reconstruction of the Foss Road lift station, sanitary sewer along 3 9th Avenue NE and Chandler
Drive, and forcemain along Foss Road, 37th Avenue NE, and Highcrest Road. He explained this
2
City Council Regular Meeting Minutes
April 11, 2006
Page 2
1 project is needed based on the increase in sanitary sewer flow because of the Silver Lake village
2 development. He presented several options and recommended utilizing pipe bursting for the
3 Arunk sanitary sewer from Silver Lake Road to the Foss Road lift station, and a directional bore
4 forcemain from Foss Road to the Roseville system. It is also recommended to construct a lift
5 station. Mr. Hubmer used a map to note the location of the Foss Road lift station, which will be
6 a small sized building to house the generator, pumps, submerged wells 33 feet below ground, and
7 a hoist that can be used to lift out the pumps, if needed.
8
9 Mr. Hubmer also noted the location of a property owner to the east and advised that staff will
10 meet with them when the well house is being built to assure minimizing impact to the adjacent
11 landowner.
12
13 Mayor Faust asked about constructing the lift station so it appears to be a house. Mr. Hubmer
14 explained this is an industrial area with a framing shop to the back so he would recommend an
15 industrial themed lift: station.
16
17 Mr. Hubmer presented the project costs and proposed financing, noting the total project cost is
18 $1,864,400. Proposed funding includes the Sewer and Water Utility Fund, Public Improvement
19 Bonds, and developer SAC and WAC fees. Mr. Hubmer then presented the project schedule.
20
21 Councilmember Stifle requested the definition of the different types of boring. Mr. Hubmer
22 described pipe bursting and directional boring tunneling technologies. Councilmember Stille
23 asked what is the advantage of either technology. Mr. Hubmer recommended pipe bursting in
24 39th Avenue because there is an existing pipe. On the force main there is no existingpipe so
pp
25 directional boring is recommended. The advantage of both is that the streets do not have to be
26 torn up and restored.
27
28 Councilmember Stille stated that 39th and Chandler Streets could be redone now and asked if it is
29 a mistake to not do the whole project. He also asked how much life is left in those streets. Mr.
30 Hubmer stated 39th Street may be at the end of its life but if the land uses or development
31 changes, then there would have to be a change in the utilities.
32
33 Mayor Faust asked about the level of disruption this time versus waiting to do the entire street.
34 He noted residents cannot stand it when a street is dug up and then three to five years later it is
35 dug up again. Mr. Hubmer explained that with pipe bursting they will dig up where the services
36 are and it only involves about a week of work.
37
38 Councilmember Thuesen asked if this will provide capacity for what is needed today plus the
39 future. Mr. Hubmer stated they did add projections for future growth. He noted the City now
40 has to size the system to accommodate the I/I flows but once those flows are removed, it frees
41 capacity to handle future development.
42
43 Mayor Faust asked if the project takes into consideration the buildout of the yet to be built
44 homes, businesses, and teardown. Mr. Hubmer answered in the affirmative.

