I have not been able to locate any recorded or unrecorded easements for . the area of the existing drainage pipe. It is my understanding that the City may have installed the current drainage pipe and that it has been in existence fOr more than 15 years. In addition, the City has occasionally maintained the dra:l.nage pipe. Based upon those facts, the City in my judgment, has acquired a prescriptive easement over the area of the ourrent drainage pipe. The prescriptive easement allows the City to cOntinue to use and maintain the drainage pipe in its present location. 'l1he City could replace the pipe in that location. If the City were to enlarge or alter the route of the existing drainage pipe, it would have to acquire additional easement rights. If you have any questions, please contact me.

In regard to the prooedural issues raised in those documents, r offer the following comments: . l. It was my understanding that the Counc~l had opened and closed the public hearing on this project and tabled action on the adoption of the assessment roll until July 13, 1992. However, the notices which were sent to the property owners did indicate that they would be given an additional opportunity to comment on the assessments priOr to the adopt~on of the assessment roll. Although accepting additional corrunents is not legally required, it might be apPI'opriate in this particular case. 2. As I sat at the Counoil Meeting, I was assuming that all Council Members had oopies of the memo prepared by Counc:il Member Malone relating to objections raised by various property Owners. It would have been better if the aotion taken by the Council on July 13, 1992, had included a discussion of Council Member Malone's determinat~ons, or in the alternative, if the memo had at least been incorporated in the action of the City Council. . ---.- SB~T BY'PETERSON FRAM BERGMAN: 7-17-82 :10:45AM ;PETERSON FRAM BERGMA~ ;# 3/ , . . ~ . Catherine lago July 17, 1992 Page 2 1 apologize for not being more alert ~n bringing this item to the attention of the City Council before action was taken on the assessment roll. I would recommend that this matter be placed on the Council Agenda for additional review and receipt of comments from the public and that members be given at least ten days mailed notice before the additional meeting. In the meantime, any assessment re8olut~on which was adopted should not be submitted to the County Auditor. If you have any questions, please contact me.

Iago, 1\Cting Clerk 1\dmi.nistrator Jerry Filla, City Attorney FRaI:@) Terry Post, TEIIIpOrary city 1lcooUntant SUBJECT: Charitable Gambling ordinances BACKGROUND : At the June 29 Council meeting, no action was taken on staff recommendations to amend the Charitable Gambling Ordinance and discussion was continued to the July 20 Council Worksession. In the intervening three weeks, there was a July 10 information meeting between staff and the seven charitable gambling organizations. 'Ibis meeting was not as productive as had been hoped and discussion focused al1nost entirely on a definitional issue. The organizations generally . take the position that the detennination of "net profit" allows for the subtraction of taxes paid. CUrrent ordinance language on this subject is quite clear in defining net profit as being "gross profit less reasonable SUIlIS actually expended for allowable expenses." Definitions for "allowable expense" and "gross profit" in the =ent ordinance make no reference to taxes paid. 'Ibis interpretation of the "net profit" definition by the organizations also :i1rpacts the amount of required trade area spending. The organizations generally view the amount required to satisfy the 50 percent net profit expenditure requirement to be less because of the lower net profit amount the 50 percent factor is calculated against. OIHER CONSIDERATIONS: 'lhe City was advised this week of the June 30 expiration of the premises permit at Flaherty's Arden Bowl for the American Business Women's Arden Hills lady Slipper Chapter. The Gambling Control Board infomed the organization that they may no longer con1uct lawful gambling at this premises. If this organization opts to renew the premises permit, the City must approve the permit application prior to final approval by the GalIlbling Control Board. What are the City's permit renewal policy and procedures? By approving . a renewal premises permit application to the state, is the city effectively approving the way past net profit contribltion and trade area expenditures payments have been calculated and made? , \ . Charitable Gambling Ordinances Page '!:Wo ISSUES : 1. It appears that the level of corrpliance with the City's =ent charitable Gambling Ordinance is quite low with respect to calculating "net profit" for 10 percent contribution and 50 trade area spending requirements. 2. As various charitable gambling organizations go through the premises pennit renewal process, is it possible to give the organization a "clean bill of health" and approve the application without first resolving issue No. I? 3. It appears that the City could devote more resources toward monitoring, reviewing, and auditing charitable gambling activities than it has in the past. 4. How does the city comparatively value the 10 percent net profit cOntribution and trade area spending requirements. Equally? One more important than the other? 5. It has recently been suggested that the City use future gambling contribution pr=eeds to establish an endowment to permanently . subsidize a level of future park and recreation programs. The 1992 Budget called for transferring out 36 percent to the General FUnd, 52 percent to the Program FUnd, and 12 percent to the Municipal Land and Buildings FUnd. Is there some philosophical direction from Council on the planned use of 1993 and later charitable gambling contribution payments to be received by the City? REm1MENDATIONS: 1. Depending upon what Council intent is with respect to an operating definition of "net profit", either: a. Amend the Ordinance to reflect this new definition; or b. Consider adopting any or all of the staff reconunendations presented at the June 29 Council meeting . 2. strive for consistency and fairness in dealing with all of the charitable gambling organizations.

