City 6 Manager Mornson directed Council members to page 14 of the report and reviewed some of the 7 ordinance specifics.

Resolution 075; Reject bid for Foss Road Lift Station. 16 17 Mr. Todd Hubmer, WSB & Associates, presented Resolution 06-075, recommending rejection of 18 all bids for the Foss Road Lift Station and Utility Improvement Project and order plan and 19 specifications incorporated into the 2007 Street Reconstruction Project. 20 21 Mr. Hubmer stated he contacted several contractors opened bids on September 27, 2006. He 22 reported receiving three bids from interested contractors. Mr. Hubmer reported he had an 23 engineer's estimate of just under $900,000. He reported the lowest bid received was for 24 approximately $1,100,000 or $200,000 over the engineer's estimate. Mr. Hubmer recommended 25 Council rejects the bid and includes the Foss Road Lift Station and Utility Improvement Plan 26 into the 2007 Street Reconstruction Project. 27 28 Mr. Hubmer pointed out he contacted the contractors and proposed several changes to attract 29 more contractors to lower the project bid; these included extending the project completion date to 30 the end of June 2007, including additional language to lower contractor costs relative to 31 dewatering, and providing a storage sight for the contractor to store and stage equipment. Mr. 32 Hubmer explained this did not result in lowering the cost. He stated he believes rolling this 33 project into a larger project, would attract more contractor bids. 34 35 Councilmember Horst asked what the City's time line is to complete'the project. 36 37 Mr. Hubmer replied it would be when Pratt breaks ground on the next round of townhouse units. 38 He stated the current lift station has the capacity to support the current requirements. He did not 39 anticipate the start of the Pratt project until spring of 2007 with occupancy beginning in 2008. 40 41 Councilmember Horst asked what the advantage would be to add this into the street project. 42 43 Mr. Hubmer replied the definite benefit would be adding the additional $3,000,000 would make 44 it attractive to contractors. He stated contractors could bring in crews and set them up for several 45 months for better scheduling. 46 City Council Regular Meeting Minutes October 10, 2006 Page 4 1 Councilmember Horst asked if the City would be stuck with whatever the contractor suggests. 2 3 Mr. Hubmer replied the City would be able to negotiate and he anticipates very competitive bids. 4 5 Councilmember Thuesen asked Mr. Hubmer if he saw it as desirable to add this to the street 6 project and would the skill set required to do both be similar. 7 8 Mr. Hubmer replied they are similar, but still need a utility contractor to build the lift station and 9 do the piping work and an electrical contractor to install the system controls. 10 11 Mayor Faust stated this is the second time the Council rejected the bid. He complimented Mr. 12 Hubmer and Mr. Jay Hartman, Public Works Director, for attempting to find a mobilization 13 sight. He expressed better bids are usually obtained in the spring. 14 15 Motion by Councilmember Horst, seconded by Councilmember Gray, to approve Resolution 06- 16 075, a Resolution Rejecting all bids for the Foss Road Lift Station and Utility Improvement 17 Project; and Order Plan and Specifications to be Incorporated into the 2007 Street 18 Reconstruction Project. 19 20 Motion carried unanimously. 