Recently, you and I discussed these changes and the irrpact on Arden Hills. I have reviewed this proposal with Mr. Gunnar Pettersen and Dave Kriesel. They have assured me that the ma.jority of these costs are related to changes in the state code. Mr. Pettersen has also indicated that the fees for these permits have not changed in the past 6 years. . The contract we have with Metropolitan Inspection requires us to pay the firm 80 peroent of each permit. The proposed increases would not be a direct cost to the City but passed through to the property owner/contractor. It appears that the City will also experience similar increases in our building code fees. No increases are plarmed in the foreseeable future frcm our Heating &. Mechanical Inspector. The proposal fran Metropolitan Inspection Service, Inc. is proposed to be effective January 1, 1995. You may wish to have this placed on the City Council agenda for discussion. No fOrrrBl action on the contract or fee st:ructure is required by the City until the end of the year_ BF:jt .

Person City Administrator City of Arden Hills 1450 West Highway 96 Arden Hills, Mi'i. 55112-5794 Re: Electrical Pennit Fees Dear Dorothy: . It has been more than six years since the fees for electrical permits were increased. During the same period, our expenses for wages, taxes, utilities, rent, insurance, transportation, and many other expenses to run the business have increased substantially. The electrical code has also added many new requirements that must be checked for compliance. To protect the city and ourselves against lawsuits, we have initiated additional record keeping. At the time of Fmal inspection, we record the number of circuits, type of equipment, and areas wired. This is to protect us if an owner adds improper wiring without a permit and inspection, and later daims the wiring was there when the Fmal inspection was made. The average fee we received, per permit, for electrical permits taken out in 1993 was $28.30. Permits for remodeling and new construction require multiple inspections for rough-in(S), service, and Fmal. In addition, reinspections are often required to confum code violations have been corrected. As a rule, homeowners are not home during the day and inspections often must be scheduled to meet the owner at a specific time to gain entrance to the house. Homeowners often do not complete wiring within the allowed 18 months and one or more letters are mailed to get the job completed. . .

CITY OF ARDEN HILLS MEMJRANDUM DATE: September 14, 1994 TO: Dorothy Person, City Administrator FRCM: Brian Fritsinger, Ca:rmmity Planning Coordinato(6t==='J stJBJECr : 1994/1995 Anilnal Control C=tract As you know, our anirmJ. control agency, Animal Control Se:rvices, Inc., has recently obtained contracts from several of our neighl::oring cities. Included in these contracts are White Bear Township, Arden Hills, Little Canada, Shoreview, North Oaks and Vadnais Heights. Under this new contract, the Ramsey County Dispatch office will be invol vecl in =tacting ACSI. The new contracts have allowed ACSI to make sorre changes in its 1994 rates. The City of Arden Hills has an existing contract with ACSI . that operates through Decerrber 31, 1994. ACSI has asked the City to reconsider its contract for an extension through Decerrber 31, 1995. nus extended contract =uld change the rates for call outs for the remainder of this year. The cu=ent contract includes the following rates: Current Remainder Proposed ~ of 1994 ~ Price per hour for patrol 20.80 20.80 20.80 Price per Call (7 am-5 pm) 41. 00 48.50 48.50 Price per call off hours 56.00 48.50 48.50 Animal Boarding 9.10 9.10 9.30 Cat disp::lsal 16.00 16.00 16.50 Leg disp::lsal 19.00 19.00 19.50 Within the contract, you should note that there are two other changes. The fees for diS]Xlsal of cats and dogs will increase by 50c in 1995, and ACSI is opening its CMn kennel in White Bear Lake. All irtpJUI1ded animals will be taken to this new kennel. In analyzing the statistics for ACSI, if the year-to-date statistics were applied to the new rates, the cost to Arden Hills would have . resulted in a $7 increase. The change in the fee structure is rrore of an adjustrrent which reflects ACSI' s increased presence in this area, . 1994/1995 Animal Control Contract Page 2 09/14/94 and the resulting efficiency to respond to calls. Staff v.K:>uld reccmrend that the City Council approve the contract extension through Lecemter 31, 1995 including the provisions to the fee structure for 1994. . . ~il+'l;I;- . ============================== IN'nj51 i'I)'lTRI'l ('()'1IJTR\ 1'7 .. ~.....l..l .~' l' .I. .)

