Page 1 of 1 �-ARZEN HILLS Approved: November 14, 2022 CITY OF ARDEN HILLS, MINNESOTA CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION OCTOBER 17, 2022 5:00 P.M. - ARDEN HILLS CITY HALL CALL TO ORDER/ROLL CALL [DRAFT Pursuant to due call and notice thereof, Mayor Grant called to order the City Council Work Session at 5:00 p.m. Present: Mayor David Grant, Councilmembers Brenda Holden, Fran Holmes, Steve Scott and David Radziej Absent: None Also present: City Administrator Dave Perrault, Public Works Director/City Engineer David Swearingen, Community Development Director Jessica Jagoe, Deputy City Clerk Jolene Trauba, Residents Ahmed Ali, Katie Bach, Nate Cmiel and Dave Cmiel, and President of Norcutt Homes Owen Norcutt 1. AGENDA ITEMS A. Planning Case 22-019 — 3588 Ridgewood Road Concept Plan Review Mr. Ali explained that he would like to ask for a variance to have the lot entrance on Old Snelling Avenue instead of Ridgewood Road because of the elevation of the lot, and reduced setbacks. Mr. Norcutt stated the lot is irregular shaped and has a drastic slope. By having the driveway on Old Snelling, they could possibly get a flat area in the back toward Ridgewood Road. He felt access off of Old Snelling would be safer. Discussion ensued regarding the possible location of the home and setbacks. Mr. Norcutt added that the elevation to Ridgewood Road was about 20 feet, the driveway would have to have a curve, and there would have to be a retaining wall. Council agreed that access off of Old Snelling would be acceptable. Mayor Grant said he was OK moving the house to the north to give more space along the side yard to the south. Councilmember Holden noted that after looking at the properties next door she was OK with the side setbacks proposed. ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION — OCTOBER 17, 2022 2 Community Development Director Jagoe stated she would talk to the Building Official about the address. In preliminary analysis staff had considered Ridgewood as the front yard and Old Snelling as the rear. Public Works Director/City Engineer Swearingen explained that if the driveway goes out onto Old Snelling that would be connecting into the new construction. They would have to maintain ADA on the sidewalk and the curb cut, and they would most likely require a full width patch. He also noted there are no utilities currently extended to the lot and those connections would be from Ridgewood Road. Discussion continued regarding the home location. Council agreed they would suggest consideration of Mr. Ali with moving the home slightly uphill (north) to gain more room despite the setbacks potentially not being met. Community Development Director Jagoe said the applicant would submit changes before the Planning Commission meeting. B. Planning Case 22-020 —1861 W Highway 96 Concept Plan Review Community Development Director Jagoe said the applicants are seeking feedback in advance of a future application for a variance on a concept plan to demo the house that is currently at the subject property and building a new single-family home. The lot is considered non -conforming because of the front yard setback due to additional right of way acquisitions over time. They may also need a variance from ordinary high water in the rear of the yard as measured from the shoreline, due to the requirement of the setback being on average with the adjacent parcels. Ms. Bach presented a PowerPoint outlining the historical changes to the property lines due to highway expansions, the buildable area of the lot and proposed new home placement, and comparison of the proposed new home setback to neighboring homes. She stated they would like to preserve as many trees as possible. Councilmember Holden said she thought the proposal looked good and she had no issues. Councilmember Radziej and Mayor Grant agreed. Mayor Grant felt that the City owes them some flexibility due to the easement changes. Councilmember Holmes said her only concern would be the house impeding on the neighbor's view. Councilmember Radziej encouraged them to look into incentives for building an energy efficient home. Ms. Bach said they will finalize plans to be presented to the Planning Commission. ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION — OCTOBER 17, 2022 C. Floral Park Improvements Discussion Public Works Director/City Engineer Swearingen passed out a rough budget estimate for the project. He stated this is an amendment to the existing contract with HR Green that was brought to Council last year for the hardcourts at Floral Park. That contract is also tied to the Arden Manor project. The amendment would add the overall park improvements. The entire Floral Park project would come to $606,000, including design fees. There are no improvements included to the baseball fields. Included is the park structure, the hardcourt and the trail. Councilmember Holden asked how many trees would be taken down by the tennis courts. Public Works Director/City Engineer Swearingen said no trees will be taken down, but they can cut the roots on the north side so they don't continue to push up the pavement. Councilmember Holden wondered what the plan would be for the large amount of leaves that fall on the court. Public Works Director/City Engineer Swearingen said HR Green will give a preliminary design, get resident and Council feedback and host an open house. If they choose to eliminate some trees and plant elsewhere they could do that. Public Works Director/City Engineer Swearingen reviewed photos of current conditions at the park. He noted the shelter's concrete pad is in good shape and can be reused for the new shelter. Councilmember Holden wondered if there was anything they