The City Council wanted to see how well the community accepted this change in collecting recyclables, if this method was efficient in its collection of recyclables and effective in maintaining or increasing recycling efforts within the community. Because a number of metro -area communities had implemented this method of collecting recycling, the City Council asked as part of this pilot program for staff to investigate many of the claims before approving a permanent single -sort recycling program. Council wanted staff to review tonnage amounts collected and compare those amounts collected by the dual -sort collection method, a method traditionally used by the City; provide the residents information about single -sort recycling; get feedback from the residents using single -sort recycling; and flush out issues that need to be addressed in a single -sort recycling ordinance. " • Review and Compare Tonnage Amounts. 2007 (thru August): Single -Sort Recycling Collection method: 470.8 tons of recyclables 2005 (thru August) Dual -Sort Recycling Collection method: 479.8 tons of recyclables The tonnages from 2005 were used because one of the haulers had begun using single -sort recycling method in 2006, prior to Council's temporary approval of single -sort collection. According to the above comparison, the amounts collected by they two methods are roughly comparable at the same point in the year. Educate and Inform the Residents about Single Sort Recycling. Staff and representatives from Allied Waste, Walter's and Waste Management advised the City Council that they would provide residents and customers with information regarding single -sort recycling. Council also requested that residents be provided information about the new recycling bins and the various sizes available to meet their needs. Staff provided information to the residents through the City's newsletter and personal requests for information. Solicit Feedback from Residents Using Single Sort Recycling. In the 2007 Summer City Newsletter, staff asked residents to report their experiences with single -sort recycling. A special email address specifically for this question was established. Staff received an overwhelming amount of emails from residents stating their support for continuing the single- sort recycling method of collecting recyclables. Many stated its convenience as the primary reason for continuing it. The residents defined convenience in two ways: One container for all recyclables reduced time spent sorting and only one container had to be Staff Single Sort Recycling final reading rolled to the end of the driveway. Staff estimates they received more than 50 responses in favor of 15 continuing single -sort, several of which are on file should Council want to review them. Some residents voiced concerns about the possibility of broken glass mixing with paper to be recycled. Staff received one emailed response from a hauler advising that they have not received any complaints from their mills regarding glass shards in the paper. Another hauler verbally indicated that they also have not received any complaints about glass. Other residents commented favorably on the reduction of trips the trucks are making on the City streets; a few also commented on the welcomed reduction in the noise and fuel smell in the air. Action: The City's single -sort recycling pilot program ordinance was approved on September 26, 2006 after the requisite three (3) readings and with a sunset date of December 31, 2007. Therefore, staff is presenting this Ordinance for Council consideration.

Assistant City Manager Moore -Sykes replied multi -family units are required to recycle. 9 Ms. Torre Heiland, Municipal Marketing Manager, Waste Management, replied that 10 commercially it is up to the City Ordinance if they are included. She reported that Waste 11 Management offers recycling containers for paper and cardboard and another for other recycled 12 items. She stated there is a contract between the apartments and the townhome associations and 13 the waste hauler. 14 15 Mayor Faust asked why an apartment or townhome would not want single sort recycling. 16 17 Mr. Eric Sederstrom, Operations Manager, Walters Recycling and Refuse, Inc. replied they have 18 a hard time keeping the garbage out of the recycle. He stated they have struggled with this. 19 20 Councilmember Horst questioned whether the hauler could site a homeowner for contaminating 21 recycle bins with garbage. Mr. Sederstrom stated from his experience this is hard to do in 22 apartment or townhome complexes where it is hard to know who put garbage in with recycling. 23 24 Mr. Sederstrom commented that a homeowner would be notified if garbage was contaminating 25 the recycle and the hauler would not pick it up. 26 27 Councilmember Horst stated that as a new townhome owner, he noticed the recycling bins. 28 29 Mayor Faust asked all the haulers would provide single -sort recycling if an apartment or 30 condominium complex wanted it. He commented that it is really a case of accountability by the 31 apartment or condominium residents to recycle appropriately. 32 33 Mr. Sederstrom replied that was correct. IIe stated in many communities, multi dwellings are 34 requiring the residents to recycle. 35 36 Mayor Faust questioned why the single -sort is resulted in less tonnage than dual sort. 37 38 Ms. Heiland replied participation rate had increased by 20%; however, they have lost homes, so 39 she could not really answer why the tonnage was low. 40 41 Mr. Sederstrom stated he was amazed at the tonnage results. He stated St. Anthony has always 42 had about a 98% response rate. He commented that perhaps the reporting formulas used 43 previously were not as accurate as they are now. 44 17 City Council Regular Meeting Minutes October 9, 2007 Page 5 Motion by Councilmember Horst, seconded by Councilmember Gray, to approve Ordinance 07- 005, an Ordinance approving Chapter 555 of the City Ordinance, Single Sort Recycling, First Reading.

