APPROVE MINUTES; Clerk Administrator Morrison noted a correction on
. 8/31/87 & 9/2/87 page 10 of the August 31st Regular Council minutes;
the time of adjournment should be 12:45 a.m. rather
than 1:45 a.m.
Councilmember Hansen noted a correction on page 8 of the August 31st Regular
Council minutes; she stated that she had no direct contact with the City of
Roseville regarding the boat direction travel, she was only commenting on the
letter the Village received from Roseville. Hansen suggested the wording be
changed to read: "Councilmember Hansen commented on the letter from the City of
Roseville, relative to the boat travel direction on Lake Josephine".
Peck moved, seconded by Hansen, that Council approve the
minutes of the Regular Council meeting of August 31, 1987, as amended and
approve the minutes of the September 2, 1987, Special Council meeting as
submitted. Motion carried unanimously. (4-0)

Minutes of the Regular Council Meeting, September 14, 1987 .'
Page 2 -
RES. 87-58 (Cont'd) Morrison advised that due notice was published in the
New Bri~hton Bulletin on August 26, and mailed to
affected property owners on August 28, 1987.
Larry Erickson, 1860 Indian Place, disputed his utility bill of $136.53 from .
the second quarter billing; he advised that his normal bill is approximately
$60.00 and it was his opinion the higher amount was due to the replacement of
the inside water meter at his residence. Erickson explained that his meter may
have been defective for the past five years; he stated he was being indirectly
penalized because his meter had been replaced, and advised all residences
should be checked for such discrepancies. He noted his most recent bill was
$46.44,
Council questioned responsibility for repair of water meters inside residences.
Raddatz advised that City staff is usually called to repair inside meters,
however, it is the homeowners responsibility to see the meter is kept in good
working condition and report breakdowns.
Hansen advised that it is the opinion of the Public Safety/Works Committee
members that discrepancies should be paid by the homeowner, since the water was
used by them. She questioned if the inside or outside meter was more accurate.
Raddatz explained that the outside meter takes impulses from the inside meter
to change the number readings; temperature changes could affect the movement of
the numbers on the outside meters and it is the manufacturers opinion that the
inside meters are the mOre accurate of the two; he also noted that
manufacturers have proven the meters are never in the City's favor.
Council questioned how many of the other delinquent utility bills from .
residences were due to defective meters.
Raddatz advised that the only other defective meter bill being certified to the
County was for an industrial user.
Raddatz explained to Council that the bill may seem high, in a lump sum,
however, the meter may not have been working for the last five years and the
cost accumulated.
Mayor Woodburn commented that the meter readings to determine the extent of
this type of problem will commence with this quarterly period and an amnesty
provision is included on the cards for residents who determine there is a
problem. He questioned how long the City can go back to correct any error of
this type; it was his opinion that Erickson should not be charged for the
overage when other residents who will identify this problem will be granted
amnesty.
After determining there were no further comments from the floor, Mayor Woodburn
closed the public hearing at 8:15 p.m.
Hansen moved, seconded by Peck, that Council grant Larry
Erickson amnesty for the discrepancy remaining on his unpaid water bill as
provided on the water meter reading cards which will be distributed to
residences'throughout the City, rationale for granting amnesty is that the
meter was defective, Erickson has brought the defective meter to our attention, .
and, even though the Public Safety/Works Committee is of the opinion that
residents should be responsible for water used, a program for granting a grace
period to residents who identify such discrepancies has been initiated in the
City at this time. Motion carried unanimously. (5-0)
Winiecki clarified the fact that because Mr. Erickson identified the defective
meter is the reason for the vote of amnesty; trying to make it clear that a
precedent is not being set in case other cases' arise in the future,
Moved by Hansen, seconded by Peck, that Council approve
Resolution No. 87-58, ADOPTING'AND CONFIRMING SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS FOR
DELINQUENT SEWER AND WATER ACCOUNTS, and, furthermore, that Larry Erickson's
name be deleted from the assessment roll. Motion carried unanimously. (5-0)
Councilmember Peck questioned the City's authority to shut off water before the .
delinquent accounts become extremely excessive. Council concurred to discuss
this matter under Other Business on the Agenda.

Morrison advised that due notice was published in the New BriRhton Bulletin on
August 26th and mailed on August 28, 1987.
Mayor Woodburn asked if there were any comments from the floor.
After determining there were no comments from the floor, Mayor Woodburn closed

ROSEVILLE WATER and asked the Clerk Administrator to verify the
publication and mailing of the Notice of Hearing on the
special assessment for the Roseville Water Connection.
Morrison advised that due notice was published in the New BriRhton Bulletin on
August 26th, and mailed on August 28, 1987.
Mayor Woodburn asked if there were any comments from the floor.

