This sign would be valid from 7:00- 8:00 A.M. on school days. This recommendation is based on a request I from several residents. However, several residents and the Ramsey County Sheriff have spoken in opposition to the sign. I 2. 1996 Street Improvement Project Update The purpose of the update is to provide the Council with any additional " information gathered from conversations with affected property owners over the past week. The update is not intended to be a formal Public I ....- -". Hearing, but simply an opportunity to answer any additional questions . residents may have. .. If there aren't any residents present to participate in the discussion, Staff intends to simply clarify the intentions of the Council regarding Oak Avenue and Pascal Avenue. Specifically, the clarification would be I whether or not the intent of the Council was to schedule separate information meetings or address project plans at a regular Council Meeting.

I The Resolution has been redrafted to provide clear support the Concept I Plan and clarify the concerns of the City in regards to the funding and design of the proposed project.

February 2. 1996, Memorandum from Councilmember Paul Malone to I AMM Councilmember Malone has provided input to AMM on the proposed Bill I allocating funds for Comprehensive Plan Updates. b. 1995 Year End Sheriff Activity Report/Organizational Chart .

CooDerative Trails Grant Application I Approximately one year ago the City submitted a grant application to the MnDNR for funds to assist with the 1996 Trail Improvement project. At that time, Arden Hills received notice that due to the lack of funds made available by the State I Legislature no awards could be given. Staff was recently notified by State officials that should the Legislature I appropriate funds this Spring for this program, Arden Hills will most likely be eligible to receive its request. The City had requested $45,000 from the MnDNR. This amount would have to be matched by the City. A project of this size would .. include both alternates as discussed by the City Council at recent meetings. Staff will keep the COllncilllpdated. I 1. Februarv 7. 1996.

Also present were: City Administrator, Brian Fritsinger; City Accountant, Terry Post; I Public Works Superintendent, Dwayne Stafford; Community Development Director, Kevin Ringwald; Parks & Recreation Director, Cindy Walsh; City Attorney, Jerry Filla; City Engineer, Greg Stonehouse; and Recording Secretary, Cathy Sorensen. Ie ADOPT AGENDA 1 MOTION: Aplikowski moved and Malone seconded a motion to adopt the agenda for the January 29, 1996 Regular City Council meeting as presented. The motion carried I unanimously (5-0). RESOLUTION NO. 96-13. PUBLIC HEARING. ORDERING THE 1996 I IMPROVEMENT AND PREPARATION OF PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS IN THE MATTER OF THE 1996 STREET IMPROVEMENT PROJECT I Brian Fritsinger, City Administrator, verified publication of the public hearing on January 18 and 25, 1996, and the resident mailing was sent. I Mayor Probst gave an overview of the public hearing process. Greg Stonehouse, City Engineer, gave a presentation on the Pavement Management Program I (PMP), which is the City's method of evaluating and rating pavement maintenance requirements. Under this program the conditions of streets are rated on a three year rotating basis. He indicated I it was an objective tool, with the goal being to keep streets in good condition. Mr. Stonehouse gave a slide presentation explaining in detail PMP, benefits, costs, assessment ~ policy, curb, gutter and drainage needs, street widths, and photos of various streets throughout I -- ---- .. .. ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - JANUARY 29.1996 2 . .. the City depicting different types of pavement distress, including Fernwood Avenue, McCracken Lane, Oak Avenue, Pascal Avenue, and Eide Circle. I Mr. Stonehouse explained the project schedule, including public hearings, plan approval, opening for bids (early April), assessment hearings, June, 1996, and cons1ruction startup, with I finalization in September, 1996. He thanked residents for their input received at the January 9, 1996 informational meeting. Mayor Probst inquired if the Council had any questions for Mr. Stonehouse. Counci1member . Malone inquired why curb and gutter was appropriate for Oak Avenue. Mr. Stonehouse responded curb and gutter is an integral part of the storm drainage system and the City's desire to . create an urban, more uniform look. He continued it is heavier and will last longer against traffic and snowplowing maintenance. Councilmember Aplikowski inquired if a road can be narrower than 32 feet and still receive curb . and gutter. Mr. Stonehouse responded the state regulation is 26 feet, so it is feasible to go . narrower, but he would not recommend less than 26 feet. He confirmed Oak Avenue currently varies between 24 and 26 feet. Mayor Probst opened the Public Hearing for questions from the public at 7:51 p.m., and ~ explained the issue this evening was not project costs, but project concept. Dwight Warkentin, 1666 Oak Avenue, thanked the Council for the opportunity to speak, and I stated he shares a mutual desire for quality streets. Mr. Warkentin explained that Oak Avenue is a dead end street with 27 residents that fosters a strong sense of neighborhood. He explained the I street has served the resident's purposes for 29 years and agree's that Oak A venue should be maintained. However, it should be maintained more like a village street rather than an urban street. I Mr. Warkentin presented the Mayor with a signed petition from the residents of Oak Avenue who oppose the widening of the street, the curb and gutter, and removal of the grass island. He I explained the widening of the street is not needed as there is ample off street parking, and would have an adverse affect on the neighborhood. Mr. Warkentin con1inued that the curb and gutter is I not needed as there are no drainage issues and it would disrupt landscaping, underground sprinkling, mailboxes, etc. He continued that removing the grass island would create a trapezoid-shaped parking lot without trees, grass, as well as the fire hydrant being relocated from I its centra110cation. Mr. Warkentin indicated he contacted a civil engineer in a neighboring community, and was told I a central recons1ruction issue is not the appearance of a street, but the status of the subsoil base underneath. Mr. Warkentin stated he does not observe heaving or settling of the street, and .. I I' ., I ,. ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - JANUARY 29.1996 3 indicated, until core samples are taken, no decision can be made. He continued the cost ofthe I overlay is less than the cost of replacement, and the overlay would be sufficient. Greg Smith, 1644 Oak Avenue, offered his agreement with Mr. Warkentin's comments and I added the cul-de-sac island aids in public safety as it decreases speed of traffic and should not be removed. He continued that he previously lived in Vadnais Heights and Brooklyn Park, and felt that Oak A venue was unique and gave a rural feeling in a metropolitan area. I Gloria Kuehn II, 3581 Ridgewood Road, commented that drainage correction is needed, as I they are inundated with water each time there is a heavy rainfall. She indicated she did not support the overlay of Ridgewood Court at this time until drainage issues can be addressed. I Mayor Probst indicated Ridgewood Court was pulled from the 1995 plan because of these drainage issues. Mr. Stonehouse indicated any improvements for Ridgewood Court would also contain solutions to the drainage issues as well. I Bev and Max Stoutenberg, 1435 County Road E, indicated they are 29 year residents and agree with the comments of Mr. Warkentin. .. Dale Schrader, 1636 Oak Avenue, endorsed what Mr. Warkentin said, and added that reconstruction would cause a transportation burden for his handicapped