AGENDA ITEM – 1A
MEMORANDUM
DATE: March 21, 2022
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
Dave Perrault, City Administrator
FROM: Jessica Jagoe, City Planner
SUBJECT: Planning Case 22-005 – Concept Plan Review
Saltbox Proposal – 4440 Round Lake Road West
Budgeted Amount: Actual Amount: Funding Source:
N/A N/A N/A
Council Should Consider
Council should consider a request for a Concept Plan Review for a proposed interior buildout of
214 flexible office and warehouse suites at 4440 Round Lake Road West. Each suite is leased by
an individual business, typically startup digital commerce companies. The Applicant is seeking
feedback from the City Council on the concept plan in advance of the full submission which staff
believes would include a land use application for a Variance and/or Site Plan Review in order to
satisfy off-street parking requirements.
The Concept Plan Review process is an opportunity for the City Council to provide comments
and questions regarding proposed developments. A concept review is considered advisory and is
nonbinding to the City and Applicant (Section 1320.14, Subd 4 of the Zoning Code). No formal
action can be taken at a Work Session. A formal application will be subject to the full review
process, including a public hearing with Planning Commission and City Council review.
Background
In January, the City was contacted by the Project Manager assisting a company called Saltbox in
their search efforts for an expansion site in Minnesota. They currently have five locations across
the United States. Saltbox offers flexible warehouse and office suites that are leased by
individual businesses, usually startup/small digital commerce companies. The intent of Saltbox
is to provide an all-inclusive collaborative workspace to small businesses by providing the
essential operations and logistical infrastructure that enables a business to start and scale its
growth.
Page 2 of 7
Concept Plan Proposal
Saltbox has submitted a proposed interior floor plan that shows a buildout of 214 flexible spaces
that can be used as either warehouse, office, or some combination of the two (Attachment D).
Suites will range in size from 76 sq. ft. up to approx. 2,000 sq. ft. The suites are constructed with
10’ high modular walls that are open above with no ceilings. Each suite is equipped with power,
HVAC, and Wi-Fi as well as access to a shared central loading dock for shipping/delivery needs.
Each Saltbox facility is designed with conference rooms, huddle rooms/lounges, bathrooms,
main entry/welcoming area, and a break room that are shared by the small business tenants. The
facility is open seven (7) days a week from 6 AM to 11 PM.
In addition, Saltbox employs Operations Specialists that handle the on-demand logistical services
for receipt and delivery of packages, plus they are able to provide order fulfillment assistance to
the small business owners. A package that is delivered to Saltbox is received by the Operations
Specialist at the loading dock. The Saltbox employee then distributes smaller boxes to the
individual suites or there is secured warehouse space for larger packages. Saltbox employees are
onsite from 8 AM to 6 PM. The Applicant has stated this window of time is when 95% of their
activity is expected to occur.
Saltbox is proposing the Arden Hills location would be for 214 warehouse and office suites with
an estimated maximum occupancy of 398 members and 15 Saltbox employees. Saltbox would
say that their flexible business model means that the 398 members would not be at the facility at
the same time, but rather come and go at the needs of their individual business.
Discussion
Existing Conditions
The property is zoned GB, Gateway Business District. In addition, the parcel abuts Round Lake
which would also be subject to applicable Shoreland regulations as a riparian lot. The entire
property is guided for Light Industrial and Office use in the 2040 Comprehensive Plan.

The property was developed in 1979 prior to the City’s creation of the Gateway Business Zoning
District. The total lot area is 358,036 square feet (8.2 acres) and the building is 113,565 square
feet. At the time of construction, the existing development and uses complied with the
applicable zoning codes. Today under the GB District, the existing development does not meet
setback requirements for the building and off-street parking and is considered legal
nonconforming.
Page 3 of 7
Over the years, the property has continuously been utilized for office and warehouse use. The
building is currently vacant, but the former occupant was Deluxe Corporation. The historical
uses of the property would be allowed to continue as a legal right as a legal nonconforming so
long as there is no intensification or expansion of said use. In 2004, it was documented that the
distribution of uses within the building to be supported by the current parking supply would be
no greater than 10% office (11,356 sq. ft.) and 90% warehouse (102,209 sq. ft.). Additionally,
the former zoning of the parcel did not require a Special Use Permit for warehouse use. With the
legal nonconforming designation, any expansion of the building and/or uses would require the
property to be brought into conformance with current zoning regulations. That action could
trigger the need for a Conditional Use Permit or a Variance if code current code requirements
could not be met.
Aerial Map of Subject Property
The following are the Gateway Business District minimum setbacks:
• Front yard – 50 feet
• Side Yard (interior) – 20 feet/40 feet combination
• Rear Yard – 20 feet
• Off-Street Parking from ROW – 50 feet
• Off-Street Parking from Side or Rear Property Lines – 20 feet
The Certificate of Survey on file shows the parking lot is approx. 10 feet from the south property
line and the building is approx. 14 feet from the north property line.
Page 4 of 7
Off-Street Parking Requirements
As noted above, city records have documented that the former use of the building was no more
than 10% office and 90% warehouse use. The table below illustrates the number of off-street
parking spaces that would be required based on that ratio under current city code requirements.

