22
23 Councilmember Gray asked if the ordinance was different from the cities researched.

26 would not exceed 25% of the purchase price, whereas most cities are at 20%.

29

15 B. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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

13 side of the railroad tracks along Chandler Drive and through the parking lot of the Old Dutch
14 site.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

from one budget area to another, replacing a project in the budget with a new one, etc.), but
requests to do so must be made in writing. 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.

for a successful project.

2.a. How will the municipality assure materials are collected in 2007 from those households that will
not receive recycling_ collection services under a municipally arranged contract? (For example:
ordinance provisions, licensing requirements, etc.)
By City Ordinance, residential haulers are required to provide curbside recycling services to
single-family residential customers at no additional cost.
It should be noted that the City's Ordinance has been changed and requires recycling
services for multiple family residences units.

Recyclable items that are required by ordinance to be collected include newspapers, glass,
plastic bottles, aluminum cans and tin cans.
2.c. What is the collection frequency? (If frequency is different based on type of housing, please .

Previously, the City ordinance required a weekly collection schedule for recyclable materials. .
At the September 26' 2006 Council meeting, the City Council approved a single -sort recycling pilot
program that sunsets on December 31, 2007. 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?
As a part of the licensing process, the residential haulers are required to state on the application
what facility(ies) they haul refuse and recyclable materials to.
4. What changes are planned or anticipated for 2007?
See #2.c., Single -sort recycling pilot program. Also, the city gained 100% compliance with the
County's multiple family recycling policies. The City also approved changes to the ordinance requiring

The City's General Fund.

printed materials, other media, or events; intended audiences; method and frequency of

City newsletter, Village /Votes, published quarterly -- St. Anthony residents and businesses are the

City Cable Channel 16 -- information related to recycling is posted on CTV Channel 16 on the
Community's Bulletin Board. St. Anthony residents are the intended audience.
City's electronic marquis sign-- Upcoming information on recycling events is posted on the City's
sign. The intended audience is the residents, but others using Silver Lake Road will also benefit from
the information.
20
In addition, the City has flyers available in the City Hall information rack and handouts are given to
new residents when they come in to pick up their recycling bins. 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. What measurable goals do you have for waste reduction and recycling activities in 2007? At
least ONE measurable goal must be listed. Please describe how you will measure progress
toward those goals and how activities will be evaluated.
The City will be monitoring the progress of the single -sort recycling pilot program through monthly
tonnage and participation reports. 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.

*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.
Copies of ordinance language from Shoreview, Watertown, Bloomington, Coon Rapids, New Brighton and

Case 10000D-06
Request: Amend City Code to Establish New Electronic Message Board, Vehicle Sign, Video
Display Sign, and Time and Temperature Sign Standards
PROPOSAL
Based on Council member concerns the City's existing sign regulations do not adequately control the
variety of commercially available electronic changeable message signs, particularly in light of the
constantly evolving technology, the City Council directed that new standards be created to address
changeable message and image signs. 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.

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:

New Gas Price Sign
�.�&O-M, t'Sa%t
Changing the digits on the current gas price sign can be dangerous. Dtiring colder
temperatures or windy conditirns the hard plastic digits, with sharp edges, oan.be
released from the changing pole succi -on cups, Falling digits can and have caused minor
contusions and lacerations.
The retail gasoline market as changed drastically the last couplo of years.' Historically,
gas: prices were changed on average I to 2 times per week. The tifiies in which we live
have brought about gas price changes almost daily. This allows more opporttinities-for
employees to ;be working in an unsafe environment.
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.
Under St. Antho'ny.Village City Ordinance Chapter 1400, Section. 4, Subsections & and 8,
the current gas price sign fox St. Anthony Mobil can be classified as the following.

copy, letters or symbols, •regardleiss of method of atta6hmeat.
« electric Sign. Any sign containing electrical wiring but not inolu4g signs
illuminated by an, exterior light source.
The proposed sign carr also be classified under these same heading. The proposed sign
would have changeable .letters and symbols, and would contai-u electrical wiring. The
only illumination would be the gas prices. The proposed sign is incapable of changing

MEMORANDUM
TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council
Michael Morrison, City Manager
FROM: Jerome P. 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.

STAFF REPORT
To: City Council Report No.: VI, C
From: Kim Moore -Sykes, Assistant City Manager
Date: October 24, 2006
Subject: Health Care Savings Plan (HCSP)
Background: Because of the high cost of post -employment and retirement medical insurance, non-
union City staff members asked that the City consider providing non-union employees with an
opportunity to establish an employee -paid health care savings plan.
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.
