The Council is asked to adopt Resolution #96-63, electing to participate in the
Local Housing Incentives Account Program under the Metropolitan Livable
I Communities Act This resolution is required if the City Council determines that
its continued participation in the Livable Communities program is appropriate.
One change is a requirement for the City to actually incur cost in this area during
I 1997. This cost is negligible, however, and staff supports our continued
involvement.
I b. Resolution #96-66. Setting Goals for Participating in the Livable

I The Council is asked to adopt Resolution #96-66, setting the goals for

c. Resolution #96-62. Receiving Preliminary Report and Ordering Public
Hearing. 1997 Street Improvements
The Council is asked to adopt Resolution #96-62, receiving the Preliminary
Report and calling a Public Hearing in the matter of the 1997 Street Improvement

significantly higher than previous years' street projects completed without the
assistance of MSAS dollars, The preliminary reconstruction assessment rate is
estimated at $37.80. This rate includes several construction options which the

options, the rate should be reduced to a level more consistent with historical rates.

Committees and Board of Directors: I will be attending this meeting on behalf of

Mayor Probst advised he will be out of town on November 6, 1996, and asked if a quorum will I

PUBLIC COMMENTS
Mayor Probst invited the audience to address the Council on any issue not already on the agenda. I
There were no public comments, I
UNFINISHED AND NEW BUSINESS
A. Reconsideration of Planning Case #95-23, Homes by James I
Kevin Ringwald, Community Development Director, advised the new property owner has asked I
the Council to reconsider one of the conditions of Planning Case #95-23, Beutow RLS
Subdivision, because they would like to change the driveway location from the southwesterly
side of 1417 Forest Lane. He explained the property owner hired a professional forester to I
review the site and develop a different plan since following the conditions of approval results in
the removal of nine trees and a driveway with an 18 percent slope, which is relatively steep and
possibly a safety hazard. Mr. Ringwald advised the forester prepared two plans, one with a "Z" I
driveway configuration starting at the southeast comer resulting with nine trees removed and a
1 0% driveway slope. The second plan shows the driveway on the easterly side and the removal
of nine trees and a 12% driveway slope. Mr. Ringwald noted that the forester is of the opinion I
that two of the trees to be removed in the last option have a high potential to die due to current
cracking. Staff is comfortable with the requestcd modification and talked with the adjacent --
property owner (Dorothy Pederson, 1409 Forest Lane) who indicated she is also comfortable as
I
.

I'
I ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - OCTOBER 28. 1996 3
tI long as the proposal does not result in the removal of any more trees and protects the mature
trees. Staff recommends an additional slight modification to address silt fence issues across the
I front of the property and in two other locations. With that modification, staff recommends
approval to the modifications of the Beutow plat.
I Councilmember Hicks asked if the floor plan will be reversed and the garage moved from the
western to eastern side of the house. Mr. Ringwald stated this is correct. Councilmember Hicks
questioned the rationale for the original driveway location restriction. Mr. Ringwald explained
I that due to the large number of mature trees on the site, the Beutow's were required to submit a
plan which indicated how they would preserve the maximum number of trees. Councilmember
Hicks noted the requested modification results in a similar loss of trees but provides a better
I driveway slope.
I The applicant indicated he had nothing to add to staffs presentation.
MOTION: Malone moved and Hicks seconded a motion to approve the change in driveway
I location to the easterly side at 1417 Forest Lane with the modification to include
the silt fence as recommended by staff. The motion carried unanimously (5-0).
Ie B. Creation of Building Inspector Position
Mr. Fritsinger advised the Council is asked to consider the creation of a permanent full-time
I Building Inspector position and reviewed the proposed job description as drafted by staff. It was
noted the creation of this position was first considered as part of the preliminary 1997 Budget
and again at the October 21,1996, Council Worksession. He advised the rationale for this
I consideration is to provide better customer service and cost savings. Mr, Fritsinger eXplained
consideration is recommended at this time due to the requirement to provide a 60-day notice to
David Kriesel, Inc., and to allow adequate transition time for the new employee.
I Mr. Fritsinger reviewed the suggested areas of responsibility as contained in the proposed job
I description and recommended Council authorize the creation of the full-time Building Inspector
position and to provide the consultant with a 60-day notice.
I Councilmember Malone stated while it should be more cost effective to out-source this type of
work, he understands that in this instance, it is not the case, He noted the advantage of providing
increased customer service and availability. Councilmember Malone emphasized that this
I consideration has nothing to do with the performance of the consultants who have provided an
excellent service to the City of Arden Hills but, rather, is a financial and customer service
consideration.
I Councilmember Aplikowski concurred and noted a length of time will be needed to build up the
.. level of expertise with the new hiree.
I
'1
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - OCTOBER 28. 1996 4 I
Mayor Probst agreed and commented on the need to address this type of consideration (use of ..
consultant versus employee) on a case-by-case basis.
MOTION: Hicks moved and Aplikowski seconded a motion to authorize the creation of a I
full-time Building Inspector position and direct staffto advertise such position
immediately and give the current affected service providers (David W. Kriesel,
Inc. and Gene Pakoy) a 60-day notice that the City will be terminating its I
relationship with them and relay to them the rationale is cost savings and to
provide better customer service to residents, I
Councilmember Keirn questioned who will assume responsibility should this position not be
filled within 60 days. Mr. Fritsinger stated he does not believe this will present a problem but I
will address it with the consultant
Councilmember Hicks asked statTto prepare comparative cost data on out-sourcing inspection I
services versus hiring an employee and the cost savings which would have been realized if an
employee had been hired in past years. He requested that this information be available at the
upcoming truth-in-taxation meetings and commented it will help to address questions on the I
increase to staff level, should it be raised.
Councilmember Aplikowski inquired whether any duties have been added to the current job fl
description. Mr. Ringwald noted the mention regarding knowledge of computers so they are able
to track permit applications.
The motion carried unanimously (5-0). I
c. Review Chapters 1 and 2 - Arden Hills City Code I
Mr. Fritsinger requested the Council provide input on Chapters I and 2 of the Arden Hills City I
Code. He noted that Chapter 1 has been reorganized and the only two significant additions or
changes have been to add Section 120.05, Issuances of Summonses, and to change the language
in Section 120.03 to address fines. I
With regard to Chapter 2, Mr. Fritsinger advised there are six issues to address: Section 210.02,
Salaries, reflecting the salary changes made several years ago; Section 210.03, Council Meetings, I
incorporating new language; Section 220.03, Human Rights Commission, deleting based on
previous Council action; Section 220.05, Fire Department, adding new language as
recommended by the LMC; Section 230, Civil Defense, appointing Ramsey County as the I
responsible agency; and, Section 240, which will be deleted and replaced by a personnel policy.
Mr. Fritsinger advised that with regard to Section 2.10.03, Council meeting dates, the City I
Attorney has advised that the Council is not required to hold a meeting right after the first of the
year and those appointment issues can be handled at the first rcgular meeting of the month. ..
I
.
J
I'
I ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - OCTOBER 28. 1996 5
te Councilmember Hicks noted if this reference is removed, the Council could still schedule a
special meeting after the first of the year so he supports removing it since the Council can
I maintain that flexibility. However, Councilmember Hicks indicated support for holding the first
meeting of the year just after January I st to allow new Councilmembers to get involved
immediately instead of having to wait for two weeks.
I Mayor Probst stated he does not support adding things to the Code if it is not required. He asked
if the meeting dates (first and last Monday) need to be specified in the Code or could simply
I indicate "twice a month".
I Mr. Fritsinger noted the Council has reviewed Section 2.40 which deals with personnel issues
and discussed removing it from the Code and adopting a personnel policy by resolution,
I Mayor Probst reviewed the definition of "terms" as indicated in Chapter I, Pages 1-9, and
suggested the examples used be pertinent to the Code. He also supported the use of the word
"administrator", Mr. Fritsinger explained under the Code it can be called "city administrator",
I "city clerk", or "clerk administrator" just as long as it is consistent.
Mayor Probst stated if there are no objections he would suggest using the term "administrator"
Ie consistently.
Councilmember Malone provided some background by explaining that in an Optional A city
I (such as Arden Hills), the chief position is a "clerk administrator" and according to State law,
there is no "administrator" it is "clerk administrator". He suggested the Code conform with the
State's use of terminology.
I Council member Malone stated he believes the City of Arden Hills outgrew the status of Optional
I A some time ago and believes Optional B is a better classification for the City. However, such a
change must be done at a general election. Councilmember Malone explained that with an
Optional B classification, the term would be "city manager".
I Mayor Probst suggested that, perhaps, this is a good time to work towards a change in
classification to Optional B.
I Councilmember Aplikowski asked how many Code changes would be needed if Arden Hills
becomes an Optional B city. Mr. Fritsinger explained this chapter and the personnel policy
I would be impacted; however, with this codification the City will have the documents on
computer disk and be better able to make a change.
I Councilmember Hicks stated it may be wordy to use "clerk administrator" and suggested a better
term for the lead employee is "administrator". Councilmember Aplikowski concurred and added
.. that the term "clerk" brings to mind a different sort ofresponsibility.
Councilmember Malone stated he has no objection to the use of the term "administrator".
I
'I
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - OCTOBER 28. 1996 6 I
Mayor Probst recommended that all of the committees not be included in the Code except for the -.
Planning Commission and EDA. Mr. Fritsinger commented on the need for EDA by-laws to
address how it operates.
Mayor Probst noted the Code indicates the Planning Commission "shall review" property I
purchases but this has not always been done with the purchase of park property, He asked that
this procedure be followed. I
Rather than the Code being silent on the issue of fire and police protection, Mayor Probst I
suggested it include identification on how that aspect is being handled (contracted).
Councilmember Malone stated while he understands the Mayor's comments, there is no statutory I
requirement to do either and it may be better to be silent due to liability issues.
With regard to Civil Defense, Mayor Probst suggested an emergency response procedure be I
detailed in the Code.
Councilmember Hicks stated he does not know when Council salaries was last revisited but it I
may be appropriate to direct staff to survey other cities of comparable size in the north metro area
to determine what their Council and Mayor salaries are. He noted that these are minimal
compensations but he believes it is important to revisit on a regular basis to assure the salaries J
are current. It was noted that this issue had been recently surveyed and discussed.
Councilmember Aplikowski suggested the Code be written to not identify the actual salary. I
Councilmember Malone stated he believes Statutes require the salary to be included.
Council member Malone agreed with Mayor Probst's suggestion to remove the fire department I
section as well as committees but to retain the section referencing the Planning Commission.
Councilmember Aplikowski asked if the term "acting mayor" in Section 210.03, subdivision 5c, I
could be substituted with "deputy mayor" throughout. She stated she believes "deputy mayor" is
easier to define. Councilmember Malone stated he supports "acting" since it is not meant to have I
a second-in-command connotation.
Councilmember Aplikowski pointed out two incorrect word usages to which Mr. Fritsinger I
indicated corrections will be made.
Discussion ensued regarding Ramsey County assistance with emergency preparedness and I
procedures. Mr. Fritsinger stated he will contact the County official in charge to obtain more
information.