5 Motion carried unanimously.
6
7 B. Resolution 06-036; Ordering` Preparation of Specifications and Solicitation of Bids for
8 Automatic Water Meters.
9 Todd Hubmer, WSB & .Associates, explained that the existing water meters in the City are
10 approaching 20 to 3 0 years old and nearing the end of their life cycle. He explained the
11 significant benefits and time savings of an automated system where the water meters are read
12 automatically via radio and receiver and automatically put it into the system. Mr. Hubmer then
13 presented the anticipated schedule and cost estimates.
14
15 Councilmember Gray noted that many of the water meters need to be replaced because of their
16 age and asked what would be the cost difference between replacing them with traditional meters
17 or the new meters. -Mr. Hubmer estimated $100,000 to $125.,000 over replacing with the
18 traditional meter they have today.
19
20 Councilmember Gray asked about potential time savings. Mr. Hubmer estimated several days
21 per quarter plus the benefit of tracing accounts in a timely method and not having to make
22 numerous telephone calls for delinquent accounts.
23
24 Councilmember Horst asked if specialized equipment is needed in the vehicle that is used to
25 obtain the reading. Mr. Hubmer explained it is just a small box that can be put into any vehicle
26 and the entire City readings can be completed in about one hour.
27
28 Councilmember Horst asked if it would be monthly or quarterly billing. Mr. Hubmer stated that
29 is a decision of the Council but there is a cash flow benefit for the City to go to monthly billing.
g
30 Councilmember Horst asked about the benefit of not having to get into the house t0 do the
31 reading. Mr. Hubmer agreed it is a benefit if the person is not home for several months or not
32- providing readings. Councilmember Horst noted the equipment cannot turn off the meter. Mr.
33 Hubmer stated that is correct but it can be turned off at the curb.
34
35 Mayor Faust noted this is a similar system to that -used by Connexus so the days of the meter
36 reader may be over.
37
38 Motion by Councilmember Stille, seconded by Councilmember Gray, to adopt Resolution 06-
39 036, ordering Preparation of Specifications and Solicitation of Bids for Automatic Water Meters
40
41 Motion carried. unanimousl .
42
43 C. Resolution 06-037; Adopting the Sanitary Sewer Infiltration & Inflow Reduction Plan
44 Todd Hubmer, WSB & Associates, presented the Sanitary Sewer Infiltration and Inflow (I/I)
45 Reduction Plan. He explained that infiltration is the seepage of ground water into the City's
46 system. Inflow is flow from a single point such as a sump pump or foundation drainage system.
47 He noted the Metropolitan Council adopted an Environmental Service Policy (MCES) to
4
City Council Regular Meeting Minutes
April 11, 2006
Page 4
1 commence a 5 -year Surcharge Program starting in 2007. St. Anthony is to be charged for I/I in
2 excess of set MCES limits. That surcharge for St. Anthony is $1,197,000 or $119,700 annually
3 for ten years. Rebates and credits on surcharges will be given for City initiated I/I reduction
4 programs. He advised that an additional demand charge will begin in 2013 for future violations
5 of MCES limits. Mr. Hubmer listed St. Anthony's current I/I reduction programs and presented
6 a graph that showed the occurrences of violation of the Metropolitan Council standard from 1995
7 to 2004, noting it is now less than five occurrences which is a significant reduction.
8
9 Mr. Hubmer explained how the pilot study identified non-compliant homes. Visual inspection
10 was done of 60 homes, 45 allowed inspection, and 17 noncompliant connections were found.
11 The inspections found 12 homes that already had corrected an improper connection. He stated
12 that there remains about 830 non-compliant connections and if the City can remove them, it
13 would come into compliance with the Metropolitan Council standards. He
a resented picture
p
14 showing an incorrect sanitary sewer inflow connection and described how it can be corrected, at
15 a cost of $1,500 to $2,000. Mr. Hubmer explained how the proposed I/I Reduction Plan will
16 gain that level of compliance and the anticipated schedule.
17
18 Mr. Hubmer described financing and anticipated MCES costs as well as costs eligible for
19 surcharge credit. He stated the City will apply for credits against the 2007 surcharge for all
20 projects that have reduced I/I since 2004.
21
22 Mayor Faust asked if St. Anthony has been part of the flow to Lake Pepin. He noted there have
23 been newspaper articles about trying to construct a new system to stop flows into Lake Pepin,
24 which is impaired waters. Mr. Hubmer stated that is one of the reasons for the surcharrr ge
25 program from the Metropolitan Council. Now the focus is on the sanitary sewer systems;
26 however, in the next year or two, they will be talking about Lake Pepin and impact of stormwater
27 runoff from St. Anthony.
28
29 Councilmember Thuesen asked about an approximate time span of noncompliant houses with
30 passive drainage systems. Mr. Hubmer stated if the house was built before 1970, there is
31 potential that it has a passive system. Councilmember Thuesen stated that is a large percentage
32 of homes built in St. Anthony. Mr. Hubmer advised that about 65% of the homes in St. Anthony
33 have passive systems.
34
35 Councilmember Thuesen asked if the City will be in compliance upon completion of this
36 program. Mr. Hubmer stated that is the goal.
37
38 Councilmember Thuesen asked if they know which pipes have issue with infiltration. Mr.
39 Hubmer stated if the City gets 830 homes corrected, it will meet theoals of the Metropolitan
g p
40 Council and the City will not to pay the surcharge. However, if St. Anthony has a large rainfall,
.41 they will be fined for I/I, as would many other cities.
42
43 Mayor Faust asked when the ordinance was instituted and how much the Metropolitan Council
44 fee could cost the City. Mr. Hubmer stated the ordinance was adopted in 1997 and it would have
45 cost the taxpayers $50,000 and 70,000 a year. Mayor Faust noted the investment being made
46 would reduce that $50,000 to $70,000 per year cost.

1 Councilmember Stille pointed out that in 2013, the surcharge will become a fee and the City
2 does not want to pay those dollars. The other reason is that environmentally soundp ractices are
3 the right thing to do.
4
5 Mayor Faust agreed and stated that while this program may be considered intrusive and it is
6 expensive, something must be done and this Council will not pass the problem on to a future
7 Council.
8
9 Motion by Councilmember Gray, seconded by Councilmember Thuesen, to adoptt Resolution 06-
10 037, Adopting the Sanitary Sewer Infiltration & Inflow Reduction Plan.
11
12 Motion carried unanimously.
13
14 Mr. Mornson advised that about- 45% of cities are in the sameosition as St. Anthony. He noted
p Y
15 the attendance of two Public works employees, John Trombley and Tom Sullivan who are in
16 attendance as part .of schooling to obtain a certificate. They decided to attend the St. Anthony
17 Council meeting because it is a well run meeting.
18
19 Mayor Faust thanked Mr. Trombley and Mr. Sullivan for their hard work on behalf of St.
20 Anthony.
21
22 VI. GENERAL BUSINESS OF THE. COUNCIL.
23 A. Update on -Financial Strategies
24 Stacie Kvilvang, Ehlers & Associates, stated the Council will be discussing the City's Key
25 Financial Strategies, which is an interactive process between the Council and staff. She
26 explained the Strategies create a comprehensive financial management plan to meet goals
27 established by the Council. Currently, the Council has undertaken a process to look at existing
28 plans in place and stand alone documents like the operating budget, debt planning budget, capital
29 program needs, staff needs, and infrastructure needs.
30
31 Ms. Kvilvang reviewed how the Council first undertook this process in 2002, projects
32 considered, public participation, and the planning process. She listed the seven goals the Council
33 set as part of the 2006 goal setting session. These seven project total about $9.2 million and they
34 have determined financing for the top five goals that the City can complete in 2006-2007, costing
35 about $7.1 million.
36
37 Ms. Kvilvang stated the Council has asked how theseJro' ects can be undertaken with the least
p
38 impact to taxpayers and residents of St. Anthony. She advised that only one of the top five
39 projects will have impact to residents through a levy p Y position. The Cit can finance the other
40 four projects through internal borrowing and cash on hand. The TIF bond will be repaid from
41 the Chandler TIF District and levy.
42
43 Ms. Kvilvang presented each of the seven capital projects and explained the recommended
44 financing for each. She explained that it is recommended to levy $1.3 million. of the costs for the
45 Silver Lake Road project. The City's average home value is $250,000 so the impact would be
46 about a $42 dollar increase to take on the street improvement program.