could add for adults. She was not for the addition of a water source. Public Works Director/City Engineer Swearingen said there is a fire hydrant that extends into the park so they could tap into that line. Councilmember Holmes felt if they put in a water source in Floral Park they should also put one in at the public gardens, and thought they should talk about a policy first. One of the volunteers at the park thought the water barrels were unsightly and caused mosquitoes so they had suggested the hand pump. Councilmember Holden thought they could put some screening around the barrels. Councilmember Scott mentioned there is a small pond in one of the gardens and wondered if they had thought about putting a water feature there, and asked if the courts would be striped for pickleball. Public Works Director/City Engineer Swearingen said he assumed so but that might be determined by resident input. The amenities are flexible at this time. Discussion continued regarding costs of engineering and amenities. ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION — OCTOBER 17, 2022 4 Public Works Director/City Engineer Swearingen said that through the survey they will get a better idea of what the public wants to see in the park, they will pick vendors that supply what is wanted and choose the vendor with the better price for the amenities. Councilmember Scott mentioned a large oak tree in the park that is dead. Public Works Director/City Engineer Swearingen said there are 3 that are dead and Public Works will be removing one or more if they can access them. Councilmember Holden asked if the Arden Hills Foundation might want to provide the grill at the shelter or a second picnic table. Public Works Director/City Engineer Swearingen said for the water source he was envisioning a one -inch copper or PVC line running through the park that would be tied to a spicket head with a safety feature to shut it off. Mayor Grant asked staff to negotiate engineering costs with HR Green. D. Parkshore Exercise Station Trail Loop — Official Name Discussion Public Works Director/City Engineer Swearingen explained that the City is responsible to install a park sign at the new Parkshore exercise loop, and so he'd like to know what they would like to name the trail. PTRC had the idea of a staff coordinated contest at the elementary schools to name the trail. Councilmember Holden noted this is off the beaten track and for seniors. She felt the name needed to be more focused to identify it. She suggested they tell the PTRC to come up with a name associated with the type of park it is and location. Mayor Grant directed staff to have PTRC suggest a name to submit to Council. E. Recreation Programming Update City Administrator Perrault stated there is currently an opening for Recreation Supervisor, there will be seven interviews held. He was happy with the candidates that applied and ideally, someone will start in mid -November. In the meantime, the winter programming guide typically goes out in early to mid -November, and they need to plan a realistic schedule of events. City Administrator Perrault said in 2020-2021 they didn't have ice rink attendants, but had picnic tables and port -a -potties. This past year they had rink attendants but the shelters weren't open to the public. The current issue is the limited number of applicants for the attendant positions, and having someone to oversee and train them. If a Recreation Supervisor is on board by the end of November they could take over these duties, but they'll be learning the job along with the new seasonals. There have been issues with rink attendants previously, such as not locking the buildings, not showing up for shifts, or leaving the rink lights on. Councilmember Holden said she liked the idea of hiring one or two people for four months. ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION — OCTOBER 17, 2022 5 City Administrator Perrault indicated they have a Public Works seasonal in mind that they feel would be a good fit, but the schedule would be evenings and weekends and they aren't sure if he will be willing. He explained it would be a winter seasonal position in the Public Works department. Normally there are between 8-12 rink attendants. They could hire the Public Works seasonal in place of that, and that job would be to unlock and lock the warming houses, turn the lights on and off, keep the rinks clear, and supplement with other Public Works duties. There wouldn't be a person at the rink the entire time it's open, but this person could be a roving rink attendant. Councilmember Holden thought one person wouldn't want to work seven days a week, so they should hire two. City Administrator Perrault said they would like to do this administratively and patchwork it together, but hiring 12 rink attendants was probably not possible. Discussion ensued regarding ways the positions are advertised and the lack of applicants. Councilmember Holmes felt they didn't need an attendant at the warming houses other than to open them and turn on the lights etc. City Administrator Perrault stated that the person they had in mind may not want to work the proposed schedule, but if he agrees they could hire one or two other attendants for the weekends and the Public Works seasonal could cover the evening shift. Councilmember Holden said she thought the most important rinks were at Freeway and Hazelnut parks. Public Works Director/City Engineer Swearingen added that Perry Park was also used often. Councilmember Holden thought the summer playground leaders may be a source for weekend rink attendants. City Administrator Perrault stated the next item to discuss was Recreation programming. Staff reviewed programming and believes