AGENDA ITEMS A. Old Snelling and County Road E PMP Interim Public Works Director/City Engineer Blomstrom stated the City's adopted 2019-2023 Capital Improvement Program includes proposed improvements to Old Snelling Avenue from County Road E to Trunk Highway 51 and improvements to the intersection at County Road E. The Ramsey County Transportation Improvement Program currently identifies project funding for intersection improvement at County Road E and Old Snelling, which is anticipated to include construction of a roundabout. The County is supportive of the City leading the delivery of these improvements under a cooperative agreement. Interim Public Works Director/City Engineer Blomstrom reported the purpose of this project is to address infrastructure challenges within the proposed project corridor. Pavement conditions along Old Snelling Avenue have deteriorated, with transverse cracking, alligator cracking and potholes. The pavement condition rating of Old Snelling Avenue is below 30. The intersection of County Road E and Old Snelling currently has significant delays and queuing issues during the PM peak hour. In addition, the City and County have recently identified deteriorated sections of sanitary sewer and storm sewer within the intersection and extending north of County Road E. A potential trail extension along Old Snelling Avenue is also being considered. ARDEN HILLS SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION — AUGUST 12, 2019 2 Interim Public Works Director/City Engineer Blomstrom explained Old Snelling Avenue improvements are anticipated to involve funding derived from special assessments. The special assessment process must follow the City's current special assessment policy and maintain compliance with the requirements of Minnesota Statutes Chapter 429. The initial step in the special assessment process is to complete a feasibility report. Due to project specific challenges, including soil conditions, utility coordination and potential easement acquisition, the feasibility report is recommended to include a site survey, geotechnical investigation, and preliminary schematic layout. Councilmember McClung asked if there was enough space along the roadway for a trail. Interim Public Works Director/City Engineer Blomstrom indicated there was adequate space. Councilmember Holden questioned how much property would have to be acquired in order to complete a roundabout. Interim Public Works Director/City Engineer Blomstrom discussed the amount of the right of way available at this intersection. He anticipated the City would have to acquire some right of way in the southwest corner of this intersection. He commented further on how the City and County would fund this project. Councilmember Holden expressed concern that the City would be forced to pay $400,000 because the County deemed it necessary to turn this intersection into a roundabout. She asked what the next step would be. Interim Public Works Director/City Engineer Blomstrom indicated the City would have to complete a feasibility report, survey, geotechnical work and neighborhood meeting. After these items were completed the Council could proceed with design of the project. He recommended the Council order a feasibility report at the next Council meeting in order to allow the Council to hit the February bid dates. Councilmember Holden stated she was concerned with the fact the City would have two major roadway projects being completed in 2020 with this project and Lexington Avenue. Interim Public Works Director/City Engineer Blomstrom reported the County has pushed the Lexington Avenue project to 2021. Councilmember Holden supported this item moving forward but recommended the City receive several bids for the feasibility study. Mayor Grant questioned how much a feasibility study would cost the City. Interim Public Works Director/City Engineer Blomstrom estimated the expense to be roughly $50,000 and noted this would include the geotechnical engineering work. Soil borings would be contracted directly by the City. ARDEN HILLS SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION — AUGUST 12, 2019 3 Mayor Grant supported moving forward with this project given the fact the County wants to move forward with this improvement project. He noted the City had fund set aside for this project. Councilmember McClung asked who the City has used in the past for its feasibility reports. City Administrator Perrault explained the City has used SEH, Kimley-Horn, WSB, and Bolton & Menk. Councilmember McClung recommended staff speak with these companies and request an RFP for the project. Councilmember Holden supported staff pursuing several bids for the feasibility report as well. Council consensus was to direct staff to request bids for the feasibility report and bring back an order for a feasibility report at the August 26, 2019 City Council meeting. B. Neighborhood Meeting Notification Discussion Community Development Manager/City Planner Mrosla explained at their May 16, 2011 meeting the City Council approved the Land Use Application Public Notification Policy. The policy requires staff to notify residents within a given distance from the subject parcel where the development is occurring by mail of upcoming meeting Planning Commission and City Council meetings. The notification mailing distance is determined by whether the planning case requires a public hearing, and if the project is large and has special circumstances. Staff has been utilizing the Land Use Application Public Notification Policy mailing distances when notifying residents of neighborhood meeting. The rationale for utilizing this policy is that the intent of a neighborhood meeting is to reach the same people who will be notified of the public hearing. Community Development Manager/City Planner Mrosla stated the intent of a neighborhood meeting is to allow the applicant to garner feedback from those directly impacted by the project and allow them to make improvements to reduce concerns and impacts. In most communities, neighborhood meetings are generally held for applications for preliminary plats, conditional use permits, planned unit developments and/or rezoning proposals that are located adjacent to or within a residential zoning district. The intent of the neighborhood meeting is to expand and enhance the distribution of information to the residents directly impacted by a development proposal. However, different communities have varying policies when it comes to neighborhood meetings notification requirements. A review of five (5) adjacent communities was reviewed with the Council. Community Development Manager/City Planner Mrosla reported cities generally have the same requirements when it comes to neighborhood meetings. Only Vadnais Heights and Roseville require neighborhood meetings for certain application types. All cities provide addresses to the applicants for mailings. The majority of cities above require notices to be mailed to all properties within 350 feet of the subject property, and then allow staff to use their discretion to expand the notification area if deemed necessary. None of the cities surveyed post ARDEN HILLS SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION — AUGUST 12, 2019 4 neighborhood meetings notification on their websites or on social media unless the City is facilitating the development. The cities do post public hearings on their websites. Community Development Manager/City Planner Mrosla commented staff is reviewing options to post land use application information on the city's website. A growing number of cities are providing development information on their websites. The information generally includes a brief summary of the project and contact information. This allows residents not impacted by the project to review the proposal and contact staff if they have any questions or concerns. He requested feedback from the Council on the neighborhood meeting notification process. Councilmember Holden stated she heard from several different people at National Night Out that more people should be invited to neighborhood meetings and not just adjacent property owners. Mayor Grant supported the City notifying residents that live within 500 feet of a project area to neighborhood meetings. He indicated he could be lobbied to go even higher on this. Planning Consultant Kansier recommended the Council find a number and stick with it. She did not believe the Council should be using different numbers for different projects. Mayor Grant suggested the notification radius be set at 1,000 feet. Community Development Manager/City Planner Mrosla stated this could be set as the notification standard. Council consensus was to set the neighborhood meeting notification radius to 1,000 feet. Community Development Manager/City Planner Mrosla asked if the Council wanted to require developers to hold neighborhood meetings for all preliminary plats, conditional use permits, planned unit developments, rezonings, comprehensive plan amendments that are located within neighborhood developments. Councilmember Holden asked when these meetings were held. Community Development Manager/City Planner Mrosla reported the neighborhood meeting could be held prior to the developer making application or after an application has been submitted. Councilmember McClung stated he liked the idea of developers meeting with neighbors prior to submitting an application. Mayor Grant supported neighborhood meetings for all of the staff listed requests. Councilmember McClung agreed. Community Development Manager/City Planner Mrosla commented a second neighborhood meeting could be held after an application is submitted after plans have been revised to take into consideration the neighbors concerns and prior to the item being reviewed by the City Council. ARDEN HILLS SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION — AUGUST 12, 2019 5 Councilmember Holden supported this recommendation. Community Development Manager/City Planner Mrosla asked if the Council would allow staff to provide developers with lists of addresses. He explained other cities do provide this service. Mayor Grant commented there was not a huge cost to the City to provide the addresses. For this reason, he supported the City providing developers with addresses. Councilmember Holden expressed concern with Roseville properly notifying Arden Hills residents of potential developments. Community Development Manager/City Planner Mrosla described how technology had changed to allow cities to grab addresses within the GIS system across city lines. Councilmember McClung stated he could support the 1,000 -foot notification radius while allowing staff to increase this for certain or special projects. Councilmember Holden indicated she would like to see the City's neighborhood meeting notices streamlined. Community Development Manager/City Planner Mrosla commented he would look at revising the information that was included on the notifications. C. B2 Zoning Planning Consultant Kansier explained the City Council discussed setback requirements for buildings and parking lots in the B-2 District at the work session on June 18, 2018. The B-2 District is generally located along the County Road E corridor between Highway 51 and Lexington Avenue North. For new development in the B-2 District, the Zoning Code currently requires buildings to be located along County Road E and parking to be located behind buildings. The City Council directed staff to bring forward possible changes to the design standards that would allow for more flexibility in the placements of buildings and parking in the B-2 District. The City Council also requested that the facade transparency requirements also be reviewed. Planning Consultant Kansier stated it should be noted the additional design standards for the B- 2 District included in Section 1325.05, Subd. 8 of the Zoning Code also apply to the B-3 District. Any changes made to these design standards would also apply to new development and redevelopment in both the B-2 and B-3 Districts. The B-3 District is generally located along the west side of Lexington Avenue from County Road E to I-694. The B-3 District also includes several properties on the north side of Red Fox Road and on the south side of Grey Fox Road in proximity to Lexington Avenue. Planning Consultant Kansier indicated the Council reviewed potential language relating to setbacks and building facades at the September 17, 2018, workshop. The staff recommended revising the front yard setback requirement from 20 feet to 50 feet. Staff also recommended removing the requirement that at least 50 percent of the largest building on each site be ARDEN HILLS SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION — AUGUST 12, 2019 6 constructed at the front setback line of 20 feet. Staff recommended the following parking location requirements be deleted: • Placing parking between the street right-of-way and a building shall be discouraged • No more than 50 percent of the parking on a site may be between buildings or in the side yards Planning Consultant Kansier explained the Council agreed with the recommended changes in setbacks; however, the Council did have some concerns about changes to the building facade requirements. Councilmember Holden asked if the proposed changes would address the snow removal concerns. Planning Consultant Kansier reported this was the case. She commented further on the building materials standards that were being proposed. She explained the proposed changes would ensure the appearance of blank walls and would not face the street. Furthermore, spandrel glass would alleviate concerns about storage and maintenance rooms. Further discussion ensued regarding spandrel glass. Mayor Grant thanked staff for provided an update on the B2 Zoning District. D. Clear Cutting and Grading Planning Consultant Kansier explained at the August 20, 2018, City Council workshop, the City Attorney reviewed a draft ordinance that was intended to address vegetation removal and clear cutting. At that meeting, the City Council was concerned the ordinance did not address the issue of clearcutting a lot and claiming the trees were diseased after the fact. To address the Council's concerns, additional language is proposed. The additional language includes: • Adding a definition of Land Disturbance Activity to the Zoning Code definitions. The definition is the same as that included in Chapter 15, Erosion and Sedimentation Control. • An amendment to Section 1325.055, Tree Preservation, Subd. 2, stating `It shall be unlawful for any person to engage directly or indirectly in a land disturbing activity, as defined in this ordinance, unless such person has applied for and obtained approval of a tree preservation plan. No preliminary plat, building permit, grading permit, or other City required permit shall be granted unless approval of a tree preservation plan has been obtained. " • An amendment to Section 1325.055, Subd. 5, D, stating, "Prior to removal, all diseased or nuisance trees must be clearly identified on the site, and the diseased or nuisance state must be certified by a certified tree inspector, forester or arborist. " Planning Consultant Kansier reported the proposed language is intended to codify the need for a tree preservation plan prior to clearcutting a site. Clearcutting is part of a larger infill development discussion. Staff is meeting with the City of Edina staff on August 15th to discuss their ordinances and policies in regards to residential infill development. Following the meeting ARDEN HILLS SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION — AUGUST 12, 2019 7 with Edina, staff intends on having future discussions on setbacks, neighborhood characteristics, and infill construction management. Councilmember Scott asked if additional language should be considered for trees that are damaged during a storm. Planning Consultant Kansier stated this could be considered. Further discussion ensued regarding tree loss and the percentage of significant tree loss that should be allowed. Councilmember Holden stated she did not believe the current clearcutting language made any sense because a developer could clear two out of three lots at this time within the Ordinance. Community Development Manager/City Planner Mrosla indicated the language within the Ordinance could be strengthened to address clearcutting concerns. He noted the infill and erosion control language could also be amended. He stated he could report back to the Council after meeting with the City of Edina to see how this City addressed these items. Councilmember McClung indicated he would like to develop a little bit of tooth on how to address these matters and for there to be a clear penalty in place. E. Code Enforcement Discussion Community Development Manager/City Planner Mrosla explained a general question was raised if the City's ordinance relating to code enforcement needs to be clearer for enforcement, or if it is sufficient. Community Development staff with the City's prosecuting attorney (Kelly and Lemmons) discussed the City's ordinance and how effective it is with regards to code enforcement. Staff and the attorney also discussed a specific complaint regarding cars and recreational vehicle (RV) parked on a property, as well as a non -conforming fence. Staff and the attorney agreed the current ordinance is sufficient for general code enforcement, and does not need further clarification at this time. Community Development Manager/City Planner Mrosla stated however, every code enforcement case has its own unique set situations and complexities. Generally, if a violation of the code is found to exist, a letter will be sent which outlines the steps that need to be taken to correct the violation. In many instances, residents are simply unaware of the Code and correct the situation immediately. In the event the correction is not made in a reasonable amount of time, staff has numerous means to resolve the matter. Below are common code enforcement issues that our inspectors encounter with regards to vehicle and RV parking on residential lots. Code Section: 800.03 - Parking Regulations • Prohibited Parking Areas. In all residential districts, parking shall be prohibited on any area of private property except on designated driveways or parking lots. • Parking in Driveways. In all residential districts, there shall be no more than four vehicles parked on a driveway. Code Section: 1325.12 — Recreational Vehicle, Utility Trailer, Riding Lawn Mower, and Watercraft Outdoor Storage: ARDEN HILLS SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION — AUGUST 12, 2019 8 • No more than three (3) RVs, utility trailers, riding lawn mowers, or watercraft are permitted. Not more than one (1) of the three (3) may be a motor home, travel trailer, camper, or other similar type of RV. RVs and watercraft on a trailer shall be considered as one. • The rear yard is fully enclosed by a six-foot privacy fence or is substantially screened from adjacent properties as determined by the Zoning Administrator; which may include fencing, vegetation, or both. • RVs, utility trailers, riding lawn mowers, and watercraft shall not be stored within the principal structure side yard setback as required in the underlying zone, and shall be at least ten (10) feet from the rear property line. If both side and rear yards are available for storage, then the location with the least visibility from streets and neighboring property, as determined by the Zoning Administrator, shall be used for such storage. • It shall not be stored forward of the principal structure, except as otherwise provided for in this section. • Short -Term Parking without Permit. Licensed and operable RVs, utility trailers, riding lawn mowers, and watercraft of any length or height may be parked in driveways for the sole expressed purpose of loading, unloading, and cleaning for a period not to exceed seventy-two (72) hours, provided that they are not within five (5) feet of the curb or, if there is no curb, the edge of the road driving surface, and do not encroach upon a pedestrian walkway. Councilmember Holden discussed how RV's were defined within City Code. Further discussion ensued regarding a specific lot in the City that had numerous code violations. City Administrator Perrault reported the City would be taking a more aggressive role in enforcing these issues. Community Development Manager/City Planner Mrosla commented on how it was important for certain standards to be met in with respect to the City's housing stock in order to keep housing values high. Councilmember Holden asked if the City was aware of any hoarding houses. Community Development Manager/City Planner Mrosla stated he was not aware of any hoarding houses in Arden Hills. He provided further comment on the letters that would be sent regarding park land encroachment. He reported staff was considering including a brochure with these letters to note common code violations in the City. Councilmember McClung supported this idea and suggested this same brochure be sent out in utility bills on a yearly basis. He wanted to see the City being more proactive when pursuing code enforcement issues that were complaint based. He stated the community was aging and he wanted to see the City encouraging homeowners to keep their house in alignment with City Code. Community Development Manager/City Planner Mrosla stated education was key and staff was also going to be putting more information regarding code violations in the City newsletter. He reported additional information would be placed on the City's website as well. ARDEN HILLS SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION — AUGUST 12, 2019 9 2. COUNCIL COMMENTS AND STAFF UPDATES Councilmember Holden asked if staff had updated water usage information. City Administrator Perrault reported he would have Finance Director Bauman distribute this information to the Council. Mayor Grant discussed the City getting new monitors on the Council dais. Mayor Grant asked if the City newsletter situation had been addressed with Arden Manor. City Administrator Perrault reported the situation had been remedied with the printer. Councilmember Holden requested a copy of the City's records retention policy. ADJOURN Mayor Grant adjourned the City Council Work Session meeting at 7:49 p.m. Jolene Trauba Deputy Clerk David Grant Mayor DRAFT -ARQEN_HILLS Approved: September 23, 2019 CITY OF ARDEN HILLS, MINNESOTA CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION AUGUST 19, 2019 5:00 P.M. - ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL CHAMBERS CALL TO ORDER/ROLL CALL Pursuant to due call and notice thereof, Mayor David Grant called to order the City Council Work Session at 5:03 p.m. Present: Mayor David Grant, Councilmembers Brenda Holden, Dave McClung, Fran Holmes, and Steve Scott Absent: None Also present: City Administrator Dave Perrault, Interim Public Works Director/City Engineer Todd Blomstrom, Finance Director Gayle Bauman, Deputy Clerk Jolene Trauba, Recreation Coordinator Sara Knoll, Alliant Engineering Consultant Steve Weser, and Ramsey County Project Manager Khamsai Yang City Administrator Perrault requested the addition of a bench handout be included as Item IF on the agenda. Item IA was changed to be discussed after Item 113. The agenda was approved as amended. 1. AGENDA ITEMS B. Met Council Grant Opportunity City Administrator Perrault noted that the Met Council is rolling out a Water Efficiency Grant Program, which is a partnership between the Met Council and the City to offer rebates to replace inefficient appliances such as toilets, washing machines, irrigation system controllers and sprinklers. The grant is funded 75% by the Met Council and 25% by the City. Plymouth and Woodbury are two cities currently offering rebates, they are generally providing between $50 and $200 in qualifying rebates. In talking with other cities it was noted that there may be a large uptick in the first year and then the grant doesn't have as much usage. Staff would have to decide who would be in charge internally, most likely it would be the Finance department. A proposed $20,000 in grant money would mean the Met Council would provide $15,000 and $5,00 would come from the City. Councilmember Holden asked if the program could be income eligible. ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION — August 19, 2019 2 City Administrator Perrault said he didn't think there would be anything prohibiting the City from doing that. Finance Director Bauman said she wasn't sure that the Met Council would allow that. The reason for the program is to curb water usage. Woodbury and Plymouth only give rebates for irrigation. Toilets and washers don't save on a lot of water and it is very staff labor intensive. There are no reimbursements from Met Council for staff time. In a previous city she worked for they gave rebates for toilets and washers but abandoned the program after a year. Interim Public Works Director/City Engineer Blomstrom added that cities usually implement this program when they are getting a peak demand and can't generate enough water during those times. Irrigation is what brings down the peak demand. That currently isn't a challenge in Arden Hills. Councilmember Scott said he could see the value of adding toilets to the program as they are in constant use. Finance Director Bauman said the City would submit documentation to the Met Council once a quarter and get the 75% reimbursed. Mayor Grant asked how we would control the program is there was more or less demand. City Administrator Perrault said it could be structured as first come, first served not to exceed the grant amount. There is a question about the minimum required to be paid by the grant and if the City is still required to pay that amount if there are not enough participants. Councilmember Holden stated that with no peak demand issues she didn't see this as a program for the City at this time. She thought there are not that many irrigation systems in the City, it would be challenging for staff to manage the program and the City already sends water usage letters to those homes outside of normal usage. Councilmember McClung said he was worried about the amount of staff time that would be devoted for the amount of money. Councilmember Holden was not in favor. Councilmember Scott said it wasn't a make or break for him. Mayor Grant said he'd rather see staff focus on other things. Staff was directed to not pursue this grant opportunity. A. Ramsey County Lexington Avenue Project Update Interim Public Works Director/City Engineer Blomstrom noted there are roadway improvements planned on Lexington Avenue between County Road E and I-694, as well as ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION — August 19, 2019 3 watermain improvements for Arden Hills and Shoreview. Project design, schedule and cost sharing will be discussed. Alliant Engineering Consultant Weser explained the project is basically a full reconstruction. Some of the project partners are Ramsey County, Shoreview and Arden Hills, MnDOT, Roberts Management (Lexington Station Phase 3), residents and other businesses. The asphalt is rutting and will be replaced with concrete. Cities will be replacing water mains, and traffic signals will be brought up to current standards. The final design plan should be complete in late fall. The County is acquiring easements and should be done mid -summer of next year. Bidding will be mid -late 2020 with a spring 2021 construction start. Some utility relocation work may occur in 2020. Mr. Weser stated they held open houses in December, 2018 and April, 2019. Another open house will be held prior to construction. Mr. Weser said there is ongoing coordination with Lexington Station, the Rice Creek Watershed District, residents and other businesses. They have also talked with the owners of Shannon Square, Arby's, Big O Tires and Enterprise. They didn't receive any real pushback on the plan design. Ideally Arby's, Big O Tires and Enterprise would connect into the driveway access and signal from Lexington Station. Mr. Weser noted there will be sidewalk and trail improvements; the trail on the east side will be replaced and widened, the sidewalk on the west side will be replaced and the gap filled in by Lexington Station. The driveway at Lexington Station Phase 3 will be relocated to connect to Target Road and the current entrance will be removed. The signal system infrastructure will be upgraded; phasing and timing. There will be turn lane additions and a raised median. Shoreview will replace their watermain from County Road E to the TCF bank property as well as some sanitary sewer. Private utility work will be ongoing. Transit stops are being reviewed with Metro Transit, some may be relocated. Right turn lanes will be added to all the major intersections, a dual left turn lane southbound at Red Fox, a right turn lane on eastbound Red Fox. Other cross street improvements will consist of lane configurations revised on Grey Fox to provide dedicated left turns and a right through lane in each direction. Mr. Weser elaborated on the Red Fox Road intersection, they will be increasing the stacking distance for vehicles which will help the capacity of the intersection, a southbound right turn lane onto Red Fox will be added, a right turn overlap phase will be added to help the westbound queuing. When northbound and southbound lefts are going the right turn will get a green arrow. An eastbound right turn lane will be added on Red Fox to southbound Lexington. Signal timing improvements will be made along the whole corridor. The access management will provide a consistent median along Lexington Avenue and eliminate unsafe merging coming out of some of the driveways. Northbound traffic will be able to enter Shannon Square but there will be a right only out to go southbound or use of the signal at Grey Fox. A median is proposed across the driveway at Arby's/Big O Tires/Enterprise so there will be a right in, right out unless they work out access with the Lexington Station development to the Target Road intersection. Mr. Weser noted that Ramsey County will be using state aid funds for their portion of the project along with the County cost sharing policy for local agencies. There are potential assessments for properties benefitting from intersections and signals. A meeting was held with Target, the City of ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION — August 19, 2019 4 Shoreview and a conference call with the owners of Arby's and Big O Tires/Enterprise parcels, to make them aware of the access and signal changes being proposed, and possible assessments. City watermain work will be funded by the cities. Mr. Weser discussed the estimated project costs with a caveat on the easement costs. They are currently estimated at $2 a square foot for temporary easements and $10 a square foot for permanent easements. Ramsey County is cautioning that may be light for commercial properties so the numbers may go up. Estimated construction cost is about $9.1 million which includes a 10% contingency. There is 10% construction administration/inspection and 10% engineering cost comes to approximately $229,000 on the signal systems. Total estimated cost for the project is $11.6 million. County policy is that local agencies would share 50% of the easement costs. Target Road traffic signal would be 50% split between the cities, other traffic signals would be $175,000 for the city portion. New sidewalk is estimated at $23,000 for the city, the Arden Hills water main would be about $311,000. Twenty percent engineering and construction administration for the signal system is about $65,000, sidewalk and water main $80,000 for a total of $870,000 depending on the easement costs. Mr. Weser continued with construction staging. Detail discussions are still ongoing. There may be some short-term closures but they are planning to try to keep at least one lane open in each direction. Driveway access will be maintained as much as possible. Most of the widening will be on the west side so that side will be constructed first. Councilmember Holden asked what properties easements are being purchased from. Mr. Weser replied on the Arden Hills side permanent easements will be on the Shannon Square and Pace Industries properties, and temporary easements for grading north of that area. Shoreview will need more easements due to their water main reconstruction. Councilmember Scott noted that Pace Industries will be closing. Councilmember Holden asked about the money that was spent on resurfacing Lexington about five years ago. Mr. Weser said there are still some corners that need to be brought up to ADA standards and that may have been part of the work done previously. Mayor Grant mentioned the turn notation symbols aren't consistent on the drawings. Mr. Weser said they are changing the lane configuration on Grey Fox and are providing a dedicated left. Councilmember Holden asked if they could have a right turn only lane at County Road E. Mr. Weser said they did look at a dedicated right turn lane and not allowing through movement, but when people are stacked in the left turn lane and potentially backed up into the through lane they thought a through lane would be best. Councilmember Holden said the left hand turn didn't get stacked up now into the through lane. ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION — August 19, 2019 5 Mr. Weser said if it were made a right turn lane there would be additional property impacts at Goodwill. Councilmember Holden noted that if you are at Shannon Square you'll have to drive through the Cub parking lot in order to go left onto Lexington. Mr. Weser responded yes, they want people to use the signal. Councilmember McClung said when you're heading southbound there is a new right turn lane at Red Fox, Lexington Station, and Grey Fox but not at County Road E. He felt that would be a problem. Mr. Weser said they looked at that from a traffic standpoint and saw the benefit in keeping that a through right. Mayor Grant said if they put a dedicated right they would gain more capacity for stacking between County Road E and the railroad track. He would like to see an additional right turn lane added. Councilmember McClung added that you normally see people backed up in the right turn lane to go onto County Road E. Mr. Weser said he appreciates the discussion. It could be made a dedicated right in part because the lane drops out after County Road E. Councilmember Holden said with taking out the left hand turn at Shannon Square, everyone will have to go right. Interim Public Works Director/City Engineer Blomstrom said the designers could evaluate the lane drop north of the intersection or look at options to get an additional right turn lane. Mayor Grant clarified that coming out of Grey Fox there is a dedicated left coming out onto Lexington, that is signalized. Also, coming out of Lexington Station Phase 3 there isn't a dedicated right but you could make a right. Mr. Weser said there could be a three lane situation depending on how much room is there after the development is done. Interim Public Works Director/City Engineer Blomstrom felt adding a dedicated right turn lane out of Lexington Station at Target Road would definitely increase the capacity of the intersection. Especially if Big O Tires and Arby's are added to the intersection. Councilmember Holmes wants to get rid of the driveway to TCF from Lexington. Mr. Weser said the County traffic staff doesn't want the driveway but there is a previous agreement with Shoreview to not take it out. Councilmember Holden asked about the radius on Red Fox being wide enough for trucks. ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION — August 19, 2019 6 Mr. Weser said they are wide intersections and will work for large trucks. Councilmember McClung asked if the new light at Red Fox will be timed so it doesn't cause a backup between Red Fox and the freeway. Mr. Weser said they would be. Councilmember Holden said if you are going east on Red Fox Road and want to go north onto Lexington the lanes are full of traffic coming out of Target. There needs to be a control for the right turn going north. Councilmember Holmes agreed that a continuous right won't work from the Arden Hills perspective. She felt there is plenty of room for stacking on Red Fox Road coming out of Target. She would like to see no right on red. Councilmember McClung said the right turn on red should be prohibited because people on the Arden Hills side can't get out now on a green arrow to go left. Mr. Weser said he can take the request back to the signal designers to see what they can do. The signals will be interconnected on a common control system all along the corridor. Councilmember Holmes said she'd like to see a signal with an arrow that goes right that can be turned on and off as necessary. It could blink yellow most of the time but at peak times it could be red. Mayor Grant asked if there would be federal money involved in the project. Ramsey County Project Manager Yang said there were state aid funds but not federal. Interim Public Works Director/City Engineer Blomstrom highlighted the three key points that the Council wants to see: dedicated right turn from south bound Lexington onto County Road E, a right turn lane at the Lexington Station/Target intersection and a right turn signal for westbound Red Fox at Lexington. C. Park Security Discussion City Administrator Perrault said this went back to a previous discussion when Sheriff Serier was at a meeting and the Council asked staff to come up with a plan for comments and concerns regarding the parks. A table with incidents from 2017 to date was provided along with a list of incidents that had been reported to the Sheriff's department. The Council also previously discussed adding cameras at Cummings park. Initial cost for cameras would be around $5000 with approximately $1000 per year thereafter. Staff wants to establish abetter tracking system to monitor what is going on at the parks. They are proposing to have a quarterly meeting with staff and the Sheriff's department to discuss incidences and share concerns, unless there is something that needs a timelier discussion. Recreation Coordinator Knoll explained they have a new numbering system for keys, so they know which staff person has which keys. The keys are also marked "do not duplicate". Three lead ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION — August 19, 2019 7 staff members get keys and they are required to turn them in at the end of the season. They are charged a $25 fee for a lost key. Councilmember Scott asked about putting fake cameras in the parks. Councilmember Holmes felt they had enough information. There are three troublesome parks: Cummings, Hazelnut and Perry. She thought cameras should be considered. Councilmember Holden asked how much it costs to rekey. Recreation Coordinator Knoll said it's around $250. They have to rekey every door, and Cummings, for example has 15 doors. The general public is charged a $200 deposit when they rent the pavilions. Councilmember Holden suggested having only one door be able to be opened from the outside and the rest would be opened from the inside, that way they'd only have to change one lock. City Administrator Perrault said they could have the locksmith take locks off of all but 2 doors, in case one sticks. But suggested waiting until the next time they need to rekey to have the work done. Recreation Coordinator Knoll said she will look into getting the door locks redone. Mayor Grant said he was on board with getting a few fake cameras. Discussion ensued regarding possible locations for fake cameras. Councilmember Holden suggested we turn the floodlights off at the pavilions. Mayor Grant thought sensor lights would be a good idea. Discussion ensued. City Administrator Perrault summarized that staff would look into fake cameras, rekeying to have locks on only 1 or 2 doors, sensor lights on the pavilions (if the Sheriff agrees to the idea), and quarterly reporting. D. Preliminary General Fund Budget Finance Director Bauman stated that she would be reviewing the preliminary General Fund budget for 2020. The City is required to adopt a maximum tax levy by the end of September. For the purposes of discussion, there is a 5% tax levy reflected in the budget. Finance Director Bauman said the General Fund budget is not balanced. It is underfunded by $159,700. Progress is being made but the practice isn't sustainable so they are trying to eliminate the deficit. Part of the tax levy increase will go to drop the deficit budget balance. A tax levy increase of 9.05% would be needed to balance the General Fund but even with that there would still be issues with some of the capital funds. The revenue budget is projected to be $4.871 ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION — August 19, 2019 8 million, which is an increase of 1.4%. The building plan check fees budgeted for 2019 were a little high, so the charges for services budget is dropping in 2020. Finance Director Bauman showed a graph of General Fund expenditures for 2016-2020. Councilmember Holden requested the graph be revised to show budgeted versus actual dollars. Finance Director Bauman noted the biggest increase is in public safety costs which the City contracts for. Overall the Personnel Services Budget is going up only by a total of 1.8%, which includes a 3% COLA, 3% health and 3.5% dental. Finance Director Bauman said the Supplies and Materials Budget didn't change much between the two years, but the contractual services budget is changing. It is being proposed to move $50,000 from the Street Maintenance Budget for patching and overlay to the PIR Fund. The Ramsey County police contract will have a $95,870 increase, the Ramsey County dispatch contract is going down almost $23,000, and the Lake Johanna Fire Department budget is increasing $47,310. Finance Director Bauman discussed property values. All property type values are increasing in Ramsey County, but the biggest increase will be residential. County wide taxable market values on residential properties are going up 8.5%, commercial/industrial is going up 1.6% and apartments are going up 7.4%. Median home values in Arden Hills are going up from $346,900 to $372,400. City tax on $346,900 payable in 2019 was $871. That home at $372,400 with the proposed 5% tax levy would be $926, or a $55 increase. The median value home price has increased 24% since 2016 but the City tax on that home has gone up 20%. Based on current values, the proposed tax rate would be the lowest it's been since 2012. Finance Director Bauman explained the Proposed Tax Levy chart and list of tax levy assumptions. Other funds that rely on tax levy dollars include the EDA fund, Public Safety Capital Fund, Equipment/Building Replacement Fund and the PIR fund. Discussion ensued regarding street paving projects and related costs. Interim Public Works Director/City Engineer Blomstrom will do an analysis to see the exact cost savings from doing paving work with our City staff versus hiring a contractor. Councilmember Holden asked about the process for department heads setting their budgets. Finance Director Bauman replied that she sends detailed line items of the previous two years budgets to the department heads and asks for them to fill in the budget for the third year. She then goes through the items and asks questions as needed. After discussion regarding the tax levy, it was generally agreed that a 5% maximum would be brought forward for preliminary approval. Finance Director Bauman will bring the General Fund Budget to a Council meeting in September for Council to set a tax levy at that time. ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION — August 19, 2019 9 E. Council Tracker City Administrator Perrault and staff reviewed the Council Request Tracker with the City Council. Perry Park Dog Park Improvements and Old Snelling Trail and McCracken Lane were removed. Additional columns for planned completion date and revised completion date were requested to be added. Items for the Vacant House on Brighton Way and 2020 Corrections Resources (ICWC) plan were added. Council agreed to continue the meeting past 8:00 p.m. F. Public Works Office Support Discussion (Bench Handout) City Administrator Perrault noted that the Personnel Committee had a meeting to begin preliminary discussions regarding Public Works staffing. Current and future needs of the department were discussed. Staff believed one of the organizational needs is to hire a Public Works Administrative Assistant. Title and grade would be an office support specialist, similar to the front desk, but this position would be at the Public Works facility. Interim Public Works Director/City Engineer Blomstrom added the goal is to increase the productivity and functionality of the department. Currently, most calls for service are going directly to the Public Works Superintendent (Jeff) so he is saturated with phone calls while he is trying to be the subject matter expert, show the staff how to do projects and be a good manager. He said most public works departments have at least one administrative support person that can focus on giving good customer service. Many calls could be screened and answered by an administrative assistant. A work order system would help manage work as it's coming in. Arden Hills doesn't have a work order system, and this position could coordinate that. Other duties could include coordinating material orders, inventory, implementing and monitoring a training and safety program. His advice to improve customer service would be to get a strong administrative assistant. City Administrator Perrault said that even though there is a working foreman position vacant, staff feels the administrative assistant would be the most beneficial for current operations. Estimated budget savings would be $17,000. Councilmember Holmes felt that a lot of issues could be resolved by having someone taking some of the burden of the Superintendent but not by adding another working foreman. Councilmember Holden asked if there would be enough work for the position as a full FTE. Interim Public Works Director/City Engineer Blomstrom replied that there is a risk of not having safety training covered, along with regulatory reporting. The City can be audited and they levy fines on cities. Having a work order system is one of the most fundamental things of having efficient work flow, that also keeps records of where staff spends the most time and identifies areas that can be improved. This person would also keep the Safety Committee moving forward. Councilmember McClung said he'd like to have further discussion along with Public Works Director/City Engineer position. He'd like to look at the whole structure of the department. ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION — August 19, 2019 10 Mayor Grant said the Personnel Committee wanted to get the idea to the Council for future consideration. 2. COUNCIL/STAFF COMMENTS Councilmember Scott noted food wasn't provided to the election officials and would like to see it happen every time. Councilmember Holmes mentioned that she would like the Council to talk about Highway 96 plantings and beautification. Councilmember Holden wanted to know where the City is on I&I and get an account of the MSA funds. She also inquired about the new HVAC system for City Hall and said she'd like to consider a solar panel be added. City Administrator Perrault said a recommendation came in with two options that staff will review and they can ask to get pricing for a solar panel. City Administrator Perrault noted that a Public Works Maintenace Worker resigned and staff would like to request approval to post for the position at the next Council meeting. Bench handouts will be provided at the next meeting with RFPs for the Old Snelling project. Also, Karth Lake needs a new pump and staff is working on determining if the City or the Karth Lake District is responsible to provide funding for a new pump. It will be brought forward for further discussion at the October work session.

