the other covenants, agreements, stipulations, or conditions herein, and such
violation or default shall continue for a period of thirty (30) days after written
notice from Landlord of such violation or default or, if the default may not
reasonably be cured within a thirty (30) day period, then within such additional
time as may be reasonably necessary to cure the default so long as Tenant is
making diligent efforts to cure the default; or (3) if Tenant shall be adjudged
bankrupt or file a petition in bankruptcy or otherwise indicates insolvency or
becomes insolvent; then it shall be optional for Landlord to declare this Lease
forfeited and the said term ended, and to re-enter said premises, with or without
,{ process of law, using such force as may be necessary to remove all persons or
chattels therefrom, and Landlord shall not be liable for damage by reason of
such re-entry or forfeiture; but notwithstanding re-entry by Landlord or forfeiture
or termination of this Lease, the liability of Tenant for the rent provided for
herein shall not be relinquished or extinguished for the balance of the term of
this Lease. Each party to this Lease will pay, in addition to the rentals and other
sums agreed to be paid hereunder, such additional sums as the court may

Such subordination is on the condition that Tenant's right of possession of the
leased premises as provided in this Lease will not be distributed by the
mortgagee or ground lessor so long as Tenant is not in default under this Lease.
If the interest of Landlord is transferred to any party by reason of foreclosure
of a mortgage or cancellation of a ground lease, or by delivery of a deed in lieu
of foreclosure or cancellation, Tenant will immediately and automatically attorn
to such party. Tenant agrees that upon notification by Landlord or any
mortgagee or ground Landlord of the election of a mortgagee or ground lessor
to subordinate its interest in the leased premises to this Lease, this Lease will
become prior to the mortgage or ground lease.

Mr. Mike Miller
St. Anthony Health Center/Chandler Place
3700 Foss Road
St. Anthony, MN 55418
Dear Mike:
• There are a number of issues that will need to be addressed regarding the proposed
addition to the St. Anthony Health Center. Many of these issues will not be discussed at
the Planning Commission meeting on March 19th but will probably be discussed at a
future Planning Commission meeting.
As we discussed Thursday, it is important for you to contact the Rice Creek Watershed
District as soon as you can. I understand that because of the snow your engineer is not
able to determine the grade and drainage, but not contacting them may result in a delay in
the construction of your project. Also, the City cannot issue a building permit until you
have received a permit from the Rice Creek Watershed District.
Lot Coverage. The City Ordinance calls for lot coverage to be no more than 50%. It
appears from the plans that you provided me that there is more impervious surfaces than
green space. Would you provide me with the square footages of the buildings and the
proposed addition? I think the figure that we discussed earlier is for paved surfaces only,
i.e., sidewalks and parking areas. (See Section 1630.05, Subd. 8, Lot Coverage.)
Rear Yard Setback. It appears that the proposed addition is 20 feet from the property line.
The City Ordinance states that there is to be no less than 40 feet from the edge of the
building to the property line (Section 1630.05, Subd. 6, Rear Yard . Unless the footprint of
the proposed additional is revised, you may need to request a rear yard setback variance.
• Parking. There are several parking issues that will need to be addressed. The first issue is
the number of spaces available for on-site parking. The plan that you recently submitted
shows approximately 107 combined on-site parking spaces for both lots. Copies of updated
easements show that parking will be allowed on either lot for the proposed addition .
64
Page 2
•
These spaces need to be at least 9'x19', (Section 1650.05, Subd. 1, (a), On-Site Par"in and
the drawing indicates the spaces are 18' long and no width indicated.
Also, I will need to know the amount of parking that is available in the underground
parking area, the number of resident rooms/apartments and the number of employees on
the largest shift for both facilities. This information is required so that I may provide it to
the Planning Commission in a staff report.
Parking on the Setback. Just so that you are aware, the Ordinance does not allow for
parking within a 20 foot setback from the property line, (Section 1650.05, Subd. 2, (b),
Prohibited On-Site Parkine). On the Proposed Property Division plan, it looks as if
proposed parking will be in the setback off of the Foss Road side. In reviewing the
parking plan submitted on Friday, March 8, I find that the 20 foot setback is observed.
Illegal Drive Opening. As with parking on the setback, the Proposed Property Division
plan shows an opening to Foss Road that appears to be 45 feet wide. As before, in
reviewing the parking plan submitted, the drive opening appears to be approximately 28
feet wide as is required by the City Ordinance, (Section 1650.06, Curb Cuts.).
As you are also aware, the proposed location of the pavilion may possibly be an issue
because of front yard setback requirements of the City Ordinance. •
In summary, there are three and possibly four issues that will have to be addressed either
by revising the plans of the proposed addition or by variances. As Larry and I have
indicated to you at a meeting in February, variances will not be easy to get. We are
available to meet with you to discuss any of the above-mentioned issues or additional issues
that occur as you plans for the proposed addition move forward.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding the information in this letter or the
process for either the subdivision of land or the variance request, please give me a call at
789-8881.