they can continue with many of the outside instructor led classes such as fencing, yoga, dance, etc. However, the programming that requires seasonal hiring, training, and oversight presents issues. While they are hopeful to have a Recreation Supervisor on -board by mid -November, they still need to work on the development of programming that starts the beginning of January. This mainly consists of before and after school programming, camps, one-time events like snowshoeing, and ice-skating lessons. If they continue these programs, they would need to start looking for seasonals late October and early November; however, they need to identify and have these programs planned for a Winter Rec Guide. Shoreview is running their Island Lake program and willing to let Arden Hills send people to register with them. He anticipates not holding before and after school programming at Valentine Hills, skating lessons or events such as gingerbread house decorating, letters to Santa, or breakfast with Santa. Councilmember Holmes suggested they follow the same types of programs they did last year. ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION — OCTOBER l 7, 2022 6 City Administrator Perrault said ice skating lessons, volleyball (TBD depending on instructor availability) would not be held, but yoga, fencing, dance, fraud prevention could be held. Councilmember Holden suggested they try to get the ice-skating instructor from last year to come back for the 4-6 year age group and starting January 8. City Administrator Perrault added the guide may only be an insert into the newsletter rather than a regular guide, but there will be a QR code that will take them right to the website to register. F. Council Tracker City Administrator Perrault provided the Council with an update of the Council Tracker. After discussion, the completion date for Trees West of 96 was updated, and International Paper Parking Issue and Public Works Fleet Management Program items were removed. 2. COUNCIL COMMENTS AND STAFF UPDATES Councilmember Holden asked if pickleball striping was done. Public Works Director/City Engineer Swearingen responded the striping was done at Freeway and Hazelnut parks. Councilmember Holden asked if they were going to try to dredge some of the Femwood channel this year. Public Works Director/City Engineer Swearingen said sediment samples had been taken and they should be receiving results soon, which will tell them where they can put the sediment when they remove it. They plan on removing some this year. Councilmember Holden said there are people "moving" their yards into City property with fences, mowing, shrubbery etc. She discussed one property in particular adjacent to Hazelnut trail. Community Development Director Jagoe stated it could be allowed with written permission from the City. Mayor Grant thought if we want it left natural we should tell him to stop mowing. Community Development Director Jagoe asked if they told the property owner to stop mowing but the shrubs remained, would Public Works want to mow around them. Public Works Director/City Engineer Swearingen said he would want to see the exact placement of the shrubs but they would want to match what they are doing along the entire line, which was to mow approximately 5 feet off the pavement. Mayor Grant said the property owner is encroaching on City property by making a hedge fence and planting on City property. ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION — OCTOBER 17, 2022 7 City Administrator Perrault commented that they could send a letter making it clear the plantings are on City property and if they need to be taken down or moved it would be at the homeowner's expense. Mayor Grant said he would like to walk the trail and see the property first. Councilmember Holden said she is seeing more rental properties and there are some cities that only allow a certain number of rentals. She thought they might want to consider finding out the limits. City Administrator Perrault said staff is working to bring a discussion on short-term rentals to Council. Councilmember Scott asked if the parking issues on Grant were still happening. City Administrator Perrault responded that the Sheriff has issued citations the last two weekends, he hasn't had any complaints since then. Councilmember Holmes stated she attended a Ramsey County Legal Government meeting/call where they talked about homelessness and encampments. She thought they might want to have a checklist or policy in the case that it becomes a problem. Mayor Grant asked staff to put that as an item on a future work session. Councilmember Holden wondered if they could have another meeting with Ramsey County about Lake Johanna Boulevard or brainstorm some ideas to give to the County. She would like to see a speed bump or something else for safety. Councilmember Holmes thought they could possibly do some different striping. Mayor Grant suggested they put in a couple of stop signs. Public Works Director/City Engineer Swearingen said the County will not allow a speed bump on a County road. Bollards are a maintenance issue. Mayor Grant said the Council should send ideas to the City Administrator who can compile a list of ideas and share it with the County. Mayor Grant noted there is a cracked bucket swing at Freeway Park. He thanked Public Works for rebuilding a mailbox structure that had been broken during snowplowing operations. Mayor Grant said staff is checking on political signs that have been taken down along Old Highway 10. Community Development Director Jagoe mentioned that Mr. Ali has requested the closing for 3588 Ridgewood Road be pushed back to on or before December 15 to allow time for his variance to be reviewed.