Page 6
1 Ms. Kvilvang explained that the financing aspects of the other twopriorities, Emerald Park and
p
2 wireless Internet, have not yet been resolved. She recommended that once the Council decides
3 what to do at Emerald Park, some cash on hand like profits from the liquor store can be
4 considered. However, most likely, there would be a tax impact through an abatement bond or
5 equipment certificates. The wireless internet service is estimated at $1 million and as it is further
6 discussed, staff will look at feasibility and funding sources.
7
8 Councilmember Stille stated this is an excellent job of framing goals and financial sources. He
9 asked if this program- will impact the City's. bond rating. Ms. Kvilvang explained that rating
10 agencies, such as Moody's, look not only at fund balances, but alsoP lannin into operations so
g
11 this will help to strengthen or maintain the bond rating of the City.
12
13 Councilmember Thuesen noted the cost estimate for the Silver Lake Road project is $3 million
14 and recalled that was a high -side estimate. Ms. Kvilvang explained it was the highest estimate
15 and if the project costs less, it would free up funds to be used elsewhere.
16
17 Mayor Faust noted some of the projects are interrelated and interconnected so the City cannot do
18 one without the other or the cost goes up. He stated that the Silver Lake Road, wireless water
19 meters, I/I Program and Foss Road lift station projects are directly interrelated to each other.
2.0 Mayor Faust stated his support for doing those projects.
21
22 Mayor Faust stated the sidewalk, street lights, and Highcrest projects are related and benefit both
23 regular citizens and the School. He noted it has been stated all along that the wireless Internet
24 project would be self funding. He stated he supported the Emerald Park and wireless internet
25 projects, if the Council found a way to fund them that was not levy or bonding. He noted that a
26 lot of times and dollars look big but it goes back to the Key. Financial Strategies, which put the
27 City in a position to do a number of projects that appear to be big to the community. He stated
28 he does not think the projects are excessive and pointed out the Council has spent four years
29 planning and now needs to do something.
30
31 Councilmember Thuesen stated when thinking about the sidewalks and looking at the long term,
32 St. Anthony is a walkable Safe Community. Sidewalks are a long-term goal and also have
33 potential ramifications with the School District and bussing students. The sidewalks allow
34 people to go for walks as well as safely walk to school.
35
36 Mayor Faust stated the School District has an annual cost of $600,000 to bus students and if the
37 City can help them take a "bite" out of it, it will help the tax payer's burden.
38
39 Ms. Kvilvang stated St. Anthony is a City that stands apart from others and is held up by other
40 cities because while some may do annual goal setting, they do not make the connection of
41 financial planning for long-term impacts or try to limit impacts back to the taxpayers. She
42 advised that other cities refer to St. Anthony as the model of how things should be done and
43 planned for. Ms. Kvilvang stated St. Anthony should be proud of being able to take on projects
44 that cost millions of dollars with low impact to residents.

4 North Suburban Communication Commission funds about $60,000 and he encouraged those
5 interested to make application prior to the Friday, April 14, deadline.
6
7 Mayor Faust referenced a letter submitted by four young. ladies who indicated they watch the
8 most popular television channel, Channel 16, which they find to be informative. However, they
9 recommend the City playa different type of music. Mayor Faust stated he is glad to receive this
10 letter and that they are watching to learn more about government.
11
12 Councilmember Horst stated he attended the Sister City meeting a week ago to discuss Finn Day
13 at the Minnesota Rock Symposium. Currently, the cost estimate is about $1,500, which will be
14 privately solicited. He encouraged all to attend Finn Day at Minnesota on Saturday, June 4,
15 noting it Will include performances by folk dancers, folk bands, poem readings, and many other
16 events.
17
18 Councilmember Horst stated he attended the Community Services Board meeting last Thursday
19 where Dennis Cavanaugh made a presentation on significant survey findings from older adults.
20 He advised that 96% of those who responded to the survey rated the quality of life in St.
21 .Anthony as excellent to good. They still enjoy a high level of community involvement and like
22 living in St. Anthony. However, people 55 to 60 years of age do not like to think of themselves
23 as "senior citizens."
24
25 Councilmember Stille stated he is a member of the Family Services Collaborative who went
26 through an exercise orchestrated by Falcon Heights Mayor Sue Gehrz. Several focus groups of
27 parents and kids were formed and questions asked to get at the root of what can be done for kids
28 to make this a viable place for them to grow and prosper. Because of Hennepin County funding
29 cut backs, the Collaborative will be .using their venue to communicate to residents on how they
30 will be helping. He announced that volunteers are needed.
31
32 Councilmember Stille stated that two weeks ago he attended Legislative Day at the capitol with

34 impact St. Anthony.
35
36 Councilmember Thuesen thanked Mayor Faust and Councilmembers who attended.the
37 Legislative Day to represent St. Anthony in front of elected officials. He stated he also attended
38 the presentation mentioned by Councilmember Stille and emphasized that no mater how small or
39 large a community, strong schools and healthy youth means a better chance to have a great city.
40 He explained that some of the things the Collaborative would like to do are capital related so
41 money would be needed but other things just require volunteers. He stated that all have many
42 demands on their time but. encouraged them to consider this if they want to give back to the
43 community because the City's youth are not immune to issues facing society and the City needs
44 to listen to its youth.
45
46 Mayor Faust reported on his attendance at the Legislative Day at the capitol and discussions held
47 regarding the Impaired waters Act. He mentioned that Representative Dennis Ozment from