Dear Mr. Momson:
• In February,the Hennepin County Board adopted a resolution on housing policy. Included in
the resolution were proposed revisions to the allocation of Community Development Block
Grant(CDBG) funds for fiscal years 1997 and beyond. A copy of the resolution is enclosed.
The policy direction and proposed revisions to the CDBG program resulted from information
presented at meetings with the communities and county staff recommendations. The goal of
the revisions is to promote program efficiencies and assist communities in addressing housing
and community development needs. The information on the CDBG program revisions was
shared with staff from each city and several meetings were scheduled in March to discuss
these changes. Enclosed is a summary of the discussion that occurred at those meetings.
On March 21, 1996,the Hennepin County Board is scheduled to discuss in committee,the
proposed CDBG allocation and give preliminary approval to the 1997-99 Joint Cooperation
Agreement. This agreement is required for communities to participate in the Urban Hennepin
County CDBG program and establishes shared powers to carry out housing and community
development activities. The agreement will be transmitted to all 43 participating communities
in April.

CDBG ALLOCATION
SUMMARY OF COMMUNITY RESPONSE
MARCH 8, 1996
All 43 suburban Hennepin County participating communities were provided a copy of the board resolution(96-2-
150)pertaining to county housing policy and a letter explaining the proposed revisions in the allocation of CDBG
funds. In addition, three meetings were scheduled to solicit community input on the proposed revision. Each
of these meetings was conducted in suburban locations (Corcoran, Minnetonka and Orono).
The overall response was favorable. Larger communities prefer the annual planning allocation over a
competitive process. Many smaller communities realize the benefits of pooling funds and having the opportunity
to access larger funding amounts. There are mixed comments on how the CDBG resources should be tied to the
• Livable Communities Act. Hennepin County staff has arranged a meeting with staff from the Metropolitan
Council to get clarification on the use of CDBG funds to meet local housing goals and cluster planning
applications.
Discussions included the revised method of allocation,project selection process and countywide objectives. The
objectives set forth were as follows:
• Stabilize neighborhoods and strengthen the tax base.
• Maintain and provide affordable housing.
• Provide services that address the needs of low-income citizens and promote self sufficiency.
These objectives would establish funding priorities which restrict the use of CDBG funds in 1997. Specifically,
general planning activities would no longer be eligible for funding and citywide removal of architectural barriers
would no longer be funded.
Larger Communities
Support annual planning allocation.
Support CDBG funding priorities. If communities do not utilize their planning allocation to address these
priorities, funds should be made available to other cities.
•
Recognize the need to support countywide, fair housing activities.
g PP � � g
Encourage Hennepin County to pursue initiatives that enhance CDBG priorities.
�DBG Allocation Summary
March 8, 1996
Page 2
•
Smaller Communities
Generally support the concept of pooling funds. There were discussions of creating two funding
pools. The communities surrounding Lake Minnetonka expressed the greatest interest in two pools.
Communities strongly support that only the smaller communities compete for these funds.
Some communities suggested that the threshold be increased to $75,000 to assure a larger funding
pool.
Support CDBG funding priorities.
Communities support continued funding for social service(15 percent of the pool)and single family
rehabilitation.
Due to staff limitations in staffing and expertise, communities prefer an uncomplicated application
and review process. County staff assistance is needed in identifying projects which meet county
priorities and in formulating funding proposals.
A selection committee consisting of staff from the smaller communities should formulate a funding
recommendation to the county board.
Minimum project size should be $25,000.
•
Assistance from Hennepin County staff is needed in addressing Livable Communities goals and
planning. Many communities are interested in cluster planning to address the livable community
goals. In addition, communities are looking to form partnerships with Hennepin County to address
issues involving the Metropolitan Council.
Summary
The cooperation agreement establishes the broad parameters for the Hennepin County CDBG
program. The most significant change will deal with the overall allocation process.
Funding priorities are addressed in the Consolidated Plan and the allocation of resources are part of
the county's annual action plan. Details of the project selection process can be developed over the
next year.
The Hennepin County Board policy and community discussions have formulated the framework for
the future Hennepin County CDBG program. The board ultimately approves the allocation and use
of CDBG funding.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: March 26, 1996
TO: Mayor and Councilmembers
FROM: Michael Mornson, City Manager
ITEM: TELECOMMUNICATION UPDATE
The telecommunication full court press has hit St. Anthony!
We have a proposal from American Portable Telecom to enter into a lease for
antenna space on our water tower for $4,500 per year. This same company has
stated to me that they are talking with Jerry Cowan about placing one 120 foot
antenna on his property in lieu of the water tower site. Fortunately for us, the
City has an ordinance height restriction on antennas of 75 feet.
• I would like to know if the Council would like to lease the water towner space
to this company. I do not want to spend a lot of time on negotiations and the
lease, if you are not interested. I sent the lease to Tom Creighton, the attorney
for the North Suburban Cable Commission (we are a member) for his review. I
also spoke with New Brighton, Arden Hills, Minnetonka, etc. They are
currently leasing or will be leasing their water towers, but for $10,000 per year.
Two other issues on telecommunications that we should look at are right-of-way
usage costs (currently $50) and antenna costs (currently $15). The League of
Minnesota Cities and North Suburban Cable Commission recommend we charge
as much as we can.
In addition, you should be advised of the following when contemplating a policy
and fee structure:
► The City has the right to say no on water towers.
► The City does not have the right to deny use of public right-of-ways. In
fact, a bill is being discussed in the legislature to allow the Public
Utilities Commission to determine right-of-way usage and fees, etc.
• This is being promoted by AT&T and U.S. West.