Motion to Approve Resolution 2022-047 for Conditional Use Permit Amendment and Site Plan Review — 1411 Paul Kirkwood Drive — Ramsey County Sheriffs Office (Fence) — Planning Case 22-018 Councilmember Holden stated she would like further information regarding the two different types of fences. Community Development Director Jagoe discussed the two types of perimeter security fencing Ramsey County would be installing on this property. She explained the Planning Commission reviewed this request and recommended approval of the Conditional Use Permit Amendment. Councilmember Holden stated she would not be supporting the request because she wanted a more decorative looking fence installed. Mayor Grant asked how the public was engaged for this Planning Case. Community Development Director Jagoe stated a notice of the public hearing was published in the paper and neighbors within 1000 feet of the subject property received a mailed notice prior to the October 5 Planning Commission meeting. She indicated the City also published notice in the paper for the City Council meeting and resent notices to property owners within 1000 feet of the subject property. Councilmember Holden inquired if this fence would surround the entire Ramsey County property. Community Development Director Jagoe reported this was the case, noting the Ramsey County fencing would be connected to fencing on federal property. Councilmember Holden questioned why the County was not paying for their half of the fence, due to the fact they have offices within the Sheriff Departments property. Kyle Mestad, Director of Administration for the Ramsey County Sheriff's Office, explained the funding for this project was through the County's Capital Improvement Project. He indicated the dollars being used for the fence were allocated from Ramsey County. ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL — OCTOBER 24, 2022 4 Councilmember Radziej asked what was being protected behind the fence. Mr. Mestad reported the Arden Hills campus houses the Ramsey County Sheriff's office which has a property room, evidence room, and fleet vehicles. In addition, the site houses Ramsey County Public Works Department vehicles, Arden Hills Public Works, and Mounds View School District Maintenance. Councilmember Holmes asked why the fencing was being installed. Mr. Mestad commented further on why the fencing was being requested, which was to provide for a more safe campus security plan that protected the County's assets, in the event there was civil unrest again in the community. Councilmember Holden indicated she supported the property being secure but wanted to see nicer fencing installed around the site. Mayor Grant explained he preferred the more decorative fencing as well. He commented on the responses that were received from the community. He noted the City would now have a very long expanse of barb -wired fencing when entering the community from the east. He indicated there were all kinds of security fences out there and did not believe the proposed plan was the right answer. He understood the County had a great deal of critical assets on this property and he appreciated the fact the County wanted the site secure. However, he was concerned about the appearance of Arden Hills for its residents, especially given the fact residents have expressed their concerns. He stated he supported the fence in concept, but would not be supporting the request until different security fencing was proposed. Councilmember Holmes indicated she supported the fencing as proposed by Ramsey County. She commented a lot of the fencing would be hidden by shrubbery and trees. She noted this fencing was an economic and effective manner to protect the site. Councilmember Scott stated at first he did not support the proposed fencing, but after completing the walking tour with the County he would be offering his support of the vinyl coated chain link fence. Mayor Grant thanked the County for providing the Council with a tour of the County's property. MOTION: Councilmember Radziei moved and Councilmember Holden seconded a motion to adopt Resolution 2022-047, approving a Conditional Use Permit Amendment and Site Plan Review at 1411 Paul Kirkwood Drive for the Ramsey County Sheriffs Office based on the submitted plans and subiect to the three conditions. The motion carried 3-2 (Councilmember Holden and Mayor Grant opposed). 9. PUBLIC HEARINGS None. ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL — OCTOBER 24, 2022 5 10. NEW BUSINESS None. 11. UNFINISHED BUSINESS A. Resolution 2022-049, Adopting 25 MPH Speed Limit Sign Plan for City Roadways John Morris, HR Green, stated Minnesota Statute 169.14 Speed Limits, Zones; Radar regulates highway and roadway speeds in Minnesota. Subdivision 2 sets maximum speed limits on a variety of roads within a Municipality, such as 10 mph in alleys, 30 mph in urban districts, and 25 mph on residential roadways, if adopted by the road authority. 