and Industry at
90% warehouse
or 102,209 sq. ft.
1 for each 1,000 sq.
ft. of floor area
102.2 stalls
As a nonconforming site, this ratio is an important factor when evaluating a future land use
because any intensification of use or shift in floor area between land uses has the likelihood of
increasing the deficiency of off-street parking for this site. Again, the property can continue to
operate in the same manner as a legal nonconforming without any further action.
In the review of Saltbox’s proposal there are three classifications of use that Planning Staff has
determined could be applicable in calculating the number of parking spaces required:
• Business and Industry – 1 for each employee on major shift plus 1 for each vehicle used
in conducting the business or 1 for each 1,000 sq. ft. of floor area, whichever is greater
• Business and Professional Office – 1 for each 250 sq. ft. of gross floor area
• Multiple Occupancy Structure – 1 for each space required for each separate use
Page 5 of 7
Below is a table that illustrates a couple of scenarios for the number of off-street parking spaces
required based on these provisions compared to the existing number of spaces:
Off-Street Parking Use
Classifications
Required
Number of
Stalls
Parking Deficiency
10% office/90% warehouse 148 -39 stalls
20% office/80% warehouse 182 -74 stalls
30% office/70% warehouse 216 -108 stalls
Multiple Occupancy Structure –
1:1 for each separate use
214 -113 stalls
Parking Study
During the month of March, the Applicant conducted a study of the parking usage at their Texas
location. This location has 126 office and warehouse suites with a maximum tenant occupancy
of 186 members. Saltbox has indicated that occupancy is monitored through the issuances of
access passes. No further detail was provided on how the number of access passes is determined
or how they are distributed amongst the business owners. Additionally, there are 12 Saltbox
employees at this location that are not factored into those occupancy numbers. Their Texas site
has a total of 85 parking spaces. Saltbox has provided a chart to show peak parking usage over a
seven (7) day work week (Attachment E). The Applicant states that “at the peak parking periods
only 22% of the parking spaces were utilized by small business tenants”.
In comparison, the proposal for the Arden Hills location would be for 214 office and warehouse
suites with an estimated maximum occupancy of 398 members and 15 Saltbox employees. They
anticipate a peak parking demand of 91 spaces (i.e. 22% utilization) and feel this site would be
sufficient to meet their needs given there are 108 existing parking spaces.
Land Use Application Considerations
Planning Staff has advised the Applicant that the warehouse suites as proposed would not be
classified under traditional “warehouse” use in calculating the off-street parking requirements
given that each of these suites is an individual business. The proposed land use complies with
the office and warehouse uses as allowed in the GB District, but it is that ratio of what
percentage of each use is occurring within the building. The warehouse suites are set up with a
type of desk/workspace for the business owner. There is a high probability that a small business
leasing a warehouse suite is performing business operations that fall under activity also related to
“office” given the approach of the Saltbox concept.

Image from the Saltbox website of Suites
In evaluating nonconforming uses, buildings, and lots, the City shall refer to City Code Section
1350 which mirrors the regulations of State Statute 462.357 for determining what type(s) of
activity (i.e. continuation, rebuild, maintenance, expansion, etc.) may or may not be allowed.
From the information reviewed, the determination has been made that the proposed use is an
intensification of the site and a departure from not more than 10% office and 90% warehouse.
This is due to the cumulative impacts of Saltbox employees, plus the potential for 200+ small
businesses that may also have employees and/or clients utilizing the site.
Therefore, Staff has provided direction to the Applicant that they would need to apply for a
variance from off-street parking requirements given the proposed utilization of the building has
increased the demand for parking. In their assessment of the Arden Hills site, the Applicant has
identified a “Proof of Parking” area for the potential of creating an additional 36 parking spaces.
Since Saltbox performs the operational duties involved with the shipment and delivery of
packages for the tenants, the daily delivery and pickup services could be facilitated from one
loading dock. That would allow for the area in front of the other two loading docks to be
converted to additional parking. Through the Concept Review, the Applicant is seeking
feedback from the City Council in advance of a future land use application for a Variance and/or
Site Plan Review.
Site Plan Review is required under Appendix A for the following various procedures:
1. New Development or Additions in any Business, Industrial or Multiple Family zoning
districts.
2. Re-Use of business or industrial buildings that requires more parking than the
previous use.
3. Reorganization of parking, drives and entrances in any Business, Industrial or
Multiple Family Zoning districts.
4. Zoning District Change (preliminary site development plan)
5. Variances
6. Conditional Use Permit
7. Planned Unit Development
8. Substantive changes, as determined by the Zoning Administrator, to approved Site
Plans or existing developed sites
City Code Section 1325.06 Subd. 1.F. for Reduction in Number of Required Spaces states -
“The number of spaces required for a specific use may be reduced if the owner or
occupant provides documentation that a lesser number of spaces will actually be needed
than normally required by this Code and the City Council authorizes such lesser number
after recommendation by the Planning Commission. The difference in the number of
Page 7 of 7
spaces provided and those required shall be shown on the approved site plan as "proof-
of-parking" and shall be constructed if and when the need for such additional spaces
arises.”
Saltbox has provided a preliminary interior floor plan and a parking analysis for their proposed
use. Based on an initial review, staff believes the proposal may require one or both of the
following land use requests:
• Variance
• Site Plan Review

Brief Description of Request (please also include a typed, detailed letter explaining the project):
Filing & Information Requirements
The City requests that you make a pre-application meeting with the City Planner to discuss the application
process, requirements, and deadlines. Unless waived by the City Planner or Planning Commission, a certified
survey of the property is required for all applications. A checklist with additional application requirements can be
found at www.cityofardenhills.org/landuseapplications.
Complete/Incomplete Applications
Under Minnesota Statute, Chapter 15.99, cities have 15 business days to review all plans and application
materials to ensure they satisfy City requirements. During the 15 day review period, planning staff will provide
written comments on the application and may request plan revisions. If the application is determined to be
complete, Minnesota State Statute then requires the City to approve or deny the application within 60 days, up
to 120 days. If not complete, the City may require plan revisions and/or additional information before the
application is scheduled for Planning Commission review and/or C ity Council action. Project will not be
scheduled for any meeting until the application submittal is found to be complete by the City Planner.
Payment of Fees and Escrows
The undersigned acknowledges that she/he understands that before a land use application can be deemed
complete, all required fees and escrows must be paid to the City. The applicant is responsible for all costs
incurred by the City related to the processing of this application. Each separate land use request shall be
charged a separate administrative fee and escrow even if submitted on the same application. Costs expended in
reviewing and processing an application will be charged against the cash escrow and credited to the City.
Charges to the escrow may include planning and engineering staff time, City Attorney and consulting fees, and
mailing costs. If, at any time, a required cash escrow is depleted to less than 20 percent of its original amount,
the applicant shall deposit additional funds in the cash escrow account as determined by the City. The City may
withhold final action on a land use application, withhold building permits, and/or rescind prior action until all fees
have been paid. Unused portions of an escrow are returned to the applicant upon successful implementation of
an approved plan. The escrow may be reduced or increased by the City Planner on a project by project basis.
Notice of Meeting Attendance

Saltbox Parking Analysis (March 2022)
Subject Property: Saltbox Farmers Branch (4653 Nall Rd., Farmers Branch, TX 75244)
Building Information:
● Total building size - approximately 66,000 square feet, consisting of 101 warehouse
suites and 15 rentable offices
● Maximum member occupancy - 186 member access passes
● Saltbox employees - typically 12 on site during normal business hours
● Parking spaces - 85
Parking Analysis Methodology:
● Parking utilization monitored over the entire month of February 2022.
● Parking monitored through review of multiple on-site security cameras.
Results:
Conclusions:
● Even at its peak, parking utilization at Saltbox Farmers Branch equals only 22% of the
total access passes plus Saltbox employees.
● The Arden Hills property has a conservative estimate of 398 potential members and 15
Saltbox employees on site at any given time. Accordingly, the anticipated peak parking
need is 91 spots, with most utilization significantly below that.
● Given this data, the existing 107 spots should be more than sufficient for our needs.