sister-in-law. I Kathy Burnett, 3631 Pascal Avenue, stated she was accustomed to a narrower road, and stated there is little traffic on her road. She indicated drainage problems are an issue as well, as the I roadway is heaving and has large cracks. She continued that trees along Pascal A venue may be pre-Civil War trees and would be a loss to the City if damaged during reconstruction. I Brian and Jamie Hecht, 1620 Oak Avenue, agreed with Mr. Warkentin's comments, and inquired how the changes would affect utilities. Mayor Probst responded if changes to utilities I are needed they would be done at the time of construction, at no cost to the home owner. He continued that utility companies use reconstruction as an opportunity to update gas, electric and cable lines. Mr. Hecht indicated he has had previous problems with sewer back-up. Mayor I Probst indicated if a repair is needed, evaluation will be made prior to street reconstruction. Don Erickson, 1611 Oak Avenue, indicated he agrees with the previous comments made, and I stated an overlay would be sufficient, as his lot is 300 feet long. Colleen Paulus, 1462 Arden Oaks Drive, indicated there are storm drainage problems and I supported the curb and gutter plans for the reconstruction of Pascal A venue. She stated at times she has had four to six inches of water in her backyard. f' I ,~ - ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - JANUARY 29. 1996 4 I Bill Bushnell, 1555 Oak Avenue, agreed with the comments made, and stated widening of the .. streets is a concern because his property has an embankment and retaining wall on it, and it I would be removed if street widening occurred. Dave Reimer, 4100 Hamline Avenue North, CPI Guidant, requested the Council to reconsider I the proposed work on Fernwood Avenue as he believes reconstruction is drastic compared to a patch and overlay solution. Walt Seiler, 4201 Lexington Avenue, Control Data Systems, indicated Control Data is a I property owner on Fernwood Avenue, and requests the Council reconsider the proposal to reconstruct. I Mayor Probst closed the public hearing at 8:25 p.m. Mayor Probst stated he understood the concerns on Oak A venue, and had an opportunity to look I at the cul-de-sac island. Mr. Stonehouse indicated the island could be accommodated. Mayor Probst noted that the City has no intention to create an urban setting or to change the character of I any neighborhood. He continued the process is a tool used over the long-term. Councilmember Hicks inquired if core sampling is a standard practice. Mr. Stonehouse .. responded it was. Councilmember Hicks noted the PC1 ratings were very different, and based on observation, would an overlay be sut1icient. Mr. Stonehouse responded that upon observing the I "alligator" cracking, an overlay would allow the cracks to probably show in a short period of time. Councilmember Hicks inquired as to what conditions are looked for in core samples. Mr. . Stonehouse responded that results would be similar to the Keithson Drive project in 1992, that utilized cold-in-place recycling rather than reconstruc1ion because of the quality ofthe sub-base. I Councilmember Hicks claritied that, should reconstruction occur, residents will not lose property, as the front portion of the front yard is right-of-way property. I Councilmember Malone agreed with Council member Hicks that Pascal Avenue has severe drainage problems, and would not support Fernwood Avenue being rebuilt. He expressed his I concern that two roads, Round Lake and Dunlap, became almost impassable and necessitated a property owner petition for overlay work to be done. He said once a road deteriorates past a I point, it deteriorates quickly, and if there isn't any money in the budget that could be a real concern. Councilmember Malone indicated Oak Avenue may be a candidate for cold-in- place recycling if I the core sampling supports this approach. -- I I' I ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - JANUARY 29.1996 ~ 5 Councilmember Aplikowski indicated she understood wanting to preserve the cul-de-sac, and I questioned why curb and gutter is not wanted. She indicated agreement with Councilmember Malone not to spend money on repairs, only then to go back again for more costly reconstruction. I Councilmember Keirn inquired if the street allows parking on one side only. Mr. Stonehouse responded parking is allowed on either side. Councilmember Keim noted if the slreet is I narrowed, then off-street parking will be limited. Mayor Probst suggested recommendation on each PMP category and street. He verified the I Council was in agreement on sealcoat options. I Mayor Probst summarized that Ridgewood Court had drainage issues, and offered a commitment to review proposed solutions with the residents. Councilmember Malone verified that no street improvements will be made until the drainage issue has been resolved. I Mayor Probst noted no one represented Eide Circle residents, and verified it would be reconstructed. Councilmember Malone noted a resident has a home occupation nursery and had .. requested a directional sign during construction. Mayor Probst summarized that reconstruction plans for Oak A venue would be changed to reflect I a width of 26 feet, the island would remain, and it would be determined by core samples if cold- in-place recycling would be feasible. He continued, ifrecycling is not a viable option, then Oak A venue will be removed from the reconstruction list. I Councilmember Hicks suggested the same procedure be used on Pascal as Oak Avenue. He noted Pascal Avenue has less traffic then Oak Avenue. I Councilmember Hicks inquired if MSA funds are lost if funds are not used as planned. Mr. I Stonehouse responded that funds are no110st, but they are not released as quickly if work is not performed. I Mayor Probst noted the cost of street reconstruction is approximately $1 million per mile and the City has only budgeted about $150,000 per year, so it has to be spent carefully. He continued the City, in the distant past has not done a good job on preventative road maintenance, but the I Council is now committed to doing so. MOTION: Malone moved, seconded by Hicks, to adopt Resolution No. 96-13, Ordering the I 1996 Improvement and Preparation of Plans and Specifications in the Matter of the 1996 Street Improvement Project. This would include all streets identified in it Alternate 2 of the Feasibility Study with the addition ofEide Circle and the following amendments: Fernwood Avenue be removed from the plans; I '. ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - JANUARY 29.1996 6 I Ridgewood Court be evaluated for drainage issue solution; Oak Avenue plans .. include the cul-de-sac island, 26 feet width, and core samples and cold-in-place I recyling be considered; Pascal Avenue plans indicated decreasing the width to minimize landscaping impact; and the reconstruction of Eide Circle as proposed. Motion carried unanimously (5-0). I Mr. fritsinger clarified that curb and gutter will not be installed unless reconstruction occurs. A gentleman in the audience thanked the Council for listening to the resident's concerns. I RESOLUTION NO. 96-08. PUBLIC HEARING. ENABLING THE ESTABLISHMENT I OF AN ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY Mr. Fritsinger verified publication of the public hearing on January 18 and 25, 1996. I Mr. Fritsinger gave a presentation on the background and powers of an Economic Development I Authority. The purpose of creating the EDA is to assist the City with its economic development efforts at the Gateway Business District and potential TCAAP projects. Mayor Probst opened the hearing for public comment at 9:05 p.m. .. Mr. Roger Aiken, 4360 Hamline Avenue North, inquired as to the haste in establishing an I Economic Development Authority (EDA) and the purpose of it. He continued that Arden Hills is a small city, and there is no pressing need for an EDA. Mayor Probst responded