Also present were: Community Planning Coordinator, Brian Fritsinger; Public Works Superintendent, Dan Winkel; City Administrator, Dorothy Person; and Recording Secretary, Renee Kaulfuss. ADOPT AGENDA MOTION: Hicks moved, seconded by Malone, to adopt the February 14, 1994 agenda as presented. Motion carried unanimously (5-0) . APPROVAL OF COUNCIL MINUTES . Councilmember Probst referred to the Council minutes from the regular Council meeting of January 31, 1994 and asked that the motion passed on Page 5 with regard to the change in the zoning ordinance be discussed separately, since it was not his intention to agree to the motion as drafted. Following the Council meeting of January 31, 1994, he discussed this with staff who in turn discussed this with the City Attorney, which resulted in staff drafting an amendment which clarified the motion. Probst suggested that Council consider an amendment to this motion. Council concurred to discuss this matter later in the meeting. Councilmember Malone noted that on Page 4, at the paragraph starting with "Councilmember Probst", the reference to the R-4 district should be amended to read R-1 district; and on Page 10, the first paragraph referring to the excess liability, to strike the last sentence in this paragraph as the meaning is not understandable. Probst moved, seconded by Aplikowski, to approve the minutes of the January 20, 1994 Worksession Meeting, and the January 31, 1994 Regular Council Meeting as corrected. Motion carried unanimously (5-0) . . - -- -------- Arden Hills Council 2 February 14, 1994 .

Approve Arden Hills!Shoreview/TCAAP Sanitary Sewer Connection agreement. d. Approve List of Claims/Payroll. PUBLIC COMMENTS There were no public comments. UNFINISHED AND NEW BUSINESS REOUEST FROM THE CITY OF RED WING TO SUPPORT NSP STORAGE AT PRAIRIE ISLAND Councilmember Probst stated he had difficulty with the . Council taking any action on this request. This request did not seem like an appropriate issue for the City of Arden Hills' Council to take action on. councilmember Probst suggested that no action be taken by the Council on this request. Councilmember Malone commented that in reference to the packet information, the State in general benefits from the use of nuclear power by NSP in that the people want inexpensive electrical power and this is one way to do it. This issue gets into an area of expertise that is typically beyond what he believes local governments should be involved. Malone further stated that this is not a local government problem, except to the extent that Red Wing could lose revenues from the loss of the plant. He agreed however, that local governments do have a responsibility regarding the topics of energy and energy pr6duction. Councilmember Malone further stated he does not personally have sufficient background to determine whether or not the plan by NSP to do the storage on-site is, in fact, the best plan. Councilmember Aplikowski stated prairie Island is the forerunner and seems responsible in their actions, and she would have no problem supporting the proposed . resolution. Arden Hills Council 3 February 14, 1994 . Councilmember Hicks stated the legislature is dealing with the issue, and believed there is not enough information to determine if this is the right alternative. Hicks further commented that whatever the Council would decide wouldn't playa major factor in the whole decision. Mayor Sather suggested that based on the information available, the City of Arden Hills should support the request from Red Wing as, one day, the City of Arden Hills in turn may request support from local municipalities regarding our issues, for instance, the arsenal property. MOTION: Aplikowski moved, seconded by Hicks to accept the request from the City of Red Wing and issue our support to them. Councilmember Probst stated he sees this issue as somewhat different than the arsenal property issue and will vote against the motion before the bench. It is not a political issue, and a matter that should be dealt with by people who are equipped to make sound, rational judgements as to the safety of this type of storage. . Councilmember Malone stated he would vote nay to this motion. He further offered a possible motion if the motion before the bench would fail. He empathized with the situation before the City of Red Wing. He urges regulatory bodies and the legislature to take the politics out of this, and deal with the facts and best engineering practices that can be determined, resisting extreme political pressures from both sides. He urges all involved to try as much as possible to ignore the voices of the special interest groups and deal with the facts with the best engineering practices available. Motion failed (1-4) . Aplikowski voted aye. MOTION: Malone moved, seconded by Hicks, that the City empathizes with the difficult situation that the City of Red Wing is currently in with the potential closure of the NSP plant within their jurisdiction, and urges the regulatory bodies and the legislature to try as much as possible to take the politics out of this and work with the facts of the issue, reaching a reasonable conclusion