Public Works Director / City Engineer SUBJECT: Tower Security Improvements Budgeted Amount: Actual Amount: Funding Source: $0 $161,700 (estimate) Water Utility Fund, UASI Grant Council Should Consider Council should provide direction on how to move forward with the proposed security improvements with the City’s two towers. Background On August 28, 2023, the City Council approved Professional Services Agreement with TKDA for the South Tower Improvements project. On December 18, 2023, at a Work Session, City Council discussed desired security improvements that were identified in the City’s Water Risk and Resiliency Assessment to the South Tower with this project: • Perimeter fencing • Pivot gate with card reader • Mechanical swing gate • Person gate Through discussion, City Council was also interested in pursuing security improvements to the North Tower. Both sites were included in the Urban Area Security Initiative (UASI) Grant application which ultimately was not successful. Response from the UASI representatives there was a decrease in the total allotment amount available for 2024. On December 9th, 2024, City Staff separated the security improvements from the South Tower Improvement Project in order to move forward with the repair work to be completed in 2025. Page 2 of 2 Discussion City staff is requesting direction on the proposed security improvements for both towers: • Pursue the UASI Grant (request 100% construction costs). o Applications typically around late-winter timeframe with notice of award around October. • Budget for proposed security improvements to be constructed in 2026. • Complete design, bid, and construct the proposed security improvements in 2025. • Eliminate the proposed security improvements project. Budget Impact TKDA has indicated they have budget remaining within the existing contract to provide engineering services for the proposed security improvements. Estimated tower security improvement costs: Description Unit Quantity Unit Cost Extension Perimeter Fencing (8-foot tall, galvanized)LF 1250 60$ 75,000$ Pivot Gate EA 2 20,000$ 40,000$ Slide Gate EA 2 7,500$ 15,000$ Person Gate EA 2 3,500$ 7,000$ Card Reader Access System LS 1 10,000$ 10,000$ 147,000$ 14,700$ 161,700$ Subtotal Contigency (10%) Total Cost Estimate The Water Utility Fund is expected to be in good standing based upon the revenue and expenditure streams anticipated for 2025. Although not originally budgeted as part of the 2025- 2029 CIP, the cost of this project could be covered with existing fund balance.