CITY OF ARDEN HILLS By: David Grant, Mayor And: Dave Perrault, City Administrator CITY OF WHITE BEAR LAKE By: Jo Emerson, Mayor And: Ellen Hiniker, City Manager , RZEN HILLS MEMORANDUM DATE: January 28, 2019 TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers David Perrault, City Administrator FROM: Sue Polka, Public Works Director/City Engineer SUBJECT: Easement Machine and Trailer Purchase Budgeted Amount: Actual Amount: $70,000 $67,416.75 Attachment B CONSENT ITEM — 7D Funding Source: Equipment Replacement Fund Council Should Consider Approval of the purchase of an easement machine from Flexible Pipe Tool Company in the amount of $62,941.00 (Attachment A) and a trailer from Towmaster Trailers in the amount of $4,475.75 (Attachment B). Background/Discussion Currently, the City owns an easement machine through an agreement with the City of White Bear Lake. This machine was purchased in 1999 and is housed at White Bear Lake. The machine is used to clean sanitary sewer lines that are in difficult to access off-road easement areas. Due to availability issues that have occurred in the past, staff is requesting that the City Council approve the purchase of the easement machine. Staff has contacted White Bear Lake and they have not budgeted for a new machine in their 5 -year plan. Since we have received an estimated trade-in value of $2,000.00, White Bear Lake staff indicated that they would consider providing the City with 1/2 of the trade-in value. The 2019 CIP identifies a budget of $70,000 for the easement machine replacement (Attachment Q. Staff recommends Council approve the purchase of the easement machine and trailer.