with regard to the storage of the spent fuel (drycast) based on best engineering practices available without concerns for the politics of the subject. . Arden Hills Council 4 February 14, 1994 . Motion carried unanimously (5-0) . ADMINISTRATOR COMMENTS: Administrator Person stated the City has received notification from the Union negotiation group that the Union is requesting arbitration proceedings. The Council agreed to a closed meeting on February 28, 1994 to discuss further this request and other negotiation items, either at 5:30 pm or 6:00 pm. MOTION: Malone moved, seconded by Hicks that the Council schedule a special and closed meeting of the City Council on Monday, February 28, 1994 at 6:00 pm for the purpose of discussing labor negotiations. Motion carried unanimously (5-0) . Administrator Person noted for public record that Jim Brimeyer, who will be facilitating the meeting with the environmental groups regarding TCAAP, has requested to meet informally with the City Council. This would allow all parties to become reacquainted, and if any issues need to be addressed before the meeting, this would be an opportune time to address any issues. Person also referred to a draft copy of a letter in the . packet to Fort McCoy regarding the retrocession issue. Person is" asking the Council for their feedback. The City recently received a request from the Governor's office for an update. Councilmember Malone stated staff could direct a letter that states that the City will agree to retrocession if we can agree to a fair trade-off such as use of the facility for Park & Recreation programs and an election polling location. Secondly, a dollar amount should be reached to project the cost for fire and police protection. A fair comparison may be to determine a similar sized square footage, value the square footage based on an office warehouse, calculate the tax capacity, and approximately one half of this figure should be a reasonable assumption of the cost to provide these services to the Army Reserve each y~ar. Council concurred. Councilmember Malone asked staff if the Army Reserve is being charged a standby fee. A fee for service could be charged to the Army Reserve on a "utility" type billing. Staff will review and respond back to the Council whether the Army Reserve is charged a standby fee. . Arden Hills Council 5 February 14, 1994 . Person also noted that the second issue regarding retrocession was the request for a contract between the City and the Army Reserve. In past discussion, the City was told that the Army Reserve cannot enter into written agreements. Person recently received a copy of an agreement between the Department of TCAAP and the Spring Lake Park Fire Department. She will forward this agreement to Fort McCoy for their review. Council indicated a willingness to agree to conditions, at least to begin with, through a Letter of Understanding. Person asked if the Council would like to set a date for an informal strategic planning meeting. Council concurred to direct the Administrator to set .a date for sometime in March. COUNCIL COMMENTS: Councilmember Hicks noted he will be unable to attend the March Planning Commission meeting. Councilmember Probst stated he would attend the meeting and update the Planning Commission members on the TCAAP issue. . Councilmember Malone asked if staff would be responding to the request from the resident to erect a street sign at Edgewater and Prior Avenue. Mr. Winkel stated the Public Works/Safety Committee is working on a policy to address this issue. Staff will notify the resident and the Council of the recommendation for the policy. Council indicated that the policy should guide the Public Works Superintendent in his decision making process. Councilmember Malone commented that on the Fire Department's annual report it was noted that the City's fire losses in 1993 were approximately $340,000. The fire on 14th Street was noted four (4) times. Mr. Winkel stated that there are four different apartments within this building and the contents from each of those apartments were taken into account. Councilmember Malone commented that the budget document was excellent. It is readable and clear to the public. This work was greatly appreciated. Councilmember Malone noticed that a request for grant funding from the DNR had been made by Cindy Severtson for redevelopment of Perry Park. Malone noted that the Council should be aware of any request of a grant prior to any actual submission. Person stated this is in a . very preliminary state, and the City has the option to turn the grant down at the time of any offer. Arden Hills Council 6 February 14, 1994 . Councilmember Malone stated that the grant response from the State Committee for Cooperation and Innovation regarding TCAAP was one of the least informative documents he has seen. This was supposed to give reasons why the grant was denied and the document was very unclear to the reasons for denial. Councilmember Malone brought to the Council's attention the cost of using recycled paper for the City's stationary and envelopes. The Council believed the cost differential to non recycled