Page 1 of 5 AGENDA ITEM – 3C 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: Proposed 2026 PMP Street and Utility Improvement Project Budgeted Amount: Actual Amount: Funding Source: $2,485,000 (CIP) TBD through feasibility study PIR, Special Assessments, Utility Funds Council Should Consider • City staff is preparing a resolution ordering a feasibility study for the 2026 PMP Street and Utility Improvements for consideration by the City Council on March 10, 2025. Staff is requesting an opportunity to review the anticipated project scope, budget and schedule with the City Council prior to ordering the feasibility study. • Consideration of direct selecting engineering consultant Bolton & Menk for professional services to complete the feasibility report, design of project plans and specifications, and construction administration. Background The 2025-2029 Capital Improvement Program (CIP), Attachment A, identifies proposed street and utility improvements within the Karth Lake neighborhood area for 2026, the proposed project area can be seen in Attachment B. The proposed streets include Karth Lake Dr., Pleasant Drive (between south and north cul-de-sacs), Pleasant Dr. (Amble Dr. to south cul-de-sac), Pleasant Circle, Amble Drive (Karth Lake Dr to Lexington Avenue), Karth Lake Circle, and Cummings Park Drive, which includes approximately 132 properties adjacent to the street improvements. The proposed project area is made up of 5 platted developments labeled as Karth Lake Hills (1977), Karth Lake Estates (1978), Karth Lake Estates Second Addition (1979), Karth Lake Estates Third Addition (1979), and Boston Scientific Campus (2015). Along with the development, public utilities were constructed with PVC for sanitary sewer, ductile-iron pipe (DIP) for water main and force main, and more recent stormwater improvements consist of an outlet pump and grit chamber systems. The condition of this infrastructure is described in the Preliminary Scope of Work section. Page 2 of 5 Staff is preparing a resolution ordering a feasibility study for the 2026 PMP Street and Utility Improvements for consideration by the City Council at the March 10, 2025 Regular City Council Meeting. The purpose of this memorandum is to provide a general description of the preliminary scope, budget and schedule for the project and seek any direction the Council may wish to provide as staff prepares the feasibility report and recommended special assessment roll. Preliminary Scope of Work Existing infrastructure conditions within the proposed project area are as follows: • Streets and Trails o Through City pavement management records, the latest structural project type for the streets were:  1994 Reconstruction: Amble Dr.  2003 Mill & Overlay: Amble Ci., Karth Lake Dr., Pleasant Dr. (between north and south cul-de-sacs), and Pleasant Ci.  2003 Reconstruction: Cummings Park Dr., Pleasant Dr. (Amble Dr. to south cul-de-sac)  2007 Reclamation: Karth Lake Ci., o The typical life cycle of a road with a structural type project is 15-20 years, which puts this area in the category for pavement rehabilitation. o Current pavement condition ratings range from 17 to 40 out of a possible score of 100 for all streets except for Karth Lake Circle which is rated 64. The surface of the streets is in poor condition with many covered with extensive amounts of cracking and delamination. These streets have seen an increase in needs for pothole filling and patching, therefore increasing the cost to maintain. o Based off the Karth Lake Circle condition rating of 64, the likely pavement rehabilitation will be mill & overlay. o Core samples and borings will be conducted during the feasibility study. o Pavement rehabilitation types will likely consist of mill & overlay or full-depth reclamation with a finished 4-inch-thick pavement mat. o Spot curb repair is expected only to address drainage issues. o Trail rehabilitation is expected along the south side of Karth Lake. • Sanitary o All of the sewer that was installed as part of the surrounding developments consist of 8-inch PVC material. o Televising reports provided by our Public Works Department indicates the pipe and manhole structures are in good condition with minor spot repairs. o Manhole concrete rings are deteriorating and will be replaced for inflow and infiltration prevention. o Lift Station 13 was last rehabbed in 2023 and is in excellent condition. o The force main for lift station 13 consists of 6-inch ductile-iron pipe material and has no history of breaks. Page 3 of 5 • Water o Water main was installed as part of the surrounding developments with 6-inch, 8- inch, and 12-inch ductile iron pipe (DIP). o 515-feet of 6-inch watermain that serves 6 properties along Hwy-96 is proposed for replacement. This segment has a history of main breaks that would indicate poor condition of pipe. o Through recent inspections Public Works has identified a few hydrants and valves to replace which were not included in the initial estimate. o The installation of an additional hydrant along Amble Dr. is proposed. • Storm Drainage o Storm catch basin and manhole structures that are deteriorating and need repair have been identified by Public Works. o Retaining wall rehab near outlet pump (RCWD Grant eligible) o BMP-Phase 2 – surface water treatment from Cummings Park and adjacent property (RCWD Grant eligible) o Grit chamber improvement proposed for drainage from Karth Lake Circle (RCWD Grant eligible) o Storm sewer pipe televising identified spot repairs but overall good condition. o Dredging of formed deltas is proposed around outlet locations that discharge into Karth Lake, actual amount of sediment to be removed will be evaluated. o Curb and gutter is generally in good condition but spot replacement will be needed in some areas. Additional research regarding the age and condition of existing infrastructure will be evaluated during preparation of the feasibility report. Preliminary Project Budget From the 2025-2029 CIP, the initial cost estimate is summarized in the following table and will be revised as part of the feasibility report. This estimate includes the anticipated costs for engineering design, surveying, and construction administration as a 27% contingency, which is consistent with previous PMP projects since 2021. * Initial estimate subject to revisions during the feasibility study Category CIP Budget Streets $1,720,000 Storm Drainage $500,000 Sanitary Sewer $145,000 Water Utility $120,000 TOTAL $2,485,000 Page 4 of 5 The improvements for this project are anticipated to include funding derived from special assessments. The special assessment process must follow the City’s current special assessment policy and maintain compliance with the requirements of Minnesota Statutes 429. A preliminary assessment roll will be prepared as part of the feasibility report. The policy states that the City will assess fifty percent of the costs associated with bituminous overlay for a typical residential zoned street section on a unit basis and seventy percent for commercial/industrial zoned properties. For the 2026 PMP, Staff is recommending the City approach the assessments by completing property appraisals during the feasibility study to support the measured benefit to the assessable properties. Traditionally, Arden Hills has not conducted appraisals with the PMPs but it is a typical process in most communities when assessments are applied. The feasibility report will include a review of the calculated assessment rate per the assessment policy, the determined appraisal rates and special assessment rates applied to past projects in the City of Arden Hills. Staff will review anticipated special assessments with the City Council prior to completing the feasibility report.