21 22 C. Resolution 06=076; Accept the Feasibility Report and order plans and specifications for 23 Highcrest Road and Old Highway8 Sidewalk and Lighting_IMprovements 24 25 Mr. Todd Hubmer made a PowerPoint presentation on resolution 06-076. He reported the 26 recommended improvements would be along the west side of Highcrest Road from 33rd Avenue 27 to 37d' Avenue and along old Highway 8 from 29t` Avenue on the south and north to 33rd 28 Avenue. WE 30 Mr. Hubmer stated the project needs identified were a response to resident concerns, the 31 proximity to schools and parks, and the safety of students walking along the roadways. He 32 pointed out the project would also provide a north/south connection ofi the east side of St. 33 Anthony and it would fulfill the City's mission for a safe, walkable community. 34 35 Mr. Hubmer reported the construction along the west side of Highcrest Road consists of a 36 sidewalk with decorative lighting. He mentioned the City of Roseville expressed no interest in 37 constructing a sidewalk on the east side of Highcrest. He mentioned that residents on the 38 Roseville side, expressed concern for wanting a sidewalk on the west side, as this is where the 39 school is located. Mr. Hubmer used a site map to point out the location of the project 40 improvements. 41 42 Mr. Hubmer reported the cost for the Highcrest Road portion would be about $332,000, and the 43 Old Highway 8 portion at about $348,000 bringing the total to $680,000. He.stated possible 44 funding sources for the project could come from municipal state aid funds, street and utility 45 funds and tax increment financing funds. 4 City Council Regular Meeting Minutes October 10, 2006 Page 5 1 Mr. Hubmer stated the recommendation is to proceed to the final design and incorporate this 2 project into 2007 Street Reconstruction Project. 4 Mr. Hubmer stated if Council decides to move forward, project schedule would be to hold 5 neighborhood meeting in November 2006, approve plans and specifications on November 28, 6 2006 receive bids in December 2006, award the bid in February 2007, begin construction in 7 May 2007 and finish construction in October or November 2007. He mentioned there would be 8 some impacts to residents, such as the removal of trees. 9 10 Councilmember Gray asked if the lighting is consistent with 29t" Avenue. 11 12 Mr. Hubmer replied it would be the same lighting as St. Anthony Boulevard, 29h Avenue and 13 consistent with lighting in St. Anthony Village. 14 15 Mayor Faust asked if the trees removed and the accent lights displayed by residents would be 16 replaced. He also asked about sidewalk width. 17 18 Mr. Hubmer replied these would be replaced. He answered the sidewalk would be six feet wide 19 and at a boulevard it would be five feet wide. 20 21 Mayor Faust asked who was responsible for snow removal and that they would need to 22 coordinate with the school as they are planning to do some fencing. He stated the new principal 23 will need to be contacted so the City is in concert with what the school plans to do. 24 25 Mr. Hubmer stated the snow removal equipment is five feet wide and the Public Works 26 department does snow removal. 27 28 Mayor Faust pointed out there may be a need for a stop sign on the westbound road as people use 29 it as a cut off. 30 31 Mr. Hubmer stated most of the turning movements are to the north with little traffic south of that. 32 33 Motion by Councilmember Thuesen, seconded by Councilmember Gray, to approve Resolution 34 06-076, a Resolution Receiving Report and Ordering Plans and Specifications. 35 36 Motion carried unanimously. 37 38 D.