In joining this organization, the City of St. Anthony initially paid $5,000. The $5,000 was paid because it was only for six months. In 2003 we paid $10,000 and from 2004 to 2007 we paid $12,500 per year. A memo from Roger Larson, Finance Director explains the payments in more detail that is included in the packet. In September 2002, GMHC staff and City staff discussed a revolving loan program. This program would give residents the opportunity to make improvements to homes. The City Council approved the use of $100,000 of HRA funds for the Housing Redevelopment Program. The housing Resource Center charged a 10% administration fee and loaned out the remaining $90,000. Resolution 07-072 authorizes the $12,500 to have GMHC continue the consultant agreement for 2008 and provides $60,000 to be use for two programs, $30,000 for a Revolving Loan Fund and $30,000 for a Rehabilitation Incentive Rebate Program. Staff GMHC mike 22 MEMORANDUM DATE: October 31, 2007 TO: Mike Mornson, City Manager FROM: Roger Larson, Finance Director ITEM: GREATER METROPOLITAN IIOUSING CORPORATION In September 2002, the City of St. Anthony entered into an agreement with the Greater Metropolitan Housing Corporation (GMHC) to administer the City's housing rehabilitation program. The initial funding that was allocated to GMI-IC was $100,000.00 ($90,000.00 was dedicated for the Revolving Loan Program and $10,000 covered administration costs for GMHC administering the loan pool). Since the City had no track record or knowledge of how successful the program would be, funding was approved in three increments. A review of St. Anthony's payments made to GMI IC and their administrative fees are as follows: Revolving Loan program 10% - Administrative Fees Total payment 2002 - $27,000.00 $ 3,000.00 $ 30,000.00 2004 - $36,000.00 $ 4,000.00 $ 40,000.00 2006 - $27,000.00 $ 3,000.00 $ 30,000.00 $90,000.00 $10,000.00 $100,000.00 In addition, St. Anthony entered into a Consultant Services Contract with GMHC to provide St. Anthony residents with rehabilitation advisory services, information, loan administration and referral services through the Ilousing Resource Center Northeast. GMHC helps homeowners identify and prioritize home improvement projects. A construction manager assists with the process including; home inspection, financing, bidding the project, providing information on licensed contractors and oversight of the work in progress. A review of the consultant services payments is as follows: Consultant Services Contract 2002 - $ 5,000.00 2003 - $10,000.00 2004 - $12,500.00 2005 - $12,500.00 2006 - $12,500.00 2007 - $12,500.00 $65,000.00 23 A second program administered by GMHC is the Rehab Incentive/Rebate Program that was started in 2002 with $45,000.00 from Minnesota Housing Finance Agency. This program rebates a maximum of $3,000.00 to St. Anthony homeowners who qualify. These funds are grants, are not paid back and not part of the Revolving Loan Program. The initial funding was awarded because of an application GHMC submitted on behalf of several suburban communities. As a result of the program's success, most of the funds were expended by mid -2005. At that time, GMHC requested that $10,000.00 be transferred from the Revolving Loan Program into the Rehab hncentive/Rebate Program As of this date, both programs have been very successful. Presently, GMHC has enough funds on hand to balance both programs. However, to move forward they are requesting and additional $60,000.00 from the City to continue its support of the programs. GMHC has indicated that $30,000 would go into the Revolving Loan Program and $30,000 for the Rehab Incentive/Rebate Program. In addition, GMHC is proposing extension of the Consultant Services Contract at $12,500.00 per year. Going forward, this fee would cover consultant services and administration of the Revolving Loan Fund, the Rehab Incentive/Rebate programs. hn reviewing funding options, the appropriation could be made from the HRA Projects Fund (the initial $100,000 was funded by this same fund). 40 GREATER METROPOLITAN HOUSING CORPORATION 15 South Fifth Street, Suite 710 • Minneapolis, MN 55402 phone: (612) 339-0601 • fax: (612) 339-0608 www.gmhchousing.org Date: November 1, 2007 To: Michael Morrison, City Manager From: Suzanne Snyder, Program Director Ile: Housing Programs and Services for St. Anthony Residents Since 2002, the Greater Metropolitan Housing Corporation has partnered with the City of St. Anthony to provide housing programs and services to St. Anthony residents through the HousingResource Center"'" - Northeast.