CASE #87-28; SUP Council was referred to Planner's report, 8-26-87, and
ANTENNA, 1541 Planning Commission Minutes, 9-2-87, relative to the
EDGEWATER, KAHNKE Special Use Permit application for a Radio Antenna at
1541 Edgewater Avenue, Joseph Kahnke.
Planner Miller explained the applicant is proposing to install an amateur radio
antenna in the rear yard of his home; 35 ft. in height, 2 inches in diameter,
does not require guy wires, and will be located approximately 35 ft. from his
home and from each side lot line. The tower will be approximately 60 ft. from
the rear lot line and, in case of windfall, it would clear the house and
adjacent properties. Miller discussed the aesthetics of the tower and noted
that the tower will be visible from adjacent properties and residents across
the street, however, because of the scale of this antenna, it would have no
greater impact than a regular TV antenna or a flagpole.
Miller advised that the Planning Commission had recommended approval and
reviewed the conditions stipulated.
Joseph Kahnke, 1541 Edgewater, was present to answer any questions.
Council questioned if there would be additional apparatus on the antenna.
. Kahnke explained that he was not certain at this time; it would depend on
reception. He commented that if extensions were to be added at a later date,
they would be approximately 14 feet vertically, with rods measuring 1 inch in
diameter.
Winiecki asked if a 14 ft. span would be the largest the antenna would support.
Kahnke stated that was correct.
Council discussed whether or not the antenna would interfere with radio or
television reception in the area.
Winiecki commented it was clearly pointed out at the Planning Commission
meeting that the low level transmission does not interfere with either radio
. or television reception. Planner Miller advised he has had discussions with
experts who stated if appropriate equipment is used that should not be a
problem; he is not aware of any complaints given those currently operating in
the City.
Minutes of the Regular Council Meeting, September 14, 1987
Page 4 ..
CASE #87-28 (Cont'd) There was discussion relative to recourse if
neighborhood complaints are received relative to
interference with reception.
Moved by Hansen, seconded by Winiecki, that Council .
approve the Special Use Permit for Amateur Radio Antenna at 1541 Edgewater
Avenue, Joseph Kahnke, contingent upon the antenna not exceeding 35 feet in
height, 2 inches in diameter, with no guy wires, with no horizontal mast
attached, to be located according to the plan submitted by the applicant, and
that the permit would expires upon lapse of Kahnke's FCC license or his
vacating the premises, whichever comes first. Motion carried unanimously. (4-0)
CASE #87-29; DIV. Council was referred to Planner's report of August 26,
LOT 2, BLOCK 1, and Planning Commission minutes of 9/2/87, relative to
NORTHWOODS, OPUS division of Lot 2, Block 1, of Northwoods.
Miller explained that Northwoods plat was approved in 1985 by the City and
reviewed the proposed development presented at that time. He advised that one
of the buildings proposed has not been constructed at this time, apparently due
to market conditions, and an insurance company has offered to purchase a
portion of Lot 2 for construction of a claims service center. The applicant is
requesting approval of the lot division in order to accommodate the insurance
claims center; Miller noted that a claims service center is a permitted use in
the I-2 District and two such centers already exist in the City.
The Planner stated that Opus Corporation has submitted two alternative revised
master development plans; Plan A indicates.the attachment of the remainder of
the original lot to the adjacent lot to the northwest, and Plan B uses the
north lot for a day care center. .
Robert Worthington, representing Opus Corporation, was present to answer
Council questions.
There was discussion relative the two plans outlined by Miller.
Peck moved, seconded by Winiecki, that Council approve
Case #87-29, Division of Lot 2, Block 1, Northwoods, Opus Corporation, as
submitted. Motion carried unanimously. (5-0)
EDGEWATER ESTATES; Planner Miller advised Council that the owner of the
STATUS OF EASEMENT Edgewater Estates development has been attempting to
receive a release of the easement on two single family
lots, to make them more buildable, from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Department.
Miller was advised today that U.S. Fish and Wildlife has requested a land
trade; U.S. Fish and Wildlife would convey to Edgewater Estates the remainder
of the easement on the single family lots if McGuire would transfer ownership
of the large open space area designated in the PUD development, He advised that
this was initially brought to his attention in March of this year and his
initial reaction was that there should not be a problem with the land transfer
if certain restrictions were imposed at the time of transfer:
- The large open space area would remain as permanent open space.
- Recognition that the open space area was used for density calculations
for the Edgewater Estates plat would be noted on the transfer.
- The open space land would not be used for public access to the lake; .
U. S. Fish and Wildlife has indicated that they would use the land for
access to the dam.
- If an improved road for access to the dam were constructed, it would be
placed in such a manner so as not to encroach on the privacy of adjacent
residents.
Miller explained that Council may choose to consider this proposal carefully
before expressing their concerns to McGuire's attorney. He displayed a diagram
of the area to familiarize Council with the proposal.
Miller commented that Council consider referring this matter to the Attorney
for his comments relative to imposing the above restrictions on a Federal
agency; on privately owned property this can be accomplished with deed
restrictions and can be enforced by Court injunction. Miller was unsure if such
deed restrictions would apply to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Agency, since the .
City does not have jurisdiction on Federal land.
. Minutes of the Regular Council Meeting, September 14, 1987
Page 5
EDGEWATER (Cont'd) Council expressed concerns relative to public access in
this area, if the area could become a park, if the
. residents of the townhouse development would be restricted from use of the land
and if the land transfer would affect the assessments on the property.
Miller advised that all assessments were charged to the developer and this
transfer of land should not effect those assessments; the transfer would create
8 buildable lots in the single family portion of the Edgewater development.
Miller noted that if the City cannot legally enforce such restrictions and was
not comfortable with the land conveyance, it would revert back to the current
situation on the single family lots, with one or two unbuildable lots.
Council discussed the density calculations for the parcel which included the
open space as an amenity; also discussed if a precedent would be set for other
developable land in the City.
Miller advised that in terms of density, if property were stipulated to remain
as permanent open space, the density remains the same regardless of ownership.
In terms of use or maintenance of the land, that could change and public access
may be a concern.
After discussion, Council concurred that they would prefer more time to review
this matter and instructed the Planner to convey their initial concerns to the
owner's attorney. Furthermore, they instructed staff to contact the attorney
for his opinion regarding the placement of restrictions on the property if
conveyed to a Federal agency.
. OWNERSHIP OF CAP. Council was referred to a letter from the City of
EQUIP.; FIRE DEPT Shoreview , 9/1/87, requesting information relative to
Arden Hills position on the ownership of future fire
equipment in the City.
After discussion, Council concurred that the Clerk Administrator be directed to
respond to the City of Shoreview that Arden Hills position is to own future
capital equipment if purchased by the City; this matter will be discussed in
conjunction with the Arden Hills contract with the LJVFD.
RECYCLING; COMM. Council was referred to the minutes of the Solid Waste
RECOMMENDATIONS Management Sub-Committee meeting, 8/17/87; recommending
proposed implementation of a recycling program.
Paul Malone, Sub-Committee member, was present and outlined the committee
objectives:
- Institute a curbside pickup program for recyclables.
- Fund curbside pickup via a surcharge on the haulers' billings.
- Establish volume-based refuse collection fees.
- Maintain an open hauling systems.
Malone advised that the eight licensed haulers in the City were invited to
attend; three of the eight were present. He stated that the haulers were not in
favor of the City adopting an organized hauling system and did not appear to be
. interested in establishing and enforcing a volume-based rate plan. The haulers
discussed separate pickup of lawn and garden refuse, however, there is no
adequate dumping site available, at present, large enough to accommodate
significant amounts of material.
Malone advised that after committee discussion, the following recommendations
for Council consideration were made:
1. Arden Hills should maintain an open hauling system.
2. A bi-weekly curbside pickup program for recyclables should be
implemented.
3. Funding of the curbside pickup could be accomplished through a flat
surcharge on the City's utility bills. (Bi-weekly pickup is estimated to
cost $26,000 per year, $9.00 per household. A $1.00 per-month charge
was recommended)
4. Encourage haulers to offer volume-based pricing (approximately 15%
. below current rates).
5. Further consider separate pickup of yard waste; explore possible
sites that would be adequate to handle the garden refuse.

RECYCLING (Cont'd) Malone explained that the City has the option to do
nothing at this time to implement recycling, however, it
will be mandated eventually; he suggested that if the Council favors .
implementation of a recycling program to begin in 1988, the implementation and
advertising of the program should begin immediately,
Winiecki stated that the committee had done an excellent job.
Hansen questioned the availability of grant funds to help fund the
implementation of the recycling program.
Malone advised that the next cycle for application for grant monies begins in
January of 1988, which coincides with the expiration of the rubbish haulers'
licenses.
Peck questioned the calculation of the $1,00 surcharge per-household; he asked
where the excess monies would be placed.
Malone explained that the calculations were done on the presumption that there
would be additional costs; such as, administration of the program, fees for
containers (if purchased). He stated that this program was not being
established as a money making operation; fee could be reduced or increased as
necessary to cover costs of the program.
Council questioned if the composting site in Arden Hills was being depleted;
Raddatz advised the compost is completely gone.
After discussion Council concurred that this item should be continued to a
future meeting; they noted the Finance Committee would then have an opportunity .
to review this item in the proposed 1988 Budget. Council generally agreed with
the Committee recommendations for recycling.
INCR. INSURANCE Council was referred to Finance Committee minutes of
FOR CONTRACTORS 8/27/87; recommending an increased insurance
requirements for licensed contractors.
Moved by Hansen, seconded by Peck, that Council approve
increased insurance requirements for licensed contractors to $300,000 aggregate
and $100,000 property damage, in accordance with Mr. Hite's review. Motion
carried unanimously. (4-0)
PRO-RATING FEES Councilmember Hansen reported that she has discussed
FOR CONTRACTORS with the Clerk Administrator the current practise of
pro-rating fees for contractors. Morrison advised that
the current contractors license fee is $25.00 per year; when the license is
purchased toward the end of the year, the fee does not cover administrative
costs for issuing the license. Hansen recommended eliminating the pro-rating of
the the contractors license fee.
Morrison noted that the City Attorney was presently drafting an ordinance
amendment which reflects the license fee increases; she suggested the
elimination of the pro-rating for the contractors license fee could be
incorporated in the draft of the ordinance amendment, if Council concurred.
Council consensus was to direct the Attorney to incorporate the elimination of .
the pro-rated fee for Contractors License into the Ordinance amendment he is
currently drafting which pertains to license fees.
OTHER BUSINESS
COMMITTEE APPTMENTS Council was referred to the applications received from
Village residents who would like to serve on committees;
Morrison advised there were vacancies on the Human Rights and Finance
Committee.
There was Council discussion regarding if the appointments should be made at
this time or held until the first of the year, and if Council should review the
applications or the Committee chairpersons.
After discussion, Council concurred that the Chairpersons of the Human Rights .
and Finance Committees should contact the interested applicants and make
recommendation to the Council.
RCLLG MEETING Councilmember Hansen reported that the Ramsey County
League of Local Government meeting would be held at the
Arden Hills Village Hall on September 16th; topic will be latch-key children.

