City Issues - Short Term I 1. 1996 Ramsey County Street Improvement Plans Staff has made the Council aware of several County street projects proposed for 1996. In addition, the revised County c.I.P. has been received which identifies I several other local projects. Staff would like to review some of the issues related to these projects with the I City Council. Several of these have an impact on the 1996 budget in an unanticipated manner. I d. City Issues - Long Term 1. TC Field - Insurance-Coverage Staff would like the City Council to meet the new Insurance Agent of Record, Mr. I Mark Lenz. Mr. Lenz will be in attendance to update the Council on the status of the insurance coverage carried by the City. I 2. Non-Agenda Items a. March 8. 1996 LMC Cities Bulletin I b.

Joint Facility Bondin!! Bill Request I have been at the State Capital every day for the past 2 weeks working on our bonding request. It has turned out to be a very political request and as of the preparation of this I document, the request has not been included in either Committee Bill. I will have more information on Monday. I f. March 12, 1996 Thank You From Patty Horton g. Lake Johanna Volunteer Fire Department Items I The Fire Department has begun tearing down Old Station No.2 in North Oaks. Until such time that this building is replaced, all calls will be serviced from the three remaining I stations. Mr. Post has also been notified that the Department rebuilt #761 rather than charging the City for capital expenditures. The Council may recall that the Department I had proposed this as a capital expenditure during the 1996 budget process. This expenditure was not supported by Mr. Post. h. January Tax Settlement Update I Mr. Post has done some additional research to document recent tax settlements. It appears almost one hundred percent ofrefunds to petitioners was directly attributable to CPI. The I good news is it appears the County may have over withheld tax settlement funds for petitions received. If this is the case the City could have a positive May Tax Settlement. Staff will keep the Council updated. .. i. February 28.1996 Parks & Recreation Committee Meeting Minutes j. CPI Economic Recovery Grant I Mr. Ringwald is nearing completion on the grant application from CPI to DTED. The process had been delayed for an extended period of time as a result of CPI' s internal I review process requirements. The State should begin its review of the application over the next couple of weeks. I , I I I I .. I -. CITY OF ARDEN HILLS .. MEMORANDUM I DATE: March 12, 1996 I TO: Brian Fritsinger, City Administrator FROM: Dwayne Stafford, Public Works Superintendent I I SUBJECT: Worksession Public Works Roundtable Items I MN DOT Highway Improvement The City of Arden Hills Public Works Superintendent has been informed by MN DOT of I Highway Improvements scheduled this coming summer in Arden Hills. Specifically, Highway 51 will be overlayed from Interstate 694 South to the County Road E area. Highway 10 from 694 Northwest to Interstate 35W will be milled and overlayed. Neither of these segments will be I closed, however traffic would be restricted to single lanes during construction. EVP (Emergency Vehicle Preemption) I In every meeting with the Ramsey County Public Works Department concerning reconstruction or upgrading county roads it has been advised by the County that a EVP system be installed with any new traffic signals. It has been the County's policy not to pay for the EVP system and to .- assess the Cities for costs. Mr. Stafford would like Council to provide direction on how to respond to the County's advise on installing EVP and what funding would be used. I Old 10 Watermain Mr. Stafford has prepared a report asking that the segment of 6 inch waterline between County I Road F and Valentine be replaced due to an unusual amount ofrepairs on this segment. Since that report Mr. Stafford has made another report asking Council to consider finishing the unfinished segment ofwatermain between Wedgewood Circle and Highway 96. In the cost I estimate Mr. Stafford has not included engineering fees or contractor profit. If Council approves construction of one or both segments staff will order plans and specifications be drawn. I I I ~. I I ----- -- I' , , Ie CITY OF ARDEN HILLS I MEMORANDUM I DATE: March 12, 1996 TO: Brian Fritsinger, City Administrator I FROM: Dwayne Stafford, Public Works Superintendent I SUBJECT: Installation of Unfinished Watcrmain on Old Highway 10 I Background One segment ofwatermain on Old Highway 10 has never been constructed. This is in the area south of Highway 96 running along the west shoulder to just north of Wedge wood Circle. This I segment, would complete a natural loop of the entire Round Lake area and provide water service to the adjacent property, plus it would make a simple task of isolating this area from the areas east of the freeway (New and Old Highway 10). Enclosed is a drawing of the referenced area. I Old Hi~hway 10 Overlay As discussed in previous memos, the Ramsey County Public Works Department plans to overlay .. Old Highway 10 between County Road F and Highway 96 this coming summer. Being considered are paved shoulders and a trail on the western shoulder of the Old Highway. The replacement of the six (6) inch watermain between County Road F and Valentine earlier I identified as needing replacement, is also being considered. This watermain would lay under the new shoulders. I Recommendation Staff recommends consideration by Council to complete the unfinished segment ofa 12 inch I watermain and install six (6) hydrants and residential service lines to the approximately 20 homes along this segment. I Costs Staff has estimated the costs of this 12 inch line, including 20 house services, six (6) fire hydrants and necessary fittings and valves to be $76,500. This includes $58,500 for materials I and $18,000 for labor and equipment. If the main line was reduced to eight (8) inches, a savings of $15,000 would be made to bring the I total cost down to an estimated $61,500. Stafffeels an eight (8) inch line would be adequate, however, they have not discussed this project with the City Engineer. Engineering costs have not been included in staffs estimate. I ,. I , 'I .... Payment el As staff interprets the assessment policy, most of the construction costs would be assessable. The costs of the watermain piping above six (6) inches in a residential area would not be assessable to the property owners. The City water utility fund would have to pay for the I difference in size be it 8 or 12 inch. In this case, the unassessable amount on an eight (8) inch line would be $7,000 and $24,500 on a 12 inch line. I I I I I I ..