The Road Reconstruction Task Force was comprised of 10 residents who reside on concrete streets, along with two representatives of the City Council, the Public Works Director, and the City Lngineer. The purpose of the'rask Force was to determine how the concrete streets within St. Anthony Village would be reconstructed. The'rask Force defined a number of parameters affecting the decision to reconstruct existing concrete streets with either concrete or asphalt. The parameters included appearance, function, and cost associated with replacing existing concrete sheets with concrete or asphalt. Throughout the five meetings, a number of issues associated with both material types were evaluated, discussed, and a recommendation developed for the City Council's consideration. The Task Force clearly indicated a preference to replace the existing concrete streets with new concrete streets, but acknowledges the significant hurdle associated with the increase in capital cost associated with construction of new concrete streets. The Road Reconstruction Task Force feels that the combination of asphalt and concrete streets within St. Anthony Village has added character to the Village and desires to have the Council give consideration to the alternative they have selected to allow them to maintain concrete streets. The attached report provides a history and summary of Task Force findings and their recommendation to the Council for consideration. I will present these findings at the November 13, 2007, Council meeting. lh K11626-031AdminlDocslM/iA90-SoeerRecoulask!•brce-103107.doc 33 34 St. Anthony Village Street Reconstruction Task Force Findings November 13, 2008 35 TABLE Or CONTENTS 1.

Recommendations....................................................................................................................6 Street Reconstruction Task Force Findings Report November 13, 2008 WSB Project No. 1626-03 36 History and Background The City of St. Anthony has had a street improvement program in place since approximately 1992. The focus of the City's street reconstruction program to date has been on the bituminous streets within the Village. The decision to which streets are reconstructed is based on a number of factors, including the existing condition of pavements, utilities, and correction of existing flooding problems within the Village. Nearly all of the bituminous streets within the City of St. Anthony Village have been reconstructed. Although there do remain a number of bituminous streets which still need to have reconstruction and utility improvements made, the majority of the remaining streets within St. Anthony to be reconstructed consist of concrete pavement. The City Council of St. Anthony Village has, on a number of occasions, including goal setting sessions in 2005, 2006, and 2007, discussed the anticipation of reconstructing concrete streets within St. Anthony Village. City staff and Council have expressed concerns associated with the financial, aesthetic, and other potential effects of reconstructing the concrete streets in the Village. In 2007, the City Council amended the City's existing policy to state that existing concrete streets would be reconstructed using asphalt. This decision was based on bid alternates received for replacing 39t" Avenue with concrete vs. the asphalt alternative, the available funding, and construction schedule for the 2007 street reconstruction project, sanitary sewer and Foss Road lift station improvements. Following this change, a couple of residents raised concerns associated with the City deciding to reconstruct all concrete streets within St. Anthony Village with asphalt. In view of these concerns, the Council established a Street Reconstruction Task Force to further discuss the issue, evaluate the impacts of reconstructing concrete streets with concrete or asphalt, and to develop a recommendation to the City Council for their consideration. The Street Reconstruction Task Force was formed in the spring of 2007, and had a total of five meetings over the summer months. This Task Force was comprised of 10 citizen representatives, all of whom reside on concrete streets, two Council representatives, the Public Works Director, and the City Engineer. Street Reconstruction Task Force Findings Report Page 1 November 13, 2008 WSB Project No. 1626-03 37 II. Summary of Task Force Meetings The Street Reconstruction Task Force met five times over the summer of 2007. A summary of each of the meetings is provided below: 1. May 17, 2007 This was an introductory meeting of the Street Reconstruction Task Force to review the existing City policies and assessment process. This meeting also defined issues and topics for future meeting discussions, and discussed the future meeting dates. 2. Jute 18, 2007 Meeting No. 2 consisted of a bus tour of the City streets with Mike Rief, a pavement expert from W SB & Associates, Inc., to evaluate the existing conditions of St. Anthony's pavement, and to answer questions associated with pavement design and various failure mechanisms of pavements as inquired by 'fask Force members. Following the bus tour, Mr. Rief provided an explanation ofthe various differences between the pavements, the intrinsic values of both pavements, and the theory behind the selection of asphalt and concrete pavements that engineers utilize when designing streets. Furthermore, Mr. Rief responded to a number of questions from the Task Force members in regard to the performance of each pavement. There was also a brief discussion on the asphalt vs. concrete financial comparison and a discussion on the information to be provided at the next meeting. 