(3-0) PUBLIC ro1MENTS REQUEST SI'REEI' Mayor Sather explained this matter will be discussed at a LIGHrS future meeting as the resident was not prepared to present the request at this time. GEESE PROBLEM; Mayor Sather asked if there was anyone present who wished lAKE JOHANNA to be heard. Tom Ludlow, 1515 Edgewater Avenue, explained the problems the residents in this area are experiencing due to the geese. He advised the number of geese increase each year and the ex=ement =eates an unhealthy abnosphere for residents. Ludlow stated the residents have tried various methcx1s to remove the geese from this area and have failed. He explained his wife directed a letter to the city in November 1989 and the response indicated the best time to deal with the geese is in the summer months. Ludlow questionai if the residents could initiate a "Hunter/stalker" approach to eliminate the geese from the area. He explained this methcxi =eates a hostile . envirorunent to discourage the geese from nesting. Ludlow des=ibed the methcxi involves stalking the family of geese to =eate an anxious atmosphere and discharging firearms, with blank loads, to =eate a fear of the area. He advised the second phase of the program would involve placement of several swan decoys on the lake; toth phases are necessary to deter the geese from nesting in the area. n -- , Minutes of the Arden Hills Regular Council Meeting, 4-9-90 Page 2 . GEESE (Cont'd) Mayor Sather stated this matter has been brought before Council for discussion on an arulUal basis by residents of . either lake Johanna or Josephine. He advised Ludlow it is illegal to discharge a firearm within the City lilnits and Council would not authorize this method to prohibit the geese fram nesting in this area. Sather explained lake Johanna and Josephine fall under the jurisdiction of Ramsey County and the city has tried to work with the County on various occasions to elllninate the problem. He expressed concern regarding a health hazard at the beach areas due to the geese ex=ement. The Mayor suggested stafr contact Ramsey County officials and the DNR to determine if the number of geese in this area pose a health risk within an urban environment. Joseph Kahnke, 1541 Edgewater Avenue, explained the number of geese nesting in this area in=eases every year. He expressed concern regarding the health hazard to children using the beaches and suggested the City make an effort to rid the lake area of the geese. Council con=red to direct staff to contact the Deparbnent of Natural Resources and Ramsey County officials to determine a method to remedy this problem.

He noted that HRS also received the bid for building demolition, which will provide some economy of skill and minilnize some problems in terms of phasing of the project. councilmember Malone questioned if the lump sum base bid is a compilation of the excavating, transporting and additional backfill. Darryl Ohman, Delta Evironmental, explained the lump Slll1l bid includes the . excavation, tank removal, backfill and disposal of the tanks.

He referred to Delta's letter which identifies the fact that one of the low bidders had been cited by MPCA, one did not return the citation form and it is not ]mown if the company has been cited for any reason and the third low quote is approx:iJnately 50% percent less than the average quote for the project. Berger explained he was informed by Kristi Jensen of Delta that given the complexity of the project, the quote receive:l by Environet, Inc. may not be sufficient to ensure quality completion of the project in a timely fashion. Couneilmember Malone asked a representative from Delta to outline the concerrlS regarding the Environet Inc. quote. Darryl Ohman and Kristi Jensen were present and explained that based on past . experience and discussions with other contractors it appears the average length of time to complete this project would be ten days. Jensen stated Environet est:iJnated the time of completion between three and four days; it appears they may not be taking all factors of the project into consideration. Attorney Filla questioned if the specifications on which the quotes were based were specific in identifying the need for electricity, lack of accessibility of potable water and the need for security. Jensen stated the need for electricity was specified several times in the specifications and was listed in bold print. Couneilmember Mahowald questioned what recourse the City will have in the event the job is unsatisfactory. Attorney Filla advised the City may request a performance borxi in the amount of the quote which will be utilized in the event the job is unsatisfactory. There was discussion relative to phasing of the demolition project. Malone moved, se=rxied by Mahowald, to award the bid for asbestos abatement to Environet, Inc., in the amount of $6,584. 00, contingent upon suhnission of a performance bond in the a:rrount of the bid being provided to the City on or before April 13, 1990, and that the Clerk Administrator is hereby authorized to award the bid to the next qualified bidder, Gynyx, Inc., in the . event Environet is unable to provide the performance bond.

