ANTHONY CITY HALL By: Michael Mornson, City Manager In 1996, the City probably had the biggest year in terms of projects and activities completed, i.e., construction on a CUB Food Store and the City Hall started; 120+ building permits were issued; Industrial Custom Products located to the American Monarch building; Chandler Place expanded; the Arbors and Nedegaard townhomes were constructed, etc., etc. I believe that projects and activities in 1998 will surpass 1996. Following is a sample of 1998 existing and future projects. 1) 35`h Avenue NE street project 2) 33`d Avenue NE street project 3) Water tower restoration 4) Completion of the tennis courts 5) St. Anthony Boulevard/Kenzie Terrace sidewalk projects 6) Kenzie area redevelopment 7) Establishment of a Parks Commission 8) Home purchase program relating to flood mitigation 9) Silver Point Park redevelopment relating to flood mitigation . 10) Central Park pond relating to flood mitigation 11) Grant program relating to flood mitigation 12) Sump pump inspection program relating to flood mitigation (may be most difficult project to implement) 13) 1999 street project - October or November neighborhood meetings 14) Harding holding pond 15) Upgrade of computer technology 16) Fill accounting position vacancy 17) Fill Public Works Supervisor vacancy 18) Fill two police officer positions 19) Completion of Comprehensive Plan 20) Completion of Comprehensive Water Resource Management Plan 21) Community survey by Decision Resource 22) Apache redevelopment 23) St. Anthony Shopping Center redevelopment 24) MPRS lawsuit 25) Schnitzer lawsuit 26) Annual Volunteer Dinner event expansion- staff duties for Public Works and Administration expanded 27) Hiring additional Public Works staff- 1 replacement, 1 additional 28) Decorating project for the Great Hall/Council Chambers 29) Hiring a part-time AIV technician . 30) Going live with Council meeting broadcasts 31) Research, compilation and implementation of several ordinance revisions 32) The Stonehouse will again hold festivities during VillageFest. 33) Fire Department took over code enforcement. 34) Hired a new building inspector. 35) Redevelopment of old Clark Station property. 36) Building permits: 1995 - 247 1996 - 226 1997 - 302 1998 to date - 136 Remember: Don't sweat the small stuff, because in the end it's all small stuff!! 1 CITY OF ST. ANTHONY 2 CITY COUNCIL WORKSESSION MINUTES .3 June 2, 1998 4 7:30 p.m. 5 6 7 I. CALL TO ORDER. 8 Meeting called to order at 7:40 p.m. 9 10 II. ROLL CALL. 11 Councilmembers Present: Ranallo, Marks, Faust, Cavanaugh, and Thuesen. 12 Councilmembers Absent: None. 13 Also Present: Michael Mornson, City Manager; Kim Moore-Sykes, Management 14 Assistant; Roger Larson, Finance Director; and Mike Larson, Liquor Operations 15 Manager. 16 17 III. DRAFT OF ORDINANCE RELATING TO POINT-OF-SALE. 18 The City Manager reviewed the proposed point-of-sale ordinance and reported that it 19 was the result of the goal setting retreat that was held earlier this year. He said the 20 intent was to maintain current housing stock and provide enforcement abilities to the 21 current code enforcement ordinance. 22 23 The Council discussed various items of the proposed point-of-sale ordinance. 04 Councilmember Faust had concerns that it may be too intrusive. Councilmember 25 Cavanaugh agreed, but questioned how the City would be able to maintain the housing 26 stock without it. Councilmember Cavanaugh reported that the City of Roseville set up 27 a task force to discuss housing maintenance issues. He also indicated that he liked the 28 idea of having grants available to help residents keep up their property. 29 30 The Council discussed tabling the issue. 31 32 IV. DISCUSSION OF COMMUNITY CENTER ROOM. 33 Councilmember Cavanaugh reported that he wants to look at changing the City's policy 34 on the Community Center to include private uses. Councilmember Marks stated that he 35 agreed initially with the policy that allowed public uses only but he can understand 36 allowing private parties to use the Community Center. Councilmember Thuesen 37 agreed, stating that many residents feel it is not open enough for the community. 