SCREENING MECH. Councilmember Hansen questioned the status of screening
EQUIP. POT O'GOLD the mechanical equipment at the Pot O'Gold Bingo Parlor.
. Clerk Administrator advised that she and the Zoning Administrator had discussed
this matter with Jim Adams and explained that the current plantings were not
sufficient to accomplish the screening of the mechanical units at the Bingo
Parlor. Morrison stated that Adams explained he would contact the landscape
company and report back to City staff. Iago explained that she had tried to
contact Adams this date; she did not receive a return call.
Hansen suggested the owner be advised to accomplish the screening and be given
a specific deadline,
SPEC. EVENT Councilmember Hansen questioned if the Amoco Station,
SIGN; AMOCO County Road E, had exceeded the 10 day period for their
Special Even Sign permit.
Morrison advised she would review the permit and contact Amoco if they had
exceeded the expiration date.
DELIQ. UTILITY Councilmember Hansen questioned if the delinquent
ACCT: CEPECK utility account for Mr. Cepeck, 1175 Amble Drive, would
be considered for amnesty since Erickson's account was
given such consideration and removed from the assessment roll.
Public Works Supervisor explained that the Cepeck situation was different;
Cepeck has received credit for a portion of water consumption, due to the fact
that the defective meter was returned to the company and the discrepancy could
. not be proven.
ABSENT; PS/W MTG. Councilmember Hansen reported that she would be absent
from the Public Safety/Works Committee meeting of 9/24:
she would be attending a Fire Pension meeting.
WATER SHUT-OFF: Councilmember Peck suggested Council discuss the
DELIO. UTILITIES establishment of a policy for shutting off water to
residents/businesses that have delinquent utility
accounts. He questioned if Council would have the authority to reject
applications from contractors and other residents in the Village if their
utility accounts are delinquent.
Council discussed an appropriate time-frame for notification of water shut off,
penalties that could be imposed and how to deal with hardship cases.
After discussion, Council concurred that it would be appropriate to notify
residents/businesses of water shut off if the account is delinquent for two
quarters and payment arrangements have not been made with the City within 10
working days. Council directed the Clerk Administrator to conduct a survey of
surrounding communities regarding their time-frame for water shut off, any
problems relating to water shut-off for residences, and amounts of penalties
imposed on delinquent accounts.
There was discussion regarding increasing the current amount of penalty imposed:
8 percent is initially charged or adding an additional 8 percent penalty at
. the end of the quarter.
Council discussed establishing guidelines for hardship cases; concurred that
the standards for hardship cases could be set after reviewing the survey
information.
REPORT OF CLERK ADMINISTRATOR
SPEC. EVENT SIGN; Council was referred to an informational letter from
KEITHSON ADDITION the Clerk Administrator: regarding an aerial special
event sign at the Keithson Addition, that is being
displayed in conjunction with the Parade of Homes.
Morrison stated that Council approval is not required for special event signs
in a residential districts; however, the sign exceeds the 35 ft. height
. requirements. She questioned if Council favored allowing the height variation.
After discussion, Council concurred that the aerial sign should be brought into
conformance with the 35 ft. height requirement.

MOUNDS VIEW LGTING Councilmember Winiecki explained that the Light Brigade
had contacted Pot O'Gold Bingo and that charitable
gambling funds would be used to pay for the lighting at Mounds View High School .
and payment should be accomplished within 7 or 8 months.
Council suggested Pot O'Gold may consider donating funds toward a Senior
Citizen Van and toward the Youth Services Bureau.
ODOR COMPLT; Mayor Woodburn reported that he had checked the odor
ALPO FOODS complaint at Alpo Foods; referred to letter from
Harvey Stewart, Manager of Alpo Foods.
Woodburn advised that the loading dock doors had been left open on the evening
in question: after the doors were closed the odor subsided. He commented that
Alpo has been working toward eliminating the odor emissions.
YOUTH SERV BUREAU Councilmember Hansen commented that the Youth Service
OUTSTANDING CONTR. Bureau requested recommendations for outstanding
contributions to youth in the area; she commented that
she could contact Johanna Shores for possible recommendations.
PURCHASE COMPUTER Council was referred to a letter from Deputy Clerk Iago
DEPUTY CLERK OFC. dated 9/10/87; requesting the purchase of computer
equipment for her office use.
Iago and Marshall had visited Ameridata and viewed the two computers compared
in the memorandum; Iago had recommended the IBM PS/2 Model 30 be purchased,
with an IBM Wheelwriter 3 printer, in the amount of $3,338.00. Iago had also
requested an additional $200.00 for furniture to house the computer equipment. .
There was discussion of the printer unit proposed and equipment compatibility
with the computers currently in use. Morrison advised that compatibility had
been considered, noting the comparison between the IBM PS/2 and the Ameridata
Computer, however, it was determined that the work load was not interchanged
and the trend is toward the smaller disks. Iago advised that a disk adapter may
be purchased, should the necessity arise.
Moved by Hansen, seconded by Winiecki, that Council
authorize the purchase of a computer system for use by the Deputy Clerk and to
meet the needs of her office workload, at a cost not to exceed $3,600.00.
Motion carried unanimously. (4-0)

Date: September 28, 1987
To: Arden Hills Council
From: Robert W. Raddatz, Public Works Supervisor
Re: Purchase of Tractors
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Last week (Wednesday) we received bids on tractors for the replacement of
the Case and Massey Ferguson tractors. The Case will be split four ways
(Sewer, Water, Streets, Parks). The Massey Ferguson will be a part of the
Parks equipment. The Case we are replacing is a 1972 model, 15 years
old. The Massey Ferguson is a 1974 model. 13 years old.
$40,000 is budgeted in the 1987 budget for this purpose, and $17,000 in
the 1988 budget.
We received four bids to replace the Massey Ferguson, two from Ford, and
two from John Deere. All units bid were comparable; all the units had to
take one exception from the specifications as written. the power reverse
shuttle shift. All other things were equal. The bids ranged from $23,195
down to $20,450. They were as follows:
. John Deere........... .$23,195.00
Ford................ ..$22,589.00
Ford................ ..$22,230.00
John Deere........... .$20,450.00
After looking at all four bids and studying the tractors, I propose we buy
the John Deere for $20,450.00., from Kortuem's Sales of Maple Plain.
All the dealers are reliable, and have parts and service available.
We received nine bids to replace the Case; two from John Deere, two from
Case, four from Ford, and one from Massey Ferguson. Of the nine, only two
met the specifications 1007.. The bids ranged from $25,500.00 to
$27,948.00. The bid of $25,500.00 was for a Massey Ferguson; the bid of
$27,948.00 was for a Case.
After studying all the bids, I would propose we purchase the Massey
Ferguson from Kortuem's Sales of Maple Plain.
Both units together would cost $45,950.00. We had $40,000 budgeted for
the Case, and $17,000 for the Massey Ferguson replacements. The Case
replacement is lower, since we are not buying a backhoe with it as was the
original plan. The Massey Ferguson replacement is higher than
anticipated, but both together are cheaper than the $57,000 budgeted.
. I would propose that we take the $40,000 budgeted in 1987, and take the
difference to purchase the two tractors out of the funds budgeted for
sealcoating this year. That would allow the $17,000 budgeted (for a
tractor) in 1988 to be used for other things in 1988, such as Pavement
Management.