AGENDA ITEM – 1B
MEMORANDUM
DATE: March 21, 2022
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
Dave Perrault, City Administrator
FROM: David Swearingen, P.E. Public Works Director / City Engineer
SUBJECT: County Road E and Old Snelling Ave Intersection Improvements
Budgeted Amount: Actual Amount: Funding Source:
$ $
Council Should Consider Council should consider discussing the results of the open-house and public survey for the
intersection of County Rd E and Old Snelling Ave and provide direction for design alternatives.
A formal approval of a design alternative would be brought forward at a later Regular Meeting in
the form of a Cooperative and Maintenance Agreement with Ramsey County.
Background/ Discussion Attachment A is the summary of the Public Engagement Survey for the County Rd E and Old
Snelling Ave intersection provided by the County’s engineering consultant SRF.
Council recently reviewed the latest Intersection Control Evaluation Report that analyzed 3
different design alternatives and determines a recommendation for a long-term preferred
improvement. The report concludes that a roundabout is the optimum form of traffic control at
this location.
Improvements to this intersection are scheduled for 2023, in order to keep this project moving
along per schedule, it is important to have clear direction from City Council on the design.

Phase 2 Overview
The second phase of engagement for the County Road E and
Old Snelling Intersection provided an opportunity to update the
public and stakeholders on project activities including
completed analyses and alternatives. This phase included a
virtual open house with a live presentation and question and
answer session with the project team and an online survey.
The presentation was also recorded and available on the
project webpage following the meeting for those who couldn’t
attend the meeting.
The following pages provide a summary of the input received
through the Q&A session and survey. Overall, similar themes
emerged from both input methods, including:
• Roundabout Alternative: Support of the roundabout alternative
• Traffic Analysis: Questions on the traffic analysis including the cause of backups, future
volumes, and modal count data
• Other Alternatives: Discussion of other alternatives considered, primarily no-build or a traffic
signal
• Bike and Pedestrian Mobility: Questions regarding safety and education for all modes
• Infrastructure: Discussion of utility improvements and intersection lighting
Virutal Open House

Q7: Do you have any questions or comments about the County Road E and Old
Snelling Avenue Intersection design?
Participants provided additional comments regarding the intersection conditions and alternatives to be
considered. Generally, comments focused on a few key themes, including alternatives to be
considered, bicycle and pedestrian movement, general considerations or project characteristics,
cost, general comments, local access needs, and vehicular movement. The comments are
summarized below.
Alternatives
As a frequent driver through the intersection, the turning movements are awkward,
particularly with cross traffic. A roundabout is the solution
As an area resident, the need to redesign the intersection is unclear as backups are
only common when I-35W backs up. No change is needed.
Travel patterns will change in terms of the gaps created in a roundabout versus signal
versus all-way stop
Desires expressed to see other roundabout examples in similar scenarios
Keep as is, works fine
Bicycle &
Pedestrians
Maps show movement patterns well but is unclear on how vehicles yield to peds.
Bike paths/sidewalks should be considered on both side of Lake Johanna.
Concerns of sight lines and the ability for children to cross
Questions regarding the relationship to the Lake Johanna Trail Study and confirmation
of improved safety for bikes and peds.
General
Considerations
The topography within the area is a challenge for sight distances and nearby driveways.
Questions poised about the project need and frequency of backups and serious
accidents. Additional concerns of encouraging more traffic in neighborhood.
Concerns about water runoff and stormwater management.
Considerations of the regional benefit and neighborhood benefit should be included.
Comments on how the project connects to other city and county projects
Safety Other design options presented to improve safety (e.g., closing the southern exit of
Lindey’s, additional signage)
Intersection
Geometry
The current intersection geometry is confusing.
Concerns of the existing topography and ability to build a roundabout that is typically
constructed on a flat surface. Topography may cause issues with winter driving and
higher speeds.
Cost
Are alternatives considered that are less costly than a roundabout.
Maintenance costs must be considered.
Questions of spending money on an intersection with few problems
General
Comment
Speed enforcement is needed within the study area.
Concerns of other dangerous intersections in the area raised (e.g., Lake Johanna Blvd
and Siems Ct)
Comments of thanks for the study and investment
Local Access Can the roundabout alternative be modified for less impacts to Lindey’s?
Concerns with changes in access to Lindey’s and the park
Vehicular
Movement
How does the roundabout handle emergency vehicle movements (i.e., a place to pull
over)
Concerns about turning movements from Oak Avenue with no gaps as a result of the
roundabouts
9
Concerns with making turning movements from side streets with lack of gaps.
Concerns of backups within the roundabout for emergency vehicles and as a result of
larger backups.
The roundabout will change headlight patterns into adjacent properties
The discussion of existing and future traffic movements should highlight the number of
times traffic backs up, not the number of cars that go through the intersection

questions asked…
Open House Summary
9
Q1: Why is this project needed?
•Traffic volumes at the intersection currently warrant a traffic signal or roundabout (consistent with 2018 study)
•Five crashes have been reported in the past 5 years
•Lack of adequate ped/bike accommodations
•Users often experience congestion, delays and crosswalk challenges
•Pavement is in poor condition
•Some public utilities are old and undersized and in need of repair or replacement

Q2: What options were considered?
All-Way -Stop Traffic Signal Roundabout
Open House Summary
11
Q3: Why is a Roundabout being
recommended at this location?
•A small urban roundabout
would be the best option to
provide long-term congestion
relief and improved safety
•All approaches have similar
traffic volumes
•The roundabout provides the
best flexibility in minimizing
delays under low (no waiting
for red lights or stop sign) and
high-volume conditions
•Fits well within available ROW