38 39 The Mayor indicated some of the reasons why private party usage was originally 40 discouraged. He indicated that the City would have had to increase its insurance 41 coverage to include private parties; hire additional staff to be on duty to open and close 42 the building, clean up after the parties and to provide some level of security for the 43 building. He also stated that no liquor is allowed and most parties like to provide that 44 to their guests. .45 - 1 Councilmember Faust said that the Council should look at what the private sector is 2 charging for private parties and also to ask cities that have similar facilities. The . 3 Mayor stated that Shoreview and Columbia Heights are examples of similar community 4 centers that rent facilities to private parties. Councilmember Cavanaugh indicated that 5 he has the rates for New Brighton and they are similar to what private facilities charge. 6 The Council asked the City Manager to look into what other facilities charge. 7 8 Mr. and Mrs. Richard Leach, 2712 - 34`' Avenue NE indicated that they had comments 9 about the Community Center. Mr. Leach indicated that when they were purchasing 10 their home, they wished that the City had a point-of-sale ordinance because there were 11 several things that needed to be repaired but weren't noticed by them until after they 12 had moved into their home. He also indicated that he felt the Community Center 13 should be opened to the community; that there are people available who can open the 14 Center. He also stated that there is not `open gym' time available to people who just 15 want to come in and shoot baskets. He said that anytime he goes to the gym for `open 16 gym', there is a game being played. 17 18 The Mayor indicated that there are apparently two definitions of `open gym' and he 19 indicated that the gym is scheduled by Community Services. He also indicated that he 20 was not aware of any time that the gym wasn't scheduled and that bumping someone 21 was not possible. 22 23 V. DISCUSSION OF PLANS FOR THE STONEHOUSE AND REVIEW PROFIT � 4 PLAN FOR ENTIRE OPERATION. 25 Mike Larson, Liquor Operations Manager, reviewed with Council plans for repairs that 26 need to be done for the Stonehouse and SAV I. He indicated that the HVAC and air 27 purification systems are in critical need of being replaced. He said that of the three 28 HVAC units, the newest one is 27 years old; the others are about 40 years old. He 29 indicated that SAV I is in need of general renovation; new shelving, new lighting and 30 painting. 31 32 Larson also presented the Performa for the entire operations. He indicated that if the 33 HVAC at the Stonehouse and SAV I fails, the cost to replace it would obviously impact 34 the Performa. Councilmember Cavanaugh stated that the projected profit looks great. 35 36 Larson reported that the food menu is going well. Because of a change in the cooking 37 staff, he said the Stonehouse is in a position to increase the menu options. He stated 38 that the trend in the industry seems to be a change in emphasis; establishments similar 39 to the Stonehouse are shifting from focusing on serving beverages with food on the side 40 to improving the food menu and serving beverages as an aside. 41 42 Councilmember Thuesen stated that smoke is a problem and agreed that most of the 43 needed repairs are cosmetic but felt that if the HVAC systems were replaced and the 44 repairs done, the changed atmosphere of the Stonehouse would be a way to improve 0 45 business. Larson agreed, stating that the repairs would go a long way to improve the 46 image to the public. 2 1 2 Councilmember Thuesen asked if the proposed bridge repair on Silver Lake Road will .3 impact business at SAV II. Larson answered no, that there are marketing promotions 4 that he can use to overcome that situation. The Mayor indicated that Cub does not 5 anticipate a drop in business either. Councilmember Thuesen asked if there would be 6 an impact on SAV I if the Stonehouse were closed. Larson indicated that there would 7 be an impact because SAV I does not have the visibility that SAV II has, so it depends 8 on the clientele from the Stonehouse, especially the Friday night business. 9 10 Councilmember Faust stated that the reason the City is in the liquor business is that it 11 mitigates the tax burden on residents. He indicated that having municipal liquor stores 12 serves the community better than only issuing liquor licenses, because licenses do not 13 bring in the revenue that the liquor operations does. Councilmember Faust stated that 14 what does bring in the revenue are clean glasses, clean air, good food and good service. 