MEMORANDUM
To: Michael Mornson, City Manager
From: Kim Moore-Sykes,Management Assistant
Date: April 6,1999
Subject: Y2k Contingency Plan
We met to discuss a contingency plan in the event Y2k has more of an impact on the community
of St. Anthony. Many of the team members felt that without some direction from the Council
about the level of preparedness they desire and an allocation of funding needed for the desired
level of preparedness, preparing a contingency plan is premature. Currently, the City has an
emergency preparedness plan in the event of a disaster and it was felt that at this time, that plan
is adequate and addresses many of the issues associated with the City's response to an
emergency. The consensus of the City Council at the February worksession as we understood it,
was that the emergency preparedness plan would be implemented if needed.
Jay Hartman indicated that the Public Works has one generator and is able to rent additional
generators that can power the City Hall/Community Center, the wells and the lift stations. If
the City Council felt it was necessary, he would be able to rent or purchase additional generators
for other facilities, such as the High School. Chief Johnson indicated that the school buildings
will have to be wired to protect them from sudden power surges that will result when the power
is reconnected. If not, the electrical wiring is in danger of being destroyed Hartman reported
that while the generators will provide lights and power to the City Hall, they will not provide
power for heat. The City Hall boilers are powered by natural gas.
At the various NSP information sessions on Y2k,the topic of generators does come up. Each
time,the NSP representative states that he would not recommend customers purchase
generators for use in the event of any power outages unless the customer understands that the
generator needs to be connected by an electrician because of the danger of fire and/or
electrocution. NSP also cautions that in the event a power outage would last more than several
hours,the customer needs a safe place to store the fuel so that it doesn't ignite or explode,which
may also cause damage or harm to the neighboring properties. There seems to be a whole host
of problems and cautions associated with residents using a generator and the Fire Chief agreed.
Members of the Y2k Team agreed that at this point, educating of the Community about Y2k is
as important as preparing a contingency plan. Chief Engstrom reported that this is easily done
because the Community Policing and Neighborhood Watch programs are mechanisms that are
• already in place to organize neighborhoods. He suggested that we set up neighborhood meeting
dates and assign Team members and Councilmembers to attend each meeting. He likened them
to round table discussions whereby Staff and Council listen to resident fears, concerns and
expectations on not just Y2k, but all issues that the City deals with. After these neighborh;,c,u
meetings, Staff and Council would meet to discuss what the residents said.
0 The Y2k Team also discussed continued use of the City's newsletter and Web site toP rovide
information to the residents. They felt the next issue to be addressed is the resident's personal
safety if faced with power outages, securing their money,personal protection, etc.
Tentatively, staffing for 12/31/1999 and 1/1/2000, in the event of a systems failure with either
the City's internal system, e.g. sewer and water, or to the external system, e.g. NSP,will be as
follows:
1. Police will have a normal shift of 3 or 4 officers plus the Chief, Supervisors and an
additional 4 or 5 officers. There will be officers stationed at the Police Station and
on the streets of St. Anthony,Lauderdale and Falcon Heights. The Chief has
informed the officers that all vacation and compensation days will not be scheduled
during 12/31/99 through 1/7/99.
2. Fire will have a normal shift plus one firefighter,who will be stationed at the Fire
Station from 11 p.m. to 6 a.m. to answer phones.
3. Public Works will have a full staff on duty from 11 p.m. until 3:00 a.m. The Public
Works Director and Supervisor will be on during that time as well. These
employees will be stationed at the Public Works garage, filtration plant, lift stations
and well house.
4. The Management Assistant and a police officer will be at City Hall covering the
switchboard.
Essentially, all public buildings will be open and in operation on 12/31/1999 from 11p.m.
to 3a.m. Chief Johnson, as the City's Emergency Manager,will call everyone
according to the notification schedule on 1/1/2000 to report any and all situations.

IV. DISCUSS PROPOSED POLICY
ON CODE ENFORCEMENT.
. 0
The City of St. Anthony's Code Enforcement Procedure is as follows:
1. Code violations are observed and reported either by Staff as they are in
the Community while performing their normal duties or Staff receives a
verbal or written complaint from a resident.
2. Code violations are passed on to Staff and they will contact the property
owner to meet with them.
3. A letter with a timeframe and actions that need to be done to achieve
compliance is then sent to follow-up this meeting.
4. A second letter is sent explaining the consequences of non-compliance.
5. If the property owner continues to ignore the City's attempt to get
compliance, a citation may be issued to the property owner and/or the
matter may be sent to the Prosecuting Attorney for proper disposition.
The City may elect to correct the problem and charge the property
owner for the time and materials. This charge will be made part of the
property owner's water bill.

Dear Mike,
As you know, our Company continues to own the land to the east of
the Industrial Custom Products building up to the Amoco station on
37th avenue NE. About two years ago, this property was listed for
sale, or as a build to suit site, with Roll Real Estate. While
this listing expired over one year ago, Roll's sign remained on
the property until about two weeks ago when we replaced it with
our own sign. Since then,I have received three calls from parties
showing interest. From this, I conclude that there probably has
been other interest in the property which did not get past Roll .
• Also, it is my feeling that with the recent indication of some
further development at Apache and with the Amoco facility becoming
a less viable business, a possible combined site at that location
may attract increased interest in the near future. I will be
checking with Amoco on the status of their property.
As you will recall, we did soil boring tests on our land and
determined that certain soil correction actions would needed for
development to occur. The cost of soil correction, either in the
form of excavation or building piling is estimated in the $200, 000
range. Obviously, this is in addition to normal building costs,
and makes development significantly more difficult to accomplish
without City assistance for soil correction.
Accordingly, we request the City to continue to consider this site
for involvement as development opportunities occur in the future.