.. D. Resolution #96-64, Adopting and Confirming Special Assessments for Delinquent
Utilities
I Mr. Fritsinger advised the Council is asked to adopt Resolution #96-64, certifying delinquent
utilities which will allow the City to specially assess $15,613.08 in past-due utility bills and add
I an eight percent certification penalty. It was noted this represents 37 different customers.
I Mayor Probst noted this is the lowest amount of delinquent utilities to be specially assessed in
the past .five years.
I Councilmember Aplikowski inquired why residents do not pay their utility bill and whether it
was a form of protest. Terry Post, City Accountant, stated there may be three distinct categories
of delinquent customers: 1) repeat customers who choose not ta pay since they know the City
I does not engage in water shutoff; 2) temporary financial difficulties; and, 3) large commercial
accounts (e.g., apartments) which staff has made extra efforts to collect prior to delinquency
status.
I MOTION: Malone moved and Keim seconded a motion ta adopt Resolution #96-64,
Adopting and Confirming Special Assessments for Delinquent Utilities. The
Ie motion carried unanimously (5-0).
ADMINISTRATOR COMMENTS
I Mr. Fritsinger advised the community survey has not yet been received but will be mailed to the
Council as soon as it is available. He suggested the Council may wish to consider a question be
I drafted regarding the form af government for the City of Arden Hills (Optional A or Optional B).
I Mr. Fritsinger updated the Council that progress continues on the Quad Ice Arena at the National
Sports Center in Blaine. Mayor Probst expressed concern regarding the Master Agreement and a
number of issues which he has serious questions about.
I Councilmember Hicks concurred the draft agreement does not appear to layout those conditions
in detail. Mr. Fritsinger clarified there are two additional agreements which provide greater
I detail. Mayor Probst noted that prior to final consideration, the Council needs ta have all
documentation available for review to assure cohesiveness.
I Mr. Fritsinger noted the informational flyer relating to suspicious vehicles, which will be
distributed to neighborhoods near Valentine Hills Elementary Schaol and Stowe Avenue, and
requested Council's input prior to the scheduled distribution.
I Mr. Fritsinger updated the Council regarding staffs discussion with Arden Manor residents and
.. that Ramsey County has not followed through with providing residents requested information.
He stated he will remind Ramsey County of the Council's request that they meet with these
residents to answer their questions.

COUNCIL COMMENTS ..
Councilmember Hicks inquired regarding park dedication for a connecting trail for the Katie
Lane area. Mr. Fritsinger explained it was platted as an outlot, not dedicated to City, and the I
actual transfer of the property has never taken place. He advised that Ms. Walsh and Mr.
Ringwald are currently working with City Attorney and the property owner on how that property
can be transferred to the City. I
Councilmember Hicks advised of a resident's (NorthT own Home Association) comment that they I
were happy in their work with Ms. Walsh and how the trail is working out. He extended his
appreciation to Ms. Walsh for her work with these residents.
Council member Malone reported the Fire Association's meeting is upcoming and advised of I
issues he will address with them.
Councilmember Aplikowski commented on the narrow road width proposed for Highway 96 in I
North Oaks and asked if the Arden Hills segment cannot be designed similarly. Mr. Fritsinger
commented on the need to correct traffic issues and asked if the County and City would be I
satisfied to "live with" additional traffic on existing intersections.
Mayor Probst added that there are also no left turn lanes within that segment. Mr, Fritsinger J
noted that the trail will be built through North Oaks, which would not be possible with
Councilmember Aplikowski's suggestion.
Councilmember Aplikowski reported on the Businessman's Luncheon which was attended by 17 I
and thal a primary concern was with signage, She advisedlhat several allenders volunteered to
serve on a task force to provide input and expressed their desire for signage to identifY the I
business location. Councilmember Aplikowski requested that the Businessman's membership
receive a copy of the City newsletter. I
Councilmember Aplikowski stated her understanding that Cottage Villas is a senior complex and
advised it is currently renting to those under 50 years of age. Mr. Fritsinger explained that a I
certain number of units can be rented to those under 50 years of age. Councilmember
Aplikowski noted that all of the Cottage Villa promotional materials identify it as senior housing.
Councilmember Keirn asked when the County Road D project will be completed. Dwayne I
Stafford, Public Works Superintendent, stated he is unsure but will check and advise the Council.
The Council requested staff call the contractor to encourage expedient completion. I
Mayor Probst stated he likes the department head reports and asked Mr. Stafford about the Public
Works Committee which is meeting every other month. Mr. Stafford explained that in October, I
the Committee toured City facilities but only one member attended.

. ' Mayor Probst expressed his concern with regard to leaf pick-up during street sweeping and
suggested that, perhaps, the Council should add some "teeth" to the ordinance to provide an
ability to convince residents they should not put these items (leaves and grass) in City streets.
, Mayor Probst stated his surprise about the Met Council Waste Water Division announcement
that since the volume was not as high as expected, it would increase the rate. He commented this
r is an absurd billing procedure, to be able to increase billing rates at will if the volume is under
anticipated levels, and should be changed.
I Mr. Post advised that the Met Council Environmental Services Division's ability to bring in SAC
Revenue Funds attempt to provide a safety valve in pricing to fund operating budget shortfalls is
. limited by State Statute.
Councilmember Malone advised it takes a State law to change the procedures of the Met Council
I Environmental Services. Last year it requested a billing change before the Legislature but the
bill was vetoed by the Governor so they will pursue it again in the next session.
ADJOURN
MOTION: Hicks moved and Aplikowski seconded a motion to adjourn the meeting at
I 8:52 p.m. The motion carried unanimously (5-0).

MEMORANDUM
I DATE: November 12, 1996
I TO: Mayor and City Council .
Kevin Ringwald, Community Development Director ~
FROM:
I
SUBJECT: Resolution 96-63, Metropolitan Livable Communities Act
I Request
The City Council is requested to consider the adoption of Resolution 96-63, electing to
I participate in the Local Housing Incentives Account Program (the Program) under the
Metropolitan Livable Communities Act (the Act) for the calendar year of 1997 (Exhibit A).
I Discussion
The City of Arden Hills elected to participate in the Act on an annual basis. The City's
participation in the Act in calendar year 1996 resulted in a $300,000 grant (forgivable loan) to
.. Cardiac Pacemakers Incorporated to retain (540 jobs) and expand (90 jobs) employment at their
corporate campus in Arden Hills. Also, the City received a $10,000 grant (matching) from the
Metropolitan Council Environmental Services to analyze water infiltration problems in the City's
I sanitary sewer system. Lastly, the City, as part of the 1-35W Coalition, is attempting to obtain
various grants for 1997 to assist in the collaborative efforts of the coalition.
I Ifthe City chooses to participate in the Act, then the City will also need to establish its
affordability and life-cycle housing goals and action plan for implementing those goals for
I calendar year 1997. Previously, the Staff presented information on the Act and discussed the
implications and strategies for the Act with the City Council in December of 1995. In short,
these discussions concluded that the City is fully developed, excluding the Twin Cities Army
I Ammunition Plant (TCAAP) and the potential for the development of any meaningful number of
new residential units in Arden Hills lies with the redevelopment of TCAAP. Therefore, the
City's participation in the Program and the Act was directly linked to the residential component
I of the redevelopment of TCAAP. Given, that no significant movement has occurred on the Twin
Cities Army Ammunition Plant, the Staff will not be recommending any modifications to the
goals or the action plan for calendar 1997.
I Lastly, the City would be affected by the Affordable and Life-cycle Housing Opportunities
Amount (ALHOA) in calendar year 1997 (Exhibit B). The ALHOA is a dollar amount which
I must be expended by the community to support or assist the development of affordable and life-
cycle housing or maintain existing affordable and life-cycle housing. Essentially, the ALHOA is
.. determined by a formula on the increase or decrease in the market value of residential properties
in a community. The ALHOA for the City of Arden Hills for calendar year 1997 is $723.00.
I
'I
Recommendation I
The Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution 96-63, electing to participate in the ..
Local Housing Incentives Account Program under the Metropolitan Livable Communities Act
for the calendar year of 1997.

I CITY OF ARDEN HILLS
.- MEMORANDUM
I DATE: November 12, 1996
TO: Mayor and City Council
I FROM: Kevin Ringwald, Community Development Director~
I SUBJECT: Resolution 96-66, Metropolitan Livable Communities Act
Reauest
I The City Council is requested to adopt Resolution #96-66 (Exhibit A) establishing goals related
to the implementation of the Metropolitan Livable Communities Act (the Act) for the calendar
I year of 1997.
Discussion
I Given, that no significant movement has occurred on the Twin Cities Army Ammunition Plant,
the Staff will not be recommending any modifications to the goals or the action plan for calendar
1997. The general framework for the City's participation in the Act for 1996 is as follows:
.. 1. Given, that the City of Arden Hills south of Highway 96 is fully developed and that the
potential for any meaningful number of new residential units lies with the development of
I land north of Highway 96, the Twin Cities Army Ammunition Plant (TCAAP). The
City's participation in the Act is linked to the residential component of the redevelopment
of TCAAP. Also, the goals that are to be established in the Act are to be directly linked
I to the creation of new residential units in TCAAP. As example, if the goals for
affordability for Arden Hills is 50 percent, then 50 percent of the new residential units in
I TCAAP would be available for affordable units, However, this would not guarantee the
creation of affordable units.
I 2. The City of Arden Hills Comprehensive Plan was adopted in 1982, A component of that
plan was the Land Use Plan. The Arden Hills Task Force is completing its
recommendations on revising the land use plan for TCAAP. These recommendations
I will ultimately be forwarded to the City for appropriate action. Also, the TCAAP Re-
Utilization Committee, which was formed by Congressman Bruce Vento, has finalized its
recommendations on a conceptual land use plan for TCAAP, and had forwarded them to
I the Congressman for appropriate action. The Arden Hills Task Force and the TCAAP
Re-Utilization Committee have accomplished an incredible amount of consensus on the
two respective land use plans. However, the existing Land Use Plan of the City is still
I the document in relationship to land use on TCAAP. Therefore, the existing land use
plan is the document which will be used as a basis for participation in the Act, until a
.. revised land use plan for TCAAP is officially adopted.
I
... 'I
The acreages for the generalized land uses for TCAAP under the three land use plans, as I
they currently exist, are characterized as follows:
Land Use 1982 Land Use Plan A.H. Task Force Plan Vento Plan ..
Residential 970 Acres 481 Acres 487 Acres I
Comm.lOff./lnd. 500 Acres 234 Acres 230 Acres
Open Space 805 Acres 1,434 Acres 1,362 Acres I
Institutional 95 Acres 221 Acres' 291 Acres'
Total 2,370 Acres 2,370 Acres 2,370 Acres I
· Includcs the Town Ccnter
Thc City Council in 1996, reviewed several alternatives for goals for participation in the I
Act. Those alternatives included; sector analysis, sector analysis (except for Centerville
and Lino Lakes), cluster analysis, neighboring cities analysis, and a small developing I
cities analysis. These analyses are attached to this memorandum (Exhibit B). In
reviewing these five alternatives the City Council concluded that the small developing
cities analysis best currently fit the residential opportunities at TCAAP. The conclusion I
was based upon that the residential development opportunities at TCAAP are similar to
developing a new small city from the ground up. Therefore, it would be most appropriate
to use data from other small developing cities for comparison purposes. J
Recommendation
The Staff recommends that the City Council adopt Resolution #96-66, goals for participating in I
the Metropolitan Livable Communities Act for the calendar year of 1997.