there was no pressing need, but the creation of an EDA would provide I another tool that will be used in conjunction with TCAAP, Gateway Business District, and other properties. He continued that an EDA has been discussed for several years and the Council is I now ready to consider creating this entity. Mr. Aiken inquired of the amount of salary compensation for the board members. Mr. Fritsinger I outlined the activities of the board, and indicated no additional compensation has been discussed, as the City Council would be the EDA board. Mr. Aiken inquired if that at some point I compensation would be made. Mr. Fritsinger indicated that his recommendation at this time was for no compensation and that his experience in working for several other cities is that the EDA Board is not compensated. I Mr. Aiken indicated an EDA would reduce resident input, as well as create a close relationship with businesses. I Councilmember Malone inquired if an EDA is subjec1 to open meeting law. Mr. Fritsinger .. indicated it is. I I' I If ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - JANUARY 29 1996 7 Craig Wilson, 1677 W. County Road F, indicated not all EDA business is conduc1ed in the I background, and read a portion of Minnesota Slate Statute that states compensation and reimbursement shall be paid in an amount to be determined. I Mayor Probst closed the public hearing at 9: 15 p.m. Councilmember Keirn indicated compensation is not a underlying factor, and stated she was I insulted that the EDA is viewed in this fashion. She also noted the Planning Commission is not compensated. I Councilmember Aplikowski indicated the EDA topic has been discussed over the last five years, and will be a good way to expedite development. I Mayor Probst indicated his disappointment in the concerns raised against the EDA, and felt it is simple logic to create an EDA as one more tool available for the City's use. I Mr. Aiken inquired if other EDA's were examined in the northern suburbs. Mayor Probst indicated there was no exhaustive examination of other EDA's. Ie MOTION: Malone moved, seconded by Hicks, to adopt Resolution No. 96-08, Enabling the Establishment of an Economic Development Authority. The motion carried I unanimously (5-0). A recess was taken at 9:20 p.m. Council re-convened at 9:24 p.m. I APPROVAL OF MINUTES I January 9, 1996, Regular City Council Meeting: I Page 9, last linc, corrected to read "including being a significant Park Fund contributor.

He explained the reason for the change order is to cover both additional and deleted work times that were added or deleted after the contract was let for the project, and I the total net amount ofthe change order is $1,514.00, which increases the total contract amount to $375,897.79, approximately $20,000 less than the original contract. Mayor Probst inquired if the cap amount was raised. Mr. Stonehouse indicated the cap amount . did not change because items were deleted from the contract. Mayor Probst inquired regarding the reason for the change. Mr. Stonehouse replied it was due to I a ruptured water main that delayed the contractor. Mr. Stonehouse reviewed the pay estimate of $69,5 82.69 for 1995 Street Improvement Project, I which will bring the total construction cost to date to $339,701.75. .

I Councilmember Aplikowski stated that Mr. McDermott talked to her at church to discuss the planned street improvements occurring on his block. Mr. Fritsinger noted a street rating list was available at the information meeting, and will be updated again in three years.

UNFINISHED AND NEW BUSINESS I Adopt Resolution #95-89. Adopting Rel!u1ations and Procedures for a Drug Free Workplace for Employees in Safe(y Sensitive Positions. I City Administrator Fritsinger indicated that this item was reviewed at the December 21, 1995 .. Worksession meeting. Mr. fritsinger indicated that Federal regulations mandating the implementation of the requirements of the Federal Omnibus Transportation Employee Testing Act for all public entities were published in 1994. The regulations contain numerous changes I which supersede state law that allows optional drug and alcohol testing in the workplace. These rules require implementation of this policy by January 1, 1996. Mr. Fritsinger reported that this Act requires all employees whose job duties include the I operation of a commercial motor vehicle and who are required to hold a commercial driver's license to be subject to random drug and alcohol testing. With few exceptions, drivers required I to have a commercial driver's license (CDL) are subject to the controlled substance and alcohol testing rules. A CDL is required for drivers operating a vehicle with a manufacturer's gross weight rating in excess of26,OOO pounds, for drivers who operate a vehicle designed to carry 16 I or more passengers, or drivers who operate a vehicle used in the transporta1ion of hazardous material. The employees who operate these vehicles typically would be performing what is I ca1egorized as safety-sensitive functions. Mr. Fritsinger indicated that employers must provide information on drug and alcohol misuse, I the employers policy, the testing requirements, and how and where employees can get help. All supervisors of safety-sensitive employees must attend at least one hour of training on the signs and symptoms of drug abuse and one hour of training on alcohol misuse symptoms and I indicators used in making determinations for reasonable suspicion testing. Most City employees who are required to have this training have received it. .. I - I~ I ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - DECEMBER 26. 1995 I- 3 Mr. Fri1singer indicated that, at this time, the policy would affect only those maintenance I employees in the Public Works and Parks Departments. Even though the Parks employees do not typically perform safety sensitive functions, they have CDL's and are available for emergency service. This requires them to be randomly tested along with the other maintenance I workers. Mr. Fritsinger indicated that Staff is proposing the City con1ract with the Association of I Minnesota Counties/Minnesota Counties Insurance Trust (AMC/MCIT), which contracts both the testing and random drawing. The collection site for testing will be Medtox Laboratories, located at 402 W. County Road D, New Brighton. The random drawing will be completed by I United, Inc., Cranberry Township, Pennsylvania. I Mr. Fritsinger indicated that the City will pay an annual fee of$125 to AMC/MCIT. The actual testing costs vary depending on the results of the test. However, the normal costs would be $46 per drug test, which includes $23 per lab test, $20 collection site fee, and $3 for Medical Review I Officer (MRO) review. Mr. Fritsinger indicated that Staff recommends the Council adopt Resolution No. 95-89 adopting Ie regulations and procedures for a drug free workplace for employees in safety sensitive positions, and to contract with AMC/MCIT for the testing of this program. I MOTION: Hicks moved and Keim seconded a motion to adopt Resolution No. 95-89, Adopting Regulations and Procedures for a Drug Free Workplace for Employees in Safety Sensitive Positions. Mo1ion carried unanimously (5-0). I Recycling Contract I Community Development Director Kevin Ringwald presented an overview of the recycling contract to the Council. Mr. Ringwald indicated that the resale price of recyclables had increased I significantly over the past two years and only recently decreased somewhat. Mr. Ringwald indicated that the costs have stabilized now, and that it is reflective of the market. I Mr. Ringwald stated that E-Z Recycling wishes to remove Section 9.1 of the Agreement to clarify the employee designation. I Mr. Ringwald indica1ed that the City could promote recycling by placing a notice in with resident's water bill, or by airing a spot on cable channels, listing what items are recyclable, the recycling date, etc. Mr. Ringwald continued that box board (i.e., cereal boxes) has been added to I the recycling contract. Mr. Ringwald indicated that there is the ability to market recycling within the current budget. ~ I --------- -.. ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - DECEMBER 26. 1995 4 I -. Chris Reinhardt, President of E-Z Recycling, Inc., spoke to the Council about different methods of educating the residents of Arden Hills about recycling, including notices in the water . bill, City newsletter, community newsletter, or a notice placed in each recycling bin Mayor Probst questioned Mr. Reinhardt if a change in the contract provides an incentive for him to solicit residents to increase 1heir recycling. Mr. Reinhardt responded that his incentive is what . the market bears, and in an improved marke1 they are able to offer more items for recycling. Councilmember Malone indicated that E-Z Recycling has been the contractor for 10 years, and . questioned Mr. Reinhardt as to what is the current tonnage for the City. Mr. Reinhardt replied that the tonnage has increased each year. He continued that with the addition of telephone directories, aerosol cans, plastics, and now box boards, there is an increased awareness of . recycling. Mr. Reinhardt indicated that the City is recycling approximately 60 tons per month, compared to 40 tons per month 10 years ago. He also noted that collection used to be every other week, and now is every week. . Councilmember Aplikowski indicated that there was a file assembled with the Public Safety Committee that includes different brochures on recycling that could be reviewed and used in . creating a flyer for City residents. She continued that it is important to remind residents about recycling, and that a notice could be included in the next water bill, listing recyclable items and .. dates. Mr. Reinhardt agreed that reminders help increase awareness. Mr. Pritsinger agreed that there was a file assembled that they could review. Councilmember . Aplikowski indicated that the City of New Brighton distributed a good brochure on recycling that Arden Hills could use as well. Councilmember Malone indicated that the City had sent a brochure some years ago but that the . cost was high. He continued that at the time one out of three households were recycling; now that ratio is closer to one out of two. . Councilmember Keim suggested including a reminder in the notice on how to obtain a recycling bin. Mr. Pritsinger replied that currently bins are not available through the City. Residents must . obtain them on their own either through purchasing one at a retail outlet or possibly through the hauler. Councilmember Malone noted that the City distributed bins at one point, then they were sold to recoup cost. . MOTION: Hicks moved and Keim seconded that the Mayor and the City Administrator execute the curbside recycling service agreement with E-Z Recycling as amended . in Section 9.1 for the calendar years of 1996 and 1997. Motion carried unanimously (5-0). . .. . ------ ----------- ------------ I' I ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - DECEMBER 26. 1995 i' 5 Approval of 1996 Liquor Licenses I City Administrator Brian Fritsinger reported to the Council that seven on-sale and off-sale liquor establishments have applied for 1996 license renewals. He continued that background I investigations have been conducted by the Sheriffs Department, the applications have been signed by the Sheriff, the Fire Marshall has completed all on-site inspections, and that the applicants have submitted their first quarter fees and are current on all City License/Permits. I Council member Malone questioned what is the current maximum number of liquor licenses allowed in the City. Mr. Fritsinger replied that it is seven. Councilmember Malone noted that I Charlie Chung's is not on the renewal list and is the one available license. MOTION: Malone moved and Hicks seconded that the 1996 Liquor License renewals be I approved. Motion carried unanimously (5-0). I Approval of 1996 Business/Rubbish Hauler Licenses Community Development Director Kevin Ringwald reported to the Council that Staff has Ie received 11 rubbish hauler license renewals as well as 83 other business license renewals. Mr. Ringwald indicated that they will follow up with those businesses that have not yet paid their 1996 license fees. I Mayor Probst indicated that there is a need to coordinate one to two pick-up days with the various haulers so garbage is not put out every day of the week. Mayor Probst continued that I this issue was brought to the Public Works and Safety Committee, but a solution was not brought to the Council. Mr. Fritsinger reported that in August this was discussed with the Committee, but no final direction was ever taken, possibly due to fear that the competition would lead to I increased prices. I Councilmember Malone indicated that 1here are only a few haulers for the City and suggested that the Public Safety Committee contact them and ask for their help in getting coordinated pick- up days. I Councilmember Aplikowski voiced concern tha11imited pick-up days would be difficult for commercial businesses. Councilmember Malone indicated that limited pickup days would be for I residential only. Mayor Probst agreed that residential was the primary concern for aesthetics as well as possible I health concerns. Mayor Probst requested that the Staff work with the Public Safety Committee on this issue. if I - -. '. ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - DECEMBER 26 1995 6 I Council member Aplikowski indicated this may force the smaller haulers out of the area if they .. cannot comply with specific pick-up days. She continued that it is always good to foster small . business and was concerned about such a mandate. Mayor Probst agreed, but stated that businesses can work around such issues. He continued this . would not be a manda1e but a request that could be done. MOTION: Hicks moved and Malone seconded a motion to approve the 1996 . Business/Rubbish Haulers Licenses as presented. Motion carried unanimously (5- 0). Adopt. Resolution 95-90, Receiving Preliminary Report and Calling for a Public Hearing . for the 1996 Street Improvements Mr. Terry Maurer, MSA, reported to the Council that a preliminary report has been submitted . outlining the 1996 Street Improvement project. He stated that this report will be used to outline . the improvements at the Informational Meetings to be held January 9, 1996, and input based on those meetings will be added prior to the formal Public Hearing scheduled for January 29,1996. He referred to the Feasibility Study packet distributed to the Council. .. Mayor Probst questioned what would occur if residents from the area wanted both Alternate 1 and 2 as indicated in the Study. Mr. Maurer indicated that worst case scenario would be doing a . mix of both Alternates. He indicated that they would propose doing one Alternate in 1996, and one in 1997. Councilmember Hicks questioned if the projects are bid in sections, with a final plan a mix of . Alternate I and 2. Mr. Maurer indicated that it would be either Alternate 1 or 2, but if they meet with resistance and want improvements from both alternates, they will resolve that before the . Public Hearing. Council member Hicks questioned if the bid includes sealcoat and restructuring. Mr. Maurer . responded that they would be obtaining a separate sealcoat bid since it is likely to be $20,000 or more. Mayor Probst stated that he was hopeful that people would attend the informational sessions and . get some guidance on the project. Mr. Fritsinger indicated that notices were sent this week to I area residents. Councilmember Aplikowski reviewed that the presentation of Alternate I will be at 5:30 p.m., . and Alternate 2 will be at 7:00 p.m. on January 9, 1996. .. I I ~. ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - DECEMBER 26. 