The Planner explained the request is to a=mmodate a two-car garage on the site and he referr-ed council to a diagram of the proposed garage placement. He noted a survey of the adjacent lots determined the average front yard setback in this neighborhood to be 30 feet. Bergly stated the applicant has been working with an architect to firxi alternate solutions for garage placement, however, due to the lilnited building envelope and topography of the lot the garage placement is extremely difficult without some type of variance. The Planner advised the Board of Appeals arrl Planning COIlllllission recommended . denial of the variance based on the negative sight-line irrpact of the garage placement on the adjacent properties arrl preference of both bodies not to set a precedent with such a dramatic setback variance. Bergly reviewed an alternative plan for the garage placement which would require a 20 ft. setback (a 10 ft. variance). The Planner briefly des=ibed the residents concerns, as note::l in Planning minutes. After discussion Council con=ed that the requested variance is extreme and will negatively irrpact this area. councilmernbers expressed sympathy for the applicant working within the building envelope constraints and suggested an atte:rrpt be made toward placement of the garage at a location which is more in line with =ent zoning standards. Malone moved, seconded by Mahowald, to deny the Front Setback Variance application, Case #90-03, based on the following: 1. There is not an identifiable hardship, 2. Granting the variance will set precedent and unduly shorten the front setbacks generally established in this area, and, 3. Placement of the garage at this location will infringe on adjacent properties site-lines. Motion carried unanimously.

Bergly advised the Planning Corrnnission also recommended the island at the front of the store be removed to accormnodate traffic fleM, with the stipulation that the applicant provide landscaping on the island where the sign is to be located.

High"ay 96 Arden Hills, MN 55112 . Dear Gary, Thank you for allowing the Ramsey County Charter Commission to appear before the Arden Hills City Council at their regular Counci I meeting on April 3D, 1990. Enclosed are fifteen copies of the proposed Charter, fact sheets, and Council Resolution of support of our educational efforts for distribution to the Council and staff prior to the meeting. \.Ie wi 11 have a short slide presentation (8-10 minutes) and a Charter Commission member will he present to answer any questions the Councilor audience may have. \.Ie would then ask ~ that the Counci I pass a Resolution urging ci ty residents to become informed and vote on the Charter question in the November elenion. The Charter Commission "ould welcome a resolution of support for the Charter, but as a non-partisan Commission "hose role is to educate the public, we cannot advocate for support. This Resolution "ould then be sent to the local newspaper to begin the public educational campaign. lie will also ask for an in-kind contribution to be "orked out with staff . This would take the form of distribution of our fact sheet through a City ne"sletter or making information available to the public at a licensing desk or similar outlet. The volunteers of the Ramsey County Charter Commission have spent over t"o years creating this document for the people of Ramsey County and appreciate your assistance in bringing this important issue to them for their consideration on the November 6, 1990 ballot. Thank you becoming a part of this historic event. Sincerely, hant ~ Charter Coordinator ............. ~ RAMSEY OOUNTY OHARTER OOMMISSION ~ 356 COURT HOUSE l5 WEST KELLOGG BOULEYARD SAINT PAUL, MINNESOTA 55102 298-4lll This is the first home rule charter ever written for a county in the history of Minnesota. Some cities have home rule charters; they serve as a constitutional blueprint and allow more decisions to be made at the local level by elected officials. This is - the first time the State Legislature has allowed a county to draft a charter, and the voters will decide on adopting this county constitution at the November 6, 1990 general election. Yhat will the Charter change? 1. It Hill give the people the power to pass ordinances by Initiative, to vote on existing ordinances by Referendum, and to Reca II irresponsi ble elected officials. A valid .petition for these actions requires a specified percentage of the voters to sign the petition; currently this number in Ramsey County ~ would be 23,500; 2. It provides for professional management '.hich will lead to greater efficiency and effective use of county resources. Currently, the professional form of management can be changed by a vote of four county board members; 3. It gives limited bonding au thori ty with increased citizen participation through public hearings; 4. It provides for more direct citizen participation in decisions regarding park land transfers; 5, It requires coordination of county activities with local uni ts of government but does not change any powers local governments currently have; and 6. It allows the voters to change and amend the Charter to reflect changing needs in our society. The Charter recognizes that many things are working well in the county and has included these in the charter framework. In addition. some things will not change. ~ Vhat will not change? , .l. County Commissioners will be elected by districts for staggered terms; 2. The Sheriff and County Attorney will continue to be elected positions; - 3.

