I MOTION: Hicks moved, and Malone seconded, a motion to approve the lease agreement with
OneComm Corporation, pending final approval from Attorney Filla and direct
staff to execute all necessary documents and direct the applicant to work with the
I City Engineer to assure that all construction plans are reviewed prior to any work
being undertaken. The motion carried unanimously (4-0).
I ADOPT RESOLUTION 95-15: ORDERING FEASIBILITY REPORT FOR. 1995
SEALCOAT. OVERLAY AND RECONSTRUCTION PROJECTS.
I Superintendent Winkel reviewed the memo regarding 1995 Pavement improvements.
Superintendent Winkel noted the Council should be aware that Stowe Avenue is also included
I in this Feasibility study. He indicated it is important to include Stowe A venue in the Feasibility
Study at this time if a project is to be completed on that street this year.
I Superintendent Winkel reviewed the streets proposed for improvements. He indicated staff will
have a presentation ready for the Public Hearing on all of these streets. He noted the presentation
I. will include a description of the pavement management program outlining how all of the streets
are rated.
Mayor Probst inquired if there are sources to cover the costs of including Stowe A venue, between
I Lake Johanna and New Brighton Rd., in the 1995 improvements. Superintendent Winkel
indicated there are sources, unless the County Road F improvement project would be higher than
I estimated. In that case, there may be less available for Stowe A venue.
Mayor Probst indicated if it would mean completing improvements on Stowe A venue, he would
I prefer less overlay on some other streets. He believed the improvements on Stowe were a higher
priOrity.
I Councilmember Malone indicated concern that Hamline Avenue was in need of repairs.
Superintendent Winkel agreed, and inquired if Council would like Hamline to be included in the
Feasibility Study, or if due to the issue of the County turnback, the City would prefer to wait.
I Councilmember Malone indicated he would prefer to see the improvements made in order to
maintain the road. Councilmember Malone stated it is important to maintain the road now so
I as to avoid more costly repairs in the future.
Superintendent Winkel then requested the Council consider amending the Feasibility Study to
I include Hamline Avenue.

I
Councilmember Malone also indicated concern for Arden View Drive, the roadway is in good
I condition, but there are dips in the pavement. Superintendent Winkel indicated this could be
looked into further this next summer.
I MOTION: Hicks moved, and Malone seconded, a motion to adopt Resolution 95-15,
Ordering Feasibility Report for 1995 Sealcoat, Overlay & Reconstruction projects,
with the amendment including Hamline Avenue from T.H. 96 to Floral Drive.
I The motion carried unanimously (4-0).
I Mayor Probst indicated he would review the cost of the improvements to Hamline and if the cost
is large, he would favor work on other streets before work on Hamline is done.
I Superintendent Winkel indicated the length of the project on Hamline would be just short of a
mile, but costs can be reviewed and presented to the Council.
I ADMINISTRA TOR COMMENTS
I- City Administrator Fritsinger indicated this past fall the City made a request to the Army
Reserve, to use their building for City Council and City Planning Commission meetings. He
indicated the Reserve responded this past week and approved the first Wednesday and second
Monday of the month, but did not note if the last or fourth Monday would be available for the
I City to use.
City Administrator Fritsinger inquired if the Council would like him to pursue using the Army
I Reserve Building.
I Mayor Probst indicated he would prefer to hold meetings in Arden Hills and to pursue using the
Army Reserve.
I Councilmember Malone indicated he would also prefer returning to Arden Hills, but would like
a calendar set, since the letter indicated that dates could change at any time. He was also
concerned that holding a Council meeting in a classroom setting would not be appropriate.
I Councilmember Hicks indicated he would also prefer to pursue the Army Reserve building, even
though New Brighton has been very generous in letting the Council use their chambers.
I Mayor Probst directed the City Administrator to pursue using the Army Reserve for City
meetings and to clarify a calendar with a commitment to the dates needed.

the reconstruction of station number two.
I Councilmember Keirn indicated she had attended the Newly Elected Officials Seminar and noted

policies and ADA requirements. This may be a future project for the Committee.
I Mayor Probst reminded everyone of the meeting on Thursday, February 16, to be held with all
committees and commissions. He indicated he had information regarding the Arsenal and also
I- this would give him an opportunity to introduce Mr. Fritsinger as the new City Administrator.