Call to Order and Roll Call
The meeting was called to order at 7:35 p.m. by Public Works Supervisor
Robert W. Raddatz.
Roll Call
Present: Bud Steglich, Jerome Timm. Ed Trolander, Paul Malone
Absent: Roy Ambli, Bill Gillies, Rob Carley, Duane Long, Don Zehm
Also Present: Public Works Director Robert W. Raddatz, Clerk Administrator
Patricia J. Morrison
Approval of Minutes
The minutes of August 20 were approved as submitted.
Review of Police and Fire Department Reports
Numbers of calls in both departments were average for the month.
Update - Traffic Control, Hi~hways 96 and 10 Intersection
An earlier letter from MnDOT indicated that studies have shown that
installing flashing lights does not significantly reduce accidents, and
they would not recommend them for this intersection (as suggested by this
committee earlier).
. Despite reassurances from MoDOT in this letter that the incidence of
accidents at this intersection is not excessive, the Committee continued
to maintain it was a dangerous intersection, pointing out that the
accidents which occur here, because of a high rate of speed, are usually
more serious than those at similar intersections. Steglich has monitored
the area between 8:00 p.m. and 9:00 p.m.; observed two near-misses; saw
several 18-wheelers run the light (going north on Highway 10) during the
.space of 45 minutes.
Committee requests closer surveillance by the Highway Patrol of this
intersectiont in unmarked cars.
Delinquent Utility Bills
Morrison and Raddatz reviewed the City's current policy of certifying
delinquent utility bills once a year (at 8% interest). and the Council's
recent discussions relative to shutting off water service as well.
Morrison reviewed the policies of neighboring cities; noted that the only
one which does shut off utilities had told her that before doing so proper
notifications had to be given. and a public hearing had to be held.
Committee consensus was that, if possible, City should find a way to
either be able to shut off patrons' water, unless administrative costs for
doing this were excessiveJ or increase the interest rate charged on
. overdue accounts.
Tower Update
The exterior is painted except for the top; the interior needs to be
sprayed with chlo':ine, the line pressure-tested, and the new water tower
will be operational!.
. Water Mair, Break, Old t!~J;t"way 10
A water main break h~d occurred again (September 25) on the stretch
between County Road F and Valentine; when the break was fixed and the
water turned back on, three more small breaks occurred. Raddatz explained
that there is a mile of older, cast iron pipe here; breaks occur
frequently; however, since replacement cost is over $100,000, and cost of
repairing breaks is probably $500 each time replacement is not recommended
at this time.
Pavement ManaJ;tement Plan
This has been presented to Council, along with a 1988 budget request of
$60,000 (for overlay) and $40,000 (for sealcoating) to implement the first
year of this plan. The program used to compile the data resulting in
recommendations will be installed on the City's computer, and updated
every two years by Village personnel.
The Finance Committee has recommended that the plan be implemented in
1988. A breakdown of SEH's recommendations follows:
The City has 27.8 miles of street to maintain. Of these, 13.28 miles
(or 50%) need no special treatment at this time. 5.45 miles (or 20%)
need overlaying, at an estimated cost of $592,155.84. 6.67 miles (or
24%) need sealcoating, $131,651.75, during the next few years. 1.97
miles need complete reconstruction. estimated cost $933,357.
. SEH had further recommended the $60,000 for overlaying be done in 1988.
Raddatz noted that the program should, in the long run, save the City
money in maintenance costs.
Committee asked if funds are set aside regularly by the Council for street
replacement; noted that the streets are the City's largest investment, at
approximately $15 million, it behooves the City to protect this large
investment, and it would also seem financially astute to set aside sums
for repair and replacement costs, using whatever means seem desirable.
Miscellaneous ltems
Bids for replacement of the two tractors were opened September 23; prices
seem reasonable. Delivery should occur within one month, after orders are
placed.
The truck for the jetter has been delivered to the dealer; the jetter will
be installed on the t~uck withi~ two to three weeks.
Odor problem on North Hamline is spreading, has now spread to another home
to the north. Line was again televised, after being cleaned three more
times, and proved to be completely clean. Raddatz' only remaining thought
is that Bethel is in some way passing along odoriferous compounds.
Committee asked if Salitros' line had been cleaned; Raddatz replied that
Salitros had his pipe to the sewer cleaned.
.
v
, ~i
. u0
. Sewer line on Wync~ next to Hamline was televised because of problems;
there proved to be a dip in the line, under Hamline Avenue. Raddatz felt
that in some way, either NSP, the phone company, or the cable company,
caused pressure on the line, during construction, to cause the dip; SEH is
researching the best method of repair. Raddatz is avoiding at all costs
any repair that would involve pulling up any portion of Hamline Avenue.
Sewer line problems have also recently been encountered in the line
running through the compost site. Public Works personnel found a block of
cement, plus large pieces of railroad ties in the sewer. All debris has
been removed, and the manholes covered with a load of sand, so they are
not visible to pranksters. (Raddatz says that if he needs to get into
them, it's simple to remove the sand with the scraper.)
Recycling Program
Malone reported that the subcowmittee has met, is considering recommending
(1) a program of twice-monthly pickups of recyclables, with a $1.00 charge
to residents via their utility bill to cover the cost, (2) volume-based
pricing by the haulers, so residents could conceivably recover the $1 by a
reduced bill for less garbage, and (3) providing a place where all yard
wastes could be taken (since this constitutes 10% of the waste stream) and
a separate pickup by haulers of yard waste. The Committee is continuing
to refine a program for presentation to this committee, and to Council for
eventual implementation.
Adjournment

4It If we are to effect this expanded restriction toward power
boating, does this mean that in all fairness the DNR and the
city of Arden Hills will also effect a total ban on all
other watercraft during those periornof time designated
for boats traveling over 40 mph? Anything less would be
discriminatory and certainly inequitable.
Looking at the copies of the accident reports I am surprised
that they are included, Note that the report covers 1979
to 1987. As you~know, recreational boating has changed
dramatically in this time period. The industry has made
gigantic strides forward in equipment, boats, recreational
opportunities, Using figures 8 years old for supportive
material is really reaching. Nothing today resembles re-
creational boating as it was conducted even 5 years ago.
The 'highlited' areas of this report sent to us is, for
the most part, net legible. However, those entries that
can be read indicate violations of the 5mph zone (those
shouldn't have even been issued), skiing after hours, a
runaway boat, boating violations (?), boating within 250
ft. of shore (again, shouldn't have been issued), carless
boat operation, operating w/ person on gunwales. None of
these occurances indicate a necessity for a 40 mph speed
limit. In fact, the incidents are not accidents, but what
appear to be misdeanor violations of an ill defined ord-
. inance that is in violation of itself.
This amendment does not reflect the opinion and views of
the user public or even the views/opinions of the city of
Arden Hills. The material presented is, in my opinion,
questionable and a misrepresentation of facts by some very
unknowledgeable persons with a personal ax to grind. It
disturbs me that the city of Arden Hills would enact further
restrictions on Lake Johanna based on hearsay and misrepresent-
ions without seeking more data from individuals who are
experts in this particular field, For what it's worth,
such an individual lives on Lake Johanna and it appears
that nobody has contacted him for input, That's incredible!
I recommend refusal of the requested amendment and suggest
that the city of Arden Hills research the practicality of
the existing ordinance.
Sincere:],y,