2 heard Senator Dean Johnson and Representative Steve Sviggum speak. Mayor Faust explained
3 that last year the State tried but failed to put a $36 tax on each house to generate money for this
4 use. Now they want $20 million to $30 million from general funds to start the process for clean

MEMORANDUM
DATE: April 11, 2006
TO: Mike Mornson, City Manager
FROM: Roger Larson, Finance Director
ITEM: AMENDMENT OF 2005 OPERATING BUDGET
In 2005, the Silver Lake Village Project and on-going related activities for building
permits has provided the City with enhanced building permit revenues. The actual
building permit revenue received in 2005 totals $487,271 which exceeded the amount
budgeted.
In addition, costs for 2005 Inspection Services are higher than the budgeted amount. The
increased costs for consulting/contracted services for inspections are based on the
revenues the City receives from building permits (consultant receives 65%; 35% is
retained by the City).
To balance the 2005 Operating Budget, it is necessary to amend the 2005 budget line
items for Permits and Inspections.
In addition, to comply with better auditing and accounting standards, the City Auditor
(Tautges, Redpath) has recommended the Dare portion of the Dare/Forfeiture Fund be
transferred to the General Operating Budget.
Recommendation:
Council approves resolution #06-040 amending the 2005 General Operating Budget to
$4.,301,100 and the Dare/Forfeiture Fund to $18,000.

Re: .Review of N.E. Diagonal Trail Proposal
WSB Project No, 1626-16
We are in receipt of a design memorandum from URS Corporation, dated March 29, 2006 for the
proposed N.E. Diagonal Trail.
Based on- the review of the information provided, the project as currently proposed meets all
technical requirements of the City of St. Anthony Village.
If you have any questions regarding this project please call nae at (763)287-7182.

St. Anthony City Engineer

701 Xenia Avenue South, Suite #3 00
Minneapolis, MN 55416
RE: NE Diagonal Trail
Dear Mr. Hubmer:
As previously discussed, URS is completing final design of the NE Diagonal Trail for the City of Minneapolis. The
proposed trail extends from S.E. Minneapolis through St. Anthony and into Roseville. Construction is anticipated in
Summer/Fall of 2006. The portion of the proposed trail within St. Anthony is located within Hennepin County
Regional Rail Authority (HCRRA) property. A ramp connection to the existing sidewalk along the north side of St.
Anthony Boulevard, through F.A. Gross Golf Course, is also proposed. URS and City of Minneapolis
representatives presented a project overview at a St. Anthony City Council working session on January 31, 2006
and met with yourself and Jay Hartman on March 13, 2006 to further discuss any concerns or questions you may
have regarding the project. Following are responses to City of St. Anthony questions or comments:
1. Trail Connection to Existing Sidewalk on East Side o�.A. Gross Golf Course
• Question/Comment: Council inquired about whether or not the trail could connect to an existing sidewalk
located on the east side of F.A. Gross Golf Course.
• Response: The NE Diagonal Trail will connect to the City of Roseville's County Road B-2 Trail just west of
Walnut Street. The County Road B-2 Trail will extend south along Walnut Street. URS and the City of
Minneapolis have looked into the feasibility of an additional trail connection at this location and have .
determined that the existing sidewalk is only a few hundred feet long and is located only a few hundred feet
from Walnut Street and the main trail access. An additional trail connection at this location does not appear to
be warranted due to the proximity to the main trail connection at Walnut Street and the short length of the
existing sidewalk. An additional trail connection may create security concerns (rear parking area) for the
adjacent businesses.
2. Trail Access to Existing- Commercial /Industrial Lac* ities
• Question/Comment: Council inquired about whether a trail connection should be made to the existing
adjacent commercial / industrial businesses.
• Response: URS and the City of Minneapolis have looked into a trail connection to these businesses and have
determined that that a trail connection to these facilities would likely encourage trespassing on private property
and may cause security concerns for these businesses and is therefore undesirable. At such time as the City of
St. Anthony acquires an easement from one or more of the area businesses, a connection to the N.E. Diagonal
Trail could be made'.
3. Drainage Concerns
• Question/Comment: You inquired about drainage concerns associated with the trail. Specifically, concerns
were raised about drainage at the proposed St. Anthony Boulevard ramp, where approximately 9 -feet of
embankment fill is proposed to match grade at the ramp connection.
• Response: Existing drainage is from north to south via natural ditches and parallel and cross culverts along
the existing railroad embankment. URS and the City of Minneapolis have looked into the City's drainage
concerns. Trail construction will generally be along the existing railroad embankment with minimal changes to
31
Mr. Todd Hubmer, PE
March 29, 2006
Page 2
the existing ditches. The overall existing drainage pattern, ditches and culverts will be maintained. Two
proposed culverts, sized per the existing ditch hydraulic capacity, will be constructed parallel to the trail
through the proposed fill embankment at the St. Anthony Boulevard ramp.
In addition to resolution on these comments, The City of Minneapolis is requesting a City of St. Anthony 20% local
match, estimated at $91,000 based on. the current Engineer's Estimate, for project costs within the City of St.
Anthony. The local match will be based on actual construction costs. Please let us know if you would like us to
attend the April 11 or April 25 Council meeting. A project overview, current preliminary cost estimates, City of
Minneapolis Bicycle Plans and Technical Advisory Committee decision matrix are attached. Please call me at (612)
3 73 -6 840 with any questions or comments.

MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
Re: Contract Agreement for Police Services, effective January 1, 2007
To: Mike Mornson
From: Heather Worthington
We wish to clarify three separate contract provisions, contained within the revised Contract Agreement for
Police Services, effective January 1, 2007:
1. Consolidated Dispatch Provision: Falcon Heights wi-ll be billed directly by Ramsey County for
dispatch costs. The contract amount will be adjusted annually to account for this direct payment
to the County, and the contract amount reduced to reflect said payment.
2: Alternate Revenue: Falcon Heights, may, at its discretion, negotiate "payments in lieu .of taxes
with tax exempt and non-profit entities within the boundaries of Falcon Heights to recoup service
costs. These payments may be invoiced by Falcon Heights, or at the direction of Falcon Heights,
by the City of St. Anthony in cases where said nonprofit or tax exempt entity requests or requires
such action. Any alternate revenue sources negotiated by Falcon Heights will be utilized
exclusively by St. Anthony to offset the overall contract cost. The City of St. Anthony shall .not
retain fees against these alternate revenue sources, unless extra staff is required and costs are
incurred for the event, and adequate documentation is provided to the City of Falcon Heights by
the City of St. Anthony. In that case, the funds will then be used to offset any extra costs.
3. Salary Offset: In the event that the police union contract is negotiated at a rate lower than the
projected rate of 3.5%, the salary costs of the contract will be adjusted to reflect this lower rate.
In the event that the police contract is negotiated at a rate above 3.5%, the amount of the contract
will be adjusted to reflect these higher salary costs of the contract.

STAFF REPORT
To: Mayor and Councilmembers Report No.:
City Manager
From: Kim Moore -Sykes, Assistant City Manager
Date: April 25, 2006
Subject: Wireless Internet Connectivity Feasibility Study
Requested Action: Council Discussion of the issues presented and next steps.
Background: At a Council worksession on June 2, 2005 City Staff presented information to the
City Council on wireless Internet (Wi Fi). Council had indicated an interest in this technology
because several areas in the community are not currently being serviced with Broadband Internet,
including one City department. As a result of the information presented at this worksession, the
City Council asked that Cheryl Johnson and Tom Asp, representatives then from Virchow/Krause
be invited to do a presentation before the City Council.
At a worksession in August, Ms. Johnson and Mr. Asp provided information about wireless
systems and discussed specific connectivity issues that the City would need to consider before
installing a Wi Fi system. Staff presented an update to the wireless Internet at the November 1St
worskession and was directed to contact Ms. Johnsonand Mr. Asp to invite them to submit a
formal RFP for conducting a feasibility study. On November 16, 2005 Staff received an updated
proposal of total fees and expenses at $14,500 for the Scope of Services as itemized in the proposal,
with a completion date of March 2006. Ms. Johnson did present Staff with a draft of the feasibility
study on March 24th and asked for comments, revisions and corrections by March 29th. Staff
received the final draft of the feasibility report on April 7th, in preparation for presentation to City
Council on April 25, 2006.
Some of the issues discussed in the WiFi report include a demonstrated interest in affordable high-
speed wireless connectivity to the Internet, predominantly by residents and small businesses in the
community. The public service benefits to the community are also extremely noteworthy:.
:.
wireless could be made available to crews and squads working in the community; provide video
security to monitor city parks, schools, municipal liquor stores, wells and other city facilities; and
reduce reliance on and the expense of cell phones with VoIP applications.
In doing a comparative study of the metro area, information suggests that the City of St. Anthony
has similar demographics and vision regarding wireless as does the City of St. Louis Park.
Because installing a stand-alone wireless system will be costly and the return on the investment is
long term, more benefit is derived through the efficiencies and effectiveness it creates than the
revenue it will produce. From a fiscal prospective, financial efficiencies are gained by joining with
other similarly situated cities, either geographically and/or philosophically, in providing
connectivity to the Internet for the residents and business community through a larger system.

Foreword
The City of Saint Anthony Village, Minnesota (Saint Anthony Village) is
considering offering broadband connectivity . services 'to businesses and
residences in the community. In order to assess the potential of this opportunity,
Saint Anthony Village contracted with Columbia Telecommunications Corporation
(CTC) to investigate the financial and operational feasibility of developing a
broadband enterprise.
Connectivity Objectives
To assist in the study development, two key objectives were developed by the
project team (consultant and City staff).
1. The City of Saint Anthony Village seeks to enhance community
development in the city by promoting the demand and affordability of high-
speed and broadband. data connectivity.
2. The City of Saint Anthony Village seeks to enhance the operations and
applications available to public safety and public works.
The City's visions to reach this objective include, but are not limited to, the
following:
1. Saint Anthony Village is a community where enhancing the quality of life,
having open and accessible green space, efficient public safety operations,
and allowing all people to have an equal opportunity to access high-speed
connectivity throughout the entire community at all times; and
2. Saint Anthony Village is a community -wide Internet hot spot that will
enhance the local economy of the residential and small businesses
communities.
The goals to reach this objective include:
1. Advance the community's and the region's connectivity options.
2. Enable applications and other public services to support expanded public
safety and public works initiatives (video monitoring, remote access, AMR,
GIS, other).
3. Facilitate the ability to offer a high-speed alternative priced to compete
with dial-up services.
® Residential (under $25 per month)
® Small Business (under $30 per month)
4-. increase awareness of the benefits of high-speed access.
5. Recognize and support the benefits of high-speed mobile and . portable
connectivity via wireless technologies.
6. Encourage new applications, such as telemedicine and distance learning.
7. Ensure that the broadband. enterprise, if pursued, maintains a positive cash
flow.
The desired outcome of the proposed Saint Anthony Village service is to
maximize the use of high-speed services by residents and small business.

