VOLUNTEER RECOGNITION - RESOLUTION 94-45 Mayor Probst stated that this week is "National Cities Week."

Mayor Probst read the following resolution in recognition of Arden Hills volunteers: "WHEREAS, the City of Arden Hills has had projects of Beautification and Public Service for public and private land areas in the City, WHEREAS, the dedication of the volunteers has resulted in ongoing enhancements to the City of Arden Hills; WHEREAS, the volunteers have shown dedication in serving the Community through advisory committees, commissions and elections; WHEREAS, the Arden Hills City Council sets aside the week of September 25th as National Cities Week to recognize those who have given their services to the City of Arden Hills and its citizens; NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOL YED by the City Council of the City of Arden Hills, Minnesota: , that the City Council of Arden Hills recognizes the following volunteers; commends and thanks them --------- .

PASSED AND ADOPTED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ARDEN HILLS TIllS 26TH DAY OF SEPTEl\.1BER, 1994," Mayor Probst stated that 80+ people will be receiving the resolution of recognition. He cannot thank volunteers enough who have gone above and beyond the call of duty, This is a small way the Council can show its appreciation. MOTION Malone moved and Hicks seconded a motion to adopt Resolution No. 94-45. The motion was approved unanimously (4-0). Malone stated that for such a small City with limited resources, the City would not be able to do half of what it gets done without the dedicated work from citizens who come and volunteer services. He stated that he joins the Mayor in thanking each and everyone. Aplikowski added that she has been very impressed that whenever she has asked someone to do an . extra job, whether it be serving on a subcommittee or attending an extra meeting, she has never heard anybody say "no." Everyone is more than willing to do more than is expected and more than their share. She thanked each and everyone and stated that she looks forward to working with everyone . in the future.