Background A memo (see Attachment A) has been prepared by Dana Healy of the North Suburban Communications Commission outlining the settlement agreement with Century Link. She will also be present at the meeting to answer if questions if the item is pulled off the consent calendar. Budget Impact N/A AttnehmPnt Attachment A: Century Link Settlement Agreement t, North `1 Suburban � Communications Commission Attachment A North Suburbs NORTH SUBURBAN COMMUNICATIONS COMMISSION MEMO Item Description: Century Link Settlement BACKGROUND CenturyLink agrees that its cable franchise will terminate upon the expiration of the initial term of the franchise. Some highlights of the agreement are as follows: 1. CenturyLink may terminate the franchise earlier upon 90 days' notice to the franchising authority. 2. CenturyLink will remove any facilities that are used exclusively for cable service and pay for any damage to the rights-of-way due to these facilities. [Note: We don't believe there are any facilities used exclusively for cable service. CenturyLink remains subject to applicable permits, local code, and state statutes and rules for its communications system.] 3. CenturyLink will provide notice to its subscribers with information on how to replace their cable service. CenturyLink will also pay for the return of any equipment that they require to be returned or provide instructions for disposal of the equipment. 4. CenturyLink waives all cable franchise renewal rights. This agreement avoids an expensive compliance process that ultimately would likely provide little benefit to subscribers in the short or long term. It also clarifies that the CenturyLink franchises will terminate upon expiration of their initial term. POLICY OBJECTIVE To terminate the franchise agreement with Century Link. BUDGET IMPLICATIONS This will avoid the NSCC and the cities from an expensive renewal process. The cost of executing this agreement is $2,000, which is a shared cost among the Joint Powers Authority member cities and the NSCC. REQUESTED COUNCIL ACTION Approval of the Century Link Settlement. Prepared by: Dana Healy, Executive Director NSCC/NSAC Attachments: A: Century Link Settlement Document Arden Hills Falcon Heights Lauderdale Little Canada Mounds View New Brighton North Oaks Roseville St. Anthony SETTLEMENT AGREEMENT This Settlement Agreement (the "Agreement') is entered into on this day of 2019 by and between the North Suburban Communications Commission ('NSCC'), a Joint Powers Commission comprised of the municipalities of Arden Hills, Falcon Heights, Lauderdale, Little Canada, Mounds View, New Brighton, North Oaks, Roseville, and St. Anthony, Minnesota (the "Member Cities'), each of the Member Cities and Qwest Broadband Services, Inc. d/b/a CenturyLink (hereinafter "CenturyLink"). The NSCC, Member Cities and CenturyLink shall sometimes be referred to herein individually as a "Party" and collectively as the "Parties." I. RECITALS A. The NSCC, among other things, negotiates and administers cable franchises on behalf of the Member Cities. B. The Member Cities each, through the NSCC, and CenturyLink negotiated and entered into a cable franchise agreement with Qwest Broadband Services, Inc. ("QBSI") DBA CenturyLink (collectively the "Franchise"). C. The NSCC has asserted that CenturyLink may be in violation of the Franchise for: (i) allegedly no longer aspiring to complete a reasonable build -out of its cable system within five years; (ii) allegedly no longer competing for Cable Service customers and not even trying to have market-based success; and (iii) allegedly not expending any effort to deploy its system in a shorter time period than allegedly required (collectively "Alleged Franchise Violations"). D. CenturyLink disputes the Alleged Franchise Violations, and specifically claims that it remains in compliance with the Franchise, including the market-based success language in the franchise; any build requirement set forth in the Franchise; and providing service as required in the Franchise. E. Each cable franchise agreement between each Member City and CenturyLink has a term of five years and expires between November 2020 and January 2021 per the cable franchise agreements (the "Initial Term"). F. It is the intent of the Parties to establish a process whereby the Member Cities and the NSCC will not pursue the Alleged Franchise Violations in exchange for the promises contained herein. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the terms, conditions, covenants, considerations, mutual promises contained herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged by the Parties, and intending to be legally bound, the Parties agree as follows: IL AGREEMENT 1. Effective Date. This Agreement shall be effective on the date first written above (the "Effective Date"). 2. Franchise Term. The Parties agree that the Franchise shall terminate and CenturyLink shall cease providing Cable Service in each Member City at the expiration of the Initial Term; provided however that CenturyLink may elect to terminate the Franchise at an earlier date upon 90 days' notice to each Member City. Upon any termination or expiration of the Franchise, CenturyLink shall cease providing Cable Service in the City. 3. Removal of Facilities at Expiration of Franchise. Pursuant to Section 10.4 of the Franchise, CenturyLink shall remove any facilities that are used exclusively to provide Cable Service. CenturyLink shall not be required to remove any facilities that are used in another of CenturyLink's, or its affiliates, networks, including facilities used to provide broadband Internet access services or voice communications services. Any damage to the rights-of-way related to facilities used exclusively to provide Cable Service (if any) in any Member City shall promptly be repaired at CenturyLink's cost. In the event CenturyLink fails to make such repairs, each Member City may make the necessary repairs and CenturyLink shall pay for such repairs within thirty (30) days of receipt of the invoice. 4. Cable Subscriber Transition. CenturyLink shall provide at least 60 days written notice to its Cable Service subscribers of its intent to terminate its Cable Service product in each Member City and provide information on options available to its subscribers to replace the service. CenturyLink shall provide all of its Cable Subscribers with instructions on how to return or otherwise dispose of all CenturyLink on premises equipment (e.g., Set Top Boxes and remote controls). If CenturyLink requires the return of the on premises equipment, CenturyLink will provide its cable subscribers with a prepaid return shipping label and will not charge subscribers for the return of such equipment returned within 30 days of the disconnection date. 5. Franchise Renewal. CenturyLink hereby waives any and all franchise renewal rights under federal and state law. CenturyLink agrees not to seek any renewal or extension of the Franchise past the Initial Term. The NSCC and the Member Cities agree to refrain from further pursuing any claims against CenturyLink for the Alleged Franchise Violations. 6. Other Franchise Terms Remain Unchanged. Other than as set forth in this Agreement the Franchise remains unchanged. The Parties acknowledge a franchise fee review is being conducted by the NSCC, which is not resolved by this Agreement. 7. No Admission. Except as expressly stated herein, it is understood and agreed that agreements made by the Parties in this Agreement are not to be construed as an admission of a contract right or liability on the part of either Party, and such agreements are a compromise and settlement of the Alleged Franchise Violations and CenturyLink's ability to seek a formal or informal renewal or extension of the Franchise. 8. Right to Make Agreement. The Parties represent, warrant and covenant that they have the right and authority to enter into and make this Agreement and those executing this Agreement have all necessary authority to execute this Agreement and bind the respective Parties. 2 9. Default. In the event of breach of this Agreement, the non -defaulting party may seek judicial relief from a court of competent jurisdiction. The prevailing party shall be entitled to all of its costs and expenses including reasonable attorneys' fees. 10. No Transfer. Each Party represents, warrants and covenants that it has the sole right and authority to execute this Agreement, and that it has not previously assigned or transferred, or purported to have assigned or transferred, to any corporation, entity or person, any cause of action, judgment, lien, indebtedness, damage, obligation, loss, claim, liability, or right included in this Agreement. 11. Consultation With Attorneys And Advisors. The Parties expressly acknowledge that they have consulted, or have had the opportunity to consult, with whatever consultants, attorneys or other advisors each deems is appropriate in connection with the effect of this Agreement, and each Party assumes the risk arising from not seeking further additional consultation with such advisors. This Agreement has been, and shall be construed to have been, drafted by all of the Parties, so that the rule of construing the ambiguities against the drafter shall have no force or effect. 12. Governing Law. The validity, construction, interpretation and administration of this Agreement shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of Minnesota, without regard to the principles of conflict of laws. Any action arising out of, or relating to, this Agreement shall be filed in a court of competent jurisdiction in Minnesota. Each Party hereby consents to the jurisdiction of such courts for the purposes described in this Section. 13. Integration Clause.

Background The City Council previously discussed creating a Public Works Office Support Specialist at their September 16, 2019 City Council work session, the background memo is attached for reference (see Attachment A). Following the work session, a job description was created for the new position (see Attachment B). This new position would be a full-time, benefit eligible position and would be at Grade 7 on the pay scale ($22.70 - $28.76 per hour, estimated budget for 2020). Anticipated process: -Council approves authorization to recruit -Staff advertises job opening -Staff reviews applications, interviews candidates, and selects a finalist -Staff will add their recommendation to the consent calendar of a future meeting This position will not be brought forward to the Personnel Committee or City Council for future consideration, except for final approval at a City Council meeting. Budget Impact This position is not budgeted, but would take the place of the budgeted working foreman; this position falls to a lower grade on the pay scale and would lead to a cost savings in the budget of approximately $17,000 ($7,700 General Fund savings and $9,300 other funds savings). Attachment Attachment A: September 16, 2019 Work Session Memo Attachment B: Public Works Office Support Specialist Job Description Attachment A 'It �I�EN HILLS MEMORANDUM DATE: September 16, 2019 TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers FROM: Dave Perrault, City Administrator SUBJECT: Public Works Administrative Assistant Discussion Budgeted Amount: Actual Amount: Funding Source: $91,000 $74,000 Salary Split For Council Consideration Council may provide direction or feedback on moving forward with a Public Works Administrative Assistant position. Background The staffing of Public Works is being reviewed in -conjunction with the discussion surrounding the Public Works Director/City Engineer discussion. With the input of the current interim Public Works Director/City Engineer, Public Works has a need for an administrative assistant position to assist the Public Works Department with day-to-day operations, this position would report to the Superintendent. Currently, all administrative functions fall to the Superintendent and Public Works Director/City Engineer. Especially during large projects, this can hinder the ability of staff to operate effectively. The new position would likely fall into a similar grade/step scale as our current Office Support Specialist (front desk) position (Grade 7, $22.70 to $28.76, these are 2020 budget numbers). This position would assist with: • Receive and respond to questions and requests for service from residents • Implement a work order system for the Public Works Department • Coordinate material orders and inventory • Implement and monitor training and safety program for the department • Coordinate MS4 Stormwater Permit data collection and recording • Prepare informational mailings and notices for Public Works activities • Document work load status and performance measure data Page 1 of 1 This was brought to the Personnel Committee on August 15, 2019, and they were supportive of moving this forward for discussion with the full Council. The Interim Public Works Director/City Engineer will be available at the work session to provide more insight and answer questions. If Council wants to move forward, staff will create a job description and bring back an authorization to post at a future meeting. Budget Impact This position will not have an adverse impact on the 2020 budget as there is a Public Works Working Foreman currently budgeted, but not filled. Staff believes that an administrative position would be more beneficial, and a working foreman would not be needed with current operations. The budget for the working foreman is $91,000 (including benefits), an administrative position with benefits is estimated to be $74,000, leading to an overall cost savings of approximately $17,000 ($7,700 in the General Fund and the rest across other funds).