City Council Regular Meeting Minutes October 10, 2006 Page 6 1 Mr. Hubmer stated the project also provides for the replacement and enlargement of the sanitary 2 sewer main from the intersection of 39th Avenue and Fordham Drive east to Chandler Drive and 3 north on Chandler Drive to Foss Road. 4 5 Mr. Hubmer stated the estimate cost to be $150,000 more than the trenchless technology so there 6 is a good value to replace all the utilities and get a new road, as the road is not in best shape. He 7 pointed out streets are deteriorating, the utilities are 50 years old, there are reoccurring water 8 main breaks, and the sanitary sewer system is deteriorating. 9 10 Mr. Hubmer pointed out on a site map the sanitary sewer system improvements would in the 11 alleys north and south of Pahl Avenue and south of 27th Avenue and from Silver Lake Road to 12 the railroad tracks on 39th Avenue. He pointed trenchiess technology would be used on the east 13 side of the railroad tracks along Chandler Drive and through the parking lot of the Old Dutch 14 site. 15 16 Mr. Hubmer used a site map to point out water main improvements include replacing the water 17 mains at 27a' Avenue, Pahl Avenue, Coolidge Street and 39th Avenue. He reported the current 18 six-inch mains with eight -inch water mains. 19 20 Mr. Hubmer reported the storm sewer would be replaced in the alley south of Pahl Avenue and 21 27t" Avenue and Paul Avenue and the alleys north and south to get the drainage into pipes rather 22 than running along the edges of the sidewalks. 23 24 Mr. Hubmer reported proposed improvements along 3901 Avenue to address the flooding issues 25 with new catch basins at each intersection. 26 27 Mr. Hubmer broke down the project costs at $1,419,590 for street reconstruction, $599,380 for 28 sanitary sewer improvements, $540,750 for water main improvements and $375, 260 for storm 29 sewer improvements, bringing the total opinion of probable cost to $2,934,980. 30 31 Mr. Hubmer stated proposed funding sources would be assessments such as 35 percent road and 32 storm sewer to the resident sewer and a $400 water connection fee, the 429 Public Improvement 33 Bond, tax increment funds and water, sewer and storm water funds. 34 35 Mr. Hubmer recommends Council accept the feasibility report, order preparation of plans and 36 specs; incorporate the Foss Road Lift Station and the 2007 sidewalk improvements into the 2007 37 street improvement project. 38 39 Mr. Hubmer stated should the project be approved the recommended schedule would include 40 holding neighborhood meetings in November, approving plans and specs on November 28, 41 receiving bids in December 2006, awarding bids in February 2007, beginning construction May 42 2007 and completing construction in October or November 2007. 43 44 Mayor Faust asked why Mr. Hubmer recommended going from a six inch to an eight -inch pipe 45 for the sanitary sewer. 46 City Council Regular Meeting Minutes October 10, 2006 Page 7 1 Mr. Hubmer replied the water main would go from a six inch to an eight inch main. He replied 2 the sanitary sewer for the most part would be an eight inch except on 39th Avenue where it would 3 be a 12 inch main and a trunk sanitary on Chandler would be an 18 inches. . 4 5 Mayor Faust asked if this ties in with the flood project. 6 7 Mr. Hubmer stated it did. He explained the old theory is that at the time the City was built, the 8 nine inch was sold at the same price as the eight inch so that is what was put in at the time. He 9 stated the capacity of an eight -inch main is all that is needed. 10 11 Mayor Faust asked Mr. Hubmer to talk about relining this year. 12 13 Mr. Hubmer stated there are many sags in the line so it makes sense to do it correctly. 14 15 Motion by Councilmember Gray, seconded by Councilmember Thuesen, to approve Resolution 16 06-077, a Resolution Receiving Report and Ordering Plans and Specifications. 17 18 Motion carried unanimously. 19 20 E. Resolution 06-078; Award bid for Automatic Water Meters and UI Reduction Program. 