paper was minimal and did not outweigh the recycling effort. The Council supported the recycling efforts. Councilmember Probst commented that he supported staff's initiative in looking for grant application opportunities. Councilmember Probst noted he attended the RCLLG meeting for newly elected councilmembers and found it very worthwhile. Councilmember Probst referred to his suggestion made earlier in the meeting regarding the motion previously passed pertaining to Ryder Student Transportation. . MOTION: Councilmember Probst moved, seconded by Malone to reconsider the motion that was passed regarding modification of the zoning ordinance as related to Ryder Student Transportation (Planning Case #93-15) Motion carried unanimously (5-0) . MOTION: Councilmember Probst moved, seconded by Malone to amend and clarify the motion adopted on January 31, 1994 in regards to the request from Ryder Student Transportation, Planning Case #93-15 to read as follows: 1. Amend the Land Use Plan as part of the Comprehensive Plan to reflect a "low density residential" rather than "industrial" use at 1901 West County Road F. 2. Direct staff to prepare a proposed ordinance for review by the Planning Commission which would amend the following objectives: A. The Land Use Chart be amended to create a new use of Bus Terminal and that under an . R-l district bus terminals be allowed by Special Use Permit. ---- Arden Hills Council 7 February 14, 1994 . B. Section II, D of the zoning ordinance be amended to define a bus terminal; "A bus terminal shall be defined as a building or space engaged in the transportation and activities associated with the transportation of students within the local school district." C. Section X, Special Provisions be amended to add the following H. Bus Terminals: . A bus terminal site must be located within three hundred (300) feet of an existing school. .

Eliminate the contingency clause which made the original motion (of January 31, 1994) subject to all parties reaching agreement on the conditions for the Special Use Permit. Motion carried unanimously (5-0) . MOTION: Hicks moved, seconded by Malone to deny the rezoning request for Ryder Student Transportation, Planning Case #93-15 from the R-l to the B-2 zoning district. Motion carried unanimously (5-0) . Councilmember Probst noted that the Administrator had tracked down the history of how annexations took place in the City of Arden Hills. The TCAAP property was included as part of the original establishment of the community in 1951. Mayor Sather noted that he spoke with Commissioner Wedell. Commissioner Wedell had been in contact with Judge Coleman who was concerned about the lack of progress in the anticipated use of TCAAP property. The Ramsey County Judges are eager to begin construction of a Court's facilities for the northern Ramsey County area. Councilmember Probst . will contact Commissioner Wedell in the near future. ----- Arden Hills Council 8 February 14, 1994 .

EN\1IRONtAENrA( RE: SURFACE WATER MANAGEMENT FEE APPEAL .lvlUNIC!PM TOWNHOUSE VILLAGES OF ARDEN fiLLS Dear Mr. Winkel: PlANNING SiRUCTURA[ As requested, I have prepared correspondence to summarize my thoughts relative to the . surface water management fee appeal from the Townhouse Villages of Arden Hills. It is my understanding that all of the townhouse zoned (R-3) property within the City of Arden Hills SURVEYING is already developed. In other words, there are no vacant portions of property zoned R-3 which may be developed to a much higher density in the future. Based on this, it would be TRAFFIC my recommendation that if the City desires a reduction in the fee for the R-3 zoning, it be accomplished by adjusting the acreage rate by recalculating the density of the existing iRANsrC,HA~fON townhome developments. I would recommend against just prorating the charge based on actual density versus theoretical density multiplied by the current rate, because this may open . the City up to similar objections from commercial or industrial properties which are not developed to the highest density allowed by the statute. In order to recalculate the rate per acre for R-3 zoning, a couple of different options could be utilized. One would be to prorate the amount of impervious surface from the existing townhome developments versus a theoretical single family residential lot, thus comparing the single family rate to the townhome rate based on increased runoff. The second method would be to simply establish a ratio between the single family rate and the townhouse rate, 1326 En!!rgyPark Drive such as a I; I \4 or 1:!Ih times. Should you wish to use the first alternative, the SI. Poul, MN 551 08 Homeowners' Association has provided some information relative to impervious surface in 61 z.644.4389 their sub mittal to the City Council. Their submittal indicated they felt their development Fox: 61z.644.9446 contributed approximately 30% more runoff per acre than a single family home, using impervious surface as a basis. One method would be to simply multiply the single family . 9800 Shelard Parkway rate of $3.98/unit by 130% and arrive at a rate of $5.17/urrit for townhomes.