To: Municipal Clients and Interested Individuals
From: Thomas D. Creighton
Re: Attached Personal Communication Systems (PCS) Lease and Option Agreements
Date: March 7, 1996
In response to numerous requests from our municipal telecommunications clients from around the
country, we have reviewed over fifty(50) existing leases for tower facilities in municipalities. We
have prepared the attached sample lease and option agreement which we believe incorporates the
best provisions of the leases we have reviewed.
The option agreement is included since some providers wish to secure an "option" until such time
as they can conduct the necessary site location appropriateness technology studies.
The lease includes the provision for two kinds of rent and one additional kind of "in-kind"
remuneration. The rent provisions include a base rent either calculated on a monthly or annual basis,
and a percentage of gross revenue at such time as such calculations would exceed the base rent. We
are aware that some providers will certainly object to a percentage of gross revenues both from a
philosophical perspective and from a practical argument that such revenues cannot be attributed to
one antenna. Such disputes will need to be negotiated between the city and the provider. The
municipal philosophical argument is that if profits are made from the location of the antenna such
that the base rent is woefully inadequate, the city should share in the success of the antenna.
We have ranges of rents charged for such antennae by other cities but have not included them in the
attached documents. Different situations and locations may well dictate different rates. We have
determined that cities should either negotiate a rental which is in line with other such facilities in
town (recognizing that the PCS systems probably have far greater revenue potential than some
existing leaseholders in your community), or contact us, and we can provide you under separate
0
cover the range of rents charged by other cities.
Memo - 2 - March 7, 1996 •
PLEASE note also that some cities have negotiated numerous"in-kind"rental payments such as free
cellular service for the city, free capacity on the network, and free paging services and associated
equipment for all of these things. We can also provide you with a summary of such "in-kind"
information upon request.