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 changes must be implemented in a consistent and understandable manner. "The city must 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." City Council has discussed speed limit changes on various roads, and called for a city-wide reduction on City owned and maintained streets, for a speed limit reduction from 30 MPH to 25 MPH. Mr. Morris reported the 25 MPH Citywide speed limits have been discussed with City Council, staff, Ramsey County Engineering and Sheriff, City Attorney and Prosecutor to ensure proper sign locations from engineering, legal and enforcement perspectives. The final speed limit signage plan was reviewed with the Council in further detail. The City of Arden Hills studied streets under the City's jurisdiction, developed a map of city streets and speed limits, determined the appropriateness of a speed limit change, discussed and communicated speed limit changes effectively, and in public settings. The City of Arden Hills, as a safe, sustainable and walkable community, understands that lowering speed limits will provide for safer streets and reduce the likelihood of death or lifechanging injuries. Mr. Morris explained Council action tonight is adopting Resolution 2022-049 which would adopt a 25 MPH Speed Limit Sign Plan for Roadways Under City Jurisdiction. The City Council of the City of Arden Hills accept the City of Arden Hills 25 MPH Speed Limit Sign Plan showing a reduced speed limit for city jurisdiction roadways of 25 mph, with the intent of amending the City Ordinance to establish the city-wide 25 MPH speed limit, with an effective date of February 1, 2023. An ordinance amending Chapter 8, Traffic and Motor Vehicles, Section 800, Traffic and Parking Regulation of the Arden Hills City Code will come at a later date. It is required to post the proposed ordinance on the City's website 10 days prior to the adoption of the ordinance. Once the official ordinance is approved future public communications will be put out in the City's newsletter, social media, and website. Councilmember Holden asked how much money the City would be spending on new signs. ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL — OCTOBER 24, 2022 6 Public Works Director/City Engineer Swearingen estimated the City would spend $4,000 for new 25 MPH signs. Mayor Grant commented on how the demographics of Arden Hills was turning over and there were now more young families with children. He stated this was another good reason to reduce the residential speed limit to 25 MPH. Councilmember Holmes recommended an article be placed in the City newsletter letting residents know the new speed limit would go into effect in February of 2023. She suggested information also be posted on the City's website. Mayor Grant asked when the new speed limit signs would be posted. Public Works Director/City Engineer Swearingen commented with the final plans in place, he could order the sign materials and the signs would be posted this winter. Councilmember Radziej stated he found the 25 MPH speed limit to be annoying in other communities. While he understood safety was paramount this was something he would be voting against. MOTION: Councilmember Holden moved and Councilmember Holmes seconded a motion to adopt Resolution #2022-051 — Adopting 25 MPH Speed Limit Sign Plan for Roadways Under City Jurisdiction. Councilmember Holden stated she believed lowering the speed limit would assist with slowing traffic in residential neighborhoods. Mayor Grant requested staff review a map of the City noting which roadways would have the speed limit adjusted. Mr. Morris reviewed a City map noting the roadways that would have the speed limit reduced to 25 MPH. It was noted the City would not be able to lower the speed on any County roadway such as Lake Johanna Boulevard, New Brighton Road, Highway 96, and County Road E. The motion to adopt Resolution #2022-051 carried 4-1 (Councilmember Radziei opposed). 12. COUNCIL COMMENTS Councilmember Holmes thanked the Arden Hills Foundation for their donation to the Pumpkin Hunt. Councilmember Holmes stated she fully supported changing the speed limit to 25 MPH. Councilmember Holden asked if staff had received the Fernwood channel borings. ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL — OCTOBER 24, 2022 7 Public Works Director/City Engineer Swearingen explained he received those borings this morning and the soil was determined to be acceptable. He noted work would begin on the channel next week. Councilmember Holden asked if the City should look into providing security fencing around its water towers. Mayor Grant supported the City looking into providing this security measure. Mayor Grant thanked the Arden Hills Foundation for participating in the Halloween Pumpkin Hunt. Mayor Grant stated the City has been anxiously awaiting to see if the fire department received the Safer Grant.