Supervisor SUBJECT: Completion of six Month Probationary Period - Pete Saxe - -------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------- Pete Saxe will be completing his six month probationary period on May 1, 1990. I met with Mr. Saxe this week to conduct his employee performance evaluation, which was very positive. I feel Pete has done an outstanding job for the Public Works Department since he started employment here on November 1, 1989. Because of Mr. Saxe's past utility installation work experience, and the similarity of these responsibilities within his present job description, his presence has had an immediate and positive impact on the City crew. I feel the city is fortunate to have Pete working for them. ~ RECOMMENDATION: Based on a very positive performance evaluation and a highly satisfactory probationary period, I recommend that Mr. Saxe move on to the next pay level. Mr. Saxe was hired at the 80% wage level, and is scheduled to go to 90% after six months (which would be $11.86 per hour). However, at this time, I recommend that Mr. Saxe go to 95% of full wages ($12.52/hour) . This rate increase was also done with Jim Perron. I feel that Mr. Saxe has been a tremendous asset to the P.W. Dept. , and his hard work ethics and experience should not go unnoticed. It should also be noted that this increase was budgeted for in this year's budget. ACTION REQUIRED: If Council concurs with the staff recommendation, they should pass a motion approving the permanent employment status of Pete Saxe, and increase his salary to 95% of the wage rate, which is $12.52 per hour, effective May 1, 1990.

I generally discussed the status of this matter with him and we walked the area of the pond. ~ He indicated the following: l. The original pond was designed by the City's Engineering firm. 2. The reconfigured pond was layed out by Mr. Ebensteiner's Engineers. However, the reconfigured pond design was recommended for approval by the City's Engineering firm on the condition that the pond elevation be lowered to 969.5. The pond was dredged to comply with this requirement. The reconfigured pond has not been fully shaped in the field. Mr. Ebensteiner was on site to complete this process last fall when some adjoining property owners asked him not to do any more excavation work. 3. Mr. Ebensteiner indicated to me that he would have his Engineering firm again calculate the storage oapacity of the pond in relationship to normal rain events. He hoped to have this information to me by April 27, 1990. However, as I diotate this correspondence I have not received the information. The pond does not have an outlet and the elevetion of the home on the north side of the pond is SuCh that it would be ~ flooded before the pond would overflow its natural boundaries. The most obvious outlet WOUld flow to the west and south over property owned by George Reiling.

D. FROM: (y. Gary R. Berger, City Administrator SUBJECT: Abandon~d Drums - Kem Milling site - -------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------------------- Attached is a proposal from Darrell Oman, Delta Environmental Consultants, Inc. , regarding abandoned drum disposal management at the Kem Milling site. As Council will note, this work was not included in the November 9, 1989, site demolition work plan, and estimated additional costs for this work will range from $4-$6,000. Mr. Oman will be present at the meeting to answer any Council questions on this matter. RECOMMENDATION: ~ Staff recommends the expenditure of additional funds to cover this work project. ACTION REQUIRED: If Council concurs with the staff recommendation, they should pass a motion authorizing an expenditure of up to $6,000 to: 1. Inventory the abandoned drums according to type, condition, and suspected contents. 2 . Segregate the drums to a more secure area on the site to facilitate continuation of the demolition activities. 3. Sample and chemically analyze individual drum contents. 4. Once drum contents are characterized, arrange for proper disposal of drums and contents. GRB:madlr attachment ~ .J . ~ A Delta Environmental ~..