RE: Proposed PCS Installation on Saint Anthony water tower located at Ciy Amin Offices
Dear Mr. Hamer:
Please accept this letter as a proposal from APT(American Portable Telecom)to enter into a Lease
Agreement for communication and antenna space at the referenced location. APT has retained the
services of TEA Group Incorporated for the purposes of acquiring sites for the installation and
operation of PCS (Personal Communication Services)radio equipment.-,
APT, a subsidiary of Telephone and Data Systems, Inc. was awarded the PCS license by the FCC
for the Minneapolis/St. Paul area. I have enclosed a brochure which describes, in greater detail,
APT and its operation.
• APT engineers have determined that the Saint Anthony Water Tower appears to be suitable for the
location of one of our communication sites. At this time, the typical APT equipment installation
consists of nine (9) directional panel antennas (77" high x 6" wide x 1.5" deep) which operate
within the 1.9 ghz to 2.2 ghz radio frequency range. Additionally, up to four (4) equipment
cabinets (each approximately 5' high x 3' wide x 3' deep), may need to be installed at the site
(initially, the site will need one equipment cabinet). For access, the equipment cabinets will need
to be placed in an area approximately 10' x 25' in size. The area beneath or adjacent to the tower
will do nicely. Typically, these weather-proof, self-contained equipment cabinets are connected to
the antennas by 1 5/8" cable(each antenna requires one cable run). The communication equipment
requires 100 amp, 220 volt, single phase electrical service.
With your input and approval,we will design and engineer a site specific layout for this location.
APT is prepared to make the following offer to you:
TERM: An initial lease term of five(5)years, including three(3) 6-year extension periods.
RENT: 4,500.00 annually, paid in advance.
ESCALATION'S: A 15% increase for each 6-year extension period.
OTHER: All cost associated with the communications site will be paid for by APT.

TO: Michael Morrison, City Manager
FROM: Kim Moore-Sykes, Management Assistant
ITEM: Proposed Sick Leave Donation Ordinance Amendment
Because of two long-term employees out for an extended period of time, it has been
suggested by Staff to develop a sick leave donation policy. The following is a proposed
addition to the Personnel Policy of the City Ordinance.
Proposed Ordinance Addition:
300.10 Sick Leave, Subd. 9. Donation of Sick Leave to Employees with Serious
Medical Problems. Employees may voluntarily donate sick leave time in hour
increments, which can be converted to use by employees facing serious medical
is
problems or extended time off due to serious medical problems and who have no
accumulated leave time available, (i.e., vacation, sick or compensatory time). The
use of this donated sick leave must be approved by the Department Head and the
City Manager and will be converted to the receiving employee's paid hourly rate.
This subdivision does not include temporary or seasonal positions or unionized
employees who have a sick pool that is already established.

TO: Michael Morrison, City Manager
FROM: Kim Moore-Sykes, Management Assistant
ITEM: Health Insurance Coverage to Employees Taking Early
Retirement
Because the City has some Staff who may be eligible for early retirement, the question of
continued health care insurance came up. The Minnesota Statutes state that a former
employee of a local government must be allowed to participate indefinitely in the
employer-sponsored hospital, medical, and dental insurance group that the employee
participated in immediately before retirement if:
1. the employee is receiving a disability benefit; or
2. an annuity from a Minnesota public pension plan (i.e., PERA). •
The former employee will be able to participate until the age of 65. The City can require
the former employee to contribute or pay the complete premium payment, but the former
employee must be allowed to be pooled in the same group as the active employees.
Dependent coverage is available to the former employee only if the former employee
participated in dependent coverage immediately before leaving the City's employ. The
former employee should put in writing how much insurance coverage he/she wants.
If a former employee does not elect to continue to participate in the City's health
insurance program, the former employee does not have the right to reenter the employer's
group insurance program.

Attn: Kim

St. Anthony, MN 55418
Enclosed is the application for a variance on lots 8 and 10 of the Village Commons.
3925-8 and 3925-10 Fordham Drive.
Our land surveyor just informed us that the hearth room could not be included as part of
• the home on lots 8 and 10. Unfortunately since this is a major part of the home, we feel it
would be difficult if not impossible to'sell these homes without the hearth room.
The hearth room is a 14 x 12 room that has a gas fireplace with built in cabinetry
surrounding it, including a built in tv cabinet above the fireplace. This room is like a
family room/sitting room area. Without the hearth room there is only one living area, that
being the living room and there would be no area for the fireplace.
Therefore, a variance on lots 8 and 10 is being requested, these are two of the nicest lots
we have and not including the hearth room would make these lots difficult if not
impossible to sell. We have included this hearth room as part of the twinhome since we
knew we would be building them, and to go back and tell people they can't be part of
their home would definitely keep them from buying.