15 He indicated that he would like to take a wait and see attitude because there has been a 16 gradual increase in the Stonehouse profits. He also stated that he would like to see 17 money spent for the repairs and in staff and then revisit the issue in nine months. 18 19 The Mayor stated that last year the Council directed Larson to wait on putting a liquor 20 budget together until they could see where the liquor operations were going. He stated 21 that he sees the repairs as ordinary and basic. Larson said that he will go back and look 22 at what absolutely has to be repaired. 23 4 Councilmember Cavanaugh stated that he wants to turn the whole operation over to the 5 private sector, that the Council should at least look at alternative options. He also 26 suggested that the Council should look at putting the SAV I in the vacant Town & 27 Country building as it may help bring in more business to the Shopping Center. The 28 Mayor stated that if the Council decides to give up the liquor business, the City would 29 have to make at least six liquor licenses available for purchase and the City would also 30 give up control. 31 32 VI. CITY MANAGER'S UPDATES. 33 A. Tires Plus Request. The City Manager reported that the owner of Tires Plus 34 have agreed to pay $25,000 toward replacing the fagade. He indicated that he 35 had received a quote of$95,000 from KKE to do the job. The City Manger 36 stated that he recently received notification from the owner of Tires Plus that 37 they will pay $5,000 and finance the balance over 18 months. The City 38 Council indicated that his proposal is not acceptable. 39 40 B. Certification of Local Performance Measures. The City Manager reported that 41 certification of local performance measures was originally proposed by Andy 42 Dawkins as a plan for the City of St. Paul. It later became adopted statewide. 43 He stated that the St. Anthony's police and fire departments currently submit a 44 report annually, which allows St. Anthony to receive LPA. .45 3 1 Councilmember Cavanaugh stated that he wants to see the City do more local 2 performance reporting. He indicated that the City should do more than just 03 meet the requirements, which he said was not the intent of the legislation. 4 The City Manager stated that the departments do submit weekly reports and staff 5 attends seminars on local performance measures and reporting. Councilmember 6 Marks indicated that measurement is a very complex issue and a very difficult 7 program to put together. 8 9 C. Review Resolution Acknowledging Flood Funding. The City Manager 10 presented the resolution that will be on the agenda for the June 9'' Council 11 Meeting. 12 13 D. Discussion of Logo and Color of Water Tower. The City Manager reported that 14 the bids to paint the water tower are due June 18'''. He indicated that the 15 Council needs to decide what colors they want the tower painted. The Council 16 decided blue on eggshell white. 17 18 E. Discussion of Process for Park Commission Interviews. The City Manager 19 discussed the proposed process. He indicated that it was the one used to select 20 Planning Commissioners. Councilmember Cavanaugh stated that the Council 21 should ask in-depth questions in an attempt to determine if the applicants are big 22 thinkers. 23 4 F. Proposed Telecommunications Ordinance. The City Manager reported that Staff 5 is continuing to work on the fee structure of the proposed telecommunications 26 ordinance. He stated that the City of Fridley is presently doing a survey to 27 determine what other cities are charging for disruption of the right-of-way and 28 will provide Staff a copy once it is completed. 29 30 G. Dick Enrooth is on the Hennepin County Solid Waste Management Committee 31 and would like to know the Council's views and concerns on this issue. 32 33 H. John Delmonico has resigned from the Planning Commission. 34 35 I. Early Retirement. The City Manager reported two employees have accepted the 36 City's offer of early retirement; Jim Lorbeski's last day will be July 17' and 37 Barb Hickerson's last day will be July 31s'. He stated that the Public Works 38 Department will be having a retirement party for Lorbeski at the New Brighton 39 Eagles on July 17`h and that Hickerson had asked not to be given a party. 40 41 J. Schnitzer Update. The City Manager gave the Council an update of the 42 Schnitzer matter. 43 44 K. NetLink. The City Manger reported that they are finished with their survey of 45 Staff and it will be presented to the Council at the June 9' Council meeting. 06 4 1 2 3 VIII.