DATE: September 22, 1987
RE: Grants for Recycling Programs
On September 21, 1987, the Ramsey County Board of Commissioners
approved increased funding for recycling grants to cities. In
1988, funds will be available to All cities for expenses related
to curbside recycling. These funds will pay 100% of the expenses
associated with once-monthly curbside pickup of recyclable
. materials. The eligible expenses include payments to a curbside
collection contractor, staff time, and public education
(brochures, lawn signs, etc.)
Additional funds may be available to some cities for twice-
monthly collection. County staff are interested in establishing
pilot efforts in a few cities for twice-monthly collection of
recyclables.
Funding for the recycling grants is collected through a special
assessment on property tax statements. In 1987, each single-
family residential tax parcel was assessed $2.24. In 1988, this
assessment will increase to about $7.00. This increase is due to
the additional funds needed to provide service to the whole
county instead of just part of it, an intensive promotional
campaign, and pilot projects in twice-monthly collections and
containers. Note that cities can request to be exempted from
this assessment if they successfully operate and finance their
own recycling and/or composting programs. Further details on
this exemption can be found on page 40 of the Ramsey County
Master Plan for' Solid Waste Management (February, 1987 edition).
In the next month or so, you should receive a packet with more
complete information. This packet will contain grant guidelines,
information on application procedures, a draft RFP for contractor
. services, and a draft contract.
In the meantime, if you should have any questions please feel
free to call me at 633-0316.

Review of AURust 17, 1987 Minutes
The minutes were approved as prepared.
Yard Refuse
Yard refuse is said to make up almost 10% of the waste material picked up in
Arden Hills. Given a waste stream reduction goal of 16%, removing yard waste
from the total volume would go a long way toward meeting that objective.
Several options might be available for the handling of yard refuse:
l. Refuse to pick up yard refuse - could be enforced by licensing
ordinance. Probably not a good idea because the residents wouldn't have
any place to deposit their waste and would resort to dumping illegally.
2. Campaign for residents to more actively use the composting center.
Might help, but the hours at the center aren't very convenient. We'll talk
to the County to determine if the hours might be extended. We would
suggest the hours be 12:00 to sundown, Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
3. Provide a separate pickup of yard waste - could be enforced by our
. licensing ordinance. The problem is that we have no place to deposit it.
We'll check with the County to see if they can recommend a site.
4. Help citizens learn how to compost on site. Perhaps hold a workshop on
composting and provide educational materials. The County could assist with
materials, and the program could be transmitted by cable.
5. Open burning - probably not a likely possibility.
RecyclinR
It is likely that we'll need to institute curbside pickup of recyclables. The
pickup needs to be regularly scheduled, and perhaps with a pickup schedule
consisting of more than one pickup a month. We will check with Super Cycle to
see what the costs might be for a bi-weekly pickup.
We believe the costs would run in the range of $25,000 per year. Revenue for
this could come from a $1.00 per household per month charge included with
utility billings. This would raise about $33,000 per year. The surplus funds
could be used for educational activities.
OrRanized HaulinR
The group still believes that organized hauling does not provide significant
benefi ts .

REVIEW OF PROPOSED 1988 BUDGET
Chair Erickson pointed out to Committee members that in the 1988 Budget, as
presented, the tax levy exceed the levy limits by $82,135. In addition to this
shortfall, the Committee needs to consider whether funds for implementation of
the State mandated "509 Surface Water Management Plan" (estimated cost $25,000
to $35,000) and the Pavement Management Study (recommended expenditures in 1988
. total $60,000) should be provided for as well. This would bring the shortfall
to $172,135.
A review of the 1988 budget with department heads ensued:
Summer Play~round Pro~ram (p. 38, 39) Rev. +600
Committee had asked Buckley to consider an increase in fees for this program
(presently $5.00) to $10.00. A survey of neighboring communities showed our
'fees comparable; however, Buckley suggested the fee be increased to $7.50,
without t-shirts being given to the children. He predicts 250 children
enrolled in the program in 1988, with additional income of approximately $600.
Skatin~ Rinks (p. 40, 41)
Committee questioned increase in this account as co~pared to 1987 estimate.
Buckley explained that the skating season was much shorter than usual in 1987,
causing 1987 expenditures to fall under the originally budgeted amount. In the
1987-88 skating season, a general skating area will be established and
maintained in the new North Snelling Park.
Park Maintenance (p. 42, 43) Rev. -1,000 Exp. -10,000
- 1,000
Buckley is requesting replacement of an aging 1/2 ton truck (almost ten years
old, beginning to rust out) with a 3/4 ton truck. The size requested is
slightly larger since the truck is being used increasingly for hauling
transportation trailers, and a heavier truck will last longer and perform
. better. His budget also requests replacement of a Toro Groundsmaster mower, at
$17,500. The mower is aging, and has had increasing hours of "down" time.
something he can't afford when the grass is growing rapidly.

Minutes of Special Council/Finance Committee Meeting, September 17
Page 2 .
Committee asked Buckley. if he had to choose between the two pieces of
equipment, which was most essential. The mower was Buckley's choice, for
reasons previously stated.
Committee recommended the cost of the truck be removed from 1988 proposed
budget, and $500 added to Revenue for trade-in value of the old mower. It was
also recommended that the mower be budgeted at $16,500, rather than $17,500,
and Buckley attempt to obtain it at that lower figure.
Committee questioned increase in account 109. Park Salaries. Buckley is
requesting 4 part time employees, instead of 3, for the summer of 1988. because
of the increased park area and equipment to be maintained, increased work in
trail maintenance, and increased work with the completion of Ham1ine Ave and
Lexington Ave. reconstruction (mowing boulevards and intersection areas).
Erickson asked if residents weren't supposed to maintain boulevards in front of
their homes...it was explained that much of Hamline Avenue and Lexington does
not have homes fronting on the streets.
The increase in code 228 (maintenance of parks and playgrounds) was prompted by
increased cost of maintenance supplies and need for more of these with
increased parks and equipment.
Employer Paid Health Insurance (all accounts) - 3,475
At this point, the Committee digressed to discuss the increase in code 130, .
Employer Paid Health Insurance throughout the budget. McNiesh explained that.
in preparation of this budget, she had added a 15% increase in the City's
contribution toward the cost of health insurance, beginning in July of 1988.
She added that the City currently pays $195 toward the total cost of health
insurance for each employee; charges for health insurance increased 17% this
year and are expected to increase another 15% next year; based on this, there
is a strong possibility, in her opinion, that upcoming union negotiations for
the 1988 contract may result in an increase in the City's contribution to the
total cost of health insurance for employees. In response to query, !fan
employee currently carries family health and dental coverage, his out-of-pocket
expense is a minimum of $46.50. Delete 15% increase, which Committee estimated
at $2,000. Actual calculations, including deleted finance employee, delete
$3,475.
Shade Tree Disease Control - 2,800
It was explained that the principal cost to the City in this account is in
salaries; all costs for actual tree removal are reimbursed by property owners
to the City. Removal of trees from public property (code 407) costs could not
be eliminated. The number of diseased trees identified has been decreasing
year by year, partly because fewer elms remain in the City, and partly because
this sanitation program has been successful.
In response to Committee query as to whether the program could be discontinued
except for responding to. citizen requests, Buckley stated that if this were
done, there probably would be many dead trees standing in the City; felt the
City's contracting with a tree removal service resulted in a lower cost for .
tree removal to citizens; added trees are one of Arden Hills' biggest
resources; the City is known throughout the metropolitan area for its beauty
.