3. August 13, 2007 Meeting No. 3 began with a review of the bus tour and discussion of the pavement comparison, as presented by Mr. Rief at Meeting No. 2. At this meeting a mock assessment was prepared and discussed, comparing the various alternatives of constructing roads with asphalt and concrete, and also alternatives associated with funding percentages for assessment and city portion of the reconstruction budget. The Task Force also discussed the ongoing maintenance and repair costs associated with concrete and asphalt pavement. The meeting closed with a discussion on additional information to be prepared for Meeting No. 4. Street Reconstruction Task Force Findings Report Page 2 November 13, 2008 WSB Project No. 1626-03 4. September 17, 2007 Meeting No. 4 reviewed various financial options associated with reconstructing the City streets. Numbers were updated based on requests and comments provided by Task Force members at Meeting No. 3. 'There was a very lengthy discussion associated with the maintenance costs between the asphalt and concrete pavements, and the impacts to the General Fund of maintaining the various pavements. The Task Force requested additional information in regard to maintenance and requested that an additional meeting be held in October to review those numbers and to develop a recommendation for Council's consideration. 5. October 15, 2007 Meeting No. 5 updated the maintenance costs associated with the comparison between asphalt and concrete streets. This maintenance update included conversations with the City of Edina and their concrete street maintenance policies and costs. Additional information was provided by Ehlers & Associates relating to the various financing options and the impact to the general tax levy of increasing the City portion or the capital construction costs of street projects on the average home within St. Anthony Village. This meeting also developed a recommendation to be presented to the City Council on November 13, 2007, for consideration. Street Reconstruction Task Force Findings Report Page 3 November 13, 2008 WSB Project No. 1626-03 39 M. Findings Over the five meetings held with the Street Reconstruction Task Force, a number of items were discussed in great detail. The Task Force demonstrated a very wide range of ideas in regard to the reconstruction of the concrete streets within St. Anthony Village and a very detailed debate as to the impacts reconstructing concrete streets with asphalt or concrete may have on the Village. Although the'rask Force did not come to a unanimous and concise conclusion, a general consensus was developed by the group that if costs were not a consideration for the reconstruction of the streets, they would prefer concrete as the preferred pavement Many members of the Task Force expressed concerns associated with the capital costs, the impact to assessments, and the impact to the City levy of choosing concrete for the reconstruction of City streets. Others on the Task Force are strongly committed to reconstructing the concrete streets and maintaining the existing look and feel of the City of St. Anthony Village, not replacing the concrete street the homeowners' chose when building or buying their homes with asphalt; and feel that the costs associated with the reconstruction of the concrete streets are justified by the value they bring to the community. The findings on costs associated with reconstructing the concrete streets with either asphalt or concrete can be found on tables outlining the capital costs, maintenance costs, and life cycle costs for both pavement conditions in the Appendix to this report. A summary of the findings of these tables is provided below: The City of St. Anthony Village has approximately 14 years of street reconstruction projects currently programmed. 2. On average, the City of St. Anthony Village expends approximately $1,030,000 on just the street reconstruction portion of the City's annual street and utility improvement project. Reconstructing City streets with concrete will increase the annual construction budget from $1,030,000 to $1,390,500. This is a difference of $360,500 annually, or approximately $5,050,000 over the next 14 years. 4. The streets were evaluated based on a 60 -year life cycle cost. This life cycle cost for concrete and asphalt has been broken down as follows: Concrete Pavement a. Initial cost to construct: $88.21/sq. yd. b. Joint sealing, crack sealing and rehabilitation $8.05/sq. yd. C. Panel replacement for utility repairs $3.69/sq. yd. Total Cost Over 60 Years $99.95/sq. yd. Street Reconstruction Task Force Findings Report Page 4 November 13, 2008 WSB Project No. 1626-03 M Asphalt Pavement a. Initial cost to construct $65.46/sq. yd. b. Crack sealing, seal coat, and mill & overlay $26.86/sq. yd. C. Pavement repairs associated with utilities $132/sq. yd. Total Cost Over 60 Yeas $93.58/sq. yd. The initial cost to construct concrete streets is approximately 35% higher than asphalt streets. The cost to maintain asphalt streets is approximately 240% more than concrete. The total cost to construct and maintain concrete streets is approximately $6.36 or 7% more per square yard over 60 years, when compared to the asphalt. 