1 Executive Summary
1.1 Recommendations and Insights
The financial projections indicate that it will be challenging for Saint Anthony
Village to provide low-cost essential Internet service while maintaining a posit,ive
cash flow. Given this, we recommend that if Saint Anthony Village considers
pursuit of a wireless broadband offering, alliances with surrounding communities
and communities that have installed wireless networks be sought. In addition
consideration of performance contracting' with a private provider may improve the
projected cash flows.
• Public opinion through surveys conducted in
similar communities indicates that wireless high-
speed Internet is in demand.
o High-speed Internet is quickly becoming
an essential service.
o High-speed Internet not only offers a
choice of data connectivity, it also
empowers consumers to' have additional
choices for voice and video applications.
• The wireless network addresses the spot
coverage of high-speed alternatives today, and
will allow Saint Anthony Village to -provide
affordable wireless Internet access to all its
citizens.
Today's wireless
technologies offer the ability
to provide a low-cost, high-
speed service that is
comparable to DSL and
cable modem services. A
wireless offering provides
the ability to encourage dial-
up users to convert to high-
speed, offer portability
throughout the City of Saint
Anthony Village, and
provide the desired
competition.
• The proposed wireless offering addresses affordability concerns for small
businesses,2 the businesses that create the majority of new jobs. It will
become an important asset for economic development within the
community.
• The wireless network can be leveraged to promote free markets for
innovative entrepreneurs.
In addition, seeking grants or support from other city funds will improve cash flow
projections.
An example is Johnson Controls program for benefit sharing for Automatic Meter Reading
(AMR) and other applications in exchange for an investment in the network.
The proposed wireless offering is not tailored to larger businesses.

1.2 Business Models and Financial Overview
Business Models
We reviewed seven (7) potential business models for Saint Anthony Village's
consideration.
1. Universal Access: Provide free or subsidized service.
2. Economic Development: Ensure that low --cost access is available to all
residences and businesses.
0
9
City. operations: Deploy network based upon public safety and other
municipal applications.
ISP Competition: Become a
retail provider of high-speed
connectivity services.
5. Public -Private Partnership:
Collaborate with existing or
new providers to enhance
services -and reduce risks.
6. open Access Model: Saint
Anthony Village deploys a
wireless network that a retail
provider can leverage to
deliver services.
7. Private Enterprise: Saint
Anthony Village does not
install a network, but promotes
available services from
incumbent providers..
The Federal Communications Commission
(FCC), this August, ruled DSL as an
information service. This ruling means that
Qwest will no longer be required to lease DSL
circuits to resellers such as Cascade
Communication. This ruling makes both the
DSL and cable modem infrastructure "closed"
to resellers.
• Qwest claims that this .ruling will encourage
them to expand the availability of DSL.
• Critics claim this ruling will limit customer
choice and increase access fees since the
market will now be served by only two
providers.
Our concern with the ruling is that individual
providers may try to prevent new services such
as VolP and IPTV from being supported.
Through market and financial analysis, we concluded a combination of the Public -
Private Partnership and Economic Development models appear the best fit for the
City of Saint Anthony Villages' needs:
• Create a most "unwired" city campaign and promote ubiquitous availability
of low-cost "portable" Internet Services (Economic Development).
• Install a wireless network and offer retail services to residences and small
businesses (Public -Private Partnerships).
o Contract out ISP hosting, help desk, and monitoring services.
1-2
AWT
.. ter c a. W a -t
5 8 Lan -2i"101—
Going down the path of seeking a hosting partner may
encourage an ISP to participate in a wholesale or open access
contract.
o . Negotiate with an existing provider to obtain backhaul access to the
Internet (Public -Private Partnerships).
Exit strategies and the business models are discussed further in Section 4.3
Financial Overview
Base case financial projections are shown in Table 1-1. The market share
estimates and pricing where selected to project a break-even cash flow. Based
upon results from other communities, the market shares at the projected prices
wil-I be difficult to obtain. Contributions from other city funds or grant sources will
reduce the required market shares and pricing.
The projections assume a 5 -year general obligation bond for the wireless and
customer premises equipment, a 20 -year bond for the fiber extensions, and a 5 -
year loan for retail operational expenses.

network equipment and CPE, 'a $50,000 bond for fiber, and a $200,000 internal
loan for operational expenses.
b Customer Premises Equipment.
The base -case financial projections shown in. Table 1.1 do not include public
safety and economic development benefits.
In Exhibit II, two network cost estimates are provided. The base -case uses the
higher cost network estimate (Tropos). If the Sky Pilot estimate is used, the
capital requirements are reduced by $114,000, resulting in a lower required
3 N z Columbia