Q4: How does a Roundabout compare to
the All-Way -Stop (AWS) at this location?
•An AWS is an appropriate device under certain conditions, but provides the least amount of capacity and operational flexibility
•With small fluctuations in peak hour traffic, the AWS can operate at an acceptable level (LOS B/C), but a roundabout will operate at a higher level (LOS A/B)
•A roundabout provides better performance than an AWS by providing approximately 33% more capacity
•AWS release traffic at uniform intervals typically too small for vehicles to get into the traffic stream, while roundabouts allow a slower free flow creating more opportunities for downstream driveways and streets
Open House Summary
15
Q5: How does a Roundabout compare to a
Traffic Signal at this location?
•Under the volumes at the intersection, the roundabout
outperforms the traffic signal under peak hour and off-peak
conditions, as drivers/peds would have to wait for red lights
•Roundabouts have several advantages over both traffic
signals and stop signs, including:
–The entry curves slow traffic so entering and exiting are
easier and more efficient
–Fewer injury crashes and fatalities (no “t-bone” or head-on
crashes)
–Improved pedestrian safety (low speeds, fewer lanes to
cross, minimal delays, traffic from only one direction)
–Less vehicle delay and pollution (no waiting at red lights,
complete stops are not usually necessary)
Open House Summary
16
Q6: Tell me more about how pedestrians
use a Roundabout?
•Compared to traditional intersections, roundabouts typically offer the following safety benefits and features for pedestrians:
–Lower motor vehicle speeds and increased yielding behavior
–Fewer conflict points
–Higher visibility of pedestrians in the crosswalk
–Shorter wait time for pedestrians to cross than at signalized intersections
–Lower exposure to motor vehicles because of the shortened crossing distance
–Simpler crossing due to the splitter islands, which provide mid-crossing refuge and allow the pedestrian to focus on traffic from one direction at a time
Open House Summary
17
Q7: How does a Roundabout compare to
the other options in terms of cost?
•Initial construction costs are typically higher for a roundabout over a traffic signal
•However, a roundabout has lower long-term maintenance and electricity costs over a traffic signal
•This particular roundabout would have minimal impact to private property which helps keep project costs down
Open House Summary
18
Q8: What happens if we do nothing?
•Missed opportunity to improve
this intersection for all users
•The all-way-stop would remain
in-place indefinitely
•If traffic congestion increases,
as expected, the intersection will
operate poorly
•This will also result in longer
traffic backups that cause delay,
frustration, and block driveways

AGENDA ITEM – 1C
MEMORANDUM
DATE: March 21, 2022
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
Dave Perrault, City Administrator
FROM: Gayle Bauman, Finance Director
SUBJECT: Discussion on American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) Funds
Budgeted Amount: Actual Amount: Funding Source:
N/A N/A N/A
Council Should Consider
Council should consider discussing their priorities regarding the American Rescue Plan funds. The
current amount allocated to Arden Hills is $1,123,530. 50% was received in 2021, with the
remaining funds coming in 2022.
Background
The $1.9 trillion American Rescue Plan (ARP) infuses $350 billion into local governments,
easing the immediate financial trauma facing most every community across the country, and
providing options to overcome shortfalls and simultaneously rebuild for a stronger, more
sustainable future.
Eligible uses of the funds include
• Support public health expenditures, by funding COVID-19 mitigation efforts, medical
expenses, behavioral healthcare, and certain public health and safety staff;
• Address negative economic impacts caused by the public health emergency, including
economic harms to workers, households, small businesses, impacted industries, and the public
sector;
• Replace lost public sector revenue, using this funding to provide government services to the
extent of the reduction in revenue experienced due to the pandemic;
• Provide premium pay for essential workers, offering additional support to those who have
borne and will bear the greatest health risks because of their service in critical infrastructure
sectors; and,
Page 2 of 3
• Invest in water, sewer, and broadband infrastructure, making necessary investments to
improve access to clean drinking water, support vital wastewater and stormwater
infrastructure, and to expand access to broadband internet.
One-time funds
These funds should be directed toward one-time priorities and not programs or policies that will
continue to need funding into the future. With the temporary nature of ARPA funds:
• Care should be taken to avoid creating new programs or add-ons to existing programs that
require an ongoing financial commitment.
• Use of ARPA funds to cover operating deficits caused by COVID-19 should be considered
temporary and additional budget restraint may be necessary to achieve/maintain structural
balance in future budgets.
• Investment in critical infrastructure is particularly well suited use of ARPA funds because it is
a non-recurring expenditure that can be targeted to strategically important long- term assets that
provide benefits over many years. However, care should be taken to assess any on-going
operating costs that may be associated with the project.
Timeline
• Cost must be incurred beginning on or after March 3, 2021 (with the exception of premium
pay);
• Costs must be incurred or obligated (orders placed for property and services, contracts and sub-
awards made, and similar transactions that require payment) by December 31, 2024;
• End of performance period is December 31, 2026 (allows for projects obligated at December
31, 2024 to be completed).
Discussion
Mayor Grant, Councilmember Holden and Finance Director Bauman met in July 2021, to start
developing a list of items that meet the eligibility requirements and bring the greatest benefit to the
City. The discussion centered on utility projects (Sewer Lining, Storm Water and Water Meters)
and other capital projects (Streets and Parks), trying to focus on items not currently included in the
CIP (i.e., dog park shelter). Investment in critical infrastructure is a particularly well suited use of
ARPA funds because it is a non-recurring expenditure that can be targeted to strategically important
long-term assets that provide benefits over many years.
List being developed for use of funds
Sewer lining – approximately $200,000
Storm water projects – multiple projects will be needed in the coming years.
Water meter replacement – estimated cost of at least $1,200,000
Dog park shelter
Street improvement projects
Cable upgrades
Page 3 of 3
Based on an article published in the Star Tribune on 03/13/2022, an informal survey of four dozen
Twin Cities suburbs shows that many are using ARPA funds on sewer and water infrastructure
projects, fire department updates, community and sport center projects, and technology and
software needs. One city noted that using ARPA funds on water and sewer projects means the city
won’t have to bond for future improvements and can keep utility costs down – which affects all
property owners. Another city noted that the council wanted to focus on project that would not
have been able to be done but for the ARPA funds.
Staff is looking for preliminary direction on how Council would like us to prioritize spending the
funds. Following preliminary direction from the City Council, Staff will bring back a formalized
plan for Council to consider and approve.