This Committee will recommend the preferred method to provide positive recognition and feedback to Employees, . PASSED AND ADOPTED BY THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ARDEN HILLS THIS 26TH DAY OF SEPTEMBER, 1994." MOTION Malone moved and Aplikowski seconded a motion to adopt Resolution No. 94-47. The motion was unanimously approved (4-0). Aplikowski asked what action will be taken on this resolution, Mayor Probst stated that the City Administrator will set up a committee. PUBLIC COMMENTS Mayor Probst asked if anyone wished to speak on an issue that is not on the agenda. There were no comments, , . ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - SEPTEMBER 26, 1994 5 . UNFINISHED AND NEW BUSINESS APPROVAL OF ORDINANCE NO. 297: AMENDMENTS TO CHAPTER 18. ARDEN HILLS CITY CODE Fritsinger stated that this item is in regard to Section 18, Transient Merchants and Peddling. Earlier this year, in the process of amending this ordinance, the City Attorney recommended that further clarification be made in the ordinance. One recommendation was to define transient merchant and identify specifically where they are allowed to do business. The following sections have been revised: Section 18-14(a) provides consistent changes of the word practices to signs, Section 18-14(d) clearly states that open sales lots are not allowed within the City of Arden Hills. The other reason for amending the full chapter of the ordinance is to make certain that it is consistent with the Municipal Code Book. He recommended the Council adopt the Ordinance 297, including the proposed amendments of Chapter 18, as recommended by the City Attorney. MOTION: Hicks moved and Malone seconded a motion to adopt Ordinance 297 to amend Chapter 18 of the City Code. The motion was unanimously approved (4-0). . CASE 94-22 - SITE PLAN REVIEW AND LOT CONSOLIDA nON - ST. VOLODYMYR & . ST, OLGA UKRAINIAN ORTHODOX CHURCH REOUEST FOR SPECIAL USE PERMIT Fritsinger stated that the applicant is requesting a special use permit to operate a house of worship in an R-1 district. A house of worship is allowed in the R-l zoning district through a special use peImit. Submitted for Council's consideration is the site plan for the church and lot consolidation of the property reviewed and approved by the City (Case No. 90-11). There has been a delay in the construction, and the ordinance requires that the applicant have the project reviewed again. The Planning Commission did review and unanimously approved the lot consolidation, site plan and SUP. The proposal has been scaled down from the one presented in 1990, In 1990, the City encouraged the applicant to acquire an adjacent single family residence property, which the church has done and is including in the lot consolidation, The property now consists of approximately 4.8 acres. Fritsinger stated that City regulations require 65% of the property to be landscaped, and this plan shows 64+%. Church officials are working with staff to achieve more landscaping and reduce parking spaces. The area is fairly level and wooded with many mature trees. Under the landscaping plan, the site would require approximately 43,5 caliper inches of landscaping. The applicant is planning a number of plantings in the plaza, A black spruce is planned for the entrance area, and Norway pines were added to the southwest corner to comply with the 43,5 caliper inch requirement. City Code allows 35 feet of height for a structure. When the domes and spires are completed on the church, it will be 90 feet in height. There is an exemption clause in the ordinance for church spires so these will be in compliance. There is a delineated wetland on the site and some encroachment. , Rice Creek Watershed District has reviewed the plan and issued a permit to allow the encroachment. The City Engineer has also reviewed the plan and stated that other than the drainage easements, . ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - SEPTEMBER 26, 1994 6 . everything appeared okay. There will be no accent lighting for the domes and spires. Two outdoor signs are proposed, one at each entrance. All mechanical equipment on the roof will be located on the south side and will have a painted screen, Fritsinger stated that the existing drainage flows through pipes at the northeast boundary of the property. The runoff from Highway 96 at TCAAP flows onto this site, into the wetland and is carried out through the North Heights Church drainage system by a series of existing pipes, In order to allow for drainage to flow under the proposed road, a new pipe is proposed. The City Engineer has reviewed the drainage plans and has no concerns other than to secure the easements for drainage. Fritsinger stated that MNIDOT has identified some issues, One is the runoff rate and flow control to make sure the pipe is of sufficient size to prevent any backup of water to the T .H. 96 ditch area. MNIDOT also has traffic concerns. The plan shows the same entrances as proposed in 1990, with a curb cut at the southeast corner and one on the north. There is a current median cut on T,H. 96, primarily to allow for left turns into the TCAAP property. Both MNIDOT and Ramsey County are concerned about traffic using that cut to turn left across eastbound traffic into the site. Ramsey County has encouraged staff to look at having the main entrance on Old Snelling. MN/DOT has indicated that they are willing to allow a right turn off ofT.H. 96 but no exit. Staff believes a right-in and right-out option would be appropriate. One of the difficulties in working with MNIDOT and the . county is that T.H. 96 is scheduled to be turned back to Ramsey County by November 1, 1994. Staff was able to have representatives from both the county and MNIDOT look at the site, and no major . problems were found. All of these issues must be resolved before a building permit can be issued for any construction on the site. Fritsinger reported that the Fire Department requested that the applicant prepare an area on the south side of the site to allow access for fire protection and emergency vehicles. The applicant has agreed to improve the south area of the site to a IO-ton capacity to accommodate emergency vehicle access. Fritsinger stated that the lot consolidation is necessary because of the number of variances which would be required otherwise, Staff is recommending consolidation at this time. Fritsinger stated that the last issue for consideration is park dedication. The subdivision ordinance does require park dedication. Based on past practice and using North Heights Church as an example, staff proposed that 10% park dedication be approved. The North Heights Church dedication was approximately 3/4 park and 1/4 wetland. In reviewing market value of the consolidation and park dedication, staff estimated that the park dedication is approximately $17,000 The City Council may consider the exclusion of the market value of the residential home which would reduce the fee to $7,200. The applicant had stated the park dedication requirements are unreasonable and would like further discussion on this matter. Fritsinger stated that the Planning Commission did review the proposal as presented and did , unanimously recommend approval of the lot consolidation to operate a house of worship on this site, . ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - SEPTEMBER 26, 1994 7 . subject to the conditions identified in the City Planner's report. Hicks asked if the rationale for reducing the park dedication fee from $17,000 to $7,200 is the fact that a house is already existing on the site. Fritsinger stated that the reduction reflects just the market value of the land. The existing house is will stay on the property and, therefore, it is appropriate to include only the bare land value, Hicks stated that mention was made of an additional curb cut on Old Snelling Avenue and the one on the south end would be closed. He asked if the additional cut would be an alternative. Fritsinger stated that the curb cut identified by Ramsey County is an effort to get traffic away from nearby residences. When North Heights Church was approved, there was a similar requirement. Hicks noted surprise that Rice Creek Watershed District would allow this proposed encroachment on wetland. Fritsinger stated that under the wetland laws, there are a number of exemptions which still apply In this case, the applicant has shown Rice Creek Watershed District the intention to complete a project . that was approved under the old laws. . Malone asked if an alternate exit to the east will be built. Fritsinger stated that the applicant is still proposing the current exit as part of the site plan. His earlier comments reflect Ramsey County's position. He believes the ordinance requires a 35- to 45-foot setback from that intersection. Malone stated that the design is good, and he would like to see it come back as it has been originally proposed. He asked if it is correct to say that the westbound traffic will not be allowed to turn left and cross the eastbound traffic to enter the site, Fritsinger stated that because of the median cut, it could be allowed with proper signage. MN/DOT recommends a "right turn only" into the site at this intersection and "no exit" to eliminate traffic turning across the highway. The proposed plan does prohibit left turns across T.H. 96, but because of the median cut it would be difficult to enforce. Malone noted that traffic exiting North Heights Church turns left to go west on T,H. 96. He believes this median cut and the one by North Heights Church may be closed in the future, Fritsinger stated that may be the reason why Ramsey County is encouraging access from om Snelling Avenue, , Aplikowski asked the size of the congregation and capacity of the new building. . ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - SEPTEMBER 26, 1994 8 . Mr. Oleg Gregoret, 950 Lombard Avenue, St. Paul, stated that he is the architect for the congregation and Chairman of the Building Committee. At the present time there are 80 families in the church. They are counting heavily on this new church to attract members from two other congregations in the Twin Cities. The church is designed for 150 seats and a parish hall for 300 people. The greatest number of people estimated to be on site at anyone time is 300. Hicks stated that he would like to see more elevation on the opposite side of the courtyard. Mr. Gregoret stated that the church is designed with a hemispherical dome with half of a wall. Hicks asked the applicant's reaction to the recommendations made by Ramsey County. Mr, Buhajenko stated that this is the first time they have seen the report. The church's position is that access from TH. 96 is necessary for people coming from St. Paul or Minneapolis on 1.35W that then would come down TH. 96 and would be able to make a right turn into the church. They would be leaving on Old Snelling or by a right turn onto TH. 96. Church officials have not been counting on the median cut being available to the church in the future. Hicks asked how many private residences are located on the east side of Old Snelling Avenue . adjacent to this property. Fritsinger answered that there are only two or three and are located on large lots. . Hicks stated that the county engineer's recommendations are to minimize the impact of traffic. MNiDOT and county representatives have initially looked at the site, but no final recommendations have been given, only their initial reactions. The main thing is to keep traffic away from the Highway 96 intersection. Aplikowski stated that she does not see any problem with the original design using the present curb cuts. Any place one goes to church is in a residential area. She can see the benefit of using the access from TH. 96 and would hope it can be worked out. MOTION: Hicks moved and Malone seconded a motion to approve Case No. 94.22, Site Plan Review and Lot Consolidation for the Ukrainian Church, and special use permit, subject to the nine points stated in the Planning Commission minutes, dated September 7, 1994, Discussion: Mayor Probst stated that the right-of-way exists currently and the Planning Commission is encouraging the applicant to pursue the release of that right-of-way to become part of the church property. Hicks agreed to withdraw that condition as part of the motion. The motion was unanimously approved (4-0). , . ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - SEPTEMBER 26, 1994 9 . The Pastor of the church thanked the Council on behalf of the church members for supporting their plan. Many people from Minneapolis are waiting for this church because there are only three churches in the Twin Cities area. His people are an ethnic minority but already there is a generation born here who are committed to this church. He thanked the Councilmembers again, blessed them and invited them to the consecration of the church next fall. Hicks noted that even after recalculating the park dedication to the reduced amount, church officials would like to negotiate an amount that would be even less. He stated that he believes the $7,200 amount is reasonable, All Councilmembers concurred on this position. Fritsinger stated that the church officials would like to see the wetland applied to that formula to reduce the amount further, as was done for North Heights Church, Hicks stated that he recognizes the precedent but does not believe the Council should consider the same action that was an error in the past and continue it into the future. Aplikowski asked what the amount would be if the wetland were taken into consideration. . Fritsinger stated that he did not have the exact square footage. The Project Architect has stated he believes the dedication could be reduced to almost the full 100%. . Aplikowski stated that she agrees with Hicks' position. While there may be a small window for negotiation, in her mind it would be very small. Hicks stated that because the wetland is totally contained on the church property and the usual benefit of a wetland is primarily for the residents as a park or place to attract water fowl and wildlife. He would recommend that no credit be given for the wetland. CASE NO. 94-19 - ZONING ORDINANCE AMENDMENT AND APPROVAL OF ORDINANCE 299 Fritsinger stated that this item is related to the earlier discussion of transient merchants and how the zoning ordinance addresses open sales lots, Since a definition is not included in the land use chart, the ordinance is interpreted to mean that open sales lots are not permitted within the City, For the purposes of clarification and consistency between ordinances and City Code, retail sales on open lots are not allowed in Arden Hills. The definition of retail sales does not include open sales lots. This revision was reviewed by the Planning Commission at their July meeting and unanimously approved. MOTION Malone moved and Aplikowski seconded a motion to approve Case No. 94-19, and , adopt Ordinance 299, as amended, with direction to staff to publish summaries of Ordinance No. 297 and No. 299. The motion was unanimously approved (4-0). - --- ----------------- . . ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - SEPTEMBER 26, 1994 10 . ADMINISTRATOR COMMENTS Person stated that the City has completed a one-year review of the 1993 north water tower restoration project. An amount of $6,977,13 was held until completion of the final punch list of items. Mr. Winkel and the consulting engineers are in agreement that the work is completed satisfactorily and would request that final payment be released to Odland Protective Coatings, Inc, MOTION Malone moved and Aplikowski seconded a motion to authorize final payment to Odland Protective Coatings, Inc., in the amount of $6,977.13, for completion of the water tower restoration work, The motion was approved unanimously (4-0). Person reported that staff is working with PDI onjob evaluations in the City. A final report should be available within a few weeks. Also, ordinance codification is being updated. Any changes will be submitted to the Council for review. The majority of changes in the first three chapters are administrative and related to licensing. While not extensive, some discussion will be needed. Person stated that October 10 is a holiday (Columbus Day) which is not mandatory, She asked if the Council would like to meet on that regular meeting day or change the meeting date. It was the . consensus of the Council to meet on October 10, 1994, as scheduled. Person noted the scheduled worksession date is October 20, 1994, and the second regular Council . meeting is October 3 I, 1994. Malone asked if the October 31 Council meeting could be moved to October 24, 1994, After some discussion Councilmembers agreed to hold the Council meeting on the regularly scheduled night of October 31, 1994, and move the worksession meeting date to Tuesday, October IS, 1994, at 4:30 p.m. in the City public works building. MOTION Malone moved and Hicks seconded a motion to schedule the worksession meeting for October 1S, 1994, at 4:30 p.m. The motion was unanimously approved (4-0), COUNCIL COMMENTS Malone asked if the changes in the codification process include all deletions from code, such as the personnel section into policy. Person stated that staffis working on the details of this process. Aplikowski stated that it i~ frustrating to look for papers at the Council meeting and not have all of the appropriate papers. She wondered whether there was a better way to organize and decrease unnecessary paper. Person stated that within the last couple of weeks staff has been looking at other city councils and , how council packets are organized, She is conducting a review of various cities' approach to packet information and organization . ARDEN Hll..LS CITY COUNCll.. - SEPTEMBER 26, 1994 11 . Mayor Probst referred to Cable TV information re: legislative changes needed. Malone suggested that the City Cable TV representative, Mr. Sand, may be able to give the Council an update of the recent laws and the future of Cable TV. Garritt Lysiak has been asked to act as the technical Cable advisor and may be able to assist also. Mayor Probst reported that at the Mayors' meeting on crime in the metro area, there was discussion about juvenile crime and establishing uniform curfews in every city throughout the metro area. He encouraged staff to make sure the City is in conformance with that regulation. Fritsinger stated that he received a telephone call on that very issue. The person calling encouraged the City not to participate in that process because it is the responsibility of the parents, and setting curfews is ridiculous. Aplikowski asked if the City has a curfew. Person stated that the City does have an ordinance for a curfew, which is fairly consistent with neighboring cities. The Sheriff's Group has been working on that issue for a couple of months in all of the northern suburbs. . Mayor Probst stated that he received a mailing from Ramsey County inviting the City to participate . in the "no net loss of park lands" program. Mayor Probst urged Councilmembers to endorse the resolution. MOTION Mayor Probst moved and Hicks seconded a motion to endorse the Ramsey County resolution regarding no net loss of park lands. The motion was approved unanimously (4-0). Mayor Probst commended staff for the effort in putting together a training manual for Councilmembers.

'Ihis ordinance is the result of discussions held this past year to address change to Chapter 5 of the Arden Hills Municipal Cede. As a result of the number and type of change proposed, the City attmney has suggested that Chapter 5 be repealed and Chapter 5.5 be added. 'Ihis allows the City to revise the ordinance so that it rray be redesigned as well as adding new language. . The changes proposed by staff are those which we..re discussed at a City Council worksession on July 21, 1994. The rrajor changes are as follows: 1. Kennels Article 2 now addresses roth cc:mnercial and residential dog kennels. The residential dog kennel license is not required for those individuals who have an actual dog kennel. A separate license is required for those individuals who have a dog kennel. The residential dog kennel license is required for individuals who desire to have 3 (three) dogs in a dwelling unit. Currently only 2 (two) dogs are allowed per dwelling unit. 2. Definitions Several new definitions were added to address various parts of the chapter. . 3. Dis""''''ed\Vicious Doas , The Council oo.y recall that the MN Council of D:::g Clubs had expressed concerns ab::>ut our definition of a diseased dog. Subsequently, the organization provided a lengthy rabies ordinance to address this issue. As staff reviewed this with the local animal control officer, City Attorney, and League of MN Cities, all agreed that the existing sections of the ordinance were adequate to address these areas. The Council should note that staff has separated diseased dog and vicious dog in the prcp:>sed ordinance. 4. Minor Lavout = Verl>iaae Chanaes There are substantial changes to the layout and language of the ordinance as recannended by our attorney. These changes do not alter the intent of the ordinance.

MEHJRANDtJM DATE: October 24, 1994 10: Mayor and City Council FRCM: Brian Fritsinger, Cnnmmity Planning Coordinato(ii) SUI3JECT: AniIDal and Pet Fees Attached the Council will find Resolution No. 94-49 which details the variety of fees associated with Chapter 5, Aninals and Pets. These fees are to be established frcm time to time by the City Council in the form of a Resolution. MJst of these fees are included in the recently approved Contract with AniIlBl Control Services, Inc. However, there are several items identified in the Resolution which were not detailed in the contract. Those included: 1. Inlcour1nm..nr = Current Proposed . $10.00 $20.00 This fee was last in=eased in 1987. ACSI has indicated that most other cities charge a $25.00 fee for irrpounding. 2. Licensina = OlrrE"nt PrQposed $15.00\2 yr. $10.00\1 year This change was recanrended by the City Council at its July 21, 1994 worksession meeting. The rationale for the change was to be more consistent with the rabies vaccination requirements. 3. Residential Doer Kennel License = all-rent Prooosed - 0 - $10.00\1 year The City curre."ltly has no dog kennel license fee. This fee is not for a kennel structure itself, but for dwelling units with three (3) dogs.