AGENDA ITEMS A. 2023 Employee Benefits Discussion City Administrator Perrault stated that the current provider, Public Employee Insurance Program (PEIP), insurance quote came back with a nearly 50% premium increase for 2023. The City's benefits administrator, NFP, went out for an REP with other carriers. He noted that the City is at the end of its second year of a two year contract with PEIP, so could go with another carrier in 2023. He indicated that in addition to working the dollar figures into the budget, PEIP or another carrier would need to be notified by a certain date. He said open enrollment meeting would be held for employees in mid November. City Administrator Perrault stated that NFP provided proposals from PEIP and Health Partners (HP), noting the 2023 HP plan premiums would be age banded. He commented that the Union's 49er plan was a possible option, but all participants must be on a family plan. He noted White Bear Township utilizes the 49er plan for non -union employees. City Administrator Perrault reviewed the summary table as provided in the agenda packet. He noted some of the differences between a PEIP or HP HSA plan and 49er family plan. Councilmember Holmes asked if the 49er plan is the same as the PEIP plan and why the Council was not provided information on the 49er plan. ARDEN HILLS SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION — OCTOBER 24, 2022 2 City Administrator Perrault discussed some of the costs and deductible differences between the 49er family -only plan and the PEIP plan. He noted that previously, the Council was not interested in the 49er plan for non -union employees so he did not prepare that information for tonight's meeting. City Administrator Perrault provided a brief summary of the PEIP plan, which includes the choice of three different carriers (HP, B1ueCross/Blue Shield, and Preferred One). He stated that employees select the carrier they want and that coverage is based on tiers, depending on the carrier that is selected and the location of the medical clinic. Councilmember Radziej asked for information about the City's HSA contribution. City Administrator Perrault explained that currently PEIP offers three levels of plans that employees can choose from: an HSA plan, a value plan, and a high value plan. He noted that the HSA plan includes a monthly City contribution, but that all employees do receive the same benefit contribution amount as a whole. A discussion ensued regarding review of the current PEIP premium information provided in the table within the packet. Councilmember Radziej asked if under PEIP, are all employees required to participate in the City's medical coverage plan, and would HP require the same. He also asked if employees had been asked if they would potentially waive coverage if they could. City Administrator Perrault stated that currently PEIP does require a certain percentage of employees participate, and so employees were not currently eligible to opt out. He noted that this would not be the case with the HP coverage and that an opt out option would exist under that plan. A discussion ensued about HP coverage. A discussion ensued about the process for City Council approval of the employee benefits medical contribution as it relates to the overall budget approval. City Administrator Perrault stated that it appears the Council came to a consensus about HP and asked if the Council was interested in providing the option for employees to opt out of the City's medical coverage plan and receive a cash contribution in lieu of coverage. A discussion ensued regarding aspects of opting out of medical coverage. Various examples were discussed pertaining to opt out amounts that could potentially be offered, based on Council direction. A discussion ensued regarding the premium amounts paid by the City currently based on information contained in the agenda packet. Councilmember Holden stated she would support offering the example as noted in Attachment C and offering a monthly amount to opt out of the City's coverage. ARDEN HILLS SPECIAL CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION — OCTOBER 24, 2022 3 Councilmember Radziej noted that the employee must pay taxes on any opt out cash amount. Councilmembers Scott and Councilmember Holmes noted the City should be competitive with other cities that allow employees to opt out. Council consensus was to continue to contribute a yet -to -be -determined amount toward the employee's medical premium, to continue to contribute $125.00 per month to an employee's City HSA medical plan, and to offer $175.00 per month to those employees that opt out of the City's medical coverage. City Administrator Perrault recapped the Council direction, which was to pursue the plan as outlined in Attachment C with HealthPartners as presented, and to offer the option to receive a cash opt out option of $175.00 per month. He indicated this would require a change in language in the personnel policy as well. Councilmember Holmes requested the Council be provided with comparison figures regarding opt out amounts offered by other cities. 2. COUNCIL/STAFF COMMENTS None.