A. Star Tribune article 03/13/2022
More than $500 million in American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds will
go to Minnesota cities this year, on top of $510 million in 2021 — a federal
windfall that suburban officials predict they'll never see again.
An informal survey of four dozen Twin Cities suburbs shows that many are
using ARPA funds on sewer and water infrastructure projects, fire
department updates, community and sports center projects, and
technology and software needs.
"This is the first time that I've experienced this kind of level of federal
financial aid to cities," said Edina City Manager Scott Neal. "This is an
incredible opportunity and I think we have to be careful with it."
ARPA funds can be used to mitigate the public health costs and economic
hit of COVID, boost pay for essential workers and replenish revenue lost as
a result of COVID, said Lisa Sova, assistant director of finance for the
League of Minnesota Cities. But they can also cover costs for infrastructure
such as water, sewer and broadband, "It's a great way to address those
infrastructue isues that evey city struggles with," she said.
The funds can't be used to replenish reserve funds, pay down debt, create
a rainy day fund, bolster pensions or pay for court judgments or
settlements. And ARPA money isn't like the federal money distributed in
2020 under the CARES (Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security)
Act to combat COVID-related expenses, which had to be spent quickly,
Sova said.
"The American Rescue Plan Act funding feels very different. It's more of a
deliberate, thoughtful type of funding looking to address the long-term
impacts that cities have felt as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic," Sova
said.
East Bethel, South St. Paul and Cottage Grove — which will receive $1.2
million, $2.2 million and $3.9 million from ARPA, respectively — plan to
fund sewer and water infrastructure projects. Lakeville, which will receive
$5.3 million, will put money toward a new fire truck, and Little Canada,
with $1.1 million, anticipates doing the same.
To a lesser extent, cities have spent money — or plan to spend it — on
broadband, public safety, road projects and park improvements.
And a handful of cities haven't spent any of their ARPA money because it
carries a longer shelf life than CARES funds. They're waiting to use the
funds after learning they have until Dec. 31, 2024, to do so, and even
longer — until Dec. 31, 2026 — if it's committed to a specific project.
Metro cities receive millions in ARPA funding
These cities in the Twin Cities metro area received millions through the
American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARPA), also referred to as the COVID-19
Stimulus Package or American Rescue Plan.

Cities can use their ARPA funds to replace lost revenue of up to $10
million and spend it on public services like road projects, water, sewer,
health services, administration, police and fire and environmental
remediation.
Savage officials hired a temporary staffer for $20,000 to survey residents
on how to spend the city's ARPA funds of $3.53 million, City
Administrator Brad Larson said. The staffer attended community events
and met with businesses and community groups, even setting up shop at a
grocery store, and will now write guidelines for programs created by the
funding.
Larson said the City Council last week approved allocating the money for
mental health support, affordable housing programs, a park irrigation
project, small business assistance and expanding the local library's front
meeting room.
"One of the key messages we heard from the [city] council was that they
want to focus on projects that we would not been able to have done but for
the ARPA funds," he said.
St. Louis Park so far has used little of its $2.57 million ARPA allocation,
only recently spending $5,600 on masks and $76,000 on gift cards to local
restaurants as vaccination incentives. City officials are hosting planning
sessions to figure out how to spend the rest, City Manager Kim Keller said,
whether on nonprofit proposals, infrastructure projects or keeping down
future levy increases.
"There's a piece of wanting to hold back a little bit to better understand
what other dollars are flowing, so that we can best fill those gaps for the
community," Keller said. While CARES Act dollars went out immediately
for rent and food assistance and to cover revenue losses, she said, "With
these dollars, we're wanting to dedicate to more kind of chronic issues."
Stillwater will have $2.1 million in ARPA funds with this year's allocation,
but nothing has been spent. City Council Member David Junker said that
the spending question has come up at several council meetings but that
there's no plan yet. City leaders want to keep their options open and know
that they have until the end of 2024 to decide.
"We're not really throwing anything on the table," he said.
Keeping the water running
Some cities have taken a practical approach to spending. Fridley used its
first ARPA allocation, $1.52 million, to upgrade and repair its water
distribution system and wastewater and storm water infrastructure, said
Public Works Director Jim Kosluchar. Over the next three years, Fridley
hopes to use the next allocation of $1.52 million to improve security at
water treatment plants, rebuild its water distribution system, and on
sanitary sewer and water quality projects.
"It's not glorious, but we want to keep things running smoothly,"
Kosluchar said, noting that some city utility lines are approaching 70 years
old. Using ARPA funding means the city won't have to bond for future
improvements and can keep utility costs down, he said. "Everybody will
save something."
In Eagan, "lost revenue has really been the key component" in deciding
how to spend the city's ARPA funds, said Finance Director Josh Feldman.
Eagan so far has earmarked about $4 million of its $6.9 million ARPA
funds for specific purposes, including $1.4 million to replace lost revenue
from recreational assets like Cascade Bay water park, the civic arena and
the community center. City officials plan to spend about $100,000 on a
new well at Blackhawk Park and more than $800,000 on an improved
HVAC system at the community center.
Edina officials got creative, according to Neal. While 70% of CARES Act
funds were spent on internal costs and budget shortfalls, city leaders
wanted to spend most of its $5 million in ARPA funding out in the
community.
The city allocated $400,000 to a school district program, the Edina
Education Fund's Heal Together Campaign, and a new program to plant
100,000 trees. Edina also worked with Comcast to extend low-cost
broadband service to senior citizens on limited incomes, a program that
registered about 150 households.
"We tried to get this money into the hands of people who needed it,
whether into the hands of mental health professions or VEAP [Veterans'
Educational Assistance Program] so they could do more food assistance,"
Neal said.
Neal acknowledged that Edina had the ability to spend ARPA funds in the
community because city finances have remained healthy. City staffers will
solicit more ideas from residents on how to spend the $2.46 million ARPA
allocation they expect this spring, he said.

Council Should Consider
The City Council is requested to review and discuss the anticipated Minnesota Department of
Corrections Institution Community Work Crew (ICWC) work plan for 2022.
Background/Discussion
In May 2019, the City entered into a one-year contract with the Minnesota Department of
Corrections to participate in the Institution Community Work Crew (ICWC) program. The
program provided a work crew consisting of a crew leader and up to ten crewmembers
(dependent on Covid restrictions) for up to ten hours per day to complete predetermined work
plans. With the current contract, work dates are available on Friday, Saturday and Sunday at a
cost of $85 per hour. There is another contract option to obtain a crew “full-time” Monday-
Thursday but this would require them to be scheduled for an entire year. There is also a waiting
list for that option as the ICWC crews are limited.
ICWC crews have been utilized to complete buckthorn removal in several Parks, they’ve also
performed debris/sediment removal, ditch maintenance, slope stabilization, rain garden
maintenance, and performed landscape maintenance at City Hall, Highway 96 median areas and
the gateway sign on New Brighton Road.
The City Administrator, Public Works Director and the Public Works Superintendent met with
the ICWC Supervisor to discuss the upcoming work plan and the crew’s abilities on various
types of projects. With our current contract, 1-day projects are ideal. If projects were to require

several days of labor, they would essentially take several weeks to complete due to how the
crews are scheduled.
A preliminary 2022 ICWC work plan is provided as Attachment A. This work plan will be
shared with ICWC but can be modified during the 2022 contract term based on City Council
priorities and availability of ICWC work crews. The current contract expires April 30, 2022,
once the new contract is received it will be brought through Council for approval.