January 3,1995, Special Council Meeting.
I January 9,1995, Regular Council Meeting.
I Councilmember Malone had a clarification for the January 9, 1995 Meeting, page three.
Councilmember Malone noted there has not yet been a determination of assessment at this point.
I He indicated typically, the Council would base assessments on the value -provided by the
improvement. As a matter of past practice, the Council has assessed half of the value of a typical
residential street, not necessarily the project at hand, to the resident.
I Councilmember Keim also indicated clarification, her question was: would the resident be
assessed 50% of the total cost, or would the resident be assessed 50% of the reduced cost after
I contribution from the county for the project.

I
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - JaNUARY 30 1995 2 .1
I
Councilmember Malone indicated the money received by the county is not included in the
equation. Councilmember Malone indicated the assessment is based on a typical residential street, I
disregarding any outside funds received.
Therefore the correction to the January 9, 1995 Regular Council Meeting page three, paragraph I
six, should read :Councilmember Keirn q.l1estioned reg.arding the assessments to the residents.
would the assessment be 50% of the total value of the improvement. or 50% of the value of the I
improvement after receiving funds from the County. Councilmember Malone indicated outside
funds are not included in the equation. and the assessment would be based on the total value of
the improvement of which 50% is typicallv assessed to the resident. However no assessments I
have been determined for this case. at this time.
Mayor Probst noted a typographical error on page three in Resolution No. 95-06 should read I
Plans and Specifications.
Mayor Probst indicated on page six, the first paragraph, he would like it to read: Ma.yor Probst I
indicated there are various residents or comminee members who perhaps would be interested in
participating as members of the Metropolitan Council comminees that have vacancies if anyone -I
is aware of those who would be interested. please notity City Hall.
Mayor Probst indicated that the minutes should reflect on page seven, the paragraph six, with the
added comment: The date originally scheduled was January 19. 1995 and was subsequently I
changed to Januarv 24. 1995.

I. blWEN HILLS CITY COUNt;;IL - JANUARY 30. 1995 3
I Councilmember Malone noted item 4(a) , the application for grant funding for the COPS
I AHEAD program. Councilmember Malone indicated, typically grant funding is a short term
funding for a long term expense, but after conferring with Staff, this grant merely pre-funds
personnel changes that would be budgeted in the Sheriff's Department anyway, and he therefore
I supports this grant submittal.
MOTION: Keim moved and Hicks seconded a motion to approve the Consent Calendar as
I presented, and authorize execution of all necessary documents contained therein.
The motion carried unanimously (5-0).
I PUBLIC COMMENTS
Mr. Roger Aiken, 4360 Hamline, requested to approach the Council. Mr. Aiken lives on
I Hamline A venue south of the Arsenal, he is present to inform Council of a consistent drainage
problem on his property. Mr. Aiken indicated this problem has occurred for the past four to five
years. He indicated he did not wish to complain and not have a solution, so he therefore
I presented Council with a mitigation report that he drafted.
I- Mr. Aiken briefly reviewed his report, locating his parcel and surrounding parcels. Mr. Aiken
indicated construction has nearly been completed on an adjoining parcel.
I Mr. Aiken noted the flooding has clearly occurred since the clearing of the adjoining properties
and is not due to weather or any other natural anomalies. He indicated due to the flooding he
has been denied access to his own garage. He realizes the portion of his land which is flooding,
I is not large, but it is a important portion of his property.
Mr. Aiken indicated filling the area would be appropriate to stabilize the soil and provide a more
I defined boundary.
Mr. Aiken indicated other issues beside the flooding will come to the attention of the Council,
I he noted the Watershed district also has concerns of noncompliance, although he is not sure of
all the details, but believes RCWD will contact the City shortly.
I Mr. Aiken asked the Council to consider his plight and inform him of their position after they
are able to review the issues.
I Mayor Probst inquired if Staff has had an opportunity to review this issue. Acting Administrator
Post indicated Staff has not yet been able to review the issues thoroughly.
I Mayor Probst indicated after Staff has further chance to review, he would like Council to address
I- this issue at its earliest worksession available.