All items need a simple majority for action unless otherwise noted. Background/Discussion Members of the City Council are required by State Statute to certify the results of the Municipal Election to the Ramsey County Auditor within three (3) to ten (10) days after the general election. As of writing this memo, the Abstract of Votes Cast was not available from the Ramsey County Elections Office. When that information becomes available from Ramsey County Elections, staff will provide the Abstract as well as Resolution 2022-050 to the City Council and also update the public agenda packet as such on the City's website. If the Abstract of Votes Cast is not ready in time for the meeting, this item will be pulled from the agenda and a special meeting will be scheduled for approval. The following are results from the 2022 election: • David Grant as Arden Hills Mayor for a four-year term beginning in January 2023; • Emily Rousseau as Arden Hills City Councilmember for a four-year term beginning in January 2023; • Tena Monson as Arden Hills City Councilmember for a four-year term beginning in January 2023; and • Tom Fabel as Arden Hills City Councilmember for a special two-year term beginning January 2023.

Background The City of Arden Hills has used the Public Employees Insurance Program (PEIP) as their provider for health insurance since 2019. As the City was going through its renewal process, the City was notified that PEIP rates were expected to increase by almost fifty percent in 2023, resulting in an approximate thirty-one percent overall budget increase for health insurance. The City requested its benefit consultant to obtain new quotes for health insurance, which were discussed by the City Council at a special City Council Work Session on October 24th. The City Council directed Staff to move forward with a proposal received by Health Partners, which will offer a similar Health Savings Account plan, but result in a lower increase (seventeen percent) than the PEIP option. The memo from the special Work Session is attached for reference. This approval will allow the City Administrator to move forward in submitting necessary paperwork to the respective health insurance carriers in preparation for the 2023 benefit period. Actual City Contribution amounts to employees and employee costs will be approved at the December meeting, similar to previous years. Council also directed Staff to bring forward language amending the Personnel Policy to include an "opt out" option for eligible employees, this will be brought forward as a separate item on the agenda. Page 1 of 2 Budget Impact The impact to the 2023 budget for benefits is anticipated to be approximately seventeen percent higher than 2022; budget projections and impacts will be included for Council review at its November Work Session and December Council meeting. Attachments Attachment A: October 24th Special City Council Work Session Benefit Memo Page 2 of 2 'It ,-ARZEN HILLS MEMORANDUM DATE: October 24, 2022 Attachment A TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers FROM: Dave Perrault, City Administrator SUBJECT: Employee Benefit Discussion Budgeted Amount: Actual Amount: Funding Source: N/A N/A N/A For Council Consideration The City Council should consider providing direction on 2023 Employee Benefits selection. Background The City received notice regarding its benefit increases for 2023, the City's current carrier PEIP is anticipating a 50 percent increase in its premiums (note, the union's insurance is expecting a 6 or 7 percent increase). Following this news, the City requested its benefit consultant obtain quotes for other options in 2023. Below is a current break down of what the City pays and what the employee pays. Note, the below table does not reflect Union rates as they are on a different plan, per their contract they receive the same amounts as non -union employees. Their current premium is $1,345 and the City pays $1,216, leaving the union employee responsible for $130. Staff will need Council feedback on this to alert carriers of the decision and work the numbers into the draft budget. EmployeePER Plan-.