SUBJECT: 2022 Street Maintenance Plan – Coon Rapids JPA
Budgeted Amount: Actual Amount: Funding Source:
$220,000 $ TBD Street maintenance operating budget
Council Should Consider
Council should consider direction with the initial proposed or revised 2022 Street Maintenance
Plan.
Background/Discussion
In 2005, a Joint Powers Agreement (JPA) for Traffic Markings, Street Sweeping, Crack Sealing,
Screening, and Seal Coating was executed by the cities of Coon Rapids, Andover, Brooklyn
Center, Columbia Heights, and Fridley. Since 2005, six additional cities have joined the joint
powers agreement (Ham Lake, East Bethel, Anoka, Mahtomedi, Circle Pines and Mounds
View). On December 11, 2017, the City Council authorized an amendment to the JPA to include
the City of Arden Hills.
On March 11, 2022, Coon Rapids opened the project bids. Staff took the bid unit prices to
calculate the actual costs.
Attachment A shows the initial proposed 2022 Street Maintenance Plan which includes
preservation activities such as seal coat, fog seal and crack seal. The original estimate before the
bid was $210,254. After bids were opened, the actual costs associated with this work is
$253,475.37. This cost does not include the large area patching work that will need to be
completed by our Public Works staff in these same areas.
Page 2 of 2
This cost exceeded the budgeted amount for the project so staff revised the plan as can be seen in
Attachment B. The primary revision was to remove the Chatham neighborhood from this year’s
plan and shift it to 2023. The costs associated with the revised plan are $211,905.27.
Additional costs to consider is the large area patching that will be done by our Public Works
Maintenance Workers. Costs include bituminous material, tack oil material, milling operations
and other equipment rentals. Staff is currently inspecting and estimating quantities to determine
project costs for these operations.
Budget Impact
All elements of the proposed 2022 Street Maintenance plan will be covered by the street
maintenance operating budget of $220,000. Historical data for this budget is as follows:

DATE: March 21, 2022
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
Dave Perrault, City Administrator
FROM: David Swearingen, P.E. Public Works Director / City Engineer
SUBJECT: Emerald Ash Borer Management Plan Discussion
Budgeted Amount: Actual Amount: Funding Source:
N/A N/A N/A
Council Should Consider
• Council should consider the revisions of the Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) Management
Plan.
• Council should also consider contracting with Rainbow Tree Care to provide a discount
to residents to treat existing ash trees on private property.
Background
Refer to Attachment A, Emerald Ash Borer Management Plan, for the background and history of
EAB.
In 2016 and 2018, the City of Arden Hills treated a list of 37 trees with injected insecticide. The
insecticide is 99% effective when injected into healthy Ash trees and will protect for 2 growing
seasons. In 2021, the City treated 46 ash trees within public property for a total of $3,895 and
will continue to treat these trees every other year as needed.
On August 16, 2021 at the Council Work Session, staff brought this topic up for discussion to
review the City’s current adopted Emerald Ash Borer Management Plan (2012) and receive
feedback from Council if revisions to the plan were desired to better correlate with actions the
City is taking on ash trees. Staff took the feedback from that Work Session and updated the plan
which can be reviewed in Attachment A. Revisions included updates to more current information
about EAB but mainly updates to the action the City is taking to respond to EAB.
Page 2 of 2
At the February 22, 2022 Work Session, Council directed staff to retrieve a previous contract
that included a discount to Arden Hills residents. This can be seen in Attachment C. Staff was
also directed to bring back the quotes gathered for the treatment work contracted in 2021. This
can be seen in Attachment D.
Discussion
The intention of this discussion is to review the updated EAB Management Plan and provide an
opportunity for Council feedback. Once staff has direction from Council on the plan, it will be
brought forward at a regular meeting to formally adopt.
Currently, the City does not directly provide assistance or programs to residents related to
diseased tree control. The City promotes Friends of the Parks and Trails Annual Tree Sale but, in
2020 and 2021, that program was suspended due to challenges from Covid, and after review of
their website, there is no information shown for 2022. In 2021, the City contracted with Rainbow
Tree Care to treat the City owned ash trees. Staff inquired if they provide services at a discount
to residents to which they replied they offer approximately 30% off their standard rate when
partnered with a City. After further discussion with Rainbow Tree Care, they stated their list
pricing is $9.20 per inch. They can offer $6.70 per inch for residents and $5 for the city in 2022
(cities get an even larger discount).
Attachment C is a copy of their professional services agreement. Staff is requesting direction
from Council if there is interest in this program.