I
I
~~DEN HILLS CITY COUN<;:IL - JANUARY 30. 1995 4 .1
I
Councilmember Malone indicated he concurred.
Councilmember Hicks indicated when Staff is reviewing this issue, he would like information I
regarding the fill on Lot A and what violations have occurred.
Superintendent Winkel indicated the City did receive a copy of a warning and order from the I
Watershed District, issued to the homeowner, where they will be required to remove some of the I
fill along the west portion and put up a construction fence to prevent soil going into the pond.
Superintendent Winkel indicated the City will continue to work with the Watershed District on
monitoring the issues of this property. I
UNFINISHED AND NEW BUSINESS
PLANNING CASE #95-01: ONE COMM CORPORA nON SPECIAL USE PERMIT I
City Planner F ritsinger briefly review the Staff report regarding the request of a Special Use I
Permit and Site Plan approval for placement of antennas and construction of an equipment
building at the Red Fox Road water tower. -I
Mr. Fritsinger indicated the Planning Commission recommended approval of this request subject
to the conditions identified in the planning report.
Mr. Fritsinger indicated there is a lease agreement contained in the Council packet for review, but I
with issues still outstanding this item will be for discussion purposes only at this time. I
Mr. Fritsinger noted the applicant is proposing to place antennas, panels and an equipment
building at 1230 Red Fox Road. He indicated this proposal is very similar to the approved use I
of the 4251 Fernwood Avenue water tower by Cellular One.
Mr. F ritsinger stated three antennas are proposed to be located on the roof of the water tower. I
These antennas will be mounted to the existing pipe railing. The applicant is proposing nine
future panel antenna locations which would be constructed approximately 20 feet below the
bottom of the bowl. I
Mr. Fritsinger indicated Staff recommerds the Council concur with the Planning Commission
and approve Site Plan and Special Use Permit No. 95-01 to allow for the construction of an I
equipment building and placement of antennas on the water tower located at 1230 Red Fox Road
with the following conditions:
1. The equipment building shall be screened as proposed with trees to be in place no I
later than July 15, 1995. -I
,
I
I
I. h-RDEN HII:,LS CITY COUN~II. - TANUARY 30. 1995 5
I 2. The antennas, panels and mounting brackets shall all be painted to match the color
I of the tower.
3. No welding shall be done on the water tower tank or shell without the written
I approval of the City.
The antennas shall not exceed a height of 16'6" above the top of the water tower.
4.
I 5. At the time the side panel antennas are constructed all existing roof top antennas
will be removed.
I 6. A lease agreement shall be maintained with the City of Arden Hills which details
rent payments and other specific requirements of the City. If at any time the lease
I shall terminate, the SUP shall be reviewed and the City may impose other
restrictions or conditions as warranted.
I Councilmember Malone inquired if there would be a significant visual impact or would there be
any reflectors. A representative from One Comm indicated there would not be reflectors, the
I- antennas would be omni antennas and in the future they would be replaced with panels.
Mr. Winkel inquired as to what time frame the construction would be completed. The applicant
I indicated since there is an agreement to have the trees in place by July 15, they perhaps would put
the trees in first, and look to completion during the third quarter of the year.
I MOTION: Hicks moved and Aplikowski seconded motion to approve Planning Case #95-01;
One Comm Corporation Special Use Permit and Site Plan. The motion carried
unanimously (5-0).
I LEASE AGREEMENT WITH ONE COMM CORPORA nON
I Mr. Fritsinger indicated the Council had received a draft copy of the lease agreement between
One Comm Corporation and the City of Arden Hills. He noted this is for discussion, no action
I is required.
Mr. Fritsinger indicated the applicant's attorney would like to further review this agreement.
I This agreement is very similar to the one held with Cellular One, except the lease rate is a fixed
rate with scheduled increases over the life of the lease rather than a variable rate.
I Mayor Probst indicated he preferred this approach.