WELCOME BY MAYOR. 16 The Mayor welcomed everyone to the evening's events. He thanked Carol Jindra for 17 all of her efforts regarding the parks. He said it was Carol's idea to put together the 18 evening's ice cream social to promote the parks redevelopment. 19 20 The Mayor reported that the Parks Task Force completed its work on April 28' and 21 presented its recommendations to the City Council. He said that establishing a parks 22 commission was one of the recommendations, which is in the planning stages. He 23 invited everyone who was interested in being appointed to the Parks Commission to 04 submit a letter of interest to the City Manager by June 23`d. He reported that the Parks 25 Commission will consist of seven council-appointed voting members and three non- 26 voting representatives from Community Services, Sports Boosters and the School 27 District. 28 29 IV. PRESENTATION OF CENTRAL PARK PLAN BY BOB KOST, BRW, INC. 30 Bob Kost reviewed the mission of the Parks Task Force and reported that with 31 impending storm water improvements that may impact the City's parks, the Task Force 32 decided to focus on the planning of the redevelopment of Central Park. He stated that 33 the Task Force wanted to create a place that was multi-generational, providing 34 recreational activities for everyone. 35 36 In their planning of Central Park, Kost stated that the Task Force decided to go beyond 37 the boundaries of the "box" because there are so many recreational demands on Central 38 Park. He said that it was understood that the resultant plan would have an impact on 39 the current park equipment and design. Kost stated several uses that were listed as 40 important uses or facilities for the redesigned Central Park: natural wetland to 41 accommodate occasional storm water storage needs, trail system to connect Central 42 Park to various uses and the City Hall, concession stands and lavatories, playground 43 areas at the north and south ends of the Park, reconfigured ball fields, and performing 44 arts amphitheater. .45 6 1 The Mayor stated that Central Park, Emerald Park and Silver Point Park will be 2 redeveloped in conjunction with the City's storm water management project. 3 4 Todd Hubmer, WSB, Inc, discussed the proposed storm water management plan to 5 mitigate flooding problems in the City by using the parks. He stated the north end of 6 Central Park will be reconstructed to include a holding pond that will be dry unless the 7 City experiences a rainfall in excess of 2 inches and a berm to separate the homes from 8 the park. He indicated that the grading will be redone so that storm water from the 9 residential area will drain to the holding pond. 10 11 Kost and Hubmer answered questions from residents regarding plumbing, lights, 12 fencing around the ball fields, play equipment costs, and the impact on the other parks 13 while redevelopment is occurring. 14 15 Hubmer reviewed the proposed storm water management plan and its impact on Silver 16 Point Park and Emerald Park. He indicated that to accommodate the flood protection 17 levels needed for the City, Silver Point Park will need to be lowered 10 feet on the west 18 side and 12 feet on the east side. Hubmer stated that Emerald Park has 2 plans because 19 of the redevelopment that is going on in New Brighton. He stated that whatever New 20 Brighton does will impact Emerald Park and the plan ultimately used. He indicated that 21 one plan lowers the park 16 feet. He reported that the other plan only lowers the south 22 end of the park, but substantially reduces the water storage capability but allows more 23 recreational activity. 4 25 The Mayor announced that the City is looking for interested residents to be on the Park 26 Commission. He asked that anyone interested submit a letter of interest to the City 27 Manager by June 23rd and interviews will be on June 30`''. He said the first Parks 28 Commission meeting will be July 21' and the second Monday of each month after that. 29 The Mayor also discussed the tentative schedule for the redevelopment of the parks. 30 31 ADJOURNMENT. 32 The Parks Informational meeting adjourned at 7:15 p.m. 33 34 Respectfully submitted, 35 36 37 Kim Moore-Sykes, 38 Management Assistant. 39 40 41 7 CITY OF ST.

What other Community volunteer activities have you been involved with that you enjoyed doing? Why? 3. As a Park Commissioner how would you deal with conflicting opinions between commissioners regarding a park project? With residents? With the Council? 4.

Is this a commitment that you can accommodate into your schedule? 5. The City parks are to be redeveloped to incorporate storm water retention uses as well as recreational uses.