As requested, we have completed a brief analysis of the options available for sanitary sewer service to the TCAAP site. Attached is a brief report summarizing our findings. It appears 5~R~'C~~A, clear from our analysis that the proposed interim sewer solution to construct an interceptor from TCAAP to Mounds View is not only the best short term solution, but also the best long .s',y,"c term alternative for the future redevelopment of the TCAAP property. ,,'..," ,,~v ~,~~,F"'~ Our discussions with MWCC staff indicate that the interceptor serving the TCAAP property does, in fact, meet their criteria for a Metropolitan interceptor. There is the potential that i?J},s~:;r4 ;~~' they could take the interceptor over in its current configuration of 21 -inch diameter pipe designed to serve TCAAP for the short term. There is also the potential for the City to over- size the line at this time to provide capacity for the future redevelopment of the property. It is questionable whether MWCC would reimburse the City of Arden Hills for the over- sizing cost at this time, since there is no definite time frame for the redevelopment of the TCAAP property and the utilization of this extra capacity. We would recommend that the City of Arden Hills let the U.S. Army construct the interceptor as proposed. After construction, the Metropolitan Council and the MWCC should be requested to take over ownership of the interceptor. If this can be accomplished 1326 Energy Pork Drive at the present time, the interceptor would be available for future redevelopment of the St. Po;l, MN 55108 TCAAP property. An interceptor of 1,000 gallons per minute capacity would allow the 61H4H389 redevelopment of approximately 500 to 600 acres prior to needing additional capacity. If the interceptor is in MWCC's ownership at that time, it would seem they would be obligated Fox: 612-64<\.9446 to provide the additional interceptor capacity in the future. . 9800 Shdord Parkway Minneapoti" MN 55441 612.546-0432 Fox: 612-544.6398 --------- .

While I appreciate the efforts of the Public W::lrks/Safety Ccmnittee to address this issue, I believe that the process as outlined nay be a bit cumbersome to administer, and offer the follCMing ccmrents. Even though the policy was written because of a stop sign installation request it seems that this procedure could be used for all traffic sign installations or rerrovals. A request by Council to add or rerrove a sign should be included to the policy . . I also have concerns ab:Jut section B under procedures. I do not believe it is necessary to always conduct a poll of the affected residents or businesses. The Public Works Superintendent should be able to review the needs and =iteria necessary to install or rerrove a sign. Part of the review nay include notifying some affected property CMI1ers if some opposition can be detected. If necessary, the Superintendent can review the issues with other staff members, and/= the City Administrator to help make a final reccmrendation. The City Administrator can rrake an independent review to verify facts. If the requesting parties are not satisfied with staffs final decision, than an appeal should go to Council. m:to . . PROCEDURE FOR APPROVAL ANJ;l INSTALLATION OR REMOVAL OF A STOP SIGN, WHERE A STOP SIGN IS NOT REQUIRED BY LAW, ON A STREET BELONGING ONLY TO THE CITY OF ARDEN HILLS. I. Conditions that must be met for stop sign to be considered A. Location must meet legal warrants B. Sign must be requested in writing to the Public Works Department, by i. Resident of Arden Hills ii. A staff member of Arden Hills, e.g. , Engineer, Director of Parks and Recreation II. Procedure A. Upon receiving written request, Public Works Superintendent will investigate the merits of the request and make a recommendation to the City Council within 2 weeks after the request is received. The recommendation will include reasons for or against the requested installation. It will also include the number of residences/businesses that the Public Works Director estimates will be affected by the installation of a new stop sign. (This number will vary accordingly to configuration of the neighborhood and the site of the proposed stop . sign. ) B. If the Public Works Superintendent decides the request has merit and recommends installation of a stop sign at the said location, the City Council shall conduct a mail poll of 100% of the affected residences/businesses, asking whether the respondent is in favor or not in favor of a new sign at the proposed location. The mailing must state that the respondent must return the card with a yes or no answer within 14 days of its receipt. If 70% of those polled return a tlyesfl answer the City Council shall, at its next Council meeting, order installation of the sign. Such installation shall meet the requirements of the Minnesota Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices. C. If the recommendation of the Public Works Superintendent is to not install a new stop sign: i. The City Council may request more information from. the Public Works Department,. the City Engineer, or other knowledgeable parties before making a final decision. ii. The City Council may accept the recommendation. It shall then notify the requesting party about its decision in writing and shall tell the party that he/she . can appeal the decision at the Council meeting. - - --------------.- .