Staff is requesting approval of a Professional Services Agreement with WBS for the preparation and completion of the proposed study in the amount not to exceed $40,054.00 (Attachment A). Background/Discussion On May 22, 2019, the City Council approved Planning Case 18-014 for a Final Planned Unit Development (PUD) for Mounds View High School. As a condition of approval, the Planned Unit Development Agreement shall be fully executed prior to July 31, 2019. However, at their July 22, 2019 meeting the City Council approved an extension until September 30, 2019. One of the issues to be addressed in the Planned Unit Development Agreement is the design and delivery of the pedestrian improvements to Lake Valentine Road. Staff has been working with WSB to develop a scope of work (Attachment A) for this project. This extension provided WSB the additional time necessary to finalize the scope of work. The completed scope of work has been reviewed and approved by City and school district staff. The City is implementing a pass-through billing process for this study. The $40,054.00 escrow previously submitted by the school district will be utilized for immediate payment for the preparation of the study. Budget Impact NA Attachment A. WSB Scope and Cost Estimate for Lake Valentine Roadway Improvement Recommendations Study Page 1 of 1 Attachment A Proposal to Provide Engineering Services To: Mr. Todd Blomstrom Public Works Director/City Engineer City of Arden Hills From: Sean Delmore, PE, PTOE Erik Seiberlich, Project Manager Date: July 30, 2019 Re: Scope and Cost Estimate for Lake Valentine Roadway Improvement Recommendations Study The City is currently working with Mounds View Public Schools and Wold Architects & Engineers on site developments for the Mounds View High School on Valentine Road. As part of the school development process, a traffic and parking lot study was completed by Wenck in May of 2019. The City of Arden Hills has received negative comments about the future site plan and is very concerned about the limited scope of that study as well as the safety and operational deficiencies in some of the key recommendations. WSB was asked to develop a more comprehensive set of recommendations based on a broader look at the area rather than try to fit recommendations in to the existing constraints of the Lake Valentine Road corridor. This broader look assumes that geometric revisions can be made to the existing roadway and parking lot entrances. Also, recommendations will be made for modifications to the north parking lot and entrance area (future parent drop off) to the school to enhance the safety and operations of the future pedestrian crossing. The following is a summarized scope for professional engineering services relating to improvements proposed for Lake Valentine Road in the direct vicinity of Mounds View High School for the City of Arden Hills. This proposal includes data collection, development of concepts for improved circulation, alternative evaluation, and recommendations for site revisions and appropriate traffic control adjacent to Mounds View High School on Lake Valentine Road. The study will be completed in collaboration with the City of Arden Hills and Mounds View Public Schools. The project tasks include: Data Collection — Use video cameras at up to four locations for weekday data collection. The extracted counts will be used along with 2018 data to determine the existing conditions a.m. and p.m. peak hour turning movement counts for use in modeling and analysis. As part of the traffic data collection, WSB staff will collect speed data and perform sight distance calculations to be used for the school speed zone evaluation. Staff will also review the most recent traffic study and document any hazards adjacent to the school and provide information on mitigation. Development of Concepts — The WSB team will create geometric concepts for the area. The concepts will be created based on the results of the traffic analysis and coordination with the City of Arden Hills. We anticipate three (3) concepts will be developed for the area. These concepts may include, but are not limited to, additional turn lanes, approach realignments, entrance relocations, entrance closures, and median additions. WSB will create a preliminary opinion on probable costs for each of the concepts. The concepts will be discussed with the City and further revisions will be made as requested. 3. Traffic Forecasting — Traffic will be forecasted to 2040 for the study areas based on expected growth and changes in traffic patterns: a. Redistribute trips based on the alternative concepts including restricting turning movements. b. Redistribute trips through the study intersections based on potential access location modifications. c. Review and verify traffic forecasting assumptions with City staff. A Forecasting and Assumptions Memo will be provided to the City for approval prior to beginning the modeling and analysis task for future scenarios. 4. Modeling and Analysis — Develop Synchro/SimTraffic model for the study location to analyze a.m. and p.m. peak hour operations and queuing conditions for the following scenarios: a. Existing Conditions (2019) b. With Improvements (2020) i. With and without access modifications c. With Improvements (2040) i. With and without access modifications 5. Justification Report — Develop a justification report for the uncontrolled school crossing location based on information collected, analysis and recommendation for the appropriate traffic control device. 6. Documentation — Prepare a traffic report documenting the study process complete with background, methodology, data and forecasting, analysis results, findings/ recommendations and potential mitigation measures. Figures and appendix materials will be included. WSB will also prepare an engineering and traffic investigation as prescribed by the commissioner of transportation per Minnesota Statutes 169.14 to allow the City of Arden Hills to establish a school speed limit within a school zone adjacent to Mounds View High School, including the recommended layout of school advance signs prescribed by the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices. The extent of the route plan development will be limited to evaluation and safety of roadway and parking facilities adjacent to the school property. 7. Project Management and Meetings a. Administration - This task will consist of management and administration of the project team as well as project coordination and communication with the City of Arden Hills on the project. Weekly phone calls will be scheduled with the City's project manager to provide updates, ask questions, review budget/schedule, etc. b. Quality Assurance and Quality Control (QA/QC) - WSB has a Quality Management Plan (QMP) that will ensure the work is done correctly the first time, focused on preventing problems and errors rather than reacting to them. Reviews are completed by a qualified/trained individual knowledgeable in the design standards. At the core of our Quality Management Plan is the detail checking process. All deliverables provided to the City of Arden Hills on this project will undergo a rigorous detail checking process. 8. Public and AgencV Involvement a. City Council Meetings — WSB will attend one meeting with the City Council. WSB will prepare a PowerPoint presentation and provide handouts for distribution. Drafts of the presentation and handout will be provided to the City for review and comment before finalizing. Agency Coordination - WSB will coordinate with local, regional and state agencies as needed to advance the project. As part of this scope, two meetings are assumed. Additional meetings/ conference calls can be provided if needed. WSB will lead the agency coordination meetings. An agenda, meeting materials and meeting summary will be provided. 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NEI 00000000 N CO CO O CO N V O CO V CO CO N r- M lO M O) C Cn M W V CO O CO — V N m CO C+) fR 1 Ki 1 6f1 1 6f1 1 6f1 6f1 1 6f1 1 fR VO coM 00 N V T 7 N to N C O r C R E E O V uJ R Q' 0 = CO V N N O V c � 00 0 E R a o E 0 a y T E W U > _ 3 R d.

Planning Commission and City Council Land Use Application Public Notification Procedure State Statutes require a city to notify all property owners within a minimum of 350 feet of a subject property when a public hearing is to occur related to a land use or zoning application. The City of Arden Hills intends to follow state law regarding proper notification, and further seeks to appropriately engage and inform the public regarding all land use applications that are being reviewed by the City. As such, the City Council has directed Staff to prepare a Land Use Application Public Notification Policy that sets notification standards that go beyond the state requirements. 1.

AGENDA ITEMS , N A. Old Snelling and County Road E PMP Interim Public Works Director/City Engineer Blomstrom stated the City's adopted 2019-2023 Capital Improvement Program includes proposed improvements to Old Snelling Avenue from County Road E to Trunk Highway 51 and improvements to the intersection at County Road E. The Ramsey County Transportation Improvement Program currently identifies project funding for intersection improvement at County Road E and Old Snelling, which is anticipated to include construction of a roundabout. The County is supportive of the City leading the delivery of these improvements under a cooperative agreement. Interim Public Works Director/City Engineer Blomstrom reported the purpose of this project is to address infrastructure challenges within the proposed project corridor. Pavement conditions along Old Snelling Avenue have deteriorated, with transverse cracking, alligator cracking and potholes. The pavement condition rating of Old Snelling Avenue is below 30. The intersection of County Road E and Old Snelling currently has significant delays and queuing issues during the PM peak hour. In addition, the City and County have recently identified deteriorated sections of sanitary sewer and storm sewer within the intersection and extending north of County Road E. A potential trail extension along Old Snelling Avenue is also being considered. ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION — AUGUST 12, 2019 2 Interim Public Works Director/City Engineer Blomstrom explained Old Snelling Avenue improvements are anticipated to involve funding derived from special assessments. The special assessment process must follow the City's current special assessment policy and maintain compliance with the requirements of Minnesota Statutes Chapter 429. The initial step in the special assessment process is to complete a feasibility report. Due to project specific challenges, including soil conditions, utility coordination and potential easement acquisition, the feasibility report is recommended to include a site survey, geotechnical investigation, and preliminary schematic layout. Councilmember McClung asked if there was enough space along the roadway for a trail. Interim Public Works Director/City Engineer Blomstrom indicated there was adequate space. Councilmember Holden questioned how much property would have to be acquired in order to complete a roundabout. Interim Public Works Director/City Engineer Blomstrom discussed the amount of the right of way available at this intersection. He anticipated the City would have to acquire some right of way in the southwest corner of this intersection. He commented further on how the City and County would fund this project. Councilmember Holden expressed concern that the City would be forced to pay $400,000 because the County deemed it necessary to turn this intersection into a roundabout. She asked what the next step would be. Interim Public Works Director/City Engineer Blomstrom indicated the City would have to complete a feasibility report, survey, geotechnical work and neighborhood meeting. After these items were completed the Council could bid the project. He recommended the Council order a feasibility report at the next Council meeting in order to allow the Council to hit the February bid dates. Councilmember Holden stated she was concerned with the fact the City would have two major roadway projects being completed in 2020 with this project and Lexington Avenue. Interim Public Works Director/City Engineer Blomstrom reported the County has pushed the Lexington Avenue project to 2021. Councilmember Holden supported this item moving forward but recommended the City receive several bids for the feasibility study. Mayor Grant questioned how much a feasibility study would cost the City. Interim Public Works Director/City Engineer Blomstrom estimated the expense to be roughly $50,000 and noted this would include the geotechnical work. ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION — AUGUST 12, 2019 3 Mayor Grant supported moving forward with this project given the fact the County wants to move forward with this improvement project. He noted the City had fund set aside for this project. Councilmember McClung asked how the City has used in the past for its feasibility reports. City Administrator Perrault explained the City has used SEH, Kimley-Horn, WSB, and Bolton & Menk. Councilmember McClung recommended staff speak with these companies and request an RFP for the project. Councilmember Holden supported staff pursuing several bids for the feasibility report as well. Council consensus was to direct staff to request bids for the feasibility report and bring back an order for a feasibility report at the August 26, 2019 City Council meeting. B. Neighborhood Meeting Notification Discussion Community Development Manager/City Planner Mrosla explained at their May 16, 2011 meeting the City Council approved the Land Use Application Public Notification Policy. The policy requires staff to notify residents within a given distance from the subject parcel where the development is occurring by mail of upcoming meeting Planning Commission and City Council meetings. The notification mailing distance is determined by whether the planning case requires a public hearing, and if the project is large and has special circumstances. Staff has been utilizing the Land Use Application Public Notification Policy mailing distances when notifying residents of neighborhood meeting. The rationale for utilizing this policy is that the intent of a neighborhood meeting is to reach the same people who will be notified of the public hearing. Community Development Manager/City Planner Mrosla stated the intent of a neighborhood meeting is to allow the applicant to garner feedback from those directly impacted by the project and allow them to make improvements to reduce concerns and impacts. In most communities, neighborhood meetings are generally held for applications for preliminary plats, conditional use permits, planned unit developments and/or rezoning proposals that are located adjacent to or within a residential zoning district. The intent of the neighborhood meeting is to expand and enhance the distribution of information to the residents directly impacted by a development proposal. However, different communities have varying policies when it comes to neighborhood meetings notification requirements. A review of five (5) adjacent communities was reviewed with the Council. Community Development Manager/City Planner Mrosla reported cities generally have the same requirements when it comes to neighborhood meetings. Only Vadnais Heights and Roseville require neighborhood meetings for certain application types. All cities provide addresses to the applicants for mailings. The majority of cities above require notices to be mailed to all properties within 350 feet of the subject property, and then allow staff to use their discretion to expand the notification area if deemed necessary. None of the cities surveyed post ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION — AUGUST 12, 2019 4 neighborhood meetings notification on their websites or on social media unless the City is facilitating the development. The cities do post public hearings on their websites. Community Development Manager/City Planner Mrosla commented staff is reviewing options to post land use application information on the city's website. A growing number of cities are providing development information on their websites. The information generally includes a brief summary of the project and contact information. This allows residents not impacted by the project to review the proposal and contact staff if they have any questions or concerns. He requested feedback from the Council on the neighborhood meeting notification process. Councilmember Holden stated she heard from several different people at National Night Out that more people should be invited to neighborhood meetings and not just adjacent property owners. Mayor Grant supported the City notifying residents that live within 500 feet of a project area to neighborhood meetings. He indicated he could be lobbied to go even higher on this. Planning Consultant Kansier recommended the Council find a number and stick with it. She did not believe the Council should be using different numbers for different projects. Mayor Grant suggested the notification radius be set at 1,000 feet. Community Development Manager/City Planner Mrosla stated this could be set as the notification standard. Council consensus was to set the neighborhood meeting notification radius to 1,000 feet. Community Development Manager/City Planner Mrosla asked if the Council wanted to require developers to hold neighborhood meetings for all preliminary plats, conditional use permits, planned unit developments, rezonings, comprehensive plan amendments that are located within neighborhood developments. Councilmember Holden asked when these meetings were held. Community Development Manager/City Planner Mrosla reported the neighborhood meeting could be held prior to the developer making application or after an application has been submitted. Councilmember McClung stated he liked the idea of developers meeting with neighbors prior to submitting an application. Mayor Grant supported neighborhood meetings for all of the staff listed requests. Councilmember McClung agreed. Community Development Manager/City Planner Mrosla commented a second neighborhood meeting could be held after an application is submitted after plans have been revised to take into consideration the neighbors concerns and prior to the item being reviewed by the City Council. ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION — AUGUST 12, 2019 5 Councilmember Holden supported this recommendation. Community Development Manager/City Planner Mrosla asked if the Council would allow staff to provide developers with lists of addresses. He explained other cities do provide this service. Mayor Grant commented there was not a huge cost to the City to provide the addresses. For this reason, he supported the City providing developers with addresses. Councilmember Holden expressed concern with Roseville properly notifying Arden Hills residents of potential developments. Community Development Manager/City Planner Mrosla described how technology had changed to allow cities to grab addresses within the GIS system across city lines. Councilmember McClung stated he could support the 1,000 -foot notification radius while allowing staff to increase this for certain or special projects. Councilmember Holden indicated she would like to see the City's neighborhood meeting notices streamlined. Community Development Manager/City Planner Mrosla commented he would look at revising the information that was included on the notifications. C. B2 Zoning Planning Consultant Kansier explained at the Work Session meeting on June 18, 2018, the City Council discussed setback requirements for buildings and parking lots in the B-2 District. The B-2 District is generally located along the County Road E corridor between Highway 51 and Lexington Avenue North. For new development in the B-2 District, the Zoning Code currently requires buildings to be located along County Road E and parking to be located behind buildings. The City Council directed staff to bring forward possible changes to the design standards that would allow for more flexibility in the placements of buildings and parking in the B-2 District. The City Council also requested that the fagade transparency requirements also be reviewed. Planning Consultant Kansier stated it should be noted the additional design standards for the 13- 2 District included in Section 1325.05, Subd. 8 of the Zoning Code also apply to the B-3 District. Any changes made to these design standards would also apply to new development and redevelopment in both the B-2 and B-3 Districts. The B-3 District is generally located along the west side of Lexington Avenue from County Road E to I-694. The B-3 District also includes several properties on the north side of Red Fox Road and on the south side of Grey Fox Road in proximity to Lexington Avenue. Planning Consultant Kansier indicated the Council reviewed potential language relating to setbacks and building facades at the September 17, 2018, workshop. The staff recommended revising the front yard setback requirement from 20 feet to 50 feet. Staff also recommended removing the requirement that at least 50 percent of the largest building on each site be ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION — AUGUST 12, 2019 6 constructed at the front setback line of 20 feet. Staff recommended the following parking location requirements be deleted: • Placing parking between the street right-of-way and a building shall be discouraged • No more than 50 percent of the parking on a site may be between buildings or in the side yards Planning Consultant Kansier explained the Council agreed with the recommended changes in setbacks; however, the Council did have some concerns about changes to the building fagade requirements. Councilmember Holden asked if the proposed changes would address the no wake zone and snow removal concerns. Planning Consultant Kansier reported this was the case. She commented further on the setback standards that were being proposed. She explained the proposed changes would ensure the backs of buildings were not facing the front. Further discussion ensued regarding spandrel glass. Mayor Grant thanked staff for provided an update on the B2 Zoning District. D. Clear Cutting and Grading Planning Consultant Kansier explained at the August 20, 2018, City Council workshop, the City Attorney reviewed a draft ordinance that was intended to address vegetation removal and clear cutting. At that meeting, the City Council was concerned the ordinance did not address the issue of clearcutting a lot and claiming the trees were diseased after the fact. To address the Council's concerns, additional language is proposed. The additional language includes: • Adding a definition of Land Disturbance Activity to the Zoning Code definitions. The definition is the same as that included in Chapter 15, Erosion and Sedimentation Control. • An amendment to Section 1325.055, Tree Preservation, Subd. 2, stating `It shall be unlawful for any person to engage directly or indirectly in a land disturbing activity, as defined in this ordinance, unless such person has applied for and obtained approval of a tree preservation plan. No preliminary plat, building permit, grading permit, or other City required permit shall be granted unless approval of a tree preservation plan has been obtained. " • An amendment to Section 1325.055, Subd. 5, D, stating, "Prior to removal, all diseased or nuisance trees must be clearly identified on the site, and the diseased or nuisance state must be certified by a certified tree inspector, forester or arborist. " Planning Consultant Kansier reported the proposed language is intended to codify the need for a tree preservation plan prior to clearcutting a site. Clearcutting is part of a larger infill development discussion. Staff is meeting with the City of Edina staff on August 15th to discuss their ordinances and policies in regards to residential infill development. Following the meeting ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION — AUGUST 12, 2019 7 with Edina, staff intends on having future discussions on setbacks, neighborhood characteristics, and infill construction management. Councilmember Scott asked if additional language should be considered for trees that are damaged during a storm. Planning Consultant Kansier stated this could be considered. Further discussion ensued regarding tree loss and the percentage of significant tree loss that should be allowed. Councilmember Holden stated she did not believe the current clearcutting language made any sense because a developer could clear two out of three lots at this time within the Ordinance. Community Development Manager/City Planner Mrosla indicated the language within the Ordinance could be strengthened to address clearcutting concerns. He noted the infill and erosion control language could also be amended. He stated he could report back to the Council after meeting with the City of Edina to see how this City addressed these items. Councilmember McClung indicated he would like to develop a little bit of tooth on how to address these matters and for there to be a clear penalty in place. E. Code Enforcement Discussion Community Development Manager/City Planner Mrosla explained a general question was raised if the City's ordinance relating to code enforcement needs to be clearer for enforcement, or if it is sufficient. Community Development staff and the City's prosecuting attorney (Kelly and Lemmons) discussed the City's ordinance and how effective it is with regards to code enforcement. Staff and the attorney also discussed a specific complaint regarding cars and recreational vehicle (RV) parked on a property, as well as a non -conforming fence. Staff and the attorney agreed the current ordinance is sufficient for general code enforcement, and does not need further clarification at this time. Community Development Manager/City Planner Mrosla stated however, every code enforcement case has its own unique set situations and complexities. Generally, if a violation of the code is found to exist, a letter will be sent which outlines the steps that need to be taken to correct the violation. In many instances, residents are simply unaware of the Code and correct the situation immediately. In the event the correction is not made in a reasonable amount of time, staff has numerous means to resolve the matter. Below are common code enforcement issues that our inspectors encounter with regards to vehicle and RV parking on residential lots. Code Section: 800.03 - Parking Regulations • Prohibited Parking Areas. In all residential districts, parking shall be prohibited on any area of private property except on designated driveways or parking lots. • Parking in Driveways. In all residential districts, there shall be no more than four vehicles parked on a driveway. Code Section: 1325.12 — Recreational Vehicle, Utility Trailer, Riding Lawn Mower, and Watercraft Outdoor Storage: ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION — AUGUST 12, 2019 8 • No more than three (3) RVs, utility trailers, riding lawn mowers, or watercraft are permitted. Not more than one (1) of the three (3) may be a motor home, travel trailer, camper, or other similar type of RV. RVs and watercraft on a trailer shall be considered as one. • The rear yard is fully enclosed by a six-foot privacy fence or is substantially screened from adjacent properties as determined by the Zoning Administrator; which may include fencing, vegetation, or both. • RVs, utility trailers, riding lawn mowers, and watercraft shall not be stored within the principal structure side yard setback as required in the underlying zone, and shall be at least ten (10) feet from the rear property line. If both side and rear yards are available for storage, then the location with the least visibility from streets and neighboring property, as determined by the Zoning Administrator, shall be used for such storage. • It shall not be stored forward of the principal structure, except as otherwise provided for in this section. • Short -Term Parking without Permit. Licensed and operable RVs, utility trailers, riding lawn mowers, and watercraft of any length or height may be parked in driveways for the sole expressed purpose of loading, unloading, and cleaning for a period not to exceed seventy-two (72) hours, provided that they are not within five (5) feet of the curb or, if there is no curb, the edge of the road driving surface, and do not encroach upon a pedestrian walkway. Councilmember Holden expressed concern with how RV's were defined within City Code. She stated she would like to see this addressed in order to assist the Code Enforcement staff. Further discussion ensued regarding a specific lot in the City that had numerous code violations. City Administrator Perrault explained a more clear definition of a camper could be drafted within City Code to address this concern. He reported the City would be taking a more aggressive role in enforcing these issues. Community Development Manager/City Planner Mrosla commented on how it was important for certain standards to be met in with respect to the City's housing stock in order to keep housing values high. Councilmember Holden asked if the City was aware of any hoarding houses. Community Development Manager/City Planner Mrosla stated he was not aware of any hoarding houses in Arden Hills. He provided further comment on the letters that would be sent regarding park land encroachment. He reported staff was considering including a brochure with these letters to note common code violations in the City. Councilmember McClung supported this idea and suggested this same brochure be sent out in utility bills on a yearly basis. He wanted to see the City being more proactive when pursuing code enforcement issues that were complaint based. He stated the community was aging and he wanted to see the City encouraging homeowners to keep their house in alignment with City Code. ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION — AUGUST 12, 2019 9 Community Development Manager/City Planner Mrosla stated education was key and staff was also going to be putting more information regarding code violations in the City newsletter. He reported additional information would be placed on the City's website as well. 2. COUNCIL COMMENTS AND STAFF UPDATES Councilmember Holden asked if staff had updated water usage information. City Administrator Perrault reported he would have Finance Director Bauman distribute this information to the Council. Mayor Grant discussed the City getting new monitors on the Council dais. Mayor Grant asked if the City newsletter situation had been addressed with Arden Manor. City Administrator Perrault reported the situation had been remedied with the printer. Councilmember Holden requested a copy of the City's records retention policy.

