set, and Attachment B is the related Engineers Estimate.
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION – JANUARY 13, 2025 2
Director of Public Works/City Engineer Swearingen said after staff received direction for the
chain link barrier along the onramp for Highway 51, he engaged with MNDOT and they are
receptive to the idea of putting a fence there. They would like to bring it back to their team to
discuss timing, location, cost share and long-term maintenance. MNDOT has a repaving project
scheduled in 2026. They are looking into including that fence with that construction project. More
discussions will be forthcoming so that was removed from the scope of work. The cost estimate
for the fencing along the west side of the property line of the upper part of the project is under
review. It wasn’t in the initial scope of work or budget. Staff decided to remove that from the
estimated cost. Staff will budget for that accordingly in the future or possibly it could be tied in
with the fence improvement.
Director of Public Works/City Engineer Swearingen presented the Arden Oaks Park bid
alternate. The ADA trail improvement would extend from Arden Oaks Court on the south with a
pathway that connects to both play structures. It includes an ADA restroom stall. The proposed
location for the ADA stall seems like the best fit with the screening around it. The issue is there is
no access. There will need to be a maintenance route to get there. The truck would need to access
the stall weekly for cleaning. We want to avoid rutting through the grass and it needs to be ADA
access to the stall. Staff decided to include this as a bid alternate to determine what that will cost.
Staff can then either budget for that or move forward with it this year. That decision can be made
after Council sees the bids. The bid alternate is not included in the total estimated project cost.
Councilmember Weber said he noticed the silt fence isn’t included in the estimate. He wondered
if other erosion control items are missing.
Director of Public Works/City Engineer Swearingen said the silt fence and rock entrance are
considered incidental items. It is not a specific bid item. It was discussed at the previous week’s
meeting. It’s drawn on the plans but it is not called out as a specific bid item.
Councilmember Holden said we are $64,000 over budget. Which part is causing the overage?
Director of Public Works/City Engineer Swearingen said notable increases are due to
Council’s decision to approve the better play structure at Arden Oaks which was an additional
$22,000. During design it was discovered the swing set container at Arden Oaks needed to be
expanded and modified, for clear zone issues. The container at Freeway Park needed to be
modified for the same reasons.
Councilmember Holden asked if it was $10,000 for the containers.
Director of Public Works/City Engineer Swearingen confirmed that was close. He said Arden
Oaks is at $40,000 and $44,000 for Freeway Park. It is split relatively evenly between the two
parks.
Director of Public Works/City Engineer Swearingen said Public Works is going to review if
we are able to do the removals of the playground. Staff reached out to an outfit that recycles play
structures and they said they are not interested in these two. Public Works will look at what
equipment it would take to remove that. Per the estimate that could generate a $10,000 cost
savings.
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION – JANUARY 13, 2025 3
Councilmember Monson asked if the PSA-Public Engagement and Project Scope costs have
already been incurred, with no additional expected.
Director of Public Works/City Engineer Swearingen confirmed.
Mayor Grant asked about the wood fiber item of $9,200. He asked how much of that was labor
and how much is wood fiber.
Director of Public Works/City Engineer Swearingen didn’t know the breakdown.
Mayor Grant is wondering is ICWC could put it in, if we got them the engineered wood fiber.
Director of Public Works/City Engineer Swearingen will look into that.
Mayor Grant said it may be more coordination than is justifiable vs. cost savings. His guess is
most of that amount is labor.
Director of Public Works/City Engineer Swearingen said we do utilize ICWC or routine
maintenance of other play structures.
Mayor Grant asked if engineered wood fiber is mulch.
Director of Public Works/City Engineer Swearingen confirmed. He said it is a term parks
people use.
Councilmember Monson asked what Director of Public Works/City Engineer Swearingen’s
confidence level is surrounding the Engineer’s estimate. She said the last time Council was
surprised by the bids.
Director of Public Works/City Engineer Swearingen said he has high confidence in this team.
They have been good to work with. The previous consultant didn’t have a specified Parks Team.
This estimate comes from the Parks Team within Bolton and Menk.
Councilmember Monson asked what criteria they are using other than historical costs, structure
equipment and inflationary dollars.
Director of Public Works/City Engineer Swearingen said they compile their previous years’
projects and take that data into account when preparing these estimates. They did a number of
these projects and are planning several new ones for 2025.
Councilmember Weber asked if there have been any discussions about crowd sourcing labor like
Valentine Hills did. He said that was well attended.
Director of Public Works/City Engineer Swearingen didn’t know if that is an option with this
vendor but it is something he can explore. It may be too late in the process, but he will ask.
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION – JANUARY 13, 2025 4
Mayor Grant said if ICWC will do the wood chips, that would be some outsourcing. We would
have to pay for them but it’s a substantially reduced rate. This is a complex project.
Councilmember Weber said during the Valentine Hills construction the foundation bowls were
already done and it was laser-level graded. Everyone carried all the equipment to location as
specified. They put it all up and the concrete truck showed up and the volunteers pushed the
concrete around. He imagines it saved the school district at least $10,000 in labor.
Mayor Grant asked how much of the estimate is labor.
Director of Public Works/City Engineer Swearingen said it is difficult to answer that question.
If he had to guess it was somewhere in the 25-50% range. Probably closer to the 25%.
Councilmember Holden asked about the fence at Freeway Park. She said MNDOT already did
that ramp. She asked for clarification that MNDOT would be open to completing a fence for us in
that location just because they are doing 51, by the ramp.
Director of Public Works/City Engineer Swearingen looked at the project. Their project limits
extend beyond the onramp. He’s not positive what is all included for the improvements they have
planned there, but it is within their project limits.
Councilmember Holden asked about the property line complications on the west side. She
thought we are 12 feet from where the fence will go.
Director of Public Works/City Engineer Swearingen thought it was 15 feet.
Councilmember Holden said we should try to reclaim our City park.
Director of Public Works/City Engineer Swearingen said that can be a different discussion at
another time.
Councilmember Holden asked if we would leave that fence in place.
Director of Public Works/City Engineer Swearingen said for budget reasons staff is
recommending removing the fence replacement from the project.
Councilmember Holden said we are going to put asphalt in at the top of Freeway Park.
Director of Public Works/City Engineer Swearingen said not with this project. He said some
bituminous was extended down with the trail project. There is a section of asphalt. But there is
still class 5 where the parking lot is.
Councilmember Rousseau thought the crowd sourcing idea was interesting. She asked if
Director of Public Works/City Engineer Swearingen could reach out to the school district and
ask what they think the cost savings was.
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION – JANUARY 13, 2025 5
Director of Public Works/City Engineer Swearingen he can do that. He would prefer to keep
this project on schedule, as proposed. We have side contracts with that vendor so it may be too
late to incorporate that in this project, but it could be considered for future improvement projects.
He will look into it.
Councilmember Monson asked if the Council has an appetite to open sponsorship from
businesses within our parks. Businesses and Employers may want to provide funding for parks.
She knows other cities do it. She understands there are pros and cons but it could bring in extra
money while highlighting Arden Hills businesses.
Councilmember Holden said she always thought it was a good idea but the City Attorney said
we aren’t allowed to go out and beg for money. If a business gives $20,000 for the parks then
brings something forward, they will expect something in return.
Mayor Grant said that was before Boston Scientific built the Cummings Park shelter.
Councilmember Rousseau said in 2017 the PTRC would send donation letters to rotating
businesses every three months. Her thought is what if a tobacco store wants to sponsor. How
would you make those decisions fairly. We wouldn’t want a cannabis leaf on the park.
Councilmember Monson thinks when looking at saving on labor, if Council is open, maybe Staff
can gather information on the pros and cons. Could we limit who can ask for sponsorship.
Mayor Grant said Council wants to bring it on budget but just don’t know how to do that yet.
Councilmember Monson said we also have to wait for the bids to come back. She asked that
when the bids are received, she hopes staff will be prepared to say what options could be cut if the
bids are all over the estimate and budget.
Mayor Grant said it would be good to have some bid alternates.
Councilmember Rousseau said if the amounts need to be reduced, after bids are received, she
wouldn’t be opposed to pushing the picnic tables and benches until the following year.
Councilmember Holden asked if Director of Public Works/City Engineer Swearingen said
that he is looking to see if Public Works staff can do the equipment removal on this project.
Director of Public Works/City Engineer Swearingen confirmed.
Councilmember Holden asked if that eliminates the option to use ICWC.
Director of Public Works/City Engineer Swearingen said we could use both.
Councilmember Holden said that is cheap. She doesn’t think there is a project list for that group
yet.
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION – JANUARY 13, 2025 6
Director of Public Works/City Engineer Swearingen confirmed. He just reached out to them a
couple weeks ago to renew the contract.
Mayor Grant agreed that group could provide labor for more than just wood chips.
Councilmember Holden said she thought it was $800 a day for ten people.
Director of Public Works/City Engineer Swearingen confirmed they are reasonable.
Councilmember Holden said we should use them wherever we can. This would be a good
opportunity because they have done these types of projects in other communities.
Councilmember Monson thinks the ICWC conversation is interesting because using them
anywhere will bring value to the City. She will rely on Director of Public Works/City Engineer
Swearingen’s prioritization to determine which projects will bring the highest value and savings.
Director of Public Works/City Engineer Swearingen said the 2025 Maintenance Plan is being
developed right now. He is working to figure out those priorities right now.
Mayor Grant asked if Staff is seeking Council direction to put this out for bid.
Director of Public Works/City Engineer Swearingen confirmed. He said this item will be on
consent for Council to accept the plans and specs, as proposed, and then go out for bid. The bid
opening would be in early March.
Councilmember Holden asked if Staff will determine if installation can be completed by
someone other than the vendor.
Director of Public Works/City Engineer Swearingen confirmed. The answer to that question
will be provided in the memo, when it comes back.
B. Parks and Recreation Manager Position Discussion
Director of Public Works/City Engineer Swearingen said Council has discussed the proposed
Parks and Recreation Manager position previously. Council directed Staff to implement the
position. He wants Council to take another look at it with the budget amount and give
confirmation to proceed.
Councilmember Holden asked why Rain Gardens are included. She thought that was strictly a
Public Works and Stormwater item.
Director of Public Works/City Engineer Swearingen thinks of it as a crossover item. It can
rigidly be looked at as a water quality element. But it does have a garden aspect to it, which would
be more the natural resources. He thinks this position will be best in managing that piece of it.
Councilmember Holden asked if this position would notify Public Works when a rain garden
isn’t working and needs maintenance.
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION – JANUARY 13, 2025 7
Director of Public Works/City Engineer Swearingen confirmed. Part of the program would be
completing a condition inspection of all the rain gardens.
Councilmember Holden asked what the difference is between this and a Public Works Parks
Lead. She isn’t sure why we need this position and the Public Works Parks Lead being
implemented.
Director of Public Works/City Engineer Swearingen said the Parks Lead position will be
taking care of the day-to-day maintenance and operations. The rain gardens are more like a
program.
Councilmember Holden said we’re talking about natural resource management, forestry and
other items listed. She’s trying to determine what the Public Works Parks Lead would do
differently or how it would complement this position.
Director of Public Works/City Engineer Swearingen said there would be coordination between
the positions but the Parks and Recreation Manager will manage the program where the Parks
Lead will lead the day to day maintenance operations, much like a site foreman.
Interim City Administrator Jagoe said it would be scheduling of those work items and making
sure the daily tasks are scheduled.
Director of Public Works/City Engineer Swearingen said this would be the day to day
operations.
Councilmember Rousseau asked which position would have trails.
Director of Public Works/City Engineer Swearingen trails would still be underneath him but
the Parks and Recreation Manager would be completing condition assessments and suggest what
the maintenance frequency for the trails should be.
Councilmember Rousseau asked if that will be noted on the job description.
Director of Public Works/City Engineer Swearingen confirmed. He said the bigger picture
Capital Improvements would still be under him.
Councilmember Rousseau asked if the job description will outline the responsibilities with the
Park Master Plan. She asked if this person will be implementing or prioritizing that Master Plan.
Director of Public Works/City Engineer Swearingen said this person would follow the vision
of the Parks Master Plan future improvements.
Councilmember Rousseau asked if this position will take ownership of the Master Plan.
Director of Public Works/City Engineer Swearingen said it would be their guide for doing
their job for the City.
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION – JANUARY 13, 2025 8
Councilmember Rousseau said she sees forestry and rain gardens in the description. She
wondered about a natural resources inventory. She said the statutes with the next Comprehensive
Plan specify that we need to have an inventory of the City’s natural resources. She asked if this
position would be involved with that.
Director of Public Works/City Engineer Swearingen thinks that would fit in with this position.
He said that is not something we have today. So, a strategy for that could be developed by this
position.
Mayor Grant asked if this person will have communication with the public where they might
write articles about what’s going on with Parks and Rec.
Director of Public Works/City Engineer Swearingen confirmed. This position would be
working closely with the Communication Coordinator to develop content to and do promotions.
Mayor Grant would like that to be included in the job description so the person being hired
understands that expectation. This isn’t just a Park and Recreation Manager, they will be
communicating with the public about what’s happening in their parks.
Councilmember Monson asked if this position would be the lead on projects like the one earlier
tonight regarding the Park Improvements. This position would manage that.
Director of Public Works/City Engineer Swearingen confirmed.
Councilmember Holden asked about the Master Parks Plan. She heard that would be a play book
or guide for this position. She said before it becomes a play book it needs to be created. Will this
position be involved in creating the Master Plan.
Director of Public Works/City Engineer Swearingen said ideally, we will get a candidate that
is familiar with this process and can hit the ground running.
Councilmember Monson asked if this person would manage the process.
Director of Public Works/City Engineer Swearingen confirmed.
Interim City Administrator Jagoe said this won’t be an entry level recreation position. The right
candidate will have some over arching knowledge. They will need to get up to speed with some of
the facilities and equipment, they may have already been through this process or they will be
someone who has coordination management experience. They will be able to work with the
consultant to develop the plan.
Councilmember Monson said she thinks it will be important to find the right candidate so Staff
can highlight to the Council how this person will meet these requirements.
Councilmember Holden said this position will only have one person reporting to them and there
are just a couple of programs. She worries that this will become a steppingstone, and the person
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION – JANUARY 13, 2025 9
will only be here short-term. They’re going to want to move on to a larger management position in
a bigger city.
Mayor Grant said that is the nature of Arden Hills.
Councilmember Holden agrees but she thinks it’s something to be conscious of when hiring
because it doesn’t do the City any good to hire someone who will only be here a short time.
Mayor Grant said this is not an entry level position. He thinks this may be a hard position to fill.
He will expect the selected candidate will not be entry level.
Councilmember Monson said once someone is hired, you can’t stop them from leaving. The goal
should always be to get what you can from that person while you have them. There are a lot of
reasons someone leaves a job.
Mayor Grant said when we hire someone, we want them to succeed but we also want to develop
them. They may choose to leave with their background, credentials and experience. We hope they
have reasons to stay. He is proud of the Staff. A number of them have been internal hires and
promotions from within. We want people to succeed.
Councilmember Holden said she understands that anyone can leave at any time. She said we’ve
always known who’s going to be a short termer. It’s important that we feel a commitment during
the interview process.
Mayor Grant asked if Council in agreement regarding this position.
Interim City Administrator Jagoe said this item will be brought back to the February 10th
meeting for approval to recruit for this position. At this time DDA is reviewing the proposed job
description. Staff will get everything finalized and bring it back in February.
Director of Public Works/City Engineer Swearingen asked if he could start the process sooner
or if he has to wait until February 10th.
Interim City Administrator Jagoe said Council must give authorization to recruit.
Mayor Grant agrees. He would suggest adding it to tonight’s City Council agenda, but we’ve
always agreed that when we discuss something at a Work Session it won’t be on the next agenda.
Councilmember Monson wondered if it would be okay to put it on tonight, assuming there is a
5-0 consensus. Timeline is a consideration since there is no second meeting in January. She
understands this goes against how things are usually done, but she is okay with it as long as no
one else has an issue with it.
Councilmember Holden is against it because she wants to see the final job description. Council
just created a list of things they want included and she wants to make sure they are in there.
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION – JANUARY 13, 2025 10
Mayor Grant agrees there was a lot of question surrounding what this person will do. It would be
nice to have the job description.
Councilmember Monson asked if the Council would be willing to give approval contingent on
Council receiving the final job description and giving a soft approval.
Councilmember Holden said Council is the hiring body. There has to be a formal action to be the
hiring body. She doesn’t know how to do a soft approval.
Councilmember Monson said maybe it can’t be done. She is just trying to help staff.
Mayor Grant asked how long it would take to finalize the job description.
Interim City Administrator Jagoe said they have the job description drafted and completed. It is
at DDA as part of their contract they review any new job descriptions and make sure that the
proposed grade being recommended is consistent with the market analysis. That is the last step.
She thinks the comments received by Council regarding communication, the Parks Master Plan
and this position being the liaison to the public for trails. Her recollection is that all of those items
are in the job description that’s been drafted. She doesn’t anticipate any changes to the description
based on Council comment. If there is a way to distribute that job description for council to see.
The logistics of a special meeting would have to be worked out.
Councilmember Monson asked if Staff is requesting a special meeting to fast track this.
Director of Public Works/City Engineer Swearingen said if we wait until the February 10th
meeting, he doesn’t see how this position can be hired for the beginning of the second quarter.
Mayor Grant thought the timeline was Q2-Q4.
Director of Public Works/City Engineer Swearingen said this position is budgeted for those
three quarters.
Councilmember Rousseau would be fine with coming in for a short 10-minute special meeting
to approve this, at the end of the month.
Councilmember Monson is fine with that, too. It should be called as soon as we get the job
description back vs. waiting until the end of the month.
Mayor Grant is okay with a soft approval. He doesn’t think there will be any major changes. Any
candidate that is interviewing that is serious about the position could be handed an updated job
description.
Councilmember Monson asked if we could do that legally. It’s being reviewed by DDA. She
said job descriptions are very specific about how they are paid.
Interim City Administrator Jagoe said she has not received comments back from DDA yet, so
it’s still under review.
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION – JANUARY 13, 2025 11
Councilmember Monson thinks there could be a problem if we change the job description mid-
process.
Mayor Grant thinks this should have come to Council first for initial approval and then it should
have been sent to DDA. What if Council wants a change after DDA reviews it. Will they have to
look at it again? He asked how soon recruitment would begin upon approval of the job
description.
Director of Public Works/City Engineer Swearingen said the next day.
Councilmember Weber asked if there is a timetable for when DDA will complete the review.
Interim City Administrator Jagoe does not know. She can follow up with an email to Council
when the final job description is drafted. The last piece is DDA’s review to confirm the language,
formatting and the Class.
Discussion ensued regarding when a Special City Council Meeting could be held.
Councilmember Holden said if the final draft is approved on February 10th, it can be posted for a
month and still have someone starting April 1st.
Interim City Administrator Jagoe said logistically, it might be tough to post the job, conduct
interviews and get the selected candidate on the agenda for approval at the March 10th meeting.
Councilmember Holden thought that would be a good time to schedule a Special Meeting.
Mayor Grant thought unnecessary urgency was being placed on this.
Councilmember Weber asked if other cities job descriptions were used as examples while
drafting this job description.
Director of Public Works/City Engineer Swearingen said he revised the Arden Hills’ job
description from a similar position in the past and built it up by using some other cities’
descriptions.
Councilmember Holden asked if this person will need a tree certification.
Director of Public Works/City Engineer Swearingen said it’s not required but it is preferred.
There are Certified Tree Inspectors in Public Works.
Councilmember Holden thinks if this person is doing the parks management, it should be
mandatory.
Mayor Grant directed Staff to send the job description that we have to Council. Gather Council
comments. Share those comments with DDA as soon as possible. That way DDA will be
reviewing exactly what Council wants to be on there. If that takes us to the February 10th meeting,
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION – JANUARY 13, 2025 12
fine. If the full review is completed towards the end of January, we can discuss a Special Meeting
at that time.
Councilmember Weber said since Council cannot ‘reply all’ to emails, he wondered if Staff will
compile Council comments and send those comments to the entire Council before DDA.
Mayor Grant said you would send your comments to Director of Public Works/City Engineer
Swearingen and Interim City Administrator Jagoe. They would have to compile them, make
changes and send it back to Council.
Councilmember Weber understands that. His point is he would like to see the comments the
other Councilmembers have prior to it being sent to DDA.
Councilmember Monson said she is not interested in writing job descriptions as a policy maker.
She doesn’t remember having this conversation surrounding any other role. She thinks this feels a
little like micro-managing. Knowing what was shared at the meeting tonight will be incorporated
into the job description is sufficient for her.
Councilmember Holden doesn’t believe they are writing the job description. She said that since
this person is going to implement policies, we want to make sure that it is in the position
description so that they will be able to do that.
Councilmember Monson said that Council has succinctly directed Staff what should be in there.
Councilmember Rousseau thought this was a good conversation, so Council knows what the
expectations are and how Director of Public Works/City Engineer Swearingen thinks this fits
in with the overall planning with the City’s resources.
Mayor Grant said he has read a number of job descriptions during his time on the Personnel
Committee. Our job it not to write the descriptions but to make sure we are hiring the right talent.
Council does approve the job descriptions.
Assistant to the City Administrator/City Clerk Hanson said we have presented job
descriptions to the Personnel Committee. With their blessing, the rest of the Council generally
defers to their approval.
Interim City Administrator Jagoe said usually Staff will present the job description with the
request for authorization to recruit. The full Council would see the job description to give that
authorization. The back and forth with writing a job description has historically been facilitated
through the Personnel Committee. She suggested we could use that same process in this case.
Mayor Grant said we could do that, unless the entire council wants to review it.
Councilmember Monson is fine with that.
Councilmember Holden said she would like to look at it.
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION – JANUARY 13, 2025 13
Director of Public Works/City Engineer Swearingen said he will send it to Council.
Councilmember Monson said we’ll get it when we have to authorize recruitment.
Mayor Grant wants to make sure we incorporate into the job description, what this Council
wants that position to do. So the applicant knows what they’re being hired for and what’s
expected. He asked Staff to incorporate the changes discussed, send it to Council and then get it to
DDA for final review.
C. Private Property I/I Equity Discussion
Director of Public Works/City Engineer Swearingen said this discussion surrounds private
property owners to utilize funds through Met Council to take care of inflow and infiltration issues
with their sewer services. Last year was the pilot year for Met Council and Arden Hills
participated in it. We received $45,000. This year we requested a larger amount but were awarded
less. We received $41,000 for this year. He explained that part of their process is to ask Cities to
implement an equity component. Last year, only 5 of the 20 cities implemented one. He has
provided the equity components those cities implemented, as examples. He added information
about the staff-time used. There was lot of back-and-forth communication with properties. There
were 20-30 applicants. Only ten were approved. He is bringing this forward to discuss if Council
would like to implement an equity component.
Councilmember Rousseau asked about the ten that were approved. She said Roseville have 80%
up to $8,000 or 50% up to $5,000. She asked what the metrics were in Arden Hills.
Director of Public Works/City Engineer Swearingen said we didn’t have an equity component.
It was a 50% match, up to $5,000. Most, if not all of them met that maximum amount.
Councilmember Rousseau asked if we knew the value of the houses?
Director of Public Works/City Engineer Swearingen said that information was not tracked or
requested.
Councilmember Holden said the neighborhoods where the approvals were, were older homes in
older neighborhoods. She said the equity piece doesn’t add anything. Making sure the INI isn’t
leaking into the ground is just as important as not being able to give the money away. We had 20-
30 applications with ten being approved and still used up all the money. Barely, but we used it.
There was one person hanging on. They put the application in and then they don’t get you the
information that is requested. It’s a game that can be played by people. For us, it’s best to get the
INI done. If you can see on a TV screen that the pipe is broken, we want it fixed. There are a lot of
people that can’t afford the minimum cost of over $10,000. She doesn’t think it’s right that we
have income tax forms. We’re asking for trouble for having private personal information.
Director of Public Works/City Engineer Swearingen said the consequence of having an equity
component is that allows a single property to consume a large portion of that allotment. We don’t
have a lot, relative to other cities.
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION – JANUARY 13, 2025 14
Mayor Grant asked if we could base it on house value instead of AMI.
Councilmember Monson said that is what Roseville did.
Mayor Grant said they say 80% AMI affordable home ownership cost. If you own your home, do
they take the value times what the current mortgage would be and figure out how much you have
to make? He would say base it on the median home value in Arden Hills. Anyone below gets
80%, up to $10,000 or 60%, up to $8,000.
Councilmember Rousseau said that sounds good initially. She would like to know if we are
pushing some applicants out. She wonders if there is an area where there is a concentration where
maybe 30% of average households. She thinks that would be beneficial rather than having the
hard line be the median household value.
Mayor Grant said people who are retired can control their income more so than someone who’s
working. That’s the reason for him suggesting median home value.
Councilmember Holden doesn’t think there should be an equity component. There’s only
$40,000. We were able to give ten residents $5,000 each, or whatever 50% was. Therefore, they
were responsible for coming up with the other half. This program can stay the same this year. We
got less funds. But you can have people getting 50% of the money and still help. She said just
because someone has lived in a house for 40 years doesn’t mean their income is low.
Councilmember Weber asked how much we applied for last year, that we ended up getting
$45,000.
Director of Public Works/City Engineer Swearingen it was between $70,000-$80,000.
Councilmember Weber asked if the equity component had an impact on the grant amount.
Director of Public Works/City Engineer Swearingen said no. Some cities appear to be
exaggerating their numbers to get a bigger slice. He said Crystal requested $750,000. Minneapolis
and St. Paul were at $1.5 million each. So they get a larger chunk. We tried to take a more honest
approach.
Councilmember Weber asked if he felt like an equity component would have made a difference
in the amount received? Not necessarily to the application process, but to either going through
applications quicker or narrowing it down. It sounds like ten people qualified. Ten people got it.
Director of Public Works/City Engineer Swearingen said it is first come, first served. If we
have applicants who meet the equity component earlier in the process, we would run out of money
sooner. There is plenty of interest. We just don’t have a lot of funds to begin with. It’s lower than
what we requested.
Councilmember Weber said he would not support an equity component. If it won’t make a
difference on the amount we are receiving.
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION – JANUARY 13, 2025 15
Mayor Grant said then we wouldn’t have income information at City Hall.
Councilmember Monson would support not having an equity component. If the program grows,
she would like to revisit it. The challenge is if you get someone in the lower AMI paperwork
becomes even more challenging. The support to get someone across the line would be significant
from staff. That would be a whole different strategy from now, which is just deploy the money
and fix this environmental issue. She can get behind not having an equity component but will
want to revisit it if we grow.
Councilmember Holden agrees. She said next year when we reapply, we look at it again.
Mayor Grant said we will award $41,000. He asked if anything on the calculations should
change. We’re at 50% of the first $5,000.
Interim City Administrator Jagoe confirmed up to $5,000.
Mayor Grant asked if Staff feels like we will use the $41,000 at that level.
Director of Public Works/City Engineer Swearingen confirmed.
Councilmember Weber asked how quickly it would be used.
Director of Public Works/City Engineer Swearingen thought around mid-third quarter. There
are already one or two queued up waiting on a decision.
Mayor Grant said it is important that we are able to award utilized the entire $41,000 we were
awarded.
Director of Public Works/City Engineer Swearingen is certain that it will get used.
Mayor Grant said we are an old enough community that we should be able to use that money.
Councilmember Holden thinks we need a policy. People have been hanging on and not
submitting because it was first come, first served. We didn’t get the information we needed. Then
the next person is on hold because the person in front of them didn’t get the necessary
information. We need to have a timeline for Staff that if someone applies, they have a certain
amount of time to get the work done. There needs to be a policy that states if someone doesn’t
utilize the money in a certain amount of time, it goes to the next person. She said someone can
hang on to $5,000 for the whole year. There was still money left in November.
Councilmember Weber supports a timeline. He also said, if we are looking at running out of
available funds in Q3, then it is better to take a spread-the-wealth disbursement approach. Maybe
50%, up to $4,000. Maybe a little less. Obviously using it all, is the most important thing, he
would prefer to see it stretch to help as many people as possible.
Mayor Grant agreed. From a practical standpoint, he wondered could this type of work be done
in Q4?
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION – JANUARY 13, 2025 16
Director of Public Works/City Engineer Swearingen said it would need to be done before
freezing temps. Mid-November would probably be the latest.
Mayor Grant said the end of Q3 is not a bad proxy to make sure the money is used.
Councilmember Holden said there was one $5,000 allotment left in October. That person didn’t
come through. As soon as they were told to get their information in or we would have to move on.
It took a while for someone else to claim that. She worries that if the amounts were less than
$5,000, people may not be able to cover the entire difference and will choose not to fix it.
Mayor Grant summarized that the claim amount will remain the same and we will revisit the
equity component next year.
D. Newsletter Policy Draft
Interim City Administrator Jagoe said this is a follow up discussion from the December
meeting regarding removing the Communication Liaison from appointments for the 2025 calendar
year. Based on that direction, and through discussion with the Senior Communications
Coordinator it was determined that the newsletter policy and procedures needed to be updated.
References to the Liaison has been removed. The point of contact for topic submissions is the City
Administrator. There were no other changes to the policy other than what Council had seen in
2023 calendar year. During this process, Staff realized the 2023 changes had not been formally
approved. She will bring this back for approval at a future meeting.
Council supported the changes.
E. Agenda Planning
Interim City Administrator Jagoe provided the list of topics that Staff has earmarked for the
next upcoming work session. Attachment A is the council rankings. In the memo is the 2024
previous work session ranking schedule. She opened the discussion, noting there were some items
that are earmarked for the February 10 work session that are time sensitive. She also sought
direction on the rankings for scheduling future work sessions and building these topics in.
Mayor Grant said February 10 is somewhat full but asked Council to discuss which items should
be discussed earlier. He will work with Staff to get them slated in.
Councilmember Rousseau would like to use the January time period when there is no Council
meeting to hold a work session. She would like to discuss some of these that have been on the list
a while like short term rentals, licensing program, code of conduct, the encroachment discussion.
She thinks the 75th anniversary discussion will take a little time to get some buy in.
Councilmember Weber agrees the list is big. He would support a January work session.
Councilmember Holden said that the meetings were cancelled so she won’t be able to attend any
meetings. We said we were going to have the one meeting a month.
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION – JANUARY 13, 2025 17
Councilmember Rousseau said she does not want to cancel the second January meeting next
year. She had anticipated that Council would still do something with those dates. She doesn’t
recall saying the second meeting would be cancelled. She thought that was a hangover from
previous years.
Mayor Grant said he doesn’t think it’s a hangover. He met with the nine members of the Mayors
and Administrators meeting and there are other cities that are interested in that and looking to do
such things for their Staff. It was well received by that group.
Councilmember Rousseau asked if those cities had 26 items on their to-do list.
Mayor Grant doesn’t know how many items were on their lists. They saw it as a benefit for Staff.
He said councilmembers drive a mile or two. Staff drives a lot longer, in the dead of night, in the
dead of winter.
Councilmember Holden thought this came from the Personnel Committee because of
recruitment and retention. That was why we cancelled the meetings. It came from the Personnel
Committee.
Mayor Grant confirmed. It was a draw to recruit staff.
Councilmember Monson doesn’t remember that discussion.
Mayor Grant said it was prior to her tenure.
Councilmember Holden said former Councilmember Fabel was a part of it.
Mayor Grant said he believes former Councilmember Fabel was in favor of the initial discussion
pre-dated him.
Councilmember Monson said she doesn’t know when we’ll have the meeting but she supports
prioritizing the 75th Anniversary and the Code of Conduct. She thinks the short term rentals and
rental licensing should be looked at after the code updates. She thought PTRC would look at the
encroachment item.
Councilmember Rousseau said PTRC is not looking at encroachment.
Mayor Grant said encroachment is not PTRC but trail prioritization should be.
Director of Public Works/City Engineer Swearingen said trail prioritization is specific to Lake
Johanna and Old Highway 10.
Councilmember Monson added it was about funding for the two trails.
Councilmember Holden said there was no funding in the budget for the 75th anniversary.
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL WORK SESSION – JANUARY 13, 2025 18
Mayor Grant confirmed.
Councilmember Holden said when she brought it up during budgeting no one was interested.
She is surprised it’s on the list.
Mayor Grant said it would be for the 2026 budget cycle.
Councilmember Holden said the 75th is this year.
Interim City Administrator Jagoe said she believed it was 2026.
Mayor Grant recessed the meeting at 6:45 pm.
F. Rice Creek Commons/TCAAP Discussion
This item was not discussed.

ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL – JANUARY 13, 2025 2
stated the Mayor and herself cost each member of the City $400 due to the lawsuit with Ramsey
County. She reported this was not true. She explained the City spent $200,000 on the lawsuit and
insurance covered everything beyond that.
Councilmember Monson reported Tara Jebens-Singh was now the JDA’s County Commissioner
representative.

10. PUBLIC HEARINGS
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL – JANUARY 13, 2025 4
A. Planning Case 24-018 – Master Planned Unit Development, Final Planned
Unit Development, Conditional Use Permit, Site Plan Review, Final Plat and
Easement Vacation – 1700 Highway 96 W – Trident Development, LLC
Planning Consultant Hofer stated the Applicant has submitted a land use application for a
Master Planned Unit Development (PUD), Final Planned Unit Development, Conditional Use
Permit, Site Plan Review, Final Plat, and Easement Vacation to subdivide and develop an
approximately 41.10 acre property that currently contains a place of worship at 1700 Highway 96
West. North Heights Lutheran Church currently owns the Subject Property and contains a single
structure that acts as a House of Worship. The property currently has split zoning with a majority
of the site zoned R-1 Single Family Residential District and the northwest of the parcel zoned B-1
Limited Business District. The Subject Property is also within the Shoreland Overlay District
based on its proximity to Round Lake. The proposed changes to the site would subdivide the
property into two conforming lots, to facilitate construction of a 162,819 square foot, 119-unit
multiple family dwelling, and construct additional parking for the existing house of worship. The
proposed PUD for the land use and proposed flexibility would be exclusive to the proposed Lot 1,
Block 1.
Planning Consultant Hofer explained the Applicant made an application for Preliminary Plat
and Rezoning on July 17, 2024. The Preliminary Plat and Rezoning (PC 24-015) was reviewed by
the Planning Commission on August 7, 2024, and the City Council on September 9, 2024. A
public hearing was held at both meetings for this application. The City Council approved the
Preliminary Plat at the September meeting but tabled the Rezoning on based on the need to
review the land use application concurrently with the rezoning request. The Preliminary Plat was
approved with the following conditions:
1. The Applicant shall submit to the City a land use application for Final Plat within three (3)
months after the date of approval of the Preliminary Plat
2. The Applicant shall work with the Rice Creek Watershed District to review future
modifications to vacate existing drainage and utility easements as well as proposed newly
dedicated drainage and utility easements prior to the submittal of the Final Plat
application. Modifications and newly dedicated easements shall be to the satisfaction of
RCWD and the City.
Planning Consultant Hofer reported the three-month deadline for the submittal for the final plat
based on the above condition was December 9, 2024. Based on this date, the City extended the
review of the rezoning in PC 24-015 to November 12, 2024. Discussion of the Rezoning will
happen simultaneously with the current request as part of New Business on the agenda. The
Applicant initially made an application for Master Planned Unit Development (PUD), Final
Planned Unit Development, Conditional Use Permit (CUP), and Site Plan Review in October of
2024, but the application was deemed incomplete. The Applicant applied again on November 4,
2024, with the addition of an application for Final Plat and Easement Vacation, and the
application was deemed complete. Due to the meeting schedule of the City, the Applicant has also
submitted a waiver for their rights to a timely review as required by Minnesota State Statute
§15.99, for the Final Plat and Rezoning applications, until January 13, 2025.
Planning Consultant Hofer stated the Subject Property has access from County Highway 96 to
the north and Snelling Avenue North to the east. Properties around the parcel are zoned R-1
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL – JANUARY 13, 2025 5
Single Family Residential District and POS Parks and Open Space District and are used for
residential uses and houses of worship.
Planning Consultant Hofer reviewed the history of the property, the Planned Unit Development,
Conditional Use Permit and Plan Evaluation information in detail with the City Council. He
explained the Planning Commission reviewed this application at the December 4, 2024 meeting.
The Commission discussed the discretion the City has in reviewing the application, the park
dedication fees, traffic controls, the lack of affordable housing in the proposal, the density of the
proposal, landscaping and tree management, access to the site, and internal circulation of traffic.
The Commission voted 5-2 to recommend denial of Planning Case 24-018 with the following
findings:
1. The application is not consistent with the policies within Chapter 6 of the Comprehensive
Plan: Land Use, or within and the goals of Chapter 7 of the Comprehensive Plan: Housing,
that encourage the incorporation of affordable and life-cycle housing into new
development and redevelopment where feasible.
2. The request for additional density, floor area ratio, and building height is not consistent
with Section 1355.04 Subd. 3.B of the City Code in that the proposed development does
not meet the goals for population density and the orderly development of the
neighborhood and the city within the general purpose and intent of this Zoning Code and
the Comprehensive Plan for the City.
Planning Consultant Hofer reported since the December Planning Commission meeting, the
Applicant has submitted a supplemental narrative to address the concerns discussed at the
meeting. The Applicant has stated the goals of the City’s Comprehensive Plans that the feel they
are meeting. The Applicant has also stated that in exchange for the City providing a financial
subsidy they would propose to provide 10 units at 80% or less of the Area Median Income (AMI).
Housing that has controlled prices under this value is considered affordable. He clarified a
mistake in the staff report that stated the proposed rate for these units is estimated to be $336 and
$625 per month and that the rates were to be between $1,864 and $1,950 per month. To
accommodate these affordable units, the Applicant has stated that they would be looking for a
cost savings of at least $1,300,000 for the development from the City. The Applicant has
proposed this be achieved through a cash contribution or a reduction and/or waiver of City fees
and charges. The Applicant did not indicate a time when the affordable units would be
transitioned to market rate.
Planning Consultant Hofer explained the City Council has the authority to waive the public use
and park dedication fees required with the subdivision of the property as described in Section
1130.08. The City does have additional processes and means to provide financial support or
business subsidies to projects that meet specific purposes. These standards are established in the
City of Arden Hills Business Subsidy Criteria and City Public Financing Guidelines, (Public
Financing Guidelines) dated July 27, 2015. This process allows for the City to consider public
financing through tax increment financing, tax abatement, bonds, waiver of City fees (excluding
building permits), and other forms of public financing, provided a development meets the criteria
set within the standards. With the late addition of the affordable units, staff have not been able to
evaluate the proposed project under these standards.
Planning Consultant Hofer stated for the project to move forward with any kind of financial
support that is detailed within Public Financing Guidelines, the Applicant would need to waive
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL – JANUARY 13, 2025 6
their rights to a timely review under Minnesota Statute 15.99. The Applicant has already extended
this deadline to January 13, 2025, and without their consent to extend, the City must act on PC
24-018 and the tabled request for Rezoning PC 24-015. The Applicant also stated that the
flexibility requested for FAR, maximum building height, and density are appropriate based on the
standards that have been exceeded.
Councilmember Holden asked if any bike racks or EV charging stations were included in the
proposal.
Planning Consultant Hofer reported the developer had included 70 bike parking stalls in the
underground parking facility. He noted there were no EV charging stations included in the
proposal.
Councilmember Holden requested further information regarding the trail on the northwest side
of the property.
Planning Consultant Hofer discussed the trail planned along Highway 96.
Councilmember Holden stated she was not happy with the left out. She recommended a right-
in/right-out be considered for the access point. She asked if this could be made a recommendation
for approval.
Interim City Administrator Jagoe explained this recommendation for approval could be made
under Item 11A. She stated it was her understanding the applicant had a pork chop design exiting
the newly created lot for the development, which would mean there is a left turn only onto
Snelling Avenue. In addition, a partial pork chop would be installed at Snelling Avenue to direct
traffic.
Councilmember Holden stated the left turn only onto Snelling Avenue would not stop people
from taking a right-hand turn.
Councilmember Monson requested further information on the drainage impacts across Highway
10.
Planning Consultant Hofer stated he would recommend the City Engineer address this question,
but noted any drainage across property lines would need to be controlled and would be addressed
within the stormwater control plans presented by the applicant.
Public Works Director/City Engineer Swearingen reported the review with the Rice Creek
Watershed District was underway and staff will be coordinating with this organization.
Councilmember Monson questioned if the City would be working with the Army Corp in
wetland impacts.
Planning Consultant Hofer reported the application was not sent to the Army Corp for review
on any impacts.
Councilmember Monson indicated there were wetland impacts.
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL – JANUARY 13, 2025 7
Planning Consultant Hofer stated there were wetlands on site, but he was not aware of any
impacts.
Councilmember Monson inquired how residents of this development would walk down to Royal
Park.
Planning Consultant Hofer reviewed the pedestrian facilities on the south side of the parking lot
that leads to the house of worship. He commented there was no path out to Snelling Avenue.
Public Works Director/City Engineer Swearingen explained a bridge would have to be
installed over the creek on site in order to have a pedestrian connection to the park.
Councilmember Holden stated because this was a PUD, the City could ask for some sort of
pathway, but there is a ravine. She asked if any type of recreational playground would be included
within this development.
Planning Consultant Hofer reported a patio would be included on the west side of the building,
but a play structure was not included.
Mayor Grant indicated the applicant was requesting a variance of three feet to the building
height. He questioned how tall the existing church was.
Planning Consultant Hofer stated he did not know the current height of the church.
Mayor Grant asked what the pitch of the roof was on the church.
Planning Consultant Hofer reported the church had a 6/12 pitch.
Mayor Grant inquired if the senior living development would have a 6/12 roof pitch.
Planning Consultant Hofer stated the applicant has indicated the roof would have a 6/12 pitch.
Councilmember Holden commented she anticipated the North Heights Church was over 45 feet
tall.
Mayor Grant stated his reason for asking was because the applicant was asking for a variance,
but it was next to a building that was taller, it the additional building height may not appear to be
too much. He indicated the PUD was asking for 13.9 units per acre where 12 units per acre was
allowed. He noted the City could allow for additional density through a PUD.
Planning Consultant Hofer reported this was the case.
Mayor Grant questioned how many additional units would be created if the PUD were approved.
Planning Consultant Hofer stated this would be 17 units.
Councilmember Holden inquired if the veneer would be mortared.
Planning Consultant Hofer explained he was uncertain.
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL – JANUARY 13, 2025 8
Mayor Grant opened the public hearing at 8:17 p.m.
Brad Bjorklund, 3530 Wood Court, stated the members of the Planning Commission had no
problems with the physical aspects of the building, but rather had concerns with the lack of
affordable housing. He noted he stated this clearly at the Planning Commission meeting. He
reported the City has a project across the street that has been contentious that was slated to
include 20% affordable housing. He indicated the project that was now before the City now
included 8.4% affordable housing units. He questioned why the developer was requesting a large
amount of funding back. While he believed the City was working with a fine developer, he
recommended the Council support the denial of this project due to the affordability aspect
because this project does not meet the City’s comprehensive plan goals.
Roger Fink, Trident Development, thanked the Council for considering his request. He thanked
staff for the comprehensive staff report. He appreciated staff’s assistance and support on this
project. He commented he did not have a lot of prepared remarks. He reviewed the areas where he
was requesting flexibility within the development and commented on the ability to integrate
affordable housing within this application. He reported City Code spoke to a dedication of land
(20%) or cash in lieu. He stated it has been tricky to determine the land value given this includes
all of the improvements on the entire 40 acres with the house of worship. He noted the
development would be on the 20 acres alone, without the house of worship. He recommended the
park dedication fee be calculated from the 20 acre land value alone. He reported the church has
agreed to sell the 20 acres of land for $2.25 million and this should be the value the park
dedication fee should be calculated from.
Mr. Fink clarified, if it weren’t for the wetlands, he would be at 11 units per acre. He noted the
FAR was being exceeded slightly. He indicated if he were to reduce the building size down to 3.0,
he would have to sacrifice lobby space, common area space, the party room and rooftop patio. He
stated the three extra feet of building height would allow for a nine foot ceiling height within the
units versus an eight foot ceiling height for the three story building. He explained he was prepared
to include affordable units if required by the City. He reported he could offer up to 10 units at
80% AMI. He estimated this project would cost $33,650,000. He explained he has worked to
lower the project costs down to $32,300,000 in order to offer a proper return on investment, while
still including the affordable units. He stated if the City moves forward with the affordable units,
there will be a number of agreements that will need to be included in the development agreement.
With no one coming forward to speak, Mayor Grant closed the public hearing at 8:32 p.m.