Bruce A.Nedegaard

Dear Kim,
Nedegaard Construction is requesting a variance on Outlot C of the Village Commons.
Originally it was agreed that we receive part of Schroeder's property and in turn he was to
receive part of Outlot D however,he has decided to remodel his home and is no longer
• willing to give the portion needed to build a residential home on Outlot C. Currently the
lot is 67.51 feet instead of 75 feet. If we do not get a variance a home can't be built on
this lot.

Tracy Printing, Inc.
Subject: Acquisition of City Owned Property
To Expand Tracy Printing Production Facilities
Dear Sirs:
Since 1971, Tracy Printing and its principals have been active participants in the
quality of life in St. Anthony. Tracy Printing, over the past 25 years of its existence has
gro«n from a four person operation in 1971 to a twenty-five person operation in 1996.
Throughout these 25 years, Tracy's customer base has continued to grow by
• performing quality work at a fair price. With the increased customer base, this organization
has needed to expand:
Phase I, 1991: Acquisition of all property at 3813 Chandler Drive. (From body
shop to Production Area.
Phase II, 1995: Enhancement of existing facilities to make present facility more
productive, loading docks and warehouse space for raw materials.
Phase III, 1997: Expand existing production area by building a 35' x 130' single
story, block construction, adjacent to north side of City Maintenance compound.
1,-n or lei-for Tracy Printing to implement the final phase of its expansion; it is
requesting the City of St. Anthony to sell a parcel of non-revenue land 25' x 220'. The land
in question; resides between the south side of Tracy Printing and the north side of the City-
owned maintenance compound.
Additionally, if the city will sell the land at a fair price, Tracy would also require a
zero-lot land variance to build the aforementioned expansion. Tracy Printing is looking for
no other support from the City. It will seek its own financing through conventional means.
We must expand our current facility. We have explored a second story to existing
facilities but the cost is prohibitive. Our only option to continue servicing our customers
from this location is the addition of Phase III.
Please consider this request to enhance St. Anthony's commercial property base
and permit Tracy Printing its growth.
Please see attached preliminary drawing.