market share. With Sky Pilot cost estimate, we project that a 47% market share
(reduced from 52%) is required for break even. cash flow. Given the lower cost
of Sky -Pilot it may be an attractive alternative. Please note that we are not
recommending. any particular radio vendor, Tropos and Sky Pilot are just
examples. We recommend that a Request for Bid process be used for vendor
selection.
Section 6 provides additional detail on the key assumptions and their sensitivity to
the financial projections. Exhibit I provides detailed schedules of cash flows,
income statements, and all assumptions.
Service pricing key assumptions include:
• Customers have the option of either buying customer premises equipment
for $165 or leasing it for $5.00 per month. We assume that half of
customers will buy CPE and half will lease. Encouraging customers to buy
CPE rather than lease it will help to shift cash flow to the beginning of the
forecast period, when cash flow is likely to be lower.
• Standard 4 Internet is offered at $24.95 per month, plus wireless bridge
(lease or purchase).
• Deluxe 3 Internet is offered at $29.95 per month, plus wireless bridge
(lease or purchase).
• 70% of residences and 30% of businesses will subscribe to the Standard
Internet package, while 30% of residences and 70% of businesses will
subscribe to the Deluxe Internet package.
Funding
We estimate that a 5 -year bond of $525,000 and a 20 -year bond of $50,000 are
required to fund implementation costs. An additional $200,000 internal loan is
required to fund initial operation costs.
Given that the Customer Premises Equipment (CPE) accounts for over 30% of the
wireless implementation costs, the actual subscription rates will impact the
financing requirements.
Other financing such as leasing and vendor underwriting was considered.
However, given the status of the product development and market conditions, we
feel these options will have. few if any takers or require much higher rates than a
General Obligation .(GO) bond.
3 1 Mbps (up and down), 5 email accounts, dynamic IP address, and allows for 2 active devices.
4 The initial service offering is at 1 Mbps (up and down). This is expandable to 3 to 4 Mbps without
hardware changes.
5 2 Mbps (up and down), 10 email accounts, dynamic IP address, .and allows for 3 active devices.

1.3 Benefits and Costs Beyond the Balance Sheet
Obtaining ubiquitous wireless connectivity is a growing goal of many
municipalities. At times, the connectivity goal is combined with the objective of
lowering the cost of broadband access. • Other times, it is not. Communities such
as Corpus Christi, Texas and Providence, Rhode Island have implemented a
wireless solution, not: based upon subscriber revenues, but based on public
service benefits and operational cost reductions. The City of Saint Anthony
Village may realize benefits beyond the financial projections presented in this
plan. A case might be made to implement the proposed wireless network based
solely on internal benefits such as the following:
• Enable crews in vehicles or trucks to have access to the same information
that is available in the office. Unlike mobile data terminals (slow
connection), no special software applications need to be written or
developed due to the speed of•the wireless connection.
Enable remote video security monitoring at water plants and other utility
facilities.
• Enable remote. video security monitoring of schoolyards, parks, and other
locations in the coverage area.
• Enable citizens to view common areas equipped with video monitoring.
o See if other children are at the park.
o Check traffic or other conditions.
• Enable 'the City of Saint Anthony Village to expand city resources that are
available online.
® Reduce the use of cellular telephones and other devices by the City of
Saint Anthony Village staff by the support of Voice over Internet Protocol
(VoIP) and other applications.
Future Revenue Streams
Additional revenues are also possible.. For example, Saint Anthony Village may
consider becoming . a VoIP reseller. Being a reseller, Saint Anthony Village does
not need to develop a VoIP application. For example:
Norwood Municipal Lighting Plant, Norwood, MA, offers cable television
and high-speed Internet in the community. Recently they expanded their
offering by adding a $20 per month VoIP service. Norwood sells the service
and does the monthly billing, while VoIP provider maintains the VoIP
application. Revenues are split equally between the firms.
1-5
61
uff�cx •r.
,
• Coldwater Board of Public Utilities (CBPU) of Coldwater, MI is a Vonage
reseller. With this arrangement, the CBPU sells the initial service, but does
not bill or maintain the customer. The CBPU obtains $3 per month per -
customer for. the initial sale.
In addition, we expect that an increasing number of applications will evolve that
will advance revenue potential, public safety, and economic development
activities.
1.4 Action Steps
Our recommended next steps to advance the availability of services include:
• Consider installation of fiber (or empty conduit) whenever a street or right-
of-way dig occurs, regardless of whether Saint Anthony Village pursues a
wireless offering.
• Seek potential grant sources to assist in the implementation costs.
• Initiate discussion with surrounding communities to create a -wireless
consortium. Consider inclusion of St. Louis Park and their identified
partners.
• Consider use of city or other funding sources to supplement projected
revenue streams due to potential economic development, quality of life, and
other benefits.

Both St. Louis Park and Woodbury conducted feasibility- studies to determine what
role each community might play in connectivity. The City of St. Louis Park is
moving forward with a wireless pilot project. The City of Woodbury is moving
forward with an education effort to increase awareness of available connectivity.

Some of the key factors that led the City of St. Louis Park to decide to support
building a pilot wireless network are:
• The lack of service offerings to fill the "gap" -- between slow dial-up and
expensive DSL and cable modem high-speed Internet access.
• The existing fiber that can be built upon.
• Reduction of costs in leasing lines.
• The strong interest expressed by the community in the market research.
Some of the key factors that led the City of Woodbury to decide not to support
building a wireless network are:
• The lack of existing fiber in the community and the large cost to construct a
backbone network.
• The implementation costs.
• The numerous providers and service offerings already available in the
community.
No utility or other city staffing available to oversee the enterprise.
In comparing the demographics of Saint Anthony Village with St. Louis Park, and
Woodbury, we find some similarities and differences between the communities.

As illustrated in Table. 2-5, while Saint Anthony Village is much smaller in
geographic and population size to both St. Louis Park and Woodbury, it closely
mirrors the age groups and median income of the population in St. Louis Park.
Based on these similarities, we are able to draw estimates about potential
Internet usage in Saint Anthony Village based on our research in St. Louis Park.
These estimates are outlined in Tables 2-6 and 2-7.