Subject: 1997 Street Improvement Project
I Date: November 5,1996
I Attached is City of Arden Hills Resolution 96-62 for the referenced project. This is the City of
Arden Hills' resolution receiving the preliminary report and ordering the public hearing for next
year's street improvements project. We have incorporated the issues and comments provided by
I staff following our discussions of the draft report. As you are also aware, there has been
discussion over recent months to consider the addition of Colleen A venue to the City's municipal
state aid streets system, However, upon review of the MSAS requirements and subsequent
I meetings with State Aid officials, the segment does not qualify for state aid designation due to
the 90 degree turn at the intersection with McClung Drive.
I The attached report addresses the reconstruction, bituminous reclamation, bituminous overlay,
and seal coat of several streets throughout the City. The total estimated cost of the project is
I. approximately $709,000 which is considerably higher than previous years' street projects
completed without the assistance ofMSAS dollars.
As indicated in the attached resolution and the project feasibility report, a public informational
I meeting is scheduled for December 3,1996 with the formal public hearing to be held on
December 9, 1996,
I If the City Council approves of the attached information, it would be appropriate to adopt
Resolution 96-62, receiving the preliminary report and calling the public hearing to be held
I on December 9, 1996.
I will be present at the November 12, 1996 City Council meeting to address any questions the
I Council may have related to the project. Please contact our office with any other concerns you or
your staff may have prior to the meeting,

I RE: 1997 Policy Adoption Conference and Le~lative Policies
.
I
-. Enclosed is a copy of the 1997 City Policies as proposed by the League's policy committees and
Board of Directors. These policies address significant city issues including property tax reform,
I rights-of-way management, local government aid, annexation, tax increment financing, and
transportation funding.
I The 1997 legislative session will be an active year for cities. In fact, the legislature will spend
considerable time and effort on many issues that will undoubtedly affect how you govern and
manage your cities. To ensure that the League's policies and legislative activities represent your
I city's interests, please plan to attend the Policy Adoption Conference on November 22.
The League membership will vote on these policies as part of the Policy Adoption Conference on
I Friday, November 22, 1996, at the Ramada Plaza, 12201 Ridgedale Drive, Minnetonka (see
map on back)
I The accompanying ballot should be filled out and returned to Mary Diedrich by Monday,
November 18, regardless of whether you will be attending the conference. The results will be
I tabulated and shared with those present on November 22 to help facilitate discussion.
In order for League staff to plan properly for the meeting, please register as early as possible,
I We look fOf\vard to seeing all of you on November 22nd.

I Dear League Members:
I I am pleased to submit the accompanying draft 1997 Legislative Policies for your
consideration. These policies were developed by more than 200 city officials serving on the
League's four policy committees and nine polk)' task forces.
I For those who served on a task force or policy committee, I would like to thank you for your
time and efforts. The hard work and input of city officials is the necessary foundation for
I developing a successful legislative agenda for the League of Minnesota Cities and its members,
For those who could not participate in the policy committee process, your input in the
Ie League's policy development process is still crucial. The League needs your reaction to the
attached draft of issues and the proposed resolutions. Please plan to attend the LMC Policy
AdOption Conference on November 22 at the Minnetonka Ramada Plaza. If you cannot attend
I the conference and have concerns or suggestions, please Contact any member of the
Intergovernmental Relations staff at the League.
I On behalf of the Board of Directors and League staff, please accept my sincere thanks for your
contribution to this most important process.
I Sincerely,
~r:d#

~. General Policy Statement
I
One of the most important purposes of the League of Minnesota Cities is to serve as a vehicle for
I cities to define common problems and develop policies and proposals to solve those problems.
The League of Minnesota Cities represents 812 of Minnesota's 855 cities as well as II urban
I to\\11S and 22 special districts. All sizes of communities are represented among the League's
members (the largest nonmember city has a population of 163) and each region of the 3tate is
represented,
I The policies that follow arc directed at specific city issues, Two principles guide the
I development of all League policies.
1. There is a need for a governmental system which allows flexibility and authority for
I cities to meet challenges of governing and providing citizens with services while at
the same time protecting cities from unfunded or underfunded mandates, liability or
other financial risk, and restrictions on local control; and
I 2, The financial and technical requirements for governing and providing services
necessitate a continuing and strengthened partnership with federal, state, and local
.. governments. This partnership particularly in the areas of finance, development,
housing, environment, and transportation is critical for the successful operation of
Minnesota's cities and the well-being of city residents.

Policy Development Process
I The League's policy development process has taken place over the past five months, The process
began with a member survey of priority issues facing city officials. The process will not end with the
I policy adoption conference. The committees will schedule additional meetings during the upcoming
legislative session to discuss additional issues, develop alternative solutions and to discuss strategies to
implement the League's policies,
I Listed below is a brief chronology of the major events in the policy development process. At each
step, members have the opportunity to participate in the development process.
I April/May The League solicits members for ideas and problems. A survey at the Annual
Conference allows members to formally suggest topics,
I June The League President accepts applications for committees and appoints policy
committee members.
I The policy committees are: Improving Community Life Committee

I- IMPROVING COMMUNITY LIFE
CL-l. Livable Communities
I To the greatest extent possible, legislation affecting communities at the state and federal level
should enhance, not diminish, the ability of citizens, businesses, and local governments to
I work together in partnership to make every community "livable."
ISSUE: Cities in Minnesota are at various stages in meeting the goal of being "livable
I communities. "
RESPONSE: The definition of a "livable community" below will be used to evaluate
I proposed legislation to determine whether or not it advances the goal of enabling all
Minnesota cities to become livable communities, It should also be used by cities to
I evaluate their progress toward the goal of becoming livable communities.
I A LIVABLE COMMUNITY IS:
WHERE PEOPLE OF ALL AGES
.. . share a core of common values including valuing diversity, respect for each other, and
I good citizenship
. feel:
* safe
I * a sense of belonging
* welcome
I . engage in life-long leaniing activities that:
* prepare them for responsible citizenship
I * enhance the enjoyment of life
* prepare them for changing job markets
I . participate in the decision-making process of community leaders
. celebrate community
I . want to make their home
I . have access to:
* good paying jobs
~
* adequate and affordable housing
* choice of efficient transportation systems including transit, pedestrians, and bicycles

~. IMPROVING FISCAL FUTURES
I FF-l. Property Tax Reform
1
I 2 Issue: Changing economic and political circumstances have created the motivation to
I 3 revisit our property tax system. For example, reductions in state aid and the proliferation of
4 unfunded mandates have increased local governments' reliance upon property taxes to fund
I
5 basic services, making the property tax the largest source of state and local government
I 6 revenue, In addition, changes to the property tax laws over the past 25 years have created a
I 7 very complex system which frustrates public officials and citizens alike.
8 Response: As the legislature addresses property tax reform, it must provide local
I 9 officials with the ability to fund the services their citizens demand. Local governments
Ie 10 must be a partner with the state in developing changes to the property tax system,
11 Specifically, the League supports:
I
12 . Reducing the property tax burden for all classes of property by increasing the state
I 13 share of school funding. Any increase in the state share of school funding must
I 14 guarantee a permanent reduction in the local property tax burden. The League
15 supports paying for the increased state costs through income and sales taxes.
I 16 . Modification to property tax class rates where the property tax burden has created a
I 17 demonstrated problem for a class of property and where class rate reduction is an
18 appropriate policy response. Class rate changes should be phased in over several
I
19 years and must not result in shifts of burden from one class to another.
I 20 . Class rate simplification. The state should consider reducing the number of property
~ 21 classifications to make the system more easily understandable. The legislature must
I 1997 City Policies 3
:i
-
I
,
1 understand, however, that accentuating simplicity may adversely affect the fairness of .1
2 the system.
I
3 . Local revenue diversification. The state must ensure that disparities in tax revenue
4 sources are mitigated, I
5 The League opposes: I
6 . Levy limits and property tax freezes, These simplistic measures are not reform and
7 would be ineffective and inefficient means to limiting property tax growth, I
8 . Replacing all or part of LGA and HACA with state-mandated categorical aid I
9 programs,
10 . Switching from the classification system to a market value based system, which would I
11 cause tremendous shifts of tax burden between classes of property. The League also I
12 opposes applying all future levy increases to market value because this would further ..
13 complicate the property tax system.
14 . State intervention in local decision making regarding service delivery. I
15 . A state-levied property tax, I
16 . Cuts in LGA and HACA to finance an increased state role in school finance.
I
17 FF-2. State Shared Revenues I
18 Issue: In four of the last seven years, LGA and HACA appropriations have been cut and I
19 resources have been redirected to other state programs. In addition, the Local Government
20 Trust Fund. which was created to provide growth to programs such as LGA and HACA, was I
21 repealed and the local option 1/2 cent sales tax was redirected to the state's general fund. At I
22 the same time. the property tax has become the largest source of state and local tax revenue in ..

.I, J,.'.J..I,.I,l..I,"'~';)V4'-i
I
~~
I
~.1 Minnesota. Without programs such as LOA and HACA and the appropriation of additional
I 2 state resources to these programs, the property tax will continue to escalate, thus these
3 programs will not accomplish their intended goals,
I
4 Response: LGA and HACA, or similar replacement revenues, must be continued and
I 5 additional state resources greater than the rate of inflation must be allocated to prevent
I 6 rapid future property tax increases.
I 7 FF-3. Circuit Breaker and Targeting on the Property Tax Statement
I 8 Issue: Beginning in 1998, the circuit breaker and targeting payments which are currently
I 9 made directly to individuals will be converted to a property tax statement credit and payments
10 will be made directly to local units of government, As a reimbursement to local government
"1 rather than a direct payment to the taxpayer, the funding for the program could be reduced
I 12 without directly impacting the taxpayer but with substantial financial impact on local units of
13 government.
I 14 Response: The circuit breaker should remain a direct payment to taxpayers. The
I 15 1995 law should be repealed.
I FF-4. Taxation of Municipal Bond Interest
16
I 17 Issue: The state law that grants a tax exemption for municipal bond interest is being
I 18 reviewed and could be repealed. A repeal of this exemption will raise borrowing costs for
19 cities at a time when budgets are extremely tight and property tax increases are unacceptable to
I 20 the taxpayer.
~
I 1997 City Policies 5
.
:~.
I
1 Response: The state should maintain the tax exemption for municipal bond interest .1
2 income.
I
3 FF-S. City Fiscal Year I
4 Issue: The fiscal years for the state and cities are offset by 6 months, The state fiscal year I
5 begins on July 1 while the city fiscal year begins on January 1. Lawmakers have proposed I
6 changing the city fiscal year to coincide with the state. Such a change, while providing
7 questionable benefits for cities, would conflict with the current property tax cycle, impair I
8 historical comparisons of data, force cities to retool accounting systems, adversely impact city I
9 credit ratings, and could result in state funding gaps.
10 Response: The state should maintain current law and not change the city fiscal year to I
11 coincide with the state fiscal year. ..
12 FF-6. Sales Tax on Local Government Purchases I
13 Issue: In 1992, the Legislature repealed the sales tax exemption for local government I
14 purchases. This action increased the costs for local governments and local property taxes by I
15 an estimated $76.8 million for the state's 1997 fiscal year. This repeal has effectively
16 increased local property taxes to finance state operations. I
17 Response: The state should reinstate the sales tax exemption for all local government I
18 purchases. I