1995 7 I Councilmember Keim requested that concern has been expressed for the road condition of I Edgewater Avenue and needs to be addressed. MOTION: Malone moved and Aplikowski seconded a motion to adopt Resolution No. 95- I 90, Receiving Preliminary Report and Calling for a Public Hearing for the 1996 Street Improvements. Motion carried unanimously (5-0). I National Guard Payment Mr. Fritsinger reported to the Council that the National Guard has requested reimbursement of I $14,745.20 for the City of Arden Hills share of the water and sewer connection at the National Guard site. In addition, the engineer for the National Guard (MelchertlB10ck Associates) has requested an additional $5,384.42 for other costs associated with the project. I Mr. Fritsinger continued that the City agreed in June 1995 to participate in a project to connect to I municipal water and sewer for the Minnesota Army National Guard, with the City's share of the cost to be between $16,875 and $19,875. The exact cost would be dependent on whether a ten or twelve inch water main was necessary in the public sanitary sewer lift station. .. Melchert/Block Associates stated that a ten inch water main would be adequate to supply the facility. The City Engineer requested calculations proving the facility only needed a ten inch I water service, as well as the City requesting this information in a letter dated July 25, 1995. To date, no information has been provided to the City or Engineer. An additional $734.42 is also due for a tracer wire along the PVC force main. I Mr. Fritsinger stated he initially recommended payment of the $15,479.62 for the City's share in the water and sewer connection project and to authorize Staff to reimburse the National Guard I for the $5,384.42, once appropriate documentation and City Engineer approval is given. However, after discussion with the National Guard earlier today the Guard requested payment only for the amount invoiced. Staffrecommends payment of $14,745.20 and authorization to I reimburse the National Guard for the remainder, once appropriate documentation and City Engineer approval is given. I Councilmember Malone asked what the Guard's position is on the overage. Mr. Fritsinger replied that the Guard has stated it believes it is the City's responsibility to obtain the specific I calculations if that is what is required. Councilmember Aplikowski indicated that the National Guard believes a letter was sent dated I December 14, 1995 with the requested information and that nothing further was needed. Mr. Fritsinger agreed that the National Guard believes this, but the City has been very clear from the ~ start of this project that it was the National Guards responsibility to provide the oversizing calculations. I ~. ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - DECEMBER 26. 1995 8 . -. Mayor Probst staled that the oversize should be viewed as an addition, and therefore not the City's responsibility. . Dwayne Stafford, Public Works Superintendent, reported that Melchert/Block Associates requested flow data for 1996 last week, and that to his knowledge this is the first request for I information recei ved. Councilmember Malone questioned if a new building were to be constructed, what would the . normal water main size be. Mr. Maurer responded that it would depend on how integrated the system is, how many loops, etc. MOTION: Aplikowski moved and Keirn seconded to approve payment of$14,745.20 for . costs associated with water and sewer connection at the National Guard. Upon receipt of the appropriate documentation on the oversizing and approval by the I City engineer, Staff may release the additional funds identified in the contract. Motion carried unanimously (5-0). Adopt. Resolution 95-91. Establishing Fernwood Avenue as a Municipal State Aid Street . Mr. Maurer reviewed that a resolu1ion establishing Femwood Avenue as a Municipal State Aid .. Street is recommended as the City has accumulated 0.67 miles of excess MSA mileage which must be designated to allow the City to receive additional State Aid funds. Mr. Maurer indicated . that Fernwood is the most feasible street to designate in terms of its connections to existing collectors and county roads, and its current and potential future commercial use within an area zoned for Ligh1 Industrial development. He also stated that Fernwood is a street recommended . for reconstruction in 1996 based upon the 1995 Pavement Management program street re-rating, and that reconstructing this street in conjunction with the 1996 improvements allows the City to maximize the use of its existing street maintenance/improvements budget. . Councilmember Malone questioned if the City was clear on ownership of Femwood. He understood that it was owned by Control Data. . Mr. Fritsinger indicated that the portion of the road between Femwood and Lexington is owned by Control Data. This project was similar to Round Lake and Old Highway 10, where Round . Lake Road is designated as an MSA street where it connects to Old Highway 10. This connection is only shown on paper maps. . Mayor Probst questioned if the City can use MSA funds for Highway 96. Mr. Maurer indicated that the City receives $200,000 annually and that the State has changed the rules to make it easier . to use the MSA funds, but if the money is not used, penalties may be applied. .. . ---- I ., ~. ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - DECEMBER 26. 1995 9 I Mayor Probst indicated that there were no issues with Femwood that would not meet the MSA I requirements. Mr. Maurer indicated that it is a wider street now, and it could be narrowed, if needed. Mayor Probst questioned if property owners need to be notified regarding this issue. Mr. Fritsinger indicated that there is no official notice required, for obtaining MSA designation, I but in light of the problems experienced with County Road F, an informational meeting could be considered. I Mr. Fritsinger reported that a section of Fernwood is involved in both Alternates I and 2 of the 1996 Street Improvement project, but that Resolution #95-91 would not affect the project. I MOTION: Hicks moved and Malone seconded a motion to adopt Resolution No. 95-91, Establishing Fernwood Avenue as a Municipal State Aid Street. The motion carried unanimously (5-0). I TCAAP Update I Mr. Fritsinger reported that there was no new information regarding TCAAP. .. ADMINISTRATOR COMMENTS City Administrator Fritsinger reminded the Council that the next meeting is January 2,1996. I COUNCIL COMMENTS I Councilmember Malone reported that Parkshore Apartments have not paid their water bill again this past quarter and Staff has sent a letter to the property owner regarding this matter. He indicated that this occurs every year. I Councilmember Malone asked for clarification on the new Medica health insurance. Mr. I Fritsinger indicated that the City would be getting 100% coverage instead of the current 20% copay. Mr. Malone indicated his pleasure that Staffregularly reviews the benefit package and the employees of the City are getting good health insurance coverage. I Mayor Probst commented that the new office furniture purchase was good, but wants to plan for all the staff, not just a few. Mr. Fritsinger indicated that they are working with an overall color I scheme, and ordering stock items only. Councilmember Hicks questioned what the City's liability would be with its police contractor in I regards to alleged abuse by a policeman. Mr. Fritsinger indicated that the contractor is required to provide insurance for situations such as these, but will research the matter further. ft Councilmember Hicks stated that this hasn't occurred in Arden Hills, but there was a $20 million I ,.-, . ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - DECEMBER 26. 