Emerald Ash Borer Management Plan
Background
Emerald ash borer (EAB), Agrilus planipennis Fairmaire, is an exotic beetle that was discovered
in southeastern Michigan near Detroit in the summer of 2002. The adult beetles nibble on ash
foliage but cause little damage. The larvae (the immature stage) feed on the inner bark of ash
trees, disrupting the tree's ability to transport water and nutrients. Emerald ash borer probably
arrived in the United States on solid wood packing material carried in cargo ships or airplanes
originating in its native Asia. Without any natural predators or controls in North America the
insect has spread to, at least, 35 states and 5 Canadian provinces.
EAB adults can fly at least a half mile from the tree when they emerge. However, new
infestations are most often created when people transport infested nursery ash trees, logs or
firewood into uninfested areas. Transportation of firewood has been regulated to reduce the
spread of EAB. Ramsey County is a quarantine area, which prohibits the transportation of ash
wood outside the County. The Minnesota Department of Agriculture is responsible for
quarantine enforcement and penalties.
Signs and Symptoms
Signs and symptoms of EAB include:
• Bark splitting
o Vertical fissures on bark
o Galleries exposed under bark split
• Serpentine galleries and “D” shaped exit holes
• The presence of EAB or larvae.
o Adult – Bright, metallic green/ ½ inch long, flattened back
o Larva – Creamy white, legless
• Canopy dieback
o Begins in top one-third of canopy
o Progresses until tree is bare
• Increased woodpecker activity.
• Sprouting of epicormic shoots from the base of the tree
Current EAB situation
St. Paul and Falcon Heights confirmed EAB discovery in May of 2009. The City of Shoreview
confirmed EAB discovery in the vicinity of County Road I and Schutta Road in July of 2011.
How these trees became infested is not known, though it is worth noting that the trees are only a
half mile from interstate highway 35W and in other states the principal spread of EAB has been
along travel corridors.
Emerald Ash Borer Management Plan – City of Arden Hills Page 2
Adopted by the City Council on Month day, 2022
Analysis of the infestation showed that the EAB had been present for 3-4 years, which is
consistent with the insect’s path of destruction. Symptoms are slow to appear and once EAB is
actually found, it is estimated that it has already been present for 3-5 years. It is believed that the
emerald ash borer was first detected in Arden Hills in 2014 and, since then, its population has
continued to multiply and spread. It is estimated that as much as 12.3% of Arden Hills’ urban
forest is compiled of ash trees based on a Minnesota Department of Natural Resources survey
(Minnesota Department of Natural Resources 2010 Community Tree Survey. Survey of front yard and
street trees in residential and commercial sampling areas)
To date, North American communities have not been successful in eradicating EAB once found.
EAB typically builds in population and eventually infests and kills all variety of ash trees.
Resident Education
Resident education and communication are key components of managing the impact of the EAB,
especially as more information becomes available. Public information is available to residents
through the City’s website, newsletters, and available at City Hall. Residents can also find
information about EAB management on the website for the Minnesota Department of
Agriculture: https://www.mda.state.mn.us/emerald-ash-borer-management-guidelines
Homeowners may treat their private trees, provided they use a licensed treatment contractor who
adheres to the City’s standards to protect surface and ground water.
Mitigation
Although it is not possible to stop the spread of invasive species, like the Emerald Ash Borer, the
City of Arden Hills’ EAB Management Plan is designed to help manage the impacts. The City’s
mitigation of EAB will be similar to the policy and intent of Dutch Elm and Oak Wilt Disease,
which attempts to control and prevent the spread of these diseases.
The City of Arden Hills has done the following to prepare for the EAB problem:
• Completed an electronic inventory with GIS software of all trees in the ROW along City
streets, parks and trails. This will help the City monitor the condition of ash trees
throughout the City.
• Clarified owner responsibilities for all Right of Way trees abutting a City road. These
changes were done with the amendment of Chapter 3 of the City Code in October of
2011.
• Updated the City’s Tree and Vegetation Ordinance, Chapter 7 to add ash trees to the
diseased trees that must be removed to prevent the spread of the disease. This ordinance
Emerald Ash Borer Management Plan – City of Arden Hills Page 3
Adopted by the City Council on Month day, 2022
permits the City to enter private property for inspection, order the removal of diseased
trees and abate the nuisance upon non-compliance of property owners.
• The City website includes general information for residents as well as the appropriate
steps to take if EAB is suspected in one or more of their trees. The City has handouts
from the Minnesota Department of Resources available at City Hall.
The City of Arden Hills will take the following actions:
• The City will monitor ash trees throughout the City for EAB and in the event EAB is
discovered, staff will utilize Chapter 7, section 710 – Protection of shade trees from the
City Code to prevent the spread of the disease. As in the case of Oak Wilt and Dutch
Elm, this ordinance allows the City to enter private property for inspection of ash trees,
order the removal of diseased trees, and abate the nuisance upon non-compliance of
property owners.
• The City has inventoried all significant ash trees located on public property and
continuously monitors their health. Trees that are 8-inches in diameter or greater and
considered fair or better health will be treated by injection. Treatment frequency for these
trees is on a two-year cycle and will be continued as long as the tree still indicates fair or
better health
• “Buddy Trees” will be planted next to ash trees that begin showing signs of declining
health and determined to be infested with EAB. Once EAB takes hold of a tree, it is
inevitable that the tree will die. The “Buddy Tree” will provide an overlap period of time
where it will grow before the existing tree must be removed.
• Once an ash tree is determined to be in poor health the City will begin removal of the tree
on public property. These ash trees could be located within City parks or in boulevard
areas. No significant pruning or methods to save a declining ash tree will be attempted.
The City will remove the tree at that time. All ash trees that are removed will be
replaced.
Staff will schedule removal of declining ash trees in the fall. The most critical period for
movement of confirmed EAB ash trees is May-July. This is the period when adult
beetles emerge from trees, begin feeding on foliage, and move to more trees to lay their
eggs. During this time it is best to leave these trees standing and not chance the spread of
EAB by transporting beetle-infested wood to other areas. The City will follow the
Minnesota Department of Agriculture’s regulations for handling ash wood removal
• There are currently two methods of tree treatments being offered in the marketplace;
drenching the soil with chemicals and injecting the chemical into the tree. The City
Emerald Ash Borer Management Plan – City of Arden Hills Page 4
Adopted by the City Council on Month day, 2022
strongly discourages the use of soil drench insecticides due to potential to pollute water
and negatively impact wildlife. The City strongly encourages residents to utilize a
certified arborist to treat trees.
o The City will permit residents to use chemical treatments on private ash trees,
given the following:
a. Private contractors are to use only the approved trunk injection method.
b. The City strongly encourages residents to utilize tree contractors that are
bonded, insured, and state licensed to apply commercial tree chemicals.
• The City will publicize the Minnesota Department of Agriculture’s regulations for
handling ash wood removal. https://www.mda.state.mn.us/eab
• In an effort to encourage reforestation of private properties, the City will promote
Ramsey County’s Friends of the Parks annual tree sale and will pursue other EAB
programs that are available.
• The City will track the spread of EAB in surrounding communities in conjunction with
the Department of Agriculture.

symptoms, firewood requirements, and insecticide options. These will be listed on the City’s
website and updated as needed.