and tress. New Brighton, Mounds View, and Roseville have a program similar to
Arden Hills'; Shoreview removes trees from public property only and responds to
citizens' complaints.
Noting that the tree inspector is a full time parks employee, whose salary is a
part of the levy regardless of where the time is charged, Erickson asked if a
savings could result if his time in this area was switched to park maintenance,
and one of the part time employees deleted, and someone outside hired to
respond only to citizen concerns with their trees. Buckley replied this could
be done, but we would not get the service we do now, since Dave is around all
the time when calls come in. Steele noted that trees are spoken of as a
renewable resource, however, not in one person's lifetime; are extremely
valuable, does not think homeowners can be depended upon to call for assistance
when a tree is diseased, prefer the program not become more expensive, but
would not like to see it cut. McNiesh asked that the actual amount of time
Winkel spends on the program be accurately recorded, so we know exactly what
the program costs. Erickson stated he saw this as a program that was necessary
in 1981. but City is now at the point where we could accomplish as much by
going to a "pay as you go" inspection service.
Motion was made by Menze, seconded by Nesset, that the program be left as
budgeted. Motion failed (Menze, Nesset in favor, Erickson, McNiesh,
Mertensotto, Rautio, Shad, Stafford, Steele opposed). Motion was made by
Steele, seconded by McNiesh, that the program be cut back to $15,500. Motion
. was withdrawn by Steele and seconder McNiesh. Motion was made by Nesset,
seconded by Mertensotto, that the additional summer employee in Parks
Maintenance budget be deleted, and Winkel be "spread a little thinner". Motion
carried; Erickson, McNiesh, Mertensotto, Nesset, Rautio, Shah, Stafford, Steele
in favor, Menze opposed.
Self Sustainin~ Recreation (p. 49, 50) Rev. +$2,000 Exp. -10,200
The budget suggests adding a half-time Program Director to assist in
administering the present program, and additional programs that seem to be
desired by residents. Committee had asked for comparison of program fees with
neighboring communities. and consideration for increase in fees; Buckley's
comparison shows Arden Hills fees all at a level with, or higher, than those of
neighboring communities. Erickson maintained that baseball teams (which pay
$50 more in Arden Hills than any where else) are usually sponsored by
corporations who do not care what the fee may be. Councilman Sather pointed
out that he, as a corporate sponsor, is concerned about the fee; is an
important consideration when sponsoring a team. Buckley added that in order to
charge fees such as this or higher, a well-maintained, adequate field needs to
be provided; Arden Hills' fields are well-maintained, but are not fenced and
not as large as those of surrounding communities; feels the fee is as high as
the traffic can bear. It was asked if many of the teams are non-resident;
Buckley replied they are mostly sponsored by resident companies and their
employees are the players.
Buckley added that the hockey, soccer and baseball associations are now
. completely parent-sponsored and operated. These associations are asking now
for more and more help in maintaining the programs; feels that if some help in
scheduling and organization is not given, the parents could conceivably turn
them back to the cities, which would result in highly increased work load. The
requested additional program director would help in this area as well.

Steele noted that the amount Arden Hills has increased its levy in the last few
years has been three times the amount the inflation rate has gone up.
It was moved by Steele, seconded by Mertensotto, that the 1/2 time Program
Director be deleted from this account, for savings of $10,200. Motion carried
unanimously.
Erickson again asked about fees...suggested Buckley increase one or two to see
if it results in loss of participation or what happens. Buckley predicted
persons would go to other programs or drop out. Mertensotto suggested Buckley
come to the Finance Committee during the year to discuss at more length the
funding for Self Sustaining programs.
Committee requested Buckley adjust fees in some way to add $2,000 in income in
the Self Sustaining fund, He agreed to do so.
Park Fund
Balance in the fund at this time is $313,444. Contributions from pull tab'
operations in 1986 totalled $26,690; in 1987 contributions are expected to
total $34,800, if giving continues at its present rate. Contributions from
dedicated funds are lower each year as less land remains to be developed.
Without the pull tab contributions, or other fund raising efforts, the fund
will be depleted in the next few years, at which time park improvements or
developments will need to be funded from tax levy. Pull tab donations are not
included in 1988 estimated revenue. .
Public Works Accounts
General Government Buildin~s Exp. -$5,500
Committee questioned increase in code 223, Bldg. and Ground Maintenance.
Raddatz explained that this is for costs of bringing the equipment and
buildings into closer compliance with OSHA standards. The City has not had a
formal OSHA inspection for many years, and fines could be as high as $30,000 to
$40,000 for violations of their standards.
Committee asked why, since we purchased our own telephones in 1987, and are no
longer leasing phones, there was an increase in this account. Raddatz stated
that the monthly cost for leasing decreased; however, an additional line was
added, so the net saving per month is $41.50 $500 will be cut from this
account.
Committee asked about the money budgeted for building doors. Raddatz stated
this is the third and last year in door replacement program; if not replaced,
the doors would need extensiv~ repair.
Necessity for shop hoist was queried. Raddatz stated it would make repair work
on trucks easier and save some time, but would not necessarily cut costs. It
was agreed to delete this item saving $3,000.
$2,000 is budgeted for blinds for the office area and Council Chambers. .
Committee concurred to delete ~his line item as well ($2,000 saving).
Raddatz explained that no additional manpower is budgeted for, although he does
plan to again employ an OJT student from School District 621 (On the Job
Training) at $4.00, 250 hours in 1987, 875 in 1988).

. Streets (p. 32, 33) Exp. -$8,850
+ 60,000
$18,000 is budgeted in 1988 for code 224 (Sand, Salt, Road Mix). Committee
questioned if this amount was necessary, since this much was purchased in 1987
and very little used in that mild winter. Raddatz stated that this includes,
as well as sand and salt mix, hot mix for patching and all other types of road
mix. The City in the past has not patched cracks, but he is planning to do
some of this. Some of the material will also be used in executing the plans of
the Pavement Management Study. McNiesh asked if some dollars should not then
be moved to this project; Raddatz agreed that $2,500 would probably be used in
this way, and could be deleted from this code. Some of the materials was used
in mudjacking of the curbs also, approximately $1,500 to $1,600.
Committee asked if the $40,000 budgeted in 1988 for sea1coating was part of the
Pavement Management Plan and included in the $60,000 recommended for execution
of this plan. Raddatz replied that the streets which would be seal coated would
be those recommended for sealcoating in the plan, but the cost is in addition
to the $60,000. All of the $60,000 would be used for overlay. He would like
to keep $40,000 in sealcoating this year. If it is decided not to budget for
the Pavement Management Plan, he would then use $30,000 for sealcoating and
$10,000 for raising curbs, fixing ditches, etc. on the streets which are
seal coated.
. In discussion of the total cost of the Pavement Management Plan, McNiesh
pointed out that much of the $1,600,000 will be assessable to property owners,
to some extent, in cases where the streets are completely reconstructed
($933,357). Whether overlay Can be assessed to any degree is not known; staff
will research this (total cost of all overlay recommended in plan -
$592,155.84. Total cost of sealcoating recommended is $131,651.75, now
budgeted over a period of four years (assuming $40,000 per year). Committee
asked if the amount budgeted for overlay this year would be "keeping up" with
street deterioration...Raddatz stated that it would. It was recommended by the
engineers that the plan be executed over a ten year period.
It was moved by Steele, seconded by McNiesh, that the Pavement Management Plan,
$60,000 be included in the 1988 proposed budget. Motion carried, Mertensotto
opposed. Discussion ensued as to methods of financing this study. McNiesh
pointed out that reconstruction of streets could be delayed; since they have
"already gone to pot". She added that interest earned by the PIR fund could
well be spent for projects like this. $84,200 estimated interest will be
earned by this fund in 1988, which would just about cover the $60,000 for this
and $25,000 for the 509 Surface Water Management Plan. Menze asked if the
$10,000 spent to develop the plan would be wasted if it was not begun this
year; Raddatz stated probably not; the plan is that every two years, it will be
updated by our employees walking each street of the city and updating the
computer program. If the plan is adopted, a line item will be added in the
Streets Budget.
$40,000 was budgeted for sealcoating in 1987, and in 1988; Raddatz stated that
. no sealcoating had been done, since he wanted to wait for results from the
Pavement Management Study to utilize its recommendations, and it was not
completed before sealcoating could be accomplished for this year. A portion of
this was used to repair the Glenview Avenue storm sewer; $17,000 remains in
.