I
I
~ 1 FF-7. Delinquent Property Tax Penalties and Interest
2 Issue: Although city finances are affected by property tax delinquencies, cities do not
I 3 receive any associated penalties and interest on these delinquencies. Penalties and interest are
I 4 split evenly between counties and schools.
5 Response: Cities and counties should receive a pro-rata distribution of SO percent of
I 6 the penalties and interest collected on delinquent property taxes with the remaining SO
I 7 percent to be distributed to schools.
I 8 FF-8. Payments for Services to Tax-Exempt Property
I 9 Issue: Taxable property in many cities is being acquired by nonprofit and government
.. 10 entities. Converting the property to tax-exempt status can lead to a serious tax base erosion
11 without any corresponding reduction in the service needs created by the property.
I 12 Response: Cities should be allowed to collect payments in-lieu of property taxes or
I 13 special assessments from statutorily exempt property owners.
I 14 FF-9. Truth-in-Taxation
I 15 Issue: The Legislature has mandated how property tax relief is calculated on tax
I 16 statements. These calculations have no relationship to actual local receipts for Homestead and
17 Agricultural Credit Aid. While the 1996 reforms relaxed some of the more onerous
I 18 requirements for certain cities, many still find the process to be a waste of resources primarily
I 19 due to little citizen response at the hearings.
~ 20 Response: In the spirit of real truth-in-taxation, property tax statements should
I 1997 City Policies 7
>
--
I
,
1 accurately reflect the actual amount of HACA benefiting each individual property owner. I
2 Cities should be able to schedule their initial hearings on dates that may conflict with -I
3 others' hearings, if no other dates are available. Cities should have the authority to
4 increase'the finalle~' from the preliminary levy. I
I
5 FF-IO. State Deductions from LGA I
6 Issue: State administrative costs are deducted from the LGA appropriation. This reduces the
7 property tax relief provided by LGA and creates hidden appropriations for state agencies. I
8 Response: All appropriations from LGA resources that fund state operations should I
9 be repealed.
I
10 FF-l1. Reporting Requirements ..
11 Issue: Budget and financial reporting requirements imposed on cities by the state often result I
12 in duplication and additional costs,
13 Response: Additional requirements for reporting and advertising financial and budget I
14 information should be carefully weighed to balance the validity ofthe state's need for I
15 additional information with the costs and burdens of compiling and submitting this I
16 information. In addition, all state agencies should be aware of the information already
17 required by others to avoid duplication of reporting requirements. I
I
18 FF-12. Federal Budget Cutbacks
19 Issue: Congressional actions to balance the federal budget will reduce federal assistance to I
..
8 League of Minnesota Cities
I
:i
I
I
~ 1 the state and to local governments.
2 Response: The state should not reduce aids or increase fees to local governments as a
I 3 means for dealing with cutbacks in federal revenues. The state should take responsibility
4 for reductions in federal revenues rather than placing the burden on citics and their
I
5 property taxpayers.
I
I 6 FF-13. Local Performance Aid
7 Issue:: When the 1996 Legislature created the local performance aid program. the legislation
I 8 was vague and the program was partially funded by cuts in HACA. In the future the
I 9 requirements for applying for the aid could become an onerous mandate on cities and undermine
..10 local decision-making.
11 Response: The League strongly supports efforts by cities to improve the efficiency and
I 12 effectiveness of thcir operations, including exercises such as performance measurement
I 13 systems, However, these efforts should be local initiatives rather than state mandated
14 actions. Therefore, the League opposes LPA, If local performance aid is to be continued:
I 15 . The law must be clarified and the qualification requirements must be attainable by all
I 16 cities regardless of city size or staffing levels.
17 . All additional funding must come from new revenue sources rather than shifts of aid
I
18 from other programs such as LGA and HACA.
I 19 . The program must not become an onerous mandate requiring additional city resources
I 20 . Any information on individual cities that is collected from the program must not be
.. 21 used to simplistically compare cities.
I 1997 City Policies 9

I
1 FF-14. Price of Government I
2 Issue: The price of govemm~nt Icgisbtio;; enacted in 1994 was intended to llleasure the ..
3 overall effect of state and local taxation over a long period of time. The targets measure I
4 government revenues as a percent of personal income, Unfortunately, the targets have been
5 misinterpreted and used unfairly to criticize city tax and budget decisions, I
Response: The price of government statutes as they apply to local governments should I
be repealed.
I
IMPROVING LOCAL ECONOMIES I
1 LE-l. Tax Increment Financing I
2 Iss/le: The State of Minnesota has effectively delegated the responsibility for economic
..
3 development and redevelopment to cities. Unfortunately, neighboring states have given their
4 cities more economic development tools and, therefore, cities in these states have a I
5 competitive advantage over Minnesota cities. In Minnesota, tax increment financing is the I
6 only tool available to all cities in their economic development and redevelopment efforts, The
7 State, whether based on a lack of information or misinformation, has been critical of cities' I
8 use of the tool and has restricted the permitted uses instead of partnering with cities and I
9 encouraging their endeavors to improve and enhance the economic well-being of Minnesota
I
10 and the growth and redevelopment of its cities. Cities have used tax increment financing
11 responsibly and examples of these positive uses abound. I
12 Response: To effectively compete with other states, Minnesota must provide its cities I
13 greater flexibility in the use of tax increment financing and other economic development ..
10 League of Minnesota Cities
I

----
I
~. 1 programs. The Legislature should not make further restrictive changes to the tax
I 2 increment statutes. The State should partner with cities in econoinic development and
I 3 redevelopment and encourage cities' use of tax increment in achieving the laudable goals
4 of long-term tax base stabilization and growth, job creation, development of low-to-
I
5 moderate income housing, remediation of pollution, elimination of blight, recycling and
I 6 redevelopment of the infrastructure, and redevelopment of its communities. Cities should
I 7 be given more flexibility in the use of tax increment financing as they are in the best
position to evaluate what is best for the economic health of their communities. The
8
I 9 legislature should:
I 10 . remove existing restrictions to property included in a deferred assessment program
11 within the last five years (e.g., green acres; agricultural preserves);
Ie 12 . eliminate the inflation adjusted base for economic development districts;
I 13 . authorize any tax increment districts approved after April 1, 1990 to pool increments
I 14 in the same manner as districts certified prior to April 1, 1990;
15 eliminate the LGAIHACA penalty currently imposed on newly created districts or, if
.
I 16 the penalty is not eliminated, remove the restrictions on the source of payment; and
I 17 . expand the use of tax increment financing to assist in the development of
18 technological infrastructure, job training, and the restoration of historic structures.
I
I 19 LE-2. Property Tax Reform & TIF
I 20 Issue: The 1997 legislature is likely to consider several property tax reform proposals.
,. 21 Any changes to the property tax system could have significant implications for tax increment

,>
I
1 financing districts. For example, if property class rates are compressed, existing tax .1
2 increment financing districts could experience revenue shortfalls which, in turn, could I
3 jeopardize the repayment of outstanding debt or other obligations,
I
4 Response: Discussions about how to reform the property tax system must take into
5 account the potential impacts on tax increment districts. All property tax reform I
6 proposals must include a provision to hold harmless existing tax increment financing I
7 districts and provide sufficient state resources so that TIF obligations can be met.
I
8 LE-3. Economic Development Programs I
9 Issue: The Minnesota Investment Fund is not adequately funded. The state does not
I
10 authorize an adequate slate of tools for local governments to assist job creation, redevelop
11 blight and decay, and provide adequate housing choices, Cities are not well equipped to ..
12 compete nationally and internationally for business development. I
13 Response:
14 . More state resources should be contributed to the l\Iinnesota Investment Fund. I
15 . In the event that the LGA/HACA penalty is not eliminated, a portion of the revenues I
16 should be contributed to the Minnesota Investment Fund. These funds would then be
17 available for cities to retain businesses in the state and to attract business looking to I
18 relocate from other states. I
19 . The Minnesota Investment Fund should be continued and clear rules established to I
20
govern its use. The state and federal funds that fund this program should also be
21 allocated throughout the year to help ensure that projects across the state have access I
22 to the grants. ..
12 League of Minnesota Cities
I
>
I
I
.1 . In addition to existing authority under the tax increment financing law, cities should
I 2 be given authority for property tax abatements as another economic development tool.
I 3 . The state should establish a new grant program that would provide funds to cities to
4 establish a Revolving Loan Fund targeted to..g;ijl financing for manufacturing
I 5 projects. The funds would be awarded to cities thorough a competitive grant program
I 6 in which the award is based on community need, local development capacity, as well
I 7 as past experience and expertise in managing a Revolving Loan Fund and the general
8 ability/experience of the individual community to get the job of economic development
I 9 completed. The approved applications would be funded strictly on the aforementioned
I 10 criteria as well as the city's development program and development priorities. The
11 State would not be in the business of reviewing projects with respect to specific
"2 companies and specific loans, These grants would be in the range of $200,000 to
I 13 $250,000 and would facilitate four to five initial local loan projects. Local
14 governments should be given the flexibility to utilize these funds throughout the city
I
15 without any geographical restrictions. The funds to the communities would be used to
I 16 develop subordinated mortgages that are integrated with the primary financing of a
I 17 particular manufacturing project. The loan could be utilized for retention as well as
18 new jobs. The respective community would be required to "recapture" the funds and
I 19 also to develop the appropriate collateral to protect the integrity of the Revolving
I 20 Loan Fund. In the event that the LGAfHACA penalty is not eliminated, a portion of
21 the revenues should also be contributed to the Revolving Loan Fund.

3 Issue: The 1996 Legislative Auditor's report reflects the concern that cities are using tax I
4 increments from pre-1990 districts to fund general public improvements that do not meet the I
5 objectives of the tax increment plans. Restrictions on cities' use of these increments would
I
6 disrupt cities' plans made in reliance on current law and create various inequities,
7 Response: The general public improvements made with pre-1990 district tax increment I
8 dollars are consistent with legitimate development goals and meet the objectives of the I
9 plans.' Additionally, the public improvements are essential to the economic development
10 of a community. The League urges the legislature not to adopt further restrictions on the I

-
- 2 Issue": Brownfields are lands that are not suitable for development due to the presence of
- chemical or other contaminants, Brownfields are a major cause of blight within communities
!!!! 3
-
- 4 across the state through loss of local tax base, jobs, housing quality, public safety and
-
-
- 5 community confidence. Revitalizing this land is costly and requires the cooperation of city,
-
- 6 county, school, regional, state and federal governments and the assistance of local economic
-
-
- 7 development organizations and citizens. As we move into an era where the mass creation of
-
-
-
8 jobs is a necessity and where increased tax base is a requirement for local governments to
-
-
- 9 adequately face growing financial pressures, efforts to revitalize brownfields must not only
- 10 continue but be accelerated in the upcoming years.