CITY OF ARDEN HILLS MEM)RANDllM DATE: October 20, 1994 TO: Mayor and City Council FRCM: Brian Fritsinger, Ca:lm.mity Planning Coordinato~ SUBJECT : MetroEast Deve1cp:nent Partnership Recently, I tret with Debra Barkley and Jeff Raegeth of MetroEast Developnent Partnership (MEDP). At this meeting, we discussed the activities of the partnership and how the firm could assist Arden Hills. At this treeting, MEDP requested that the City of Arden Hills pledge to be a member for the next tw) years. The cost of this membership is $1000/yr or a total of $2000. . At the titre I was hired by the City, Ms. Person and I discussed Arden Hills potential involvement with MEDP. In fact, we had expected this request to be made much earlier than now. Attached you will find a copy of the organization's 1994-96 strategic plan. Within this plan, it identifies most of the benefits that trembership will give Arden Hills. These services range frcm business leads to business consulting. MEDP has been providing, at no cost to the City, these services for the past several years. In one sense, they have been acting in a role similar to that described by the City Council several months ago when trey mentioned an economic developnent consultant. Other neighboring ccmnunities, such as M:>unds View, are currently members of this organization. The only other economic developnent organization that I am aware of in this area costs between $10-15,000 per year. I believe that for the $1000 fee the assistance provided to the City can be well justified. A portion of the Planning Consultant fees budgeted for 1995 could be used for this membership. Staff W)uld reccmrend that the City Council - consider approving the MEDP Membership. -- --------.

I:lIproveIIents Assessments An 8\30\94 letter fran Chris Samuel, Ramsey County M3nager Local Government Policy & Research to myself outlines a new Minnesota Statute and its 1995 irrpact on the City of .Z\rden Hills. The 1993 legislature added Minnesota Statutes 429.061, subd. 5 which provides in part that "... a municipality shall pay to the county auditor all administrative expenses in=ed by the county under subdivision 3 for each special assessment of any local irrproverrent . certified by the municipality to the county auditor." Ramsey County is proposing a fee of $2.50 per assessment per parcel per year if the County maintains the assessment rolls. The estimated charge to Arden Hills for 1995 is $928 (based on the count of active assessments as of 8\18\94) . Services the county provides in maintaining the assessment rolls include the following: 1. Enter new assessment rolls into the database including rraking a record of payments before certification. 2. Collect, distribute and report payments made before certification of the assessments to the tax list (prepayments). 3. Keep a record of senior citizen, green acres and municipal defe:ment. Provide payoff balances to taxpayers upon request. 4. Process parcel splits and canbinations based upon City recorrmendations for assessment allocations to the new parcels. 5. Adjust assessment rolls based upon city charges to the roll made by resolution. 6. Answer taxpayer and City assessment balance requests. - County Re<;!llest . Ramsey County Property Records and revenue has asked each City to positively confirm if the municipality wishes to include the fee on the 1995 tax statement along with the City's special assessments. Reccmnendation The County will be charging the City sanething in 1995 because of the statute change. The impact could range from $.40 per parcel per year (approximately $150 per year) with the City maintaining the assessment rolls to $2.50 per parcel per year (approximately $930 per year)with the County maintaining the assessment rolls. The $780 difference in oost ($150 vs. $930) results from a City having the software and hardware abilities to produce a tape for the county coupled with adequate staffing to provide services 1 - 6 outlined above. I believe that $930 per year is a reasonable service fee for the county to provide "turnkey" assessment roll maintenance and that the City of Arden Hills should advise Ramsey County that the fee should be included on the 1995 tax statement along with the other City special assessments. .

Person Arden Hills 1450 West Highway 96 Arden Hills, MN 55112 Dear Dorothy Person: Thank you for submitting your pay equity report required by the Local Government Pay Equity Act M.S. 471.991 - 471.999 and Minnesota Rules Chapter 3920. Unfortunately, your jurisdiction did not meet certain requirementst resul ting in a non-compliance ruling by the Department of Employee Relations (DOER) . However, the good news is that you have an opportunity to make adjustments to meet the requirements and submit a new report by January 31, 1995 prior to any penalties being assessed. . You have received this "First Notice of Non-Compliance" because your jurisdiction did not pass one or more of the compliance tests. Details of your test results and further instructions are attached. These materials are public information and must be supplied to anyone upon request. This first non-compliance ruling entitles you to two options. One option is to take action to pass the necessary testes) and file a new report by the required date. The other option is to request reconsideration. Instructions for each of these options are attached. It is very important that you respond appropriately by the date specified for whichever option you choose, because a "Second Notice of Non-Compliance" will result in penalties being assessed back to December 31, 1993. We are eager to help you achieve compliance. We urge you to contact us and review the adjustments you plan to make prior to officially filing your new report. This informal llpreliminary review" may prevent a second non-compliance ruling and the penalties that would result. If you have any questions about this notice or pay equity requirements, please contact Faith Zwemke, Pay Equity Coordinator, 612-296-2653. Sincerely, ~C~~H~ ,~~s~ .

" , IIIKIII DATE: October 19, 1994 TO: Terry Post FROM: Jeff Oertel RE: Arden Hills City Hall/Public Works Relocation Consulting Job #1568.202 Per our telephone conversation, I am providing a summary my observations concerning the adaptive reuse of the former Tupperware building. Dorothy and I met with the realtor/broker on this past September 8. My observations are as follows: 1) Location: the building has a good central location, and being next to the water tower is a plus. Located in the business district mayor may not be a bonus, depending on the city's point of view. 2) The building appears to be structurally sound. The roof is in relatively good . condition, with minor repair required. There are no major problems with the basic building systems that a minor amount of renovation work could not resolve. 3) Paint is pealing and will continue to do so, partially due to the previous! existing application, and the fact that, with no vapor barrier internally, building moisture shall continue to migrate out through the walls. 4) Drainage of storm water off the roof is causing some minor problems along the exterior wall and drainage is poor: this is an inexpensive and easy-to- monitor item, but it is evident that past and ongoing maintenance has not been performed. 5) The split entry set-up is a plus for separate access into the proposed office area and multi-purpose room. The assembly area (multi-purpose room) is reasonably suited to such activities as council meetings, group activities and programs that are currently cramped or compromised in the existing chambers. 6) As a general storage/ office building, this structure is adequate and relatively easy to renovate to suit light manufacturing, small commercial enterprises and the like. Renovating this structure to accommodate public works, maintenance and storage is another matter. A conversion or retrofit would Tnreshl'r Square be forced, at best. My main concerns include: eOO Third Street So. Mmneapoli,;, Mt\i'i:'1415 612/.,19-::;:;;n,-; 1:,1.\ h12/~~"-::;.,K2 o. . ~ . . The existing 4" slab cannot accommodate the heavy traffic generated throughout the year. The slab will crack, spall or deteriorate. . Flammable waste traps and drains would need to be incorporated into the floor system to meet code, not an easy feat. . The existing overhead door heights and widths for vehicle access are not acceptable. Renovating these openings would actually be slightly more money than starting with a solid wall and providing the same oversized, overhead doors. . The clear height of the building is barely acceptable, and limited at best. Portions of the roof structure would have to be raised. Note that this could also be viewed as an opportunity (i.e. raised skylight areas could be added for both height and daylight). . The existing HVAC system is most likely inadequate for the vehicle area. Requirements for this type of use far exceeds that available in the building. The existing system is a old and inefficient at best, but may be serviceable for a few years, for office use. . The building is very inefficient from an energy/insulation standpoint. . This ongoing cost should be explored as a part of the package. . There will be a good deal of cost for electrical distribution. The total electrical capacity will have to be reviewed in more detail, but it is safe to say it is on the minimal side, especially given the welding, power and equipment requirements for both public works and administration. . The site area is grossly inadequate for all projected use and storage needs. The water tower site adds almost nothing to the equation. The site to the south includes a good manufacturing/shipping building but does little to help in the open site requirements for the city. Further, the adjacent building and the one in question do not have a good fit with the needs of the city, as a combined deaL I can expound on this, at your request. .. The exterior pavement is in poor condition. A simple overlay in this case would not be prudent, as the existing sub-base, base and pavement design are far from adequate for the public works' regular 5 to 8 ton vehicle/ equipment loads. 7) There are many other less significant items that we could discuss, but any retrofit of any building would have its share of minor "fit" problems. . , . ". . Fundamental. in this case, is the appropriateness of the building for conversion, or the relative cost to make the conversion work. This building has some possibilities but is questionable for use as public works/maintenance. Just as important, the site is not large enough to accommodate the . storage, operational, maneuvering and parking requirements. 8) More study would be necessary to determine the actual costs of conversion, and per my discussion with Dorothy, we should wait on this until the effort appears worthwhile. Still, for $300,000.00 to $500,000.00, a retrofit could be . performed, but almost all the cost would go into just making the building minimally functional, not attractive. And there still would be the dilemma of the inadequate floor slab, paving, capacities and related items. Please advise if you require additional information on this site or any other needs you may have. tc. . . . . BRW ELNESS ARCHITECTS INC , I~I -. Invoice .

SUE ALLIEGRO ~ DAV~D LUNDSTROM It was noted that Judge Fitzpatrick was invited to today's meeting, but was not able to attend. Sue Alliegro, Ramsey County District court Administrator, was present to discuss the court's fine practices. She explained that some Ramsey County Judges do not assess full fine levels to . all violators because they don't think that they can afford to pay them, and also because of poor collection results. Under a new fine collection procedure, Judges have now been taken out of the process. David W. Lundstrom, Ramsey County Court Administrator (Criminal & Traffic Division) , explained the new two-phased approach to collecting fines as follows: Phase 1: The county has hired a professional Fine Collection Manager from the private sector, who follows up non-payments with phone calls and can put violators on a payment schedule. Since hiring the Fine Collection Manager, fine collections have increased by 24%. This collection process reduces the need to issue warrants to the violators who don't pay their fines. Phase 2 : Utilizes the state of Minnesota Revenue Department (Minnesota Collection Enterprises), to collect fines, by way of access to income tax returns. They can also perform "skip" tracings to find valid addresses. Ramsey County is the first "pilot" project to utilize this approach to collection. The goal will be to collect fines as . .Sheriff contract Group Minutes ,. september 15, 1994 soon as possible, as the longer it takes to collect, the less the . chance that ,it will ever be collected. Ramsey County Judges have approved this new two-phased approach. Mr. Lundstrom indicated that Ramsey County will soon be using a voice/audio information system, where defendants can call the courts to get the status of their fines/violations. Ms. Alliegro suggested that Ramsey, and maybe Hennepin counties, have been known for being more "understanding" to violators by giving lower fines. They are not known for being as tough as Washington, Chisago and Anoka Counties. Mr. Lundstrom explained that the fine schedule was adjusted up slightly in August, 1994. Prior to that, it had been many years since the last adjustment. He explained that additional assess- ments which are imposed by and transmitted to the state are taken off the top of the fines and have grown significantly (i.e. relief funds, library fees, etc.). It is his opinion that the increase in these assessments has had significant impact on the fine revenues actually collected by the Contract Communities. Ms. Alliegro explained that urban counties with large cities are finding that the large city police departments are writing fewer citations for the types of crimes committed in suburbs. This has resulted from their focus on the growing number of more serious crimes. Consequently, Judges are serving more and more of the . serious crimes, which may cause them to deemphasize traffic and other suburban crimes. Mr. Lundstrom explained that violators who go to the Traffic violation Bureau have the choice of either paying the fine or appealing to a Hearing Officer. He also noted that Hearing Officers tend to reflect the fine philosophy of the Judge. Ms. Alliegro suggested that the Sheriff's Contract Group meet with the Bail Relief Committee (which includes Judges Faricy, Wilson & Klas). ANIMAL CONTROL SERVICES. INC. = PROCEDURES Rick Ruzicka, President, ACSI, provided hand outs containing the following information: 1) Animal Control Procedures; 2) Kennel Hours; 3) Patrol Schedule; 4) National Animal Control Association Training Institute. The handouts were discussed and Mr. Ruzicka answered questions regarding his service. NUISANCE ORDINANCE REVIEW Commander Bergeron requested that discussion of the Nuisance Ordinance be postponed until the October or November meeting. . 2 Sheriff Contract Group Minutes , . september ~5, ~994 COMMUNITY POLICE SHARING CONFERENCE . Commander Bergeron handed cut information describing a ,Community Policing Conference which will be held on October 27-29, 1994, in St. Cloud, MN. He suggested that some or all of the Sheriff Contract Community representatives attend, in that matters proposed to be discussed at this conference are applicable to the contract communities interest in strategic planning. STATUS OF GEM LAKE LAW ENFORCEMENT CONTRACT Commander Bergeron mentioned that Gem Lake had been contacted by the City of WBL with an interest in submitting a bid to provide them police service. The members of the Group suggested that Commander Bergeron inform Gem Lake that they would like them to continue to contract with the Sheriff's Department and that he emphasize the Group's willingness to work with them on service and cost. OTHER MATTERS Person mentioned that she had been contacted by Jim Tolaas, Ramsey County Department of Public Wcrks, regarding renaming Highway 96. She said that the communities abutting the highway will be asked to submit candidate names, and select a preferred name. The meeting adjourned at 9:20 a.m. .

ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - SEPTEMBER 26, 1994 5 UNFINISHED AND NEW BUSINESS APPRO V AL OF ORDINANCE NO. 297: AMENDMENTS TO CHAPTER 18. ARDEN HILLS OTY CODE Fritsinger stated that this item is in regard to Section 18, Transient Merchants and Peddling, Earlier this year, in the process of amending this ordinance, the City Attorney recommended that further clarification be made in the ordinance, One recommendation was to define transient merchant and identifY specifically where they are allowed to do business, The following sections have been revised: Section 18-14(a) provides consistent changes of the word practices to signs, Section 18-14(d) clearly states that open sales lots are not allowed within the City of Arden Hills. The other reason for amending the full chapter of the ordinance is to make certain that it is consistent with the Municipal Code Book He recommended the Council adopt the Ordinance 297, including the proposed amendments of Chapter 18, as recommended by the City Attorney. MOTION: Hicks moved and Malone seconded a motion to adopt Ordinance 297 to amend Chapter 18 of the City Code, The motion was unanimously approved (4-0), CASE 94-22 - SITE PLAN REVIEW AND LOT CONSOLIDATION - ST. VOLODYMYR & . ST. OLGA UKRAINIAN ORTHODOX CHURCH REOUEST FOR SPECIAL USE PERMIT Fritsinger stated that the applicant is requesting a special use permit to operate a house of worship in an R-I district, A house of worship is allowed in the R-I zoning district through a special use permit. Submitted for Council's consideration is the site plan for the church and lot consolidation of the property reviewed and approved by the City (Case No, 90-11). There has been a delay in the construction, and the ordinance requires that the applicant have the project reviewed again, The Planning Commission did review and unanimously approved the lot consolidation, site plan and SUP, The proposal has been scaled down from the one presented in 1990, In 1990, the City encouraged the applicant to acquire an adjacent single family residence property, which the church has done and is including in the lot consolidation. The property now consists of approximately 4,8 acres. Fritsinger stated that City regulations require 65% of the property to be landscaped, and this plan shows 64+%, Church officials are working with staff to achieve more landscaping and reduce parking spaces, The area is fairly level and wooded with many mature trees, Under the landscaping plan, the site would require approximately 43,5 caliper inches of landscaping, The applicant is planning a number of plantings in the plaza. A black spruce is planned for the entrance area, and Norway pines were added to the southwest corner to comply with the 43.5 caliper inch requirement. City Code allows 35 feet of height for a structure. When the domes and spires are completed on the church, it will be 90 feet in height. There is an exemption clause in the ordinance for church spires so these will be in compliance. There is a delineated wetland on the site and some encroachment. Rice Creek Watershed District has reviewed the plan and issued a permit to allow the encroachment, . The City Engineer has also reviewed the plan and stated that other than the drainage easements, ---- ----.-.-- - ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - SEPTEMBER 26, 1994 6 . everything appeared okay, There will be no accent lighting for the domes and spires. Two outdoor signs are proposed, one at each entrance. All mechanical equipment on the roof will be located on the south side and will have a painted screen, Fritsinger stated that the existing drainage flows through pipes at the northeast boundary of the property, The runoff from Highway 96 at TCAAP flows onto this site, into the wetland and is carried out through the North Heights Church drainage system by a series of existing pipes, In order to allow for drainage to flow under the proposed road, a new pipe is proposed. The City Engineer has reviewed the drainage plans and has no concerns other than to secure the easements for drainage, Fritsinger stated that MNIDOT has identified some issues. One is the runoff rate and flow control to make sure the pipe is of sufficient size to prevent any backup of water to the T.H 96 ditch area. MNIDOT also has traffic concerns. The plan shows the same entrances as proposed in 1990, with a curb cut at the southeast comer and one on the north, There is a current median cut on T.H 96, primarily to allow for left turns into the TCAAP property, Both MNIDOT and Ramsey County are concerned about traffic using that cut to turn left across eastbound traffic into the site, Ramsey County has encouraged staff to look at having the main entrance on Old Snelling. MNIDOT has indicated that they are willing to allow a right turn off ofT.H 96 but no exit. Staff believes a right-in and right-out option would be appropriate, One of the difficulties in working with MNIDOT and the county is that T.H 96 is scheduled to be turned back to Ramsey County by November 1, 1994, Staff was able to have representatives from both the county and MNIDOT look at the site, and no major . problems were found, All of these issues must be resolved before a building permit can be issued for any construction on the site, Fritsinger reported that the Fire Department requested that the applicant prepare an area on the south side of the site to allow access for fire protection and emergency vehicles, The applicant has agreed to improve the south area of the site to a 10-ton capacity to accommodate emergency vehicle access. Fritsinger stated that the lot consolidation is necessary because of the number of variances which would be required otherwise, Staff is recommending consolidation at this time, Fritsinger stated that the last issue for consideration is park dedication. The subdivision ordinance does require park dedication, Based on past practice and using North Heights Church as an example, staff proposed that 10% park dedication be approved, The North Heights Church dedication was approximately 3/4 park and 1/4 wetland. In reviewing market value of the consolidation and park dedication, staff estimated that the park dedication is approximately $17,000. The City Council may consider the exclusion of the market value of the residential home which would reduce the fee to $7,200, The applicant had stated the park dedication requirements are unreasonable and would like further discussion on this matter, Fritsinger stated that the Planning Commission did review the proposal as presented and did . unanimously recommend approval of the lot consolidation to operate a house of worship on this site, ----- ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - SEPTEMBER 26, 1994 7 . subject to the conditions identified in the City Planner's report, Hicks asked if the rationale for reducing the park dedication fee from $17,000 to $7,200 is the fact that a house is already existing on the site, Fritsinger stated that the reduction reflects just the market value of the land, The existing house is will stay on the property and, therefore, it is appropriate to include only the bare land value. Hicks stated that mention was made of an additional curb cut on Old Snelling Avenue and the one on the south end would be closed, He asked if the additional cut would be an alternative. Fritsinger stated that the curb cut identified by Ramsey County is an effort to get traffic away from nearby residences When North Heights Church was approved, there was a similar requirement. Hicks noted surprise that Rice Creek Watershed District would allow this proposed encroachment on wetland, Fritsinger stated that under the wetland laws, there are a number of exemptions which still apply, In this case, the applicant has shown Rice Creek Watershed District the intention to complete a project that was approved under the old laws, . Malone asked if an alternate exit to the east will be built, Fritsinger stated that the applicant is still proposing the current exit as part of the site plan. His earlier comments reflect Ramsey County's position. He believes the ordinance requires a 35- to 45-foot setback from that intersection, Malone stated that the design is good, and he would like to see it come back as it has been originally proposed. He asked if it is correct to say that the westbound traffic will not be allowed to turn left and cross the eastbound traffic to enter the site, Fritsinger stated that because of the median cut, it could be allowed with proper signage, MNIDOT recommends a "right turn only" into the site at this intersection and "no exit" to eliminate traffic turning across the highway. The proposed plan does prohibit left turns across T.H. 96, but because of the median cut it would be difficult to enforce, Malone noted that traffic exiting North Heights Church turns left to go west on T.R. 96, He believes this median cut and the one by North Heights Church may be closed in the future, Fritsinger stated that may be the reason why Ramsey County is encouraging access from ala Snelling Avenue, . Aplikowski asked the size of the congregation and capacity of the new building, -.------ ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - SEPTEMBER 26, 1994 8 . Mr. Oleg Gregoret, 950 Lombard Avenue, St. Paul, stated that he is the architect for the congregation and Chairman of the Building Committee, At the present time there are 80 families in the church, They are counting heavily on this new church to attract members from two other congregations in the Twin Cities, The church is designed for ISO seats and a parish hall for 300 people. The greatest number of people estimated to be on site at anyone time is 300. Hicks stated that he would like to see more elevation on the opposite side of the courtyard, Mr. Gregoret stated that the church is designed with a hemispherical dome with half of a wall. Hicks asked the applicant's reaction to the recommendations made by Ramsey County. Mr. Buhajenko stated that this is the first time they have seen the report. The church's position is that access from T.H 96 is necessary for people coming from St. Paul or Minneapolis on 1-35W that then would come down T.H 96 and would be able to make a right turn into the church, They would be leaving on Old Snelling or by a right turn onto T.H 96. Church officials have not been counting on the median cut being available to the church in the future, Hicks asked how many private residences are located on the east side of Old Snelling Avenue adjacent to this property. Fritsinger answered that there are only two or three and are located on large lots, . Hicks stated that the county engineer's recommendations are to minimize the impact of traffic, MNIDOT and county representatives have initially looked at the site, but no final recommendations have been given, only their initial reactions The main thing is to keep traffic away from the Highway 96 intersection, Aplikowski stated that she does not see any problem with the original design using the present curb cuts, Any place one goes to church is in a residential area. She can see the benefit of using the access from T.H 96 and would hope it can be worked out. MOTION Hicks moved and Malone seconded a motion to approve Case No, 94-22, Site Plan Review and Lot Consolidation for the Ukrainian Church, and special use permit, subject to the nine points stated in the Planning Commission minutes, dated September 7, 1994. Discussion: Mayor Probst stated that the right-of-way exists currently and the Planning Commission is encouraging the applicant to pursue the release of that right-of-way to become part of the church property. Hicks agreed to withdraw that condition as part of the motion. The motion was unanimously approved (4-0), . ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - SEPTEMBER 26, 1994 9 . The Pastor of the church thanked the Council on behalf of the church members for supporting their plan. Many people from Minneapolis are waiting for this church because there are only three churches in the Twin Cities area, His people are an ethnic minority but already there is a generation born here who are committed to this church. He thanked the Councilmembers again, blessed them and invited them to the consecration of the church next fall. Hicks noted that even after recalculating the park dedication to the reduced amount, church officials would like to negotiate an amount that would be even less, He stated that he believes the $7,200 amount is reasonable, All Councilmembers concurred on this position. Fritsinger stated that the church officials would like to see the wetland applied to that formula to reduce the amount further, as was done for North Heights Church. Hicks stated that he recognizes the precedent but does not believe the Council should consider the same action that was an error in the past and continue it into the future. Aplikowski asked what the amount would be if the wetland were taken into consideration, Fritsinger stated that he did not have the exact square footage. The Project Architect has stated he believes the dedication could be reduced to almost the full 100%. . Aplikowski stated that she agrees with Hicks' position. While there may be a small window for negotiation, in her mind it would be very small. Hicks stated that because the wetland is totally contained on the church property and the usual benefit of a wetland is primarily for the residents as a park or place to attract water fowl and wildlife, He would recommend that no credit be given for the wetland, CASE NO. 94-19 - ZONING ORDINANCE AMENDMENT AND APPROVAL OF ORDINANCE 299 Fritsinger stated that this item is related to the earlier discussion of transient merchants and how the zoning ordinance addresses open sales lots, Since a definition is not included in the land use chart, the ordinance is interpreted to mean that open sales lots are not permitted within the City, For the purposes of clarification and consistency between ordinances and City Code, retail sales on open lots are not allowed in Arden Hills, The definition of retail sales does not include open sales lots. This revision was reviewed by the Planning Commission at their July meeting and unanimously approved, MOTION: Malone moved and Aplikowski seconded a motion to approve Case No, 94-19, and adopt Ordinance 299, as amended, with direction to staff to publish summaries of Ordinance No, 297 . and No, 299. The motion was unanimously approved (4-0), -------.-- ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - SEPTEMBER 26, 1994 10 . ADMINISTRATOR COMMENTS Person stated that the City has completed a one-year review of the 1993 north water tower restoration project, An amount of $6,977.13 was held until completion of the final punch list of items. Mr, Winkel and the consulting engineers are in agreement that the work is completed satisfactorily and would request that final payment be released to Odland Protective Coatings, Inc. MOTION Malone moved and Aplikowski seconded a motion to authorize final payment to Odland Protective Coatings, Inc., in the amount of $6,977.13, for completion of the water tower restoration work, The motion was approved unanimously (4-0). Person reported that staff is working with PDI on job evaluations in the City, A final report should be available within a few weeks, Also, ordinance codification is being updated, Any changes will be submitted to the Council for review. The majority of changes in the first three chapters are administrative and related to licensing, While not extensive, some discussion will be needed. Person stated that October 10 is a holiday (Columbus Day) which is not mandatory, She asked if the Council would like to meet on that regular meeting day or change the meeting date. It was the consensus of the Council to meet on October 10, 1994, as scheduled. Person noted the scheduled worksession date is October 20, 1994, and the second regular Council . meeting is October 31, 1994. Malone asked if the October 31 Council meeting could be moved to October 24, 1994. After some discussion Councilmembers agreed to hold the Council meeting on the regularly scheduled night of October 31, 1994, and move the worksession meeting date to Tuesday, October 18, 1994, at 4:30 p,m. in the City public works building. MOTION: Malone moved and Hicks seconded a motion to schedule the worksession meeting for October 18, 1994, at 430 p.m, The motion was unanimously approved (4-0), COUNCIL COMMENTS Malone asked if the changes in the codification process include all deletions from code, such as the personnel section into policy. Person stated that staff is working on the details of this process, Aplikowski stated that it is frustrating to look for papers at the Council meeting and not have all of the appropriate papers. She wondered whether there was a better way to organize and decrease unnecessary paper. Person stated that within the last couple of weeks staff has been looking at other city councils and how council packets are organized. She is conducting a review of various cities' approach to packet . information and organization, . . ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - SEPTEMBER 26, 1994 11 Mayor Probst referred to Cable TV infonnation re: legislative changes needed, Malone suggested that the City Cable TV representative, Mr. Sand, may be able to give the Council an update of the recent laws and the future of Cable TV. Garritt Lysiak has been asked to act as the technical Cable advisor and may be able to assist also. Mayor Probst reported that at the Mayors' meeting on crime in the metro area, there was discussion about juvenile crime and establishing unifonn curfews in every city throughout the metro area. He encouraged staff to make sure the City is in confonnance with that regulation. Fritsinger stated that he received a telephone call on that very issue. The person calling encouraged the City not to participate in that process because it is the responsibility of the parents, and setting curfews is ridiculous, Aplikowski asked if the City has a curfew, Person stated that the City does have an ordinance for a curfew, which is fairly consistent with neighboring cities. The Sheriff's Group has been working on that issue for a couple of months in all of the northern suburbs, Mayor Probst stated that he received a mailing from Ramsey County inviting the City to participate . in the "no net loss of park lands" program, Mayor Probst urged Councilmembers to endorse the resolution, MOTION Mayor Probst moved and Hicks seconded a motion to endorse the Ramsey County resolution regarding no net loss of park lands, The motion was approved unanimously (4-0). Mayor Probst commended staff for the effort in putting together a training manual for Councilmembers, It will be valuable to pass on to new committee members to acquaint them with a wide range of issues that are going on in the City, MOTION: Malone moved and Aplikowski seconded a motion to adjourn the meeting at 8:52 p,m, The motion was unanimously approved (4-0).