21 22 Mr. Hubmer reported the solicitation of bids went out for the replacement of water meters. He 23 stated the low bidder was National Waterworks, Inc. of Eden Prairie, MN, with an estimate of 24 $588,681.28 for Fixed Base Automated Meter Reading (FBAMR) and $595,836.59 for Drive -By 25 Automated Meter Reading (DBAMR). Mr. Hubmer made the Council aware of a maintenance 26 fee of $825 per month to maintain the infrastructure so the City would get the readings it needed. 27 He pointed out one of the great things about this system is no need to leave the building as 28 everything would be monitored remotely from anywhere for all residents. He stated residents 29 could find out what was going on inside their homes, as this would be available on line. 30 31 Mr. Hubmer introduced Mr. Todd Bredison and Mr. Paul Thom, National Waterworks to 32 describe the program. Mr. Bredison and Mr. Thom presented data from a test sight in Florida, 33 indicating how the system takes customer service to a new level. 34 35 Mayor Faust asked if residents could call it up on the website. 36 37 Mr. Bredison replied information would be available on a City server, residents would not have 38 access to the secure site; however, the City could monitor authorized customer access. 39 40 Mayor asked if it would be in real time to the resident. 41 42 Mr. Bredison it would not be in real time, but probably only a few hours delay. He stated some 43 alarms could be set up, but recommended the City not take on the liability of that type of system. 44 He mentioned times could be pin pointed when water usage spikes. 45 Commissioner Horst asked what the transmission mechanism is from the home. 46 7 City Council Regular Meeting Minutes October 10, 2006 Page 8 1 Mr. Bredison stated the water meter would be direct wired to a radio transmitter that would read 2 the data, immediately transferred it to the server, and backed up to a secure server. 3 4 Commissioner Horst asked what powered the radio transmitters. 5 6 Mr. Bredison replied batteries warranted for 20 years power them. 7 8 Commissioner Gray asked what the downside for this system versus a drive by. 9 10 Mr. Bredison replied the new version is a licensed band to the City that transmits farther out with 11 significantly better performance and a better infrastructure. 12 13 Commissioner Gray asked Mr. Hubmer about the bids that appeared to favor drive-by 14 technology over hardwires. 15 16 Mr. Humber replied it was because they did not have the technology. He stated if the drive by 17 were needed the City could purchase it. Mr. Hubmer stated, for $800 per month, the City would 18 see a number of efficiencies. 19 20 Commissioner Horst asked that as part of the installation to make sure it worked correctly. 21 22 Mr. Bredison stated the installation tool sends out a transmission to make sure it works the first 23 time via GPS. 24 25 Mayor asked where National Waterworks is headquartered. 26 27 Mr. Bredison replied it is located in Eden Prairie, MN. 28 29 Mayor Faust stated once the routing system is set up the City could realize a savings could be 30 immediately. 31 32 Motion by Councilmember Gray, seconded by Councilmember Thuesen, to approve Resolution 33 06-078, a Resolution Awarding a Bid for 2006 Automated Water Meter Improvements and 34 Appurtenant Work to National Waterworks Inc. of Eden Prairie, MN for the Fixed Base 35 Automated Meter Reading System. 36 37 City Manager Mornson asked Mr. Hubmer to discuss schedule for residents. 38 39 Mr. Hubmer displayed the project schedule: November 2006, present process to Council; 40 November 2006, notify residents of the process; December 2006, schedule appointments; 41 January 2007, begin water meter replacements and UI inspections; March 2007, complete meter 42 replacements and inspections, March -May 2007, I/I compliance follow-up and June 1, 2007, I/I 43 non-compliance fee of $100 per month begins. 44 45 Motion carried unanimously. 46 8 City Council Regular Meeting Minutes October 10, 2006 Page 9 1 Mr. Hubmer introduced Mr. Brett Weise, President WSB and Mayor Faust expressed his 2 pleasure with the work of Mr. Hubmer.