Enclosed is a list of these projects taken from a complete county list provided by Ramsey County. I Budl:et Concerns Four or Five projects from Ramsey County have came up since Mr. Stafford came aboard last I July. In each case with little or no warning staff is being asked to approve a county project ASAP which has unbudgeted costs to the City of Arden Hills. The Public Works Department feels it may be appropriate to ask the County for a one year advance notice of any expected costs Ie for the City so it can be budgeted.

CITY OF ARDEN HILLS MEMORANDUM I DATE: March 12, 1996 I TO: Brian Fritsinger, City Administrator Dwayne Stafford, Public Works Superintendent ~ I FROM: SUBJECT: Lexington Avenue (Larpenteur to County Road E) I Background I The Ramsey County Department of Public Works has identified the segment of Lexington A venue between Larpenteur and County Road E, for milling and overlay this coming construction season. Included in this project are, the addition of several turn lanes, the I modification of a railroad crossing and rehabilitate, add, and interconnect the signal system along this route. I Affecting Arden Hills would be new signals at the County Road D intersection, at which the County proposes an EVP (Emergency Vehicle Preemption) system. .- Mr. Stafford has taken several complaints from residents who use County Road D to enter Lexington Avenue, since his arrival last July. . Mr. Stafford inspected the intersection, and found visibility to the north when approaching Lexington from County Road D is severely restricted, and a signal at this location would be beneficial to the local residents. It is bad enough that most residents prefer cutting through the I adjacent park to enter Lexington where visibility is better. I With permission from the Ramsey County Parks Department, Arden Hills Public Works has been plowing a road through the park all winter for the County Road D residents safety. I Project Costs The Engineers estimate for this project is approximately 1.5 million dollars, of which they expect Federal Funding for 80 percent of the cost. I Arden Hills Costs The new signals at County Road D and Lexington are expected to cost approximately $98,000, I of which Federal Funding is expected to pickup 80 percent. Of the remaining $19,600 the County will pay 75 percent and the County asks that Arden Hills and Roseville split the remaining 25 percent. This brings the cost of the signals to $2,450 to Arden Hills. I " I I The EVP system is expected to cost approximately $8,000, which includes remote sensors, as the .1 signal will be at a curve which necessitates remotes. Here again, the County expects 80 percent Federal Funding and the remaining $1,600 would be split between Arden Hills, Shoreview and I Roseville, as the County does not participate in EVP costs. This brings the Arden Hills cost of the EVP system to $533. I In addition, to the $2,983 cost for the signals and EVP system the County asks that we pay them a 6 percent engineering fee, which brings the total cost to Arden Hills to $3,162. I Maintenance All maintenance of the signals will be performed by the County at its expense. I Shoreview, Roseville and Arden Hills would be expected to split the electric bill. Shoreview 25 percent, Roseville 50 percent and Arden Hills 25 percent. I All maintenance of the EVP System would be performed by the County, but at the City's expense. Shoreview 25 percent, Roseville 50 percent and Arden Hills 25 percent. I Relluest The County requests Arden Hills staff and Council to review and approve the plans and I agreement enclosed. They would provide updates on low bid and any substantial changes to cost participation. . Recommendation The Public Works Department recommends that Council review plans and decide if approval is appropriate. . I I I I I I .. I I I.