These changes were detailed in the minutes provided with your November 2, 1994 Planning Cormtission Packet. 'These ordinance changes were related to the revisions proposed to Chapter 5, Anirmls & Pets, of Arden Hills Municipal Code. Attached you will find a surrrnary of these changes for your consideration. . Enclosure BF\jt . . 1.

CITY OF ARDEN HILLS . MEKlRl\NDIJM DATE : October 27, 1994 TO: Mayor and City Council FRCM: Brian Fritsinger, C........mity Planning Coordinator@) SUBJECI': Ordinance #300 Attached you will find Ordinance]:.b. 300 relating to the regulation of dogs, cats, and wild animals. This ordinance is the result of discussions held this past year to address change to Chapter 5 of the Arden Hills Municipal Code. As a result of the number and type of change proposed, the City attorney has suggested that Chapter 5 be repealed and Chapter 5.5 be added. This allows the City to revise the ordinance so that it rray be redesigned as well as adding new language. . The changes proposed by staff are those which were discussed at a City Council worksession on July 21, 1994. The rrajor changes are as follows: 1- Kermels Article 2 now addresses both carrnercial and residential dog kennels. The residential dog kennel license is not required for these individuals who have an actual dog kennel. A separate license is required for those individuals who have a dog kennel. The residential dog kennel license is required for individuals who desire to have 3 (three) dogs in a dwelling unit. Currently only 2 (two) dogs are allowed per dwelling unit. 2. Definitions Several new definitions were added to address various parts of the chapter. . 3. Dis"""'ed\Viciaus Doas . The Council may recall that the MN Council of Dog Clubs had expressed concerns about our definition of a diseased dog. Subsequently, the organization provided a lengthy rabies ordinance to address this issue. tJ'f ()~5 O.) rJ As staff reviewed this with the local animal =trol DISr:1~ ~ officer, City Attorney, and League of MN Cities, all ~N'I ~~ agreed that the existing sections of the ordinance were c~ adequate to address these areas. ,/' ;w ~ The Council should note that staff has separated diseased /\~ dog and vicious dog in the proposed ordinance. 4. Minor Lavout or Vezbiaae Chanaes There are substantial changes to the layout and language of the ordinance as recarrrended by our attorney. These changes do not alter the intent of the ordinance. RecClllIl1erlda tian Staff would recarrrend that the City Council adopt Ordinance No. 300 which adds Chapter 5.5 and repeals Chapter 5 frc:m the Arden Hills . Municipal Code.

CITY OF ARDm mILS MEM)RAN[)lJM DATE: October 20, 1994 TO: Mayor and City Council FRCM: Brian Fritsinger, Ccmmmi.ty Planning Coord:ina~ SUBJECT : MetroEast Deve10pnent Partnership Recently, I met with Debra Barkley and Jeff Raegeth of MetroEast Ceveloprrent Partnership (MEDP). At this meeting, we discussed the activities of the partnership and how the firm could assist Arden Hills. At this meeting, MEDP requested that the City of Arden Hills pledge to be a member for the next two years. The cost of this membership is $1000/yr or a total of $2000. . At the time I was hired by the City, Ms. Person and I discussed Arden Hills potential involvement with MEDP. In fact, we had expected this request to be made llU.lch earlier than now. Attached you will find a copy of the organization's 1994 - 96 strategic plan. Within this plan, it identifies most of the benefits that membership will give Arden Hills. These seIVices range frcm business leads to business consulting. MEDP has been providi..'1g, at no cost to the City, these seIVices for the past several years. In one sense, they have lJea-..n aceing in a role similar to that des=ibed by the City Council several months ago when they mentioned an economic developrrent oonsultant. other neightoring cClTl11t.lIlities, such as M::lunds View, are =ently members of this organization. The only other economic developrrent organization that I am aware of in this area costs between $10-15,000 per year. I believe that for the $1000 fee the assistance provided to the City can be well justified. A portion of tr.e Planning Consultant fees budgeted for 1995 could be used for this membership. Staff would reccmrend that the City Council . consider approving the MEDP Membership. - __.______u__ _ , . FORWARD .

MEM)RAN[)lJM DATE: September 20, 1994 TO: Dorothy Person, City Administrator FRCM@ Terry Post, City Accountant SUBJECT : County Administrative Costs f= Local IIIprovements Assessments An 8\30\94 letter from Chris Samuel, Rarrsey County Manager L:x:al Government Policy & Research to myself outlines a new Minnesota Statute and its 1995 impact on the City of Arden Hills. The 1993 legislature added Minnesota Statutes 429.061, subd. 5 which provides in part that "... a municipality shall pay to the county auditor all administrative expenses incurred by the county under subdivision 3 for each special assessment of any local improvement . certified by the municipality to the oounty auditor." Ramsey County is proposing a fee of $2.50 per assessment per parcel per year if the County maintains the assessment rolls. The estimated charge to Arden Hills for 1995 is $928 (based on the count of active assessments as of 8\18\94) . Services the county provides in maintaining the assessment rolls include the following: 1. Enter new assessment rolls into the database including making a record of payments before certification. 2. Collect, distribute and report payments made before certification of the assessments to the tax list (prepayments). 3. Keep a record of senior citizen, green acres and municipal deferment. Provide payoff l:alances to tm:payers upon request. 4. Process parcel splits and ccmbinations based upon City recomrendations for assessment allocations to the new parcels. 5. Adjust assessment rolls based upon city charges to the roll made by resolution. 6. Answer tm:payer and City assessment l:alance requests. . County Re.au",st . Ramsey County Property Records and revenue has asked each City to positively confirm if the llU.lnicipality wishes to include the fee on the 1995 tax statement along with the City's special assessments. Re.ccm11!".ndat ion The County will be charging the City sarething in 1995 because of the statute change. The impact could range frcm $.40 per parcel per year (approximately $150 per year) with the City maintaining the assessment rolls to $2.50 per parcel per year (approximately $930 per year)with the County maintaining the assessment rolls. The $780 difference in oost($150 VB. $930) results frcm a City having the software and hardware abilities to produce a tape for the county coupled with adequate staffing to provide seIVices 1 - 6 outlined above . I believe that $930 per year is a reasonable service fee for the county to provide "turnkey" assessment roll maintenance and that the City of Arden Hills should advise Ramsey County that the fee should be included on the 1995 tax statement along with the other City special assessments. . If you con= or want to discuss this issue further, please get back to me. . --------- Page 2 .