To supplement the above market research, we discussed connectivity needs with
selected Saint Anthony Village and School District staff. The findings from the
discussions include:
• Elementary, secondary, and post -secondary schools are a good source of
information and have connections and ties throughout the community.
These resources are -beneficial to a city considering any broadband
network or service offering. St. Anthony -New Brighton Independent School
District 282 (District 282) has established leased -fiber and T1 connectivity
to all of its facilities and is active within the Twin Cities to monitor- what
other schools are doing.
o Cost is important to schools. However, as needs to continue to
increase, T1 interconnectivity will no longer serve the education
needs. Many school districts in the US have implemented or are
seeking dedicated connectivity of 1Gbps among their facilities.
o District 2.82 has connected all of their buildings with fiber and is
exploring applications to make use of that connectivity.. One
example includes . investigation of a voice over Internet protocol
(VoIP) telephone system. District 282 is exploring possibly a VolP
system of their own or joining with the 11 other communities who are
using the North Suburban Communications Commission/City of
Roseville Vol P system.
o The staff of District 282 has data access points available within the
school buildings, but do not have mobility to go outside of the
building. For example, a teacher cannot take a class outside or for
2-6

..... ......
fieldwork and still access the network on a laptop. The staff would
like to have that type of mobility.
o District 282 and Saint Anthony Village share some common
interests:
■ Make Internet access available to all, especially lower income
families, at an .affordable rate.
■ Al.low residents/parents access to computers and the Internet,
especially to access grades and lunch menus online as well
as making payments.
o Schools are typically eligible for grant monies and other funding to
explore technology and connectivity if it advances an educational
purpose. Saint Anthony Village may wish to partner with District 282
to explore grants and technology monies that are available to fund a
network and certain applications.
The Saint Anthony Village Police department is taking part in a wireless
project for dispatching in conjunction with Hennepin County, but still hasa
need to access the Internet in the 11 vehicles it owns. The department is
also interested in mobility and accessibility for certain applications, such as
records management. The department also has a need for connectivity
outside of the city limits as it must respond to mutual aid and calls from
Falcon Heights .and Lauderdale.
The two city -owned liquor stores have different types of connectivity. The
Marketplace store is connected to the city's network and has high-speed
Internet access. The Silver Lake Village store does not have any high-
speed Internet access options available and uses dial-up to process
transactions. The manager would like to have electronic point-of-sale
capability, perpetual inventory, and connectivity to the city's financial
system at both store locations.
The Public Works department has several needs that it is looking to meet:
o Automatic meter reading (AMR);
o Mapping/GIS;
o SCADA network improvements to control utilities.
• The Fire department -has expressed . needs to:
o Access databases out in the field from vehicles;
o Conduct field inspections and remotely access the network;
o Transmit video to the emergency room to allow doctors to see the
extent of injuries from the scene;

• The Finance department has expressed needs to:
o Have connectivity to the liquor stores;
o. Upgrade the accounting system;
o Increase the baud rate. -
The Chamber of Commerce reports that local businesses indicate:
o Feeling behind in technology;
o Having troubles with e-mail;
o Needing faster connections for credit card processing.
Local business developers usually admire a city for taking a leadership role
regarding technology and economic development. Due to the lack of high-
speed Internet access options in the Silver Lake Village and St. Anthony
Industrial Park developments, business leaders a-nd developers would
likely support a competitively priced Internet access service offering.
Many residents and businesses are unaware of the capabilities and
applications for high-speed Internet access. Education is a key component
to the success of any network offering.
• Current Internet access users are reluctant to change service providers
unless they are looking for faster speeds at an affordable rate.
2.2 Residential Use and Demand
Based on our market research conducted in St. Louis Park and Woodbury, we
offer the following insights and information about residential use and demand:
• The vast majority of households have at least one computer in the home.
The results have been as high as 90 percent of households surveyed have
computers.
• Of the small percentage of homes without a computer, the most common
reasons for not having a computer are:
o No need;
o Already have access at work, school, or library;
o Don't know how to use a computer;
o Too costly to purchase computer.
• A large majority of households have Internet access — usually more than 80
percent. Many of these households have high-speed Internet access.
• The type of Internet access varies depending upon the availability of high-
speed services (DSL, cable modem, etc.). In areas where there are limited

un
or no high-speed services available, dial-up access is more prevalent. The
most common types of Internet access are via:
o Cable modem;
o Dial-up;
o DSL;
o Satellite;
o Wireless.
The most popular Internet service providers (ISP's) in this area are:
o Cable company (Comcast in Saint Anthony village);
o Qwest;
o AOL;
o Net Zero;
o MS -N; and
o Several others.
• Price is a key factor for residents in determining their willingness to switch
Internet services. Many are interested if a service is offered below $25 per
month, but the willingness to switch drops as the price of the service rises.
• The majority of respondents to recent surveys feel that cities should have a
role in ensuring access to competitively priced Internet connectivity. Some
of the roles mentioned include:
o Make rules to promote competition;
o Install a network and lease to private firms;
o Become a provider of high-speed Internet;
o No role.
When asked about financial support of a possible city -provided wireless
network, the majority are in favor of a network supported on subscriber
revenue only. A much smaller percentage is willing to support a network
using subscriber revenues and tax dollars.
• Some respondents to recent surveys indicate the following concerns
regarding a potential wireless network:
o Security;
o Lack of high-speed options and providers.
2.3 Area Business Use and Demand

following insights and information about business use and demand:
