Request a proposal from TKDA to continue the Arden Oaks Street Improvements project
into engineering design and construction administration.
Background/Discussion
On April 26, 2021 Council approved Resolution 2021-023 Ordering of the Feasibility Report for
the Arden Oaks Street Improvements project and the Professional Services Agreement with
TKDA.
TKDA has prepared a draft feasibility study (Attachment A) for the Arden Oaks Street
Improvements project for consideration by the City Council to be accepted on July 26, 2021.
Staff is requesting an opportunity with Council to review the content of the draft feasibility study
and allow for any feedback.
The improvements consist of pavement rehabilitation, concrete curb and gutter repair, casting
replacement and adjustment, and appurtenant work on the following areas:
Arden Oaks Drive between (between Snelling Avenue North and County Road E West)
Arden Oaks Court (from Arden Oaks Drive to the end of the Cul-de-sac)
Page 2 of 3
TKDA has done excellent work through the feasibility process. They understand the project site
well and have connected with the neighborhood through collecting information from the
questionnaires distributed to the residents and speaking with them while on site. On past projects
staff has sent Request for Proposals (RFP) to consultants to prepare plans and specs and
construction administration. Staff is requesting Council consider asking TKDA for a proposal,
this will eliminate any errors from transfer of information to another consultant and the
neighborhood has already become familiar with TKDA.

Feasibility Report
Arden Oaks Neighborhood Improvements
Prepared for City of Arden Hills, Minnesota
Introduction:
On April 26, 2021, the Arden Hills Council adopted Resolution 2021-23 which ordered the
preparation of a Feasibility Report for improvements to the project areas listed below:
Arden Oaks Neighborhood:
Bituminous paving, storm water improvements, concrete curb and gutter repair, and appurtenant
work on the following areas:
x Arden Oaks Drive (Snelling Avenue North and County Road E West)
x Arden Oaks Court (from Arden Oaks Drive to the end of the Cul-de-sac)
Located within Section 27-SW, Township 30N, Range 23W, as described on 2 plats: Arden Oaks
and Shady Oaks Addition.
This report evaluates the feasibility of two options for Arden Oaks neighborhood street
improvements in the described project areas. All existing infrastructure elements were evaluated,
improvements recommended, cost estimates of the proposed improvements prepared and funding
strategies developed in this report. Option one will be comprised of a full depth street reclamation
and option two will be comprised of a 2” bituminous mill and overlay.
Background:
The City of Arden Hills currently utilizes pavement rating data, pavement forensic data, soil boring
information, and the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) to prioritize the infrastructure improvement
needs within the city. As reported in the Arden Hills pavement forensic report and the CIP both
Arden Oaks Drive and Arden Oaks Court are recommended for pavement rehabilitation.
The Arden Oaks neighborhood is a single family residential neighborhood and is proposed for
rehabilitation from Snelling Avenue South to County Road E West. Improvements would include
pavement rehabilitation, curb repair, and storm water infrastructure improvements as needed. The
forensic pavement report showing the Arden Oaks Neighborhood rehabilitation plan can be found
on Exhibit 1 in the appendix.

Arden Oaks Existing Conditions:
Streets and Lane Configurations:
The majority of properties located within
the Arden Oaks residential neighborhood
were platted in the mid to late 1980s.
According to the City’s CIP and city
records, the last major maintenance task
was a mill and overlay in 1996. Since then
it appears the street section has been
treated with chip seals, crack seals, hot
patching and partial overlays several
times in the years since. The most recent
maintenance appears to be a street
overlay in select areas coating the outside
edges of the roadway with a 1” to 1.5” lift
of bituminous. According to the CIP, the
Arden Oaks neighborhood is schedule for
major maintenance (mill and overlay or
reclamation) in 2022.
Many factors have accounted for roadway deterioration including the following:
x Time and weather (freeze/thaw cycle)
x Underlying soil conditions
x Traffic volumes
x Roadway pavement section
x Heavy vehicle loading
x Surface and subsurface water drainage
The City completes pavement ratings for
local streets and have noted that the
ratings for the streets in this
neighborhood were in the low 30s out of
a 100-scale rating. During the field
inspection of the neighborhood, many
roadway deficiencies were noted
including large frost cracks (through both
curb and street sections), fatigue cracks,
pot holes, and minor drainage issues. It
was also noted that many of defects had
been patched or filled recently.
Additionally it has been observed at
certain times of the year ground water and
water discharged from sump pumps
seeping from behind the curb and into the street section. Although the geotechnical report did not
explicitly note high ground water in the area there are signs of it from field observations.
The geotechnical report completed by WSB found that the pavement section in the Arden Oaks
neighborhood ranged from 5 to 6-1/2 inches in depth. Additionally, suitable aggregate base material
was found over the entire area or the Arden Oaks neighborhood ranging in depth from 5 to 13
inches. Underlain soils were typically sandy lean clay with gravel. The geotechnical report is located

in the appendix in Exhibit 7; additionally the typical cross sections for the Arden Oaks neighborhood
can be found under Exhibit 3.
Curb and Gutter: The current condition of the curb and gutter
along Arden Oaks is mostly acceptable with exception to the
few areas with settling, large cracks, and drainage issues. In
general, the curb on Arden Oaks Drive appears to be
functional in a drainage perspective and aesthetically in
good condition. A large majority of the curb that was in
functional condition had vegetation growing in the expansion
joints. The vegetation seemed to be trapping sediment and
other debris causing water to spill out of the gutter onto the
roadway.
On the south end of Arden Oaks Drive there appears to be
an existing concrete apron that has been overlaid with
bituminous blocking water from traveling from west to east.
The buildup of material from various maintenance
operations has caused localized drainage issues.
Utilities: The existing sanitary sewer in the neighborhood is 8” PVC sewer pipe with concrete
manholes and adjustment rings, the existing watermain in the neighborhood is 6” DIP and the storm
sewer is various sizes of 12” to 18” reinforced concrete pipe. All utilities in the neighborhood were
constructed with the original roadway around 1983. From field inspection, most castings in the
neighborhood appear to be acceptable in both function and aesthetic. It was noted that some
structures looked to be covered in debris and beginning to collect sediment in the gutters around
them.
Additionally some of the curb and gutter around the
catch basins has begun to crack and sag causing
drainage issues and sedimentation. The drainage
issues could potentially lead to pavement damage
by allowing water into the pavement section. It was
noted that some of the catch basin rings are
beginning to deteriorate and break off into the
structures. Some sedimentation was noted in the
structures.
Watermain within the neighborhood consists of 6” ductile iron pipe which was installed in 1983.
The watermain functions well and is not proposed for improvement. Maintenance does not note
deficiencies in the watermain systems in this neighborhood. Valve casting adjustments would be
needed with street improvements.
Sanitary sewer pipe includes 8” PVC pipe which was also installed in 1983. The pipe and
structures are in good condition and do not require improvement. The rings and casting
adjustments would be completed with street improvements.

Drainage and Detention Ponds: Two stormwater detention ponds have been identified in the
project area. The first is located northeast of 1399 Arden Oaks Drive, and the second is located
west of 1469 Arden Oaks Drive. These two ponds have collected some sediment and have partially
lost their full ability to treat storm water before discharging to natural bodies of water. At this time,
it does not appear that a full cleanout would be
necessary, but the ponds may benefit from cleanup
around the inlets and outlets. Further investigation and
survey may be required to investigate and evaluate the
benefits and cost of the maintenance; these costs were
not factored into the cost estimates in this report.
The cul-de-sac east of Snelling Avenue appears to
have consistent ground water along the south curb line.
Upon the field inspection, several drain tile and sump
pump discharges were noted in the cul-de-sac area
extending down the street towards Snelling Avenue.
Several residents explained the drainage issues they
had in this area as well. It was noted that water comes
from the back yards in between the houses to the street on the south side of Arden Oaks Drive.
Arden Oaks Neighborhood Proposed Improvements:
Streets: Considering the existing condition, deterioration factors, and geotechnical investigation, a
full depth pavement reclamation is proposed for the streets within the project area. With pavement
ratings below 45 out of 100, mill and overlay provides only limited benefit as the underlying base
pavement materials have deteriorated to a point that cracking would reflect to the new bituminous
overlay almost immediately.
If mill and overlay is selected, a portion of the project may still need full depth reclamation according
to the forensic report and the geotechnical report including Arden Oaks drive from Snelling Ave
North 400 feet east to the cul-de-sac. For the rest of the area, a mill and overlay can be shorter-
term street improvement (10-year improvement). However, reclamation of the street section can
provide more structural aggregate base and disrupt the existing frost heaving that has breached
the existing aggregate base and bituminous surface (15-year improvement plus future mill and
overlay opportunity). Reclamation is traditionally considered a longer-term maintenance task in
which future mill and overlays can be done to extend underlying pavement and base longevity. A
mill and overlay will likely begin to show cracking within one to two years following the conclusion
of the project. Table 1 presents the coring information gathered from the geotechnical report coring
log (Exhibit 7) and forensic pavement report (Exhibit 1).

Due to the fact that some areas of the project are not recommended for a mill and overlay and
some areas of the street may require bituminous removal and replacement after milling and prior
to overlaying, it is recommended the entire project area be reclaimed and full depth pavement
replacement be performed. This will provide the neighborhood with a uniform street section and
longer lasting results.
To make room for the new bituminous
section, the reclaimed material will be
graded and compacted to a depth of 5”
below finish grade after reclamation and
excess material removed. A leveling
layer of 1” of class 5 will be added under
a 4” bituminous pavement section
placed over the new roadway base in
two lifts across the width to provide a
smooth new surface. A proposed typical
section for Arden Oaks Drive and Arden
Oaks Court is shown in Exhibit 3.
Curb and Gutter: Existing curb and gutter will remain in place except for curb that is damaged,
settled, or not draining properly. The existing curb will be inspected and marked for removal prior
to construction. It is typical to see between 20% to 30% curb replacement for residential roadways
of this age due to settlement or cracking. From examination of the curb in the field, it was found
that approximately 30% +/- 5% of the curb would need to be replaced due to large cracks or settling
causing drainage issues. For the purposes of this report and estimates, 30% was used for
calculation of project costs and scope.
One portion of curb, approximately 300 feet in
length around the Arden Oaks Drive cul-de-sac
extending down the south curb line approximately
100 feet, was noted during field inspection as being
in poor condition. It is recommended the curb in
that stretch be replaced in its entirety. In addition
to the curb being replaced, it is recommended that
drain tile be installed around the radius of the cul-
de-sac to the catch basin located on the south side
curb of the Snelling Avenue Arden Oaks
intersection. A valley gutter is also recommended
at the Arden Oaks Drive County Road E
intersection to better facilitate drainage through the
intersection.
In addition to curb and gutter replacement, driveways impacted by replaced curb and gutter will be
patched to the same, or better than, previous conditions. Turf disturbed as a part of the curb
replacement process will be restored with 6” topsoil and residential grade seed.
Utilities: It is recommended that all the manhole and catch basin rings be replaced as a part of the
pavement rehabilitation project. It is typical to reset all manhole and catch basin grades to match
the new grades of the roadway to improve drivability and drainage. In addition to the adjustment
rings, outdated and damaged manhole and catch basin casting assemblies will be replaced with
their modern castings. Storm sewer manholes and catch basins and sanitary manholes will be
recast with new concrete rings. Sanitary sewer manholes will be recast with concrete rings and
infiltration prevention products to limit inflow and infiltration into the sanitary system.

Resident Input:
On May 7, 2021, an informational letter including a questionnaire was sent to the 40 property
owners adjacent to the Arden Oaks project to inform them of upcoming street improvements and
give basic project information. The questionnaires asked about several questions including
drainage and erosion issues, pet fences and other private utilities, traffic and pedestrian issues,
and other resident concerns.
Twenty-eight (28) of the Arden Oaks neighborhood questionnaires were returned, for a 70.0%
return rate.
The letters, questionnaires, and responses are shown in Exhibit 2. Primary concerns from the
questionnaire were localized drainage issues, truck turnarounds, through traffic during congested
times, and pedestrian safety while crossing Snelling Ave and County Road E.
Several residents requested cross walks to be installed across the Ramsey County collector roads
(Snelling Avenue and County Road E) in efforts to make crossing safer and easier. Any crosswalks
proposed must follow the Ramsey County procedures and evaluation for consideration. Funding
for these improvements would also be a County expenditure. This report recommends the
assessment of pedestrian improvements, in coordination with Ramsey County, at the intersections
of Arden Oaks Drive and Snelling Avenue and Arden Oaks Drive and County Road E. There are
currently no pedestrian ramps on either side of the street and no sidewalks on Arden Oaks Drive.
Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) would require the installation of pedestrian ramps on both
sides of the intersections. Additionally, pedestrian safety and ease of crossing would benefit from
a flashing beacon sign.
An additional issue noted by residents in the questionnaire was semi-truck traffic turning around
within the neighborhood, specifically the cul-de-sac off Snelling Avenue. The neighborhood streets
are not designed for, or expected to have, any amount of truck traffic. The cul-de-sac could be
reduced in size to discourage this activity; however, this would lengthen residential driveways and
bring them closer to one another. Another solution may be to add a center island in the cul-de-sac
containing a rain garden to discourage turnaround tr affic. This issue could be reviewed as a part of
the final considerations and design process.
A power point presentation will be prepared with audio to be placed on the City’s website. This
power point will provide information from the feasibility study and offer contact information for
questions. This power point will help prepare the public for the upcoming public hearing. A link to
the website will be sent with the notice for the public hearing.
Project Funding:
Estimated costs: The following costs were prepared for both full depth reclamation (option 1) and
a mill and overlay (option 2). Engineer’s Estimates (Exhibit 4) were prepared for both options and
are subject to change depending on the final design of the project, required easements and/or right
of way, soil conditions, bids received, and actual work performed. Both cost estimates include
indirect cost for City administration, design engineering, construction engineering, legal support,
fiscal support, interest during construction, assessment roll preparation and contingencies
encountered during design and construction. Table 2 compares the estimated project construction
and indirect costs for both options.

Assessment Policy:
Per the City’s Assessment Policy, benefiting properties shall be assessed 5 0% of the street
improvement costs. The remaining 50% shall be paid through the Street Capital Improvement
Fund. The term of the assessment is proposed to be 10 years for a reclamation and 5 years for a
mill and overlay. The interest rate for the term has not yet been set and will be provided as the
process moves forward. The interest rate was assumed to be 3.15% for the purpose of this report.
The area proposed to be assessed is every lot, piece, and parcel within the City limits benefiting
from the Arden Oaks Neighborhood improvements, with driveways abutting the roadway, within the
following described areas located within Section 27-SW, Township 30N, Range 23W, as described
on 2 plats: Arden Oaks and Shady Oaks Addition. Per paragraph I in the Definitions Section of the
assessment policy (page 8), we do not recommend placing an assessment on the park within the
Arden Oaks neighborhood. The intended use of the park appears to be for the local residents of

City of Arden Hills Page 12
the neighborhood and is not intended for regional use. The improvement cost is assessed on a unit
basis to the benefiting properties as per the Assessment Policy adopted by the Arden Hills task
force in 2004, and as amended. Due to the lower density of homes within the neighborhood and
the parks centralized location, the assessments for the improvements are above average compared
to other recent assessments for similar work in the city. See Exhibit 5 for the preliminary
assessment roll and Exhibit 6 for the preliminary assessment map.
Assessment Calculation and Estimation:
The assessable amount is divided by the number of units within the project area; each lot shall
count for 1 unit. The preliminary assessment calculation is derived from taking the overall
assessable project costs, multiplying by 50%, and then dividing by the number of units within the
project area. The units are shown in the Arden Oaks Neighborhood preliminary assessment roll
and include a total number of 40 units. Below is the calculation for the assessments for both project
options. Table 3 displays the assessment calculation and estimation:

With a total estimated bond issue of $525,407 for full depth reclamation (option 1), the assessed
amount of $262,400 would be equivalent to 50% of the total bond issue. For the mill and overlay
(option 2), the bond issue would be $354,599 and assessments of $177,000 would also be
equivalent to 50% of the total bond issue.
Minnesota Statutes Chapter 429 Special Assessment Bond Issue requires that a minimum of 20%
of the total bond issue amount be recovered through special assessments.

Conclusion and Recommendation:
It is recommended that a full depth reclamation project for the Arden Oaks neighborhood be
completed. Full Depth Reclamation will produce a uniform stable long lasting roadway for the
residents of Arden Oaks as well as reduce short-term maintenance. The total estimated cost of
the recommended improvements is $583,000. A portion of this project is proposed to be
assessed to the benefiting property owners and the remainder through other funding sources. In
accordance with the City’s Assessment policy, the preliminary assessment for the recommended
improvement is calculated at $6,559 per unit. As the project is designed and competitively bid,
the calculated assessment amount will be updated leading up to the adoption of the assessment
roll. A 15% Street Improvement Plan is located in exhibit 8.
The improvements are necessary to allow for safe and reliable street and utility services within
the Arden Oaks neighborhood. The project will be competitively bid to allow for a cost effective
improvement. The feasibility study has provided an overall analysis of the feasible improvements
for consideration within this neighborhood. Therefore, the proposed improvements within the
Arden Oaks neighborhood as outlined in this report are necessary, cost effective, and feasible
from an engineering standpoint.

WSB Project No. 016063-000
WSB is pleased to submit this pavement forensics report detailing the results of the pavement
coring which was completed on May 4, 2020 in the City of Arden Hills. The various characteristics
of the pavement cores were summarized to provide information to the City to assist in
determining the appropriate pavement maintenance or rehabilitation method.
A total of 8 pavement cores were obtained within the Arden Oaks neighborhood. The locations of
the pavement cores are summarized in Figure 1. A summary of the pavement depths and
conditions for the streets are shown in Table 1. Pictures of the cores obtained can be found in
the Appendix.

Summary and Recommendations
The cores obtained within the Arden Oaks area had bituminous depths ranging from 5.75 inches
to 7 inches, with at least 3 inches of underlying aggregate base. Three of the cores were in good
condition, while the others exhibit distresses such as delamination or deterioration. The cores
had a top lift of 1.5 inches, 2 inches, or 2.5 inches. The surface of the streets (excluding the
segment where Core 9 was obtained) was observed to be in poor condition covered in extensive
amount of cracking and patching.
Based on the findings from pavement coring, it would be feasible to perform a partial depth mill
and overlay on Arden Oaks Drive (excluding the segment where Core 1 and Core 2 were taken).
It would be recommended to extend the milling depth beyond the depth of the top lift of the
existing bituminous pavement to ensure proper bonding between the new overlay and the
underlying existing asphalt. Core 4 showed raveling between pavement lifts, thus, we would
recommend the City to account for spots that may need additional patching.
It is important to note that a partial depth mill and overlay will not eliminate all the crack patterns
within the pavement. Cracks will reflect through the new overlay within a few years. That said, in
order to extend the service life of this preservation method, we would recommend the City to
conduct routine crack sealing. Crack sealing is a cost-effective method to prevent infiltration of
water and incompressible material into the cracks.
Along the segment where Core 1 and Core were taken, it would be recommended to perform a
full depth reclamation (FDR). It is our understanding that there were base issues along this
segment where water is seeping out through the bituminous pavement. An FDR would be able to
help address the base issues. This rehabilitation method would also remove all the existing
distresses, and re-blend the bituminous and a portion of the aggregate as a base to re-pave over,
essentially creating a new roadway section.

RE: Arden Oaks Street Improvements – Property Owners Questionnaire
City Project Number PW-21-0109
Dear Resident of Arden Oaks:
The City of Arden Hills has initiated the process of roadway rehabilitation and utility
improvements for the summer of 2022 which includes your neighborhood. Over the next couple
months, the City will be collecting data and studying your neighborhood street. A feasibility
report will be prepared that includes information about the recommended improvements and
associated costs. The Arden Hills City Council ordered the preparation of a feasibility report for
the Arden Oaks Neighborhood Improvements at the April 26th, 2021, city council meeting.
Things to know and consider as the project moves forward:
x Surveyors will be working on your street very soon to collect topographic data for the
street improvement project. The surveyors take ground shot data to locate key features
within the project area. They may take shots into your yard and driveway to locate
certain features and ground slopes.
x Residents pay a portion of the overall project cost in the form of a special assessment.
You will not be billed for the special assessment until 2022.
x Estimated special assessments for your neighborhood will not be determined until after
information has been gathered from the questionnaires and a feasibility report is
completed.
x An informational virtual presentation detailing the project will be available for viewing
on the cities website in the coming weeks after all information has been collected and
considered.
x Components of a project vary and are based on questionnaire responses. Special
assessments typically include the cost of the new roadway. Other utility upgrades such as
water main, sanitary sewer, and storm sewer are funded through utility funds and are not
assessed.
x Construction typically starts in spring/early summer and ends in late fall of the same year.
Another important step is to collect feedback from you regarding your street. The information
you share with us is essential in determining certain aspects of the project that may be
constructed.
The following information explains the questionnaire that is enclosed. A map showing the
boundaries of the area to be reconstructed is also enclosed. After reading this letter completely,
please complete the questionnaire and return by June 10th, 2021, in the self-addressed stamped
envelope.
Drainage and Erosion Issues
The City would like to know about any local drainage problems that you may have.
DRAFT REPORT
7-8-2021
Does storm water run-off stand in the street or in front of your house? Do you have a sump pump
that directs water towards the street? Is your lawn wet from ground water coming through the
ground? As part of the storm sewer design process, we would like to know if these or similar
situations are occurring in your yard or around your neighborhood. If so, please describe it in the
drainage and erosion section of the questionnaire. We will review them for possible corrective
action if applicable to the project.
Private Underground Utilities
Some residents install private underground utilities near the street in the City owned right-of-
way. Typically the right-of-way is 15' to 20' behind the roadway. These utilities are usually lawn
irrigation or electric pet fences. Utility and roadway improvements can damage these utilities and
other property in the right of way.
The contractor is responsible for protecting marked irrigation systems. If marked irrigation is
damaged it will be replaced by the contractor to its original or improved condition. However, if
the contractor knows the location of these private utilities, they can attempt to avoid damaging
them. Please mark your irrigation system before construction begins to avoid damage. Due to the
difficulty of locating and protecting electric pet fences, it is problematic to require the contractor
to protect and repair them during construction. If possible during construction, please accurately
mark the pet fences to avoid damage. The contractor will not be required to fix the wires marked
or unmarked, but damage may be avoidable if the fence is properly marked.
If you have any private underground utilities, please tell us in the private underground utilities
section of the questionnaire.
Traffic/Pedestrian Issues
The City of Arden Hills typically reviews traffic or pedestrian issues on local streets. We would
like to know if you feel that your roadway has any traffic or pedestrian issues. If you feel that the
streets in Arden Oaks neighborhood are overcrowded or are subject to speeding vehicles, please
make a comment on the traffic/pedestrian issues section of the questionnaire.
Questions
During the next few weeks you may see engineering staff or land surveyors gathering
information near or around your house. Feel free to ask them any questions about the street
project. If you have questions after reading this letter or talking to staff, please call me or the
engineering staff at 651-788-0269 (mobile) or 651-792-7847 (office).
Sincerely,
David Swearingen

1. INTRODUCTION
Project Location
The proposed roadway improvements will be in the Arden Oaks Neighborhood in Arden Hills, Minnesota.
Specific roadway areas include Arden Oaks Drive, Arden Oaks Court and Arden Oaks Drive.
Borings were completed through the existing pavement sections. The approximate boring locations can
be found on the Soil Boring Exhibit in Appendix A.
Project Description
It is proposed to reconstruct the existing surface along these alignments and complete curb and gutter
repairs/installation and place a new watermain. After backfilling the utilities, new roadways will be
constructed. The new roadways will be two lane bituminous roads, reconstructed to about the same
horizontal and vertical alignments as the existing ones.
Underground utilities will consist of watermain. This utility is expected to be placed within 8 feet of final
grades.
WSB has developed recommendations for this project in consideration of the proposed layout, loadings,
and configurations as understood at this time. WSB must be made aware of the revised or additional
information in order to evaluate the recommendations for continued applicability.
Purpose and Project Scope of Services
Our proposal was authorized by Sue Polka, Interim City Engineer with the City of Arden Hills. In order to
assist the design team in preparing plans and specifications, we have developed recommendations for
pavement and utility subgrade preparation and pavement thicknesses. As such, we have completed a
subsurface exploration program and prepared a geotechnical report for the referenced site. This stated
purpose was a significant factor in determining the scope and level of service provided. Should the
purpose of the report change the report immediately ceases to be valid and use of it without WSB’s prior
review and written authorization shall be at the user’s sole risk.
Our authorized scope of work has been limited to:
1. Mobilization / Demobilization of a Truck Mounted Drill Rig.
2. Clearing underground utilities utilizing the Gopher State One Call.
3. Drilling 8 standard penetration test borings to a depth of about 10 feet each.
4. Sealing the borings per Minnesota Department of Health procedures.
5. Perform soil classification and analysis.
6. Review of readily available project information and geologic data.
7. Providing this geotechnical report containing:
a. Summary of our findings.
b. Discussion of subsurface soil and groundwater conditions and how they may affect the
proposed pavements and utilities.
c. Estimated R-value of the soils.
d. A discussion of soils for use as structural fill and site fill.

2. PROCEDURES
2.1 Boring Layout and Soil Sampling Procedures
WSB recommended the boring depths and selected the desired locations. Our field crew staked the
boring locations using existing site features as guides. The approximate boring locations are shown on
the Soil Boring Exhibit in Appendix A which is an aerial photo.
We drilled the borings on June 19, 2019, with a truck-mounted CME-55 drill rig operated by a two-person
crew. The drill crew advanced the borings using continuous hollow stem augers. Drilling methods, crew
chief, depths, sampling interval, casing usage, groundwater observations, test data, and other drilling
information are indicated on the boring logs.
Generally, the drill crew sampled at 2 ½ foot intervals to the borings termination depths.
The materials encountered were described on field logs and representative samples were containerized,
and transported to our laboratory for further examination and testing.
The samples were visually examined to estimate the distribution of grain sizes, plasticity, consistency,
moisture condition, color, presence of lenses and seams, and apparent geologic origin. We classified the
soils according to type using the Unified Soil Classification System (USCS). A chart describing the
Unified Soil Classification System is included in Appendix A.
2.2 Groundwater Measurements and Borehole Abandonment
The drill crew observed the borings for free groundwater while drilling and after completion. These
observations and measurements are noted on the boring logs. The crew then backfilled the borings with
soil cuttings to comply with Minnesota Department of Health regulations.
2.3 Boring Log Procedures and Qualifications
The subsurface conditions encountered by the test borings are illustrated on the Logs of Test Borings in
Appendix A. Similar soils were grouped into the strata shown on the boring logs, and the appropriate
estimated USCS classification symbols were also added. The depths and thickness of the subsurface
strata indicated on the boring logs were estimated from the drilling results.
The transition between materials (horizontal and vertical) is approximate and is usually far more gradual
than shown. Information on actual subsurface conditions exists only at the specific locations indicated
and is relevant only to the time exploration was performed. Subsurface conditions and groundwater
levels at other locations may differ from conditions found at the indicated locations. The nature and
extent of these conditions would not become evident until exposed by construction excavation. These
stratification lines were used for our analytical purposes and, due to the aforementioned limitations,
should not be used as a basis of design or construction cost estimates.

3. EXPLORATION RESULTS
3.1 Site and Geology
The borings were performed on existing roadway alignments within the Arden Oaks neighborhood.
The Ramsey County Geologic Atlas indicated the surficial geology in the area of our borings are glacial
deposits. These deposits consist primarily of till consisting of silty and clayey sands to clay.
3.2 Subsurface Soil and Groundwater Conditions
The boring profile generally consisted of a pavement section overlying fill and/or naturally deposited
glacial till.
Pavement Section
The bituminous thickness ranged from about 5 to 6 ½ inches and averaged over 5 ½ inches. The
underlying aggregate base ranged from about 5 to 13 inches and averaged about 7 ¾ inches.
Fill
Borings PB-E, PB-G and PB-H encountered fill beneath the aggregate base. The fill consisted mainly of
sandy lean clay that was dark brown to brown and gray in color and moist.
Naturally Deposited Soils
Below the pavement section or fill, our borings encountered and terminated in glacially deposited soils.
The glacial till consisted of sandy lean clay that contained gravel, was brown and moist. Glacial outwash
consisting of sand was encountered beneath the till at a depth of about 10 feet in Boring PB-E. The fine-
to coarse-grained sand contained gravel, was brown and considered moist.
3.3 Strength Characteristics
The penetration resistance N-values of the materials encountered were recorded during drilling and are
indicated as blows per foot (BPF). Those values provide an indication of soil strength characteristics and
are located on the boring log sheets. Also, visual-manual classification techniques and apparent moisture
contents were also utilized to make an engineering judgment of the consistency of the materials.
Table 1 presents a summary of the penetration resistances in the soils for the standard penetration test
borings completed and remarks regarding the material strengths of the soils.
Table 1: Penetration Resistances
Soil Type Classification Penetration
Resistances Remarks
Fill CL 5 to 7 BPF Variable compaction
Till CL 4 to 20 BPF Very soft to hard
Outwash SP 23 BPF Medium dense
The preceding is a generalized description of soil conditions at this site. Variations from the generalized
profile exist and should be assessed from the boring logs, the normal geologic character of the deposits,
and the soils uncovered during site excavation.
3.4 Groundwater Conditions
WSB took groundwater level readings in the exploratory borings, reviewed the data obtained, and
discussed its interpretation of the data in the text of the report.
Groundwater was not observed during or shortly after drilling and sampling. It should be noted that our
borings were not left open long enough to allow for groundwater stabilization. In clay soils, it may take a
long time (longer than what was available with our time on site) for water to enter a bore hole and rise to

its hydrostatic level. Based on our observations and the apparent moisture content in the penetration test
samples it is our opinion that a static groundwater level is below the depth explored by our borings.
Note that groundwater levels may fluctuate due to seasonal variations (e.g. precipitation, snowmelt and
rainfall) and/or other factors not evident at the time of measurement.

4. ENGINEERING ANALYSIS AND RECOMMENDATIONS
4.1 Discussion
Based on our borings it is our opinion that the proposed watermain and pavement can generally be
supported on the soils encountered in the borings. However, soft sandy lean clay soils should be
anticipated during construction and a partial removal and replacement maybe necessary.
Also, the soils within the pavement subgrade consist mainly of lean clay soils, which are frost susceptible.
Consideration should be given to partially subcutting these soils and replacing with a non-frost
susceptible granular fill to reduce the potential frost heave below the pavement section.
4.2 Watermain Utilities
Invert elevations are anticipated to be within 8 feet of existing grades and we anticipate the subgrade
soils for the utilities will consist chiefly of sandy lean clay. If the clayey soils are soft or become soft it may
be necessary to perform a partial subcut and replacement. Where soft unstable soils are encountered at
invert grade, subexcavation of these materials to a depth of 1 to 2 feet and replacement with a coarse
sand or gravel is recommended. Underground utilities are expected to be installed by backhoes
completing the excavations and placing pipe and backfills. Soil compactors should be used to compact
the fill in thin even lifts to the specified densities.
4.3 Backfill and Fill Selection and Compaction
It is our opinion the onsite non-organic soils may be reused as backfill and fill provided they are moisture
conditioned and can be compacted to their specified densities. Any wet soils excavated would need to be
dried before reuse as an engineered fill. Backfills with cobbles larger than six inches (6”) should not
come in contact with utilities. We recommend that soils be moisture conditioned to meet compaction
specifications as determined from their standard Proctor tests (ASTM D-698). The fill should be spread in
thin lifts (8 to 10 inches depending on compaction equipment) to allow for full depth compaction. Table 2
indicates the recommended compaction levels.

Area Percent of Standard Proctor
Maximum Dry Density
Pavement: Within 3 feet of top of subgrade
Within 3 foot perimeter of structures such
as manholes
100
Pavement: Greater than 3 feet below top of subgrade 95
Utility Trench (unless within 3 feet of pavement
subgrade)
95
Landscaping (non-structural) 90
4.4 Dewatering
Based on the results of our soil borings and the proposed construction, dewatering is not anticipated.
4.5 Pavement Areas
After removing the existing pavement sections and backfilling the utilities, the final subgrade should have
proper stability within three vertical feet of grading grade (grade which contacts the bottom of the
aggregate base). This will generally be achieved in fill areas with proper compaction of embankment
materials and in cut areas through proper subgrade preparation. The stability of the pavement subgrade
should be evaluated using the test roll procedure (MnDOT 2111), except a fully loaded tandem axle dump
truck or a full water truck should be utilized for the proof roll. If unstable soils are found under the test roll,

these soils should be improved by means of scarification, moisture conditioning, and re-compaction, or by
subcutting and replacement. If the on-site soils cannot be moisture conditioned and compacted as
recommended, we recommend removing these unsuitable materials and replacing them with Select
Grading Material (MnDOT 2105.1.A.6). We also recommend a proof-roll be performed again on the
aggregate base just prior to placement of the bituminous pavement.
Table 3 below presents the approximate pavement section thickness and subgrade soils that were
encountered within the borings.

PB-F 6 ½ 7 Sandy lean clay
PB-G 5 ½ 5 Fill: Sandy lean clay
PB-H 6 13 Fill: Sandy lean clay
Once the site has been prepared as recommended, we anticipate the subgrade will consist predominately
of sandy lean clay. The MnDOT Flexible Pavement Design Guidance Memo from January 2017,
indicates soils such as those anticipated have an estimated R-value of 12.
Being traffic counts were not provided to us, we have assumed that the volume and distribution of
vehicles using these roadways will have 20-year flexible Equivalent Single Axle Loads (ESAL’s) less than
75,000.
Based on MnDOT’s FlexPave excel design utilizing granular equivalent charts, we recommend the
pavement sections indicated below in Table 4.

Within several years after initial paving, some thermal shrinkage cracks will develop. We recommend
routine maintenance be performed to improve pavement performance and increase pavement life.
Pavement should be sealed with a liquid bitumen sealer to retard water intrusion into the base course and
subgrade. Localized patch failures may also develop where trucks or buses turn on the pavement. When
these occur, they should be cut out and patch repaired.
4.6 Optional Frost Free Pavement Design
Optionally, the use of a non-frost susceptible sand cushion will help reduce the effects of frost heave. In
our opinion, placement of 18 inches of select granular fill below the Class 5 Aggregate Base should
generally provide for a non-frost susceptible subgrade. It should be noted that any sand cushion placed
below the pavement section will provide positive benefits for reduced potential frost heave. The owner
and/or design team should evaluate the costs and benefit of this option to determine if it should be
incorporated into the pavement design.
Drainage of the sand cushion is recommended. Drainage of the sand cushion may be accomplished by
daylighting to adjacent ditches or the use of drain tile. Drain tile wrapped in a sock should be placed at
the base of the sand cushion and tied into catch basins. We recommend the sand cushion contain a
select granular sand with less than 12% passing the #200 sieve. Alternately, a 3 inch minus rock fill could
be placed instead of a select granular sand and drain tile.
For transitioning the thickness of the sand subbase along the profile of the roadway, we recommend the
thickness have a longitudinal taper of no steeper than 10H:1V. A taper of 4H:1V can be used
perpendicular to the centerline for cross street/driveway connections. The placement of the sand
subbase should extend slightly beyond the outer edge of the curbs to maintain subgrade uniformity for
frost movement.
4.7 Construction Considerations
Good surface drainage should be maintained throughout the work. Under no circumstances should fill be
placed into standing water.
Soil corrections at this site for pavement subgrades may not be continuous in all areas. We recommend
tapering the fills back to native soils at a ten to one (10:1) slope.
4.8 Construction Safety
All excavations must comply with the requirements of OSHA 29 CFR, Part 1926, Subpart P “Excavations
and Trenches”. This document states that excavation safety is the responsibility of the contractor.
Reference to this OSHA requirement should be included in the job specifications.
The responsibility to provide safe working conditions on this site, for earthwork, building construction, or
any associated operations is solely that of the contractor. This responsibility is not borne in any manner
by WSB.
4.9 Cold Weather Construction
It is our understanding that construction is unlikely to occur during the winter months. However, if the
construction does continue into the winter months we recommend the following guidelines.
Only unfrozen fill should be used. Placement of fill must not be permitted on frozen soil.
4.10 Field Observation and Testing
The soil conditions illustrated on the Logs of Test Borings in Appendix A are indicative of the conditions
only at the boring locations. For this reason, we recommend that all excavations at this site be observed
by a geotechnical engineer or technician prior to fill or backfill placement or construction of any foundation
elements to determine if the soils are capable of supporting the fill backfill and/or foundation loads. These
DRAFT REPORT

WSB Project No. 014297-000 Page 8
observations are necessary to judge if all unsuitable materials have been removed from within the
planned construction area and an appropriate degree of lateral oversize has been provided.
WSB also recommends a representative number of field density tests be taken in all engineered fill and
backfill placed to aid in judging its suitability. Fill placement and compaction should be monitored and
tested to determine that the resulting fill and backfill conforms to specified density, strength or
compressibility requirements. Prior to use, any proposed fill and backfill material should be submitted to
the WSB laboratory for testing to verify compliance with recommendations and project specifications.
Dynamic Cone Penetrometer (DCP) tests can be completed in the aggregate base in lieu of density
testing. We recommend following MnDOT Specification 2211.3.D.2.c.
WSB would be pleased to provide the necessary field observation, monitoring and testing services during
construction.
4.11 Plan Review and Remarks
The observations, recommendations and conclusions described in this report are based primarily on
information provided to WSB, obtained from our subsurface exploration, our experience, several
necessary assumptions and the scope of service developed for this project and are for the sole use of our
client. We recommend that WSB be retained to perform a review of final design drawing and
specifications to evaluate that the geotechnical engineering report has not been misinterpreted. Should
there be any changes in the design or location of the structures related to this project or if there are any
uncertainties in the report we should be notified. We would be pleased to review any project changes
and modify the recommendations in this report (if necessary) or provide any clarification in writing.
The entire report should be kept together; for example, boring logs should not be removed and placed in
the specifications separately.
The boring logs and related information included in this report are indicators of the subsurface conditions
only at the specific locations indicated on the Soil Boring Exhibit and times noted on the Logs of Test
Boring sheets in Appendix A. The subsurface conditions, including groundwater levels, at other
locations on the site may differ significantly from conditions that existed at the time of sampling and at the
boring locations.
The test borings were put down by WSB solely to obtain indications of subsurface conditions as part of a
geotechnical exploration program. No services were performed to evaluate subsurface environmental
conditions.
WSB has not performed any observations, investigations, studies or testing that is not specifically listed in
the scope of service. WSB shall not be liable for failing to discover any condition whose discovery
required the performance of services not authorized by the Agreement.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: July 19, 2021
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
Dave Perrault, City Administrator
FROM: John Morast, HR Green - Transportation
David Swearingen, Interim Public Works Director
SUBJECT: City Council Speed Limits Discussions
Budgeted Amount: Actual Amount: Funding Source:
$ $
Council Should Consider
Council should consider presentation information and options and discuss if further actions are
desired.
Background
Legislative changes to the Mn Statutes governing speed limits on local streets were presented
and discussed during the May 13 Council meeting. Minnesota Statute 169.14 Speed Limits,
Zones; Radar regulates highway and roadway speeds in Minnesota and sets statutory speed limits
on a variety of roadways in Minnesota. Subdivision 2 sets maximum speed limits on a variety of
roadways within a Municipality, if adopted by the road authority. The Statute identified the
Commissioner of Transportation as the road authority. When local authorities suspect that an
existing speed limit was not appropriate (either too low or too high) on their local roads, they
can request the commissioner to authorize an engineering and traffic investigation and to erect
appropriate speed limit signs. The results of the investigation could provide speed limit changes
either up or down and would be signed accordingly.
In August 2019, the Minnesota Legislature changed the Statutes governing speed limits on city
streets. The changes allow cities to establish speed on roads under the City’s jurisdiction, other
than the statutory limits, without conducting an engineering and traffic investigation. Any speed
limit change must be implemented in a consistent and understandable manner. “The city must
Page 2 of 2
erect appropriate signs to display the speed limit. A city that uses the authority under this
subdivision must develop procedures to set speed limits based on the city's safety, engineering,
and traffic analysis. At a minimum, the safety, engineering, and traffic analysis must consider
national urban speed limit guidance and studies, local traffic crashes, and methods to effectively
communicate the change to the public.”
Discussion
With these State law changes, City Councils are now considered the “road authority” for
municipal roadways. With previous speed limit discussions, Council desired additional
information regarding speed limits and options. A review of the surrounding cities found that
most have at least reviewed the new authority, many have had discussions at various levels and,
to date, only St. Anthony Village has acted to reduce speed limits on City streets to 25 mph.
The presentation is intended to recap information from previous discussions and provide options
for Council to move forward with any further discussions and/or action the Council would like to
take.
Budget Impact
Budget impacts are dependent on what options and actions the Council takes.

AGENDA ITEM – 1C
MEMORANDUM
DATE:
July 19, 2021
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
Dave Perrault, City Administrator
FROM: Gayle Bauman, Finance Director
SUBJECT: 2022 – 2026 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP)
Budgeted Amount: Actual Amount: Funding Source:
N/A N/A Various
Council Should Consider
Provide feedback to staff on Preliminary 2022 – 2026 CIP Plan.
Background
Annually, the City prepares a five (5) year Capital Improvement Plan for budgeting and forecasting.
The focus of the CIP is on the maintenance and protection of the City’s existing assets,
redevelopment, and investment in new initiatives. The CIP is part of the budget process, but it is
not a budget, it is a plan, and one that changes often. The CIP does not commit the council to the
proposed projects, nor implement the assumptions made during the preparation; however, this is
the basis for the 2022 Budget as we continue with its preparation.
The city has a finite amount of resources, so prioritizing and then being able to finance projects is
crucial for ensuring the city’s long-term sustainability and being responsible stewards of the city’s
investments. Staff has been working on completing a comprehensive study of the City’s current
and future needs for infrastructure projects to better estimate project costs and ensure more accurate
forecasting of available fund balances.
Discussion
A preliminary plan has been prepared and is attached which includes a summary of projects,
detailed project sheets, sources of funds, and estimated fund balances (since the operating budgets
have not yet been completed, these fund balances are estimated operating costs). Information is
included on street and park projects going out ten (10) years even though our CIP is only for five
years. Please note that project timelines are subject to change and that the current timeline is City
Staff’s best estimate.
The 2021-2025 CIP was an $18.8 Million plan, while the proposed 2022-2026 CIP is listed for
$15.3 Million in expenditures. This is an 18.7% decrease from the previous year’s program or
$3,526,490. The biggest change is found in street projects.
Page 2 of 3
PIR Fund
x The city has about $60 million of streets and trails (based on 29.42 miles of city streets).
Estimating the useful life of these assets at 40 years would require an investment of about
$1.5 million annually. The current funding sources of the tax levy, Municipal State Aid and
special assessments account for about $1.1 million on average per year. This gap in the CIP
fluctuates from year-to-year, but will need to be addressed over time.
x A property tax levy of $250,000 is being proposed for 2022, which is unchanged from 2021.
x The city has been able to self-finance the special assessment portion thus far. However, with
the cost of these projects increasing, we may need to eventually look at bonding for the
special assessment portion of street projects. Current projections do not include any
prepayments of special assessments.
x There is a definite need to stay on top of street improvement projects to ensure streets reach
their useful lives and don’t require costly premature full reconstructions. Several areas of the
city are reaching those crucial ages that significant outlay is needed to ensure the long-term
vitality of the streets.
x Some of the future projects were moved out even further to try and get the City on a schedule
of completing a major street reconstruction project every other year.
x The Snelling Ave. road project (County Road E to Highway 51) is scheduled to proceed in
2022 but the intersection was separated out as its own project and isn’t scheduled until 2023.
x The two trail projects (Mounds View High School and Snelling Avenue N) for which grant
funding is being looked into, are not currently included in the CIP.
x The 3 types of street improvement projects being considered based on condition are:
o Resurfacing is the milling of the top 1.5 to 2 inch surface layer of street pavement and
overlaying the street with a new bituminous surface layer.
o Full Depth Reclamation involves spot repair of existing curb, milling or reclaiming the
full depth of existing bituminous pavement, blending milled material with underlying
aggregate material and installing a new bituminous pavement section.
o Reconstruction involves removal and replacement of larger quantities of existing curb,
installing underlying subgrade correction materials, new aggregate base and a new
bituminous pavement section.
Public Safety Capital Equipment Fund
x The fund is currently being used to account for capital expenditures made by the Lake
Johanna Fire Department.
x A transfer from the General Fund was completed in 2020 to cover the city’s cost of the land
for the new fire station.
x The assumption being used for this CIP is that debt service on the new fire station will begin
in 2025 at $195,000 per year and continuing for 15 years. This could be decreased to
$155,000 if we were to bond for 20 years. Property tax levy increases are proposed for the
years 2021-2025 with a final total levy increase of $225,000.
x Major vehicle purchases are projected to occur in 2022, 2025, 2027 and 2029. LJFD may
need to reevaluate their need and look at spreading these costs out over a longer period of
time to level off the funds needed from contract cities.
Equipment & Building Replacement Fund
x The current plan includes completion of the city hall parking lot project in 2022.
Page 3 of 3
x The long-term asset management plan for equipment has not yet been completed so purchases
are only scheduled out for 5 years.
Utility Funds
x Public Works staff continues to evaluate the condition of City utilities throughout the
community. The majority of street projects currently include a minimum amount for isolated
utility repairs. Staff will complete a comprehensive review of the utility systems to identify
locations where broader water, sanitary sewer and drainage replacement is needed. This will
increase the forecasted capital expenses for the utility funds.
x Rate increase assumptions are as follows:
Water – 2022-2024 (4.5%); 2025-2026 (0%); 2027-2028 (2%); 2029-2031 (0%)
Sewer – 2022-2025 (3.5%); 2026 (0%); 2027-2031 (2%)
Storm – 2022 (3%); 2023-2031 (0%)
Council Direction
Staff is seeking direction from the City Council regarding the following items:
2022 projects
As we review the 2022 projects, does the Council have any questions, comments or concerns
about including them during budget preparation?
2022 property tax levy
The levies for the EDA ($100,000), Equipment/Building Replacement ($50,000) and PIR
($250,000) are currently proposed to remain at the same amount as was levied in 2021 in this plan.
The plan reflects a $50,000 increase in the levy for the Public Safety Capital Fund, going from
$120,000 to $170,000. It is assumed that levy increases will be needed each year from 2022-2025
to ensure the City has sufficient cash on hand to make its debt service payments once the new fire
station is built. Should staff continue forward with this assumption?
2021 General Fund transfer
There is $548,000 available to transfer from the General Fund to capital funds in 2021. This total
represents the amount at 12/31/2020 that was in excess of the 50% fund balance reserve goal
stated in the City’s financial policies. There are needs in the PIR and Public Safety Capital
Funds. Does the Council have a preference on where the funds should go?
Budget Impact
The Council should review the estimated fund balances and funding sources with special attention
given to the Public Safety Capital and Utility Funds.

This is one of our three large dump trucks used primarily for plowing and de-icing streets. While the mileage on this vehicle is relatively low, due
to the corrosiveness of salt, the frame and bodies are beginning to deteriorate. With only three dump trucks in the snow plow fleet it is imperative
that they be dependable during snow events.

FROM: Gayle Bauman, Finance Director
SUBJECT: Water Meters Discussion
Budgeted Amount: Actual Amount: Funding Source:
N/A N/A Water Fund
Council Should Consider
Council should consider discussion of water meter interference issues the City has been
experiencing since November 2020.
Background
Sometime around 12/31/2020, when staff was working on the 4th quarter utility billing for 2020, it
became apparent that we weren’t receiving reads on about 300 of our 2600+ meters, mostly in the
southern portion of the City. Staff needed to complete the billing cycle per City Code and went
about estimating the 4th quarter reads for properties based on usage amounts from the past 3 years.
Staff met with employees from Metering & Technology Solutions who deal with the meters,
transmitters and collectors in conjunction with Badger Meter. It was determined that the collectors
and meters were operating properly and that the likely cause was signal interference.
Metering & Technology Solutions suggested that the city have Ancom conduct an RF Study in an
attempt to locate the source of any potential interference to the automated water meter reporting
system. Ancom had recently worked with another City on identifying interference issues.
As staff was preparing the 1st quarter utility billing for 2021, it became apparent that we were still
not getting reads on about 150 properties. A note was included in the 03/26/21 Admin Update
indicating that letters were being sent out to these properties in an attempt to get accurate meter
reads for the billing cycle. The City received about 95 responses to their inquiry so only about 55
accounts needed to be estimated.
The Ancom Study has since been completed and it was determined that the only likely source of
interference was an elevated noise floor, as there were no other discernable sources of interference
present during the testing.
Page 2 of 2
For this 2nd quarter billing, we ended up not getting reads on about 140 properties. In looking back,
the meter readings seemed to drop off about a week before Thanksgiving, which is also the same
time the State went into lockdown again because of COVID 19. It also appears as if some of the
reads came back on line, at least intermittently, in mid January. This would correspond to the time
the lockdown started to be lifted. There is a possibility that some of this interference had to do with
an increased use of electronic devices and companies working to increase their signal strength for
their customers.
Discussion
The three solutions presented to the City by Ancom were to (1) replace our antennas; (2) upgrade
our antennas; or (3) install a 4th collector in the City. Metering & Technology Solutions also
strongly suggested that we upgrade our Read Center software as they no longer support the
transmitters we currently use. As we need additional transmitters or the old ones start to fail, they
will be replaced with ones that use a cellular signal to transmit data and the Read Center software
does not work with them.
Staff is moving forward with upgrading our Read Center software to Beacon software. This should
be completed by the end of July. This upgrade won’t help with the interference issues we are
having but we were told it will take care of the power issues we are experiencing at the North
Tower. Also, it will enable us to obtain additional transmitters as old ones wear out and new
services are added.
A benefit of the new Beacon software is a Customer Portal that will be made available to all
customers, regardless of the type of transmitter they have in their home/business. Once customers
sign up for this portal, they will be notified of abnormal water usage (potential leaks) in real time,
and the City will no longer need to prepare the courtesy leak letters.
Staff is currently working with Metering & Technology Solutions and Badger Meter to overcome
the interference issues we are experiencing. They have one of our old collectors in their warehouse
which they are currently working to repair so the City can test out the effectiveness of a potential
4th collector for the City. We are still waiting to hear if it is repairable or not. If it is not repairable,
we will need to look at either purchasing an additional collector or replacing/upgrading our
antennas.
Budget Impact
Estimated cost to repair our old collector is $1,300. Estimated cost to upgrade Read Center is
$6,580. We do not currently have estimates on a new collector or replacing/upgrading the antennas.
A new collector was purchased in 2020 at a cost of $6,500. Any invoices received related to these
items will be paid from the Water Fund.