1995 10 .. judgement in San Francisco, which prompted him to consider what would happen in Arden Hills . if such a situation occurred. Councilmember Aplikowski agreed with the previous comments on the furniture change and the I unpaid water bill by Parkshore Apartments. Ms. Aplikowski also had a question regarding the . charitable gambling fourth quarter figures. Mr. Post indicated that final quarterly contributions are due January 20th. Mr. Aplikowski indicated that the charitable gambling groups are requesting a meeting with the Council and suggested invi1ing them to a Worksession. . Councilmember Keirn raised the issue of the Army Reserve being located in Arden Hills, not New Brighton as their stationary states. Mayor Probst and Mr. Fritsinger agreed, but also I commented that the change may take considerable time with the Army. Mayor Probst encouraged the Staff to discuss possible dates for a Worksession retreat to discuss I broader policy issues that need to be addressed. Mayor Probst indicated that the appointment process for the new year will proceed January 2, I 1996 unless any new information is brought before then. Councilmember Hicks requested that a resolution be passed recognizing Darlene Scott, who is .. retiring after 13 years on staff. Mr. Fritsinger will arrange for Ms. Scott to attend possibly the January 8th meeting for recognition. . ADJOURN MOTION: Malone moved and Hicks seconded a motion to adjourn the meeting at 8:45 p.m. . The motion carried unanimously (5-0). . Dennis Probst Brian Fritsinger I Mayor City Administrator NOTICE OF MEETINGS . The next regular Council meeting will be held Monday, January 8, 1995, at 7:30 p.m., at New . Brighton City Council Chambers. I -. I I I CITY OF ARDEN HILLS . MEMORANDUM I DATE: February 7,1996 I TO: Brian Fritsinger, City Administrator I FROM: Terrance Post, City Accountant @ SUBJECT: ReQuest for 1995 ODeratinl! Transfers Authorization I By means of this memorandum, 1 wish to recommend making various budgeted and unbudgeted I operating transfers between funds for the year ended December 31, 1995. General Fund (No. 101) I I. Execute the various budgeted operating transfers out to fund the sinking capital funds as follows: I -$118,750 to Municipal Land & Buildings Fund (No. 408) -$28,750 to Capital Equipment Fund (No. 411) -$47,500 to Fire Equipment Fund (No. 412) I ''f 2. The TCAAP Fund (No. 229) began the 1995 fiscal year with a $100,000 fund balance. During the year, contract payments to Camiros for the base contract and authorized I expanded scope purchase orders have totaled $123,933. Netting $3,407 in allocated interest income against these expenditures has produced a preliminary deficit of I $20,526.74. The recommendation is for a $20,000 unbudgeted operating transfer from the General I Fund to the TCAAP Fund to fund the preliminary operating deficit. 3. Execute a budgeted operating transfer to the Diseased Shade Tree Fund (No. 224). $5,195 I was budgeted to fund the 1995 operating deficit in the Shade Tree Fund. However, the preliminary fund deficit in this fund is $4,071.53. Therefore, an operating transfer of $4,100 is recommended from the General Fund to the Shade Tree Fund.

CITY OF ARDEN HILLS MEMORANDUM I DATE: February 2, 1996 I TO: Brian Fritsinger, City Administrator C# I FROM: Dwayne Stafford, Public Works Superintendent . SUBJECT: Crystal Avenue Traffic I Requests I Several residents have talked to staff and have attended the Public Works/Public Safety meeting on January 18,1996. They have requested a sign stating "No Left Turn to Crystal Avenue, Between 7:00 and 8:00 a.m. on school days." The sign would be installed in the appropriate I location to see if this corrects the problem. Back!!round I Since the installation of stop signs on County Road F and Fairview Avenue, there has been a substantial increase in traffic on Crystal Avenue, between 7:00 a.m. and 8:00 a.m. on school days. It has been determined by the residents of the Crystal area that this traffic is due to .. vehicles heading west on County Road F from Old Highway 10, turning onto Crystal and speeding up Crystal to Fairview, then taking Fairview back to County Road F. This being done to avoid west bound traffic backed up at the stop sign at Fairview. I Additional Background I Since the recommendation, staff has consulted with the Sheriffs deputy assigned to Arden Hills. She would not be in favor of the sign. However, if one is installed she would recommend the right angled arrow with a red circle and slash across arrow indicating no turn. A small separate I 7:00 - 8:00 a.m. school days sign would be placed under this sign. She stated the signs for No Turns on Valentine are too complicated. She also reminded staff that these signs apply to everyone, including residents and that no exceptions can be made. I Also, it has been determined that not all Crystal A venue residents are in favor of a No Turn Sign. I Recommendation The Public Works/Public Safety Committee having discussed this issue at their January 18, 1996 meeting recommends the approval by the City Council of a sign stating "No Left Turn onto I Crystal Avenue. Between 7:00 and 8:00 a.m. on school days." I DS\j1 .e I I I I- CITY OF ARDEN HILLS MEMORANDUM I DATE: February 9, 1996 I TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Brian Fritsinger, City Administrat~ I SUBJECT: 1996 Street Improvement Project I Attached, the City Council will find two letters from residents of Pascal Avenue. These two letters identify additional concerns of the residents. Most of these items were mentioned at the January 29, 1996, meeting. I Staff has been in contact with a number of residents who did no1 attend the Public Hearing. As I of Friday, there were also several residents whom Staff had left messages for, but have not received a response. Staff will continue to respond to calls and questions. I. Of those residents who have been in contact with Staff, there do not appear to be any significant issues to be addressed. Some of the comments received from different areas of the project were: I 1. Pascal A venue - See enclosed letters. 2. Chatham/McCracken - Residents on corner lots expressed concern about I the potential assessments. Reference was made to previous work and assessments on Chatham. I 3. Pine Tree Drive - The businesses would like to have access to their operations clearly defined and interruptions reduced to the greatest extent I possible. 4. Siems Court/Ridgewood Court - Several residents expressed concern I abou1 the assessments. At least one resident does not have access to Ridgewood Court. I The preparation of plans and specifications is proceeding as directed by the City Council. Staff would like to briefly review the intent of the Council as to communicating the final plans wi1h residents of Oak and Pascal A venues. I BF:sae I . I I . --.. .- -Tn ~ jj 7'"' February 3, 1996 !j:jo G ~ !' -;., !:';.~-,~, ;\ . Dear Mayor Probst, I We would like to restate our concerns about the reconstruction of Pascal Ave (which serves 5 households) brought up at the last council meeting January 29,1996. We feel that I the proposed curbs and gutters would have minimal effect of keeping water out of ours and that of our neighbor's yards, due to the high water table in this area. We are highly opposed to a total reconstruction, due to the high per individual cost per household, this I would greatly affect our future retirement income, along with two of our neighbors who are retired living on fixed incomes. We feel that some alternatives such as filling and grading at the end ofPasca! Ave to channel water away from individual homes back into I the street and improving the tar/asphalt curbs to contain the water will resolve the water problem at a fraction of the cost. 1f on the other hand the curbs and gutters are for "aesthetics for the new Arden Hills image" we are highly opposed to this concept at our I expense. We feel what was good for the last 25 years is good for the next 25 years, We hope that you will reconsider ours and that of our neighbor's concerns and all options regarding this matter. ..

