CITY OF ARDEN HILLS
.- MEMORANDUM
I DATE: December 15, 1997
TO: Mayor and City Council
I FROM: Terrance R. Post, City Accountant @
I SUBJECT: Resolution #97-61, Adoption of 1998 Budget
I Background
On September 8, 1997, Council adopted Resolution #97-44, which approved a preliminary 1998 budget
I for use in the preparation of Truth in Taxation statements. These statements were mailed to property
owners in mid.November by Ramsey County, and were the basis upon which the City's December 4,
1997 Truth in Taxation public hearing was held. Since September 8, 1997, a number of events and better
I information has allowed staff to refine the preliminary 1998 budget numbers into the attached 1998
proposed budget.
Overview of Cbanl'es from Preliminary to Proposed
Ie 1. The 1998 Pavement Management Program (PMP) General Fund costs of $196,200 (preliminary
figures were $192,000) are now consistent with the scope discussed at the December 8, 1997
I Council meeting.
2. Planning Consultant fees have increased $8,000 to reflect possible scope change orders on the
I Comprehensive Plan update project. The $8,000 grant from the Met Council to fund this activity
is also reflected as a 1998 General Fund revenue source.
. 3. A new Debt Service Fund has been created to reflect a planned $3,050,000 bond issuance for
Gateway public improvements. Earlier, it was assumed that this issuance would occur in 1997.
I Supporting Budget Schedules
Four attached schedules are included with this memorandum to further document the 1998 proposed
budget. They include:
I Attachment A - All Funds Expenditures
Attachment B - General Fund Expenditures, Revenues & Levy
I Attachment C - Estimated Ending Investment Balance by Fund
Attachment D . Proposed Capital Budget Summary
. Recommendation
Staff recommends that Council consider adopting Resolution #97-61, adopting the 1998 Budget.

I 1998 Budget as presented. The motion carried unanimously (4-0).
MAYOR - MEETING OVERVIEW AND PROCEDURES
I Explanation ofthe Truth-In-Taxation process and timetable
I Mayor Probst briefly described the process of the Truth-In- Taxation process and publications
that are provided to the public by the State. He pointed out the agenda for the meeting would
begin with some overall comments by himself, a summary of the proposed budget by the City
, Accountant, and then an opportunity would be available for public comments.
Mayor Probst noted the intent of the hearing was to clarify any questions residents might have
I regarding the proposed 1998 Budget for the City of Arden Hills. He noted each homeowner
should have received notices in November regarding the amount of property taxes that are
I proposed for the year 1998. The hearing is the next to the last step for the budgeting process for
1998 which actually began in May with staff and discussions of the budgeting needs. In
September, a preliminary budget was adopted. The Truth-In- Taxation hearing is being held
I tonight and, at the December 15, 1997 meeting, the Council will adopt a final budget for 1998.
Mayor Probst explained if anyone present had concerns regarding market valuations, that they
.. are done by the County Assessor. The County has given directions for the process should
anyone want to appeal their property's market valuation.