Morrison City Manager 3301 Silver Lake Road St. Anthony, MN 55418 Dear Mr. Morrison: I would like to serve on the St. Anthony Village Parks Commission. My reasons and credentials for seeking this appointment are as follows: Having lived adjacent to Central Park in St. Anthony Village for 21 years, I have come to deeply appreciate what a great public resource and asset this and the other two parks are for the community. They provide extensive opportunities for meeting and getting to know other people in the community. Much of this social activity centers around youth and adult involvement in school and Sports Booster sponsored athletics. I have learned as a member of the Park Task Force last year that demand for baseball and soccer fields is exceeding availability. Also,playground - requirements for the preschool and school age children programs offered by Community Services have to be satisfied. Hence the Parks Commission and the city have to carefully plan for more effective utilization of the limited park space available. Park design should also consider the need for walking and other non-team outdoor activities. The latter activities are tremendously enhanced by creative landscaping that promote the natural beauty of the parks. To quote Frank Lloyd Wright, "If you invest in . beauty, it will remain with you for the rest of your life." Hence, if we can design our parks to accommodate a full range of athletic activities and at the same time incorporate landscaping features that will promote harmony between the park's athletic functions and outdoor environment,all citizens will.have something to enjoy and and be proud of. My small contribution so far to beautify the landscape has been the planting of two Austrian pine trees east of the water pump building at the top of the hill in Central Park. I run or walk almost every other day in the park and it is visually gratifying to have trees at various locations in the park. I am also very appreciative of the new tennis courts and the, effort to save the trees surrounding the courts. For three years I organized and directed the Village Fest tennis tournament and the trees were a natural gravitational point for the spectators and players by providing shade, beauty and comfort for everyone. Not only does my strong interest in the Park Commission stems from a long involvement in park related activities and observing how the park is used on a daily basis, but also to my skills as a consensus builder. It was clear to me from my participation on the Park Task Force that there were strong differences of opinion on park design depending on whose priorities were under consideration. Establishing common goals and priorities first and then communicating clearly and honestly the issues and options available would better facilitate the development of a park system that would inspire pride in everyone in St. Anthony Village. This process is democratic but requires direction,open dialogue,and cooperative listening by concerned committee members. I believe as a concerned citizen for the betterment of the parks with experience on committee dynamics and consensus building,I could be a useful and valuable member of the Park Commission. .

I'm interested in serving on this advisory committee. I want to become more involved in programs that improve the quality of life for residents in St. Anthony. . My interest stems from a variety of park experiences throughout my lifetime. As a child growing up in St. Anthony, I considered myself a"regular" at Silver Point Park during the summer and winter months. I graduated from St. Anthony High School in the mid 70's and utilized the programs and equipment at Central Park as well. I then went off to college, and received my degree from the University of Minnesota in Parks and Recreation. I worked for the City of New Brighton during college, received an internship with the City of Brooklyn Center in their Parks and Recreation Department,and finally landed a professional job with the City of Golden Valley in the early 1980's. I am no longer working in the recreation field, but would like to use some of the skills and experiences I have gained in a volunteer role. Please consider my appointment to this advisory committee. I would be a dedicated and committed member of the group. Creating a safe and inviting park system for residents of St. Anthony would be an exciting opportunity. You can reach me by phone during the day at my office, or at home in the evening (numbers listed above). I look forward to hearing from you in the near future. Thank you for your consideration.

June 19, 1998 Dear City Council Members, I am writing to express my interest in serving on the newly created St. Anthony Parks Commission. I have lived in St. Anthony for the past 11 years with my wife Nora and our four children,Mickey, 16,Tera, 13, Shane,6 and Kelly,2. We originally moved to St. Anthony thanks to the parks. We had recently relocated here from the Chicago area and were renting an apartment in Roseville. I was skating with my children at Emerald Park when I noticed one of the houses on Macalaster Drive had a"for sale"sign planted in the front snow banks. The more we checked into St.Anthony the more we liked what we saw and we have been here ever since. Through the years I have had many opportunities to enjoy the St. Anthony park facilities. Beside living across from Emerald Park and using it as our neighborhood playground,our children have been actively involved in the St. Anthony Sport Booster recreation programs. I have participated as either a coach and a parent at many St. Anthony baseball and soft ball and soccer games. In addition I recently stepped down after serving eight years as hockey commissioner with the St.Anthony Sports Boosters. This role gave me many opportunities to work with the other commissioners and the community services and city staff to develop and operationalize recreational opportunities for the youth of St. Anthony. It also helped me to understand the many uses that our parks must serve: aesthetic green space for a first ring suburb, facilities for organized sporting events, an informal place for community members to meet and relax and a place for our children to play and grow. I would like to be a part of the effort to . shape our parks for the future. Thank you for considering me for a position on the newly created parks commission. I applaud you for creating the commission and look forward to the positive impact the commission will have on our city.