As you know, the property consists of prirrarily Type III and/or Type IV wetland. Due to its wetland delineation, the soil conditions present may make it difficult but not necessarily impossible to develop. The Park and Recreation Chnnittee has discussed the situation and lM:JUld be happy to receive the land in the event it was designated by Council to be park land. There may be a possibility of linking portions of the land into our trail system. Should the Council decide to accept this property, I lM:JUld recanrend . rerroving the tennis court following an assessment of the area when the S11CM rrelts. Staff has confirrred with Mr. Sheehy that he has no objections to rerroving the tennis court. He confirrred that the court is in p:lOr shape. He also stated that water does =casionall y flow over and rmder the tennis court. As stated in the January 10 rrerro, the estimated in-kind labor cost to the City for derrolishing the tennis court is between $1,500-$2,000.

Avuue North St. Paul, MN 5512e.aou League of Minnesota Cities (612) 490-5600 OPEN MEETING LAW DEFENSE COST RBtKBORSEMENT COVERAGE NOW AVAILABLE BeginnIng November 15, 1993, LMCIT is offering an new Open Meeting Law Defense Cost coverage. This optional coverage will reimburse city officials for 80% of the legal costs they incur to defend themselves if they are charged with violating the Open Meeting Law. This new coverage is quite different from anything LMCIT (or anyone else, for that matter) has done before. We'll try in this memo to answer some of the questions that will come up when city officials are deciding whether this coverage makes sense for their city. I. Why is this ~.e4ed1 DO.s~'t our existing LMCIT ooverage apply to Open Meeting Law claims1 . Generally, no. The LMCIT liability coverage is designed to respond to claims for damages. The Open Meeting Law doesn't provide for damages; it provides for a $100 civil penalty, and loss of office for repeated violations. Fines and penalties are not "damages" for purposes of the liability coverage, and LMCIT therefor generally has no duty to get involved in defending Open Meeting Law charges under the liability coverage. The only exception is if the Open Meeting Law charge is combined with a claim for damages that is covered under the liability coverage. For instance, if an employee brought a wrongful termination action against a city, the employee might also charge that there was a violation of the open meeting law as part of the termination process. In that case, LMCIT would be responsible for defending the entire litigation - the Open Meeting Law charge as well as the covered liability claim. But an Open Meeting Law charge by itself is not a claim for damages, and the LMCIT liability coverage would therefor not respond. II. Why provide coverage for this type of exposure1 One of LMCIT's member cities asked the Trust Board to consider adding this kind of coverage. The request grew out of an . instance in which several council members incurred very substantial legal bills defending themselves against an Open Meeting Law charge. ~O'd POO'ON 05:31 P6 5~ qa.:l 9896-061i-319:l31 S3IIIJ NN .:10 3n9~3l ~ - .-. ....- , \ The Trust Board recognized that defending an Open Meeting Law . charge can cost a city official a lot of money. Defense costs are often the most significant financial consequence of these lawsuits. While the statutory penalty of $100 might be relatively minor, defense costs can easily run to thousands of dollars. And those costs are incurred whether or not the official is ultimately found to have violated the law. The Board acted on the assumption that most violations of the law are inadvertent and may even be on the advice of an attorney. The Board also realized that is easy for somebody to make an accusation of an Open Meeting Law violation, forcing the city council member to expend significant sums to defend him/herself regardless of the merits of the allegation. The threat of that kind of litigation could even be used as a tactic to intimidate or coerce council members in some cases. Finally, the Board assumed that most city councilmembers act in good faith and try to comply with the law. But sometimes even these best faith efforts are not enough to head off an Open Meeting Law lawsuit. Iii. Why Should public funds be Used to pay for defending someone who actually d1d violate the open Meeting Law? Doesn't this encourage city officials to violate the law? The legislature has spelled out in the statute what the . penalties are for violating the law: a $100 civil penalty, potential loss of office for repeated viOlations, and possibly an award of the plaintiff'S attorneys' fees in some cases. If the individual has to pay for his/her own defense costs as well, the real monetary penalty to the individual can be many