fund. Committee asked if this $17,000 could be carried as revenue into the .
1988 budget, and used to pay for the Pavement Management Plan. Mayor Woodburn
discussed the budgeting philosophy of not carrying OVer unexpended funds, but
putting them into General Fund reserves.
Motion was made by Rautio, seconded by Nesset, that $6,350 be deleted in code
381, and Phase I of the street lighting plan not be implemented in 1988. Paul
Malone, who had chaired the Street Lighting Subcommittee as part of the Public
Safety/Works Committee, stated that the residents have been told during the
past year, whenever they inquired about street lights, that this plan was going
into effect in 1988 and their request would be considered at that time. Motion
carried, Shah opposed.
Storm Sewers (p. 34, 35) Exp. -2,000
Committee questioned larger amount budgeted in code 303, Engineering Fees. The
fees this year covered reconstruction of the Glenview storm sewer...any
engineering done on streets that is not included in a special project (such as
Hamline Avenue reconstruction). Committee also questioned code 437, Other
Miscellaneous Expenses. Raddatz explained that this covers expenses in cleaning
out the sewers. He explained that sediment has been building up in the pipes,
plus they plan to clean up the outflow areas as well. Costs are for concrete
block, catch basins, pipe, discharge covers, etc.
Committee concurred to reduce the budgeted amount for code 437 by $2,000.
Committee discussed the 509 Surface Water Management Plan previously .
described, Motion was made by Nesset, seconded by Rautio, that $20,000 be
added to the budget to finance this plan at a minimal level. Motion carried
unanimously. Investigation of the deadline for completion of this plan
revealed it to be October, 1989. Motion was made by McNiesh, seconded by
Rautio, that the $20,000 be stricken from the budget in 1988. Motion carried
unanimously.
Water Utility (p. 63, 64)
Raddatz stated that he had budgeted for replacement of the water van. He
proposes now to delay this purchase until 1989; at that time he would like to
purchase a larger cargo or step van (which would cost $25,000) in order to be
able to carry more equipment and supplies. (This change does not affect the
levy) .
Sewer Utility (p. '65, 66)
Motion was made by McNiesh, seconded by Rautio, that since the new jetter,
budgeted at $34,980 in 1987 and $31,800 in 1988, will be delivered well before
the end of 1987, the entire balance be paid in 1987. Motion carried
unanimously. (This also does not affect the levy, since these are enterprise
funds) .
Review of Administrative Accounts
Administrative Office Exp. -27,145
+ 3,500 .
Funds are budgeted for the addition of a Chief Financial Officer, at a total
cost of $35,000 ($28,000 to be charged to this account, the remainder to the

Sewer and Water Utilities). Horrison presented an alternate plan to the
Committee, which moved the present accounting clerk into a higher
classification, redistributed duties in the office, and added a clerk-typist,
at $6.00 per hour, which would cost $20,000 per year, with fringes and
benefits, (again charging part of the cost to the water and sewer utilities),
plus consulting costs with HcNiesh. She pointed out that the work load in the
office constantly increases, with 1988 bringing a major election as well, at
about the time the budget is being prepared. She also stated that there are
areas in her administrative functions on which she would like to be able to
spend more time; examples include preparing job description, procedure manuals,
training so jobs could be rotated, comparable worth studies, handling of
citizens concerns and complaints.
Motion was made by Rautio, seconded by Steele, that given the status of the
1988, funds for an additional employee be stricken from the proposed budget.
Nesset, speaking in favor of the motion, noted this, budget-wise, was not a
good year to add employees, and the proposal could be considered in 1989.
Steele noted that the additional tasks Morrison discussed would be desirable
objectives, but feels Committee does not have the sense of whether the Council
desires this; felt the direction for this should come from Council. Council
member Hansen stated that she felt the Administrative Office would be done a
disservice if this were stricken entirely from the budget, felt additional help
was needed; needs could perhaps be met with a part time receptionist-typist.
Motion carried (McNiesh opposed). Deleting the Finance Officer and PERA/FICA
. reduces code 107 $20,800, code 120 $2,445 and code 570 $3,900.
Motion was made by Stafford, seconded by Mertensotto, that a part time person,
at 25 hours per week, $7,500 for the year, be recommended. Motion failed
(Stafford, McNiesh, Mertensotto, Shah in favor, Erickson, Menze, Nesset,
Rautio, Steele opposed).
Motion was made by Erickson, seconded by Nesset, that $3,500 be added to the
budget for consulting service in 1988 by Charlotte McNiesh. Motion carried
unanimously.
Mavor and Council (p. 10, 11) Exp. -500
Morrison stated that $500 had been budgeted in code 351, Printing and
Publishing, for preparation and printing of a publicity brochure for the
Village, and this could probably be done for $200. Motion was made by Nesset,
seconded by Erickson, that $500 be deleted from the budget, on the basis that
such a brochure was unnecessary. Motion carried (McNiesh opposed).
Human Ri~hts Commission (p. 24, 25)
Committee had asked for statistics on Arden Hills' use of the Youth Services
Bureau. Winiecki stated that 51 individuals had used their services in 1986.
In 17 of these cases, at least 3 months of counselling ensued, with the
families involved as well. 28 were served by the employment program, 16
seniors in Arden Hills employed youngsters through the service, 6 youngsters
were guided through the restitution program. There are not clear statistics
. for 1987 as yet. Committee briefly discussed the possibility of this donation,
plus the Senior Van donation of $2,000, being funded from donations from
charitable gambling; Winiecki noted that the Youth Services Bureau had stated
they would not solicit funds from charitable gambling. No action was taken.

Municipal Land and Buildin~s (p. 55, 56) Exp. -45,000
This fund has been re-established in this budget to account for expenses in
purchase of the land adjoining the Public Works Building; $158,800 is levied in
1988 to cover the cost of parcel A. Motion was made by Erickson, seconded by
Nesset, that this levy be reduced $45,000 in 1988. Motion carried
unanimously.
$100,000 is levied for paying the PIR fund back for Hamline Avenue improvement
expenses. Committee briefly discussed reducing this levy. No action was
taken.
Swmnation
McNiesh, noting that the PIR fund is expected to generate interest of $84,200
in 1987, suggested this interest be used to balance the 1988 budget to the
extent that the cuts already recommended by the Finance Committee do not meet
the levy limit. Committee concurred with this suggestion, and recommends this
course of action be taken.
Adjournment
The meeting was adjourned at 12:50 a.m.