Discussion On August 26, 2019, the City Council adopted Resolution 2019-026 ordering the preparation of a feasibility report for the 2020 Pavement Management Program, including project survey work and a geotechnical evaluation. As part of the project planning process, the City would hire a geotechnical firm to complete soil borings along the project corridor. The project consultant will use this information to prepare a geotechnical report and pavement design. The scope of services includes 17 standard penetration test borings and soil laboratory testing. The City solicited quotes from three geotechnical firms, with the following responses received on September 12th. Both NTI and AET are well qualified firms for the proposed scope of work. NTI provided a lower fee and is available to complete the work on a shorter timeline. Firm Northern Technologies, LLC American Engineering Testing, Inc Braun Intertec Fee Delivery Time $14,250.00 22 days $22,500.00 30 days Did not respond Staff recommends awarding geotechnical services to NTI for the Old Snelling Avenue and County Road E Improvement Project.

Attention: Mr. Hector Flores 3535 Vadnais Center Drive St. Paul, Minnesota 55110 RE: Proposal for Geotechnical Services Old Snelling Avenue Roadway Improvements Arden Hills, Minnesota NTI Proposal P9722 Attachment A Unearthing confidence - We are pleased to submit our revised proposal to perform Geotechnical Services for the above referenced project. The purpose of this study is to collect representative soil samples, analyze the subsurface soil and groundwater conditions and to furnish a geotechnical data report. The proposed project consists of improvements to the existing Old Snelling Avenue between County Road E and Snelling Avenue North in Arden Hills, Minnesota. SCOPE OF WORK The following is our proposed work scope based on the request for proposal provided by Short Elliott Hendrickson Inc. (SEH). NTI understands that the City's Representative (SEH, Inc.) will mark the boring locations prior to the start of field work. NTI will contact the Minnesota "One -Call" system for clearance of public utilities within the area of the soil borings. NTI will then mobilize a truck mounted drill rig to the site to drill seventeen (17) standard penetration test (SPT) soil borings. The borings will be performed at the client -designated locations and to depths of approximately 14.5 feet below existing grade. The total lineal feet of drilling proposed is 246.5 feet. The borings may be terminated early if soil/bedrock conditions resulting in practical auger refusal are encountered prior to the proposed termination depths. If fill, organic soils, or soft/loose soils are encountered near the termination of the borings, we will contact the City's Representative (SEH, Inc.) before proceeding. A boring will not be terminated if there is no recovery in the final sample, unless practical auger refusal is encountered or an N -value of 50 or greater is encountered. Precision Expertise • Geotechnical - Materials FARGO BISMARCK GRAND FORKS INVER GROVE HEIGHTS RAMSEY RAPID CITY A Proposal for Geotechnical Services Old Snelling Avenue Roadway Improvements %11� Arden Hills, Minnesota Due to the anticipated traffic levels and speed limits for the project area, we propose that traffic control via work ahead signs and flaggers should be sufficient for traffic control at the boring locations. Soil sampling in the borings will be performed at 2 -1/2 -foot intervals to the termination depth of the borings. Soil sampling will be performed in general accordance with ASTM D 1586. A geotechnical engineer will visually classify field -collected samples in general accordance with ASTM D 2488. Each soil sample's color, relative moisture, SPT N -value, relative density, consistency and estimated compressive strength will be documented on soil boring logs. NTI has assumed that there is reasonable access to the proposed borehole locations. This would include slopes suitable for traversing with a geotechnical drill rig, safe working distances from utilities, removal of site obstructions that prohibit access to the proposed borehole locations, etc. In addition, drill rig access to the proposed boring locations may result in cracking of onsite pavements or sidewalks and rutting of site soils. NTI will take reasonable precautions to prevent such damage but repair and final restoration inclusive of settled borings shall be performed by others at no charge to NTI. NTI's proposal does not include tree clearing or ground pressure reducing mats, etc. If required, NTI will contact the signatory of this proposal for approval of additional fees prior to implementation. We will measure for the presence of groundwater or lack thereof when we complete the soil borings. We will also take a water level reading 10 minutes after water is first encountered, and upon termination of the borehole. We will backfill the soil borings with soil cuttings or high solids bentonite grout to comply with current MDH regulations. We will perform laboratory tests on samples selected by a representative of SEH. Our proposal fee includes the following: • Moisture Content tests (70) • Atterberg Limits tests (5) • Mechanical sieve through the No. 200 only (5) • Mechanical nest of sieves through No. 200 (5) • Standard Proctor tests (3) • Hveem Stabilometer (R -Value) tests (3) Upon completion of the field and laboratory work, a geotechnical data report will be prepared. The report will include the logs of the borings, boring location diagram, and the results of the field and laboratory tests. NTI's engineers are also available to provide geotechnical guidance to the design team, evaluate value engineered alternatives, review earthwork, groundwater control, and other civil plans and specifications as an additional service. NTI's engineers, special inspectors and technicians are available to provide construction and materials testing services once the project construction begins. This provides professional continuity of services throughout the design and construction of the project. Proposal for Geotechnical Services Old Snelling Avenue Roadway Improvements Arden Hills, Minnesota DELIVERABLES NTI will provide an electronic PDF copy of the final report to the City's Representative (SEH, Inc.). Two bound hard copies are available upon request. COST We will perform the base geotechnical exploration and report described above for a fixed fee of $14,250. Additional services outside of the scope of services outlined above will be invoiced as shown below. NTI will contact the design team for these additional services prior to commencement. Additional Item Cost Additional drilling on the same mobilization $22 per lineal foot Additional Mobilizations $500 each Additional MDH permits $125 each Snow Removal / Tree Clearing / Ground Mats / Etc. Cost Plus 15% Additional Laboratory Tests Moisture Content $10.00 per test Grain Size Analysis Test (no hydrometer) $115.00 per test Grain Size Analysis (#200 only) Atterberg Limits test Standard Proctor test R -value (Hveem Stabilometer) Post report consultation, in excess of 2 hours Other services $70.00 per test $115.00 per test 5125.00 oer test $550.00 per test $125 per hour Per our standard fee schedule, less 10% Our fees assume that the soil can be disposed of on site, such as by thin spreading near the borehole. Additional fees may apply for handling the spoils or for containerizing (drumming) spoils. Environmental hazard testing may be required for disposal to a landfill, if needed. NTI's fees assume that the work may be performed with standard construction Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), including hard hats, safety glasses, hearing protection and visibility equipment such as vests. If additional PPE is required, such as for drilling in an environmentally contaminated area or in a confined space, additional fees will apply. All geotechnical borings will be abandoned per MDH requirements. SCHEDULE Upon receiving authorization to proceed, the field work will typically begin in approximately 10 to 15 business days and will take approximately 2 days to complete. The report will be issued to you within 5 to 10 business days after the completion of the field and laboratory work. Boring logs and verbal information regarding our findings can be provided within 2 to 3 days after the field work has been completed.

The project is substantially complete, and the contractor is preparing final payment documents for review by City staff. Five percent is being withheld from the work completed in accordance with the contract documents. Two Change Orders occurred on this project during construction. Change Order No. 1 was approved on January 28th, 2019 in the amount of $27,125.19, due to watermain extension with new hydrant and new service, floodplain grading requested by Rice Creek watershed, culvert length reduction (Cost savings), and, contaminated soil landfill disposal. Change Order No. 2 is a result of the need to extend the limits of the bituminous patch due to poor pavement conditions north and south of the work area. Page 1 of 2 Financial Impact This project is substantially complete. Final payment will be requested upon receiving the required project close-out documents from the contractor. The total change order amount of $40,910.05 is approximately 10 percent of the original contract amount. The recommended payment amount for Payment No. 3 differs from the recommendation provided by Kimley Horn. The City typically maintains five (5) percent retainage until receipt of the close-out documents. An amended Payment No. 3 form will be prepared next week.

Background/Discussion In September of 2017, the City approved a contract with Michels Corporation for the 2017 Sewer Lining Project which included costs in the amount of $190,774.00 for sanitary sewer lining work. In May of 2018, the City approved a contract with Northwest Asphalt for the 2018 PMP project which included costs of $94,106.05 for sewer lining, sewer replacement, and manhole reconstruction. These projects were initiated in response to surcharges by Metropolitan Council Environmental Services (MCES) for exceeding the maximum sanitary sewer allowed from various meter sheds due to inflow/infiltration into the sanitary sewer system. Current estimates indicate approximately sixteen miles of sewer lines are left to be lined of the City's approximate fifty miles of sewer lines. The City applied for the 2017 MCES Municipal Grant Program for reimbursement of a percentage of the construction cost for the Sanitary Sewer Lining Project and was notified of approval to participate in the program. The next step in the Grant Program process is to submit final construction cost information along with a resolution authorizing the City to enter into a Grant Agreement for the final reimbursement. The estimated amount of the grant proceeds is $71,220.02.

The City Council will be asked to make a formal decision regarding the application under Agenda Item IOB. Background Due to a complaint, staff inspected 1870 Glenpaul Avenue on August 15, 2019. Staff noted excessive vegetation growth and the accumulation of tree branches and debris. At that time staff determined the property was in violation of the following subsections of City Code Section 602.02 Public Nuisance Affecting Health: Subd. 6. All noxious weeds and other growths of vegetation upon public or private property in excess of eight (8) inches. Subd. 9. Accumulation of manure, tree branches, cut trees, grass clippings, bottles, rubbish, trash, refuse, junk and other abandoned materials, metals including aluminum or tin cans, or lumber Following the initial inspection, staff sent a letter to the property owner requesting they correct the issues by August 22, 2019. A follow-up inspection on August 22, 2018, revealed the violations had not been corrected. City of Arden Hills City Council Meeting - September 23, 2019 P:IPlanninglCodeEnforcementWbatementsU870 Glen Paul Page 1 of 2 In accordance with the City's accelerated abatement procedures in Section 602.07 of the City Code, a letter was mailed to the property owner and posted to the front door of the property on August 22, 2019. Based on the accelerated abatement procedures, the property owner was given until August 30th, 2019 to abate the nuisance. A follow-up inspection on September 4th showed that no action has been taken. A final notice of the public hearing to propose an accelerated abatement was posted and mailed on September 11th, 2019 when staff conducted a final follow up inspection and saw that the violations had not been addressed (Attachment A). Discussion Staff is requesting City Council issue an order for the proposed accelerated abatement. A previous order for an accelerated abatement for excessive vegetative growth on 1870 Glenpaul Avenue was issued on September 11th, 2017 and remained in effect through September 11th, 2019, when the abatement order expired. This renewal on the request for an abatement pertains to excessive vegetative growth and the accumulation of rubbish, trash, refuse, junk and other abandoned materials. Photos of the conditions on site were taken by inspectors on their most recent follow up inspection September 11th, 2019 shows that the property is still in violation (Attachment B). If approved, the abatement order will be valid for a two-year period expiring on September 23, 2021. The abatement order allows staff to order an abatement if the same or similar violations reoccur within the two-year period without additional City Council action. In accordance with the City's accelerated abatement procedures in Section 602.07 of the City Code, if the Council approves an accelerated abatement, the property owner has seven days from the Council's order to complete the work before the City can have the work completed. At such time, the City will have the necessary work completed to remediate the nuisance and charge 125 percent of the cost of the work, including administrative costs, back to the property owner. The charges can be certified against the property for collection with taxes if they are unpaid. Requested Action Due to the reoccurring nature of these types of violations, staff is requesting the City Council approve an order for an accelerated abatement of the property 1870 Glenpaul Avenue and to continue the abatement order for a two year period to expire on September 23rd, 2021.