Mayor Probst explained that City Accountant Terrance Post would present an overview of the I
-I
proposed taxes, income, and expenditures for the 1998 Budget of the City of Arden Hills. Upon
completion of the summary, the City Council would entertain questions or comments from the
audience.
Review 1997 Accomplishments I
Mayor Probst noted a few of the accomplishments which have occurred over the past year: a I
new staff position of Building Inspector was created, the first Town Hall meeting was held; a
successful endeavor was held with the Parks and Recreation Department for a Day in the Park; I
the process was begun to replace non-residential water meters; and attempts made to improve
City Hall facilities by retaining an architect.
SUMMARY PRESENT A nON BY TERRANCE POST. CITY ACCOUNT ANT I
Mr. Post noted there will be a total of 15 slides in his presentation and each member of the I
audience received a copy to follow during the presentation.
Making Sense of Property Taxes I
Mr. Post indicated who determines property taxes. It is a combined effort of the State Legislature,
the Taxing Jurisdictions, and the County Assessor. Mr. Post noted the State Legislature establishes eI
property classes and class rates, determines the level of State aid, and also creates mandates to local
governments. The County Assessor determines property market value and assigns a property class.
Finally, the Taxing Jurisdiction or the City determines the levy amount based on guidelines. I
Mr. Post explained, with the use of a flow chart, the process by which a City property tax: is
determined. He used an example ofa median priced home in Arden Hills which is $140,300, where I
the City taxes would be $372.97 or $31.08 per month.
Mr. Post noted a historical review of City market values from 1992 to 1998 for the City of Arden I
Hills. He pointed out in the early 1990's, the market values on residential properties decreased but,
in payable 1995, slowly started on the upswing and now has increased to approximately $30 million I
dollars higher than in 1992. But the tax capacity hasn't changed. This has a lot to do with recent
actions the State has taken in regard to class rates.
Mr. Post noted the comparison of taxable market value changes for homes from 1996 through 1998 I
in Ramsey County. He indicated for payable 1998,66% of the homes in Arden Hills will have an
increase of between 5% and 10% of taxable market value. I
Cost of City Services in Perspective
Mr. Post reviewed what the resident's tax dollar buys in the City of Arden Hills. He noted for I
every dollar the resident pays, 15 cents will fund the City of Arden Hills' operations. He also ..
noted Ramsey County retains 39% (or 39 cents), S.LS.D. virtually 0%, School District #621
receives 41% (41 cents) and Miscellaneous is 5% (5 cents).
I
I' DRAFT
AEDI;;N HILLS TRUTH-IN- T AXAlION - DECEMBfR 4, 1997 3
I
I- Mr. Post went on to show a comparison of neighboring cities and the State Aid dollars they
receive. The average for eight of the neighboring cities is $50 per capita total aid, where Arden
Hills receives only $10 per capita aid.
I Mr. Post stated, based on the median example for a $140,300 home, residents would receive City
services for $31.08 per month. The services include police protection, administration of the City,
street maintenance, park maintenance, fire protection, Capital Funds & Recreation transfer, and
I protective inspections. He noted residents receive quality services for about the price ofmontWy
cable television service.
I Mr. Post noted another comparison of Arden Hills with seven metro area cities with populations
from 5,000 to 10,000. He noted Arden Hills, compared to its peers, spends approximately 80%
I of those in similar population ranges and receives only about 30% of State Aid compared to that
of its peers.
I Discussion of Proposed City Budget
Mr. Post indicated how the proposed 1998 Budget impacts the City taxes. He pointed out the
I impact of changes in property class rates, noting that residential taxes are increasing and
commerciaVindustrial taxes are decreasing.
Ie Mr. Post indicated the General Fund revenues are proposed at $2,521,620, of which 72% is
property taxes of$I,825,71O, charges for service 1%, intergovernmental of 13%, miscellaneous
of 5%, license and permits of 8%, and fines and forfeits of 1%.
I Mr. Post indicated the proposed General Fund expentitures budget for 1998 is broken down into
I General Operations of 21 %, Police Protection of23%, Fire Protection of 12%, Protective
Inspections of3%, Street Maintenance of2l%, Parks and Recreation of 12%, and other
Financing uses of 7%. Mr. Post noted the City is looking at a net increase of only 1.91 % in the
I City levy for 1998. This is below the levy limit maximum set by the State Department of
Revenue.
I Mr. Post indicated there are no major changes in scope of services that were provided in previous
years. Major proposed capital items include:
I Construction of City Hall Facility ($1,450,000)
Pavement Management Funding ($192,000 in the General Fund)
Replacement of Plow Truck No. 10 I ($92,000)
I Trails Expansion - County Road F by CPI ($65,000)
He pointed out that funding for the City Hall facility costs are expected to come from the
I following sources:
~ Cable TV Fund ($150,000)
Advance Refunding Fund ($900,000)
Municipal Land & Building Fund ($400,000)