Contained herein is the report and recommendations
based on RF study conducted in Arden Hills, MN
Attachment A
Summary of Testing
On Thursday April 8th 2021, ANCOM conducted an RF study of the area in and around
Arden hills, MN to determine any potential interference to the automated water meter data
collection system that is currently used by the City of Arden Hills.
Test equipment used was a Viavi (formerly Aeroflex) 8800SX series Digital Radio Test
Set, Anritsu S332D Spectrum Analyzer, Neon Signal Mapping Software, a Motorola XPR 7550e
portable radio, and iBwave Design Enterprise software for post processing and data mapping.
Testing began at the Red Fox Road collector. We documented that the noise floor in the
area around Arden Hills was noticeably elevated likely due to the proximity of the Shoreview
broadcast towers. There were no other discernable sources of interference present during the
testing. The portable radio was set to the water meter transmit frequency of 456.7625 MHz so
that we could verify that transmissions were actually coming from the water meters and not
another source.
Once it was determined that the only likely source of interference was the elevated noise
floor itself, we began to map the level of the noise floor throughout the city and surrounding
areas.
At no time during the testing was any other potential source of interference identified.
Conclusions
Based on our test results, and signal documentation, it is our conclusion that the existing
collectors are functioning. However, due to the elevated noise floor, signals coming from too far
away are being "washed out" by the noise, and therefore not receivable by the collectors.
Essentially, the collectors are trying to "listen" for a transmission that is being
"whispered" from a mile away; while something is "screaming" right next to them. The
collectors cannot separate out the water meter transmission from the noise if the water meter
transmission arrives at a signal level that is below the noise floor at the collector.
Based on noise floor levels and the collection data provided by the city, we have
generated a diagram that illustrates the effective receive area of each collector. In areas where
the noise floor is high, the water meters need to be close to the collector for reliable
functionality. This leads us to make the following recommendations.
Recommendations
We have determined multiple courses of action we would recommend to the City of
Arden Hills. They are arranged in this document in terms of Good, Better, and Best. If desired,
ANCOM can provide a quote to provide any of the following solutions.
First, we present the "Good" Solution:
The receive antennas and collectors have been exposed to the elements for several years
now, and there may be some degradation in receive capability due to this. We could replace all
the receive antennas and cable assemblies with new equipment. This would rule out the
possibility of equipment failure as a cause of the decreased reading, but would do nothing to
change the way that the collectors function. The antennas that are in use are readily available as
are the cable assemblies, so this solution could be implemented relatively soon. This would also
be the lowest cost solution. However, this solution does not address that there is still an elevated
noise floor present, and any interference coming in to the collector would increase along with the
water meter transmissions.
Next, we will discuss the "Better" Solution:
Since there is collection deficiency in a defined area of the city, our "Better" solution is to
replace the receive antennas with a completely different antenna system. This would involve the
use of directional antennas that have higher gain. Instead of utilizing the low-profile antennas
that are currently in place, we would install a set of directional Yagi antennas that would receive
water meter transmissions from a set direction. Utilizing a directed array of antennas would
allow us to "shape" the area of reception from a particular collector.
Last, we offer, for your consideration, the Best solution:
This solution is to install a 4th collector in the southern area of the city. We have
determined that if available, a 4th collector utilizing the directional antennas would greatly
increase the receive area of the system.
We have identified Johanna Marsh Park as a viable location for the potential 4th collector.
This solution would require the installation of a structure or pole that would put the collector
around 40 feet above the ground. This would ensure an adequate RF pathway would exist
between any potential water meter and the collector.
We understand there are many logistical challenges that are present when trying to install
poles in a marshland environment, and there are certainly other locations that may be available.
Our recommendation is simply the most centrally located, City owned property we could find.
Report Pictures
Below are images of the test data collected, as well as the illustrations describing the various
recommendations above:
This image is the noise floor data that we collected. Areas where the colors are “warmer” means
the noise floor is higher and therefor the meters need to be closer to the collectors in order to be
received.
This image is composite of the collector receive area over the noise floor data. Note that the red
fox road collector has the smallest area due to the higher noise floor levels surrounding it.
This is an image of the collector receive area only. This image is included to provide a clear
distinction between the current receive area and the “better” plan receive area. (illustrated below)
This is an illustration of the collector receive area if we replace the antenna systems as described
in the “better” plan. Note that in this plan most of the area of the city can be included without
the addition of a 4th collector, however, the very southern edge of the city may still have some
marginal areas. This could be addressed by using a higher gain antenna on the Red Fox Road
collector.
This image illustrates the 4th collector scenario. The 4th collector would be installed with the
directional antenna array from the outset to ensure that the entire southern portion of the city is
within the receive area. This illustration assumes that the collector is installed at the Johanna
Marsh park area.

AGENDA ITEM – 1E
MEMORANDUM
DATE: July 19, 2021 TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers FROM: Dave Perrault, City Administrator SUBJECT: Community Development Staffing
Budgeted Amount: Actual Amount: Funding Source:
N/A N/A N/A
For Council Consideration
Council may provide direction on Community Development staffing.
Background
The City Council discussed Community Development Staffing at its June work session;
following that discussion Council directed Staff to bring back a draft job description for a
Community Development Director position, which had a focus on planning duties.
The City currently has a Senior Planner on Staff. Prior the departure of the previous Community
Development Manager/City Planner, Council intended to hire two positions to facilitate the
City’s planning functions. One option proposed would be to have a Community Development
Director who has a focus on planning, but also oversees the Building Department and is the
overall head for the Community Development Department. Another option would be to re-post
for a City Planner position and see what the pool of applicants looks like; however, this approach
would still leave a gap in the Community Development Department Head function.
For reference, here are the proposed salary ranges for either a City Planner or Community
Development Director:
City Planner
Grade 15: $76,761 - $97,238
Community Development Director
Grade 20: $102,723 - $130,127
Page 2 of 2
Budget Impact
The impact will depend on how the Council wants to move forward. The 2021 budget includes
an Associate Planner (grade 11) and a Community Development Manager/City Planner (grade
16). The current Senior Planner is grade 13, so either option will have a slight impact on the
budget.