The freeze has a multi-year impact: . rlISt year. Freeze on levy and property values I . Second year. 3% or less levy and 5% assessment increase limit . Third year: ?'1?n I If the legislators fear the breaking dam -~ they may just extend the levy limit on and on and on! There is no guarantee for refolID. Future legislator.; can extend the levy limit on and 00 and on! The 1997 freeze and 19981imit will impact labor contraCtS and pay equity, neither I of which are frozen.

I The minutes of the January 25,1996 were approved with the corrected spelling "Councilperson Susan Keirn". .. A hearty "Thank You" was extended to Carl Rundquist for his long service on the Finance Conunittee since 1979. We will miss his insight on subjects before the I committee. I Terry Post reviewed the City's fmances: 1. General Fund shonfall vs budget of approximately I $31,000 due primarily to property tax revenue miss from CPI campus pending valuation petitions. I 2. Building permits are up-mainly non residential I 3. Expenditures are up versus budget in the police and fire sectors. With I final adjustments by these organizations, expenditures should return to budgeted levels. I 4.

Senior discount rates versus equity to all Arden Hills residents. I 2. Increase in sewer rates since 1986 has been largely due to higher I bond amortization costs for Metro Sewer Commission. Reduced Federal funding. I 3. The matter of well water finding its way into the sewer system. I 4. Consider a flat base, such as the fall quarter which does not involve I heavy outside water usage, to develop a customized sewage rate which is volume based for each individual user. I Conclusion. we have an opportunity to eliminate preferences for certain groups, and remove non customized minimum charges in order to arrive at rates which are more .1 equally spread among all residential users in Arden Hills. Chuck Mertensotto will draft a letter addressed to Arden Hills residents who are I employed in the financial and accounting industry as we seek new Finance Committee members. Terry Post met with the City of Roseville regarding possible use ofVactor equipment I (grit chamber cleaning) on a part time basis. Meeting adjourned at 9:08 p.m. . I I I I ..