Staff inspected the property on September 11th and determined there were code enforcement violations of noxious weeds in excess of eight inches (City Code 602.02 Subd. 6) and accumulations of junk and debris (City Code 660.02 Subd. 9). If the violation is not remedied by Friday, September 20, 2019, City will order an abatement as allowed under the Accelerated Abatement Procedure (City Code 602.07). Under the abatement order, the City will have the necessary work completed to remediate the nuisance and charge 125 percent of the cost of the work, including administrative costs, back to the property owner. The charges can be certified against the property for collection with taxes if they are unpaid. If the violation is not remediated by Friday, September 20, 2019, the City Council will hold an abatement hearing for the removal of noxious weeds and the accumulation of junk, and debris at their regular meeting scheduled for Monday, September 23, 2019 at 7:00 PM. You have the right to attend the hearing. If approved, the abatement order will be valid for a two-year period expiring on September 23, 2021. The abatement order allows staff to order an abatement if the same or similar violations reoccur within the two-year period without additional City Council action. The abatement process is not the City's preferred course of action. We would prefer to work with you to resolve this violation.

E Request: Sign Code Text Amendment Budgeted Amount: Actual Amount: Funding Source: N/A N/A N/A For Council Consideration Hold the required public hearing for the proposed Sign Code Text Amendment. The City Council will be asked to make a formal decision regarding the application under Agenda Item l oc. Background Expedite The Diehl has submitted an application for a Sign Code Text Amendment on behalf of McDonalds. The Applicant is requesting a Sign Code Text Amendment that would allow for dynamic display menu board signs at drive-through facilities. Over the last few years drive-through facilities have moved away from the traditional changeable copy drive-through menu boards to dynamic displays. Dynamic display signs are becoming the preferred method of internal and exterior menu boards. All of the existing drive-through menu boards in the community consist of changeable paper copies and are backlit by traditional bulbs. In the past staff has utilized free standing sign requirements or designated the signs as incidental signs. An incidental sign is any sign that is generally not understandable or readable from the property other than where the sign is located, such as from an adjacent property or a public street. Upon review, the majority of existing drive-through menu board signs were approved as incidental signs and were not evaluated as they were located out of view. The proposed amendment would require staff to review menu boards. City of Arden Hills City Council Meeting for September 23, 2019 Page 1 of 2 Requested Action: As previously stated, the Applicant on behalf of McDonald's is requesting to permit dynamic display menu board signs when located at drive-through facilities. The Applicant request would require amendments to the following sign code sections: • 1210.01 —Definitions —Add a definition for menu board signs. • 1230.02 - Prohibited Signs — Add exception to digital displays to permit digital display menu boards in drive-through facilities. • 1240.04 — New code section regulating menu boards signs. As part of the application, the Applicant submitted a draft sign ordinance with proposed language and findings to support their request (Attachment B). Staff reviewed the Applicant's proposed ordinance language and then refined the language to ensure the ordinance meets the existing conditions and standards of the community. Recommendation: The Planning Commission reviewed this application at their September 4, 2019 meeting. At that time, they recommended approval with amendments by a 5-0 vote. The Planning Commission approved the section 1210.01 and 1230.02 (Attachments C and D) without any additional amendments. However, the Planning Commission recommended amendments to proposed section 1240.04 (Attachments E). The Planning Commission recommended section 1240.04 be modified to only pertain to fast food restaurants with drive-throughs. The Planning Commission added "above grade" to subsection two (2) to ensure the sign height is measured from grade. The Commission also modified subsection five (5), A, to allow the displays to change up to five (5) times per day. Notice and Public Comments Notice was published in the Arden Hills -Shoreview Bulletin on August 21, 2019. Staff has received no questions or comments. Budget Impact• NA Attachments: A.

The Sign Code defines a Dynamic Display as: Dynamic Display. Any characteristics of a sign that appear to have movement or that appear to change, caused by any method other than physically removing and replacing the sign or its components, whether the apparent movement or change is in the display, the sign structure itself, or any other component of the sign. This includes a display that incorporates a technology or method allowing the sign face to change the image without having to physically or mechanically replace the sign face or its components. This also includes, but is not limited to, any rotating, revolving, moving, flashing, blinking, projecting, or animated display and any display that incorporates rotating panels, LED lights manipulated through digital input, "digital ink," or any other method or technology that allows the sign face to present a series of images or displays. The code does not define menu boards. Chapter 12 states the following in § 1200.02 Subd. 1: This Sign Code is intended to establish a comprehensive and balanced system of sign control that accommodates the need for a well-maintained, safe, and attractive community, and the need for effective communications, including business identification. It is the intent of these sign regulations, to promote the health, safety, general welfare, aesthetics, and image of the community by regulating signs that are intended to communicate to the public in all areas of the City. It is not the purpose or intent of this Chapter to regulate the message displayed on any sign. The purpose of this Chapter is to authorize: A. Permanent signs which establish a high standard of aesthetics and are appropriate for the planned character in each sign district as established in Section 1240; B. Signs which are compatible with their surroundings; C. Signs which are designed, constructed, installed and maintained in a manner that does not adversely impact public safety or create a hazard to motorists, pedestrians, or cyclists; D. Signs that are proportioned to the scale of, and are architecturally compatible with, principal structures; E. Permanent signs which give preference to the on -premise owner or occupant• F. Temporary commercial signs and advertising displays which provide an opportunity to advertise while restricting signs that create visual clutter and hazards at public right-of-way intersections, G. Minimize adverse effects on nearby property, and, H. Provide for fair and consistent enforcement of the sign regulations set forth herein under the authority of the City. Subd. 2 Findings. The City finds it is necessary for the promotion and preservation of the public health, safety, welfare, and aesthetics of the community to control the construction, location, size, and maintenance of signs. Further, the City finds: A. Permanent and temporary signs have a direct impact on and relationship to the image and aesthetic of the community; B. The manner of installation, location and maintenance of signs affects the public health, safety, welfare and aesthetics of the community; C. An opportunity for viable identification of community businesses, residences, and institutions must be established; D. The safety of motorists, cyclists, pedestrians and other users of public streets and property is affected by the number, size, location and appearance of signs that create a hazard for drivers, particularly from dynamic display signs; E. Installation of signs suspended from, projecting over, or placed on the tops of buildings, walks or other structures may constitute a hazard during periods of high winds and an obstacle to effective fire fighting and other emergency service; F. Uncontrolled and unlimited signs and sign types, particularly dynamic display signs, adversely impact the image and aesthetic attractiveness of the community and thereby undermine economic value and growth; G. Uncontrolled and unlimited signs, particularly temporary signs which are commonly located within or adjacent to public right-of-way or are located at driveway/street intersections, result in roadside clutter and obstruction of views of oncoming traffic. This creates a hazard to drivers and pedestrians and also adversely impacts a logical flow of information; H. Commercial signs are generally incompatible with residential uses and should be strictly limited in residential zoning districts; and I. The right to express noncommercial opinions in any zoning district must be protected, subject to reasonable restrictions on size, height, location and number. The following text amendment is proposed for Chapter 12 Sign Code and is consistent with the overall intent of the Sign Code and respectfully we request your approval of the proposed text amendment to create a definition for menu board signs in § 1210 DEFINITIONS as follows: MENU BOARD SIGN. A freestanding exterior sign adjacent to the drive-through lane that identifies items for sale at the restaurant and their associated prices or specials. The menu board must comply with §1240.02 of this chapter. Respectfully we request your approval of the proposed text amendment to create § 1240.04 as follows: § 1240.04 MENU BOARD SIGNS All Menu Board Signs for Non -Residential Uses. Drive-thru board signs are allowed for non- residential uses provided the requirements in this section are met. i. Location: All drive-thru board signs shall be located adjacent to the drive-through lane and shall not be located in any required setback. Signs may be located on the building or as a monument -style or pedestal sign. ii. Height: A drive-thru board sign shall not exceed six feet in height. iii. Size: A drive-thru board sign with a menu (or options) board sign shall not exceed twenty-four (24) square feet. iv. Number: One drive-thru board sign with a maximum area of twenty-four (24) square feet and one sign with a maximum area of twelve (12) square feet shall be permitted for each drive-thru board lane. v. A Drive-thru Board sign may be LED and shall comply with the following: 1. The light output of the LED shall not exceed 2 foot-candles; 2. The images, colors, and text may not change more than 3 times per day; 3. All images, colors, and text shall be static with no flashing, scrolling, or animation; and 4. At any time the business or drive-through is closed to the public, any Drive- thru Board sign shall be dimmed and shall remain dimmed or be turned off until the business or drive-through is open to the public. This change is consistent with surrounding cities in Minnesota and it addresses the following criteria from §1200.02 Subd. 1: A. Permanent signs which establish a high standard of aesthetics and are appropriate for the planned character in each sign district as established in Section 1240; B. Signs which are compatible with their surroundings; signs of this type are required for a drive thru restaurant to operate. C. Signs which are designed, constructed, installed and maintained in a manner that does not adversely impact public safety or create a hazard to motorists, pedestrians, or cyclists; D. Signs that are proportioned to the scale of, and are architecturally compatible with, principal structures; new technology is available that allows for the better use of natural resources. Eliminating paper menus and the need for ballasts helps to reduce the carbon footprint. E. Permanent signs which give preference to the on -premise owner or occupant; F. Temporary commercial signs and advertising displays which provide an opportunity to advertise while restricting signs that create visual clutter and hazards at public right-of-way intersections; limiting the size of menu boards specifically will create consistency through -out the city for this type of use. G. Minimize adverse effects on nearby property; and, H. Provide for fair and consistent enforcement of the sign regulations set forth herein under the authority of the City; currently the code is silent on the use of menu boards and this text amendment will allow for concise guidelines that regulate this type of sign. This change also takes into considering the following criteria from §1200.02 Subd. 2: A. Permanent and temporary signs have a direct impact on and relationship to the image and aesthetic of the community; Menu boards are necessary for a fast service restaurant to function. Providing for clear text in the ordinance to address this sign type will allow for consistency. B. The manner of installation, location and maintenance of signs affects the public health, safety, welfare and aesthetics of the community; Menu boards prevent stacking in the drive thru by allowing for patrons and citizens to move thru the drive thru quickly. The clear deliverance of menu options will facilitate in the safe movement of traffic. The proposed text amendment allows for the use of the latest technology. C. An opportunity for viable identification of community businesses, residences, and institutions must be established; The menu boards are necessary for a drive thru restaurant to remain viable and are not intended for viewing beyond the property line. D. The safety of motorists, cyclists, pedestrians and other users of public streets and property is affected by the number, size, location and appearance of signs that create a hazard for drivers, particularly from dynamic display signs; The menu boards are not dynamic display signs. The images are static and have the brightness of a Kindle. The screen can be dimmed and programed to be off when businesses are closed. The overall intent of this menu board is not to distract motorists but rather for viewing of the vehicle that is in the drive thru lane and they are only intended to facilitate a streamlined process of customer ordering for a drive thru establishment. E. Installation of signs suspended from, projecting over, or placed on the tops of buildings, walks or other structures may constitute a hazard during periods of high winds and an obstacle to effective fire -fighting and other emergency service; The menu boards are ground mounted. F. Uncontrolled and unlimited signs and sign types, particularly dynamic display signs, adversely impact the image and aesthetic attractiveness of the community and thereby undermine economic value and growth; The text amendment suggests further limitations that would define menu boards and clearly outline allowances for this type of sign. G. Uncontrolled and unlimited signs, particularly temporary signs which are commonly located within or adjacent to public right-of-way or are located at driveway/street intersections, result in roadside clutter and obstruction of views of oncoming traffic. This creates a hazard to drivers and pedestrians and also adversely impacts a logical flow of information; The text amendment intent is to deliver clear concise guidelines that provide for cohesive allowances for this type of sign as it relates to a drive thru establishment to help reduce traffic in the drive thru lane and facilitate the use of a menu that is visible to motorists. H. Commercial signs are generally incompatible with residential uses and should be strictly limited in residential zoning districts; The text amendment is only for properties where a drive thru use would already be allowed and is not intended for use on residential properties. I. The right to express noncommercial opinions in any zoning district must be protected, subject to reasonable restrictions on size, height, location and number; the text amendment proposes limitations to menu boards that the code does not currently contain. This proposal is consistent with the national average for this type of sign as well as those in surrounding cities in the State of Minnesota. The menu board is intended for viewing menu items and is not intended to draw attention to the property in any way. Attachment C 1210.01 Definitions.

Section 1250 - Special Provisions DATE TO: FROM: lt Attachment F -ARQEN HILLS MEMORANDUM September 4, 2019 Planning Commission PC Agenda Item LA Mike Mrosla, Community Development Manager/City Planner SUBJECT: Planning Case #19-008 Drive -Through Menu Board Sign Code Text Amendment - Public Hearing Required Applicant: Expedite The Diehl Property Location: 1313 County Rd. E Request: Sign Code Text Amendment Requested Action Expedite The Diehl has submitted an application for a sign code text amendment on behalf of McDonalds. The Applicant is requesting a sign code text amendment that would allow for dynamic display menu board signs at drive-through facilities. BacklZround Over the last few years drive through facilities have move away from the traditional changeable copy drive-through menu boards to dynamic displays. Dynamic display signs are becoming the preferred method of internal and exterior menu boards. Dynamic display menu board signs are more cost effective and reduce the amount of waste in the landfills. The digital display is also energy efficient as current LED technology has a far greater lifespan than traditional bulbs and ballasts. The use of digital displays in drive-throughs reduces wait time spent in the drive-throughs by only offering items that are available. Thereby reducing the vehicle stacking. All of the existing drive-through menu boards in the community consist of changeable paper copies and are backlit by bulbs. In the past staff has utilized free standing sign requirements or designated the signs as incidental sign. An incidental sign is any sign that is generally not understandable or readable from property other than where the sign is located, such as from adjacent property or a public street. Upon review the majority of existing drive-through menu board signs were approved as incidental signs and were not evaluated as they were located out of view. The proposed amendment would require staff to review menu boards. An example of the proposed dynamic display drive-through menu board signs can be found at the McDonalds in Circle Pines and is shown on the image on the next page.