1. Delinquencies, Water Utility Bills: The Council, at the meeting of
September 14, requested I conduct a survey of some of the surrounding
comrn~nities to d~Lermine if they have a water shut-off policy and
penalties they may impose on delinquent accounts.
T~e Council do~s, as per attached Section 28-19(b) of the Code, have
the authority to discontinue water service for non-payment. It is my
understanding this has never been used.
I have called Shoreview, Mounds View, White Bear Lake, Falcon Heights,
New Brighton and Vadnais Heights; I have not heard from the last two
as yet. Summary of calls:
Shoreview: has no provision for shut-off and has no extra charge for
delinquent accounts which are certified.
. Mounds View: has provision for shut-off after 2 formal notices have
been sent (about 3 month time frame); also have provision for a
payment plan; and, charge 5% on certified accounts.
White Bear: does not shut off water on delinquent accounts, and does
not want to institute one due to administrative cost, and time and
difficulty in collection; charges 8% on certified accounts.
The Public Safety/Works Committee discussed this at their meeting of
September 24, which Bob Raddatz will report on.
2. Edgewater Estates: Attached is a copy of Orlyn Miller's response to
G. McGuire's attorney, together with background material, relative to
conveyance of Lot 23, as he discussed at the September 14 meeting.
3. Ramsey County Libraries: Attached is a notice of the upcoming RCLLG
meeting, as well as a notice for application to serve on the Library

Re: Edgewater Estates minneapolis, mn 55416

Mr. Keefer;
After receiving your letter of September 10, 1987, regarding the replat
of Edgewater Estates and the conveyance of proposed Lot 23, I reviewed
the matter with the City Council. Council members expressed concern
over the conveyance of a lot within the PUD to the U. S. Fish and Wildlife
Servi ce. The primary concern is that the USF&W Service may eventually
want to use the lot for increased public access to Round Lake, or use it
in some other manner contrary to the desires of the City and/or the
residents within the PUD. When the Council approved the PUD and plat,
it was their intention that the homeowners association would retain
ownership of the easement area as permanent open space.
As I discussed with you previously (letter of March 3, 1987), restrictive
covenants which would require that (1) the lot remain as permanent open
space, (2) the land not be used for general public access to the lake,
and (3) the location and design of any access trail be approved by the
City, might protect the City's interests. I have checked with Jim
. Lynden, the City attorney, and it is his opinion that such restrictive
covenants are enforceable against a Federal agency. However, Counc il
members remain concerned about conveyance of the land to a Federal
agency. Because approval of a revised plat is required, the Council
could prohibit the conveyance by refusing to create Lot 23.
'Regarding the proposed location of the access road, I have two comments.
First, I question the need for a looped trail; a single trail seems
adequate. Secondly, access to Lot 23 is shown across City-owned property.
A trail exists there, but if it is to be established as a permanent
access trail for the USF&W Service, City approval of an. easement would
be requ ired.
If you have any questions, please call. ,,\
Sincerely,
,

Re: Edgewater Estates 612 S44 7576
Bill :
In response to your letter of February 11, I have reviewed the Edgewater
Estates plans and P.U.D. permit. Lot 9 was used for density calculations
for the multiple portion of the project. The development plan also
proposed townhouse development on a portion of Lot 9; the remainder was
designated as permanent open space. Conveyance of a portion of Lot 9 to
the Fish and Wildlife Service would not seem to compromise the interests
of the City, in my opinion, provided that--
I. The land would remain as permanent open space;
2. The land would not be used for general public access to the lake; and
3. The access road would not be placed where it would encroach on the
privacy of residents or otherwise reduce the "livability" of Edgewater
Es tates.
The fact that Federal property is not subject to the City's ordinances
. may be of concern to the Council. However, I would think that control
of the future use' of the property could be ensured through appropriate
deed restrictions.
#,jpl Technically, conveyance of a portion of Lot 9 to the Fish and Wildlife
~.~)~'6 Service would require City approval of a minor subdivision. Because of
the unusual division of the lot, some variances related to lot dimensions
filiit f may be required. These, of course, cannot be determined until a plan of
j;fF . the subdivision is submitted. I would not anticipate problems with such
variances if the land would remain as permanent open space.
Frankly, Bill, the subdivision and conveyance of title to land seems to
be an extremely cumbersome approach to resolving a relatively minor
adjustment of an existing easement. I suspect that the Fish and Wildlife
Service's desire for better access to the lake has become a factor in
your negotiations with them.
Good luck, Bill! If you have any further questions, please call.

Re: Edgewater Estates
Dear Orlyn:
I have had an opportunity to meet with the United States
Department of the Interior, Fish and Wildlife Service to
discuss resolution of the easement question on Edgew~ter
Estates.
The suggestion was made that we convey a~title to
a portion of Lot 9, Block I in exchange for release of their
right of access over Lots 5, 6, 7 and 8, Block 1.
.
As part of the exchange, we will also have to convey a
small portion of Lot 14 consistent with a road access
presently being used for maintenance of the dam.
~ I would appreciate your comments and suggestions. The
Wildlife Service would retain a right to overflow to a
(I certain elevation.
/' I have asked the surveyor to give us some present elevations
so that we might determine the degree to which the lots
might be affected. The surveyor is also locating the
access road so that we will be sure that it is within the
area to be conveyed.
I don't believe that Lot 9 was used for any density require-
ments. I would appreciate your comments and suggestions
particularly on that-point.
Very tru Yo yours,
J. Keefer

RE: Edgewater Estates
Gen tlemen:
Enclosed you will find several documents relating to Edgewater Estates, Arden
Hills, Minnesota. The documents are as follows:
l. Proposed replat of Edgewater Estate.
2. Location of access road.
3. Sketch plan.
4. Correspondence from Orlyn W. Miller.
As shown on the preliminary plat, Edgewater Estates, Block 2, is being replatted
to reflect individual townhouse lots, with Lots 9 and 22 designated as Townhouse
Common Areas. Lot 23 on the preliminary plat corresponds to the easement in
favor of the United States Department of the Interior.

The location of access road shows the physical location of the access road
used to service the small dam on the westerly portion of the easement.
For purposes of computing open space, what is proposed to be Lot 23 has been
used in the computation~
Orlyn indicates in his correspondence dated March 3, 1987, that the interest
of the City would be served if a conveyance of Lot 23 were made to the Depart-
ment of the Interior with the restrictions indicated in his March correspondence.
My purpose in writing is to bring each of you up to date as to the progress
that has been made with respect to the development of Block I and 2 and to
request your thoughts as to a conveyance of Lot 23 to secure a release of
the easement that effects Lots 1 to 8 in Block 1 of the ,original Edgewater
Estates plat.
I hope the information that I am enclosing is helpful to you and would appreciate
your comments and suggestions.
. I am available on short notice to meet with you to discuss your comments and
hope that we can bring our request for an easement release to an early con-
clusion4
Of course, we understand that the right to overflow to a certain elevation will
,be retained by the Department of the Interior. Should it be felt by the Depart-
ment of the Interior that that requirement not be necessary, we would also appre-
ciate your comments on that so we may address it separately.
As an aside, I might comment that the preliminary plat recites as a name
"Edgewater Estates". I am assuming it will be called Edgewater Estates II
or something like that so as to not be confused with the existing Edgewater
Estates.