Mr. Post noted the final slide in his presentation identified all City operating budgets. He also I
-I
included in the last page of information a glossary for residents to reference in looking at the
information.
Mayor Probst stated the City is pleased to note a levy increase of only 1.91 %, and not the I
maximum levy limit allowed. Mayor Probst also indicated the Council was proud with the track
record of their predecessors and the fact that Arden Hills is one of very few cities which will be
able to build a City facility without a referendum for an additional levy for funding. I
PUBLIC COMMENTS
Mayor Probst invited the audience to address the Council with any matters of concern relating to I
the proposed 1998 Budget. I
Tom Lynch, 2221 HamJine Avenue, inquired as to who is responsible for the maintenance of
berms, street lights, etc. on roads which are inherited from the County. He was concerned where I
the money comes from to maintain these acquired roadways.
Mayor Probst noted the short answer is the money comes from the taxpayer. He noted there was I
an agreement that the County would return the roadways to the City in a condition of a level 90.
Municipal State Aid (MSA) funds are used in combination with other funds to repair the
roadways. ..
Roger Aiken, 4360 Ham/ine Avenue, presented the Secretary with a summary of his questions
and concerns. Roger Aiken questioned if MSA funds are identified separately in the revenues. I
Mayor Probst indicated all information is tracked and identified in the City records.
Councilmember Malone explained for the audience that Municipal State Aid is the money I
residents pay in gas tax and that money goes into the State, so there is a finite amount available,
which is dependent upon how much is received in gas tax. The funds are received by cities I
which meet a certain criteria for a one-time opportunity and used to help repair roadways to a
level referred to as 90 or an "acceptable" level. In answer to the question, '"Will the funds be
able to support the cost of maintenance of the roads forever?", the answer would be, "No." The I
responsibilities will eventually change and, in the future, the cost will come back to the full
responsibility of the City.
Councilmember Aplikowski inquired of staff about some of the property turned back by the State I
and County.
Mr. Brian Fritsinger, City Administrator, noted the City has looked at all the areas and has I
turned to the residents to maintain the berms and grass areas along the roadways. The City is
taking inventory of those larger grass areas between the roadways and, as the process moves I
forward and more property is turned back to the City, the City is looking at funding for more
equipment to support the maintenance of the those larger areas. -.
Lois Rem, 1670 Glenview Court, inquired if the Gateway project would have an effect on Tax
Increment Financing (TIF). I
I" . DRAFT
ARDEN HILLS TRUTH-It::!- T AXA TION - DECEMBER 4. 1997 5
I
I- Mayor Probst noted it should have no shortcterm effect. Longer term, there would be a positive
effect because when the bonds are paid, the full tax collections percent will go to the School
District and County.
I Roger Aiken, 4360 Ramline Avenue, inquired as to what the incremental amount would be.
Mr. Post pointed out that number is speculative at this time, because it would be dependent upon
many factors such as the market value of the property, the tax capacity, etc. The projections are
I currently $500,000, but that would be shared by all the jurisdictions, 15% of which would be
Arden Hills.
I Mr. Fritsinger noted when it was decided to use TIF, the City projections were based on a class
rate of 3.5%, so it was designed to minimize the risk to the City.
I Mr. Aiken expressed concern regarding the use ofTIF. Mr. Aiken noted perhaps there could be
a return on investment for current residents, rather than to wait "down the road" when the
I Council and residents have changed.
Mr. Aiken complimented the Staff and Council for all their hard work. He stated he did want to
I raise concern about the expense for the Gateway development. He wanted to know if the
residents would see a return for this investment.
Ie Mayor Probst indicated he was unsure of Mr. Aiken's questioning. He noted the fundamental
logic was, once public improvements were in, it would set up the City for the remaining land so
projects that come on board would have reduced additional costs for streets, etc. to the City.
I Mr. Aiken continued to express concern regarding the annual increase of City property levies,
I when the City didn't seem to need it, and perhaps should have given the citizens a break.
Although he did note that ifno increase was given now, residents would complain in the
following years when an increase was necessary.
I Mayor Probst stated he didn't believe the City would consider rebates as the answer. He noted
the City has received the benefit of previous Councils who have set aside funds so the City is in
I the position to build facilities without additional levies or bond issues. Mayor Probst also noted
as the tax capacity is increased, everyone's taxes should start to come down.
I Mr. Aiken inquired as to street maintenance, how much is the actual increase and how much is
just different allocations. Mr. Post pointed out from the operation standpoint there are no
changes, but there are greater capital expenses.
I Mr. Aiken inquired if there was a tracking of the Gateway development. He noted again he was
wondering if the citizens would see a return on their investment. Mayor Probst noted all funds
I are identified in the City records and available for anyone to review.
.- Mr. Aiken inquired if there was a concrete dollar amount expected on the investment for the
Gateway development. Mayor Probst noted there is no such guaranteed amount and the City is
doing everything possible to safeguard the City's investment.