City of Arden Hills 1450 West Highway 96 Arden Hills, MN 55112 I Re: Reconstruction of Pascal Avenue Dear Council Members: . We would like to thank you again for listening to our concerns regarding the reconstruction I project. There are two issues that we feel a need to write you about as they were brought up after the hearing. 1. The width of Pascal Avenue varies from County Road E to the end. We are very sure that .. the width between 3631 and 3632 is less than 26 feet as the engineer suggested. The road cannot come any closer to our home with damaging effects. . 2. Susan Kemm suggested that parking not be permitted as the street is too narrow. There has been parking on both sides of the street as long as we have lived there. Granted cars on both sides along with new curbs would make it difficult for a vehicle to pass, but I we strongly suggest parking on one side of the street. We have four family vehicles in the winter and five in the summer parked at our home. There is no place for guests to park in the driveway. . We are going to be out of town on March 11 when you are making your decision. Piease allow us to participate in the plans if you proceed with the reconstruction. We do want the road fixed I but feel allowance must be made to maintain the beauty of this area. ~'8~ . TlaU[{", ~1/ /-t1& . Gene ani! athy Brunette 3631 N.

CITY OF ARDEN HILLS MEMORANDUM I DATE: February 9, 1996 I TO: Brian Fritsinger, City Administrator I FROM: Dwayne Stafford, Public Works Superintendent ~ SUBJECT: Resolution #96-06, Highway 96 I Backl!Tound I The City Council had previously reviewed Resolution #96-06 supporting the reconstruction of Highway 96 and recommending certain design changes to Ramsey County. After discussing the Resolution with Mr. Tolaas, the Project Engineer from Ramsey County, he asked that the City I reword portions of the Resolution to assist his efforts in getting the necessary permits and funding applications approved. I Specifically, staff clarified its support of the Concept Study through the language in the first BE IT RESOLVED statement. However, staff wanted to clearly express the concerns for the project and did so as part of the next section. Other changes made to the Resolution are simply . grammatical. There are still two other issues staff and Ramsey County disagree on. I Issues Item 6 Staff is uncomfortable leaving the storm sewer costs unfixed and has asked that the County be responsible for anything over the estimated $272,500. Ramsey I County states this is not possible and requests additional revisions with this item. Item 7 Staff believes the Arden Hills segments should be scheduled for construction I during 1997 and 1998. It seems natural to start at the busiest end of the roadway and continue east rather than doing a piecemeal construction project. Also, Arden Hills wauts to be sure to get their share of Turnback Funds, while the money is I still available, and feels' a need for the Round Lake Road access to be completed as soon as possible. I Recommendation Staff recommends approval of the modified Resolution #96-06, Supporting the Highway 96 I Reconstruction Concept Study. This Resolution would then be forwarded to the Ramsey County Project Engineer. I I. I 11 .... I CITY OF ARDEN HILLS RAMSEY COUNTY ~ RESOLUTION NO. 96-06 RESOLUTION SUPPORTING THE HIGHWAY 96 I RECONSTRUCTION CONCEPT STUDY. WHEREAS, the State of Minnesota turned back Trunk: Highway 96 to Ramsey County; and I WHEREAS, a Task Force Committee formed by Ramsey County has determined that Highway I 96 be upgraded; and WHEREAS, Ramsey County will receive County State Aid Highway (CSAH) turnback funds I to assist in the upgrade of Highway 96; and WHEREAS, Ramsey County will seek Federal Funding as appropriate to assist in the upgrade I of Highway 96; aud WHEREAS, Ramsey County has requested the affected Cities along the Highway 96 corridor I provide input on their respective segments of the highway and to make recommendations as to their own needs and preferences; aud Ie WHEREAS, the Arden Hills City Council met on February 12, 1996 to review the proposed project and consider its recommendations to Ramsey County. I NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Ardeu Hills, Minnesota that it approves the concept report completed by BRW dated January, 1996. I BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED by the City of Arden I-Iills that the following items be resolved during completion of the Environmental Assessment Worksheet and Final Design Plans: I 1. Council recommends the basic I 0 foot wide bituminous trail without the additional amenities such as; concrete edge bands, colored seal coat, rest areas or lighting, unless the I additional amenities are provided at Ramsey County's expense. The trail should connect to Arden Hills trails where appropriate, would have marked crosswalks at all signalized intersections, and would meet the accessibility requirements of the American's with I Disabilities Act (ADA). 2. Council recommends replacing the proposed sidewalk with a I 0 foot wide bituminous I trail on the north side of the highway at Ramsey County's expense. The north trail would have one rest area by a yet to be determined entrance to the Twin Cities Army I Ammunition Plant (TCAAP). The trail should connect to Arden Hills trails where appropriate, would have marked crosswalks at all signalized intersections, and would meet the accessibility requirements of the American's with Disabilities Act (ADA). it I ..... '1 3. Council recommends the highest level of landscaping utilizing any and all funds available. The highest level of landscaping would be at least five percent of the total I project cost or a tree every fifty feet along the median and the boulevards, whichever is .. greater. 4. Council recommends the basic lighting package, which would include the lighting of all signalized intersections and additional lights at the City Hall and the church entrances for I special safety reasons. The additional lighting provided for safety reasons should be paid for by Ramsey County. Ramsey County will be responsible for coordinating and maintaining lighting continuity along the corridor and between the cities. I 5. Council recommends signalization of all of the identified intersections including the proposed Arden Manor/Round Lake Road intersection when warranted and appropriate. I COlillcil would recommend that Ramsey County provide a progressive signal system to allow vehicles to travel in platoons at a uniform speed through the signalized iutersections without having to stop at a red light. Council also recommends the I incorporation of an Emergency Vehicle Preemption (EVP) system into the basic package at no cost to the City. 6. Council recommends installation of the necessary storm sewer plus one (1) 16 inch I casing for a future watermain crossing at Snelling Avenue. Ramsey County should be I responsible for any storm sewer costs above the $272,500 estimate for the Arden Hills segments. 7. Council recommends that the re-construction of segment #2 be scheduled the year - following the re-construction of segment #1, and further recommends that segrnent #1 be completed in 1997 with segment #2 being completed in 1998. I 8. Council requests that Ramsey County consider the right-of-way requirements for a possible overpass at the Highway 96 and Highway 10 intersection. Council further I recommends that Ramsey County and the Minnesota Department of Transportation explore the relocation of traffic from Highway 10 back onto Interstate 35W so that an overpass is not required in the future at the intersection of Highways 10 and 96. I 9. Council recommends that the City develop a welcome/entry type sign at each end of the Highway 96 corridor. I 10. Council requests pursuing monies from segments with little or no medians to be used for I landscaping on segments where wider medians are being proposed. 11. Council requests preliminary plans for the service road and intersection connecting Arden I Manor to Round Lake Road be completed by Ramsey County no later than February 29, 1996. Preliminary Design for this intersection should be designed at Ramsey County's expense, and be designed in such a manner as to minimize the impact on the Round Lake I wetlands and be aligned with an access to Arden Manor. 12. Council recommends that prior to the approval of a final layout plan by Ramsey County, .. that Ramsey County meet with the Arden Hills City Council to review and coordinate construction recommendations.