'Ihe "Special Notice" pertains to advising residents in advance of the additional fee for the drinking water testing program that will be inposed beginning third quarter 1992.

Following discussion at the July 20, 1992 Council work session, it is apparent that directing storm water runoff to the east toward property owned by the Lake Johanna Beach Club is the preferable . option. I have contacted the Club's president, Mr. Dave Plummer, regarding any necessary easement acquisition and he will be present at the City Council meeting. Following the close of the public hearing, it would be appropriate for the Council to consider the attached resolution. This resolution orders preparation of plans and specifications to direct runoff to the east. The estimated project cost for this work is $30,000. The plans and specifications would be presented for approval and advertisement for bids in August 1992. I will be in attendance at the July 27, 1992 City Council meeting.

Councilmember Malone reminded that the appraiser has determined that a $1,500 per lot assessment would be justifiable to benefiting lots. He commented that in viewing the topographical maps of the Keithson area, it appears that lots on the eastern side of the street contribute about 50% of their drainage to Keithson pond, lots on the western side of the street contribute 100% of their drainage to the pond, and one lot on the northeast contributes about 25% of its drainage. In light of this observation, he suggested that the western lots (except for the one at the north end) be assessed at 100%, eastern lots and the most northwestern lot at 50%, and the one north lot at 25% of $1,500. Councilmembers Mahowald and Hicks concurred. MOTION: Malone moved, seconded by Hicks, to determine that the Keithson Pond project provides the following benefits in storm water run-off, and assessments are to be run over a five year period and calculated on the basis of 100% being equal to $1,500 per lot. - 100% benef it ($1,500 assessment) to lots with addresses 4527, 4521, 4509, 4503 Keithson Drive; . - 50% benefit ($750 assessment) to lots with addresses 4504, 4510, 4516, 4522, 4528, 4534, 4539 Keithson Drive; - 25% benefit ($375 assessment) to lot with address 4540 Keithson Drive. Motion carried unanimously (4-0). Council questioned when construction would begin. Engineer Maurer stated the City has the right of entry to begin proceeding with the work upon notification of the contractor. Attorney Filla concurred. UNFINISHED AND NEW BUSINESS ORDINANCE 288 - DEVELOPMENT MORATORIUM City Planner Bergly advised that after several months of discussion, the Planning Commission has recommended that Council adopt a development moratorium, via adoption of Ordinance 288, for a one-year period in order to provide time for a comprehensive review of the City's zoning regulations. MOT ION: Malone moved, seconded by Hicks, to adopt Ordinance 288 Establishing a City-Wide Development Moratorium for one . year. Motion carried unanimously (4-0). ------- -..------ ---.--- . Arden Hills Council 7 July 13, 1992 2) The developer needs additional time to repay debt . incurred to construct the project. Attorney Filla drew attention to the fact that the language requires the developer must meet both requirements. Councilmember Malone commented that the interim use agreement appears to match Council's intent. Mayor Sather asked what would happen if financing for this project falls through. Fill a responded that the developer must satisfy the terms and conditions of the agreement within 60 days or must comply with the City's ordinances (including development moratorium) unl ess Council excludes this issue from the moratorium. MOTION: Malone moved, seconded by Hicks, to authorize the Mayor and City Administrator to execute the Interim Use Agreement between the City and Dennis FosterjWhat-A- Racquet Sports Club. Motion carried unanimously (4-0). MOTION: Malone moved, seconded by Hicks, to approve the site plan (Case 92-09) for Dennis FosterjWhat-A-Racquet Sports Club, subject to execution of the Interim Use Agreement. Motion carried unanimously (4-0) . . Councilmember Hicks commented that in discussions with the developer, the developer has suggested 8% park dedication fees, and delaying payments until December, 1992 with prime rate interest. Hicks added that the land value, as determined by the developer's appraiser is $420,000. Hicks stated that he would prefer a 10% park dedication fee but would be agreeable to delayed payments with prime rate interest. Council concurred. Councilmember Malone commented that although the What-A- Racquet building is to be a recreational use, it is also a profit business, and is therefore subject to park dedication in the same manner as any other building permit. RESOLUTION 92-46 ACCEPTING BID 1992 COLD IN PLACE RECYCLING PROJECTS Engineer Maurer stated there were three bids received July 9, 1992, on the 1992 Street Cold In place Recycling Improvements, of which the lowest bid was $82,948.10 from Ashbach Construction. He added that this low bid is 30% under the engineer's estimate, and that bidder has received good references from Ramsey County and the State of Minnesota for similar work done in those jurisdictions. . :;~ {i l ~: ... -.-- . . .