5 LE-7. Growth Management and Annexation
-
6 Issue: Unplanned and uncontrolled urban growth has a negative environmental, fiscal, and
7 governmental impact for cities, counties, and state governments because it increases the costs
8 of providing government services and results in the loss of natural resource areas and prime
9 agricultural land.
10 Response: The League believes that the existing framework for guiding growth and
-
11 development primarily through local plans and controls adopted by local governments -
--
12 should form the basis of a statewide planning policy and that the state should not adopt a
13 comprehensive statewide planning process, Rather, the state should:
14 . provide additional financial and technical assistance to local governments for
15 cooperative planning and growth management issues, particularly where new
16 comprehensive plans have been mandated by the Legislature;
-
17 . clearly establish the public purposes served by existing statewide controls such as -
18 shoreland zoning and wetlands conservation; clarify, simplify, and streamline these
-
19 controls; eliminate duplication in their administration; and fully defend and hold
20 harmless any local government sued for a "taking" as a result of executing state land

3 LE -9. Affordable Housing I
4 Issue: Many families are unable to afford housing, and cities often lack resources at the I
5 local level to provide housing for families or to develop housing alternatives for aging I
6 populations that are within their means, particularly in smaller cities, The resulting
7 circumstances limit economic development and weaken the city's tax base. I
8 In areas outside the five MSA regions, housing stock is aging and generally older than in I
9 more urban locations. 1990 U.S. Census figures indicate that more than 30 percent of housing
10 units in those areas were built prior to 1940, as compared with the high rate of new housing I
11 construction within MSA locations, particularly in the twin cities metro area where 59 percent ..
12 of housing units built in the '80's are located. The ratio of housing affordability for low-
I
13 income renters is also increasing, raising more concern at the local level about the prospect
14 that this circumstance indicates that there is little likelihood that this portion of the city I
15 population will become homeowners. Almost half the households in the state paying median I
16 rental housing costs exceeded the level of affordability, according to the latest census,
17 Older homeowners often reside in housing that is affordable to first-time homebuyers, but I
18 often want to remain in their homes as long as possible. By the time they do move, the I
19 propeny may have become run-down. As a result, the home often becomes rental property
20 with minimal improvements undertaken by the new owners. I
21 Response: Federal, state and local government must pursue policies which encourage I
22 public-private partnerships to make it possible for cities, lending institutions and ..

I
.1 developers to initiate both public and private housing projects that meet local needs. The
I 2 state should continue to provide grants and loans from state revenue sources and
I 3 streamline multiple MHF A- administered programs to create a larger pool of state
I 4 funding with more flexible criteria and guidelines to make it easier for cities to apply for
5 and make use of state housing assistance programs. The state can also assist by
I 6 establishing priorities for the use of those funds on the basis of state housing policy for
I 7 which cities and developers can apply based on their specific project activities.
8 More also needs to be done to reduce the cost to older homeowners of moving into
I 9 assisted living or other housing designed for the elderly, such as patio homes. More also
I IO needs to be done to match up first-time homebu)'ers with affordable properties and to
11 make more "fix-up" programs available at the locallerel.
"2
Among the state-sponsored initiatives and policies the League supports to encourage
I 13 production of affordable housing are:
I 14 . exemption from state sales tax for construction of low-income housing;
15 . a state low-income housing tax credit program; and
I 16 . measures that make it easier for cities with affordable housing programs to use tax
I 17 increment financing or tax-exempt revenue bonds (IRBs).
18 Cities must also have sufficient local authority and the flexibility to undertake housing
I
19 projects to meet their unique housing needs and must be able to leverage federal and state
I 20 resources to do so. Cities must also bring together crime prevention specialists and those
I 21 working to develop new affordable housing units in support of on-going efforts to improve
~: access to affordable housing while supporting neighborhood safety and community
livability.

I LE-IO. City Role in Telecommunications I
2 Issue: Cities are facing increasingly complex challenges in responding to and planning -I
3 their own telecommunications futures. While cities are prepared to assert authority to manage
4 and obtain compensation for private use of public rights-of-way, they also are faced with I
5 actions at the state and federal level that are changing the way cities carry oU[ strategies for I
6 both community development and strengthening local and regional economies. Cities need
I
7 support at the state level to assure that community residents benefit from the convergence of
8 electronic information technology, telecommunications, communications, video, and cable tv I
9 service delivery. I
10 Response: The legislature should support and encourage actions by local government
II to plan for how to provide public services and assure the benefits of broadband I
12 telecommunications and wireless communications for their communities and residents by: ..
13 . recognizing the changing nature of the public-private partnership in which multiple

II LE-ll. Redesign of Electric Utility Regulation ..
12 Issue: Policymakers at the state and federal levels are considering ways in which to bring
I
13 competition into the electric utility industry. Without a cautious approach which incorporates
14 careful consideration of the implications of any deregulation scheme for all consumers of electric I
15 energy, it is possible that only the largest consumers of electric energy, primarily big business I
16 interests, would experience true cost savings and other benefits often associated with competition
17 while the small customers, individuals and small businesses, may actually see rate increases. I
18 Additionally, city interests in managing and obtaining compensation for the use of public rights of I
19 way by utility companies are often overlooked in electric utility restructuring discussions.
20 Response: A cautious, deliberative approach to restructuring the electric utility industry is I
21 necessary to preserve the level of service to which Minnesota consumers of electric energy I
22 have become accustomed. Additionally, it is crucial that cities have a place at the table in ..

I 3 ensure that additional responsibilities and financial burdens are not shifted to the local level.
I 4 LE-12. Adequate Funding for Transportation
I 5 Issue: Current funding for roads and for transit systems across all government levels in the
I 6 state is not adequate,
7 Response: Minnesota should value, and adequately fund, all transportation systems in the
I 8 state. The state needs to provide an objective basis to determine the complete. needs of the
I 9 road and transit systems, their present condition, and their impact on the economic health of
10 the state. This should include acknowledgment that delaying current expenditures will
"II increase costs in the future. The League of Minnesota Cities supports an increase in the gas
I 12 tax and urges removing the existing restrictions on its use so that gas tax revenues can be used
I 13 for all transportation projects and programs, not just road construction and maintenance.
14 The Legislature should institute additional revenue sources that can be dedicated to all
I 15 transportation programs. Cities should receiYe revenues necessary to meet present and future
I 16 transportation needs. If funding does not come from the state, cities should have funding
17 options available to them to raise the dollars necessary to adequately fund roads and transit.
I 18 With the exception of funding for the state patrol, all nontransportation programs should
I 19 be funded from a source other than the highway user distribution fund, The revenues of the
20 highway user distribution fund are collected from transportation users and should be
I 21 dedicated to transportation-related services.

2 Issue: Current rul:::s governing municipal state aid cxpcndituTcS are restricting the efficient I
3 use of these funds and do not adequately acknowledge the constraints of road systems in urban city
I
4 environments.
5 Response: Rules affecting the municipal state aid system need to be changed to I
6 acknowledge the technical and practical restrictions on construction and reconstruction of I
7
urban road systems. New municipal state aid design standards should not apply to
8 reconstruction of existing state aid streets that were originally constructed under different I

12 Issue: Cities under 5,000 population do not receive any nonproperty tax funds for their I

15 transportation systems by allowing contiguous cities that jointly represent a combined I
16 population of 5,000 or more to be eligible for Municipal State Aid CM.S.A.). Participating
I
17 cities would enter into a formal joint powers agreement and establish a joint budget that

I 5 fund should be used to meet this funding gap.
I
I 6 LE-15. Turnbacks of County and State Roads
As road funding becomes increasingly inadequate, more roads are being "turned back"
7 Issue:
I 8 to cities from counties and the state.
I 9 Response: Turnbacks should not occur without direct funding or transfer of a funding
10 source. A process of negotiation and mediation should govern the timing, funding, and
"1 condition of turned-back roads. City taxpayers should receive the same treatment as
I 12 township taxpayers. The requirement for a public hearing, standards about the conditions of
I 13 turnbacks, and temporary maintenance funding should also apply to county turnbacks to
14 cities. At a minimum, proposed roads to be turned back to a lower government level should
I 15 be brought up to the standards of the receiving government or should be compensated with a
I 16 direct payment. Direct funding should be provided for smaller cities that are not pro\'ided
17 with turnback financing through the municipal state aid system.

2 and aesthetic decisions about county and county state-aid roads within cities, A negotiated -I
3 system of review will offer both governments the opportunity to produce better road proj ects,
4 Local city and county officials should use available opportunities for alternate dispute I

I
7 LE-17. Management of Rights-of-Way I
8 Issue: Demand for all types of uses of rights-of'way, both surface and subsurface, is increasing I
9 exponentially, forcing consideration by cities of how best to allocate this very limited resource.
10 Because public rights-of-way have been acquired at public expense through local property tax I
II sources or other local action, cities have traditionally had the fundamental responsibility and ..
12 attendant liability for facilitating the safety and convenience of all right-of-way users. Rights-of-
13 way management responsibilities are complex, numerous, and site specific, as are the particular I
14 interests of cities in establishing a value for private use of public space in the local rights-of-way. I
15 These factors underscore the fact that rational and expeditious decisions can only be made at the I
16 local level.
17 Cities support existing federal nondiscrimination requirements that local administration not I
18 impose unreasonable delays or burdens on access, entry, or other reasonable use ofrights-of-way. I
19 Cities should be authorized, as provided in federal law, to require telecommunications providers to
20 meet local requirements for public, educational, and government access to their networks as well I
21 as financial and technical support for such actions. I

1.1 which effectively illustrates the value of that asset to competitive service providers in an
I 2 unregulated marketplace. Unlike oilier businesses which pay for the use of public rights-of-way,
I 3 telephone companies currently pay property taxes only on a fraction of their facilities located in
4 public rights-of-way and nothing for the value of the right to use them.
I 5 Response:
I 6 . The responsibility for managing and protecting public rights-of-way must remain with
7 cities and other units of government entrusted with protecting the health, safety, and
I 8 convenience of the community.
I 9 . Construction and safety standards are of paramount importance to cities, and consistent
I 10 with respective industries' desire for uniformity, should be developed by the municipal
11 engineering community for adoption by cities to ensure effective rights-of-way
- management.
I 13 . Cities and other governmental units responsible for the protection and management of
14 public rights-of-way should be authorized to require reasonable compensation which
I 15 reflects the policy and fiscal objectives of their community.
I 16 . The courts should remain the primary forum for resolution of allegations that
I 17 communities have exercised their authority in an unreasonable, arbitrary, or capricious

manner.