Bolton & Menk has been the engineering consultant on the 2021 PMP, the Old Snelling Street and Trail Improvement project (2022 PMP) and the 2024 PMP. All projects were very successful and overall City staff received positive feedback from residents involved. City staff has become familiar with Bolton & Menk’s team and Bolton & Menk is familiar with the City’s PMP project process and Assessment Policy. If directed by Council, staff will reach out to Bolton & Menk to receive a proposal directly. Staff will then review the proposal and negotiate, if necessary, to ensure the City is receiving a quality service at an appropriate rate. Page 5 of 5 If staff would like to consider Bolton & Menk for professional services, an item will be bought to Council as a recommendation for approval at the March 10, 2025, regular Council meeting. If staff does not recommend approval, staff will begin the RFP process. Budget Impact CIP identifies project funding sources consisting of the PIR fund, other (special assessments), sanitary sewer utility, water utility, and surface water utility. City staff will be pursuing funding through the Rice Creek Watershed District Stormwater Management Grant Program and will coordinate with Ramsey County if there is an opportunity for cost share related pond improvements. As previously stated, the total project cost estimate and proposed project funding sources will be further refined during preparation of the feasibility report.

Background At the January 13th work session, the City Council discussed their 2025 ranking of priority topics for scheduling at future work sessions. The number one ranking of the City Council was the discussion for planning of the City’s 75th Anniversary. For historical background, the name of the City is said to have come from billionaire Senator Joseph Hackney's hobby farm, Arden Farms. Senator Hackney started the farm within the city limits back in 1906. The City was originally part of Mounds View Township. When the Township was organized, it included the present Shoreview, Arden Hills, New Brighton, Mounds View and parts of North Oaks and St. Anthony. Arden Hills was incorporated on February 14, 1951, in response to New Brighton's request for annexation of the area. Over the next 20 years the boundaries of the City were formed through other annexation deals and land trades, forming the City boundaries as it exists today. Staff is looking for direction from the City Council on possible next steps for the 75th anniversary planning. Items for discussion include consideration of the following: • Formation of a 75th anniversary subcommittee (i.e. Councilmember(s), residents, business owners, committee/commission members, staff, etc.) that plans and brings forth recommendations to the full City Council • Develop a 75th city logo • Purchase promotional items (i.e. pens, clothing, magnets) • Create a history book • Special commemorative event • Other ideas?

Background Per Council’s adopted policy on agenda setting, please find the proposed agenda below for the upcoming meeting. March 10th Work Session • To Be Discussed • RCC/TCAAP Discussion (not time sensitive) • Agenda Planning (time sensitive) Attachment A is the list of topics that have yet to be discussed by Council and the 2025 ranking of priority topics as distributed to the Council at the January 13th work session. Staff will begin to work the higher priority items into upcoming work sessions sooner while putting the lower priority items to later discussions. Please note, this does not reflect all items at work sessions as Staff will have necessary items for discussion, such as, budget discussions, concept plan reviews, or Public Works projects that need timely direction. Council may want to discuss if any items need to be added to this list for future discussion or assign a future meeting for some of these items. This would need to be done by a majority consensus of Council. Below is a running list of things Staff brings forward to work session annually, in recent years, we have shifted away from bringing some items forward unless needed, such as, the Pavement Management Update from Public Works. Note, these timelines may shift year to year. Most items discussed at work sessions are one-off items that may require multiple meetings but are usually not reoccurring.

For regular worksession agendas: • Prior to concluding each regularly scheduled worksession, the City Council shall review its next regularly scheduled worksession agenda and direct Staff on any changes. • Should an individual Councilmember want to raise an item for discussion at the next meeting or in the future, they would do so during this review period. The item would need at least one other Councilmember to agree to having the item considered for future discussion, and then Council, by majority, would direct to have it placed on a future agenda or not. • Staff will have flexibility to add or remove items to the worksession as needed to maintain operational efficacy. For regular City Council meeting agendas: • Agendas will be largely Staff driven based on approvals needed for normal operations. • Items coming from the City Council shall first be discussed at a worksession and can direct Staff at said worksession to bring items forward for formal approval if needed. • In rare instances, if a Councilmember brings forward an item that needs approval prior to going to a worksession, they may request the City Administrator add the item to the agenda. The City Administrator shall have the discretion to determine if the issue should be added or not, but Councilmembers will make every effort to having the item first discussed at a worksession. Special meetings and emergency meetings: • Special meetings and emergency meetings may still be called at the discretion of the Mayor or any two Councilmembers, and the members calling the meeting shall set the agenda.