• MEMORANDUM
DATE: March 21, 1996
TO: Michael Morrison, City Manager
FROM: Kim Moore-Sykes, Management Assistant
ITEM: Gas Tanks
The following is a summary and explanation of a proposal that Larry received from Zahl
Equipment Co. detailing what it will cost to remove and replace the current gas tanks.
Larry is suggesting that the City contract only for the removal of all four tanks and the
replacement of the two larger ones. The City will be responsible for removing the asphalt
and concrete that surrounds the tanks provided that the area has not been contaminated.
Should there be any contaminated soil, Zahl will remove it for an additional $70.00/cubic
yard. Larry indicated that the probes that are installed by the gas tanks do not show any
contamination present.
• Given the options of replacing the tanks or purchasing fuel at local gas stations, Larry is
recommending that the City replace the tanks. He feels it is more cost effective for several
reasons:
1. All City departments use the gas and diesel provided on site.
Fire
Police
Public Works
2. Gas stations with competitive prices are not always open 24 hours/day every
day. This issue is especially important for the Police Department.
3. Staff time will be needed constantly to check prices and change contracts
with gas stations to keep up with the fluctuating prices. Staff time will also
be needed to distribute memos to affected City departments.
4. Staff time in driving to gas stations.
According to the article from the LMC, the present gas tanks have to be removed by the
end of 1998. When I called LMC/Berkley Risk to find out the exact date, they indicated
that the EPA has set a deadline of January 1, 1999. But, that may change because there are
discussions going on at that agency to move that date up.
d
Page 2 •
Larry suggested that the new gas tanks can be budgeted for over the next two years so that
the City can pay for their replacement and installation. He feels whatever monies are not
spent for gas/diesel in budget years 1996 and 1997 can also be put back into this fund to
defray the cost as well.
Zahl Equipment's proposal is as follows: $59,805
1. Removal only of all tanks, backfill with clean fill and compact. Dispose of
P P
tanks property.
2. Install single-wall steel tanks with double-wall fiberglass piping. (30 year
warranty.
In addition, they will furnish material and/or labor in accordance with specifications and
estimates, that include:
3. Obtain permits, notify the MPCA and Gopher One; demolition asphalt and
concrete over the tanks; haul out rubble and debris; excavate purge with
p g •
CO2, remove one 12,000, one 6,000, one 4,000 and one 1,000 gallon steel
tanks and dispose of them properly.
4. Backfill-the-6;000 and-the-1,000 gallon-tank basins-with-clean-fill-an
compact; continue excavation to provide and set one 12,000 gallon and one
6,000 gallon tanks; air test and backfill with clean sand and compact.
5. Provide and install fiberglass product and vent piping over to the existing
island and pumps. The City will provide and install concrete
overfill/overspill protection pads and pour 6" concrete pads over tanks.
6. Tie into electrical at the edge of building and installing new conduit/wiring
for tank monitor probes and pumps. Perform precision testing on tanks and
lines.
7. Start up the monitor system and pumps; calibrate.
Jim Larson of Zahl Equipment advised that the above quoted figure is for budgeting
purposes only. To be on the safe side in determining true cost, he said the City should be
looking at a figure that is closer to $69,000 so that increases in the cost of the tanks or
labor costs can be anticipated. •
. g5
•
Larry also indicated that he would like the City to consider installing a computerized
system whereby the employee uses a card key to access the gas tanks. In this way, the
employee would not need a key to get gas and the City would have a computerized log of
the amount of gas taken and by whom. Currently, the user has to fill out a gas sheet,
which is frequently filled out incorrectly, i.e. amount of gas/diesel taken.
Attached are copies of the invoices from McQueen Equipment for gasoline and diesel for
years 1995 and 1994 indicating the amount of gasoline and diesel that the City has
purchased from them. In 1995, the City purchased approximately 30,943 gallons of
gasoline. The average amount that the City paid per gallon was $.67; the City paid
approximately $20,732 (30,943 gallons x $.67 = $20,732). Currently, (3/96) the City is
paying $.85/gallon for gasoline and as you can see from the 1995 and 1994 invoices, these
prices tend to fluctuate throughout the year. For that reason, I averaged the cost per
gallon and used that figure in my computations.
I also called a local service station to inquire if they have a commercial rate or give a fleet
discount to businesses and if so, what is the rate. He told me that most gas stations in the
area are not giving any kind of a discount because they are charged only cents less than
• what they actually charge their regular customers. (I only checked locally because it would
be difficult and inefficient for Police or Fire personnel to travel to another city for fuel.)
I asked what the current price per gallon was and he said that they raised them today to
$1.23/gallon for regular unleaded.
So that computation looks likes this if the City went to local service stations for gasoline:
a. 30,943 gallons/year x $1.23/gallon = $38,060. The difference between providing
fuel on site and purchasing it from the gas station is $17,328.
b. Using these estimated figures, we can figure out how long it would take for the new
fuel tanks to pay for themselves:
New Fuel Tanks (30 years warranty): $69,000
Difference in Gas Costs to the City: $17,328
Years to Payoff: ($69,000 - $17,328 = 3.98) 3.98 years
I am assuming similar savings for diesel fuel.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: March 22, 1996
TO: Michael Morrison, City Manager
FROM: Kim Moore-Sykes, Management Assistant
ITEM: Meeting with MPCA re: Schnitzer Clean-up Matter
This morning, Mark Kastor of Dorsey & Whitney met with several officials of the MPCA
to discuss the possibility of moving St. Anthony to the de minimis group. Mark's primary
argument was that the City of St. Anthony could not have possibly generated 5,116 pounds
of batteries in a four year period because the City simply did not have the vehicles to
support that generation figure. He went on to say that the batteries were probably as the
result of St. Anthony's early recycling efforts. His letter to the MPCA is attached for your
information.
The MPCA said that the guidelines to determine who gets placed in what group is not
based on generation or how it was generated, but on what was taken to Schnitzer. Since
the weight tickets show St. Anthony responsible for 5,116 pounds of batteries, we will
continue to be considered an RP — according to the "process" that is in place. They
suggested that we have options because St. Anthony is part of the RP Group and maybe
we should take our case to them. In other words, they are not willing to make an
exception in our case, because ". . . a line has to be drawn somewhere." One of the
MPCA officials suggested to me that if the City does not like how the Superfund
legislation handles matters such as this, they should lobby their legislators.