Overview of Request: As previously stated the Applicant on behalf of McDonald's is requesting to permit dynamic display menu board signs when located at drive-through facilities. The Applicant request would require amendments to the following sign code sections: • 1210.01 —Definitions —Add a definition for menu board signs. • 1230.02 - Prohibited Signs — Add exception to digital displays to permit digital display menu boards in drive-through facilities. • 1240.04 — New code section regulating menu boards signs. 2. Text amendments: As part of the application the Applicant submitted a draft sign ordinance with proposed language and findings to support their request. Staff has reviewed the Applicants proposed ordinance language and has provide the following language in order to address the request: A. 1210.01 Definitions. The proposed definition defines what qualifies as a menu board sign and where they are located. The intent is to have all menu boards signs to comply with the proposed new code section (1420.02) as discussed below. The proposed definition would read as follows: MENU BOARD SIGN. A freestanding exterior sign adjacent to the drive-through lane at a drive-through facility that identifies items for sale at the facility and their associated prices for customers. The menu board must comply with §1240.02 of this chapter. B. 1230.02 - Prohibited Signs. Section 1320.02 of the sign code prohibits the use of dynamic display signs. This section would need to be amended to exclude dynamic display menu City of Arden Hills Planning Commission Meeting for September 4, 2019 P: IPlanninglPlanning Cases120MPC 19-008 Drive -Through Menu Board Sign Code Text Amendment Page 2 of 5 board signs from other dynamic display signs. The proposed amendment would read as follows: Dynamic Display Signs. Dynamic display signs shall be prohibited, except as provided in section 1240.04 of this code section. C. 1240.04 — Menu Board Signs. The proposed language is intended to codify the location, design and standards for menu board signs. The proposed text amendment would read as follows: 1240.04 MENU BOARD SIGNS All Menu Board Signs for r 9H R ideHf; ,' astfood restaurant kruses. Drive- through menu board sign are allowed for HoH resid w fast food restaurant uses provided the requirements in this section are met. Subd. 1. Location: All drive-through menu board signs shall be single sided and located adjacent to the drive-through lane and shall not be located in any required setback. Signs may be affixed to the building. Subd. 2. Height: A drive-through menu board sign shall not exceed eight (8) feet in height. Subd. 3. Size: A drive-through menu board sign shall not exceed forty (40) square feet. Subd. 4. Number: Up to two drive-through menu board signs are permitted per drive-through lane. The total surface area of the two signs shall not exceed forty (40) square feet. Subd. S. A Drive-through menu board signs shall comply with the following standards: A. The images, colors, and text may not change more than two (2) time per day; B. All images, colors, and text shall be static with no flashing, scrolling, or animation; and C. At any time the business or drive-through is closed to the public, any Drive- through menu board sign shall be turned off until the business or drive-through is open to the public. D. Signs with speakers or intercoms shall be designed and located in a manner to direct noise away from adjoining properties. Speaker noise shall not be audible to adjacent residential properties. E. The sign(s) shall not be located as to impair the vision of the driver of a vehicle traveling either into, out of, or through the drive-through lane. City of Arden Hills Planning Commission Meeting for September 4, 2019 P: IPlanninglPlanning Cases120MPC 19-008 Drive -Through Menu Board Sign Code Text Amendment Page 3 of 5 The proposed language above removes the ability to have two-sided menu board signs and describes where menu board signs are permitted to be located. The proposed height standard is constant with existing ordinance standards for auxiliary signs in Sign District 4. When determining the appropriate surface area staff reviewed the Applicants proposed language, currently approved sign permits. It was determined that the Applicant proposed sign surface area of 36 square feet would create some of the existing drive-through signs to be non -conforming. However, all of the existing drive-through menu board signs in the community are only slightly larger and are under 40 square feet. Based on the findings staff is proposing utilizing 40 square feet as the maximum sign surface area. This is also constant with other municipalities within the metro. The community has a number of existing drive-throughs locations with more than one (1) menu board or pre -menu board sign. The intent of limiting the number of drive-through menu board signs to two (2) is to ensure the existing signs are in conformance and allows a user to have two (2) menu board signs as long as they don't exceed the maximum permitted size of a single menu board. The intent of subdivision five (5) is to provide standards for traditional drive-through menu board signs and digital displays. The Applicant submitted ordinance language requested the ability to allow menu boards signs to change up to three (3) times per day. Upon review the existing drive-through establishments within the community currently offer a sperate breakfast menu from their traditional menu and that is the rational behind allowing signs to change twice per day. The proposed ordinance language requires all proposed signs remain static in order to meet the intent of the existing paper menus. After reviewing the Applicants draft ordinance language in subsection C staff determined that all drive-through menu board signs shall be turned off when the drive-through facility is closed. Turning off the screens would be similar practice as turning off the lights on existing menu boards. Subsection E is intended to limit the noise impacts on adjacent properties and subsection E are intended to address provide motor vehicles with clear vision in drive-through lanes. All of the proposed amendments are consistent with Section 1200.02, Subsection 2 of the Sign Code. The Applicant submitted their finding and is provided and can be found in exhibit B. The proposed amendments have been provided in Attachment A. The City Attorney has reviewed and approved of the proposed changes. Proposed Motion Language 1.

CA 11, Present were: Chair Nick Gehrig, Commissioners Steven Jones, James Lambeth, Jonathan Wicklund, and Clayton Zimmerman. Absent: Commissioners Subbaya Subramnian and Paul Vijums. Also present were: Community Development Manager/City Planner Mike Mrosla and Councilmember Fran Holmes. APPROVAL OF AGENDA — SEPTEMBER 4, 2019 Chair Gehrig stated the agenda will stand as published. APPROVAL OF MINUTES July 10, 2019 — Planning Commission Regular Meeting Commissioner Lambeth moved, seconded by Commissioner Zimmerman, to approve the July 10, 2019, Planning Commission Regular Meeting as presented. The motion carried unanimously (5-0). PLANNING CASES A. Planning Case 19-008; Drive -Through Menu Board Sign Code Text Amendment — Public Hearing Community Development Manager/City Planner Mrosla stated over the last few years drive- through facilities have moved away from the traditional changeable copy drive-through menu boards to dynamic display signs. Dynamic display signs are becoming the preferred method of ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION — September 4, 2019 2 internal and exterior menu boards for restaurants and other establishments. Dynamic display menu board signs are more cost-effective than traditional menu boards and reduce the amount of waste in landfills. The digital display is also more energy efficient as current LED technology has a far greater lifespan than traditional bulbs and ballasts. The use of digital displays in drive- throughs reduces wait time spent in the drive-throughs by only offering items that are available, thereby reducing vehicle stacking. Community Development Manager/City Planner Mrosla reported all of the existing drive- through menu boards in the community consist of changeable paper copies and are backlit by bulbs. In the past, staff has utilized free standing sign requirements or designated the signs as incidental sign. An incidental sign is any sign that is generally not understandable or readable from property other than where the sign is located, such as from adjacent property or a public street. Upon review, the majority of existing drive-through menu board signs were approved as incidental signs and were not evaluated as they were located out of view. The proposed amendment would require staff to review menu boards. Community Development Manager/City Planner Mrosla reviewed the proposed text amendment with the Commission in further detail and reviewed the options available to the Planning Commission on this matter: 1. Recommend Approval with Conditions 2. Recommend Approval as Submitted. 3. Recommend Denial 4. Table Chair Gehrig opened the public hearing at 6:44 p.m. Chair Gehrig invited anyone for or against the application to come forward and make comment. Tracy Diehl, McDonald's representative, stated she was an expert in the sign industry. She explained other businesses were beginning to use dynamic display menu signs and commented on how a text amendment would benefit the City of Arden Hills. She reported it was becoming increasingly difficult and expensive for fast food restaurants to use the old types of signs. She discussed the expense of keeping these signs operational and difficulty businesses had finding replacement parts. She thanked the Commission for their consideration on the proposed text amendment. There being no additional comment Chair Gehrig closed the public hearing at 6:48 p.m. Commissioner Jones questioned what kind of menu signs were allowed in the past. Community Development Manager/City Planner Mrosla stated menu signs were classified as auxiliary signs and/or an incidental sign. He commented many signs were viewed to be internal to the site and did not require a permit. ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION — September 4, 2019 3 Commissioner Jones reported this technology would continue to change and evolve over time and would revolutionize storefronts in the future. He indicated he was pleased the City was reviewing this chapter of City Code. He stated he supported the proposed change. Commissioner Lambeth asked if banks, post offices and pharmacies should be considered within this amendment because they all had drive through facilities. Ms. Diehl commented on the discussions she had with staff to amend City Code regarding restaurant menu signs. She indicated she did not see drive through menu boards being used at post offices, pharmacies or banks at this time. She explained this may change over time. She recommended the proposed language change be made to address dynamic display menu boards. Commissioner Lambeth questioned if this was truly an environmentally friendly option. Ms. Diehl stated this change was an environmentally friendly option because it allows restaurants to change menus without generating a great deal of paper waste. In addition, she reported the ballasts and bulbs in the dynamic display signs were LED and not fluorescent. Commissioner Lambeth inquired what was the maximum height that would be allowed for the dynamic display signs. 1%'�� Community Development Manager/City Planner Mrosla reported the maximum height would be eight feet. Commissioner Lambeth commented he believed it was easier to read a menu sign that was more horizontal in nature than vertical. He recommended fast food restaurants consider orienting their signs in this manner. He questioned if the speaker systems would be changed out with the new dynamic display signs. Ms. Diehl indicated the existing speaker systems at McDonald's would remain in place. Commissioner Wicklund asked why the text on the dynamic display menus would be changing three times a day. ., B Ms. Diehl explained the menus would change for breakfast, lunch and dinner. She commented on the importance of being able to remove items from the menu that were sold out. Commissioner Wicklund questioned if there were any fast food restaurants that were creating noise issues in the community. Community Development Manager/City Planner Mrosla reported he was not aware of any concerns at this time. Commissioner Zimmerman noted several grammatical changes that should be made corrected within the text amendment. ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION — September 4, 2019 4 Chair Gehrig recommended the menu boards be allowed to be changed three times a day. He stated he supported clarifying the sign height to ensure the language reads the sign shall be no taller than eight feet above grade. Commissioner Jones commented three changes to the menu per day may be conservative. Councilmember Holmes asked if this amendment was for all restaurants in the City. Community Development Manager/City Planner Mrosla reported the proposed text amendment was establishments with drive through facilities. Further discussion ensued regarding the proposed text amendment for drive through facilities. Chair Gehrig reported the Commission could amend the proposed language to state it was for drive through restaurants. Community Development Manager/City Planner Mrosla reported the reference to drive through facility could be changed to drive through restaurant. Commissioner Wicklund moved and Commissioner Zimmerman seconded a motion to recommend approval of Planning Case 19-008 for proposed amendments to Chapter 12 — Shm Code, adding a definition for Menu Board Signs, and excluding dynamic displays menu boards from prohibit signs, and adding section 1240.04 Menu Board Signs requirements, as presented in the September 4, 2019 Report to the Planning Commission with the following modifications: a drive through menu sign height shall not exceed eight feet in height; menu text shall not change more than five times per day; and that restaurant fast food drive through references be made where the code previously read drive through facility. The motion carried unanimously (5-0). B. Planning Case 19-009; Amendment to Zoning Ordinance Regarding Clearcutting and Tree Preservation — Public Hearing Community Development Manager/City Planner Mrosla stated in the last few years, there have been cases where a property owner has clear-cut a parcel of land prior to submitting any development applications. Section 1325.055 of the City Code addresses tree preservation requirements, but the requirements are currently triggered by a development application. The code does not address the removal of vegetation prior to any application. Staff reviewed the proposed changes to City Code and explained the proposed language is intended to codify the need for a tree preservation plan prior to clearcutting a site. Clearcutting is part of a larger infill development discussion. This language may not address all the issues, but it does provide some protection for clear -cutting without a development application. Community Development Manager/City Planner Mrosla reviewed the options available to the Planning Commission on this matter: 1. Recommend Approval with Conditions 2. Recommend Approval as Submitted. ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION — September 4, 2019 5 3. Recommend Denial 4. Table Chair Gehrig opened the public hearing at 7:31 p.m. Chair Gehrig invited anyone for or against the application to come forward and make comment. There being no comment Chair Gehrig closed the public hearing at 7:31 p.m. Commissioner Jones asked if the City had someone on staff that was an arborist or forester. Community Development Manager/City Planner Mrosla reported a member of the Public Works Department had a forestry background. Commissioner Lambeth asked if the amendment had a tree preservation provision for developers. Community Development Manager/City Planner Mrosla stated a provision was in place for developers requesting a preliminary plat. Commissioner Lambeth recommended all tree preservation requirements be reviewed by staff with developers through the permit application process. Community Development Manager/City Planner Mrosla indicated this was currently being done by staff. h Commissioner Wicklund questioned what cases the City has had that brought this issue to light. Community Development Manager/City Planner Mrosla reported he was unfamiliar with the cases and deferred this question to Councilmember Holmes. Councilmember Holmes stated this was an evolution and direction from the Council to staff based on cases where residents have clear cut their lots, especially on the lake. Community Development Manager/City Planner Mrosla explained staff was given direction from the Council to see how other cities addressed clearcutting and how they worked to recoup lost trees. He reported this information would be brought to the Commission at a future meeting. Commissioner Wicklund stated it would be beneficial for the Commission to have practical examples of clear cutting issues that occurred in the City. He explained he was trying to understand the need for this code amendment and who it would impact. In addition, he wanted to better understand if this code amendment was for developers or for residents. He indicated he would also like to know more about what the penalty would be for breaking this portion of City Code. Community Development Manager/City Planner Mrosla commented this language amendment was mostly development related. He agreed there should be an opportunity to impose ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION — September 4, 2019 6 fines or require tree replacement. He indicated this would be difficult to enforce for residents that were simply unaware of City Code tree preservation requirements. Commissioner Zimmerman asked if an individual homeowner could remove a tree without a permit. Community Development Manager/City Planner Mrosla explained a permit would not be required currently, but noted if a certain number of caliper inches (10%) were removed, then a permit and a replacement plan would be required. Commissioner Lambeth stated he did not want to see the City over reaching with this Code amendment. He questioned who would be certifying the landscaping plans. Community Development Manager/City Planner Mrosla commented generally a landscape architect would have this certification power. Commissioner Jones discussed the recent Land O'Lakes expansion and described the trees that were lost and replanted. He asked if tree trimmers were required to receive a permit from the City. Community Development Manager/City Planner Mrosla explained a license with the City was required but a permit from the property owner was not required. Chair Gehrig stated he believed the proposed language made sense for developers. He suggested this portion of City Code requirements be separated for developers and residential homeowners. Commissioner Wicklund questioned if this Code amendment was an urgent matter. Community Development Manager/City Planner Mrosla indicated the Commission could table action on this item in order to allow staff to take a deeper look at the language and would bring this item back to the Commission at a future meeting. Commissioner Wicklund supported this recommendation. Commissioner Lambeth moved and Commissioner Jones seconded a motion table action on this item directing staff to further investigate the language within this City Code text amendment and to report back at a future Planning Commission meeting. The motion carried unanimously (5-0). UNFINISHED AND NEW BUSINESS None. REPORTS ARDEN HILLS PLANNING COMMISSION — September 4, 2019 7 A.

E Request: Sign Code Text Amendment Budgeted Amount: Actual Amount: Funding Source: N/A N/A N/A For Council Consideration Hold the required public hearing for the proposed Sign Code Text Amendment. The City Council will be asked to make a formal decision regarding the application under Agenda Item IOC. Background Expedite The Diehl has submitted an application for a sign code text amendment on behalf of McDonalds. The Applicant is requesting a sign code text amendment that would allow for dynamic display menu board signs at drive-through facilities. Over the last few years drive through facilities have move away from the traditional changeable copy drive-through menu boards to dynamic displays. Dynamic display signs are becoming the preferred method of internal and exterior menu boards. All of the existing drive-through menu boards in the community consist of changeable paper copies and are backlit by traditional bulbs. In the past staff has utilized free standing sign requirements or designated the signs as incidental sign. An incidental sign is any sign that is generally not understandable or readable from property other than where the sign is located, such as from adjacent property or a public street. Upon review the majority of existing drive-through menu board signs were approved as incidental signs and were not evaluated as they were located out of view. The proposed amendment would require staff to review menu boards. City of Arden Hills City Council Meeting for September 23, 2019 Page 1 of 3 Requested Action As previously stated the Applicant on behalf of McDonald's is requesting to permit dynamic display menu board signs when located at drive-through facilities. The Applicant request would require amendments to the following sign code sections: • 1210.01 —Definitions —Add a definition for menu board signs. • 1230.02 - Prohibited Signs — Add exception to digital displays to permit digital display menu boards in drive-through facilities. • 1240.04 — New code section regulating menu boards signs.

Recommend Approval: Motion to recommend approval of Planning Case 19-008 for proposed amendments to Chapter 12 — Sign Code, adding a definition for Menu Board Signs, and excluding dynamic displays menu boards from prohibit signs, and adding section 1240.04 Menu Board Signs requirements, as presented in the September 4, 2019 Report to the Planning Commission. 2. Recommend Approval with Amendments: Motion to recommend approval of Planning Case 19-008 for proposed amendments to Chapter 12 — Sign Code, adding a definition for Menu Board Signs, and excluding dynamic displays menu boards from prohibit signs, and adding section 1240.04 Menu Board Signs requirements, as presented in the September 4, 2019 Report to the Planning Commission. 3.