Gary Berger Village of Arden Hills 1450 West Highway 96 Arden Hills, Minnesota 55112 Subject: Abandoned Drums KEM Milling Site Demolition Arden Hills. Minnesota Delta No. 10-89-385 Dear Mr. Berger: Delta Environmental Consnltants. Inc. (Delta) is actively managing the demolition activities involving asbestos, underground storage tanks CUSTs), and water wells. Abatement of asbestos- ~ containing materials was initiated on April 16. 1990 and essentially completed on April 25. Some preparatory demolition and UST removal activities were begun on April 25. The water well abandonment procednres are expected to begin on April 26. Dnring the conrse of these preparatory demolition activities. abandoned drums have been noted on the site. Most of the drums are empty, but some contain unknown solids or liqnids. As reported in the Environmental Assessment - Phase I report dated May 3, 1989, many of these steel and plastic drums were also noted during our site reconnaissance. The majority of these drums were assumed to contain wastewater treatment chemicals or boiler and steam-line chemicals. As the previous site owner was still in the process of closing down the facility operations and salvaging equipment and materials. it would not have been effective to inventory all drums or identify their contents at the time of the Phase I Environmental Assessment. For the same reasons, Delta did not prepare or conduct a drum inventory survey in the Phase II Environmental Assessment. Also, a drum survey was not proposed by Delta in onr site demolition work plan dated November 9, 1989 for the following reasons: 1. At the time of onr proposal, the previous site owner had uncontrolled access to the site and could remove or deposit materials at will. 2. It was assumed by Delta that chemicals. including the wastewater treatment and boiler/ steam-line treatment chemicals, would be salvaged by the owner and not abandoned. 3. The lack of site secnrity wonld not prevent unwanted dumping or vandalism. As Delta is contracted by the Village of Arden Hills to provide project management and guidance ~ to the contractors involved in asbcstos abatement, UST removals. and water well abandonment, it is our obligation to minimize the potential liabilities associated with this entire project. Practical Solutions to Environmental Concerns . \. Mr. Gary Berger ~ Delta No. 10-89-385 April 26, 1990 Page 2 Although Delta is not specifically authorized to provide abandoned drum disposal management, we recommend additional funds be allocated to: 1. Inventory the abandoned drums according to type, condition, and suspected contents, 2. Segregate the drums to a more secure area on the site to facilitate continuation of the demolition activities. 3. Sample and chemically analyze individnal drum contents. 4. Once drum contents are characterized. arrange for proper disposal of drums and contents. These tasks would supplement the scope of work presented in the November 9, 1989 work plan. Delta would utilize one or possibly two subcontractors to complete these tasks. The estimated cost range will depend upon the final determination of waste eharacteril.ation and the number of drums which mnst be disposed of. Tt is our opinion the additional estimated costs associated with this work will range from $4,000.00 to $6,000.00. Delta will continue to provide subcontractor management for the UST removals. water well ~ abandonments. and asbestos abatement. These activities must also be coordinated with the general demolition activity. Delta feels strongly that proper handling and disposal of the abandoned drums is in the best interest of the Village of Arden Hills. Timely coordination of the drum handling and disposal will allow other site demolition activities to continue as scheduled. If you have any questions regarding the abandoned drums, or the recommended handling or disposal procedures, please call me at 636-2427. Sincerely. Jl::~&::ULTAN" me arn:,ll J.