ARDEN HILLS TRUUHN- TAXATION - DECEMBER 4. 1997 6
Mr. Fritsinger noted the size of the bond issuance proposed to be undertaken for the Gateway I
-.
development and the reimbursement to the City was b~ed on very conservative assumptions.
The majority of the cost is covered. The items not identified, such as Staff time and the
acquisition of the Kem Milling site, are shown in the General and other funds. Also, a portion is
to be paid by the developer. I
Mr. Aiken pointed out there is a history ofTIF financing where the property is not returned to
regular taxing but, rather, it is re-circulated. Mayor Probst noted Arden Hills has always been I
very conservative and, in its history, this is only the second project where TIF has been used.
The Staff has been very rigorous to make sure TIF has been used properly. He explained there I
are limited funds and once those are repaid, the funds coming in will go to the General Fund or
regular taxing revenues made available to all jurisdictions.
Councilmember Malone offered a brief explanation ofTIF. When there is a portion of land I
which is declared by a government body as a District available for TIF funds, a developer can
request assistance by the City to develop that land. The City then spends the money to develop .
the land and retains 100% of the tax revenues until that investment for development is paid back.
In order to receive the ability to do this, the City has to pass a test to prove the necessity for the
District. Also, developers have played city against city to obtain this subsidy. I

I Dear Brian:
I We would be pleased if you would consider the Foclls News as the City of Arden Hills' official newspaper for the
year 1998 at your City Council Meeting.
We have missed working with the city this past year in placing your legals. We have always enjoyed our work-
I ing relationship with Julie and would like to have the opportunity to serve your legals needs again. As you
know. we endeavor to print each legal accurately and to follow any wlitten specifications you have included
with your legal.
I Because we realize the cities are trying to hold expenses to a minimum, we have restructured our legal rates.
We hope this will help you with the ever-spiraling budget problems we all seem to have these days. The rate
I structure for legals. effective January 1. 1998. will be:
I column width: $0.45 per line - first insertion ($4.95 per co!. in.)
$0.35 per line - subsequent insertions ($3.85 per co!. in.)
Ie 2 colu/lln width: $0.90 per line - first insertion ($9.90 per co!. in.)
I $0.70 per line - subsequent insertion ($7.70 per co!. in.)

office by Friday at noon preceding our Thursday publications. In order to expedite our service to you. please
I direct your legal notices to Focus News. attention Linda McIntyre. Legal Publications. 2819 Hamline Avenue

with you. We are having great success using E-mail or a disk and transfelTing information into our computer
I system. These procedures have made this year's legal ads error free which is what we all strive for in a legal
publication. If you have budget reports or anything done on a spread sheet. we will still continue to use your
hard copy and reduce your original to fit our p3r~r's size; therefore. no (Iisk is needed. If you have any
I questions or are in doubt on a specific legal. please give Linda a call at 633-3434.

I RE: Change Order #2
Gateway Business District, 14th Street Northeast
I PI.nning Back~round
The City of Arden Hills awarded Lametti & Sons, Inc. of Hugo, Minnesota the
Transportation Gateway Business District, 14th Street Northeast project on October 14, 1997.
-,-n,enng Lametti & Sons low bid was $713,700.00; Change Order #1 included tree clearing
n Design and grubbing work which had not been included in the original City contract (it was
I Thresher Square anticipated that the private developer would perform the work). Change Order #1
was approved by the Council on October 14, 1997 increasing the contract amount by
700 Third Street So. $17,000.00 to $730,700.00.
Minneapolis.
I MN55415
612137O-WOO Purpose of Chanl!:e Order #2
Fax 612/370-1378 Change Order #2 includes work items associated with design modifications made to
I Denv" the project by Howard R. Green after the letting of the construction contract and
items associated with change of conditions experienced on the site during
Milwaukee construction.
I Minneapolis
Newark The design modifications resulted from requests by the adjoining site developer to
Orlando raise the profile grade of 14th Street NE, perform mass grading for the roadway and
I Phoenix reconfigure the storm water ponding scheme. The mass grading was originally
Portland planned to be completed by the developer. The revised project plans require that
San Diego approximately 18,000 cubic yards of soil be imported to construct the roadway. In
I 5o.IlI, addition, City staff has added 5,000 cubic yards of borrow material to the contract
in order to replace poor materials encountered during the excavation for the deep
I sanitary sewer. The cost of the resulting earthwork items are approximately
$180,000.00.