their December 4, 2024, meeting. At that time, the Planning Commission recommended denial of
the application for Master Planned Unit Development, Final Planned Unit Development,
Conditional Use Permit, Site Plan Review, Final Plat, and Easement Vacation, by a vote of 5-2.
Councilmember Weber stated having heard this case on the Planning Commission, he had a lot
of his questions and concerns addressed. He noted the Council was now hearing a proposal that
includes affordable housing. He indicated he had a chance to look this over. He stated in order to
attain the additional density bonus, the development should include affordable housing. He
reported this was the way he read the City’s comprehensive plan. He commented it would then be
a perk for the developer and a perk for the City. However, in this case, the developer was
requesting $1.3 million of a financial subsidy from the City which would be 22.5 years of rental
payments for the 10 affordable units. He did not believe this was a reasonable starting point and
would be a deal breaker for him.
Councilmember Holden questioned if the City had a policy in place that required developers to
provide affordable housing.
Interim City Administrator Jagoe reported the City does not have any policies in place that
require affordable housing, even in the language within Chapter 6 of the comprehensive plan. She
commented even with additional density through the PUD process, the language does not specify
the requirement for a component for affordability.
Councilmember Holden asked if picking one aspect of the comprehensive plan was enough of a
reason to deny a request, such as building height or the affordability aspect. She commented she
was concerned about the legality of this.
City Attorney Bjerkness stated this was a key thing to keep in mind. She reported the City
Council can enforce regulations and rules within City Code. She explained the comprehensive
plan was not rules and regulations, but rather provided guidance.
Interim City Administrator Jagoe reported the portion of the comprehensive plan the Planning
Commission referenced addressed housing goals that encourage affordable and life cycle housing.
Councilmember Holden stated the goals within the comprehensive plan were provided to the
City by the Met Council, and again, these are goals not requirements for the City.
Councilmember Rousseau indicated the applicant has stated they would be willing to provide
8% of the units at 80% AMI and this would require $1.3 million from the City to offset the profits
for the investors. She believed the $1.3 million was not a realistic number for the City to offset
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL – JANUARY 13, 2025 11
the costs for the affordable units. She stated it was disappointing the comprehensive plan’s
affordable housing goals were not considered earlier by the developer. She understood former
Councilmember Fabel mentioned this at a meeting and it was also her understanding Planning
Commissioner Bjorklund reached out to the developer to encourage affordable housing as part of
this project. She understood other 55+ housing projects and the City has not followed the
affordability goals. She indicated she was not on the Council when these projects were completed.
It was her understanding that the City did not have an Ordinance in place to address affordable
housing requirements, and this was not okay. She commented on the park dedication fees, noting
the fee schedule was not updated this year. She anticipated with inflation, the fees should have
been increased 15%. She questioned if how many people living within these developments
qualified for some kind of subsidized housing discount.
Interim City Administrator Jagoe commented 80% AMI can be considered market rate and in
order to qualify for grant opportunities, the City would need to look at 50% or 60% AMI for
affordable housing needs.
Councilmember Holden stated two different 55+ housing developments have been completed in
the City. She reported the City was not willing to give the requested amount of financial
assistance for the first. She commented the second building had an agreement with the State of
Minnesota and Bethel University, where Bethel would be training their health care students at the
assisted living facility across from the Anderson Center. She agreed that 80% AMI was market
rate and noted she would not be willing to provide $1.3 million in order to create 10 units at 80%
AMI. However, she also was not willing to give up a $33 million housing project. She stated she
would be considering all aspects of this development.
Mayor Grant provided further information on PUD’s and the flexibility that can be offered
through the PUD process. He discussed how 80% AMI could happen organically and agreed that
80% AMI was a de facto market rate. He indicated the individuals that would be renting from this
development could afford more than market rate, while others would be below the area median
income. He stated he would not be able to support the $1.3 million financial request. He explained
this was a $33 million project for the City and he was not willing to turn it down on one item
alone. He stated if the 80% AMI and the $1.3 million were removed, he could support the project.
He reported earlier today he met with seven mayors and city administrators where he asked if any
of the other cities have directly funded affordable housing without TIF. He learned that none had
done it, except for one, which provided the developer a loan that had to be paid back.
Councilmember Monson asked how the City used the park dedication and residential dedication
fees.
Interim City Administrator Jagoe explained the park development fees would be used for park
improvement projects or the ongoing maintenance of parks. She reported the residential
development fee was used towards the overall maintenance and upkeep of park development and
park maintenance. She indicated the land use application is paid for through the application and
escrow fees.
Councilmember Monson asked what City ordinance says when it comes to setting park
dedication fees for projects.
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL – JANUARY 13, 2025 12
Interim City Administrator Jagoe stated for the residential dedication, the City looks at the fair
market value of the land for a cash dedication. She indicated the City did not get a value so the
City had to go off of the value of the property today, as assessed by Ramsey County. However,
she noted City staff has been provided with additional information as to the purchase price for the
land for this project.
Councilmember Monson stated when additional density is allowed, this typically means the
developer will provide additional amenities, such as EV chargers or a trail to the park. She
indicated the developer was meeting very basic standards and was still asking for variances on
several more items. She reported to her, this was not enough for the City to offer additional
density. She wanted to see the items that were missing included within the project plans, such as a
path to Royal Park. She indicated the City was already struggling to pay for trails and this project
would benefit greatly by having a trail connection.
Mayor Grant questioned if the City were to count the wetlands, no density bonus would be
required.
Planning Consultant Hofer reported this was the case, noting the site was 10.74 acres with 119
units on it.
Mayor Grant commented the PUD allows the Council to grant the density flexibility.
Planning Consultant Hofer stated this was correct.
Mayor Grant stated the developer will have access to the right of way along Highway 96 to the
north. He indicated a trail could be established to the Highway 96 trail. He anticipated the church
would have to provide some flexibility in order for a trail to be built to the adjacent park.
Planning Consultant Hofer reported that while the applicant was proposing to plant trees on the
house on the house of worship lot, there was limited work plan on the proposed Lot 2, Block 1.
He indicated the applicant could ask to construct a trail on the house of worship property, but the
church would have to give permission.
Mayor Grant anticipated it would be in the church’s best interest, to provide this amenity to the
members as it would be nice to have a trail from the church to the park. He questioned if the
development agreement could require the applicant to construct a trail to reach the park.
City Attorney Bjerkness indicated City Code has the option, where a subdivision borders a trail
that is identified within the comprehensive plan, the City can require the developer construct trail
improvements to connect, but this would only be applicable to property the developer owns.
Mayor Grant commented while the City really wants a trail connection, this would be on land
the developer does not own. Rather, the church owns the land.
Councilmember Holden stated this was a PUD and she was not seeing any special amenities
included within the plans. She suggested funding be provided by the applicant in order to
complete the trail connection to the park.
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL – JANUARY 13, 2025 13
Mayor Grant questioned who the applicant was for this project, Trident Development or the
church.
Interim City Administrator Jagoe reported the church was the property owner, but the applicant
was Trident Development.
Mayor Grant commented the standard park development rate would require the applicant to pay
$773,500, but based on the purchase price that was provided by Trident Development to applicant
was proposing to pay $450,000.
Councilmember Monson agreed with Councilmember Holden, reiterating this was a bare
minimum application and she did not understand how this project came forward. She reported the
City has no more time to make a decision on this project. She stated the information the Council
had requested before had not been included within the application. She commented the offer for
affordable housing offended her. She was of the opinion this was a clear strategic plan that was
brought forward by the applicant with the understanding the City would never accept. She
wanted to have a development on this property, but she was angered by the manner in which this
project has moved forward. While she wanted to deny the project, she was stuck. She expressed
frustration noting this was not the manner in which a developer partnered with the City. She
commented she did not love this project and noted she was not interested in waiving any fees for
the developer.
Councilmember Holden stated when the concept plan was considered, Councilmember Fabel
mentioned affordable housing and none of the other Councilmembers offered support. She stated
it was the Council’s fault for not addressing this issue sooner. She noted one other member of the
Planning Commission discussed affordable housing with the developer.
Councilmember Monson agreed the Council did not make the affordable housing requirements
clear. However, the Planning Commission wanted this addressed and she was offended by the
developer’s response.
Mayor Grant reiterated this was not a project where TIF financing was involved. He commented
this would be a totally different arena.
Councilmember Rousseau questioned what the benefit to the community would be with the
higher density.
Mayor Grant anticipated this would be higher tax revenue.
Councilmember Holden indicated the additional density was provided based on how the
building was laid out.
Mayor Grant requested the Council address the series of issues facing this request.
Councilmember Holden addressed resident dedication and noted she would support a payment
of $450,000.
Mayor Grant supported the Council putting a motion on the floor with amendments then to be
considered versus discussing each issue prior to putting a motion on the floor.
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL – JANUARY 13, 2025 14
Interim City Administrator Jagoe reported the Council had tabled action on the rezoning,
which meant the rezoning would have to be considered first prior to taking action on the PUD,
conditional use permit, site plan review, final plat and easement vacation.
Mayor Grant asked if these items could be considered under one motion.
City Attorney Bjerkness reported there are different voting thresholds for the different items.
Interim City Administrator Jagoe indicated these items were also separate Planning Cases.
Councilmember Monson stated she supported the Council working its way through what items
would be amended on Planning Case 24-018 before the rezoning was considered.
Mayor Grant commented typically the Council does not hold long discussions on items prior to
having a motion on the table, but perhaps this case could be an exception in order to gain
agreement. He suggested the Council speak further to the park dedication fee.
Councilmember Monson indicated staff has recommended 25 different conditions for this
Planning Case and any additional conditions would begin with Condition 26.
Councilmember Holden reiterated that she supported the residential dedication fee being on only
the parcel being purchased by the applicant based on the purchase price, which would set the fee
at $450,000.
Councilmember Monson stated she supported this as well.
Mayor Grant indicated he supported the $450,000 residential dedication fee.
Councilmember Holden recommended this fee be based on the appraisal information City staff
received from the applicant.
Planning Consultant Hofer stated staff did not receive appraisal information from the purchaser
and seller, and did not receive appraisal information. He explained if the City and the applicant do
not agree to a fair market price for the property, there needs to be an appraisal from the applicant.
Interim City Administrator Jagoe commented if the Council wanted to condition that they
would require an appraisal, this can be determined at the filing of the final plat.
Councilmember Holden asked if the City Attorney had language for this requirement.
City Attorney Bjerkness recommended this requirement read: The resident dedication fee be
based on an appraised amount to be determined and provided by the applicant at the applicant’s
expense.
The Council supported this language.
Councilmember Holden addressed the park development fee, which was $6,500 per unit. She
supported this fee being upheld. She noted based on the per unit fee, the applicant would be
responsible for paying a park development fee of $773,500.
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL – JANUARY 13, 2025 15
Councilmember Rousseau supported the proposed park development fee.
Councilmember Monson indicated the Council was unsure of how many units would be
constructed as part of this project, which would impact the park development fee that was paid by
the developer. She noted she did support the park development fee remaining $6,500 per unit.
Councilmember Weber agreed.
Councilmember Holden explained she had not made up her mind regarding density. She
recommended the wetlands not be included because this has not been included in past
developments. She reported the maximum density for this project should be 12 units per acre and
the developer was asking for 13.9 units per acre.
Mayor Grant stated the Council had the ability to provide for additional density through a PUD,
in exchange for something that improves the project.
Councilmember Monson questioned what the total number of units would be if the density
bonus were not allowed.
Planning Consultant Hofer stated the development would be allowed to have 102 units.
Councilmember Monson inquired what should be exchanged for the additional density.
Mayor Grant supported the addition or inclusion of a trail connection to the park. He reported if
14 units were removed from the project, this may jeopardize the financial feasibility of the
project. He explained these 14 units should be worth something to the developer and the
developer should be giving the community some benefit.
City Attorney Bjerkness pointed out that Section 1130.08 of the City Code speaks to cases
where a subdivision borders a trail identified in the City’s comprehensive plan, the developer or
subdivider shall (must) be responsible for constructing trail improvements that provide
connections to the trail. She reported this code language means the City Council shall make the
trail connection a requirement for the developer.
Interim City Administrator reported this language speaks to the fact the developer or subdivider
shall be responsible for creating the trail connection.
Mayor Grant questioned the length of the trail connection.
Interim City Administrator stated the trail connection would only be the length of the property,
which would be approximately 1,373 feet. She commented there would still be a gap from the
North Heights property line to Highway 96.
Councilmember Holden indicated she could support the bonus density for the full trail
connection.
Public Works Director/City Engineer Swearingen explained this trail segment would be a
good candidate for a back of curb bituminous trail. He noted the trail would require some tree
removal and site grading.
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL – JANUARY 13, 2025 16
Councilmember Weber indicated he envisioned the affordable housing units for the additional
density. He agreed the proposal from the developer was offensive. He noted while the trails would
be a nice add, he wanted to see the affordable housing units remain on the table.
Councilmember Holden asked if the Council supported giving the bonus density in order to
receive the trail. She indicated she could support the requested flexibility for density, FAR and
building height if the trail was included in the plans.
Councilmember Monson questioned if EV charging stations could be included.
Councilmember Holden commented this would be a separate requirement.
Councilmember Monson requested further information on what Councilmember Weber was
envisioning for affordable housing.
Councilmember Weber stated he hoped the entire density overage would be affordable housing,
or 17 units. He believed it was in good faith of the comprehensive plan, that the City should seek
options for affordable housing within this development.
Councilmember Holden asked if the comprehensive plan lists areas within the community where
affordable housing was allowed.
Interim City Administrator Jagoe explained at the time of writing the comprehensive plan,
within the housing chapter, there were areas that were anticipated for future development and this
site was not one guided for redevelopment and affordable housing. She noted this property was
zoned R-1 and guided for low density residential to the east.
Councilmember Monson inquired if the City could ask for affordable housing as a requirement
for density bonus.
City Attorney Bjerkness stated the requirement for affordable housing, or a threshold for
affordable housing in exchange for the density does go outside what is generally considered
within a PUD application. She referred back to her previous statement, noting the affordable
housing goals within the comprehensive plan have not been codified within City ordinances. She
did not recommend the City Council require affordable housing within the land use application
because it was within the comprehensive plan and not City ordinances.
Councilmember Monson asked if the City Council could require the trail.
City Attorney Bjerkness advised the trail connection could be required, due to the specific
language within City Code. She reported the trail connection does not have to be tied to the
density bonus.
Mayor Grant commented typically within a PUD, the trade offs relate to each other.
Councilmember Rousseau indicated she supported the inclusion of a trail connection.
Councilmember Monson was in agreement.
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL – JANUARY 13, 2025 17
Councilmember Weber explained he had a very hard time accepting the fact there was a
statement within the comprehensive plan to add additional density and the City can’t tie it to
anything. He stated one of the biggest needs in the community was affordable housing. He
recommended this language be reviewed because he wanted the City to have this option. He
indicated he could support the inclusion of the trail connection.
Mayor Grant commented on how expensive affordable housing was for developers and stated
often times required cost sharing between the City, school district, State and the County.
Councilmember Monson supported the City having leverage in these moments and she
supported the City Council having further discussions on what other cities have done to
encourage affordable housing.
Mayor Grant indicated he could support the increased density, FAR and building height with the
City requiring the trail connection.
Councilmember Holden stated she would like to hear from the applicant, noting she would not
support the rezoning, if the applicant was not going to construct this building.
Mr. Fink addressed the Council noting when he first started looking at this project, even in the
early concept phases, he was in excess of 120 units. He reported as he worked with City staff and
learned how density was calculated, the number of units was pared down through the design
phase to 119 units. He was of the opinion this was an appropriate number of units given the lot
size, especially given the wetland deductions, which required the density bonus request. He
explained 119 units was the minimum number in order to make the finances work. He explained
he could support the trail requirement as proposed by the Council. He suggested the trail
connection extending to Highway 96 adjacent to the site to the northeast corner of the church
property, if within the public right of way, that the cost be offset from the park dedication fee. He
indicated this would then provide a complete trail connection.
Councilmember Holden stated she believed this was a great idea, because a complete trail would
then be in place.
Councilmember Monson agreed. She asked if the applicant had a problem with providing EV
charging stations.
Mr. Fink explained he did not object to EV charging stations being required. He reported it was
his understanding the charging stations would have to be outside of the parking ramp for fire
safety purposes.
Mayor Grant stated he has heard the applicant supported moving forward with the project with
the inclusion of a trail/trail extension to Royal Park and the inclusion of EV charging stations.
Mr. Fink reported this was the case.
Councilmember Holden questioned how many EV charging stations should be required.
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL – JANUARY 13, 2025 18
Mr. Fink indicated he recently completed a housing project in Chaska with 112 units and he was
required to have two EV charging stations which would provide four charging spots in the
parking lot.
Councilmember Holden questioned what the possibility was for getting a small play structure
included in the development for grandchildren to play on.
Mr. Fink anticipated he could come to some sort of an agreement on a play structure for this
development.
Councilmember Holden requested further information regarding the security system that would
be in place.
Planning Consultant Hofer stated the conditional use permit has specific standards that have to
be met or reviewed and the standards within the code that describe the security plan do not set
specific metrics to be met. Therefore, staff could not determine if the plans were sufficient.
Interim City Administrator Jagoe commented the City Council could add a condition requiring
the applicant to provide a security plan prior to the issuance of a building permit. She explained
City Code states a security plan shall be submitted at the time of the development proposal,
subject to approval of the Ramsey County Sheriff’s Department.
Mr. Fink indicated this was a request he was unfamiliar with. He explained he provided his
security measures and noted he could work with the Sheriff’s Department on this matter.
Councilmember Holden questioned if the brick would have mortar.
Mr. Fink reported the brick product was a thin brick that was applied with an adhesive on the
exterior of the building and in between each brick was a grout product.
Councilmember Holden addressed the pork chop. She questioned how the proposed traffic plan
would keep people from taking a right hand turn out of the underground parking lot. She inquired
if there was more the City could do to address the traffic safety concerns.
Public Works Director/City Engineer Swearingen indicated he could further review the
geometry to ensure the allowed turning movements were more apparent.
Councilmember Holden recommended a condition be added to require the applicant to work
with the City Engineer on the egress/ingress points from the parking garage.
Mr. Fink stated the proposed renderings were an artistic depiction and were not the engineered
plans. He commented on how the right hand motion may be necessary in order to allow residents
to take a right hand turn out of the underground parking lot. He suggested the restriction of traffic
out onto Snelling Avenue be managed in another manner.
Councilmember Holden agreed, but noted she was worried about cars driving through the
church parking lot in order to reach Snelling Avenue.
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL – JANUARY 13, 2025 19
Councilmember Monson supported the removal of the pork chop directly outside the
underground parking ramp. She was of the opinion the pork chop at Snelling Avenue was
sufficient.
Mr. Fink indicated he was not opposed to the pork chop at Snelling Avenue.
Mayor Grant stated he has heard that these conditions were acceptable to the applicant and he
was still willing to build the proposed structure.
Mr. Fink reported this was the case.
MOTION: Councilmember Holden moved and Councilmember Monson seconded a
motion to approve Planning Case 24-015 and the adoption of Resolution 2025-
006 for an amendment to the zoning map to rezone 10.74 acres from B-1
Limited Business District to R-4 Multiple Dwelling District at 1700 Highway
96 West, based on the findings of fact and the submitted plans, as amended by
the conditions in the January 13, 2025 Report to the City Council. The motion
carried 4-1 (Councilmember Weber opposed).
MOTION: Councilmember Holden moved and Mayor Grant seconded a motion to
approve Planning Case 24-018 and the adoption of Resolution 2025-007 for a
Master Planned Unit Development, Final Planned Unit Development,
Conditional Use Permit, Site Plan Review, Final Plat for the property that
currently contains a place of worship at 1700 Highway 96 West, based on the
findings of fact and the submitted plans, as amended by the conditions in the
January 13, 2025 Report to the City Council.
Councilmember Weber stated the amount of discussion that has been held on this item speaks to
the fact this item should have gone back to the City Council at a work session and probably still
should.
Councilmember Monson asked if this item were approved, should amendments then be
considered.
Mayor Grant commented amendments would be considered at this time.
Councilmember Weber expressed concern with how much it would cost to build the portion of
trail that would be covered by park dedication.
Mr. Fink indicated he would receive competitive bids for this project and he could provide City
staff with back up documentation as to these costs.
Mayor Grant estimated the trail portion that would have to be covered by park dedication fees
was about 396 feet.
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL – JANUARY 13, 2025 20
AMENDMENT: Councilmember Holden moved and Councilmember Monson seconded
a motion to add Condition 26 to read: Residential dedication shall be a
cash contribution in lieu of land and calculated based upon the fair market
value of Lot 1, Block 1, as determined by an appraisal submitted to the City
by the Applicant and paid for by the Applicant; Condition 27 to read: The
Park Development shall be a cash contribution in lieu of land and
calculated using the current per unit fee of $6,500, for a total park
development fee of $773,500.00 based upon 119 units; Condition 28 to
read: The Applicant shall install at their expense a trail along Snelling
Avenue and within Snelling Avenue right-of-way, adjacent to the Subject