There IS a bill pending In the Legislature that would allocate $5m for this purpose - of course I there IS no guarantee that IS will pass or if it does, if it will be funded at this level. The turnaround on this request was short so I composed the attached I reply and sent it to the AMM last Friday. The council may be interested in this and you or Kevin may have some futher (and better) thoughts. In the latter event, you may want to share your ideas with the AMM, I Paul L, Malone I it I ---- UZ7l.T~/:::Jb nor. Lbprn rrom-.ad1 L. J"!o 1 one I' a 9 e--O lIT --Cfr---(TU z. -~ .~. CITYOF ARDE~ HILLS _I l\IBI0RANDU\I I I DATE: February 2, 1996 I TO: Vem Peterson, Executive Director, Association of Metropolitan Municipalities I FROM: Paul L t\lalone, Councilmember. City of Arden Hills SUBJECT: Bill appropriating funds f,x communities complying with the 1995 Land I Planning Act - House File 2460 I Vern: I Thanks for asking for Metropolitan Agencies Committee members' thoughts regarding tbe funding formula that might be used to allocate the potential $5 million in grants that this -- Icgislation is calling for, and which would serve to offset the costs communities will face in complying with the 1995 Land Planning Act. As you know from my earlier correspondence in January of 1995, we believe that Arden Hills will have to spend an amount ranging from I S52,500 to S67,500 to rewritc its Comprehensive Plan as required by the act. Thanks, too, for having enclosed the guidelines for the distribution of grant funds in 1977 and I 1980-1981. I wasn't im'olvcd in our government during these times and this information was helpful in understanding how the allocations were made in the past. In reading through the prior years' guidelines it would seem that just over Sl million was I distributed in 1977 and about $900,000 was allocated in 1980-1981. Although the guidelines for these two periods were apparently similar, the 1980-1981 write-up seemed 1110re clear. In I any event. it looked to me like the grants to the communities were broken into two parts; a base allocation and a needs-based disbursement. Further. it would seem that the allocations varied depending upon the type of area in which a community was located. For example, a fully I developed area received a different proportion of funds than one that was developing, an urban area was granted a different fraction than one which was rural, and so on. Finally, a key part of the fOrt1lUla was based upon need, which was detined based upon per-capita property valuation, I 1 believe that my basic understanding is correct to this point. As was noted above, grants were composed of two parts, a base component and a needs-related component. The base component was divided in half and one-half was awarded in all I circumstanccs. The second half was then adjusted eithcr upward (in areas with low pcr-capita valuations) or downward (areas with high per-capita valuation) and made up the needs-related -. component. The base amounts were $300 in 1977, and S2,000 in 1980-1981. If this is all I ULIU..:J/.:JO Ul.'L.:Jpm r-rOm,raUi L. I"la ione rage UUL Of UtJL .'. Ie Vem Peterson - A~L~-J February 2, 1996 Page 2 I accurate, every community received $150 in 1977 and $1,000 in 19S0-19S1 (half 01'$300 and $2,000 respectively) and more ifthere was a "'needs" faetor. I 1 suppose that this approach is reasonable and politically viable. ''lie in Arden Hills are used to being classified as having no .'needs" and are resigned to paying the way for others. I would also imagine that our city only received half of the base funding amounts in each of the prior I funding rounds, as we probably were regarded as not having further "needs", Pcrhaps the only suggestion I can make might be to use a similar fonnula in this legislation, I with the base amount increased in proportion to the total funds allocated. Approximatety $900,000 was allocated in 1980-1981, which is 18% of the $5 million proposed this year. If the base amount were increased in proportion to the overall funding level, it would amoWlt to I an $11,000 base grant in 1996 (S2,OOO/18%). Otherwise, I imagine that the needs-based portions of the fonnula could remain intact. I There is one other suggestion I would make that relates to an area which was part of the 1977 program but didn't seem to be in the 1980-1981 plan. This was the Special Planning Problems DiscretlonQl)' Fund, as described on page 10. This was directed toward those areas I that had a ""large existing or proposed metropolitan feature or activity within or near their boundaries that significantly and demonstrati\'ely increases the costs of preparing or adopting...their comprehensive pial"..,". I would suggest that such a feature be a part of the .. 1996 funding fonnula in order to deal with major changes in a community's complexion such as, in the case of Arden Hills, the ars~'tlal property which makes up one-third of our land area. This land was given cursory consideration in our earlier plans, but will require close scrutiny in this round.

There was a slight increase in the amount of traffic I investigations, most of these having to do with leaving the scene of property damage accidents. Squads responding to Domestic Aslt. Incidents made four arrests for 5th degree aslts. In a related I matter an Aggravated Aslt. Was reported at the Perkins on the New Years Weekend. This incident involved the shooting of a male victim by his 47 year old brother. The suspect in this case was arrested at a later time. He has been charged with Attempted Murder and is currently being I held on $100,000.00 bail. The victim in this case will survive. Attached to this months reports you will find a map. This is part of the crime analysis process I being implemented. The map shows the locations of burglaries that occurred in Arden Hills in 1995. We hope to add plotting for Thefts from Autos, Domestic Aslts., and Criminal Damage to Property cases. .. I I I I I .

The Sheriffs Department is excited about this new . program and possibilities for more proactive policing. The Shoreview Public Safety Committee is inviting members of other public safety I committees in police contract cities, as well as all City Managers in the contract cities. We would also like you to invite any of your city's elected or appointed officials who might be interested in this information. I The meeting will be at 7:30 p.m. February 22, 1996 in the Council Chambers of the Shoreview City Hall, 4600 N. Victoria Street (at Highway 96).

Fax: (612) 638-9900 I February 2, 1996 I Mr. Dwayne Stafford Public Works Superintendent City of Arden Hills I 1450 West Highway 96 ArdenHills,MN 55112"5794 I Dear Mr. Stafford: It is my understanding that snow removal from Arden Hills' streets is one of your I responsibilities. I want to commend you and your staff for doing a highly responsi ve and competent job this winter despite the ice storm, several heavy snowfalls and record low temperatures. I I work out of my home office at the front of the house and have personally observed the variety of vehicles employed to remove the snow. The operators have worked very quickly to clear the circle in front of our house and yet have been careful not to dig up the grass nor .- topple the mailbox. Yesterday, I watched a front loader clear out the pile around the fire hydrant. None of these jobs can be easy with as many miles of streets needing removal and the job must be tedious at times. I commend you, one and all, for the very I professional performance of your jobs. There is still a lot of winter to go. It is my wish that all of the future storms will be light and mild. . Thanks for ajob well done. I Sincerely yours, I < I I ~. I I