times greater that the penalty the legislature provided in the statute. And how much those defense costs are may not have much relation to how serious the viOlation was. If more serious penalties are needed to deter violations, the legislature can change the statutes. That makes more sense than relying on defense costs as a kind of hidden penalty that might be wildly disproportionate to the seriousness of the offense, and are incurred even if there Was no offense. IV. Why is the coverage optional? Why not simply provide it as a standard part of the liability coverage? The LMCIT Board recognized that there are good public policy reasons why a city might want to protect its officials from this risk. But the Board also recognized that some cities might consider it inappropriate to use their taxpayers' funds for this purpOse. Making the coverage optional lets each city make this call for itself. . ~O'd POO'ON OS:ZT v6 SC qaj 9896-06P-ZT9:l31 33111J NW ~O 3n9~3l J ... . V. What does the open Heetinq Law Defense Cost Reimbursement Agreement oover? Under the new coverage, LMCIT will reimburse a city official for 80% of the defense cost incurred by the city official in defending an open Meeting Law lawsuit. The Open Meeting Law Defense Costs Reimbursement Agreement is limited to $20,000. This is the most LMeIT will reimburse anyone city official for defense costs for Open Meeting Law lawsuits commenced during the term of the coverage agreement, regardless of the number of lawsuits or the number of actual alleged violations. VJ:. what doesn't it oover? There are two major kinds of costs for Which this coverage would not reimburse the official: 1- Any fine or penalty for violating the open meeting law. 2. Any award that orders the city official to pay for the opposing party's attorney's fees. . As an example, suppose a newspaper is successful in bringing an open meeting claim against a city official. The judge awards a $100 penalty against the official and also orders the official to pay the attorneys fees incurred by the newspaper in bringing the claim. The new coverage would not payor reimburse either the penalty or the attorneys fees awarded. Note too that this coverage would not cover any legal costs that the city might incur if the city itself were a party to the Open Meeting Law litigation - unless, of course, it was part of a suit that also included a covered claim for damages, as discussed earlier. VII. How will tbe open Meeting Law Defense Cost Reimbursement Agreement work? The coverage is significantly different from other coverage provided under the standard LMCIT coverage agreements in a couple important ways. First, unlike LMCIT's liability coverages, the Open Meeting Law coverage does not pay the legal costs on the city official'S behalf. Instead, LMCIT will reimburse the city official for 80% of those costs, to a maximum of $20,000, after the official has incurred those costs. The city official remains responsible for paying his/her defense . attorney, including the 20% whioh LMCIT will not reimburse as well as any costs over $20,000. -' ------- - _.- ~ ~..... ~ T .-, . ...,..., I cn , T -, Nc.1 ill 3nS'tJ3i ..:- .- . - ~--,,,,=,,~~...,.,. ,. ... ~ Second, the city official retains control of the litigation. . The city official makes the decisions on what attorney to hire, whether to settle or compromise the litigation, whether to appeal, etc. The coverage is triggered when a lawsuit is served on the city official alleging a violation of the Minnesota Open Meeting Law. If a lawsuit is filed during that term of the agreement, the city offioial has to do two things: 1. Notify LHCI'l' of the litigation; and 2. Select defense counsel. VIII. How much will this coverag_ cost? Initially, we'll he basing the charge for this coverage on the premium for the oity's liability ooverage. Generally, the cost will be 1.5% of the liability premium, subject to a $500 minimum premium. In an individual oity's case the premium could be somewhat higher if in the underwriter's judgement there is a substantially higher risk of Open Meeting Law olaims in that city, though we expect this to be rare. IX. HOW do we go about adding this ooverage tor our oity? . Have your agent contact LMCIT's underwriters at Berkley Risk Services and ask for an application form. The underwriters will be able to return quote fairly quickly. x. Whom can we call it we have other questions? rf you need additional information or have other questions, you can contact Tom Grundhoefer or Pete Tritz at the League office, or call the underwriter at Berkley Risk Services who handles your city. We'd also appreoiate any comments or suggestions city offioials have for ways this coverage could be improved, or for any other changes cities would like LMCIT to consider. 11/17/93 ~ - - -- . - .