The final location and specifications of the trail connections shall be
determined by the PW Director/City Engineer and Community
Development Director; Condition 29 to read: The trail connection north
of this site to Highway 96 along Snelling Avenue and within Snelling
Avenue right-of-way, which shall be approximately 396 feet in length to

shall provide a Security Plan to the City, which must be reviewed and
approved by the Ramsey County Sheriff’s Office; and Condition 33 to
read: The vehicular access points to the Subject Property onto Snelling
Avenue such as “left turn only” must be reviewed and approved by the PW
Director/City Engineer. The amendment carried (5-0).
Mayor Grant questioned if the $1.3 million for affordable housing had been removed from
consideration.
City Attorney Bjerkness explained this addition was only included within the supplemental
narrative from the applicant and not the submitted plans. The City Attorney explained the
supplemental narrative was not included in the motions for approval from City staff.
The amended motion carried 4-1 (Councilmember Weber opposed).
Planning Consultant Hofer reported City staff had no concerns regarding the vacation of
drainage and utility easements. He explained the City Engineer found the easements were no
longer necessary.
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL – JANUARY 13, 2025 21
MOTION: Councilmember Monson moved and Councilmember Holden seconded a
motion to approve Planning Case 24-018 and the adoption of Resolution 2025-
008 for a Vacation of Drainage and Utility Easement for the property at 1700
Highway 96 West. A roll call vote was taken. The motion carried (5-0).
B. Resolution 2025-009 Relating to the 2025 City Council Liaisons for
Commissions and Committees and Mayor Pro-Tem
Assistant to the City Administrator/City Clerk Hanson stated at its December 9 work session,
the City Council discussed liaison assignments to the City’s Committees and Commissions.
During that discussion, Council consensus was to remove the Council liaison for Communications
and staff received direction on the remaining appointments. Following that work session, staff
became aware of a conflict regarding potential appointments to the Lake Johanna Fire Department
(LJFD) liaisons; therefore, staff is seeking direction from Council regarding those appointments.
Assistant to the City Administrator/City Clerk Hanson reported the City’s other various
commission and committee assignments as previously agreed upon at the December work
session:
Councilmember Monson indicated she supported the appointments as discussed. However, she
noted her name should have been included on the Fire Relief Association, as she previously
agreed to this position.
Councilmember Holden asked that her name be removed from the PTRC as she did not believe
she would be a good fit for this committee. In addition, she did not believe the Yellow Ribbon
committee should be included on this list.
Councilmember Rousseau stated she did not understand how the Yellow Ribbon was accepting
individuals and she supported having the Yellow Ribbon removed from this list.
The Council was in agreement with the recommendation to remove the Beyond the Yellow
Ribbon City-appointed representative.
Councilmember Holden commented the Yellow Ribbon does not have events but rather supports
individuals in need of assistance.
Councilmember Monson indicated Councilmember Holden was interested in the Lake Johanna
Board of Directors and noted there may be an opportunity to see if there was a way to rearrange
the timeframe, or shorten the meetings.
Councilmember Holden commented she has not been good enough to serve on a committee for
the past two years and this was bothersome to her. She indicated the biasness for the past two
years was concerning to her. She questioned why she was good enough to serve on a committee
now.
Councilmember Weber asked if Councilmember Holden just asked to get off of a committee.
Councilmember Holden reported this was the case, noting she did not believe she was a good fit
for the PTRC.
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL – JANUARY 13, 2025 22
Councilmember Weber questioned what committees Councilmember Holden would like to
serve on now.
Councilmember Holden explained she asked to serve on the Planning Commission.
Councilmember Weber indicated he was the only person to raise his hand for the Planning
Commission.
Councilmember Holden recalled that she stated Councilmember Weber may not be the best fit
for the Planning Commission because he just served with the Planning Commission and she
wanted to serve with this group.
Mayor Grant commented one option to resolve this issue would be for Councilmember Weber to
serve on the PTRC and allow Councilmember Holden to serve as the Planning Commission
liaison.
Councilmember Weber declined this request.
Councilmember Rousseau indicated she would be willing to serve as the PTRC liaison.
MOTION: Councilmember Monson moved and Councilmember Rousseau seconded a
motion to adopt Resolution 2025-009 Appointing 2025 City Council Liaisons
for Commissions and Committees and Mayor Pro Tem with the amendment
that the Lake Johanna Fire Department Headquarters JPA Representative
and Board of Directors Representative be Councilmember Holden, the Relief
Association Representative be Councilmember Monson and the PTRC
Liaison be Councilmember Rousseau. The motion carried 4-1
(Councilmember Holden opposed).
C. Recruitment of Senior Communications Coordinator
Interim City Administrator Jagoe stated the City currently has a vacancy following the
resignation of the Senior Communications Coordinator. She reported Council should discuss the
potential next steps for recruitment for this position which include authorization to recruit, give
staff direction to bring this to the Personnel Committee, or schedule as a future work session
discussion to review the job description duties and City communication needs. Councilmembers
have previously expressed an interest in being part of the interview panel for certain positions at
City Hall; currently no Councilmembers are slated to be on the interview panel for this position.
Council may want to discuss if any Councilmembers would want to be designated to participate if
there were a motion to authorize recruitment.
Mayor Grant stated at a recent mayors/city administrator meeting he asked how other cities were
managing communications. He explained there were a wide range of options, noting larger cities
were in one camp and cities of Arden Hills size had a portion of an FTE. He asked if this matter
should go back to the Personnel Committee for further consideration.
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL – JANUARY 13, 2025 23
MOTION: Councilmember Monson moved and Councilmember Holden seconded a
motion to table action on this item recommending this item be reviewed by the
Personnel Committee and be brought back to the City Council with a
recommendation. The motion carried (5-0).
12. UNFINISHED BUSINESS
None.
13. COUNCIL COMMENTS
Mayor Grant reported St. Anthony and Falcon Heights both did solar panels through the Public
Building Solar Panel Project and the payback could be as quick as a couple of years. He noted he
passed this information onto staff.
Mayor Grant commented the Lake Johanna Fire Department opening bid would occur on
January 30.
Mayor Grant indicated the single hauler referendum in Mounds View failed. He noted the city of
Mounds View had voted to require haulers to provide the City with rate sheets and failure to
provide this sheet would mean the business was not licensed. He reported Mounds View has as
many or more haulers as Arden Hills. He stated this was an interesting approach to level the
playing field.
Councilmember Rousseau thanked the Chair Jill Anderson of the PTRC for her years of service
to the City.
Councilmember Rousseau thanked Tim Nelson for serving on the PTRC for three terms. She
recommended a thank you be sent to Mr. Nelson acknowledging his commitment to the City. She
explained she wanted to see the City doing more to acknowledge its volunteers.
Councilmember Rousseau commented the PTRC recommended any improvements to the
Hazelnut parking lot not be done during the State Fair.
Councilmember Rousseau requested staff forward the Great River Greening contract onto the
City Council. She noted buckthorn would be removed from Floral and Hazelnut Parks next week.
Mayor Grant welcomed Councilmember Weber to the City Council.
Councilmember Weber stated after serving on the Planning Commission many years, he wanted
to thank Commissioners Wicklund, Blilie and Mitchell for their service on the Planning
Commission. He welcomed the new members to the Planning Commission.
Councilmember Weber explained he was looking at the Twin Cities Gateway site and he
recommended the Northern Lights Bingo Hall be removed.
Councilmember Holden questioned how the City was doing on the lead water connectors.
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL – JANUARY 13, 2025 24
Public Works Director/City Engineer Swearingen stated he did not have an updated number
for the City Council. He estimated the City had identified 500 connections, not on the City side.
Councilmember Holden requested further information on the LED light kits.
Interim City Administrator Jagoe estimated the City had given away less than 10 kits to date.
Councilmember Monson commented the City was working to find connections in order to
communicate with Arden Manor regarding the LED light kits.
Mayor Grant stated the city of Ramsey joined the Gateway Visitor Bureau. He indicated the City
of Arden Hills was seeing increased heads in beds, which meant revenues were up.
Councilmember Holden explained she attended the ribbon cutting for Chiroway with
Councilmember Rousseau.
ADJOURN
MOTION: Councilmember Monson moved and Mayor Grant seconded a motion to

DATE: February 10, 2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
Jessica Jagoe, Interim City Administrator
FROM: Jen Estling, Deputy Clerk
SUBJECT: Walters Recycling and Refuse, Inc. Comprehensive Recycling Services Contract
Approval
Budgeted Amount: Estimated Amount: Funding Source:
N/A N/A N/A
Council Should Consider Motion to approve, table, or deny the following:
• Authorize the Interim City Administrator, Mayor, and City Attorney to enter into a
contract with Walters Recycling and Refuse, Inc. for Residential Recycling Services for a
five year period from May 5, 2025 to May 4, 2030.
Background The City of Arden Hills has contracted for curbside recycling service since 1992, for single
family, duplex, triplex and fourplex Residential Dwelling Units (RDUs). The current contract
with Republic Services ends on May 4, 2025 and Republic Services notified the City that it
would not extend the current contract.
A Request for Proposals (RFP) for residential recycling services was released by the City in
September of 2024. Proposals submitted were carefully evaluated by the review committee based
on the criteria outlined in the RFP. The final analysis indicated that Walters Recycling and
Refuse, Inc. had the best price for the services requested, relative to the recycling needs of the
City and its residents.
The new contract will continue to provide recycling services to the majority of residential units
in the City with the exception of Multi-Dwelling Units (MDUs) which are apartment and
condominium complexes including: Cottage Villas, Hunters Park Condos, Parkshore
Apartments, Arden Manor, E Street Flats, Arden Flats, Johanna Shores, New Perspectives and
CONSENT ITEM – 8B
MEMORANDUM
Page 2 of 5
Round Lake Senior Living. Currently, apartment and condominium complexes within the City
contract for their own recycling services; however, they may opt-in to the City’s Recycling
Program.
The City Attorney has reviewed the contractual language and had recommendations for edits.
Her changes were regarding the exclusion of future Rice Creek Commons development from this
contract, insurance requirements, and some general changes to definitions. These
recommendations have been incorporated in the language of the final agreement. A draft of the
proposed contract, as reviewed by the City Attorney, is included as Attachment A.
Contract Length
The City Council reviewed the proposal submitted by Walters and a draft contract (that mirrored
current contract) at the December 9 Work Session. At that meeting, Council directed Staff to
negotiate a 5-year contract with Walters. Upon Council approval, the City will enter into a five
(5) year contract for residential recycling services with Walters Recycling and Refuse, Inc.
beginning on May 5, 2025.
Contract Extensions
Council unanimously recommended pursuing a 5-year contract with the option to extend the
contract, if the City so chooses. Per contract language in Section 1.2:
The City at its sole discretion may elect to extend the Contract for one (1), three (3) year
extension. The terms and conditions of this Contract shall apply to any such Contract extension.
Nothing in this Contract shall be interpreted to imply or infer that the City is committing to such
extensions.
The three (3) year extension option was requested by Walters because annual extensions would
require the process and resources by either party to be repeated every 6-9 months after
notification of each extension.
Payment for Base Collection Services
This section of the proposed contract for the “base Contact prices” remains unchanged from the
rates previously presented to the City Council.
• The Contract prices set for recyclable collection services for RDUs:
Commencing May 5, 2025, the base Contract prices shall be $7.99 per eligible RDU per
month for weekly recycling service. Eligible RDUs with more than one (1) cart will be
charged an additional fee of $2.00 per household per month per cart.
It should be noted that the current recycling contract includes the same contract language
for the additional charge with more than one (1) cart. However, city staff has learned that
the current hauler has elected not to bill for additional carts. Walters has agreed not to bill
the $2.00 rate for additional carts until January 1, 2026 because of the contract timing and
when recycling fees need to be set. At that time, city staff will finalize with the hauler the
Page 3 of 5
listing of households with multiple carts for annual assessment purposes. If a resident
requests an additional cart after the County assessment amounts have been submitted,
Walters will collect recycling from all carts at that household for the remainder of that
calendar year, at no additional cost. Residents with additional carts will receive a letter
informing them that the amount assessed to their property may be higher than the base
fee, based on them having the additional cart(s).
• The base Contract prices set for recyclable collection services for MDUs:
Commencing May 5, 2025, the base Contract prices shall be $85.00 per eligible MDU
per month for each four-yard container serviced once per week or $10.20 per eligible
MDU per month for each 65-gallon cart serviced once per week.
While all MDUs can opt into the City’s recycling program, there are currently no MDUs
opting in.
Annual Contract Price Increase
The draft contract language shared as part of the RFP process included carry over language from
the current recycling contract which sets annual increases by Consumer Price Index (CPI) or by
three (3) percent, whichever is less. Walters as part of the contract negotiations asked for this
percentage to be raised based on historical CPI rates. City staff as part of the contract
negotiations worked with our recycling consultant from Foth Infrastructure and Environment,
LLC on recommended language and reviewed several other City recycling contracts. There was
no consistency amongst other contracts reviewed for this language, but staff found contracts with
caps ranging from 4.5% to 7% and even those with no cap and the rate fluctuates based on CPI
annually.
As presented, annual price increases will be based on the Consumer Price Index for All Urban
Consumers (CPI-U) or by five (5) percent, whichever is less. Staff asked Walters to provide a
10-year lookback to determine a fair increase for the hauler while still including a cap to protect
the City. Walters’ lookback data is provided as Attachment B. The contract also states that the
City may reopen negotiations if the Contractor incurs market increases, above the capped
amount.
The language agreed upon is as follows:
The City agrees that the price per RDU and MDU will increase each year by the twelve-month
average percentage of change in Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers: Water and
Sewer and Trash Collection Service in the U.S. City Average as reported by the U.S. Bureau of
Labor Statistics for the preceding calendar year or by five (5) percent, whichever is less. A zero
percent or negative change in CPI will result in no change in the compensation rate for the
respective contract year. The price change shall go into effect on May 5th of each year. The
Contractor will notify the City by the last week of January the compensation rates for the
subsequent contract year. In the event of substantial market change in any of the Recyclable
Material Commodity prices or sustained inflation at any time during the Term of this agreement,
the City or Contractor may, at eithers option and upon written notice of the other, request to
reopen negotiations for the amount per month charged for Recycling Collection services.
Page 4 of 5
City Clean-Up Event
The City Council had requested review of potentially including a clean-up event or curbside
collection event in the recycling contract. Residential households today have the option for
curbside bulky waste collection with their current trash hauler.
Walters is proposing an Annual Spring Clean-Up Event in partnership with the City. Walters’
recommendation is to host an event, on a Saturday in the spring, which allows residents to
recycle materials and prevent those items from going to a waste-to-energy facility. Having an
annual event in a designated location allows residents to recycle items that otherwise would be
disposed of as trash. Walters has indicated this is also the most cost-effective way to conduct a
clean-up event. The City would provide a location, cones, traffic control, assisting with staff to
run the event and answer questions, etc. Walters is responsible for providing trucks, roll off
containers, drivers and staff to assist with itemizing material.
The new contract with Walters will take effect May 5, 2025. The proposed contract states the
Contractor will work with the City to facilitate a spring clean-up event. Due to the timing of the
contract start date it is anticipated that the City would still work with Recycle Technologies, Inc.
for a drop off event in the fall of 2025, as residents are used to.
Walters will collaborate with Staff to plan a spring event in 2026. Walters suggests a targeted
approach for the first event, possibly appliances or mattresses only or some combination of
limited bulky items. SCORE grant incentive dollars cannot be used on the same incentive year
after year, unless the incentive expands. Having a smaller event for the first year, then expanding
on recycling services for the second event would allow us to continue to use the SCORE grant
incentive dollars for future years. Walters provided an example of pricing and the types of items
that could be collected at this type of event. The list is provided as Attachment C.
Other Contract Notables
As part of the contract negotiations, there were other minor changes from the current contract
language reflective of current industry standards. The current contract with Republic Services
had largely not been amended since 2015. These changes were reviewed with Ramsey County
Solid Waste Program staff and our recycling consultant with Foth Infrastructure and
Environment, LLC. prior to inclusion in the contract. These other items were as follows:
• Pollution Liability Insurance was listed at $5 million per occurrence. Walters currently
carries a $2 million policy. The additional premium would cost Walters an extra $20,000
per year. The City Attorney reviewed the request and could not find any statutory
authority or minimums requiring the $5 million. Additionally, our Recycling Consultant
reviewed several other contracts and found some did not reference any coverage related
to pollution. Two specified the $5 million and others didn’t state a dollar amount but used
language that puts the liability on the contractor. Both the City Attorney and the
Recycling Consultant were comfortable with the $2 million policy.
Page 5 of 5
• Reporting due dates for the monthly and annual reports were adjusted from the 15th day
of the month to the 30th day. This change will not interfere with Staff’s ability to
complete required reporting.
• Language regarding credits and reporting for revenue sharing was removed. Walters’ bid
did not include revenue share. Many communities are moving away from revenue sharing
because it is difficult to budget for and the market is unpredictable.
Hauler Transition Roll Out
Walters will continue the current collection schedule days and residents will continue to use the
carts they have now. Walters has a strong contingency plan, with an account manager who will
“own” the relationship with the City and be the day-to-day Senior-level contact at Walters as we
make this transition. Walters has provided the following tentative transition schedule to prepare
for the change in haulers. Staff provided the most updated address and container size information
received from the current recycling hauler to Walters on February 6, 2025.

Budget Impact
The recycling budget is an enterprise fund that receives revenues from the annual household fee
that is assessed to the property taxes and from the SCORE grant provided by Ramsey County.
Most of the expenses are from the services provided by the Recycling Hauler. Since there are no
other dedicated funding sources, the revenue must be balanced with the expenses. The recycling
fee is set annually by the City. Under the proposed contract, any rate increase shall not exceed
five (5) percent.