County staff must obtain the County Manager's written approval to change the budget once the agreement is signed. • Creative and innovative ideas are encouraged! Do not let these guidelines limit your ideas. However, if you would like to use SCORE funds for a project that does not seem to fit the guidelines, please talk to County staff first to make sure you have the funding support you need for a successful project. Equipment: All equipment must remain the property of the Municipality.

Collection will be bi-weekly for the duration of the pilot program. 3. How will the municipality assure that all recyclables collected from residential properties are recycled, whether collected by the municipality's contracted vendor or another service provider?

City's electronic marquis sign-- Upcoming information on recycling events is posted on the City's sign.

This information is also easily available to anyone else who comes in. The City also organizes and promotes an annual Spring Clean -Up day. The Recycling Coordinator works with the local newspapers and community groups to encourage and maintain recycling efforts throughout the City. The City has been working with Ramsey County on source reduction efforts citywide. Because the City is in two counties, only those residents that live in Ramsey County are able to use the yard waste sites. Residents that live in Hennepin County cannot access the Ramsey County yard waste sites need to take their yard waste to sites in Hennepin County. Both agencies are in the process of negotiating and approving a joint powers agreement whereby Hennepin County residents of St. Anthony are permitted to flake their yard waste to Ramsey County sites. 7.

We expect to see an increase of 15% in the amount of curbside recyclable materials collected. We also anticipate an increase in participation due to redevelopment activities occurring in the area of the former Apache Plaza site. How will the municipality monitor or audit activities conducted by any contractors or subcontractors? City Staff will review the monthly tonnage and participation reports that are required to be submitted by the residential haulers that work in St. Anthony. The information provided by theses reports is also used to complete the annual SCORE grant reports submitted to the County. 21 B. SCORE GRANT REQUEST 1.

ATTEST: Mayor City Clerk Review for Administration: City Manager 24 STAFF REPORT To: Planning Commission From: Kim Moore -Sykes, Assistant City Manager Date: Subject: October 17, 2006. Report No.: VII.1 Electronic Gas Price Display Sign — Mobil Service Station, 2801 Kenzie Terrace Requested Action: Date Application Received.: Property Address: Zoning District: 60 -Day Expires: Ordinance Language Change to Chapt: 14 Si is September 19, 2006 2801 Kenzie Terrace Commercial N/A* Waiver Letter, Required:. ._Yes Date Sent; X No *Action on this application scheduled for three readings with the City Council as per requited by the City Ordinance. Chapter 14 is not part of the City's Zoning Code, therefore is not subject to the Minnesota 60 -Day Rule. Background: Staff was contacted by Mr. Roger Bona, owner of the Mobil Service Station at 2801 Kenzie Terrace, about the process for submitting a request to install electronic gas price sign. I& Bona was advised that electronic signs are not permitted for any districts except signs in the Recreational/Open Space District located on property owned by the City, or Independent School District 282. Mr. Bona indicated that because the gas prices are constantly changing, it is difficult at times to keep up with the fluctuations. He said this has been especially true during the winter months. The plastic numbers are brittle and more difficult to attach to the pylon sign and using a ladder is a dangerous proposition in the winter. In past years, the prices were stable for the most part but recently it has not been unusual to have them fluctuate several times in one week. He is concerned with the frequency with which bis staff is requited to manually change the gas prices. Staff was asked to determine what other Minnesota communities allowed gas statiohs to have electronic changeable price signs. Staff found several, cities that allow electronic gas price display signs, including Shoreview, New Brighton, Columbia Heights and Watertown. Coon Rapids allows changeable copy for illuminated signs and the City of Bloomington is considering an ordinance that separates various types of electronic signs into four (4) categories to establish development standards unique for each sign type. Action: Provide recommendation to the City Council bn �;rhether or not to pursue language change to Chapter 14, the City's sign ordinance, regarding the permitting of electronic gas price display signs. Because this proposed change is not a change to the City's Zoning Ordinance, the City Council will hold three readings for the proposed language change: Attachments: • Letter and attachments from Mr. Bona. •. . Copy of proposed language change to Chapter 14 Signs, Sections 1400.07 and 1400.12.