Ordinance amending Chapter 12, Sign Code Clean C. Ordinance Summary NO. 2019-007 City of Arden Hills City Council Meeting for September 23, 2019 Page 3 of 3 Attachment A Chapter 12 - Sign Code Section 1200 - Purpose and Intent 1200.01 Recitals. This Chapter shall be known, cited and referred to as the Arden Hills Sign Code, except as referred to herein, where it shall be known as "this Chapter." 1200.02 Purpose and Findings. The purpose and findings of this Chapter are as follows: Subd. 1 Purpose. This Sign Code is intended to establish a comprehensive and balanced system of sign control that accommodates the need for a well-maintained, safe, and attractive community, and the need for effective communications, including business identification. It is the intent of these sign regulations, to promote the health, safety, general welfare, aesthetics, and image of the community by regulating signs that are intended to communicate to the public in all areas of the City. It is not the purpose or intent of this Chapter to regulate the message displayed on any sign. The purpose of this Chapter is to authorize: A. Permanent signs which establish a high standard of aesthetics and are appropriate for the planned character in each sign district as established in Section 1240.- B. 240;B. Signs which are compatible with their surroundings; C. Signs which are designed, constructed, installed and maintained in a manner that does not adversely impact public safety or create a hazard to motorists, pedestrians, or cyclists; D. Signs that are proportioned to the scale of, and are architecturally compatible with, principal structures; E. Permanent signs which give preference to the on -premise owner or occupant; F. Temporary commercial signs and advertising displays which provide an opportunity to advertise while restricting signs that create visual clutter and hazards at public right-of-way intersections; G. Minimize adverse effects on nearby property; and, H. Provide for fair and consistent enforcement of the sign regulations set forth herein under the authority of the City. Subd. 2 Findings. The City finds it is necessary for the promotion and preservation of the public health, safety, welfare, and aesthetics of the community to control the construction, location, size, and maintenance of signs. Further, the City finds: A. Permanent and temporary signs have a direct impact on and relationship to the image and aesthetic of the community; B. The manner of installation, location and maintenance of signs affects the public health, safety, welfare and aesthetics of the community; C. An opportunity for viable identification of community businesses, residences, and institutions must be established; D. The safety of motorists, cyclists, pedestrians and other users of public streets and property is affected by the number, size, location and appearance of signs that create a hazard for drivers, particularly from dynamic display signs; E. Installation of signs suspended from, projecting over, or placed on the tops of buildings, walks or other structures may constitute a hazard during periods of high winds and an obstacle to effective fire -fighting and other emergency service; F. Uncontrolled and unlimited signs and sign types, particularly dynamic display signs, adversely impact the image and aesthetic attractiveness of the community and thereby undermine economic value and growth; G. Uncontrolled and unlimited signs, particularly temporary signs which are commonly located within or adjacent to public right-of-way or are located at driveway/street intersections, result in roadside clutter and obstruction of views of oncoming traffic. This creates a hazard to drivers and pedestrians and also adversely impacts a logical flow of information; H. Commercial signs are generally incompatible with residential uses and should be strictly limited in residential zoning districts; and I. The right to express noncommercial opinions in any zoning district must be protected, subject to reasonable restrictions on size, height, location and number. 1200.03 Scope of Regulations. The sign regulations set forth in this Chapter shall apply to all structures and all land uses. This Chapter describes the signage standards for the nine sign districts that overlay the zoning districts of the City. Specific additional regulations are established for signs which are unique in purpose and not easily addressed by district regulations. No person, property owner, lessee shall place, erect, alter, modify, enhance or change in any way a sign that does not conform to the requirements of this Chapter and all other applicable regulations. 1200.04 Severability. If any section, subsection, sentence, clause, phase, or other part of this Chapter is for any reason held to be invalid, such invalidity shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining portion of this Chapter. The City Council hereby declares that it would have adopted the Chapter in each section, subsection, sentence, or phase thereof, irrespective of the fact that any one or more sections, subj ections, sentences, clauses, or phrases are declared invalid.

This Chapter shall be known, cited and referred to as the Arden Hills Sign Code, except as referred to herein, where it shall be known as "this Chapter." 1200.02 Purpose and Findings. The purpose and findings of this Chapter are as follows: Subd. 1 Purpose. This Sign Code is intended to establish a comprehensive and balanced system of sign control that accommodates the need for a well-maintained, safe, and attractive community, and the need for effective communications, including business identification. It is the intent of these sign regulations, to promote the health, safety, general welfare, aesthetics, and image of the community by regulating signs that are intended to communicate to the public in all areas of the City. It is not the purpose or intent of this Chapter to regulate the message displayed on any sign. The purpose of this Chapter is to authorize: A. Permanent signs which establish a high standard of aesthetics and are appropriate for the planned character in each sign district as established in Section 1240.- B. 240;B. Signs which are compatible with their surroundings; C. Signs which are designed, constructed, installed and maintained in a manner that does not adversely impact public safety or create a hazard to motorists, pedestrians, or cyclists; D. Signs that are proportioned to the scale of, and are architecturally compatible with, principal structures; E. Permanent signs which give preference to the on -premise owner or occupant; F. Temporary commercial signs and advertising displays which provide an opportunity to advertise while restricting signs that create visual clutter and hazards at public right-of-way intersections; G. Minimize adverse effects on nearby property; and, H. Provide for fair and consistent enforcement of the sign regulations set forth herein under the authority of the City. Subd. 2 Findings. The City finds it is necessary for the promotion and preservation of the public health, safety, welfare, and aesthetics of the community to control the construction, location, size, and maintenance of signs. Further, the City finds: A. Permanent and temporary signs have a direct impact on and relationship to the image and aesthetic of the community; B. The manner of installation, location and maintenance of signs affects the public health, safety, welfare and aesthetics of the community; C. An opportunity for viable identification of community businesses, residences, and institutions must be established; D. The safety of motorists, cyclists, pedestrians and other users of public streets and property is affected by the number, size, location and appearance of signs that create a hazard for drivers, particularly from dynamic display signs; E. Installation of signs suspended from, projecting over, or placed on the tops of buildings, walks or other structures may constitute a hazard during periods of high winds and an obstacle to effective fire -fighting and other emergency service; F. Uncontrolled and unlimited signs and sign types, particularly dynamic display signs, adversely impact the image and aesthetic attractiveness of the community and thereby undermine economic value and growth; G. Uncontrolled and unlimited signs, particularly temporary signs which are commonly located within or adjacent to public right-of-way or are located at driveway/street intersections, result in roadside clutter and obstruction of views of oncoming traffic. This creates a hazard to drivers and pedestrians and also adversely impacts a logical flow of information; H. Commercial signs are generally incompatible with residential uses and should be strictly limited in residential zoning districts; and I. The right to express noncommercial opinions in any zoning district must be protected, subject to reasonable restrictions on size, height, location and number. 1200.03 Scope of Regulations. The sign regulations set forth in this Chapter shall apply to all structures and all land uses. This Chapter describes the signage standards for the nine sign districts that overlay the zoning districts of the City. Specific additional regulations are established for signs which are unique in purpose and not easily addressed by district regulations. No person, property owner, lessee shall place, erect, alter, modify, enhance or change in any way a sign that does not conform to the requirements of this Chapter and all other applicable regulations. 1200.04 Severability. If any section, subsection, sentence, clause, phase, or other part of this Chapter is for any reason held to be invalid, such invalidity shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining portion of this Chapter. The City Council hereby declares that it would have adopted the Chapter in each section, subsection, sentence, or phase thereof, irrespective of the fact that any one or more sections, subj ections, sentences, clauses, or phrases are declared invalid.

A budget workshop was held with the Council on August 19, 2019. Information provided at that workshop is attached. Staff was not directed to make any changes to the proposed 2020 General Fund Budget at this time. There will be another budget workshop in either October or November, prior to the final levy and budget adoption meeting in December.

Background Annually, City staff prepares and submits a preliminary budget to the City Council for review and feedback. Attached to this memo is the City's preliminary General Fund budget for the 2020 fiscal year. Each department provided their respective forecasts for this budget. The proposed 2020 budget is $5,031,420, an increase of $40,030 or 0.8%. For the purpose of this discussion, there is a 5% ($196,920) tax levy increase reflected in the budget. As presented, the General Fund Budget is underfunded by $159,700, which is less than the budget shortfall projected in the 2019 budget of $186,970. This practice is not sustainable in the long term. A tax levy increase of 9.05% would be needed to balance the budget in 2020. According to information provided by Ramsey County, the median home value in Arden Hills will increase from $346,900 for 2019 taxes to $372,400 for 2020 taxes, an increase of 7.4%, which is less than the countywide average of 8.3%. The annual impact of different levels of the City levy increase to a median valued home is as follows: CHANGE CHANGE 2018 2019 2018 2019 CHANGE CHANGE 0% $0 $346,900 $372,400 $871 $878 $7 0.8% 2% $78,770 $898 $26 3.0% 3% $118,150 $907 $36 4.1% 4% $157,540 $917 $46 5.2% 5% $196,920 $926 $55 6.3% 9.05% $356,620 $965 $94 10.8% Fiscal disparities for the City increased by 7.2% while the local taxable value increased by 6.6%, which shows a slight shift in the tax burden to residential properties. What this means is that the $7 net change in the first line of the preceding table is made up of the following: Change due to decrease in fiscal disparities ($5) Change due to increase in taxable values $12 Net Change $7 The 2020 preliminary budget is currently being prepared assuming a 3.0% wage adjustment for all staff. There is also a 3% increase assumed for health, a 3.5% increase for dental and a 5% increase for life insurance premiums. No new positions are included in the budget but there were changes to some of the wage allocations. 2020 budget information was received from Ramsey County and Lake Johanna Fire Department for public safety. The police contract is expected to rise by 7.7%, or $95,870 for 2020. This is due to the following: addition of another investigator ($18,000), investigator squad ($5,700), increase in the County garage rate ($2,800), body worn camera equipment ($16,000), additional personnel for body worn camera program ($8,180), wifi and office space ($4,500) and COLA and PERA rate increases. Attachment C is a memo from the Sheriff's office summarizing the major changes and cost increases included in their 2020 budget. The fire costs are expected to rise by 8.2%, or $47,310 for 2020. This increase is partially due to an increase in evening/weekend shifts ($7,000) in preparation for staffing a third station; an increase in fire run compensation ($1,900) based on recent trends; and an increase in training costs ($3,400). The 5% tax levy increase being proposed ($196,920) is 1.37% m re than the increase needed to cover police and fire services ($143,180). A summary of the major changes is as follows: Description Reduce use of fund balance Decrease in projected revenues Decrease in TCAAP budget Increase in RannCo Sheriff Decrease in RannCo Dispatch Increase in UFD Personnel expenses Net increases in other GF budget areas Effect on Le Reduce street maintenace (transfer to PIR Fund) 27,270 83,370 ( 83,170) 95,870 (22, 920) 47,310 28,600 20,590 (50, 000) 146,920 Discussion Staff is respectfully requesting the City Council to review the preliminary budget and provide feedback for future budget meetings.

Within the 2020 Contract Communities budget, costs can be attributed to (1) Ramsey County changes and (2) investments made in the cities and township of the seven Contract Communities. Ramsey County Changes When Ramsey County elected offices and departments prepare a budget, the Finance Department provides a series of instructions and informs the amounts to budget for personnel costs. These are at the direction of the County Board, County Manager, or Finance Department as well as federal and state guidelines. For 2020, these included: global merit and cost of living adjustments (3.5%), Social Security, Federal Insurance Contributions Act (FICA), deferred compensation ($420 per year), retirement contributions (7.5% for coordinated and 17.7% for police and fire), health and dental insurance (16.5%), life insurance, long-term disability, and health care savings plan. In addition, the county adds a payroll surcharge for severance pay and to fund other post -employment benefits (OPEB) liability (5%). The County Board also approved a three year labor agreement with the Deputy Sheriffs (Law Enforcement Labor Services Local 322) in 2019 for a period from 2018 through 2020. The agreement included a ten cent base pay increase plus a 2% increase effective each January and a 1 % increase effective each July. These costs are also included in Contract Communities budget. In addition, the county also requires elected offices and departments to budget and pay for internal services. These include: Property management and rent at the Patrol Station, which comprises building maintenance and utilities. Contract Communities pays a percentage (64.58%) of this through administrative overhead. • Workers compensation premiums estimate. This is determined by the county and arrived at by a 50/50 formula using payroll data adjusted for risk factor plus five year incurred loss history.

The following tables summarizes the county's internal service charges (estimates): Ramsey County Internal Service Charges Change Item 2019 Budget 2020 Budget Dollar Percent Property $128,424.94 $141,760.42 + $13,335.48 o + 10.38/o management Workers compensation $122,975.60 $124,998.53 +$2,022.93 + 1.65% County garage $67.50 $87.88 +$20.38 +30.19% (hourly rate) Contract Communities Investments In 2019, body -worn and in -car cameras will be implemented across the Sheriff's Office, including the Contract Communities. The estimated costs for implementation in 2019 is up to $1,387,176. Of that, approximately $306,000 is estimated for personnel and $1,081,176 is estimated for equipment and services (i.e., cameras, chargers, storage, etc.). All equipment and related services are available for purchase under state master contract. The Contract Communities has already agreed to contribute $100,164 in 2019. The staffing needs of the body-worn/in-car camera program include four (4) full-time equivalent (FTE) employees: a 1.0 FTE Deputy Sheriff Commander to serve as project manager to coordinate mandated auditing and ensure proper training and adherence to policies and procedures; a 1.0 FTE Information Services Local Area Network Support Specialist 2 to maintain body cameras/squad cameras, respond to software/hardware issues, and act as a liaison with the Information Services Department and vendor; and 2.0 FTE Investigative Assistants to analyze video evidence from body -worn and in -car cameras for response to data requests, identify and redact protected data from videos, serve as a liaison to other law enforcement agencies, and maintain video data. The ongoing personnel, equipment, and support is reflected in the Contract Communities 2020 budget. The Contract Communities will be responsible for a 12.87% or $61,600 of the personnel costs incurred through administrative overhead. The costs for equipment and ongoing services are based on the number of personnel and squads assigned to the Contract Communities for a budget estimate of $119,380. In total, the estimated costs for body -worn and in -car cameras is $180,980 in 2020. An additional Investigator (Deputy Sheriff) is added to the complement in the Contract Communities in 2020. The total number of cases investigated in 2018 for the Contract Communities has more than doubled in the last five years. Over the same time, there has been an increase in the number of sexual assaults reported as well as increases in cases generated from the Minnesota Adult Abuse Reporting Center (started in 2015). Additionally, there has been an increase in fraud reports, especially scams that prey on the vulnerable and elderly. Cases have also become more complex, often involving technology An Elected Office of 'RAMSEY COUNTY Ramsey County Sheriff's Office Bob Fletcher, Sheriff Memorandum Page 3 (including analysis of mobile devices and computers) and collaboration with multiple agencies (including intelligence sharing and de -confliction). As such, the Sheriff's Office conducted a comparative analysis of similar communities and law enforcement agencies. The following table displays the findings of the comparative analysis: Findings of Comparative Analysis (2018) Agency Population Cases FTEs Caseload Ratio Anoka County Sheriff's Office 82,522 1,537 17* 90.41 1 : 4,854 Chisago County Sheriff's Office 56,000 333 7 47.57 1 : 8,000 Dakota County Sheriff's Office 20,000 611 6 101.83 1 : 3,333 Ramsey County Sheriff's Office 80,842 1,916 6 319.33 1 :13,473 Washington County Sheriff's Office 70,000 1,700 8 212.50 1 : 8,750 Wright County Sheriff's Office 134,000 963 9 107 1 :14,889 "Anoka County Sheriff's Office investigates all felony level cases throughout the county. The Major Crimes Detectives Unit has 17 Major Crimes Detectives, 15 of which are assigned to general investigations. Cases represent the number of cases investigated in 2018. FTEs represent the number of full-time equivalent employees assigned as investigators. Caseload represent the average number of cases assigned each investigator. Ratio represent the number of investigators to the number of citizens. The comparative analysis indicated the following: • The Contract Communities had the highest number of cases investigated in 2018. • In terms of population served, the Contract Communities are the third largest. • The average caseload of a Contract Communities investigator is 319.33 cases, which is the largest among the communities reviewed. • The ratio of investigators per citizens highlights the service ability to the citizens of the Contract Communities. Summary The Contract Communities budget has been prepared consistent with instructions provided by the county for personnel costs. The investments in body -worn and in -car squad cameras improve public safety, reinforce transparency, and promote accountability. More importantly, cameras help to provide an objective view of interactions between the office and public. The addition of an investigator addresses understaffing, provides for more manageable caseloads, and situates the Contract Communities in closer alignment with similarly communities providing thorough investigations and justice to the victims of crime.