14. Payment for Base Collection Services
14.1 The City shall be responsible for invoicing and collecting the utility rate fees from all
eligible RDUs and MDUs receiving collection services.
14.2 The City may give the Contractor oral notice of discontinuation of service to RDUs or
MDUs, promptly followed by written confirmation of the order. Upon reinstatement of
service at the RDU or MDU by the City, the Contractor shall resume collections on the
next scheduled collection day.
14.3 The Contractor shall bill the City for any collection services rendered to mutually
agreed-upon, eligible RDUs and MDUs according to the collection service Contract
prices set forth in this Contract. The Contractor shall invoice the City on a monthly
basis within ten (10) days following the end of each month in a format to be specified
by the City. The Contractor shall itemize applicable charges by county, state or federal
agencies.
14.4 The City shall pay the Contractor within 35 days after receiving and approving the invoice
from the Contractor. The City’s payment to the Contractor shall be based on the approved
invoice and the collection service Contract prices set forth in this Contract. The Contractor
shall be entitled to payment for services rendered provided an approved invoice is
submitted to the City pursuant to the terms of this Contract regardless of whether or not
the City collects the utility rate fee from the specific RDU or MDU for such services.
However, the Contractor shall not be entitled to receive payment for dwelling units for
which the Contractor has received notice from the City of discontinuance of service. The
City shall be entitled to offsets in its payments to Contractor amounts for Contractor errors
or omissions as specified in the Liquidated Damages Section 13.4.
14.5 The City will compensate the Contractor through the base Contract prices set for
recyclable collection services for RDUs. Commencing May 5, 2025, the base Contract
prices will be:
Recyclables Collection shall be $7.99 per eligible RDU per month for weekly recycling service.
Eligible RDUs with more than one (1) cart will be charged an additional fee of $2.00 per
household per month per cart. The City assesses the curbside recycling fees to RDUs through
Ramsey County Property Taxes. The City will provide that list to the Contractor. The Contractor
agrees that only RDUs that have been assessed the additional fee will be billed for the extra cart
fee for the entirety of that year.
14.6 City will compensate the Contractor through the base Contract prices set for recyclable
collection services for MDUs. Commencing May 5, 2025, the base Contract prices will
be:
Recyclables Collection shall be $85.00 per eligible MDU per month for each four-yard
container serviced once per week or $10.20 per eligible MDU per month for each 65-
gallon cart serviced once per week.
14.7 The City shall provide a count of eligible RDUs and MDUs by January 1 of each year.
CITY OF ARDEN HILLS, MN
CONTRACT FOR THE COLLECTION OF RESIDENTIAL RECYCLABLE MATERIALS Page 25
These annual counts may include additional RDUs and MDUs added due to new
development, redevelopment or other such changes.
14.8 The Contract price will be multiplied by the total number of RDUs and MDUs as
determined by the City to result in the monthly payment amount to Contractor.
14.9 Annual Contract Price Increase.
The City agrees that the price per RDU and MDU will increase each year by the twelve-
month average percentage of change in Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers:
Water and Sewer and Trash Collection Service in the U.S. City Average as reported by
the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics for the preceding calendar year or by five (5)
percent, whichever is less. A zero percent or negative change in CPI will result in no
change in the compensation rate for the respective contract year. The price change shall
go into effect on May 5th of each year. The Contractor will notify the City by the last
week of January the compensation rates for the subsequent contract year. In the event of
substantial market change in any of the Recyclable Material Commodity prices or
sustained inflation at any time during the Term of this agreement, the City or Contractor
may, at eithers option and upon written notice of the other, request to reopen
negotiations for the amount per month charged for Recycling Collection services.
14.10 Fees for Special Events.
Equipment, labor, cleanup fees, and event dates and schedules for all special events or
other services in the City shall be negotiated between the party arranging the special event
and Contractor, provided, however, that Contractor shall not have exclusive rights to
provide service at these events, and the parties arranging special events may contract for
services with a hauler of their choice.
14.11 Change in Law Provision.
The City and Walters Recycling & Refuse, Inc. agree that any change in law that
materially affects the performance or pricing of the agreement will be reviewed within 30
days of such law taking affect. Both the City and Walters Recycling & Refuse, Inc. agree
that following the review the parties will negotiate in good faith to return this agreement
to substantially similar terms, conditions, or pricing that were present prior to change in
law.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: February 10, 2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Jessica Jagoe, Interim City Administrator
SUBJECT: City Newsletter Policy
Budgeted Amount: Actual Amount: Funding Source:
N/A N/A N/A
Council Should Consider
Motions to approve, table, or deny the following:
• Adoption of a City Newsletter Policy.
Background
At the October 23, 2023, work session, the City Council and Staff discussed the creation of a
Newsletter Policy. The policy is intended to put in place a set of guidelines that Staff and other
contributors will follow as it relates to the City newsletter to ensure Staff has clearly defined
procedures when creating each edition of the newsletter. For 2025, the Council consensus was not to
have a Council appointed Communication Liaison for the newsletter. At the January 13th work
session, Staff brought back policy updates for how the process for submittal of topics would work.
Language from the 2023 policy was updated to strike the reference to the Communication Liaison and
inserted the point of contact for topic submissions as the City Administrator. Procedurally all other
elements of the policy remain unchanged. Council had no additional changes and directed Staff to
bring forth the draft policy for adoption.

Last updated: XX11-X6-20253
Prepared by: Jessica Jagoe, Interim City AdministratorLuke Cardona, Senior

Page 3of 5

Each newsletter edition (listed above under Volume) will have corresponding deadlines to
submit topics. To ensure the production of each newsletter stays on track, topics will only be
considered and/or approved for inclusion in the newsletter if it is received by the deadline of
which the newsletter edition is requested.

dates are the deadlines in 20254:
Deadline Newsletter Edition
January 35, 20254 January/February

November 71, 20254 December
Future yearly schedule of calendar deadlines will be set as the first Friday of each month and will
not require annual adoption of the policy for updates to the above table.
Topics Final Approval:
Not all topic requests are guaranteed to be approved upon submission. Factors like timing,
relevance, newsletter spacing, or unaligned vision can all be a factor in a specific topic request
not being approved. Newsletter topics will be approved based on the final priority:
1. If they were submitted by the deadline for the given edition
2. If the City Administrator deems a top high priority and importance
The City Administrator will have the final say on the topics in each newsletter edition.
Article Guidelines:
It’s important to provide high-quality and digestible content in the newsletter. When writing
articles, things like timing, impact, and relevance should be taken into consideration.
• Timing – the newsletter is not a newspaper, so the timing in which some information
is dispersed must be taken into consideration.
• Impact – each newsletter should impact a large portion of our audience. Creating
content catered to just a few individuals is not impactful.
• Relevance – ensure the articles are appropriate for our audience during the month
they will receive the newsletter.
The following guidelines should be observed when writing articles:
Page 4of 5
• Use a clear subject line so readers clearly know what that article will be about.
• Include a clear call to action when applicable. If the article is intended to elicit a
reaction from the reader, then provide a clear call to action, like a website to visit or a
phone number to call.
• Keep articles as brief as possible. If there is content that requires more length, it
should be posted on the City’s website and include a short summary in the newsletter,
directing readers to the website for the full article.
• Break up heavy text with bullet points and break every few sentences to create
short, easy-to-read paragraphs.
• Include images to keep things engaging. Images should be clear, crisp, and not
blurred. Only images captured by City officials or procured from a stock image
website (either paid or free) can be used.
Article Contributors:
Newsletter articles will be primarily written by the City’s communications staff person(s). Given
the nature of the topic, other subject matter experts may be asked to write articles or short
informative blubs. These contributors may include:
• City Admin staff (City Admin, City Clerk, Deputy City Clerk)
• Department Directors
• General staff
• Committee and Commission members
• Ramsey County
• Other partnering agencies or organizations
Articles Final Approval:
With the exception of City Council members, written articles will be sent for review to the
person(s) who requested the article for inclusion in the newsletter. For example, if an article
about the parks is requested, then the Public Works Director will have a chance to review the
article and provide any edits and feedback. They may also include other individuals in the review
process who are vested in the topic (i.e., Recreation Supervisor, Assistant Public Works Director,
etc.).
Newsletter Review Process
Each newsletter edition will go through multiple rounds of reviews and edits. Below is the order
in which each review will occur and who will be included. Note the newsletter is not limited to
this review cycle and may consist of more when necessary.
• Review #1: City Administrator, City Clerk, Senior Communications Coordinator (content
and layout review)
• Review #2: Council Appointed Communications Liaison (content and layout review)
• Review #23: City Administrator, City Clerk, Senior Communications Coordinator (final
draft review)
• Review #34: Customer Service Specialist (proofreading)
• Review #45: City Councilmembers (proofreading)
• Review #56: City Clerk, Senior Communications Coordinator
• Review #67: City Administrator
Page 5of 5
Note – after the newsletter is sent to the printer there is another 1-2 reviews that occur.
Post Review Approval

Coordinator. Requests will be accepted by the following individuals:
• City staff department heads, assistant directors, and managers.
• Senior Communications Coordinator or another person(s) in communications position.
• City Council.
Topic submissions by any other individuals must be routed through the City staff department
director to then be suggested to the City Administrator and the Senior Communications

following individuals:
• City Administrator (responsible for sharing with City Council)
• City Clerk
• Deputy City Clerk
• Department Directors (responsible for sharing with their teams)
General City staff members must submit their topic requests to their department head, who will
then route the request to the City Admin/Comms Coordinator. Department directors will work
with their staff to determine if the topic(s) is appropriate, timely, or necessary for the most
upcoming newsletter edition. Topics can be re-submitted to the Director anytime for
consideration in future newsletter editions.
City Council members must submit their topic requests to the City Administrator, who will then
route the request to the Comms Coordinator. The City Administrator will work with the Council
to determine if the topic(s) is appropriate, timely, or necessary for the most upcoming newsletter
edition. Suggested topics may be cataloged for consideration in future newsletter editions based
on this criteria and newsletter spacing.
Committee and Commission members, with the majority of their committee/commission in
support, must submit their topic requests to their staff liaison, who will then route the request to
their department head. Staff liaisons will work with their supervisor to determine if the topic(s) is

Topic Deadlines:
Each newsletter edition (listed above under Volume) will have corresponding deadlines to
submit topics. To ensure the production of each newsletter stays on track, topics will only be
considered and/or approved for inclusion in the newsletter if it is received by the deadline of
which the newsletter edition is requested.
The deadline to submit topics for each edition is the first Friday of each month. The following
dates are the deadlines in 2025:
Deadline Newsletter Edition
January 3, 2025 January/February
February 7, 2025 March
March 7, 2025 April
April 4, 2025 May

Future yearly schedule of calendar deadlines will be set as the first Friday of each month and will
not require annual adoption of the policy for updates to the above table.
Topics Final Approval:
Not all topic requests are guaranteed to be approved upon submission. Factors like timing,
relevance, newsletter spacing, or unaligned vision can all be a factor in a specific topic request
not being approved. Newsletter topics will be approved based on the final priority:
1. If they were submitted by the deadline for the given edition
2. If the City Administrator deems a top high priority and importance
The City Administrator will have the final say on the topics in each newsletter edition.
Article Guidelines:
It’s important to provide high-quality and digestible content in the newsletter. When writing
articles, things like timing, impact, and relevance should be taken into consideration.
• Timing – the newsletter is not a newspaper, so the timing in which some information
is dispersed must be taken into consideration.
• Impact – each newsletter should impact a large portion of our audience. Creating
content catered to just a few individuals is not impactful.
• Relevance – ensure the articles are appropriate for our audience during the month
they will receive the newsletter.
The following guidelines should be observed when writing articles:
• Use a clear subject line so readers clearly know what that article will be about.
Page 4 of 5
• Include a clear call to action when applicable. If the article is intended to elicit a
reaction from the reader, then provide a clear call to action, like a website to visit or a
phone number to call.
• Keep articles as brief as possible. If there is content that requires more length, it
should be posted on the City’s website and include a short summary in the newsletter,
directing readers to the website for the full article.
• Break up heavy text with bullet points and break every few sentences to create
short, easy-to-read paragraphs.
• Include images to keep things engaging. Images should be clear, crisp, and not
blurred. Only images captured by City officials or procured from a stock image
website (either paid or free) can be used.
Article Contributors:
Newsletter articles will be primarily written by the City’s communications staff person(s). Given
the nature of the topic, other subject matter experts may be asked to write articles or short
informative blubs. These contributors may include:
• City Admin staff (City Admin, City Clerk, Deputy City Clerk)
• Department Directors
• General staff
• Committee and Commission members
• Ramsey County
• Other partnering agencies or organizations
Articles Final Approval:
With the exception of City Council members, written articles will be sent for review to the
person(s) who requested the article for inclusion in the newsletter. For example, if an article
about the parks is requested, then the Public Works Director will have a chance to review the
article and provide any edits and feedback. They may also include other individuals in the review
process who are vested in the topic (i.e., Recreation Supervisor, Assistant Public Works Director,
etc.).
Newsletter Review Process
Each newsletter edition will go through multiple rounds of reviews and edits. Below is the order
in which each review will occur and who will be included. Note the newsletter is not limited to
this review cycle and may consist of more when necessary.
• Review #1: City Administrator, City Clerk, Senior Communications Coordinator (content
and layout review)
• Review #2: City Administrator, City Clerk, Senior Communications Coordinator (final
draft review)
• Review #3: Customer Service Specialist (proofreading)
• Review #4: City Councilmembers (proofreading)
• Review #5: City Clerk, Senior Communications Coordinator
• Review #6: City Administrator
Note – after the newsletter is sent to the printer there is another 1-2 reviews that occur.

Post Review Approval
After all reviews have been completed, the final step is to approve the newsletter to send to the
printer. The City Administrator has final approval of the newsletter. Once the City
Administrator approves the final draft of the newsletter, the Senior Communications Coordinator
will send that draft to the printing company.

DATE: February 10, 2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Jessica Jagoe, Interim City Administrator
SUBJECT: 2025-2027 Collective Bargaining Agreement Amendment – IUOE 49
Budgeted Amount: Estimated Amount: Funding Source:
$252,489 N/A N/A
Council Should Consider
Motions to approve, table, or deny the following:
• 2025-2027 Collective Bargaining Agreement Amendment with the International
Union of Operating Engineers Local 49.
Background
Representatives of City Staff and the International Union of Operating Engineers (IUOE) Local
49 have reached a tentative agreement pending Council approval of amendments to the 2025-
2027 Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA). On December 16th, 2024, the City Council
approved the three-year agreement with the modification to pull the Memorandum of
Understandings for the Parks Lead and the Utilities Lead positions as well as any other
associated language. Direction was given to staff to bring the discussion regarding the newly
created positions to the Personnel Committee for further discussion of the proposed pay scale.
The Personnel Committee met and has brought forth a recommendation on a pay scale for the
PW Lead positions. The recommended pay scale for the Lead positions has a starting pay rate
that overlaps with the top step of the Maintenance position. The proposed amendments for
Council to consider is keeping all of the existing language the same, with the exception of the
following changes:
Wages
The proposed pay table includes a three-percent COLA in subsequent years 2026 and 2027
CONSENT ITEM – 8D
MEMORANDUM
Page 2 of 2
consistent with the current union agreement for the Maintenance position. The following is the
proposed pay rates for the Lead Worker positions:
Lead Worker
A Memorandum of Understanding has been included for the Lead Worker - Parks and Lead
Worker – Utilities positions which will start in 2025.
Central Pension Fund
The Union members have requested to increase their hourly contribution amount from $2.40 to
$3.00. Minnesota Statute§ 356.24, Subd. 1(10) expressly authorizes the Employer to contribute
public funds to the Central Pension Fund as a supplemental pension plan for the employees of a
governmental subdivision who are covered by a collective bargaining agreement that
provides for such coverage. The MOU within the CBA specifies that the employee wage is
reduced by the contribution rate. This change has no budget impacts since it is the
employee elected amount that is funding the pension plan.
The IUOE Local 49 Business Representative has indicated acceptance of the tentative agreement
with the proposed amendments. Staff has provided a draft redlined 2025-27 CBA with the
changes as reflected above in Attachment A.
Budget Impact
The budget impact for the addition of these positions was factored into the 2025 budget, with
Salaries and Benefits totaling $252,489. Based on the negotiated terms, this will result in
savings and can be absorbed within the 2025 budget, with approximately half hitting the General
Fund.

The City of Arden Hills agrees to participate in the Central Pension Fund of the International Union

worked, vacation, holiday and sick time) except for overtime hours worked. The
Employer shall remit this contribution directly to the Central Pension Fund at P.O. Box
418433 Boston, MA 02241-8433.
5. A contribution of $2.403.00 per straight time hours compensated prevents annual
Central Pension Fund contributions on behalf of eligible Employees from exceeding

Minnesota Statute,
§356.24, Subd. 1(10) as amended.

amount of the Employer Contribution, which is currently the CPF contribution rate of

wage by the Central Pension Fund contribution rate.
7. For purposes of calculating overtime compensation, the Employer shall first restore
the amount of the Employer Contribution $2.403.00 then apply the applicable 1.5
wage multiplier required under the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) and the
Collective Bargaining Agreement, then pay the resulting amount for overtime
worked.
8. The Parties agree that the Public Employees Retirement Association (PERA) interprets
Employer contributions to the Central Pension Fund as being included in determining
"salary" for the purposes of the public pension.
9. The parties agree to abide by the terms and conditions of the Restated Agreement and
Declaration of Trust and the Plan of Benefits of the Central Pension Fund.
10. Effective January 1, 2022, the contribution rate equals $2.403.00 per straight time hour
compensated.
11. Members, by majority vote, may change the contribution rate at any time during the
life of the Collective Bargaining Agreement. The Union and Employer will work
together to implement member approved changes as soon as is practicable.

shall be requested to issue a decision within thirty (30) calendar days after the close of the record
unless the parties mutually agree to an extension.

AGREEMENT, each had the unlimited right and opportunity to make demands and proposals
with respect to any term or condition of employment not removed by law from bargaining. All
agreements and understandings arrived at by the parties are set forth in writing in this
AGREEMENT for the stipulated duration of this AGREEMENT. The EMPLOYER and the
UNION each voluntarily and unqualifiedly waives the right to meet and negotiate regarding any
and all terms and conditions of employment referred to or covered in this AGREEMENT, or
with respect to any term or condition of employment not specifically referred to or covered by
this AGREEMENT, even though such terms or conditions may not have been within the

executed.
ARTICLE XXX - CENTRAL PENSION FUND
The City of Arden Hills agrees to participate in the Central Pension Fund of the International Union
of Operating Engineers and Participating Employers ("Central Pension Fund") in accordance with the
terms of the Restated Agreement and Declaration Trust of the Central Pension, the Plan of Benefits,
and this Memorandum of Understanding.
1. Minnesota Statute§ 356.24, Subd. 1(10) expressly authorizes the Employer to contribute public
funds to the Central Pension Fund as a supplemental pension plan for the employees of a
governmental subdivision who are covered by a collective bargaining agreement that
provides for such coverage.
2. Sections 4.1 of the Restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust of the Central Pension
Fund and 13.01 of the Plan of Benefits only permits Employer Contributions to the Fund.
3. The Parties agree that the agreed upon Employer contribution amount that would
otherwise be paid in salary or wages will be contributed instead to the CPF as a pre-tax
Employer contribution. Contributions from the Employer will not be funded from any
other source unless agreed upon by the parties.
4. The hourly contribution rate will be applied to every hour compensated (i.e. hours
worked, vacation, holiday and sick time) except for overtime hours worked. The
Employer shall remit this contribution directly to the Central Pension Fund at P.O. Box
418433 Boston, MA 02241-8433.
5. A contribution of $3.00 per straight time hours compensated prevents annual Central
Pension Fund contributions on behalf of eligible Employees from exceeding $10,000.00 in
a year and therefore complies with the limitations set forth under Minnesota Statute,
§356.24, Subd. 1(10) as amended.

DATE: February 10, 2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Jessica Jagoe, Interim City Administrator
SUBJECT: Authorization to Recruit for the Parks Lead and the Utilities Lead positions
Budgeted Amount: Actual Amount: Funding Source:
$252,489 Within Budget Various Funds
(Union Agreement)
Council Should Consider
Motions to approve, table, or deny the following:
• Recruit for the Parks Lead and the Utilities Lead positions.
Background
As part of the 2025 budget discussions, the City Council approved Public Works staffing changes
which included the hiring of Lead positions within the Department. These department organizational
changes were originally presented and discussed with the City Council at the August 19, 2024 work
session.
Primary duties of the Parks Lead and Utilities Lead:
• Lead the day-to-day activities
• Plan work within their division from week-to-week
• Implement division tasks outlined in the Public Works Maintenance Plan
• Quality control
• Assists in the preparation of the Public Works Maintenance Plan
The Lead positions will allow for more detailed maintenance/repair information to be prepared for
each division to put Public Works in a “proactive” maintenance state and allows them to get away
from being “reactive”. All Maintenance Workers and both Leads are still required to be cross-trained
and supplement labor needs in all divisions. The Memorandum of Understanding and pay scale for
the Lead positions were approved as part of the 2025-2027 Collective Bargaining Agreement
Amendment – IUOE 49 under agenda item 8D.
As previously mentioned, these Lead positions will not add to the current staffing numbers within the
Public Works Department. Rather these positions will be internally posted for recruitment to the
Page 2 of 2
current Public Works Maintenance employees and essentially transition two Maintenance Worker
positions to two Lead Maintenance Workers.
Anticipated process:
-Council approves authorization to begin the internal recruitment process
-Staff posts for the positions internally
-Staff reviews applications and selects interview candidates and selects a finalist
-Staff will bring forward a finalist for official Council approval
Councilmembers have previously expressed an interest in being part of the interview panel for certain
positions at City Hall; currently no Councilmembers are slated to be on the interview panel for this
position. Should Council want to designate Councilmembers to attend, they should do so with this
authorization (it would need to be pulled from consent and approved).
Budget Impact
The Lead positions were included in the 2025 Adopted Budget, with Salary and Benefits totaling
$252,489 for the two positions, which was approximated to start on January 1st, 2025. Based on the
pay scale for the Lead positions in the amended union contract, the actual costs will result in savings
for 2025 anticipated salaries.

TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
FROM: Jessica Jagoe, Interim City Administrator
SUBJECT: Lake Johanna Fire Department Station Funding
Budgeted Amount: Actual Amount: Funding Source:
N/A N/A Electric Franchise Fees
within Public Safety Capital Fund
Council Should Consider
Motion to approve, table, or deny the following:
• Resolution 2025-011 relating to the Lake Johanna Fire Department Station new
headquarters station support of project construction and associated funding.
• Resolution 2025-021 relating to the Minnesota Department of Public Safety Grant
Funding Assistance for the Lake Johanna Fire Department project matching funds.
Background
For the past few years, the Lake Johanna Fire Department (LJFD) has been in discussions with
its three cities, Arden Hills, North Oaks, and Shoreview, on a new fire station. The department
and the cities acquired the land at 3535 Pine Tree Drive and completed the design of the station.
The department and cities also worked cooperatively to receive $6.37 million in State funding
for the station construction. This grant shall be used to construct, furnish, and equip a facility on
land owned by the Lake Johanna Fire Department Headquarters Board to provide emergency fire
and medical services.
Early estimates of the station (hard costs for construction) in 2018 put the cost around $18
million. Those cost estimates were updated in 2024 and the total project was estimated to be
between $20 million and $25 million in total. On January 30th, the LJFD held their bid opening
and the low bidder was BCI Construction. The following is a summary of the anticipated
headquarters project costs:
Page 2 of 3
General Construction (hard costs) $13,619,069
Soft Costs (furnish and equip facility) $2,762,100
Construction Contingency 10% $1,348,069
Total: $17,729,238*
*Final project cost is yet to be determined and above estimates are not inclusive of the City of
Arden Hills Permit Fees, project financial escrows/surety, and property acquisition
reimbursables to the LJFD.
Currently, Arden Hills’ share of expenses to the LJFD are 24.2 percent based on the 2025 Cost
Share formula; the City’s share of the project would be the total, less State funding, and we
would be responsible for 24.2 percent of the costs. Based on the summary of estimated project
costs, the cities would be responsible for approx. $11.36 million and the Arden Hills share would
be approx. $2.75 million. The Architect for the LJFD has indicated the construction schedule
will be 12 to 14 months for project completion after the issuance of permits. Additionally, he’s
stated that construction payments will be requested by the contractor on a bell curve method
meaning the largest draw of payment will be at that midpoint of construction. There will be
project costs incurred in 2026 that will be calculated for each cities proportional amount based
on the cost share percentages at the time of invoicing for construction using the formula as
defined in the JPA as 25% population, 25% households, 40% fire calls, and 10% assessed value.
The cost share percentage will not fluctuate for the duration of financing terms of each respective
city whatever that period may be. Below is a five year history of cost share percentages:
During the May 13, 2024 Work Session, Council’s consensus was in favor of implementing
electric franchise fees, to be directed towards the LJFD new station. On October 28, 2024, the
City Council approved the ordinance for the implementation of the electric franchise fee. Ehler’s
provided preliminary debt service schedules, to align with the construction of the new facility,
with debt service payments expected to occur in February 2026. Under a separate agenda item
this evening, the City Council will be asked to consider the call for sale of bonds resolution for
the City’s General Obligation Bond Schedule. It was agreed that each city will individually pay
for their cost share. Estimated bonding schedule figures are referenced higher due to the timing
and refinement of project costs that is still underway. The City would ultimately bond for only
those funds necessary to cover our cost share proportion.
Under this memo, the Council is being asked to consider two resolutions. The first resolution
(Attachment A) relating to the Lake Johanna Fire Department Station new headquarters station is
the City’s support for advancement of project construction and associated funding that will be
given to the Lake Johanna Fire Department Headquarters Board to authorize and proceed with
execution of contracts, other agreements (i.e. lease, land transfer), and issuance of payments as
outlined in the Joint Powers Agreement.
Page 3 of 3
The second resolution (Attachment B) relates to the Minnesota Department of Public Safety
Grant Funding Assistance for the Lake Johanna Fire Department project to show evidence of
matching funds. This is needed to unlock the State money and each City will need to submit to
the Minnesota Department of Public Safety a resolution of matching funds to demonstrate full
funding of the project. The Shoreview and North Oaks City Councils will be asked to approve
this same template resolution provided by the State prior to receipt of grant dollars.
Budget Impact
The City had been slowly stepping up its increases to its Public Safety Capital Fund to support
the upcoming construction of the station and avoid large levy spikes. On December 9, 2024, the
City Council adopted the 2025-2029 CIP budget which included franchise fee assumptions of
$435,000 annually to offset debt service for the new fire station.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: February 10, 2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
Jessica Jagoe, Interim City Administrator
FROM: David Swearingen, P.E. Public Works Director / City Engineer
SUBJECT: South Tower Improvement Project – Accept Bid and Award Contract
Budgeted Amount: Actual Amount: Funding Source:
$250,000 $444,483 Water Utility Fund
($194,483 over Budget)
Council Should Consider
Motions to approve, table, or deny the following:
• Adopting Resolution 2025-012 Accepting Bid and Awarding the Construction
Contract with BRZ Coatings, Inc. for the South Tower Improvements Project in the
amount of $347,000.
• Badger State Inspection, LLC Proposal for Providing Inspection Services for the
South Tower Improvements Project in the amount of $30,300.
Background/Discussion
On August 28, 2023, the City Council approved Professional Services Agreement with TKDA
for the South Tower Improvements project. On December 18, 2023, the City Council discussed
the South Tower Improvements related to repairs and security elements. During that meeting
staff received direction to pursue the Urban Area Security Initiative (UASI) grant program in
2024 but ultimately the City was unsuccessful at receiving the grant.
City staff has separated the proposed security improvements from this project in order to keep
the repair work on schedule.
Page 2 of 2
Pursuant to Resolution 2024-061 adopted by City Council on December 9, 2024, City staff
initiated bid advertisement for the South Tower Improvement Project. A total of three bids were
received on January 7, 2025, and opened publicly at City Hall:
BRZ Coatings, Inc $347,000.00
TMI Coatings, Inc. $441,000.00
Classic Protective Coatings, Inc. $588,130.00
TKDA has provided a recommendation letter along with the bid tab as Attachment A. Resolution
2025-012 will accept the bids and award the construction contract with BRZ Coatings, Inc. in the
amount of $347,000.
Due to specialty inspection services needed with tower rehabilitation projects, City staff
requested a proposal from Badger State Inspections, LLC (BSI) to provide project management
and inspection services during the partial reconditioning. BSI has provided the city services in
the past related to the two towers owned and maintained by the City. BSI provides reliable
quality services and is familiar with specifics related to each tower. City staff recommends
approving the proposal as seen in Attachment C in the amount of $30,300.
Budget Impact
As-bid project costs for tower repairs:
Repair costs 347,000$
Engineering costs 67,183$
Inspection Services 30,300$
Total 444,483$
The Project total is $194,483 over budget. After reviewing the bids, leading factors to consider is
this project is behind schedule by a year after pursuing grant funds for the security
improvements, the type of project is not very competitive with few contractors that specialize in
this specific work, and labor rates have increased. Being that these repairs are for the South
Water Tower, they are considered critical and must be completed. For future tower repair
projects, Staff will be looking into alternative ways to inspect the structures to provide more
accurate estimates and allow for improved budgeting. Staff recommends adopting Resolution
2025-012 to award the construction contract.

Re: South Water Tower Improvements Project Bid Results
TKDA Project No. 17993.001
Dear Mr. Swearingen:
Bids for the South Water Tower Improvements project were received on January 7, 2025, from three
bidders; the results are summarized below.
Contractor Amount
BRZ Coatings Inc $347,000.00
TMI Coatings Inc $441,000.00
Classic Protective Coatings Inc $588,130.00
The Engineer’s Estimate was $274,000.00 and was based on 2024 painting prices. This project was
delayed a year from the original schedule to try and obtain grant funds for some security improvements
to the South Water Tower site; but those improvements were not awarded by the FY2024 Urban Area
Security Initiative (UASI). As a result, the coating repairs that were bid for this project were split out
based on the recommendations in the Water Tower inspection report. The itemized numbers are shown
on the attached bid tab. Both the interior wet and interior dry spot repair coatings were above the
estimate.
After review of the bids, it was determined that BRZ Coatings Inc is the lowest responsible bidder. They
did list a couple of recent painting projects they completed in Minnesota in 2024, and the references
provided gave positive feedback on their work.
If funds are available, we recommend you award the contract to the lowest responsible bidder, BRZ
Coatings Inc, for their bid of $347,000.00. Doing the recommended spot repairs now will prolong the life
of the coating system before a complete sandblast and repaint are necessary at a higher cost in the
future.
Please do not hesitate to call me at 612-282-9119 if you have questions or require additional
information.
Sincerely,
Matthew R. Ellingson, P.E.

RE: Proposal for Providing Inspection Services during the Spot Repair
Reconditioning of the 1,000,000 Gallon South Water Tower Reconditioning Project
Located in the City of Arden Hills, MN.
Dear Mr. Swearingen:
BSI is pleased to provide the City of Arden Hills with a proposal to provide engineering,
project management, and inspection services during the partial reconditioning of the above-
referenced South Tower reconditioning project. The scope of services presented is based
on our review of the engineer’s specifications and discussions with Arden Hills staff and our
prior work experience.
Badger Inspection appreciates this opportunity to work with the City of Arden Hills and will
work hard to provide a high-quality product that is completed on time and within budget.
Please contact me if you have any questions regarding our proposal or need further
information. You can reach me at (715) 533 -8686.
Sincerely,
Badger State Inspection, LLC
Kelly C. Mulhern
Owner
PROJECT UNDERSTANDING
It is our understanding that the South Water Tower is located at 1230 Red Fox Road.
The City of Arden Hills requests the following of the consultant:
• Provide construction management including attendance at meetings . (One meeting per week)
• Perform the construction inspection services for the work, including inspection and contract/project
management.
• Provide a one-year warranty inspection.
PROJECT APPROACH
BSI will work with the engineer’s specifications to provide comprehensive construction observation and project
management for the duration of the project.
Today’s protective coating systems (zinc, epoxy, and polyurethane) are designed to last 15 -20 years with only
minor maintenance. Utilizing a properly prepared project specification and the use of full-time inspection will
allow the coating systems to extend the life of the coating up to an additional 20-25 years of service life.
BSI will provide AWS Certified Welding inspection during structural repairs and NACE Coating Inspectors
during coating reconditioning to make certain that the work performed by the contractor is in conformance with
the specifications. The full-time inspection during the partial reconditioning along with a one-year warranty will
maximize coating life expectancy. BSI’s inspectors will monitor workmanship during all phases of work and
approve the contractor’s work. With BSI’s process, maintenance costs will be reduced by reducing the
number of reconditioning cycles over the life of the tank.
Our project administration and inspection services will work to provide a buffer between the project
specifications and the real-world challenges that can negatively impact project performance. To initiate the
project correctly, BSI project management will work with the engineer to assure that the bidders are qualified,
proposals are evaluated for conformance to contract documents, and that the low-qualified bidder(s) is
recommended.
Our work plan allows for meetings and coordination with the City of Arden Hills during all phases to ensure that
the project meets the City of Arden Hills' needs.
In summary, the approach outlined above will provide the following value to the City of Arden Hills:
• A project that is completed on time, on budget, and with quality workmanship.
• A reduction in the occurrence of contractor requests for change orders during spot repair
reconditioning.
• A resulting tower coating that will have the opportunity to realize its intended service life and reduce
maintenance costs.
• A project that meets the expectations of the City of Arden Hills and agrees with Arden Hills
procedures.

Background/Discussion
The 2025-20029 Capital Improvement Program identifies improvements at Arden Oaks Park and
Freeway Park in the year 2025. City staff and the consulting team, with guidance from the City
Council, have prepared construction plans for the 2025 Park Improvement Project.
This project began in early 2024 with a considerable amount of community engagement,
planning, and design. Through feedback from the community and direction from the City
Council, the proposed project includes removals of the existing playgrounds, hardcourt rehab,
shaded structure at Arden Oaks Park, installation of accessible walkway at Freeway Park and a
bid alternate item of a new ADA trail connection at Arden Oaks Park.
After preliminary estimates were made for the project and direction from the City Council, staff
removed items from the plan that could be completed in-house as a cost savings measure (many
of the items included removals of smaller amenities, and installation of surface mount
Page 2 of 2
amenities). It should be noted that the items that were removed and completed by staff will have
operational costs including staff time and equipment usage.
Adoption of Resolution 2025-013 will approve the plans and specification and order bid
advertisement for the 2025 Park Improvement Project. Bids will be received by March 5, 2025,
and presented to the City Council either at the March 10th or April 14th regular Council meeting,
for consideration of awarding a construction contract with an appropriate resolution. This
schedule will allow for construction and completion of the project over the 2025 construction
season. Staff recommends adoption of Resolution 2025-013 as provided in Attachment A.
A copy of the project plan set is provided in Attachment B and an updated Engineers Estimate in
Attachment C. The technical specifications project manual consists of 48 pages. A full copy of
the project manual is on file and available upon request to the City Clerk.
Bid Alternate
Included in the plans is a bid alternate item for an ADA trail connection from Arden Oaks Drive
to the playground containers. With the new playground being an all-inclusive and ADA
accessible playground, an ADA compliant trail should also be installed. The trail does not need
to be installed with the project and could be installed next year, but the thought was to include it
as an alternative item and if the cost was economical this year to complete the trail. Otherwise,
this could be completed as a project in 2026, and the city would have a good estimation of
project costs. Bid alternate is not included in the estimated costs.

PSA – Public Engagement and Project Scope $12,419.00

MEMORANDUM
DATE: February 10, 2025
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
Jessica Jagoe, Interim City Administrator
FROM: David Swearingen, P.E. Public Works Director / City Engineer
SUBJECT: Lift Station 5 Forcemain Rehabilitation Project – Approve Plans & Specifications
and Order Advertisement for Bids
Budgeted Amount: Actual Amount: Funding Source:
$910,000 (Forcemain) *$1,103,846 Sanitary Sewer Utility Fund
$130,000 (Pumps and Valves) (*Engineer’s estimate)
Council Should Consider
Motions to approve, table, or deny the following:
• Adopting Resolution 2025-014 Approving Plans and Specifications and Ordering
Advertisement for Bids for the Lift Station 5 Forcemain Rehabilitation Project.
Background/Discussion
The Public Works Department maintains a program to refurbish and update sanitary sewer lift
stations on a cycle for reliability, technology and risk management. Public Works tracks data and
conducts testing and inspections to each of the 14 total wastewater lift stations around the City to
assist in determining future maintenance and rehabilitation needs.
Lift Station 5 has indicated a need to replace the existing forcemain, pumps and check valves.
This project is proposed for 2025 construction within the City’s Capital Improvement Plan (CIP).
The existing forcemain is 3250-feet in length, is made of cast iron pipe (CIP) and was installed in
1960. The route of the existing forcemain is within an easement that is located within residential
properties, it extends under residential streets and borders the neighboring City of New Brighton.
Replacement of the existing forcemain will be by directional drilling new 10-inch HDPE, 2400-ft
along the walking trail (Elmer Anderson Trail) from County Rd E to Stowe Ave.
On August 14, 2023, City Council held approved Professional Service Agreement with Bolton &
Menk, Inc. to administer the Lift Station 5 Forcemain Rehabilitation Project through design and
plan production, along with construction administration.
Page 2 of 2
The project plans and specifications are prepared, and the project is ready for solicitation of
construction bids. Adoption of Resolution 2025-014 will approve the plans and specification and
order advertisement for bids for the Lift Station 5 Forcemain Rehabilitation Project. Bids would
be received on February 27, 2025 and presented to the City Council on March 10, 2025 with an
appropriate resolution to award the construction contact if recommended.
Staff recommends adoption of Resolution 2025-014 as provided in Attachment A.
The final plan set and specifications consists of 282 pages. Full copies of these documents are
on file and available upon request to the City Clerk. Selected plan sheets illustrating the project
improvements are provided in Attachment B.
Budget Impact
The estimated total project cost and funding sources based on the final plans and specifications
are summarized below.
Total Estimated Expenses
Construction: $ 886,562
Engineering Design: $ 79,636
Construction Mgmt: $ 41,448
Materials Testing: $ 7,500
Construction Contingency: $ 88,700
TOTAL ESTIMATE: $ 1,103,846
The proposed project is budgeted for a total cost of $1,040,000 which includes engineering and
construction administration services. The actual total project cost will be known after bids are
received. These costs will be covered by the sanitary sewer utility fund.
The City is in the process of pursuing external funding through the next MN bonding bill with a
requested amount of $562,500.

Jessica Jagoe, Interim City Administrator
FROM: David Swearingen, P.E. Public Works Director / City Engineer
SUBJECT: 2025 Capital Equipment Replacement – Bobcat Toolcat Replacement
Budgeted Amount: Actual Amount: Funding Source:
$55,000 (net) $45,572.50 (net)
(After trade credit)
Equipment Replacement
Fund
Council Should Consider
Motions to approve, table, or deny the following:
• Authorization to purchase new Bobcat Toolcat with cab, front bucket, and dump
body.
Background/Discussion
At the November 12th, 2024 Work Session, Council discussed the 2025 Proposed Budget and CIP
which included the Public Works Equipment Purchases.
The 2025-2029 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) includes replacement of Unit 461, 2020 Bobcat
Toolcat. Attachment A is the CIP detail sheet which includes the latest equipment hours,
preventative maintenance, and repair costs. Staff recommends replacement of the Toolcat on the
current state contract pricing to avoid increased costs in 2025 of 3%. It should also be noted this
piece of equipment is used as a primary trails and sidewalk maintenance equipment in the winter
and used multiple days a week across all departments in the summer months. That being said, to
reduce down time and maximize resale return, Staff recommend that the toolcat be replaced on a
5-year cycle.

Public Works staff received the quote supplied by Tri State Bobcat. The quote includes state
contract pricing and a lead time of 90 days for delivery. The Equipment CIP detail sheet
(Attachment A) outlines the current hours, maintenance, and repair costs over the last three
years.
Budget Impact
The 2025 Equipment CIP has a budgeted total replacement of a Bobcat Toolcat as $80,000 with
a trade in credit of $25,0 00, for a total net budget of $55,000.
Tri State Bobcat Quote (includes $33,000 trade in credit) - $45,572.50
Net Total - $45,572.50
The net total cost indicates the Toolcat replacement is $9,427.50 under budget.

PW currently owns 2 Toolcat's and the primary purpose is snow removal along sidewalks and park trails. During the winter months, the machines
are cleaned but salt and the heavy load out on the machine equates to costly repairs and down time. The machine is also used in the summer
months on a weekly basis.
Trade in value of a Toolcat at 800 hours of use or less is much more desirable in the used equipment market. Asset 461 current trade in value is
$33,000. This is a return of nearly 50% what a new unit costs on state contract.
Equipment repair costs from 2020-2024 total - $6,934

Council Should Consider
Motions to approve, table, or deny the following:
• Authorization to order a 2026 Mack cab/chassis for delivery in 2026.
• Authorizing the tanker buildout to begin in 2026 with a final completion delivery in
2027.
Background/Discussion
At the November 12th, 2024 Special Work Session, Council discussed the 2025 Proposed Budget
and CIP which included the Public Works Equipment Purchases.
The 2026 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) includes replacement of Unit 431, 2009 Sterling tanker
truck. Attachment A is the CIP detail sheet which includes the latest vehicle mileage and repair
costs. Due to a 12 to 16-month lead time from Mack and a planned 3% increase to 2026 pricing,
Staff recommends ordering the truck in 2025 for 2026 delivery/invoicing of the cab and chassis.
A final buildout is recommended to take place in 2026 with delivery/invoicing in 2027.
Page 2 of 2
Public Works staff received quotes to build a new tanker truck to replace Unit 431. The cab and
chassis price are $138,271.20 per the MN State Contract pricing (Attachment B). Staff was
informed of an approximate lead time from Nuss Truck and Equipment, which is 12 to 16-
months for cab and chassis delivery and a 10 to 12-month window for the tanker upfitting.
Staff recommends replacement of Unit 431, 2009 Sterling tanker truck to ensure timely delivery
by spring of 2027, also to get ahead of potential high-cost repairs, utilize 2025 contract pricing,
and anticipate an approximate auction value of $25,000.
Preventative maintenance costs from 2022 to current total-$1,303 and repair costs from 2022 to
current total $21,609. Typically, the frequency of repairs will increase with the age of the
equipment. An additional consideration is parts availability. The Sterling truck line was
discontinued in 2010. Although Sterling hasn’t been produced for quite some time, parts became
difficult to source by 2021.
The replacement 2026 Mack tanker is equipped with a 2000-gallon water tank, front turret
nozzle, front and rear duckbill nozzles, a heated rear cabinet with accessory hose real and water
pump. This truck is assigned to primarily to parks and is also used in streets, and sanitary sewer.
Specific tasks include- watering trees/gardens, ice rink flooding, street sweeping, sanitary sewer
cleaning operations, and mobile pressure washer tasks.

replacement of Unit 431 between 2026 and 2027.
After receiving actual quotes and researching current auction prices, the purchase of the new
2026 Mack Cab and Chassis Tanker Truck equipped with water tanker upfitting is $264,827.40
and the auction estimate is $25,000, which equates to a net cost of $239,827.40. This is
$38,807.60 under budget.

Background/Discussion
At the November 12th, 2024 Work Session, Council discussed the 2025 Proposed Budget and CIP
which included the Public Works Equipment Purchases.
The 2025 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) includes replacement of Unit 473 and 474, 2021 Toro
Zero Turn Mowers. Attachment A is the CIP detail sheet which includes the latest equipment hours
and repair costs. Staff recommends ordering the two mowers on the current state contract pricing
to avoid increased costs in 2025 of 5%.
Public Works staff received the quote supplied by MTI Distributing. The quote includes state
contract pricing and a lead time of 90 to 120 days for delivery. The Equipment CIP detail sheet
(Attachment A) outlines the current hours, maintenance, and repair costs over the last three years
while the machines were under factory warranty. Staff recommends continuing the three-year
replacement cycle to take advantage of high resale value, factory warranty coverage, and
minimized downtime/ efficiency during the summer mowing season.
Page 2 of 2

The 2025 Equipment CIP has a budgeted total replacement of 2 Zero Turn Mowers as $48,000
with a trade in credit of $15,000, for a total net budget of $33,000.
MTI Distributing quote (Attachment B) - $48,382.94
Auction estimate for Units 473 and 474 - $8,500 (each)
Net Total - $31,382.94
The net total cost indicates the mower replacement is $1,617.06 under budget.

The trade in value of the Toro "Z" mowers is maximized if they are traded in with warranty still remaining. Due to the amount of time these pieces
of equipment are used during the summer months, they are traded in on a three-year cycle.
Major repair costs are under factory warranty.
Note: The new models will have a 5-year / 1,500 hour warranty.

Council Should Consider
Motions to approve, table, or deny the following:
• Approval of the employee contract for Jessica Jagoe as City Administrator
Background/Discussion
In August of 2024, City Administrator Dave Perrault terminated his employment with the City and
with his departure the City Council appointed Community Development Director Jagoe to the
position of Interim City Administrator. The appointment of Interim City Administrator was to be for
a period of no less than through the end of 2024, affording the City Council time to assess the needs
of the City as well as giving Director Jagoe time to gain experience in performing the duties of the
City Administrator, which she has performed in tandem with her duties as Community Development
Director. Both parties agreed to reassess in order to determine if the Council had a desire to
potentially recruit from outside or would the Council wish to consider Director Jagoe for the
permanent City Administrator position.
The Personnel Committee identified and recommended the appointment of Interim City
Administrator Jessica Jagoe for the position of City Administrator based on her performance since
August. The Personnel Committee received the proposed contract (Attachment A) and staff is now
bringing this forward to the full City Council for consideration of approval.

