5 Communications, LLC for the Installation of High -Speed Wireless Internet Antenna at

7
8 Planning Commission Chair Don Jensen reported on the Conditional Use Permit (CUP)
9 application by Clearwire Communications, LLC for the installation of high-speed wireless
10 internet antenna at 40001 Stinson Boulevard. A public hearing was held at the January Planning
11 Commission meeting. Mr. Jenson stated that the Planning Commission unanimously
12 recommended approval of the CUP and outlined the four conditions of approval.
13
14 Councilmember Stille inquired about the stipulation that the antenna be no higher than 30 feet
15 above the tallest point on the building. Mr. Jenson explained that the 30 foot height limit was
16 derived in the applicant's negotiations with staff and that the Clearwire antennas will not be
17 higher than antennas already in place on the roof.
18
19 Motion by Councilmember Gray, seconded by Councilmember Stille, to approve Resolution 10-
20 019; Approve the Request for Conditional Use Permit (CUP) to Clearwire Communications,

26
27 A. Resolution 10-020; Approving Installation of a Telecommunications Facility on the
28 City's Water Tank Located at 3109 — 33`d Avenue Mike Morrison, presenting
29
30 City Manager Morrison explained that Clear Wireless, LLC "Clearwire" desires to install a high
31 speed wireless internet facility on the City's water tank located at 3109 — 33`d Avenue. The
32 installation of the equipment will provide a source of rental income. City Manager Morrison
33 stated staff has worked with Clearwire and the City Attorney to negotiate a lease agreement that
34 is fair, comparable to other communication leases, and acceptable for both parties. To determine
35 the annual cost of the lease, staff contacted the Hennepin County Assessor's Office to review
36 financial numbers of other recently negotiated leases. Included in the Council packet is a
37 document comparing the current Sprint Lease to the proposed Clearwire Lease.
38
39 City Manager Morrison reviewed the proposed resolution approving the installation of a
40 telecommunications facility on the City's water tank located at 3109 33`d Avenue. He noted the
41 resolution indicates that the City Attorney and City Engineer have reviewed and approved the
42 plans and specifications for the telecommunications facility and the lease agreement; however,
43 the City Engineer is still conducting this review. It is recommended that the resolution be
44 revised to include a statement that approval is contingent on City Engineer approval.

1 Councilmember Stille noted the initial lease term is 5 years with five, 5 -year automatic renewal
2 terms. He questioned if this is typical for lease terms. City Manager Morrison responded in the
3 affirmative. He noted that revenue from the Sprint Lease currently goes into the General Fund.
4 The 2011 budget discussion will include discussion on whether to allocate the revenue from the
5 Clearwire Lease to the General Fund or the Capital Budget.
7 Mayor Pro Tem Roth questioned who will be responsible for relocating the antenna if the water
8 tower needs to be repainted prior to the end of the 30 -year lease commitment, or if the structure
9 can stay in place if the tower needs to be repainted within that time period. City Manager
10 Morrison replied that his understanding is that the antenna would be able to stay in place;
11 however, if the antenna needs to be relocated Clearwire would be responsible. He clarified that
12 this is not a 30 -year term; it is a 5 -year term with five 5 -year renewals.
13
14 Motion by Councilmember Gray, seconded by Councilmember Stille, to approve Resolution 10-
15 020; Approving Installation of a Telecommunications Facility on the City's Water Tank Located
16 at 3109 — 33rd Avenue.
17
18 Councilmember Stille point out that the City has guided these antennas to one location as much
19 as possible. They are located on the City water tower, on the structure at Kensington, and at this
20 location. He noted that the value of the $24,000 per year income stream fi•om the lease revenue
21 is likely worth $350,000, and that there is also an escalator built into the lease.
22
23 City Manager Morrison verified that approval of the installation is contingent upon City Engineer
24 approval.
25
26 Motion carried unanimously.

o Special Assessment 429 Bonds

• Street & Utility Improvement Program 5 -Year Improvement Plan
• Sidewalk and Street Lighting Program
• Proposed Project Schedule
Councilmember Stille verified with Mr. Hubmer that the 5 -Year Improvement Plan can be
amended in the future if desired by Council. He requested clarification that the difference in the
Special Assessment 429 Bonds and the General Obligation Street Reconstruction Bonds is
basically the mechanics of borrowing the monies. Mr. Hubmer responded in the affirmative. He
stated based upon the information from Ehlers and Associates, there is essentially no difference
in the interest rates of the two bonding options. It is simply the process and procedure that
changes a bit.