A HISTORY, PURPOSE AND SUMMARY OF H.F. #1757 Because tourism, specifically trail us~s essential to the economic well-being of the State of Minnesota; several community, C/ business, governmental, tourism and trail user organizations are working together to insure the continued use of state-wide, multi-use trails and trail systems through the introduction of new legislation. This proposed legislation H.F. #1757 brings Minnesota law in line with the vast majority of states in the snowbelt, particularly those who depend on outdoor recreation for significant economic development. In essence, H.F. #1757 would limit liability of private landowners who without charge allow recreational use of their property. Currently, Minnesota law discourages these same landowners from opening-up or continuing recreational use of their land for uses such as snowmobiling, hiking, skiing, horseback riding, bicycling, etc... State and local governments and for-profit enterprises alone can not provide adequate outdoor recreational opportunities for the public. Free use of private land has helped to fill the gap. H.F. #1757 addresses and corrects this issue. It limits liability to conduct intended to . cause injury, and it requires that the landowner grant in writing an easement or other property right before any such property right may be inferred from letting others use the land for recreational purposes. H.F. #1757 also provides for costs and attorney's fees to be awarded to the landowner if any frivolous lawsuit is brought against the landowner. H.F. #1757 is authored by Representative Mary Jo McGuire in the House of Representatives. Similar legislation will soon be introduced in the Senate. The following organizations have endorsed H.F. #1757: MN USA (snowmobiling) Minnesota Park & Trails Council Minnesota Horse Council Minnesota Recreation Coalition Minnesota Mountain Bikers Association Minnesota Civil Justice Coalition Minnesota 4 X 4 Association Minnesota DNR Minnesota Motel Association Minnesota Association of Campground Operators The Hibbing Area Chamber of Commerce The Grand Rapids Area Chamber of Commerce The Lake Superior Trail Association . --.--- .

The roadway is currently in need of repairs/reconstruction and the issue was brought about by ST~(;Cj[':~At the County through the possibility of County Road F being "turned back" to the City of . Arden Hills. SL'~'iE;fING Using traffic volumes obtained from Ramsey County, the proposed design was Ti;l,;[;C determined. The volumes are 3700 vehicles per day at Interstate 35W and 4200 vehicles per day at Old Snelling Road. Using Minnesota State Aid design standards, the projected TR.t.J'J$?GRTATiON traffic volumes at twenty years are approximately 6,200 vehicles per day. The costs outlined in this letter include the reconstruction of County Road F to a 36-foot wide, nine- ton urban roadway with concrete curb and gutter. The street would provide two driving lanes and a single parking lane and the costs associated with the construction are enclosed. These costs reflect approximately five inches of bituminous, eight inches of aggregate base and an eighteen-inch subcut which has been typical in Arden Hills. The existing right-of-way for the roadway is 66-feet in width at most locations and 40 feet off of the centerline of the roadway along several sections of the roadway. Additional right- of-way should not be required if the roadway is constructed as proposed. 1326 Energy Pork orne The estimated cost of constructing the nine-ton roadway is approximately $606,000. An additional'32 % should be added to the construction costs for overhead (which includes 51. Paul, MN 55108 engineering, fiscal, legal and administrative costs). This would result in a street 6IH44.4389 reconstruction project cost of approximately $788,000. In addition to the roadway fox: 612-644.9446 reconstruction, storm drainage improvements would be constructed. The cost of . 9800 5h~ord Porltwoy Minneapolis, MN 5544 1 612.5.46.0432 fox: 612.544.6398 . . Page Two February 23, 1994 City of Arden Hills constructing storm sewer to drain into the existing storm drainage waters would be approximately $136,000 and the total project cost would be approximately $177,000. This storm sewer improvement cost includes the reconstruction of the storm sewer piping that drains the ponding area north of County Road F in the Valentine Hills Number Two addition. All or a portion of that section of storm sewer would be eligible for funding by County/State Aid dollars as it would be vital in routing the storm runoff produced by the reconstructed roadway. Based upon the costs outlined above, the estimated total project cost for the County Road F reconstruction/improvements would be approximately $980,000. Additional construction may be necessary to facilitate sanitary sewer and watermain repairs or replacement at locations to be identified by City staff along the length of County Road F. This construction would result in additional construction costs which are not addressed within this report as municipal infrastructure improvements would not be covered by County/State Aid dollars. . We hope this letter and enclosed cost estimate assist you in the planning process for County Road F.