I 14 Issue: The cost of federal and state mandated programs substitute the judgment of Congress
I 15 and the President and the Legislature and the Governor for local budget priorities. These mandates
16 force cities to reduce funding for other basic services or to increase taxes and service charges. The
I
17 passage by Congress of legislation restraining new federal mandates should help address the
I 18 problem. but other steps are still necessary.
I 19 Response:

6 SD-3. Civil Liability of Local Governments I
7 Issue: One of the barriers to the delivery of governmental services and programs is the I
8 exposure of locai governments and their officials to civil damage claims. The state has acted to

9 protect'itself and its local governments by enacting exceptions and limitations to liability suits and
10 authorizing self-insurance and other mechanisms to deal with claims allowed by law. I
11 Response: The League supports: ..
12 . retaining dollar limitations on governmental liability and periodically reviewing and
13 adjusting them in order to ensure market adequacy (the League supports increasing the I
14 tort liability limits for both the state and its political subdivisions to $250,000 for any I

"1 SD-4. Environmental Protection
I 2 Issue: State and federal environmental programs are improperly designed to meet their stated
I 3 goals, and impose an undue burden on local governments because of a lack of federal or state
4 financial assistance. The refusal to finance these programs by the governments which pass them
I 5 has eliminated an essential restraining feature in program design and implementation.
I 6 Specific problems include:
7 . New programs or standards are continually adopted without regard to the existence,
I
8 attainability, or cost of existing programs and standards.
I 9 . Fragmented program adoption and implementation does not ensure. prioritization of
I 10 environmental matters or the establishment of comprehensive environmental protection

"2 . "One size fits all" implementation programs force remedial efforts by local governments for
I 13 nonexistent environmental problems.
14 . Permit fees and other cost transfer elements of federal and state programs do not provide an
I 15 incentive for environmental agency efficiency, policy prioritization, or risk assessment.
I 16 Response:
I 17 . A comprehensive effort to consolidate, reorganize, and manage state and federal
18 environmental agencies and programs should be undertaken and a partial or full
I 19 moratorium on new programs or requirements should be considered.
I 20 . Permit fees should be limited to fifty perce,,: of the agency's direct operating costs in

3 Issue: Many state and federal laws increase the cost of providing city service to residents by I
4 requiring city governments to provide certain levels of compensation or benefits to public I
5 employees, specify certain working conditions, or limit city governments' ability to effectively
6 manage their personnel resources. For instance, many existing state and federal laws limit I
7 governments' ability to effectively address incompetence or misconduct of city employees I
8 specifying certain procedures to be followed or standards of conduct. Recent state proposals to
9 impose salary limits or to increase public pension benefits for military service, and Congressional I
10 proposals to adopt a national discipline procedure to insulate police officers from local and state I
11 : disciplinary action similarly would only worsen the existing situation. ..
12 Response: The federal and state governments should refrain from passing laws which

14 and regulations which prevent full local accountability. I
15 The League of Minnesota Cities proposes the following state and federal reforms:

I 17 insufficient to meet the costs incurred by local governments.
I 18 Response: The legislature should review this issue and adopt measures that provide for
19 complete reimbursement of the costs incurred by local governments in enforcing state and

'. INTRODUCTION
This feasibility study was prepared for the City of Arden Hills to address the 1997 Street and
I Utility Improvements Project, as authorized by City Council resolution adopted at the September
I 30, 1996, City Council meeting. The feasibility study addresses the complete reconstruction,
bituminous pavement rehabilitation, or routine maintenance (seal coating) of various streets within
the City. The report is a preliminary investigation into the maintenance and reconstruction of
I various streets within Arden Hills, as outlined in the City's pavement management program.
Those streets proposed for reconstruction, rehabilitation, or seal coat maintenance are presented
below and shown in Exhibit 1.
I The streets were selected for their respective improvements based upon a combination of issues.
Those include the street's Pavement Condition Index (PCI), estimated costs of improvements, City
I funds available, and, for the streets selected for rehabilitationJreconstruction, the relative
geographic proximity to one another. Based upon the City's street improvements planning
process, information about streets selected for improvements will be presented to the public in a
I meeting in December as part of an informational gathering process. The results of that meeting
will be incorporated into the project plans and presented to the City Council in a formal public
I hearing, as required under Minnesota Statute 429, regarding the implementation of public
improvements.

I NEED, COST-EFFECTIVENESS, AND FEASIBILITY
I The proposed project is necessary as a means of both maintaining City streets as outlined in the
City's Pavement Management Program, and to bring the HamIine Avenue and Snelling Avenue
service roads into compliance with the existing City Standards required for permanent residential
I streets. This project represents the 1997 phase of the City's ongoing Pavement Management
Program, with the streets identified above clearly in need of repairs. The reconstruction of the
I Hamline Avenue and Snelling Avenue service roads will improve public safety and facilitate
routine maintenance by the Public Works Department. The specific repairs chosen for the
respective streets are the most cost-effective means available for maintaining the City streets. The
I project is feasible from both an engineering point of view and an economic perspective, and is in
accordance with City of Arden Hills standards.

~ SCOPE
The City of Arden Hills uses a comprehensive Pavement Management Program (PMP) under
which all streets were rerated in 1995. The City uses the American Public Works Association's
I (APW A) MicroP AVER software to reduce field data into a pavement condition index (PCI) rating
on a scale from 1 to 100. Streets are then selected for maintenance, rehabilitation, or
reconstruction based upon the PCI rating, Department of Public Works' history of maintenance,
I field observations, and engineering judgement. The tables shown above present streets proposed
for inclusion in the 1997 Street Reconstruction and Maintenance Improvements.
I This preliminary report was completed to analyze the feasibility of upgrading the current condition
of numerous streets within the City of Arden Hills. This feasibility study will briefly outline the
existing conditions of each street through the use of the PCI values, proposed improvements, and
. estimated project costs. The total project costs consist of estimated construction and overhead
costs, including City administration, engineering, and legal expenses. These overhead expenses
are estimated at 30 % of the construction cost, as outlined by the City of Arden Hills' assessment
. policy. This report will also address the proposed method of financing (as outlined in the City's
assessment policy) and a preliminary schedule to complete both the street maintenance and the
. overlayment/reconstruction projects during the 1997 construction season.
In an effort to prioritize street reconstruction, public opinion from potentially affected residents
.. will be solicited in addition to City staff and engineering input. For this reason, an informational
meeting is proposed early in the project process to gather all pertinent information prior to
actually initiating the formal project design. More detailed information regarding subsurface
. soils, utilities, and specific drainage issues will be addressed in a follow-up report to the City
Council after the informational meeting. The following section will outline the current conditions
and recommended improvements of streets proposed for maintenance, rehabilitation, or
. reconstruction.
EXISTING CONDITIONS AND PROPOSED IMPROVEMENTS
. Pavement Management Program (PMP)
I All of the City's streets were rated in October and November of 1995 using MicroPA VER, a
pavement management program developed by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. This program
I rates the streets based on 19 different types of distress and the level of severity of each one. The
different types of distress include longitudinal and transverse cracking, alligator cracking, bumps,
potholes, and weathering, among others. The data is collected in the field and entered into a
I computer program, which outputs a single numerical PCI rating (on a scale of 0 to 100) for each
street. Based upon PCI values, streets are prioritized for various maintenance procedures or
rehabilitation. Streets with PCI ratings of 0 to 60 are candidates for reconstruction. This can
I range from complete reconstruction to cold, in-place recycling (CIR) or bituminous reclamation,
depending upon subsurface soil conditions. Streets with ratings in the 61 to 80 range are
, candidates for rehabilitation in the form of a milling operation, followed by crack filling and the
installation of a I'/2-inch bituminous overlay. Finally, streets rated above 80 are candidates for
a crack fill and seal coat as a preventive maintenance procedure.
I FEAS-520.080 -4- 52fJ.-080-10
I
.. The pcr report for all the streets in Arden Hills is included as Appendix A. To facilitate the use
of the pavement management system, the streets were organized into five zones based upon their
I geographic proximity to one another. These zones are divided by the major highways passing
through Arden Hills. The pavement management zones are presented in Exhibit 2 and are
bounded as follows:
I Zone Location
. 1 North of 1-694 and east of TH 10
2 North of! -694 and west of TH 10
. 3 North of the Soo Line Rail easement and south of r -694
and west of Snelling Avenue
4 South of the Soo Line Rail easement and west of State
. Highway 51
5 East of State Highway 51 and south of 1-694,
. Zone 1 Street Improvements
. The proposed 1997 Street Improvements consist of upgrading streets primarily within Zone 1 of
the City's pavement management program and two additional streets from Zone 4, as well as all
. necessary seal coating. Zone 1 includes the area generally northeast of Highway 10 and west of
Lexington Avenue. The proposed work involves the reconstruction of Colleen Avenue, Colleen
Circle, James Avenue, and approximately 150 feet of Norma Avenue at Colleen Avenue, The
I Zone 1 improvements also include the bituminous overIayment of various surrounding streets as
shown in Exhibit 1.
I Colleen Avenue runs from McClung Drive to Hamline Avenue, while Colleen Circle, Norma
A venue and James A venue all intersect with Colleen A venue. Colleen A venue and Colleen Circle
had pcr ratings in 1995 of 58 and 59 respectively, indicating that bituminous overlay is no longer
. a cost-effective option for rehabilitation. The portion of Norma Avenue proposed for
reconstruction is in similar condition to Colleen Avenue and is included in the PCI rating of 58
I for Colleen Avenue. The streets consist of bituminous surface in moderate to poor condition, with
extensive areas of light and moderate severity cracking. Colleen Avenue is 2,400 feet long and
33 feet wide. Colleen Circle is 205 feet long and 33 feet wide with an 88-foot diameter cuI-de-
I sac. The portion of Norma Avenue requiring reconstruction is 33 feet wide and about 150 feet
long. All three streets have existing D418 surmountable concrete curb and gutter. All of these
streets have existing 6O-foot right-of-way widths and the Colleen Circle cul-de-sac has a 60-foot
I radius for its right-of-way.
James Avenue had a PCI of 37 in 1995, indicating structural failure. The street has extensive
I alligator cracking and patch areas. It is 625 feet long and 30 feet wide. It has D418 surmountable
curb and gutter from Colleen A venue to 137 feet south of Colleen A venue and a bituminous berm
, through the remainder of the segment. An existing storm sewer system collects runoff near Indian
Oaks Court and directs it to the wetland/pond located east of James Avenue.

It is proposed to reconstruct Colleen Avenue, Colleen Circle, and Norma Avenue using
bituminous reclamation, salvaging most of the existing concrete curb and gutter. In this process,
the existing bituminous pavement would be pulverized and mixed with the underlying aggregate
base, This material would be salvaged and used in lieu of imported aggregate base, The street
I widths would remain 33 feet, and the existing surmountable curb would be left in place or
repaired if necessary. James A venue would be reconstructed to the City of Arden Hills standard
street width of 32 feet, as measured from curbface to curbface. The existing bituminous and
I surmountable curb would be replaced with B618 concrete curb and gutter. Where necessary, the
streets would be subcut and select granular borrow and draintile would be installed, as required
by subsurface soil conditions. The proposed improvements are shown in Exhibit 3 and the
I existing soil conditions are presented in the American Engineering Testing report enclosed as
Appendix B. The storm sewer and other utilities would be upgraded as needed, based upon Public
I Works input and information obtained from the public meeting.
Two potential sanitary sewer problems on Colleen A venue were identified in the 1996
I Comprehensive Sewer Study, These are both located in the same general area of Colleen Avenue
between James Avenue and Hamline Avenue. The sanitary sewer concerns stem from a high
water table (which could be a source of infiltration and inflow) and plugging potential. Further
I analysis of these concerns will be coordinated between the engineer and the Public Works staff,
as the City may desire to make repairs while the street is under construction.
It The costs associated with these streets are included in the Project Costs portion of this report.
Zone 4 Street Improvements
I As previously indicated, two streets from Zone 4 have also been included in the 1997 Street
I Reconstruction and Maintenance Improvements. These are the Hamline A venue and Snelling
A venue service roads located near the intersections of County Road E with Snelling and Hamline
A venues. Both streets serve a small number of homes, and are the only access to their respective
I areas. They also present special problems in that they are not currently built to City standards,
each has assessable front footage on only one side of the street, and the existing right-of-way
widths limit substantial geometric improvements without additional right-of-way acquisition. The
I City and the State are currently considering a turnback of 33 feet of right-of-way at Hamline
Avenue. The Snelling Avenue right-of-way is unresolved at this time. Additional right-of-way
issues will be addressed at the public hearing..
I Hamline Avenue
I The Hamline Avenue service road is a dead-end street running north from County Road E to the
Soo Line Railroad tracks. It is 890 feet long by 23 feet wide and runs along the top of the TH
, 51 embankment providing access to seven homes on the west side of the highway. The service
road is in very poor condition, having a 1995 PCI rating of only 47. Its surface contains extensive
amounts of moderate severity longitudinal and transverse cracking and has already been patched
f' in numerous places. It currently has a shallow bituminous curb and drains toward the railroad
easement to the north and toward County Road E to the south. The service road has within its
right-of-way an 8-inch sanitary sewer and a watermain that varies from 6-inch DIP in the north