St. Paul, Minnesota 55155
Re: Schnitzer Iron and Metal Site
Dear Mr. Trippler:
I am writing on behalf of the Village of Saint Anthony regarding the
Schnitzer Iron and Metal Site. The Village received notice from the MPCA that it
may be a potentially responsible party (PRP) for purposes of response actions which
may be required to clean up contamination at the Schnitzer site. The MPCA has
identified weigh ticket records for the period 1979 to 1983 suggesting that the Village
sent 5,116 pounds of lead batteries for recycling to the Schnitzer site. The available
records'indicate that the total amount of lead contributed by all PRPs for the same
period was 329,012 pounds, although this number will change with the
identification of additional PRPs. The Schnitzer site was in operation as a scrap
metal processing facility from 1937 until 1983, but records of battefy shipments are
apparently not available except for the period 1979 to 1983.
The Schnitzer property was purchased by the University of Minnesota in
1987. Despite the escrow of significant funds when the property was acquired, no
cleanup or response actions have been completed at the site. The MPCA has
identified 23 parties who allegedly contributed in excess of one percent of the total
known lead materials shipped to the site. Another 58 parties are considered de
minimis, having contributed less than one percent of the total known lead to the
site. An analysis of the PRP list indicates that a number of small municipalities,
including the cities of Apple Valley, Centerville, North St. Paul, Shoreview and
• White Bear Lake have been identified as de minimis parties.
DORSEY & WHITNEY LLP
Mr, Dale Trippler •
March 21, 1996

For the reasons set forth herein, the Village of Saint Anthony requests thie
MPCA to redesignate the Village as a de minimis party.
1. The Village-did generate 5 11 E, pour ds of batteries,
The Village of Saint Anthony is a city with few vehicles, machinery or
equipment which would require lead battery replacement. Based on discussions
with city officials, the city's vehicle usage in the late 1970s and early 1980s was
limited to 3 staff cars, 3 police vehicles and 3 fire trucks. The city also had public
works equipment including 4 single axle trucks, 4 pickup trucks, 2 vans, several
lawn mowers, tractors and loading equipment. While there are no specific city
vehicle usage records for the noted years, the described vehicles provide a good
indication of the number of vehicles owned and operated by the city. Even
assuming that all of the vehicles (estimated at 20) had battery replacement each and
every year, which according to city public works officials would not be the case, and
assuming that a battery weighs 25 pounds, in the worst case the city would generate
less than 500 pounds of batteries per year. The worst case, however, is not
representative of city activities since most vehicle batteries would require
replacement only on a 2-3 year rotation. Therefore, during the 4 year period for
which records exist at the Schnitzer site, the city would have generated relatively to
few batteries from its own operations and not the 5,116 pounds allocated under the
MPCA's PRP list.
2. The batteries allocated to the Villagesprobably came from household
recycling.
The city believes that most, if not all, of the batteries allocated to Saint
Anthony at the Schnitzer site may have been accumulated from community/county
recycling programs. The city was one of the first municipalities to encourage
recycling beginning in the 1970s. The city also organized spring cleanup events and
worked cooperatively with local civic groups such as the Girl Scouts, Lions, League
of Women Voters, Jaycees and others. While the city did not maintain a record of
the quantities or materials recycled, the city believes that batteries and metal
products from recycling would account for the bulk of material identified in the
Schnitzer records. We note that over 2,000 pounds of batteries attributed on weigh
tickets to the city cover the period 1979-1980. This was the exact time frame when
Dick's Sanitary Service, Inc./Brooklyn Recycling operated a drop-off recycling center
for city residents.
Historically, it has been the position of the MPCA that MERLA liability does
not attach to the disposal of household materials. This would include batteries and •
other similar materials generated from households that were accepted by the city for
DORS EY & WHITNEY L L P
• Mr. Dale Trippler

transport to a treatment or disposal facility. Minn. Stat. §1156.04, subd. 5. Infiead,
the household trash exclusion has application for community recycling programs,
especially where the community does not own or operate the recycling ori disposal
facility. This is consistent with the state's waste management policy which
encourages and prioritizes recycling ahead of other (e.g., landfilling) waste
management practices. Minn. Stat. §115A.02. The assertion of MERLA liability,
therefore, for a city's recycling program would undercut the state's waste
management policy and would suggest to municipalities that recycling efforts,
whether current or historic, could subject the city to significant environmental
liability risks. We don't believe this is the intended result, but it is an outcome that
follows from identifying the Village of Saint Anthony as a significant PRP in the
Schnitzer matter. We believe this outcome should and can be avoided by
recognizing that the city could not generate the assigned volume of batteries arid
restating the allocation such that the city, if responsible at all, is identified as a de
minimis party.
3. The MPCA database of PRPs at the Schnitzer site is acpitrari Y limlited.
The MPCA has developed a database identifying the alleged significant sfid de
minimis PRPs at the Schnitzer site. The database is extremely limited and excludes
a large number of PRPs who utilized the Schnitzer site for scrap metal processing
and other iron and metal work. The decision on which parties to include and
which to exclude is without support. Moreover, the MPCA has limited the PRP list
to the years 1979 to 1983, even though it is known that Schnitzer operated at the site
for over 40 years. Further, the volumes of materials from which the significant
and de minimis PRP categories have been determined is grossly understated. We
know, for example, that by the mid 1970s, Schnitzer had 40 to 50 employees and
operated a number of high volume mechanical shears and shredders to process
materials. The volume of materials processed, therefore, greatly exceeds the
329,012 pounds identified in the MPCA's PRP list. The MPCA's threshold
determinations arbitrarily Iimit the number of PRPs and increase the potential
liability exposure for small parties, such as Saint Anthony Village.
The Schnitzer PRP database should reflect all parties that sent materials for
processing at the site, even if the specific materials or amounts are not specified. In
this manner, reasonable judgments can be made and an allocation determined. For
example, it is known that a number of car dealers sent vehicles to Schnitzer for scrap
metal processing. Since the contamination at Schnitzer includes petroleum
products, volatile organic compounds, PCBs and metals, it is appropriate to identify
the car dealers as PRPs. Yet, only one car dealer is identified as a significant PRP
• and this at a total poundage which is less than that ascribed to the Village of Saint
Anthony.

Mr. Dale Trippler

As the MPCA itself acknowledges, the current database skews the waste-in
allocation. Certainly, If all of the pounds of materialsprocessed at the Schnizter site
were included in the waste-in inventory, the Village of Saint Anthony would 13: a
de minimis or de micromis party. This is the desired result and conforms to the
agency's suggested de minimis and de micromis policy, where 'small parties can
avoid the significant transaction costs associated with having to defend and
participate in the extended superfund process.
4. The PRPs should not be asked to 12a,v for extensive cleanup at Schnittier.
The MPCA was aware of contamination at the Schnitzer site since 1984 and
the agency negotiated a cleanup agreement (consent order) with Schnitzer in June of
1987. The property was sold in 1987 and an escrow fund of$750,000 was established
from the proceeds of the sale and from insurance to pay for the cleanup. The
burden and risks of the cleanup, therefore, should properly fall on the owner and
operator of the property. Aside from the statute of limitation considerations set otit
in Minn. Stat. 115B.11, to the extent the cleanup costs are due to some new reiriedy
needed to meet the current owners new use for the property, this burden would
seem to rest with the owner of the property. To the extent the MPCA Is imposing a
new cleanup requirement different from the 1987 consent agreement, it would seem
appropriate for the state to pick up a share of the cleanup costs singe a significant
amount of time and money has been utilized with no apparent remedy in place.
Lastly, to the extent the total cleanup costs were underestimated at the time of the •
1987 sale due to a mistake of fact or unknown conditions, the excess costs might be
appropriate for allocation among Schnitzer, the current owner, the insurance
company and the PRPs, although any apportionment should reflect the factors set
forth in Minn. Stat. 1156.08 and not simply a volumetric allocation based on a
limited waste-in survey.
5. Request for Ad
The Village of Saint Anthony requests that the MPCA redesignate Saint
Anthony a de minimis or de micromis party on the Schnitzer PRP list. We believe
the legal and equitable considerations outlined above provide a rationale basis for
this determination and also provide a structure for negotiating a settlement.
Nothing herein should be construed as an admission of liability, but rather as
settlement negotiations not admissible under applicable rules of evidence. We
look further to meeting with you on Friday to further the discussions on this
matter.