Below is a summary of the potential cost impacts associated with the different options (these cost impacts also include Dental Insurance which has a 4.1% increase). Plan Type Monthly Basis Summary Annual of City Cost Difference to PEIP $ Increase Over 2022 % Increase Over 2022 PEIP Renewal 31,833 381,993 0 91,307 31% Health Partners 28,226 338,715 (43,278) 48,029 17% 49'ers Plan 31,592 379,104 (2,889) 88,418 30% 2022 PEIP 1 24,224 1 290, 686.08 Attached are the breakdown of costs and contributions for each of the proposed options. To determine City contribution amounts for the "PEIP Renewal" option, staff used the breakdown we currently have in place. It should be noted that under the PEIP renewal option, the City share of the non -union premium is high enough that the union employees would not have an employee share. For the Health Partners option, it is similar in that single employees are covered for health and dental at 100% and families pay a flat fee of either $300 or $364 depending on the dental option they choose. For the 49er's plan option, a proposed flat rate of $250 across the board for each employee. Lastly, if Health Partners is the option selected, another cost savings measure would be to allow employees that have coverage via a spouse, the option to waive City coverage. This would save the City the cost of the premium for that particular employee; it should be noted that other cities that offer this option may pay the employee a monthly lump sum (i.e. $300). The savings to the City is the difference between the lump sum and what the premium would have been. Budget Impact Any of the options presented will have a budget increase for 2023, the current draft budget for 2023 had a 6.5 percent increase over 2022 for health insurance and a 3.0 percent increase for dental insurance. Once direction is given, staff can work the numbers into the budget for discussion in November.

All items need a simple majority for action unless otherwise noted. Background At a previous Special City Council Worksession, City Staff notified Council that a change to the Personnel Policy would be required to allow for an "opt -out" option for insurance benefits. The language proposed will modify to allow for an "opt -out" option, but not require one. The option will be discussed annually as part of the normal benefit review. The language proposed below is similar to what other cities have in their Personnel Policy. Existing Language: All full time and benefit earning employees shall be required to participate in the Employer's group health, dental, life, and other applicable insurance programs. The Employer shall contribute a monthly sum established annually by the Council. Proposed Language: All full time and benefit earning employees l may be required to participate in the Employer's group health, dental, life, and other applicable insurance programs as determined Page 1 of 2 during the City's annual benefit review. If employees are provided the choice to opt -out of specific benefits, the City will have the right to refuse the opt -out option for an employee should the City's participation in its insurance program be jeopardized. The Employer shall contribute a monthly sum established annually by the Council. Budget Impact This language will not have a direct impact on the City's budget; however, if an opt -out option is allowed and employees utilize it, the City will see a savings in that budget year.

Public Works Director / City Engineer SUBJECT: Professional Services Agreement Amendment for the Mounds View High School Trail project — Right -of -Way acquisition Budgeted Amount: Actual Amount: Funding Source: N/A $251,545.50 PIR Fund, Ramsey County Council Should Consider Motions to approve, table, or deny the following: Amendment for Professional Services for Right -of -Way acquisition and temporary easements for the Mounds View High School Trail Improvements with SRF Consulting Group, Inc. in the amount of $38,422 • Estimated ROW Costs for the Mounds View High School Trail Improvements in the amount of $12,160 with the understanding that this amount may fluctuate. All items need a simple majority for action unless otherwise noted. B ack2round/Discussion On February 8, 2021, the City approved a professional services agreement with SRF Consulting Group, Inc. (SRF) to design "shovel -ready" plans for the proposed trail along Lake Valentine Road and Old Snelling Avenue that connects the existing trail at County Rd E2 to the Mounds View High School. On September 26, 2022, Council approved an amendment with SRF to proceed with Final Design and Construction Services. Page 1 of 2 Attachment A is an amendment to provide professional services for Right -of -Way (ROW) acquisition and temporary easement per requirements of State Aid process and construction needs. The ROW graphics and legal description were prepared in 2021 but the actual acquisition process was not included in the original contract. The full description of the scope of work is also included in Attachment A, the primary tasks are land only appraisals, trail easement, 6 review appraisals, land title for 6 parcels, negotiation activities, file preparation, field title and staking for 6 parcels. Budget Impact The PSA Amendment is in the amount of $38,422. There are no ROW needs along the County's portion of the trail, therefore, the County will not share any of the costs. The actual ROW acquisition costs will be determined through appraisals, but Attachment B shows the estimated total cost of $12,160.