to 12-inch DIP in the south. It is proposed to reconstruct the Hamline Avenue service road to a
26-foot width with B618 concrete curb and gutter as shown in Exhibit 3. A turnaround should
be constructed at the north end of the street; however, this matter requires further investigation
because the steep highway embankment and the existing right-of-way do not allow for the
I construction of standard turnarounds. A sand subcut and draintile would be installed as dictated
by the subsurface soil conditions. Additional right-of-way may also be necessary to provide for
snow storage, Storm sewer improvements would be limited to the installation of two to four catch
I basins and approximately 100 feet of pipe. Stormwater runoff would be directed to the TH 51
right -of-way, which will require a Stormwater Discharge Permit from the Minnesota Department
I of Transportation.
The sanitary sewer on the Hamline Avenue service road has a history of odor problems; however,
I these do not appear to be related to the existing sewer main, The City should consider making
any repairs to the sanitary sewer during construction, in order to limit the disruption to the
surrounding community.
I The City may also want to consider the possibility of extending the service road north across the
railroad tracks and connecting to the existing paved road running south from Bethel Drive. This
I extension would most likely be constructed as an emergency access route, open only to emergency
vehicles. If this is desired, it would be necessary to obtain a permit from the Soo Line Railroad,
and to work closely with their representatives to coordinate the improvement.
I. Snelling Avenue
I The Snelling Avenue service road extends north from Arden Place to the east of Snelling Avenue,
and ends in a cul-de-sac approximately 20 feet south of County Road E. It is approximately 850
I feet long and 20 feet wide, with a 60 foot diameter cul-de-sac. It provides the only means of
access to seven homes and Schmidt Park, which is located between Snelling A venue and the
service road. The service road received a PCI rating of 35 in 1995. The bituminous pavement
I surface has extensive amounts of moderate and high severity alligator cracking. There is no curb
and gutter or storm sewer. Sanitary sewer service is provided by separate 8-inch sewers, with
the northern properties being served from County Road E and the southern properties being
I served from the south. There is also an 8-inch watermain which, according to city records, lies
within the street right-of-way in the south but in the north it is located outside of public right-of-
way within the park (City-owned property). It is proposed to reconstruct the Snelling Avenue
I service road to a 26 foot width with B618 curb and gutter as shown in Exhibit 3. The cul-de-sac
would be reconstructed to approximately its current dimensions due to the lack of available right-
I of-way, City standards for new construction require a larger diameter cul-de-sac, but an exception
may be granted for reconstruction of existing streets, based upon the nature of the street and the
area it serves. Storm sewer improvements would include the installation of four catch basins and
I approximately 400 linear feet of IS-inch RCP. Runoff would be directed to the storm sewer on
County Road E and to the ditch south of Arden Place, No sanitary sewer or watermain
improvements are anticipated. However, depending on future plans for the park, the City may
" want to install sewer and water services to the park.

~ The costs associated with the Zone 4 improvements are presented in the following section of this
report,
PROJECT COSTS
I The following tables present the costs associated with each type of improvement and total costs
for each alternate. Construction costs were determined using comparable construction cost data
I from 1996 with a 30% overhead factor to include City administration, engineering, and legal
expenses.
I 1997 Street hnprovements
Estimated Seal Coat Project Cost $49,000
I Estimated Bituminous Overlay Cost $103,000
Estimated Bituminous Reclamation Project Cost $248,000
I Estimated Reconstruction Project Cost $310,000
TOTAL $710.000
I PROJECT FINANCING
I. Seal Coat Financing
The City's current assessment policy states that the application of a bituminous seal coat is a
I maintenance procedure that is funded by the City. The estimated project cost to the City for the
seal coating portion of the 1997 Street Improvements Project is approximately $49,000.
I Overlay Financing
I As outlined in the City's Assessment Manual, 50 percent of the total project cost of a bituminous
overlay project may be assessed to all properties with frontage abutting a street to be overlaid.
The assessment rate is calculated by determining the front footage of properties abutting the
I overlay projects and dividing that length into one-half of the cost of the overlay portion of the
project as follows:

" Estimated Overlay Assessment Rate (Residential) $5.20 / FF
, FEAS-520.080 -10- 520-080-10
----- ------ ------------- - --------
I
As shown in the assessment calculation presented above, the City's share of the bituminous
overlay portion of the 1997 Street Reconstruction and Maintenance Improvements is estimated at
$51,500 based upon City assessment policy. The remaining $51,500 of overlay costs will be
recovered through assessments of $5.20 per front foot against benefitting property owners.
I The final overlay assessment rate would be established by City Council resolution at a later date.
I Bituminous Reclamation Financing
This portion of the 1997 Street Improvements Project includes Colleen A venue, Colleen Circle,
I and Norma Avenue. It will be funded with available city funds in addition to assessments to
benefitted properties. All of the abutting properties are zoned as R-l, single family residential.
The City's Assessment Manual outlines the method of determining the assessment to benefited
I properties abutting the improvements addressed previously. The street reconstruction portion of
the Assessment Manual states that residential property is assessed at a rate equivalent to 50 % of
I the cost for the reconstruction of a typical residential street in Arden Hills. Based upon the
estimated costs of reconstruction, the 50% assessment eligibility as outlined in the Assessment
Manual, and approximately 4,700 assessable front feet of residential frontage, the assessment
I calculation is outlined below.
Bituminous Reclamation Assessments
lit Bituminous Reclamation Assessments
I Estimated Street Reconstruction Cost $248,000
Estimated Assessment Amount (50% of Residential Street) $124,000
I Total Front Footage to be Assessed (divided by) 4,700 FF
Estimated Bituminous Reclamation Assessment Rate (Residential) $26,38
I The actual final reclamation assessment rate will be established by City Council resolution at a
later date.
I Water and sewer utilities have not yet been evaluated to determine repair or replacement needs.
Any work completed in these areas would be funded from the City's Sewer and Water Utility
I funds.
Residential Street Reconstruction Financing
I The reconstruction of James Avenue and the Hamline and Snelling Avenue service roads will also
be funded through City contributions and assessments to the abutting property owners. Since all
I of these streets are located in residential areas, 50% of the total project cost would normally be
assessed to the property owners in accordance with the City's assessment policy and as outlined
t' above. However, due to the shortage of assessable frontage on the Hamline and Snelling Avenue
service roads, the city should contribute a larger share of the project cost to reduce the assessment
rates to more closely match the typical assessment rates used in recent reconstruction projects,
I It is proposed to assess the City for up to 1,530 feet of the Schmidt Park and TH51 right-of-ways,
FEAS-520.080 -11- 520-080-10
I
matching the assessable residential front footage on the opposite side of the streets. This will
result in the City paying an additional $57,800, bringing the City's share up to 75% for these two
streets. Based upon these assumptions and the estimated costs, the assessment calculation is
outlined below.

PROJECT SCHEDULE
The following is a proposed schedule for the improvements. The critical issues in the progress
of this schedule are the scheduling of informational and public hearings. Based upon this
I schedule, it is anticipated that the construction would be complete by late September 1997.
Project Task Date
I Receive Feasibility Study, November 12, 1996
Order Public Hearing and Informational Meeting
I Hold Informational Meeting December 3, 1996
I Hold Public Hearing December 9, 1996
Order preparation of Plans and Specifications
I Approve Plans and Specifications, January 27, 1997
Order Project, and Advertise for Bids
I Order Assessment Hearing February 10, 1997
'- Open Bids February 27, 1997
City Council Receives Bids March 10, 1997
I Hold Assessment Hearing March 31, 1997
I Award Contract May 12, 1997
I Begin Construction May, 1997
Complete Construction September, 1997
I This schedule includes a 30 day appeal period between the assessment hearing and contract award.
This may be modified as required by the City Council.
I CONCLUSION
I Based upon the City's ongoing pavement management program, the streets outlined in this report
have been selected for each respective improvement or seal coat maintenance in 1997. This report
I recommends that the City complete the seal coat projects with City funds as a routine maintenance
procedure. It also recommends that the bituminous overlay and residential street reconstruction!
rehabilitation portions of the project be funded through the assessment of 50% of the project cost
, to benefitting property owners, while the City finances the remainder of the cost through available
City funds,
I FEAS-520.080 -13- 520-080-10
I
The estimated total project cost to the City is $710,000. This cost includes $49,000 for seal
coating, and $661,000 for resurfacing through bituminous overlay, pavement reclamation, or
reconstruction of city streets. In accordance with the existing City policy, half of the cost of
resurfacing city streets is recovered through assessments against abutting properties. Assessing
I at a rate of $5.20 per front foot for bituminous overlay, $26.38 per front foot for bituminous
reclamation, and $37.80 per front foot for complete reconstruction will generate $272,700 for
these portions of the project.
I The estimated cost of the seal coat portion of the project is $49,000. This will be paid for from
the annual street maintenance budget. The City has budgeted approximately $185,000 for street
I maintenance/improvement, leaving $136,000 to fund the overlay and reconstruction portions of
this project.
, The estimated remaining costs to the City total $661,000 (not including seal coating). After
factoring in approximately $271,700 in assessments, the City's share is $388,300. In addition to
I the remaining $136,000 budgeted from the annual street improvement budget, the City may utilize
funding from available PIR Funds. The Stormwater Management Fund could be used to finance
the approximately $95,000 in storm sewer improvements. The remaining $157,300 could be
, funded with some of the surplus money remaining in the PIR fund that was not already budgeted
for street improvements. Additional utility improvements, if desired, would be financed through
the City Utility Funds. Therefore, the City has approximately $552,700 in its existing budget and
'- sufficient money available in the PIR fund to finance the project with an estimated total project
cost of $710,000.
, The project would be completed in accordance with the project schedule presented on page 13,
to be complete by late September 1997.
, The 1997 Street Reconstruction and Maintenance Improvements are technically feasible from an
engineering standpoint and meets all standards set forth by the City of Arden Hills and the State
, of Minnesota.

, INTRODUCTION
'- This report presents the results of the subsurface exploration program and geotechnical review we
, recently conducted for the 1997 Street Improvement project in Arden Hills. This work is being
, performed per your October 7 acceptance of our October 7, 1996, proposal letter. Our authorized
scope of work includes the following:
, . Two (2) standard penetration test borings extending to a depth of 16' each.
, . Nine (9) flight auger test borings extending to a depth of 41/2' each.
. Soil laboratory testing (water content and sieve analysis).
, . Geotechnical engineering analysis based on the above, and preparation of this report.
, The scope of work is intended for geotechnical purposes only. This scope is not intended to explore for the
presence or extent of environmental contamination at the site.