REGIONAL TRANSIT BOARD ~!lt~';Y9~qV Mears Park Centre . 230 East Fifth Street, St. Paul, Minnesota 55101 292-8789 DATE: February 17,1994 TO: Local Government Community Transit Contacts FROM: Mike Kuehn, Community Relations Coordinator ;n r- SUBJECT: Update Report on Transit Issues As we move into the 1994 legislative session, the transit decision-making snucture will be gelling a great deal of allention as the metropolitan governance commission continues to meet to discuss options for restructuring metropolitan government agencies. Of course, no one knows at this time what changes will be made snucturally to the RTB, if any. Putting the governance issue aside, there are many important transit policy issues that need to be brought to your attention because of the possible impact on local government. . Transit was appropriated $8.7 million less for the current biennium than the last. This funding needs to be restored during the upcoming legislative session or all transit programs could face significant cut backs - possibly a 10 percent service reduction could result. The RTB's top legislative initiative is for a supplemental appropriation to restore the monies under-funded for the biennium and meet the . increased cost of services. The total amount needed to maintain current services is $11.3 5 million. ^' During this year's legislative session, the RTB will once again be making the case . for new dollars to begin implementing the RTB's "Vision for Transit" plan. We are asking for $5.6 million for the rest of this biennium. While all types of transit services would be improved should new dollars become available, a great amount of emphasis would be placed on improving the suburb-to-suburb trips. To emphasize the impact of new funds for transit, this money could allow for 1.72 million miles of new service to regular route services and one million miles for community based services and with increased ridership of 4.4 million passengers per year. . Metro Mobility service changes implemented last year will realize some dollar savings on the cost per trip, but as our population continues to age, more and more people will become eligible for this service. As a result. the Metro Mobility service will continue to demand additional funds, while at the same time the efficiencies in service delivery will need to be periodically evaluated. . Methods to reduce traffic congestion, known as travel demand management strategies (TDM), will be given increased emphasis in 1994. Efforts to increase car pooling, expanding the involvement of employers to work on traffic mitigation's to their work sites and other innovative strategies will increasingly be discussed. The area of TDM could perhaps require local government participation to assist with several of these efforts in the future. . -over- . In 1994, the RTB will be updating and revising the Five-Year Transit Plan. This plan contains the details for transit service delivery improvements over the next five years. Many of the improvements would enhance suburban services. Much . of the service improvements will not be able to be implemented without dollars appropriated for new services. Communities are encouraged to offer their ideas as the updated Five-Year Transit Plan is developed later this year. In the spring, we will be inviting you to meetings to discuss the plan update and get your ideas and assessment of your transit services prior to a draft plan being developed. Attached for your information is a summary report on the RTB's 1994 legislative initiatives. You may wish to keep this information available at your city offices to use for further reference. If you desire more detailed information on how we evaluated our funding needs, please call me and I can provide it for you. In late December, the Governor app0inted a new RTB Chair. Sally Evert, of Stillwater, was named to the post. She has served for several years as a Washington County Commissioner and as Chair of the Transportation Advisory Board of the Metropolitan Council. Her public officials' background makes her very knowledgeable to the benefits for local governmental units to cooperatively work toward solutions to our regional transportation needs and is personally very committed to working toward meeting the transportation needs of our region. To attain our transit objectives will require additional funding and support from the legislature. I urge you to discuss transit needs as they impact your community with your city councils and county b.oards. In doing so, please encourage your elected officials to contact the state legislators from your community to bring them up to date on your community's transit needs and to impress upon them the need for additional monies to put future transit service into reality. Transit will never be able to make significant . improvements to its service without your assistance in communicating the importance of transit to our state officials. , Finally, again this year, I hope to be able to visit with you and further discuss specific transit issues in your community. If any of you wish to schedule such a meeting over the next few months, please call me at 292-8789. Otherwise, I will be contacting you to schedule some time to meet with you in the near future. Please do not hesitate to use me as your transit contact whenever issues pertaining to transit arise. . r1j~ .20 \ j" , " t:Y~',!))J~\ v If: , ," ');tu ~D[] Roseville Area Schools .