I ARMY RESERVE CENTER (HWY 96 & LEXINGTON CLASSROOM) I CALL TO ORDER I Parks & Recreation Director, Cindy Walsh called the meeting to order at 7:05 p.m. I ROLL CALL I Present were Chair Megan Ricke, Anita Larson, Don Messerly, Mary Robinson, Dorothy McClung, Lynette Kreidler, Beverly Aplikowski, Council Liaison; Cindy Walsh, Parks & Recreation Director; and Tracy Petersen, Program Supervisor. I Absent were Maureen Bodene and Louis Speggen. APPROVE MINUTES I. Minutes recorded by Julie Tostenson. The Minutes were approved unanimously. Motion by Lynette Kreidler, seconded by Beverly Aplikowski to approve minutes. I COUNCIL REPORT I Beverly Aplikowski stated that at the last Council meeting the Council voted to put $2,000 towards the playstructure request without the money coming out of the Community Services Fund. The Highway 96 project was discussed and it was stated that I we need to get the City pushed up on the list, so the construction can start a lot sooner. In 1998, New Brighton to Highway 10 was slated for construction. The Street Management I program was discussed, the Arden Hills residents do not seem to want the roads fixed, part of that is due to having tQ pay the assessments. The residents would rather have the roads recycled. Some of the residents did not want to change the look of the roads and I areas. The Council approved the Gambling License for St. Mary's at Holiday & Bingo Hall. On Friday, March 1, there will be a CouncillStaffRetreat. The Buetow Planning Case was approved. There was a Proclamation to Kevin Fuller at the Council meeting. I The County Road F contractor was given his last payment. ~. I I I .. I. TRAIL DEVELOPMENT The Committee added two segments to the trail plan. The first was North Snelling I Avenue, (west side). The second one is, Fernwood and County Road F (west side). When the Fernwood Avenue street is reconstructed, a trail should be constructed to access the existing trail system around Cummings Park at County Road F. I There is a small trail segment on County Road D North to Cleveland to be done this year. I The County is doing some of the road work and MSA Funds will probably pay for most of the trail segment. The Committee needs to discuss how to prioritize the future trail segments, when the Committee receives more information about what roads are being I reconstructed. Cooperative Trails Grant I With legislature approval, the City of Arden Hills will hopefully receive a Cooperative Trails Grant funded by the MN DNR. The grant would potentially fund $45,000, which is approximately 50 percent of the project cost. I The first segment from Arden Vista Court South to Colleen is currently being bid out to contractors. This segment plus the two alternatives could be funded in 1996, if the City I receives the grant. The remaining segment could be done in 1997. ISTEA Funding I. Old Highway 10 from Bethel College to Highway 96 trail segment could be eligible for ISTEA Funding. I The trail on Old Highway 10, is within the street easement. The trail would probably go on the west side. The County will be doing recycling of the street, maybe this year. The I City is supposed to replace the watermain. The City would have the County's support if the City applied for any funds. I ISTEA pays for 80 percent and the City pays for 20 percent, except there is no engineering fees covered in that 80 percent. I It is very hard to prioritize any of the trail segments, because a lot of it is based on what happens with the roads and tne funding. I County Road E2 has an offroad trail, there would be adequate easements to have an off- road trail at some time. New Brighton Road should be proposed. I ARBOR DAY ~. The City is planning on an Eagle Scout to help with the project and possibly the Rotary. Part of the landscaping at Perry Park would be done, and trees would be donated. Other sources for helping out could be, Land O'Lakes Recycling Program and the High School Civic's classes. I I J' .. . GA TEW A Y FLOWER PLANTING -. The City needs volunteers for the County Road F Flower beds. Cindy will send out I letters. The Committee needs to decide to what extent to do the upgrading on the Flower bed on the South side of County Road E. I Banners Banners could be a possibility, the Committee needs to discuss this in further detail at the I next Committee meeting. DEPARTMENT REPORTS . Program Reoort Tracy stated that the rink usage is consistent with last winter due to the weather. I Cummings rink got a lot more use than last winter. The First Annual Easter Egg Hunt is scheduled for Saturday, April 6 at Cummings Park. Staff is looking for sponsors to support the Easter Egg Hunt. . There has been a new group formed with other Cities to work onjoint recreation programs together. We will be doing the summer trips with Shoreview and Roseville. I Directors Reoort The Perry Park Grand Opening may be scheduled for June 1, 1996. The Committee needs to generate people to come to the activities. The Little League team and Girls .e fastpitch could play on the fields that day. Could have a concession stand, maybe ajazz band from the school, and activities geared towards families. Staff needs to contact all I the business that donated money towards Perry Park and let them know about the events at Perry Park. I Arden Manor The City is very limited in their efforts as to what they can do until the owner fixes the drainage problem. I NEXT MEETING I The date of the next Park & Recreation Committee meeting will be Tuesday, March 19, 1996, at 7:00 p.m. I ADJOURNMENT The meeting was adjourned at 9:10 p.m. . I. I I --------