PLANNING CASE #95-03: EAST SIDE BEVERAGE SITE PLAN FENCE REQUEST. I
Mr. F ritsinger indicated the applicant is requesting the approval of a site plan consisting of a seven I
foot high chain link fence with a one foot strand barbed wire on the top. Mr. Fritsinger noted
the Planning Commission approved the request without the barbed wire addition. The applicant I
requests that the City Council reconsider the use of barbed wire for determent purposes.
Mr. Fritsinger indicated this fence is constructed at East Side Beverage, 1260 Grey Fox Road. Mr. .
Fritsinger indicated the applicant has contacted the City several times in the past with concerns
about theft and vandalism on the site. Primarily these problems have been caused by juveniles
who are frequently in the area. The fence is an attempt to reduce or eliminate this problem. I
Mr. Fritsinger noted the applicant apparently constructed the chain link portion of this fence in
August. This was in response to both a labor strike and the problems stated above. I
Councilmember Aplikowski inquired if the barbed wire would be around the entire length of the -I
fence. The applicant indicated, he is requesting that the south side and portion of the west side
have the barb wire attached excluding the gate area.
Councilmember Hicks questioned why only a portion of the fence and not all of the fence would I
have the barbed wire. The applicant indicated there is a greater problem of access on the south
side due to the railroad tracks, and thicker brush, where sometimes the product is hidden until I
a later time when it is picked up.
Councilmember Aplikowski inquired as to the objections of the Planning Commission. Mr. I
Fritsinger indicated their concern was the safety issues of barb wire and suggested alternative
preventive measures, such as lighting.
MOTION: Aplikowski moved and Hicks seconded a motion to approve Planning Case #95- I
03; East Side Beverage Site Plan Fence request with the one foot high barbed wire
along the south side and along approximately one-half of the west side. The I
motion carried unanimously (5-0).
PLANNING CASE #95-04: BETHEL COLLEGE SITE PLAN REVIEW I

buildings and a residence hall. The Planning Commission approved the plan subject to the two I
stated conditions.

I
I
I. boEDEN HILLS CITY COUNC;:IL - TANUARY 30. 1995 7
I Mr. Fritsinger indicated the proposed building additions are consistent with the approved Master
I Plan or the deviations in building footprint configurations are considered insignificant.
Mr. Fritsinger noted the proposed building additions, drives and walks will be well below the
I allowable percentage in the Special Use Permit.
Mr. Fritsinger indicated Staff recommends the Council concur with the Planning Commission
I and approve Planning Case No. 95-04; Site Plan Review for Bethel College for minor building
additions, with the following conditions:
I 1. Upon final City approval of this request, the Master Plan will be changed to reflect
the building additions.
I 2. The next application by Bethel College will address the parking issue as discussed
in this review. Any changes in the parking formula will require an amendment

I- next few months they would be providing additional parking and also reviewing the parking
space per student formula.
I MOTION: Malone moved and Keim seconded a motion to approve Planning Case #95-04;

I COUNCIL COMMENTS
I Council member Aplikowski extended congratulations to Mr. Fritsinger on his new position.
Councilmember Aplikowski indicated she would not be present at the next City Council meeting
I on February 13, 1995.
Councilmember Malone noted a bill that is before the legislature that would shift tax revenue out
I of the city once again. Council member Malone encouraged Council and residents to express their
opinions to elected officials. Councilmember Malone indicated this bill would result in a 20%-
30% cut to City property tax revenues.
I Councilmember Malone indicated residents would not see a change in their tax bill, but the
I reduction of revenues the City would receive would require a reduction in expenses in areas such
as Fire protection, Police protection and so on.
I- Mayor Probst indicated he also had concern for this bill, he wished the Staff would draft a formal
resolution that the City of Arden Hills is opposed to this bill and believe it to be unfair. Mayor
Probst would like this resolution to be passed on to the City's representative and on to the
I legislature.
Mayor Probst indicated that another bill would impose a levy freeze potentially in addition to
I the proposed revenue loss.
Councilmember Malone also commented that the City has been contributing to the fiscal
I disparities pool, but distributions from the pool have not equalled the contributions.
I Mayor Probst indicated the Mounds View School District is conducting a community survey and
has invited the surrounding cities to a meeting of which he will attend.
I Mayor Probst indicated the Governor is moving forward with a National :Volunteer's week
during the week of April 23 through April 29 and the Mayor would like to participate on the
City level and thank the those voluntee,rs in the City.
I Mayor Probst stated he has been invited to a Mayor's reception held by Mr. Coleman of St. Paul

I attend if he is available.

:,.,i!RCNMEN~AL Only a few punchlist items remain to be completed to final the project, at which time the
"'\...\i;(:;:...L testing and the remainder of the retainage will be paid. The original contract cost was_.

I MEMORANDUM
I DATE: February 10, 1995
TO: Mayor and City Council
I FROM: Brian Fritsinger, Community Planning coordinator@
I SUBJECT: OneComm Corp. Lease Agreement
I Attached the City Council will find a revised draft lease agreement with OneComm Corp. for the
placement of antennas on the Red Fox Road water tower.
I Staff has worked with the City Attorney to prepare this document. This lease is similar in
regards to the existing agreement with ,Cellular One but, it does have several differences. The
I Council should note the following details of the agreement:
.e 1. It allows for the placement of antennas on the water tower.
2. It allows for the construction of an equipment building.
3. The term of the lease is for five (5) years with four (4) additional five (5) year
I options.
4. The terms are as follows:
1 st five years = $750/mo
I 2nd five years = $862/mo
3rd five years = $991/mo
4th five years = $1140/mo
I 5th five years = $1311/mo
5. Tenant shall provide to the City two transportable telephones.
I At the last meeting, several members of the Council expressed concern about the agreements
apparent lack of language protecting the City from costs to repair damages created by the tenant.
I Attorney Filla and Public Works Superintendent Dan Winkel have developed some language
which should adequately address this concern. This language has not been included in the lease
I but should be available at the meeting.
The other language which has been requested by OneComm is as follows. It would be placed in
I Section 6. Attorney Filla is researching the impact of this request and is expected to have a
response by meeting time.

cure the conditions of noncompliance within the time frame allowed by the citing
agency, Tenant may terminate this lease immediately upon notice to Landlord and .
no further amowlts shall be due and payable by Tenant to Landlord.
The remainder of the contract is fairly standard and details items such as insurance coverage I
requirements, termination, etc.

MEMORANDUM
I DATE: February 9, 1995
I TO: Mayor and City Council
I FROM: Dan Winkel, Public Works Superintendent lJ.vJ.
SUBJECT: 1995 Pavement Improvements
I Staff has reviewed the 1992 pavement ratings for all City streets and have developed a 1995
Pavement Improvement project. The scope of the proposed project is outlined in a letter from
I City Engineer, Greg Stonehouse.
I As noted in Mr. Stonehouse's letter, staff has listed a primary program with alternate streets
included, should Council decide not to proceed with a street for any reason.
I Council should be aware that Stowe Avenue is also included in this Feasibility Study. Staff has
been discussing with Ramsey County the need to turn back this street so that an improvement
project could take place. Staff will receive the proposed resolutions to turn back Stowe Avenue
I- within the next two weeks. It is important to include Stowe Ave. in the Feasibility Study at this
time if a project is to be completed this year.
I Staff will have a presentation ready for the Public Hearing on all of these streets. The
presentation will include a description of the pavement management program outlining how all
of the streets are rated.

I RE: 1995 STREET IMPROVEMENTS
I Dear Dan:
As discussed during our meeting on December 3, 1995, we have prepared a revised list of
I streets requiring maintenance in the form of a seal coating or a bituminous overlay. This
list was prepared using past pavement ratings and on-site evaluation by our staff. Through
this analysis, the current street ratings (which are now three years old in 1995) will be
I C:V:,- :NGir'-J::\iNG sufficient for determining the streets requiring maintenance this summer.
:'-j\!,WNMU,it.L
..\UNICiPAL The primary function of this system is to assist the City in planning street improvement
I ?'.ANNING programs so that Arden Hills can address potentially major street problems before they
actually occur. It is vital to this system's operation that the City maintain and improve
SCUD WASTE
SPUCTURAL existing streets prior to their decline in order to avoid the high expense of reconstruction.
I SURVEvli-.JG
TRAf:{ Streets requiring attention this year are listed below with their respective lengths and the
I 7,,,NSFC'RT;.r::;1-.; type of maintenance required. As you may note, we have primarily selected streets within
the southern half of the City in an effort to minimize Contractor mobilization costs and,
HEC:'::Ct.L,~\:(:- ,!.~,C.:., therefore, the total project cost to the City. A list of alternate streets is also enclosed for
ENG '-,::~ING consideration if any streets on the priority list are delayed for any reason. It would be our
I ;.<V;.': recommendation to include all of these streets in the feasibility study to allow additions and
FC','i:~ )!5~R eu~:c-, deletions as dictated by the public hearing process.

This presents approximately $14,000 in seal coat alternates and $95,000 in overlay .
alternates, all of which lie within the vicinity of the proposed project. If the City would
desire to complete work in the northern portion of the City rnther than the southern portion,
a similar list can be compiled for that purpose. .
Based upon the costs presented above, the total project cost is estimated at approximately .
$190,000; however, as 50% of the overlay cost would be assessed to abutting property
owners in accordance with the City's assessment manual, the total cost to the City is
estimated at approximately $107,400. .
We also recommend the inclusion of Stowe Avenue in this Feasibility Study. As it is
anticipated that Ramsey County will turn Stowe Avenue back to the City of Arden Hills in .
1995, this would allow the City to maintain a schedule that could complete the Stowe
A venue reconstruction this summer. The estimated project cost of Stowe Avenue is
approximately $142,000. .

T have heard some disturbing rumors about the Columbia bus barns

are. I would also like to have the opportunity to glve some
I input before a direction lS taken and decisions are made.
.- Could you explain the process a little so that I can understand
how decisions will be made.
Could you notify me when discussions about these issues will be
I coming up for discussion in committees or council meetings.
- am not interested in being <3..n antagonist but a supporter of a
plan that makes sense for Aden Hills at large. the local
I corrununi ty that will be direct2.y affected, the bus 'company ane
Ramsey County.
I There does seem to be a problem with county road F and that is
very high levels of traffic from the high school and bus barn at
two peak times during school days. The morning also correlates
with rush hour and traffic from the Bethel Fountain Terrace
I residence. On weekends. vacations and during the summer it could
just as well be a quiet residential street. One goal and object
should be to reduce the amount of traffic at peak times. Some
I suggestions include: alternate parking for the hig~ school.
staggered time schedule for the high school. a bus only entrance
to the on ramp to 694 east that would be gate controlled and only
open .. ~\ . and afternoon ( the on ramp could be metered

I am also concerned that bussing could be significantly reduced

Subject: Turnback of Trunk Highway 96
As you are aware, Ramsey County has been \lorking with the Minnesota Department of .
Transporta tion to transfer jurisdiction over Trunk Highway % from the State to the
County. The iden t ified lfturnback" segment extends from Trunk Highway 61 in IIhi te Bear
Lake to Old Highway 8 in New Brighton. .
The turnback process was formally completed on January 26, 1995 -- placing the iden t1 tied
highway segment on the County State Aid Highway (CSAH) system. Under Ramsey County
jurisdiction the roadway will be known as County Road G (CSAH 96). .
MnDOT will con tinue to provide routine maintenance (snow and ice control, culvert/ditch
cleaning, traffic signs/device repair, rninor bituminous or gravel patching, etc.) _.
County Road G through April 30, 1995. MnDOT is in the process of writing individu
signal and lighting agreements for facilities affected by the turnback. Ramse/ County
has assumed responsibility for all permits. .
This is a high priori ty roadway on the Ramsey County system and improvements to the
existing facility are eligible for CSAH turn back funds. Building upon previous work by
MnDOT, County Road G east of Whi te Bear Parkway will be reconstructed. beginning this .
summer. Ramsey County will also be moving qui ckly to facilitate a full evalu8tion of
transportation issues and needs for Coun ty Road G wes t of \lhite Bear Parkway. A task
force made up of representatives of Ramsey County, the Minnesota Departmen t of
Transportation, the Twin City Army and Ammunition Plant, the Town of \ihite Bear, and the .
Cities of New Brigh ton, Arden Hi lls, Shoreviev, Vadnais Heights, North Oaks and I,hi te

FROM j(r-f Terrance R. Post, City Accountant
I SUBJECT: Review of LMCIT Property/Casualty and Excess Liability Costs
I With Council being asked to approve the 1995 liability coverage payment to the League
of Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust (LMCIT) in the amount of $64,483.00, at the 2/13/95
I Council meeting, I thought it would be beneficial to review the recent cost history for
this budget expendirure element.
I 1. Cost Allocation
Beginning in 1992, liability insurance costs have been divided equally between
the General Fund (#101); the Water utility (#602); and the Sanitary Sewer utility
.e (#602). Dividends have also been distributed on the same basis that costs were
allocated.
I 2. Gross CostlDividend Historv (without respect to allocations between the
three funds noted above)
Percent Chg.
I Year Total Premium from previous vr. Dividend Net Cost
1992 $69,354 8.6% $(24,646) $44,708
I 1993 63,639 (8.2%) (21,339) 42,300
1994 61,545 (3.3%) (25,947) 35,598
1995 64,483 4.8% * *
I *Not yet determined
I 3. 1995 Bud~et vs. Actual
Property/Casually and Excess Liability costs (AlC #3610 and iVC #3615) are
I budgeted at $65.030 in 1995, With gross cos1 actual at $6{483. it appears that a
5547 or .8% positive variance has occurred.
I As in prior years, no LMCIT dividend revenue was budgeted in 1995 because of
the uncertainty of this revenue source. Dividends are available as a result of
I- positive group claims experience and not able to be estimated eighteen months in
advance.