Emerald Ash Borer Management Plan
Background
Emerald ash borer (EAB), Agrilus planipennis Fairmaire, is an exotic beetle that was discovered
in southeastern Michigan near Detroit in the summer of 2002. The adult beetles nibble on ash
foliage but cause little damage. The larvae (the immature stage) feed on the inner bark of ash
trees, disrupting the tree's ability to transport water and nutrients. Emerald ash borer probably
arrived in the United States on solid wood packing material carried in cargo ships or airplanes
originating in its native Asia. Without any natural predators or controls in North America the
insect has spread to 13 states and two Canadian provinces.
EAB adults can fly at least a half mile from the tree when they emerge. However, new
infestations are most often created when people transport infested nursery ash trees, logs or
firewood into uninfested areas. Transportation of firewood has been regulated to reduce the
spread of EAB. Ramsey County is a quarantine area, which prohibits the transportation of ash
wood outside the County. The Minnesota Department of Agriculture is responsible for
quarantine enforcement and penalties.
Signs and Symptoms
Signs and symptoms of EAB include:
• Bark splitting
o Vertical fissures on bark
o Galleries exposed under bark split
• Serpentine galleries and “D” shaped exit holes
• The presence of EAB or larvae.
o Adult – Bright, metallic green/ ½ inch long, flattened back
o Larva – Creamy white, legless
• Canopy dieback
o Begins in top one-third of canopy
o Progresses until tree is bare
• Increased woodpecker activity.
• Sprouting of epicormic shoots from the base of the tree
Current EAB situation
St. Paul and Falcon Heights confirmed EAB discovery in May of 2009. The City of Shoreview
confirmed EAB discovery in the vicinity of County Road I and Schutta Road in July of 2011.
The Department of Agriculture has since identified 11 trees in this neighborhood with confirmed
EAB and several that are suspected and being monitored. How these trees became infested is
Emerald Ash Borer Management Plan – City of Arden Hills Page 2
Adopted by the City Council on July 30, 2012
not known, though it is worth noting that the trees are only a half mile from interstate highway
35W and in other states the principal spread of EAB has been along travel corridors.
Analysis of the infestation showed that the EAB had been present for 3-4 years, which is
consistent with the insect’s path of destruction. Symptoms are slow to appear and once EAB is
actually found, it is estimated that it has already been present for 3-5 years. It is difficult to
determine when EAB will reach Arden Hills. It is estimated that as much as 12.3% of Arden
Hills’ urban forest is compiled of ash trees based on a Minnesota Department of Natural
Resources survey (Minnesota Department of Natural Resources 2010 Community Tree Survey. Survey
of front yard and street trees in residential and commercial sampling areas)
To date, North American communities have not been successful in eradicating EAB once found.
EAB typically builds in population and eventually infests and kills all variety of ash trees.
Resident Education
Resident education and communication are key components of managing the impact of the EAB,
especially as more information becomes available. Public information is available to residents

• The City will begin some removal of declining ash trees on public property, even when
EAB has not yet been identified. These ash trees could be located within City parks or in
boulevard areas. No significant pruning or methods to save a declining ash tree will be
attempted. The City will remove the tree at that time. The decision to replace a tree
that is removed will be on a case to case scenario. The reasons for preemptive removal
of ash trees include:
o Removing declining trees before they are infested with EAB;
o Allowing for reforestation with other species of trees; and
o Spreading the cost of tree removal over a longer period of time.
Staff will schedule removal of declining ash trees in the fall. The most critical period for
movement of confirmed EAB ash trees is May-July. This is the period when adult

drenching the soil with chemicals and injecting the chemical into the tree. The City
strongly discourages the use of soil drench insecticides due to potential to pollute water
and negatively impact wildlife. Due to the high cost of reoccurring treatments and the
long-term effects of chemical treatments on ash trees, water resources, and the
environment, the City has no plans to chemically treat public trees. The City strongly
encourages residents to utilize a certified arborist to treat trees.
o The City will permit residents to use chemical treatments on private ash trees,
given the following:
a. Private contractors are to use only the approved trunk injection method.

• The City will publicize the Minnesota Department of Agriculture’s regulations for
handling ash wood removal. Ramsey County is currently under a quarantine which
prohibits the transportation of wood outside of the County. From September 15th to May
1st EAB-infested trees can be removed and transported only within the quarantine area, so
long as they are promptly chipped to the required dimensions, less than 1”x1”x1”. Non-
infested EAB trees can be removed from September 15th to May 1st using the normal
process of transporting un-chipped wood to the Ramsey County Yard Waste Site.
• In an effort to encourage reforestation of private properties, the City will promote
Ramsey County’s Friends of the Parks annual tree sale.
• The City will track the spread of EAB in surrounding communities in conjunction with
the Department of Agriculture.

Attachment A—Scope of Services
Ash Tree Injection Services to the City of Arden Hills
Project Understanding
The Emerald Ash Borer (EAB) threatens the lives of the thousands of ash trees located in the
City of Arden Hills (the “City”).
As the City continues to prepare for this devastating infestation and infection, the City has
agreed to enter a contract with Contractor to provide tree injection services for ash trees (“ash
injections” or the “Work”) within two separate areas: City-owned property and private property
as specified herein (the “Project”).
Project Goals
• Protect ash trees from emerald ash borer infestation on City-owned properties, including
parks. Treatments of City-owned trees will begin after City staff makes the decision to begin
treatments.
• Provide a bulk discount program to all private property owners within the City of Arden Hills
to encourage residents to proactively inject their ash trees in order to help preserve the City’s
tree canopy and the accompanying economic and environmental benefits.
Project Areas
Area 1- City property
Ash trees on City property identified by the City as trees to receive injection treatments will
begin after staff has made the decision to proceed with such Work. Unless City staff directs
otherwise, all ash injections must be completed between June 1st and September 30th of each
year, or before fall leaf color, whichever occurs sooner.
Area 2 – Private property
Homeowners will contact Contractor directly to initiate an inspection, receive a quote and
provide permission to perform the Work. Contractor will inspect the ash trees on private
property and determine whether they are appropriate for treatment and all invoices will be
submitted directly to the homeowner, and the City shall have no liability for or involvement in
the provision of such Work. All ash injections must be completed between June 1st and
September 30th of each year or before fall leaf color, whichever occurs sooner.
Project Period and Completion Dates
The tree injection period will run from approximately June 1st—September 30th of each year.
Contractor may reserve the right to group tree injections based on geographic proximity within
the injection period in order to achieve the efficiency needed to provide a discounted rate.
Injections will occur on trees that have fully expanded leaves and have not reached fall
senescence (fall leaf color). The city forester or person designated by the City Manager reserves
the right to extend or limit the time period based on seasonal conditions.