SUBJECT: Planning Case #24-020 – Public Hearing Required
Applicant: Rick Ferraro, Spectrum Sign Systems, Inc.
Property Location: 4200 Round Lake Road
Request: Planned Unit Development Amendment and Site Plan Review
Budgeted Amount: Actual Amount: Funding Source:
N/A N/A N/A
Council Should Consider
Motion to approve, table, or deny the following
• Adoption of Resolution 2025-016 for Planning Case 24-020 to allow a Planned Unit
Development Amendment and Site Plan Review to amend the Final Planned Unit
Development Plan for 4200 Round Lake Road (“PUD Development Agreement”). Rick
Ferraro (“The Applicant”) is requesting flexibility from the required auxiliary sign
standards to increase the amount of sign area permitted by the PUD and allow for flexibility
of commercial text on the sign faces on the property at 4200 Round Lake Road (“Subject
Property”).
Background
1. Overview of Request
Scannell Properties previously submitted a land use application for a Master Planned Unit
Development, Conditional Use Permit, Site Plan Review, and Preliminary/Final Plat to develop
the existing approximately 250,000 square foot office and warehouse building on the property at
4200 Round Lake Road. This application was approved, with conditions, with Resolution 2020-
045 on October 12, 2020. It was stated in the approvals that a separate sign permit would be
required for all proposed signage and that all proposed signage shall meet the requirements of Sign
District 6. Delkor Systems, Inc. previously submitted a land use application for a Planned Unit
Page 2 of 9
Development Amendment to allow flexibility from the City Code on wall signage. This application
was approved, with conditions, with Planning Case 22-014 on August 3, 2022, by the City Council.
The Subject Property is currently owned by Altus Properties, LLC., and the building is currently
occupied by Delkor Systems, Inc. and Colder Products Company (CPC).
The PUD Development Agreement for Gateway Interstate (“PUD Development Agreement”) was
approved on April 16, 2021. The Applicant is now asking to amend the PUD agreement to allow
for an increase in the amount of sign area permitted and allow for flexibility of commercial text
on the sign faces. The Applicant has provided a description in the submitted narrative:
Propose a sign adjustment for three (3) Auxiliary directional signs to be installed on the
property along Gateway Boulevard.
We are requesting to 1) increase the sign area from 4.5 to 6 square feet and 2) flexibility
to allow commercial text on each sign, to effectively direct traffic and maintain safety.
Rendering of Proposed Signs – Northwest – Signs 4A and 4B
Rendering of Proposed Sign – Southeast – Sign 4C
Page 3 of 9
A Site Plan Review is required by the City Code for any Planned Unit Development Amendment,
but no changes aside from the signs are proposed.
This commercial corridor is accessible by way of Gateway Boulevard. This area is used by a
number of small and large businesses for a variety of manufacturing, distribution, warehousing,
and office uses.
2. History of the Subject Property
The Subject Property was subdivided into two parcels, with the larger parcel developed in 2021 as
a warehouse and wholesaling use, with associated non-warehouse uses, for an approximately
250,000 square foot principal structure. A site plan review was required for this development as
the property had previously been vacant since 2006, when three lots were consolidated into one
and the existing building was demolished. An additional site plan review was required in
November 2021, approved as Resolution 2021-066, to expand the parking area on site.
A Planned Unit Development Amendment for signage for the site was approved in August 2022,
permitting an additional wall sign on the southwest elevation.
Subject Property – Proposed Auxiliary Signs
Approvals
1. Planned Unit Development Amendment
Page 4 of 9
The site currently has a PUD that was approved with Resolution 2020-045. This PUD allowed for
flexibility on the site and approved the warehouse uses. The flexibility approved with the PUD
includes:
• Flexibility from district provisions that require warehousing and wholesaling uses shall not
exceed 75% of the building and office uses cannot occupy less than 25% of a project’s total
floor area.
• Flexibility to allow Lot 2 to be less than the required 5 acres.
• Flexibility from the required street frontage of at least 100 feet and lot depth of at least 130
feet.
• Flexibility from the required parking setback of 50 feet in the GB district.
• Flexibility from the maximum building height of 35 feet in the GB district.
• Flexibility for aesthetics to allow a combination of painted pre-cast, glass, architectural
metal panels with concealed fasteners, and thin brick veneer.
• Flexibility from minimum caliper inches to allow off-site tree planting or fee in lieu.
• Flexibility from the requirement for a minimum of 10% of the total landscaped area to be
covered with perennials and/or shrubberies.
• Flexibility to install an additional wall sign on the southwest elevation where one sign was
allowed in Sign District 6.
A Planned Unit Development (PUD) is required for all new development and redevelopment in
the GB District. Under the 2022 PUD Amendment, the Applicant was provided flexibility for
signage standards. The proposal would provide additional flexibility from signage standards. The
Applicant has provided details in the Proposed Sign Plan (Attachment E) which identifies where
flexibility is requested.
2. Site Plan Review
An application for a PUD Amendment requires Site Plan Review. No changes aside from the signs
are proposed.
Plan Evaluation
Overview of Proposal
The Applicant is proposing changes to signage on the Subject Property to add three auxiliary signs.
Existing conditions for the site can be found in Attachment D. The Applicant states that the purpose
of the request is to direct traffic and maintain safety through clear signage for direction on the site,
which will not impact the surrounding area. In addition to the review required for the PUD
Amendment, there are two sections of the City Code that establish standards for signs within the
City Chapter 12, Sign Code and Appendix A, Descriptions of Various Land Use Procedures.
Chapter 12, Sign Code
1. Auxiliary Signs – Flexibility Requested
The original PUD for the Subject Property did not include a request for flexibility on signage. A
condition of the initial approval stated that all proposed signage shall meet the requirements of
Sign District 6. The Subject Property has existing flexibility as part of the previous sign plan from
Page 5 of 9
the requirements for location of wall signs, permitting an additional wall sign on the southwest
elevation.
The Applicant is seeking flexibility for the size of auxiliary signage and to allow commercial text
on the sign faces. Auxiliary signs are defined as (emphasis added):
Auxiliary sign. A sign that provides direction for internal circulation, parking or entry,
restrictions on parking, security warnings, or other similar primarily noncommercial signs
that are directed at people that are entering, exiting, or on a particular property. Auxiliary
signs do not include outdoor advertising signs.
Commercial Message
The city has historically prohibited commercial messages on auxiliary signs. A commercial
message is defined as:
Commercial message sign. Any message which identifies a business or product or promotes
the sale of any product or service.
The inclusion of the business’ names, instead of an identifier such as “Suite 1” and “Suite 2”
creates a primarily commercial sign. The Applicant is proposing two auxiliary signs on the
northwest entrances of the site and an auxiliary sign on the southeast entrance of the site. Under
the proposed signage plan, the Applicants are requesting to have the tenants of the building
business names on the auxiliary sign.
Sign Size
Flexibility is not required for the size of the proposed auxiliary signs, but previously 4.5 square
feet were reviewed. Properties in Sign District 6 are allowed auxiliary signs up to six square feet.
The proposed auxiliary signs are each six square feet and comply with the sign district
requirements.
The Applicant has proposed no other changes and shall follow all other city standards for the
signage on the building. The signage plans are shown in Attachment E.
2. Sign Standard Adjustments – Section 1260.01
The Applicant requests to increase the size of auxiliary signage and flexibility to allow commercial
text on the sign faces. City Code Section 1260.01, Sign Standard Adjustments states:
…adjustments to the requirements and standards for the height, number, type, lighting,
area, and/or location of a sign or signs established by this Chapter may be approved with
a Site Plan Review or a Planned Unit Development process.
In order to approve an adjustment, the City Council will need to make a determination that the
following criteria in the sign code have been satisfied:
Subd. 1 There are site conditions which require a sign adjustment to allow the sign to be
reasonably visible from a street immediately to the site.
Page 6 of 9
The Applicant has stated the sign adjustment is required to identify and orientate
customers, delivery trucks, and emergency vehicles.
Subd. 2 The sign adjustment will allow a sign of exceptional design or a style that will
enhance the area or that is more consistent with the architecture and design of
the site.
The Applicant has stated the proposed auxiliary signage will match previously
approved materials and color of signs and building features.
Subd. 3 The sign adjustment will not result in a sign that is inconsistent with the purpose
of the zoning district in which the property is located or the current land use.
The proposed auxiliary signage appears consistent with current zoning district and
land use.
Chapter 13, Zoning Regulations Review
1. District Provisions (Gateway Business District) – Section 1320
Under the 2040 Comprehensive Plan, this site is guided as Light Industrial & Office (IND) on the
land use plan and is zoned Gateway Business (GB). No changes to any uses or dimensional
standards are proposed.

2. Procedural Requirements for Specific Applications – Section 1355.04
A public hearing for a PUD Amendment request is required before the request can be brought
before the City Council. The applicant or its representative shall be given the opportunity to appear
before the Planning Commission to answer questions or give explanations regarding the proposal.
Upon completion of the public hearing and its study and consideration of the application, the
Planning Commission shall submit its written report, containing its findings, conclusions, and
recommendations as to the application, to the City Council. The Planning Commission conducted
the required public hearing on January 8, 2025.
Appendix A Descriptions of Various Land Use Procedures, Sign Permits
1. Signs Requiring Planning Commission Review and Council Approval.
Number of Signs
Appendix A sets standards for signs and sign permits. Appendix A uses different language for
signs than the sign code does and refers to auxiliary signs as directional signs. Appendix A states
that directional signs have a max of two signs per site and that a permit is required. Appendix A
Page 7 of 9
establishes that if more than two directional signs are proposed for a site that Planning Commission
review and Council approval is required. The Applicant is proposing three (3) signs that appear to
meet required setbacks.

PUD Amendment and Site Plan Review - City of Arden Hills
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
Site Address: 4200 Round Lake Road
Sign Type: On-premise Auxiliary Directional Signs
Request: Sign Standard Adjustment
Spectrum Sign Systems, Inc., on behalf of the property owner, Altus Properties, LLC dba Gateway
Interstate, is submitting a Land Use Application for a PUD Amendment and Site Plan Review
proposing the following sign adjustments for 3 Auxiliary directional signs in the PUD Sign Plan:
1)Increase the sign area from 4.5 to 6 square feet
2)Request flexibility to allow tenant names in the signs' text.
The proposed signage is within code requirements pertaining to size, height and setbacks;
however, commercial text is prohibited on Auxiliary directional signs.
Gateway Interstate is a 22 acre property with a 250-square foot, multi-tenant building fully
occupied with 2 tenants: Delkor and CPC (Colder Products Company). The building has an
unusual, angled shape with front entrances facing I-694 and I-35W.
The only property access includes 4 driveways off Gateway Boulevard along the North side and
rear of the building. Only the third driveway has access to the Dock area.
The existing property signage includes 6 wall signs – 3 per tenant: CPC (North, West and
Southwest elevations) and Delkor (Southwest, South and East elevations). CPC signs on the
North and West walls are the only wall signs visible from Gateway Boulevard.
The proposed directional signs would be fabricated aluminum, with minimal White vinyl arrows
and text, using a uniform, easily readable font.
In summary, the following site conditions would require the requested sign standard adjustment:
1.A large, 22-acre property
2. An unusual, angled building with multiple tenants
3. Multiple driveways (4) on the same street in which only 1 has Dock Area access
4. Limited visibility of all tenants’ wall signage from Gateway boulevard.
Increasing the sign size and adding tenant names to the signs would provide simple, effective
wayfinding and eliminate confusion. It would also help maintain the safety of visitors and truck
drivers by reducing the likelihood of truck drivers choosing driveways with no dock area access.
The proposed sign adjustments would not result in signs that are inconsistent with the purpose of
the Gateway Business (GB) zoning district or the current land use. They also would not
adversely impact public safety or create a hazard to motorists, pedestrians or cyclists or cause
sign clutter for surrounding properties.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: January 8, 2025
TO: Planning Commission Vice Chair and Commissioners
FROM: T.J. Hofer, Consultant Planner
Madison Richard, Consultant Planner
SUBJECT: Planning Case #24-020 – Public Hearing Required
Applicant: Rick Ferraro, Spectrum Sign Systems, Inc.
Property Location: 4200 Round Lake Road
Request: Planned Unit Development Amendment and Site Plan Review
Requested Action
Rick Ferraro (“The Applicant”) is requesting a Planned Unit Development Amendment and Site
Plan Review to amend the Final Planned Unit Development Plan for 4200 Round Lake Road
(“PUD Development Agreement”) to allow for flexibility from the required auxiliary sign
standards for an existing approximately 250,000 square foot commercial building on the property
at 4200 Round Lake Road (“Subject Property”).
Background
1. Overview of Request
Scannell Properties previously submitted a land use application for a Master Planned Unit
Development, Conditional Use Permit, Site Plan Review, and Preliminary/Final Plat to develop
the existing approximately 250,000 square foot office and warehouse building on the property at
4200 Round Lake Road. This application was approved, with conditions, with Resolution 2020-
045 on October 12, 2020. It was stated in the approvals that a separate sign permit would be
required for all proposed signage and that all proposed signage shall meet the requirements of Sign

A Site Plan Review is required by the City Code for any Planned Unit Development Amendment,
but no changes aside from the signs are proposed.
This commercial corridor is accessible by way of Gateway Boulevard. This area is used by a
number of small and large businesses for a variety of manufacturing, distribution, warehousing,
and office uses.
2. History of the Subject Property
The Subject Property was subdivided into two parcels, with the larger parcel developed in 2021 as
a warehouse and wholesaling use, with associated non-warehouse uses, for an approximately
250,000 square foot principal structure. A site plan review was required for this development as
the property had previously been vacant since 2006, when three lots were consolidated into one
and the existing building was demolished. An additional site plan review was required in
November 2021, approved as Resolution 2021-066, to expand the parking area on site.
A Planned Unit Development Amendment for signage for the site was approved in August 2022,
permitting an additional wall sign on the southwest elevation.

Approvals
1. Planned Unit Development Amendment
Page 4 of 9
The site currently has a PUD that was approved with Resolution 2020-045. This PUD allowed for
flexibility on the site and approved the warehouse uses. The flexibility approved with the PUD
includes:
• Flexibility from district provisions that require warehousing and wholesaling uses shall not
exceed 75% of the building and office uses cannot occupy less than 25% of a project’s total
floor area.
• Flexibility to allow Lot 2 to be less than the required 5 acres.
• Flexibility from the required street frontage of at least 100 feet and lot depth of at least 130
feet.
• Flexibility from the required parking setback of 50 feet in the GB district.
• Flexibility from the maximum building height of 35 feet in the GB district.
• Flexibility for aesthetics to allow a combination of painted pre-cast, glass, architectural
metal panels with concealed fasteners, and thin brick veneer.
• Flexibility from minimum caliper inches to allow off-site tree planting or fee in lieu.
• Flexibility from the requirement for a minimum of 10% of the total landscaped area to be
covered with perennials and/or shrubberies.
• Flexibility to install an additional wall sign on the southwest elevation where one sign was
allowed in Sign District 6.
A Planned Unit Development (PUD) is required for all new development and redevelopment in
the GB District. Under the 2022 PUD Amendment, the Applicant was provided flexibility for
signage standards. The proposal would provide additional flexibility from signage standards. The
Applicant has provided details in the Proposed Sign Plan (Attachment E) which identifies where
flexibility is requested.
2. Site Plan Review
An application for a PUD Amendment requires Site Plan Review. No changes aside from the signs
are proposed.
Plan Evaluation
Overview of Proposal
The Applicant is proposing changes to signage on the Subject Property to add three auxiliary signs.
Existing conditions for the site can be found in Attachment D. The Applicant states that the purpose
of the request is to direct traffic and maintain safety through clear signage for direction on the site,
which will not impact the surrounding area. In addition to the review required for the PUD
Amendment, there are two sections of the City Code that establish standards for signs within the
City Chapter 12, Sign Code and Appendix A, Descriptions of Various Land Use Procedures.
Chapter 12, Sign Code
1. Auxiliary Signs – Flexibility Requested
The original PUD for the Subject Property did not include a request for flexibility on signage. A
condition of the initial approval stated that all proposed signage shall meet the requirements of
Sign District 6. The Subject Property has existing flexibility as part of the previous sign plan from
Page 5 of 9
the requirements for location of wall signs, permitting an additional wall sign on the southwest
elevation.
The Applicant is seeking flexibility for the size of auxiliary signage and to allow commercial text
on the sign faces. Auxiliary signs are defined as (emphasis added):
Auxiliary sign. A sign that provides direction for internal circulation, parking or entry,
restrictions on parking, security warnings, or other similar primarily noncommercial signs
that are directed at people that are entering, exiting, or on a particular property. Auxiliary
signs do not include outdoor advertising signs.
Commercial Message
The city has historically prohibited commercial messages on auxiliary signs. A commercial
message is defined as:
Commercial message sign. Any message which identifies a business or product or promotes
the sale of any product or service.
The inclusion of the business’ names, instead of an identifier such as “Suite 1” and “Suite 2”
creates a primarily commercial sign. The Applicant is proposing two auxiliary signs on the
northwest entrances of the site and an auxiliary sign on the southeast entrance of the site. Under
the proposed signage plan, the Applicants are requesting to have the tenants of the building
business names on the auxiliary sign.
Sign Size
Flexibility is not required for the size of the proposed auxiliary signs, but previously 4.5 square
feet were reviewed. Properties in Sign District 6 are allowed auxiliary signs up to six square feet.
The proposed auxiliary signs are each six square feet and comply with the sign district
requirements.
The Applicant has proposed no other changes and shall follow all other city standards for the
signage on the building. The signage plans are shown in Attachment E.
2. Sign Standard Adjustments – Section 1260.01
The Applicant requests to increase the size of auxiliary signage and flexibility to allow commercial
text on the sign faces. City Code Section 1260.01, Sign Standard Adjustments states:
…adjustments to the requirements and standards for the height, number, type, lighting,
area, and/or location of a sign or signs established by this Chapter may be approved with
a Site Plan Review or a Planned Unit Development process.
In order to approve an adjustment, the Planning Commission will need to make a determination
that the following criteria in the sign code have been satisfied:
Subd. 1 There are site conditions which require a sign adjustment to allow the sign to be
reasonably visible from a street immediately to the site.
Page 6 of 9
The Applicant has stated the sign adjustment is required to identify and orientate
customers, delivery trucks, and emergency vehicles.
Subd. 2 The sign adjustment will allow a sign of exceptional design or a style that will
enhance the area or that is more consistent with the architecture and design of
the site.
The proposed auxiliary signage will match previously approved materials and color
of signs and building features.
Subd. 3 The sign adjustment will not result in a sign that is inconsistent with the purpose
of the zoning district in which the property is located or the current land use.
The proposed auxiliary signage appears consistent with current zoning district and
land use.
Chapter 13, Zoning Regulations Review
1. District Provisions (Gateway Business District) – Section 1320
Under the 2040 Comprehensive Plan, this site is guided as Light Industrial & Office (IND) on the
land use plan and is zoned Gateway Business (GB). No changes to any uses or dimensional
standards are proposed.

2. Procedural Requirements for Specific Applications – Section 1355.04
A public hearing for a PUD Amendment request is required before the request can be brought
before the City Council. The applicant or its representative shall be given the opportunity to appear
before the Planning Commission to answer questions or give explanations regarding the proposal.
Upon completion of the public hearing and its study and consideration of the application, the
Planning Commission shall submit its written report, containing its findings, conclusions, and
recommendations as to the application, to the City Council.
Appendix A Descriptions of Various Land Use Procedures, Sign Permits
1. Signs Requiring Planning Commission Review and Council Approval.
Number of Signs
Appendix A sets standards for signs and sign permits. Appendix A uses different language for
signs than the sign code does and refers to auxiliary signs as directional signs. Appendix A states
that directional signs have a max of two signs per site and that a permit is required. Appendix A
establishes that if more than two directional signs are proposed for a site that Planning Commission
Page 7 of 9
review and Council approval is required. The Applicant is proposing three signs that appear to
meet required setbacks.