6. The total cost to reconstruct the remaining streets in St. Anthony Village with concrete increases the overall capital improvement budget by approximately $5,050,000. These funds would need to be raised in a combination of assessments and General Fund contributions to the Street Reconstruction budget. In addition to the costs associated with reconstructing the streets, a number of intangible values associated with each of the pavement types were discussed. A pavement comparison question and answer summary regarding some of these intangible values is attached in the Appendix. Street Reconstruction Task Force Findings Report Page 5 November 13, 2008 WSB Project No. 1626.03 41 IV. Recommendations A general consensus was developed by the Street Reconstruction Task Force on a recommendation to be presented to the St. Anthony City Council. The recommendation to the City Council for consideration is as follows: 1. Given the opportunity to replace the existing concrete streets with concrete, the Task Force is in general consensus that concrete is the preferred construction material. Concrete streets will preserve the unique nature and character of the Village by having homes located on both concrete and asphalt streets, as the Village was originally built. 2. The Task Force members acknowledge that the initial costs to reconstruct concrete streets are a serious financial concern when evaluating the future of the street reconstruction program. 3. The Task Force also acknowledges that while the initial costs of concrete are significant, the City also receives significant savings in annual maintenance by constructing with concrete streets. 4. Although not a unanimous decision by the Task Force, the Task Force recommends the City reconstruct concrete streets with concrete. The City's existing assessment formula is suggested to be maintained. ']'his means that 35% of the cost to reconstruct the streets would be assessed to the property owners based on front rootage, and that 65% of the reconstruction costs be borne by the City's levy. 5. This recommendation anticipates raising the average assessment from $5,900 to construct with asphalt, to $8,000 to construct with concrete pavement, which increases the annual assessment payment from $393/yr. to $533/yr. or an extra $140 per year for 15 years. This is an increase of approximately 35% in the average assessment. The City's existing levy associated with the 65% City portion of the street reconstruction project would increase from approximately $46.78 to $61.73 for the average home in St. Anthony. This is an increase of $14.95 or nearly 32% annually for each of the next 14 years. The Task Force requests that the City Council give consideration to the above recommendation to reconstruct the City of St. Anthony's concrete streets with concrete over the next 14 years.

Modern concrete pavements are generally no louder than Is concrete pavement louder than asphalt? asphalt pavements. However, noise is generated by faulting pavement joints formed by concrete, and is likely to be greater or more pronounced later in the pavement's life cycle. Concrete pavements are thicker, and are generally better for When is concrete or asphalt pavement more roadways that experience heavier truck traffic. However, both beneficial for use? Heavy traffic? Truck types of pavements can be designed for heavy traffic. For local traffic? Loading issues? traffic, concrete pavements are sometimes overbuilt for the loads that they experience. If a road is built correctly, either type of pavement can be utilized. In the past, concrete pavement was placed directly on Do certain soil conditions warrant the use of the soil without a proper roadway section. This was the case in one type of pavement over the other? St. Anthony, where there is poor drainage beneath most existing concrete roadways. Modern roads are designed with a subgrade drainage system, regardless of surface type. Both concrete and asphalt use "green" technology to construct Are there environmental benefits to utilizing the roadways. Concrete and asphalt can be recycled and used one type of pavement over the other? as road base material (gravel) as well as reused into new pavements. Asphalt is dependent on oil byproducts.

Cost comparisons between concrete pavement and bituminous pavement were derived from the average bids received for the 2007 Street Reconstruction project, where both concrete and bituminous alternatives were bid for roadway and alley construction. 'fable I - Annual Street CII' Budf et Annual Street Capital Improvement Program Budget Street Reconstruction $ 1,030,000.00 _ Water Main $ 345,000.00 Storm Sewer $ 210,000.00 Sanitary Sewer $ 300,000.00 Bond Interest $ 60,000.00 _Capitalized _ Contingency Funds _ $ 55,000.00 TOTAL $ 2,000,000.00 "Cable I highlights the current City of St. Anthony Village Street Capital Improvement Program (CIP). The City's budget allows for $2,000,000 to be spent every year on the reconstruction of streets, sanitary sewer, water main, and storm sewer replacement. Additional improvements within the city, such as lift stations, force mains, water treatment plants, and City building repairs are paid for out of a separate budget. For the purposes of presenting street reconstruction financial data, only the current $1,030,000 annual budget for street reconstruction will be discussed. It is assumed that the same length of roadways will be reconstructed in the same amount of time (currently planned for 14 years to complete all street reconstruction). The costs for water main, storm sewer, and sanitary sewer would remain the same.