MEMORANDUM ~
I DATE: February 10, 1995 ~
. TO: Mayor and City Council (\~
Brian Fritsinger, City Administrat~
I FROM:
SUBJECT: Arden Hills Gateway Business District
I The purpose of this memorandum is to set forth the staff recommendations concerning the latest
I expression of the terms and conditions under which Everest Development has stated that it is
willing to proceed to develop the proposed business park project. The following addresses, in
the order set forth in Everest's January 30, 1995 letter, the points raised in the letter:
I 1. The first item in the January 30th letter is merely a statement of the build-out assumptions
used by Everest in its proposal. Neither staff nor Everest believe that this schedule will
I be the schedule on which the buildings will actually be built.
2. Staff supports 1he use of tax-exempt bonds to fund the public improvements if the bonds
.- can be sold tax-exempt, and still allow the City to obtain sufficient security to ensure that
the debt service on the bonds will be generated. Staff discussions to date with bond
attorneys indicate that bonds guaranteed by Everest may have to be sold as taxable bonds.
I However, we are still exploring ways in which the bonds might be structured to allow
them to be tax exempt. Related to this item, staff has recently become aware that,
depending on the final site configuration of Everest's development, it may be necessary to
I relocate a main sewer line running through the property. If necessary, the cost of such a
relocation could be between $750,000 and $1,000,000. Any agreement be1ween the City
I and Everest needs to anticipate this possibility.
, Staff supports the concept expressed in item 3 that Everest will be responsible for
~.
I assembling the site but that the City will use its powers of eminent domain if necessary.
This assumes that we can reach agreement on a process by which the City, in its
condemnation of parcels, will not be financially at risk. Also, Everest expressed its
I desire to be able to stop a condemnation if the cost of the land is determined to be
excessive. Given that desire, a number of difficult timing issues arise that must be
handled in a development agreement.
I 4. Item 4 discussed the proposed allocation of tax increment. As the Council is aware, one
of staffs main concerns wilh the proposal is the absence of any cap on the amount of tax
I increment that may be recovered by Everest. Everest's desire is to be able to hit a "home
run" if it is more successful in developing the project than anticipated. Our response to
I- that is that it should be possible to define what is meant by a "home run". That definition
I
.
should relate to a lowering of Everes1's land cost per square foot to a specified level. ..
Another concept that has arisen in connection with the allocation of tax increment is
Everest's slatement that if the assistance is capped then the City should be willing to share .
in the risk of a slower project development. To take both factors into account, Staff
believes that the City should consider the following schedule of application of tax
increment from Everest's development. .
(a) First, tax increment is applied as necessary to pay debt service on the
public improvement bonds. Given the discussion in item 2 above about .
the sewer line and the possibility of other unknown costs, tax increment
from the first two buildings may not be enough and the pledge should be .
all tax increment necessary to pay debt service.
(b) Second, 2 1\2% of the tax increment is applied to the City's administrative .
costs.
(c) Third, tax increment is allocated to the developer's documented qualifying .
redevelopment costs to the point that the land cost per square foot reaches
$1.60. This is the cost that Everest assumed would be reached if the
development is constructed over the assumed 8 year period. I
(d) Fourth, tax increment would be split equally between the City and Everest. -.
The City could use its share to reimburse itself for its costs related to the
acquisition of the Kern Milling property (other than $1.25 per square foot
which should be paid by Everest at the time that the City deeds the
property to Everest) and any olher costs the City may incur. Everest's .
share would be used to further reimburse it for qualified development
costs.
5. Staff proposes that in light of item 4 above there be no incentives or withholding of tax .
increment relative to the construction of the signature office building. However, the 12 .
acre site should be reserved for this use and no other use will be permitted without the
City's approval.
6. Staff is still exploring ways of funding the Highway 96 road improvements but believe .
that the funding should be identified in the agreement with Everest.
. .
7. Staff opposes the granting of any exclusivity rights that would hamper the City's ability to
undertake development in the future. This is particularly true given the expected length
of the Everest project.' Statfbelieves that the proposal outlined in item 4 should provide .
Everest with sufficient assurance that the City will not assist other competing projects in
a way that would impair the City's ability to recover its investment in the development.