Based on input from the City Council and a Focus Group comprised sign industry professionals, staff has prepared a draft ordinance that would regulate the operational characteristics of electronic changing message and video display signs. The proposed ordinance is attached. BACKGROUND The City Council approved a three-month moratorium on rune 19, 2006 on certain display signs including rapidly changing image and animation displays. The City Council will be considering extension of the moratorium at its September 11, 2006 meeting. The Council directed staff to create new standards related to these types of signs. Staff performed a nation-wide literature review of traffic studies, policy documents, and zoning ordinances relating to electronic message boards. On August 23, 2006 staff convened a Focus Group comprised of sign industry professionals to gather input on a draft version of the proposed ordinance. OBJECTIVES This ordinance aims to mi imizd and mitigate the level of distraction from: electronic signs to both motorists and residential areas. Different types of electronic signs present varying levels of distraction to motorists and must be regulated accoxdingly. Care is also taken to minimize the visual impacts and commercial nature of electronic signs on residential and conservation areas. -ANALYSIS Advanced electronic outdoor display signs have become more technologically advanced and less costly. The advanced technology, particularly with respect to the more practical and economical light emitting diode (LED) video display signs, has the ability to produce electronic displays that rival. photographs and television programs in quality and clarity. Report to the Planning Commission Planning and Economic Development Division 32 September 14, 2006 Case # IOOOOD-06 Page 4.3 Electronic message boards The proposed ordinance separates electronic message boards into four categories: changeable copy sign (electronic), electronic graphic display sign, video display signs, and time and temperature signs. As summarized below, the disparate nature of these sign types require development standards unique to each sign type. Changeable_ copy sign, electronic Text -only electronic -displays, typically used to advertise has prices at service stations. The proposed ordinance limits the amount of text displayed at one time to'improve readability by motorists. Each electronic m6ssage'must be displayed for a minimum of eight seconds; no portion of the message may flash, scroll, or in any manner imitate movement. Electronic graphic display sign — Electronic sign displaying both text and pictorial images. These signs have the technical capability to display high-quality, photo -like images in addition to text information. Due to the potential for greater distraction with this type of sign, each electronic message -must be displayed for a minimum of twenty minutes; no portion of the message may flash, scroll, or in any manner imitate movement. Video display sign — Electronic sign whose display is characterized by motion and pictorial imagery. These signs may possess the ability to display television -like images and programs. Time and temperature sign — Electronic sign displaying only time and temperature information. Each electronic message must be displayed for a minimum of two seconds; no portion of the message may flash, scroll, or in any manner imitate movement. Official signs and notices are exempt from the proposed ordinance. These signs are address in the existing sign code and defined as: "Official signs and notices - ' signs and notices erected and maintained by public officers or public agencies within their territorial jurisdiction and pursuant to and in accordance with direction or authorization contained in federal, state, or local law for the purposes of carrying out an official duty or responsibility. Historical markers -authorized by state law and erected by state or local governmental agencies or nonprofit historical societies and star city signs erected under Section 173.085 may be considered official signs." The following table represents- the percentage range of motorists who would view a message change on an electronic sign based on the time frequency of change and its visibility: 8 seconds 20 minutes 60 minutes Percent of passing motorists who would see sign change 4' + 10 seconds 100% 1.7% 0.6% 20 seconds 100% 3.3% IA% 30 seconds 100% 5% 1.7% Report to the Planning Commission September 14, 2006 Division of City Planning 33.

Z) ArIqwjnRWincss a qat„ As a part of normal business operations, St. Anthony Mobil needs to change gas prices on the sign. During the last three (3) winters we have experience changes in the weather that have prevented us from changing the gas prices. Increasing instances where rain, snow, and wind mix 4uring the winter months has cause excessive ice build. -up on the current gas price sign. The ice buil&up disallows the changing pole suction cup to grip' the digits for removal and installation, Lacking the ability to change gas prices directly affects our ability to competitively operate our business. . 3.1 Deizultion of Slggage.

Gilligan DATE: October 3, 2006 RE: Amendment of City Code to With Respect to Closure of Manufactured Home parks Minnesota Statutes, Section 327C.095, sets forth requirements to be followed by the owner of a manufactured home park to close all or a portion of the park or to convert it to another use. This statute requires that the Planning Commission review the closure statement required to be given by the owner to the park residents, and the City Council to hold a public hearing to review the closure statement and any impact that the park closing may have on displaced residents and the park owner. Under the statute the City may require that reasonable relocation costs be paid to displaced residents. It is being proposed that the City Council adopt an ordinance pursuant to the authority contained in Minnesota Statutes, Section 327C.095, which provides for payment by the owner to the resident of relocation costs for relocating a manufactured home to a manufactured home park located within a 25 mile radius, and for alternate compensation if the resident cannot relocate the manufactured home to a park within 25 miles. Such alternate compensation will be either the purchase by the owner of the home at its estimated market value, or payment by the owner to the resident of -the average of the relocation costs awarded to other residents of the park. The resident has the option to choose which alternate compensation it is to receive. Providing for alternate compensation allows a displaced resident who is unable to relocate or doesn't want to relocate, the ability to sell his manufactured home at its appraised value. The proposed ordinance provides for certain remedies if the owner fails to comply with the requirements of the ordinance, including withholding building permits for the reuse of the park if the required relocation costs and alternate compensation is not paid by the owner, and provides that any land use approvals by the City in connection with the reuse of the park shall be conditioned on the compliance with the ordinance requirements. If the City does not adopt this ordinance, a resident would only be entitled to relocation costs under the statute if the resident's manufactured home cannot be relocated to another park within a 25 -mile radius. The adoption of the ordinance allows a resident to also receive relocation costs if the home is relocated within a 25 -mile radius of the park, and the option to elect to have the home purchased at its estimated market value if the resident is unable to relocate the home within a 25 -mile radius of the closed park. The City is authorized to require such payments under the provisions of Minnesota Statutes, Section 327C.095.