Introductions
The City of St. Anthony Village conducted a Strategic Planning/Goal Setting Process in January
2010, involving the city council, department heads, commission members, City Manager, consulting
staff and two staff from the League of Minnesota Cities. A preliminary part of the process was to
introduce everyone to a personality profile system. Everyone who participated had an Insights
Personality profile done; a brief overview of the benefits of knowing one's own profile and others as
well was given. The rest of the process consisted of a two-day planning/goal setting retreat with
the following objectives and agenda.
Objectives/Expectations

Subject: 2010 Road Reconstruction Bonds
Overview
Annually the City issues 429 General Obligation assessment bonds to complete the planned
road reconstruction project. Under the 429 process the City must assess a minimum of 20% of
the project costs to benefitting property owners, which typically is not an issue. For the 2010
road reconstruction improvements to Silver Lane, the City is unable to meet the minimum
assessment threshold and therefore will need to finance the project through the Street
Reconstruction Bond process instead.
Primary Issues to Consider:
1. Why can't the City meet the 20% assessment test?
2. What is the proposed financing mechanism for the project?
3. How does this type of financing differ from the City's typical way of financing street
reconstruction projects?
4. What is the timeline/process for the issuance of the bonds?
Analysis of Issues:
1. Why can't the City meet the 20% assessment test?
The City is unable to meet the 20% threshold since many of the improvement are outside
of the assessable area. However, the City will be assessing approximately $110,000 to
benefiting property owners at a rate of 1.5% above True Interest Costs (TIC) of the bonds
(standard practice).
2. What is the proposed financing mechanism for the project?
We are proposing that the City utilize its authority to issue General Obligation Street
Reconstruction Bonds to finance the project. Similar to the 429 Bonds, the portion of the
project not being paid by assessments will be paid by a general tax levy. This authority
was granted to Cities in 2002 and it generally exempts city bonds issued under a street

reconstruction program from the referendum requirements usually required for bonding
expenditures (referendum generally required if 20% of the project is not/cannot be
assessed). The City is required to hold a public hearing on its intent to issue these bonds
and its 5 -year Street Reconstruction Plan.
The City's annual levy for road projects ranges from $150,000 to $175,000, dependent
upon the size of the project and the amount that is assessed. The annual levy for this year's
road reconstruction project will be approximately $155,000, which is within the typical
range.
3. How does this type of financing differ from the City's typical way of financing street
reconstruction projects?
In order to utilize this type of financing, the City has to prepare a 5 -Year Street
Reconstruction Plan (SRP) which is presented at a public hearing to solicit comment and
feedback from the community (this isn't required for 429 improvement bonds and is an
extra step in the typical bonding process). Upon conclusion of the public hearing, the
Council must approve the SRP via a unanimous vote.
Although a referendum is not required, a reverse referendum is allowable. If a petition
bearing the signatures of at least 5 percent of the votes cast in the last general election
requesting a vote on the issuance of the bonds is received by the municipal clerk within 30
days after the public hearing, a referendum vote on the issuance of the bonds shall be
called (if a vote is taken and the referendum passes, the taxes would be levied on market
value rather than tax capacity).
In addition, these bonds are restricted by the amount of net debt the city can issue. A city
cannot issue debt in excess of 3% of the assessor's taxable market value for the city. For
St. Anthony, the 2010 estimated TMV is $829,050,000. Therefore, the total amount of
outstanding debt cannot exceed $16,581,000. As of February 1, 2010 the City had only
$1,910,000 subject to the legal debt limit (nearly $15 million in capacity available).
4. What is the timeline/process for the issuance of the bonds?
Following is the timeline for issuance of the bonds:
March 23, 2010
Council holds Public Hearing on Bonds and SRP and adopts Resolution giving
preliminary approval for their issuance and approving SRP by unanimous vote
March 23, 2010
Council provides for sale of Bonds
April 23, 2010
Reverse referendum period ends
April 27, 2010
Council awards sale of Bonds
May 2010
Closing on Bonds/receipt of funds