The City's current Assessment Policy requires streets to be reconstructed with new bituminous pavement. The following is the existing funding summary for street reconstruction: Current program Financing Average Street Length 3,700 feet / year Street CIP Budget $1,030,000 Residential Assessment Rate 35% Funding from Special Assessments $360,500 Funding from City's General Fund $669,500 Funding from City's Routine Maintenance Budget (over Life Cycle)0) $422,368 Funding from City's Non -Routine Maintenance Budget (over Life Cycle) $11,400 Total City Contribution $1,103,268 Average Assessable Front Footage (feet) 5,659 Average Assessment per Front Foot $63.70 (1) 15,760 SY / Year x $26.801 SY The average assessment of $63.70 was derived from the average assessments for the 2007 Street and Utility Improvement project, based on the average (not low) bid. Overall, assessable costs are set by the City's Assessment policy for 35% of the total improvement cost, which is $360,500 amorally. The City's responsibility is for 65% of the total street reconstruction cost, or $669,500 annually. Additionally, the City would be responsible for ongoing maintenance costs of the roadway. These costs, as outlined in Tables 3A — 3C, would total an estimated $433,770 over 60 years for every 3,700 feet of roadway. The total life cycle cost for the City would be $1,103,270. Street Reconstruction Task Force Findings Report November 13, 2008 WSB Project No. 1626-03 50 Task Force Recommendation: Reconstruct Streets with Concrete - Maintain Same Financing Rates The recommendation involves reconstructing new streets with concrete pavement, while maintaining the financing rates in place with the City's existing CIP. The average cost of concrete pavement reconstruction over bituminous pavement is 35%, meaning that the total Street CIP Budget would need to increase to $1,390,500 per year. The following funding breakdown is proposed: Taste Force Recommendation: Program Funding (2) 15,760 SY / Year x $8.05 / SY All costs and assessments increase by 35% across the board. Over a period of 14 years, the total Street CIP Budget would increase by $5,047,000. Special assessments would account for $1,766,450 of this amount. The City's General Fund would account for $3,280,550 of these costs. This option would require that the City's Assessment Policy be modified to allow for the reconstruction of existing concrete streets with concrete pavement. While the City's initial costs increase, the estimated maintenance costs decrease over the life of the pavement. The reduced maintenance cost for the City is estimated at $248,800 over 60 years for every 3,700 feet of roadway. The total life cycle cost for the City would be $1,088,793, a decrease of $14,475 over the life of the pavement (1.3%).

Street Reconstruction Task Force Findings Report November 13, 2008 WSS Project No. 1626-03 51 Life Cycle Cost Discussion Based on information available to the'fask Force, life cycle costs for both concrete and asphalt pavements were found to be, essentially, equivalent. What that means is over the estimated 60 -year life of a pavement; the cost of construction, repair, and ongoing maintenance is the same. The simple comparison is this: • Bituminous pavement costs less initially, and costs more to maintain. • Concrete pavement costs more initially, and costs less to maintain. One of the inherent flaws with life cycle cost analysis is that it relies on the fact that maintenance costs are based on a strict repair regiment, in which repairs happen on a pre-set schedule. Cities inherit a certain amount of risk and potential reward when it comes to developing pavement management programs. The proposed life cycle maintenance activities make an assumption that all bituminous streets need to be overlayed after 20 years to maintain acceptable pavement ratings. Similarly, it assumes thatjoint rehabilitation will need to occur every 30 years for concrete pavements. However, there are instances where pavements may last longer and require less maintenance, thus reducing the overall life cycle costs. For instance, a bituminous pavement lasts for 28 years, and therefore only requires one overlay in its 60 -year life cycle instead of two. The opposite situation may also be true, in that a bituminous pavement may only last 15 years, and may require three overlays in its 60 -year life cycle instead of two. Similar examples can be made for concrete pavements. Concrete Panel Replacement Quantification As was noted in previous task force meetings, the cost to replace concrete panels in order to perform emergency utility repairs cannot be fully quantified, due to a variety of issues including the random nature of emergency utility repairs, the condition of the existing utilities, location of necessary repair, and the time of year a repair is necessary. Based on information provided by the City of St. Anthony's Public Work's department, and compared to information provided by the City of Edina, a reasonable assumption is that an average of 30 concrete panels per year will require replacement for utility repair (assume 20 panel replacements) and general subgrade and/or material failure (assume 10 panel replacements).