TO: Honorable Mayor and City Councilmembers
Jessica Jagoe, Interim City Administrator
FROM: Lucas J. Miller, Assistant Public Works Director
SUBJECT: Professional Services Extension with Rainbow Tree Care
Budgeted Amount: Actual Amount: Funding Source:
$30,000 $10,500 Parks Maintenance Fund
(For tree removal and EAB)
Council Should Consider
Motions to approve, table, or deny the following:
• Agreement Extension for Professional Services with Rainbow Tree Care to treat smaller
existing ash trees on City property by ground treatment.
• Agreement Extension for Professional Services with Rainbow Tree Care to treat existing
ash trees on City property and private property by injection.
• Agreement Extension for Professional Services with Rainbow Tree Care to treat existing
oak trees on City property and private property by injection.
Background/Discussion
Annually, Staff reviews contracting with Rainbow Tree Care (RTC) for Emerald Ash Borer and
Two-Lined Chestnut Borer mitigation services to City owned, public Ash and Oak trees. This
year RTC has extended its 2024 pricing through 2025, so the contract sets the cost rate per inch
for the City to treat by injection existing Ash and Oak trees and, also, provides Arden Hills’
residents a discounted rate from RTC’s standard fee to treat their Ash and Oak trees by injection,
if interested. RTC is offering $7.25 per inch for Ash and $8.75 per inch for Oak for residents and
$5.15 per inch for both Ash and Oak trees for the City, continued through 2025 from the 2024
contract extension. Correlating tables can be seen in Attachments B & C. Attachment A is a copy
of the RTC professional services agreement extension letter. Attachment D is a copy of the
signed 2024 PSA of which the prices will be extended through 2025, if Council so chooses.
As in the past, pricing was provided for contracting with RTC to provide services to ground treat
existing City Ash trees that are too small for injection treatment. The contract sets the cost rate
Page 2 of 2
per inch for the City to ground treat at $4.57 per inch. The proposal agreement and cost
breakdown are also shown in Attachment B for 2024 EAB ground treatment. The City performs
EAB injection treatment every other year and was last completed in 2023.
Budget Impact
2025 Public Tree Treatments:
Ash Tree Injection Treatment (done every other year) - ~$5,000
Ash Tree Ground Treatment (done yearly) - ~$1,500
Oak Tree Injection Treatment – ~$4,000
Attachments

City, and to the City.
The City and the Contractor agree as follows:
1. Contractor's Services. The Contractor agrees to provide professional tree care services as

project superintendent for the Work. This person may be assisted by other staff members
as necessary to facilitate the completion of the Work in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement. The Contractor may not remove or replace the designated project
superintendent without the City's prior approval.
3. Time for Performance of Services. The Contractor must perform the Work within the
timeframe set forth in the attached Scope of Services. If Contractor is delayed in
performance due to any cause beyond its reasonable control, such as strikes, riots, fires,
acts of God, governmental actions, actions of a third party, or actions or inactions of City,
the time for performance will be extended by the period of time lost by reason of the delay.
4. Compensation for Services. Contractor shall be paid for the Work in the manner and at the
costs described in Attachment B, which are made a part of this Agreement. A change in the
Scope of Services that may increase the compensation due to Contractor will not be
effective unless the City has given prior written approval.

the owner of the property on which the services are provided. Invoices submitted for Work
provided to the City will be paid in the same manner as other invoices submitted to the City.

with Minnesota Statutes Sections 471.38 and 471.391.
6. Audit Disclosure. The Contractor must allow the City or its duly authorized agents
reasonable access to the Contractor's books and records that are pertinent to all Work

approval.
7. Data Privacy and Security. The Contractor will take all reasonable and prudent measures to
ensure the security of all data that it handles in connection with the Work. The Contractor

inquiries from the Contractor concerning data requests.The Contractor agrees to hold the
City, its officers, and employees harmless from any claims resulting from the Contractor's
unlawful disclosure or use of data protected under state and federal laws.
8. Document Ownership. All finished or unfinished documents, data, and reports prepared by
the Contractor related to Work for the City will become the property of the City upon
termination of this Agreement, but Contractor may retain copies of such documents as
records of the Work provided. Except to the extent that Minnesota Statutes Chapter 466
limits the City's liability, the City agrees to defend and indemnify the Contractor for any
claims or losses resulting from the City's use of such documents not contemplated by the
parties at the time of the preparation.
9. Term. The term of this Agreement is from the Effective Date through October 31st, 2024,
the date of signature by the parties notwithstanding. This Agreement may be extended
upon the written mutual consent of the parties for such additional period as they deem
appropriate, and upon the terms and conditions as stated in this Agreement.
10. Termination. This Agreement may be terminated by either party by thirty days advance
written notice delivered to the other party at the address written above. Upon termination
under this provision if there is no fault of the Contractor, the Contractor will be paid for
Work rendered and reimbursable expenses hereunder until the effective date of
termination. If however, the City terminates the Agreement because the Contractor has
failed to perform in accordance with this Agreement, no further payment will be made to
the Contractor, and the City may retain another Contractor to undertake or complete the
Work.

Title:
Municipal Consulting Arborist
Attachment A—Scope of Services
Ash Tree Injection Services to the City of Arden Hills
Project Understanding
Tree pests threaten the lives of thousands of trees located in the City of Arden Hills (the "City").
Infested trees require expensive removals to protect neighboring trees and prevent dead trees
from becoming hazardous to people and property. Keeping mature trees alive through
preventive or therapeutic treatments can preserve trees in the urban forest and maintain the
social, environmental, and economic benefits they provide.
As the City aims to preserve its mature trees, they have entered into an agreement with
Rainbow Treecare to provide tree injection services for ash and oak trees ("tree injections" or
the "Work") on City-owned property as well as providing an outreach and discount program for
homeowners.
Project Goals
Protect ash and oak trees from emerald ash borer and two lined chestnut borer infestation on
City-owned properties, including parks. Treatments of City-owned trees will begin after City
staff makes the decision to begin treatments.
Provide a bulk discount program to all private property owners within the City of Arden Hills
to encourage residents to proactively inject their ash and oak trees in order to help preserve
the City's tree canopy and the accompanying economic and environmental benefits.
Project Areas
Area 1- City property
Trees on City property identified by the City as trees to receive injection treatments will begin
after staff has made the decision to proceed with such Work. Unless City staff directs
otherwise, all ash injections must be completed between May 15th and October 15th of each
year, or before fall leaf color, whichever occurs sooner.
All invoices will be remitted to the City of Arden Hills and itemized by property name
and unique number assigned to each tree
Area 2—Private property
Homeowners will contact Rainbow Treecare directly to initiate an inspection, receive a quote
and provide permission to perform the Work.The City will not be a party to any contract
between the private owner and the proposer. Any agreement with the private owner and the
Rainbow Treecare shall be subject to the following terms:
o The contractor will inspect the ash trees on private property and determine whether
they are appropriate for treatment
o All ash tree injections must be completed between May 15th and October 15th of
each year or before fall leaf color, whichever occurs sooner
o Any variances in dates must be approved by the City
o All invoices will be remitted to the homeowner
Area 3— Unscheduled Public Property
With approval from the City, residents may hire Rainbow Treecare to treat trees growing on
public property (Right-of-way) which are not being treated by the City. In the event that such
treatment is undertaken, this circumstance shall meet the requirements of Area 2.
Project Period and Completion Dates
The tree injection period will run from approximately May 15th—October 15th of each year for
one year, through the 2024 growing season. Rainbow Treecare may reserve the right to group
tree injections based on geographic proximity within the injection period in order to achieve
the efficiency needed to provide a discounted rate. Injections will occur on trees that have fully
expanded leaves and have not reached fall senescence (fall leaf color). The city forester or
person designated by the City Manager reserves the right to extend or limit the time period
based on seasonal conditions.

Council Should Consider
Motion to approve, table, or deny the following:
• Resolution 2025-017 Accepting Bid and Awarding the Construction Contract with
Hydro-Klean, LLC for the 2025 CIPP Lining Project in the amount of $297,359.15.
Background/Discussion
Pursuant Resolution 2025-010 adopted by City Council on January 13, 2025, City staff initiated
bid advertisement for the 2025 CIPP Lining project. A total of four bids were received on
February 4, 2025, and opened publicly at City Hall. TKDA has provided a recommendation
letter along with the bid tab as Attachment A. Resolution 2025-017 will accept the bids and
award the construction contract with Hydro-Klean LLC in the amount of $297,359.15.
In the previous memo on January 13, 2025, City staff recommended adding an Alternative
construction bid to the project. This includes the culvert crossing located across Glenarden Ct.,
of which the material consists of corrugated metal pipe and is deteriorating, and it could be
rehabilitated via CIPP. The as-bid Alternative cost was three times higher than the engineer’s
estimate, but the construction contract is still 30% under the engineer’s estimate for the base bid
and it is very unlikely to have the alternate come in at a lower price if it were rebid and included
on a future project. City staff recommends adopting Resolution 2025-017 as presented including
the alternative construction storm lining across Glenarden Ct.

Budget Impact
Total As-Bid Costs:
Construction (Primary) $ 282,097
Construction (Alternate) $ 15,262
Engineering Services $ 70,000
TOTAL $ 367,359
Total Estimated Funding
Sanitary Sewer Utility Fund $ 475,000
TOTAL $ 475,000
The City is participating in the 2023 Metropolitan Council (MCES) Public Inflow and
Infiltration Grant program. Roughly 25% of the construction costs from this project will be
eligible for reimbursement at the end of the program cycle in 2026.
I/I grant eligible funds are 25% of the pipe lining bid item costs which calculates to $70,524.
The 2025-2029 CIP Budget includes funding in the amount of $475,000 for the proposed work.
Staff has reviewed the bid prices and recommends that the City proceed with the work.

Council Should Consider
The Council should consider adopting Resolution 2025-018 providing for the issuance and sale
of general obligation bonds
Background
In 2024, the City Council held an Open House with residents and discussed at length, the cost
and financing options for the new Lake Johanna fire station, with the construction of the new
station anticipated to begin in the spring of 2025. The City Council adopted an Electric Franchise
Fee Ordinance with Xcel Energy (Northern States Power Company) on October 28, 2024 for the
collection of franchise fees in order to finance the new fire station. On December 9, 2024, the
City Council adopted the 2025-2029 CIP budget which included franchise fee assumptions of
$435,000 annually to offset debt service for the new fire station.
Staff worked with the City’s financial advisor, Ehlers, to provide a bond schedule for the
issuance to occur in the spring of 2025, in order to align with the anticipated development of the
new fire station. Attachment A is the Pre-Sale Bonding Report prepared by Ehlers which
includes the preliminary Series 2025 general obligation CIP bond schedule at the current market
bank qualified (BQ) AAA rate with a 50 basis points cushion. The bond schedule assumes an
estimated $24M of construction cost, less an estimated $6M in state funding, and the City’s 25%
proportionate share. The Lake Johanna Fire Department had their bid opening on January 30,
2025 for the headquarters construction and project totals will be refined through this process
based on the realization of final numbers. This also assumes the City will issue callable bonds at
a par value of $4,680,000, of which $4,425,000 would be directed to the project construction
CONSENT ITEM – 8U
MEMORANDUM
Page 2 of 3
fund and remaining funds to cover the costs of issuance, underwriter fees, and interest (True
Interest Cost = 4.04%). The annual debt service payments are anticipated to be approximately
$420,000 annually with the bond schedule expected to settle on May 20, 2025 and maturing over
15 years.
Also provided in more detail below and in Attachment A (Ehlers’ Presale Report) is the bonding
schedule of events. The next step in the process will be to hold a public hearing on the CIP for
the new fire station, which allows public comment and input on the financing for the
project. After consideration and approval of the CIP and plan of finance, the issuance of the
bonds is subject to a 30-day reverse referendum period. During this time, if the City receives a
petition requesting a vote on the issuance of the bonds from at least 5% of the voters in the last
general election, then a question regarding the issuance would need to be presented at a special
election. It should be noted that the question on the ballot would be if the city should issue this
type of bond (CIP bond) to finance the project or use cash, not on the project itself. If this
occurs, the City could choose to:
1. Place the issue on a special election (likely wouldn’t work with timing needed for the
funds)
2. Issue another type of bond which isn’t subject to reverse referendum; or
3. Use cash

Historically, cities have not received petitions for these types of projects and staff is of the
opinion that there has been adequate community outreach regarding the need for the project.
The Fire Board is expected to continue discussions regarding final project costs and the City’s
proportionate share. The City will bond only for its proportionate share and staff will work with
Ehlers to incorporate the City’s final proportionate share into the Official Statement, the formal
disclosure document of terms and features of the bond. The City’s final proportionate share will
also be discussed and shared with voters during the March 10, 2025 Public Hearing on CIP.
The CIP Public Hearing will be held on March 10, 2025 with Ehlers present to answer any
questions.

Presale Report
City of Arden Hills, Minnesota

Proposed Issue:
$4,680,000 General Obligation Capital Improvement Plan Bonds, Series 2025A
Purposes:
The proposed issue includes financing for the City’s proportionate share of a new fire station
within the City. Debt service will be paid from ad valorem property taxes.
Authority:
The Bonds are being issued pursuant to Minnesota Statutes, Chapter 475.521.
The CIP portion of the Bonds count against the Net Debt Limit of 3% of the estimated market
value (EMV) of taxable property in the City. In the City, the EMV for pay 2025 is
$1,844,682,400. Therefore, the total amount of outstanding debt cannot exceed $55,340,472.
This is the only debt the City has that will be subject to this limit. Therefore, issuance of the
Bonds will be well within the overall statutory debt limit for the City.
In addition, a separate limitation under the CIP Act is that, without referendum, the total
amount of principal and interest in any one year on all CIP Bonds issued by the City debt
cannot exceed 0.16% of the total estimated market value in the municipality. In the City, that
maximum annual debt service amount is $2,951,492. The annual principal and interest
payments the proposed Bonds averages approximately $420,000. As such, debt service on
the Bonds will be within the annual limits under the CIP Act.
Finally, the CIP Bonding Authority requires a public hearing and 30-day reverse referendum
period.
The Bonds will be general obligations of the City for which its full faith, credit and taxing
powers are pledged.
Term/Call Feature:
The Bonds are being issued for a term of 16 years. Principal on the Bonds will be due on
February 1 in the years 2027 through 2041. Interest will be due every six months beginning
February 1, 2026.
The Bonds will be subject to prepayment at the discretion of the City on February 1, 2035 or
any date thereafter.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY OF PROPOSED DEBT
Presale Report
City of Arden Hills, Minnesota
February 10, 2025
Page 2
Bank Qualification:
Because the City is expecting to issue no more than $10,000,000 in tax exempt debt during
the calendar year, the City will be able to designate the Bonds as “bank qualified” obligations.
Bank qualified status broadens the market for the Bonds, which can result in lower interest
rates.
Rating:
S&P Global Ratings "AAA"
The City’s most recent bond issues were rated by S&P Global Ratings. The current rating on
those bonds is “AAA”. The City will request a new rating for the Bonds.
Basis for Recommendation:
Based on your objectives, financial situation and need, risk tolerance, liquidity needs,
experience with the issuance of Bonds and long-term financial capacity, as well as the tax
status considerations related to the Bonds and the structure, timing and other similar matters
related to the Bonds, we are recommending the issuance of Bonds as a suitable option
Method of Sale/Placement:
We are recommending the Bonds be issued as municipal securities and offered through a
competitive underwriting process. You will solicit competitive bids, which we will compile on
your behalf, for the purchase of the Bonds from underwriters and banks.
An allowance for discount bidding will be incorporated in the terms of the issue. The discount
is treated as an interest item and provides the underwriter with all or a portion of their
compensation in the transaction.
If the Bonds are purchased at a price greater than the minimum bid amount (maximum
discount), the unused allowance may be used to reduce your borrowing amount.
Premium Pricing:
In some cases, investors in municipal bonds prefer “premium” pricing structures. A premium
is achieved when the coupon for any maturity (the interest rate paid by the issuer) exceeds
the yield to the investor, resulting in a price paid that is greater than the face value of the
bonds. The sum of the amounts paid in excess of face value is considered “reoffering
premium.” The amount of the premium varies, but it is not uncommon to see premiums for
new issues in the range of 2.00% to 10.00% of the face amount of the issue. This means that
an issuer with a $2,000,000 offering may receive bids that result in proceeds of $2,040,000
to $2,200,000.
For this issue of Bonds we have been directed to use the net premium to reduce the size of
the issue for the project. The resulting adjustments may slightly change the true interest cost
of the issue, either up or down.
Presale Report
City of Arden Hills, Minnesota
February 10, 2025
Page 3
The amount of premium can be restricted in the bid specifications. Restrictions on premium
may result in fewer bids, but may also eliminate large adjustments on the day of sale and
unintended impacts with respect to debt service payment. Ehlers will identify appropriate
premium restrictions for the Bonds intended to achieve the City’s objectives for this financing.
Review of Existing Debt:
We have reviewed all outstanding indebtedness for the City and find that there are no
refunding opportunities at this time.
We will continue to monitor the market and the call dates for the City’s outstanding debt and
will alert you to any future refunding opportunities.
Continuing Disclosure:
Because the City has less than $10,000,000 in outstanding debt (including this issue) and
this issue is over $1,000,000, the City will be agreeing to provide its Audited Financial
Statements annually as well as providing notices of the occurrence of certain reportable
events to the Municipal Securities Rulemaking Board (the “MSRB”), as required by rules of the
Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).The City is already obligated to provide such
reports for its existing bonds, and has contracted with Ehlers to prepare and file the reports.
Arbitrage Monitoring:
The City must ensure compliance with certain sections of the Internal Revenue Code and
Treasury Regulations (“Arbitrage Rules”) throughout the life of the issue to maintain the tax-
exempt status of the Bonds. These Arbitrage Rules apply to amounts held in construction,
escrow, reserve, debt service account(s), etc., along with related investment income on each
fund/account.
IRS audits will verify compliance with rebate, yield restriction and records retention
requirements within the Arbitrage Rules. The City’s specific arbitrage responsibilities will be
detailed in the Tax Certificate (the “Tax Compliance Document”) prepared by your Bond
Attorney and provided at closing.
The Bonds may qualify for one or more exception(s) to the Arbitrage Rules by meeting 1)
small issuer exception, 2) spend down requirements, 3) bona fide debt service fund limits, 4)
reasonable reserve requirements, 5) expenditure within an available period limitations, 6)
investments yield restrictions, 7) de minimis rules, or; 8) borrower limited requirements.
An Ehlers arbitrage expert will contact the City within 30 days after the sale date to review
the City’s specific responsibilities for the Bonds. The City is currently receiving arbitrage
services from Ehlers in relation to the Bonds.
Investment of Bond Proceeds:
Ehlers can assist the City in developing a strategy to invest your Bond proceeds until the
funds are needed to pay project costs.
Presale Report
City of Arden Hills, Minnesota
February 10, 2025
Page 4
Risk Factors:
The Bonds are subject to a 30-day reverse referendum period. If the City receives a petition
requesting a vote on the plan of finance from 5% of the voters in the last general election, then
a question regarding the issuance would need to be presented at a special election.
In the alternative, the City could finance the bonds under a different statutory authority
without requirement for a reverse referendum or pay cash for the project. The City is
proceeding under the current statutory option since this is the most commonly used portion
of the statutes for these types of projects and the City doesn’t have the funds on hand to
finance the project.
Other Service Providers:
This debt issuance will require the engagement of other public finance service providers. This
section identifies those other service providers, so Ehlers can coordinate their engagement
on your behalf. Where you have previously used a particular firm to provide a service, we have
assumed that you will continue that relationship. For services you have not previously
required, we have identified a service provider. Fees charged by these service providers will
be paid from proceeds of the obligation, unless you notify us that you wish to pay them from
other sources. Our pre-sale bond sizing includes a good faith estimate of these fees, but the
final fees may vary. If you have any questions pertaining to the identified service providers or
their role, or if you would like to use a different service provider for any of the listed services
please contact us.

Section 6. Declaration of Official Intent to Reimburse Expenditures.
6.01 The Internal Revenue Service has issued Treas. Reg. § 1.150-2 (the
“Reimbursement Regulations”) providing that proceeds of tax-exempt bonds used to reimburse
prior expenditures will not be deemed spent unless certain requirements are met; the City expects
to incur certain expenditures with respect to the Project that may be financed temporarily from
sources other than bonds, and reimbursed from the proceeds of tax-exempt bonds.
6.02 The City has determined to make a declaration of official intent (the “Declaration”)
to reimburse certain costs with respect to the Project from proceeds of the Bonds in accordance
with the Reimbursement Regulations.
6.03 All reimbursed expenditures will be capital expenditures, costs of issuance of the
Bonds, or other expenditures eligible for reimbursement under Section 1.150-2(d)(3) of the
Reimbursement Regulations.
6.04 This Declaration has been made not later than sixty (60) days after payment of any

amount not in excess of $100,000 or 5% of the proceeds of an issue; or (c) “preliminary
expenditures” up to an amount not in excess of 20% of the aggregate issue price of the issue or

commencement of acquisition, construction or rehabilitation of a project, other than land
acquisition, site preparation, and similar costs incident to commencement of construction.

on the facts and circumstances known to the City as of the date hereof. The anticipated original
expenditures for the Project and the principal amount of the Bonds described herein are consistent
with the City’s budgetary and financial circumstances. No sources other than proceeds of the
Bonds to be issued by the City are, or are reasonably expected to be, reserved, allocated on a long-
term basis, or otherwise set aside pursuant to the City’s budget or financial policies to pay such
expenditures.
6.06 This Declaration is intended to constitute a declaration of official intent for
purposes of the Reimbursement Regulations.

SUBJECT: Renaming of Old Highway 8
Council Should Consider
Motions to approve, table, or deny the following:
• Adopting Resolution 2025-020 relating to renaming the section of Old Highway 8 that runs
from its northern intersection with County Road I south to the County Road H roundabout to
Rice Creek Parkway
Background
This discussion was originally requested by the Lake Johanna Fire Department as having a
continuous name for this stretch of road will improve clarity for emergency responders. In addition
to this renaming the road at this time will minimalize the effects of address changes for future
property owners once development is underway. Renaming this section of roadway will better align
the name as the street continues from Arden Hills into Shoreview. This change has been presented
to adjacent Property Owners, Ramsey County GIS and Mapping staff, Ramsey County Public
Works, the Lake Johanna Fire Department, and the postal service to ensure a seamless transition.
Ramsey County Public Works has agreed to replace existing signage once the transition is
complete.
Upon approval of the City Council, the roadway known as Old Highway 8 would be renamed to
Rice Creek Parkway. Address numbering would remain the same and the resolution for
consideration applies to the renaming of the roadway.