As authorized by Minnesota statutes (2001), the Minnesota State Retirement System established and was charged with administering a health care savings plan (HCSP) for public employees who, through their employer, may save pre-tax dollars to cover future post employment health care expenses. The one stipulation of this plan that proved problematic for City staff was a mandatory participation requirement by the IRS regulations. Because of the high interest of employees, non-union employees were surveyed to determine their interest in participating in an HCSP. The results showed that non-union employees liked the concept but few voted for the HCSP because of the mandatory participation requirement that was included in the State's health care savings plan. Without proper support, a health care savings plan could not be implemented. Staff then reviewed other State compliant health care saving plans and found that ICMA, who administers the City's deferred compensation plan, also has an HCSP that allows a city to essentially establish their own plan in compliance with State and IRS regulations. While the State's HCSP requires 100% employee agreement to participate before a plan can be established, ICMA is more flexible regarding the mandatory participation stipulation. The ICMA HCSP can be organized in a manner that allows employees to enroll in the plan when it is suitable to their individual circumstance. Once they have elected to enroll, the amount the employee has designated to be deducted as pre-tax contributions from their paycheck and their membership status cannot be changed until he/she terminates employment with the City, either through retirement or voluntary termination. ICMA has reviewed and approved the attached health care savings plan. Recommendation: Council approves Resolution 06-080 authorizing participation in the VANTAGECARE Retirement Health Care Savings Plan.

ANTHONY PLAN TO BEGIN ON JANUARY 1, 2007. The City of St. Anthony is interested in establishing a means for eligible employees to participate in a program to help defray some of the costs of post employment health related expenses using pre-tax dollars as allowed under IRS Regulations. The participation in a Post Employment Health Savings Care Plan (HCSP) is intended to provide an opportunity to accomplish that goal. The VANTAGECARE Retirement Health Savings Plan is an employer-sponsored program that allows eligible employees to participate in a Post Employment Health Care Savings Plan. The plan will be administered by ICMA Retirement Corporation (ICMA-RC) as allowed under Minnesota state statute #352.98. The plan will allow eligible employees to: 1. Defer a portion of an employee's bi-weekly salary for deposit into the HCSP for the payment of eligible health insurance premiums and/or healthcare related expenses after the separation of service from the City of St. Anthony. 2. At the time of termination, defer payment of a portion or all of an employee's severance payment for the payment of eligible health insurance premiums and/or healthcare expenses after the separation of service from the City of St. Anthony. For the purpose of this health care. savings plan, severance payments are subject to the City's Policy on termination. 3.

For the purpose of the plan, irrevocable means that during an employees' employment they may not change their election (increase/decrease the election) or discontinue their participation in the post retirement health care savings plan. . EMPLOYEES WHO ARE ELIBILE TO WITHDRAW BENEFITS: Employees are eligible to draw from their account for eligible expenses under the following circumstances: • Separation of service from the City. • Retire from active City employment. • If the employee is collecting a disability benefit from PERA. • If the employee is on a medical leave longer than 6 months. • If the employee is on a leave of absence over one year.