Outlined below please find a list of the projects and their current status: 2007 Street Reconstruction Project and Foss Road Lift Station Improvements All utility and sheet reconstruction improvements have been completed for this year's street reconstruction project. There are a number of restoration items that still need to be addressed and are anticipated to be completed within the next week or two. A number of residents have expressed concerns associated with the sod placement on the 2007 project and the watering by the contractor. We have reviewed the watering procedures with the contractor and he has made corrections as necessary. In addition, we will send out a mailing to the residents in early spring alerting them to the contractor coming back to the project to deal with punch list items and any yard settlements that have occurred over the winter months. This list of items will be compiled and given to the contractor for correction prior to issuance of final payment. The Poss Road Lift Station has been constructed and is currently operational. Restoration of Chandler Drive, Foss Road, and the lift station site will be completed in the next week to 10 days. 2. Water Meter Replacement Program and I&I Inspections At the time of the writing of this letter, 2,260 water meters have been replaced within the City of St. Anthony Village. There remain approximately 40 meters to be installed, 25 of which are residential and 15 commercial. The majority of the commercial installations are specialty meters that are currently on order and will be installed upon receipt. We are working closely with the remaining 25 residential homes to replace their water meters and are sending out final notices which include the possibility that the City will shut off the water until the meter can be replaced. We have been meeting regularly with Sensus, the provider of the automated water meter system, to discuss the issues associated with reading the transmissions from the water meters. Based on our discussions and reviewing the latest readings from the recently installed repeaters, there are approximately 469 meters which need to be replaced or reprogrammed. This work is anticipated to occur over the next several weeks and be complete by the middle of December, in time for the 4°i quarter utility billing. We continue to work closely with Met Council to secure the necessary credits to offset the proposed surcharge. More information will be presented in the next update.

Silver Lake Road Reconstruction Comcast, Centerpoint Energy, and Xcel Energy are moving rapidly in relocating their utilities underground along the west side of Silver Lake Road. We anticipate this work will continue for the next several months and will include installation of the service lines from Silver Lake Road to the individual residents. We have been working closely with residents along Silver Lake Road to complete the necessary modifications at the homes to accept underground electrical services. In the last week, you will have noticed Xcel Energy has installed new transmission line crossings at 33`d Avenue and Silver Lake Road, which required some traffic modifications to complete this work. We are also working closely with the Rice Creek Watershed District and the Hennepin County Highway Department in securing the necessary permits for the reconstruction of the project in 2008. We also anticipate that Hennepin County will be present in the near future, date to be determined, to discuss the 2008 schedule and cooperative agreement for the reconstruction of Silver Lake Road. 4. Storrmvater Runoff and Filter Backwash Water Reuse Facility As part of the coordination between the MWMO and the City of St. Anthony Village, we have been working closely with the Rice Creek Watershed District, and other entities in regard to locating financing for the construction of this project to coincide with the 2008 Silver Lake Road improvements. We are currently working closely with the Rice Creek Watershed District to accept the water reuse project as the permit requirements for the reconstruction of Silver Lake Road and coordinating the cost participation between the MWMO, Hennepin County, Rice Creek Watershed District, and possibly Met Council for the installation of this facility. As your may recall, this facility recycles stormwater and backwash water from the City's water treatment plant to irrigate Central Park. This allows the City to recycle water which is currently being sent to Mirror Lake and the Mississippi River, and reduce the City's dependency on treated potable water for the irrigation of Central Park. This project is anticipated to have a positive impact on water quality and reduce the City's demand on groundwater resources. If you have any questions in regard to the above -referenced projects or any other activities within the City of St. Anthony Village, please feel free to call me at 763-287-7182. I will also be present at your November 13, 2007, City Council meeting to discuss these projects with you. Sincerely, WSR & Associates, Inc. /a ,W141� -- Todd E. Hubmer, PE.