PROJECT INFORMA TKlli
,
, The project involves reconstruction of existing streets in three separate areas of the city. This
includes the following:
I . Colleen Avenue - Hamline Avenue to McClung Drive, including Colleen Circle and James
I A venue to the south.
. Hamline A venue Service Road - Located west of Hamline, from County Road E to its
I north termination.
. North Snelling Avenue Service Road - Located east of Snelling, from Arden Place to its
, north termination.
'- We understand these street segments will be reconstructed by removing the existing pavement and
, preparing the subgrade as needed.
I We understand the streets will be rebuilt to the same general grade and width as previously
existed.
, The above streets serve residential areas; and traffic frequency is anticipated to be low and traffic
, type should be light.
, The presented project information represents our understanding of the proposed construction. This
information is an integral part of our engineering review. It is important that you contact us if there are
changes from that described so that we can evaluate whether modifications to our recommendations are
, appropriate.

I SITE CONDITIONS.
, Logs of the test borings are attached. The logs contain information concerning soil layering , soil
classification, geologic description and moisture.
, Existing Pavement
, The existing streets are bituminous surfaced, and the bituminous and apparent base thickness
I measured at each test location appears on the boring logs. Observable pavement distress is
considered moderately severe, including zones of extensive cracking, surface distortion and
, patching.
'- Sub grade SoilS
Subgrade soils in the Colleen Avenue area are predominantly sandy lean clays, which are either
, fill or natural tills. The soils predominantly meet the A-6 AASHTO Group Classification category.
A-3 sands with silt appear in the upper 3' zone at Boring #6, although the pavement quality
, appears limited by the thin pavement section and the apparent lack of a base layer at this location.
, In the Hamline Avenue Service Road area, A-6 clays are again predominant. Boring #8 suggests
, sands with silt are present within the upper 2' subgrade zone at one location, but not the second
location at Boring #9.
, Soil conditions are less favorable in the Snelling A venue Service Road area. Soils include silty
, clays, lean clays and fine grained silty sands. These soils meet the A-4 or A-6 AASHTO Group
categories. Although the A-6 soils have the same group category as the other areas, they contain
, less sand and are judged to be less favorable subgrade soils than the A-6 soils at the other project
locations. Boring #11 also includes a black clayey sand layer just below the base layer.

f' The boring logs only indicate the subsurface conditions at the sampled locations and variations often occur
I between and beyond borings.
Water Level Measurements
I Water levels were not observed within the boreholes after removal of the auger. Based on the
I available data, it appears the ground water level is beneath the termination depths of the borings.
I Ground water levels usually fluctuate. Fluctuations occnr due to varying seasonal and yearly rainfall and
snow melt, as well as other factors.
I G]:OTECHNICAL CONSIDERATIONS.
, As background to our geotechnical considerations and recommendations, we refer you to the
'- attached standard sheet entitled "Bituminous Pavement Subgrade Preparation and Design." This
sheet describes items such as test roll evaluation, subgrade drainage and the benefits of a sand
, subbase.
I Review of Soil Properties
Strength/Stability
, Based on sample review and water content testing, it is our judgment that most of the clays in the
Colleen Avenue area are slightly to somewhat over the optimum water content condition (based
, on the Standard Proctor). Therefore, much of the soils are anticipated to be slightly to moderately
, unstable. None of the soils appear to be highly unstable. Favorable subgrade stability appears to
be present at Boring #6 on James Avenue.
, Compressibility
~. Since the streets are being improved at existing elevations, roadway settlements due to deeper
compressible soils would be negligible.
,
,
I
I. AET #96-2601 - Page 5
I Relatively good stability also appears to be present at Boring #8 on the Hamline A venue Service
I Road. However, Boring #9 in the northern more southerly portion of the Hamline A venue Service
I Road appears to be slightly to moderately unstable.
I The clays below the Snelling Avenue Service Road are judged to be moderately unstable. The fme
grained silty sand layer at Boring #11 has more favorable stability.
I Drainage
I The sands with silt at Borings #6 and #8 are relatively fast draining. The fine grained silty sand
at Boring #11 is moderate draining. The remainder of the site soils are relatively slow draining
, materials. Because the fast to moderate draining soils are underlain by slow draining soils, water
can still build up unless a means of subsurface drainage is provided.
Ie Frost Susceptibility
, The sands with silt are relatively low in frost susceptibility. Otherwise, the soils are at least
moderately high in frost susceptibility. The fme grained silty sands and the silty clays at Borings
I #10 and #11 are judged to be highly frost susceptible.
, Improvement Discussion
, In cases where subgrade soils are poor draining and/or frost susceptible, it is usually desired to
place a sand subbase to better control aggregate base and upper subgrade drainage and the frost
, related distress. We understand your typical approach on Arden Hills projects is to use a sand
subbase, particularly where in place soils are unstable; although make field decisions in certain
, areas to eliminate the subbase if significant zones of the street appear favorable in its existing
condition. This approach should be feasible for your 1997 Street Improvement projects. At a few
, locations, it appears that sands are already in place in the upper subgrade zone. Also, you may
,- find some segments of road which have high levels of stability which can reduce the need for a
sand subbase (at least from a stability standpoint).
,
I
'. AET #96-2601 - Page 6
I It is our judgment the subgrade soils for the Snelling A venue Service Road are of poorer quality,
I in terms of soil support value, frost/drainage properties and ease of stability improvement. From
I a soils standpoint, this street appears to have the greatest need for a sand subbase. Although the
silty sands in the upper zone at Boring #11 are relatively stable, the silty sands are fme grained
I and have a relatively high silt content (approaching a silt classification) and these soils could
potentially have the highest frost susceptibility of all soils encountered.
I
I Sub grade Preparation
I
To prepare the subgrade for new base and bituminous placement, we recommend removal of the
Ie existing pavement materials, thereby exposing the existing subgrade. It may be possible to reuse
the old pavement materials, if they are crushed to a base-like gradation. With recycled bituminous
, materials, it is usually preferred that they be blended with soiIlgravel materials (to reduce asphalt
content) if they are to be reused as base; or that they be reused as sub grade materials (recycled
, bituminous will not meet a "Select Granular Borrow" specification).
, Based on the reconstruction approach of using a subbase layer, it is our judgment that ai'
thickness of sand should be sufficient. The in-place soils prior to subbase placement (or prior to
, base placement if no subbase is used) should be test rolled to determine stability suitability. If the
in-place soils within the subgrade are unstable (based on the test rolling or if induced by
, construction traffic), stability should be improved by means of in-place scarification, drying and
, recompaction until a test roll can be passed. An alternate to in-place soil reworking would be to
place a geotextile fabric (MnJDOT Specification 3733, Type V) below a sand subbase. A
, geotextile fabric would not be considered an equivalent offset in cases of excessive instability. If
it is necessary to vary the thickness of the subbase, we recommend the thickness have gradual
,- transitions of no steeper than 20 (horizontal):! (vertical). The subcut and sand layer placement
,
H
I
I AET #96-2601 - Page 7
.
I should extend slightly beyond the outer edge of the curb, or the paved edge (if no curb is placed)
I to maintain frost uniformity.
I New fill placed should be compacted per Mn/DOT Specification 2105.3F1 (Specified Density
I Method). This specification requires soils placed within the upper 3' sub grade zone be compacted
to a minimum of 100% of the Standard Proctor density (ASTM:D698). Soils within this upper
I zone should also maintain a water content ranging from 65% to 102% of the "optimum water
content" based on the Standard Proctor. A reduced minimum compaction level of 95% of the
I Standard Proctor density can be used below the upper 3' zone.
I We recommend fill placed as a consistent thickness sand subbase meet the requirements of a
"Select Granular Borrow" per Mn/DOT Specification 3149.2B.
'- The sand subbase should be provided with a means of subsurface drainage or prevent build-up of
, water within the sand. This can be accomplished by placing short segments of properly engineered
, drainage lines which are connected to catch basins in low elevation areas (referred to as "fmger
drains"). Where street areas are relatively level, and if fmger drains are not frequent, you should
, consider placing a longer parallel drainage line through the level area to better remove infiltrating
water.
, Sub grade Soil Factor
, Based on the encountered soil types, we recommend using a Soil Factor of 100% for the streets
in the Colleen Avenue area and in the Hamline Avenue Service Road area. We recommend the
, Soil Factor be increased to 120% for the Snelling Avenue Service Road. If a sand subbase is
placed, it is our opinion the Soil Factor will be improved to 75 % for the Colleen/Hamline areas
, and to 100 % for the Snelling area. Please note that if your approach will include eliminating a

EXPLORATION/CLASSITICATION METIIODS
SamDlin" Methods
Split-Spoon Samples (SS)
Standard penetration (split-spoon) samples were collected in general accordance with ASTM:DI586. This method
I consists of driving a 2" O.D. split barrel sampler into the in-sim soil with a 140-pound hammer dropped from a height
of 30". The sampler is driven a total of 18" into the soil. After an initial set of 6". the number of hammer blows
to drive the sampler the fmall2" is known as the standard penetration resistance or N-value.
I Disturbed Samples (DS)
Sample types described as "DS" on the boring logs are dismrbed samples. which are taken from the flights of the
auger. Because the auger dismrbs the samples, possible soil layering and contact depths should be considered
I approximate.
Sampling Limitations
I Uuless actually observed in a sample, contacts between soil layers are estimated based on the spacing of samples and
the action of drilling tools. Cobbles, boulders, and other large objects generally cannot be recovered from test
borings, and they may be present in the ground even if they are not noted on the boring logs.
I Classification Methods
Soil classifications shown on the boring logs are based on the Unified Soil Classification (USC) system. The USC
system is described in ASTM:D2487 and D2488. Where laboratory classification tests (sieve analysis or Atterberg
I Limits) have been performed, accurate classifications per ASTM:D2487 are possible, Otherwise, soil classifications
shown on the boring logs are visual-manual judgments. Charts are attached which provide information on the USC
system, the descriptive terminology, and the symbols used on the boring logs.
Ie The boring logs include descriptions of apparent geology, The geologic depositional origin of each soil layer is
interpreted primarily by observation of the soil samples, which can be limited. Observations of the surrounding
I topography. vegetation, and development can sometimes aid this judgment.
Water Level Measurements
The ground water level measurements are shown at the bottom of the boring logs. The following information appears
I under "Water Level Measurements" on the logs:
. Date and Time of measurement
I . Sampled Depth: lowest depth of soil sampling at the time or measurement
. Casing Depth: depth to bottom of casing or hollow.srem auger at rime of measurement
. Cave-in Depth: depm at which measuring tape stops in the borehole
. Waler Level: depth in the borehole where free water is encountered
I . Drilling Fluid Level: same as Water Level. except that the liquid in the borehole is drilling fluid
The true location of the water table at the boring locations may be different than the water levels measured in the
I boreholes. This is possible because there are several factors that can affect the water level measurements in the
borehole. Some of these factors include: permeability of each soil layer in profile, presence of perched water,
amount of time between water level readings, presence of drilling fluid, weather conditions, and use of borehole
I casing.
SamDle Storn!!e
I Uuless notified to do otherwise. we routinely retain representative samples of the soils recovered from the borings
for a period of 30 days,