CITY OF ARDEN HI:I.U:l MEM)RAN[)l]M DATE: September 26, 1994 TO: Dorothy Person, City Administrator FRCM: Brian Fritsillger, Calmunity Planning Coordinat=~ SUBJECl' : 1863 Grant Road, Lawrence Rust You should recall that during 1993 the City undert=k several activities frcm a safety and welfare perspective at 1863 Grant Road. At that time, the property owner was placed in a nursing hotre. Over the last several rronths, staff has attempted to have the "junk" located on this lot rerroved. These items included vehicles, tractors, tires and other miscellaneous trash. Efforts to have the owner's son rerrove these items have teen ineffective. Attached you will find co=espondence frcm Attorney Miller on this . property. He has indicated two methods of handling this nuisance. In discussing this with Dave Kriesel, we feel that the notice to abate approach would be TIDst appropriate action prior to tawing these vehicles. We have discussed this with the Ramsey County Sheriff, who will issue the actual "tow" notice, and have been authorized to store these vehicles at the Ramsey County ItTTfOUI1d Lot. In order to undertake this process there will I::e sore cost to the City. Dave has researched the potential costs to the City for this undertaking. It will cost $65 per tow and $15 per day for storage. The overall costs to the City will be approximately $500-1000. MN State Statute allows the City to conduct a sale irrmediately upon illTflOundment due to the age and condition of the vehicles. If the applicant does not claim the I::elongings, the City can dispose of the property and recoup serne of its costs through a public auction. The City can also assess the costs against the property. . - Because of the potential public involvement with this case, staff . =uld like further direction frcm the City Council prior to pr=eeding. The City continues to receive calls aJ:out the status of the clean up frcm neighl::ors and sheriff. Please let me know how you =uld like to pr=eed. If possible, I'd like to have this placed on the Octol:::er 10, 1994 City council meeting. . . PETERSON, ',II ~ '. ( 'l' t FAAM BERGMAN .,;;(" . 'i::"L' August 5, 1994 Dave Kriesel City of Arden Hills 1450 West Highway 96 Arden Hills, MN 55112 RE: Property Located at 1863 Grant Road Lawrence G. Rust Our File No.: 10480/930250 Dear Dave: As you are aware, there has been little activity regarding the above-referred to property over the past several months. Recently, I drove past the property to view it to see if there have been any changes. It did not appear to me that any changes have taken place. It's my understanding that Lawrence Rust, the son of Mr. . Rust, was going to take some steps to remove the "junk" and keep us apprised of the results of his efforts to do so. We have not heard from him and evidently, he has been unsuccessful in removing the junk. I have tried a couple of times to give him a call regarding this matter. Both times, there has been no answer at the phone number which we were given. It would be appreciated if you could inspect the property in the near future and determine whether or not any of the vehicles have been removed and if there are any additional vehicles which are on the property. For ease of reference, I have faxed along a copy of an inventory of the vehicles which was previously prepared by you. There are two possible methods of handling the vehicles. One is pursuant to Minn. Stat. 5l68B dealing with abandoned vehicles, While it is not entirely clear, it appears that the statute would be applicable in this case. Procedurally, the City would first have to make the determination that the vehicles were "in an inoperable condition such that [they have] no substantial potential for further use consisent with [their] usual functions." Next, the City would remove the vehicles from the premises, notify the owner of the removal after which time the owner would have the opportunity to redeem the vehicles, or allow the City to dispose of them pursuant to public auction. (The process is a little bit more complicated than that described, although the above is a fair . summary of it.) Dave Kriesel . August 5, 1994 Page 2 The second method would be to commence a civil action to abate the nuisance. The commencement of such an action should be preceded by the Notice to Abate referred to in Section 16-4 of the Arden Hills City Code. I have prepared such a Notice and have sent a draft of it along with this letter. It would be appreciated if you would review the Notice as to its factual accuracy and make a determination of whether or not there are any other violations of the City Code resulting from the condition of the property. If so, (and assuming that any such violations constitute a nuisance), they should be listed on the Notice as well. (Depending on the response to the Notice to Abate, we may decide to forego the commencement of a civil action and simply proceed to remove the property pursuant to statute and/or ordinance.) On a final matter, it is my understanding that Lawrence G. Rust is currently in a nursing home. I do not know whether or not a guardian has been appointed. I note in the file that you were in contact with someone from the County regarding his welfare. I f you have any information about whether or not a guardian has been appointed, please let me know. Any such guardian would have to be the person who receives notice of the abatement. . Thank you. erely, JMM:bap encs. . . September 21, 1994 Mr. Lawrence G. Rust 1863 Grant Road Arden Hills, MN 55112 NOTICE TO ABATE You are hereby notified, that pursuant to Section 16-4 of the Arden Hills City Code, you have five (5) days from the date of service of this Notice to abate the condition(s) listed below at 1863 Grant Road, Arden Hills, Minnesota.

We're word processing specialists who provide professionally prepared documents. We also work closely with clients to make suggestions about format and style to assure it is flawless, pleasing to the eye, and contains proper use of bold print, italics, bullets, etc. TimeSaver's secretarial support services are used by more than 150 companies and corporations throughout the metro area. We are an economical alternative to temporary help, full-time or part-time employees, especially for companies that do not want to invest in additional equipment, furniture and office space. Of special interest to municipalities is our recording secretarial services. TimeSaver has . developed a special niche market for supplying recording secretaries to municipalities, private corporations and volunteer organizations. This service is especially attractive to clients who do not wish to become involved in the time consuming procedure of replacing and/or retraining recording secretaries. TimeSaver designates a primary secretary for each account who then, if needed, is able to retrain a new secretary in the future. This system has been successful because it provides the client with consistent, long-tenn services without added expense in the event of employee turnover. TimeSaver is currently responsible for providing recording secretaries to nme municipalities (Anoka, Blaine, Brooklyn Center, Champlin, Coon Rapids, East Bethel, St. Anthony, Shorewood and Victoria), the Lower Rum River Watershed Management Organization, and one volunteer organization. In October, we will begin taking minutes for the Lino Lakes Planning Commission and North Anoka Arena Committee. Desired minute content varies for each client, ranging from minutes that are alnwst verbatim to summary minutes. Samples of meeting minutes are available upon request. Because of TimeSaver's extensive municipal experience, our staff is familiar with municipal meeting procedures, topics of discussion, use of language, motions, etc. Our municipal clients can attest to our longevity in providing for their meeting minute needs, . ::77 COOl!