Memorandum I

December 11, 1997
Page 2
City staff requested that additional water main valves be added to the project and that I
one water service pipe be up sized from 8 inch diameter to 10 inch diameter to
provide adequate fire flow capability. The cost of these changes are approximately
$3,800.00. I
Lametti & Sons, Inc. proposed to City staff to open cut the utilities under the
Minnesota Commercial railroad crossing in lieu of jack boring as called for in the I
plans. City staff discussed the proposed change with railroad officials and
determined that the change was acceptable as long as the temporary closure of the
crossing was coordinated with the ongoing salt supply operation located east of the I
crossing. The change should result in approximately $18,000.00 in savings to the
City.
The revised plans prepared by Howard R. Green included modifications to storm I
sewer pipe diameters which resulted from the reconfiguration of the storm water
ponding for the Welsh site, These changes were made at the request of Welsh. The I
cost of these changes is approximately $15,000.00.
During the course of constructing the sanitary sewer, the contractor has encountered ~
large concrete foundation slabs apparently from the old rendering plant. The change
order includes work associated with pulverizing the foundations into pieces small I
enough to be incorporated into the pipe backfill zone. The cost of this work is
approximately $8,500.00
Recommendation I
The Arden Hills City Engineer recommends Council approve Change Order #2
thereby increasing the contract amount by $193,726.50 from $730,700.00 to I
$924,426.50.

I CITY OF ARDEN HILLS
" MEMORANDUM
DATE: December 15,1997
I TO: Mayor and City Council
Kevin RIngwald, Community Development Director k'
I FROM:
SUBJECT: Sales and Purchase Agreement, Morris Communication Corporation
I Reouested Action
I The City Council is asked to consider the Statement ofIntent (Exhibit A) and a revised Sales and
Purchase Agreement (Exhibit B) between the City of Arden Hills and Morris Communication
Corporation (Morris).
I Back2round
The City Council initially reviewed the Sales and Purchase Agreement with Morris
I Communication Corporation (aka, Naegele) in September, 1997. Morris subsequently rejected
the agreement approved by the City Council as a result of the changing nature of this project.
'e Staff has held numerous meetings since that time with Morris. At one point, the City Council
adopted Resolution #97-50 authorizing condemnation. This action was taken in order to allow
City staff to proceed with acquisition should the negotiations break down or an impasse reached.
I The attached Statement of Intent and Sales and Purchase Agreement has been approved by
Morris officials. These documents have been altered significantly and, as a result, the City
I Council is being asked to review them once again. The basic points have not changed, but the
following will attempt to address the major issues.
I What is the Statement oflntent?
As the project scope expanded, Morris expressed a desire to clarify the future development of the
I remaining Morris property. The Statement ofIntent provides that the City will make the
development/redevelopment rights for the A TS Steel property available to Morris until
December 31,1999 (Section 3.0, A). The Statement of Intent may also be extended for two (2)
I additional years (Section 3.0, B, I and 2). In other words, Morris has recognized the need to
include the A TS property in any proposed development, to maximize the site's development
potential.

Memorandum, Sales and Purchase Agreement, Morris Communication Corporation I
Page Two
December 15,1997 --
In executing this document, the City would be agreeing to provide this property to Morris if a
number of conditions are met (Section 3.0, D). Those include:
. The development plan being consistent with the City's goals and vision, to be I
determined by the City Council at its sole discretion. I
. The TIF regulations allowing the City to reimburse itself for all of its costs.
. The development providing sufficient TIF in order for the City to reimburse itself
for all its costs. I
. Agreements being executed between Morris and the City.
Has the Purchase Price Been Chane-ed? I
The total purchase included in the Agreement remains at $25,250 (Section 3.0, A, 4).
When is the ProDosed Closin~ Date? I
As soon as possible (Section 3.0, F).
How has the Sales and Purchase A!!reement Been Amended? I
The current Agreement has been altered significantly. The Agreement was altered in order to
address several concerns or changes in the public improvements.
I. A change in the location of the stormwater retention ponds necessary as a result of the tJ
Fourteenth Street public improvement project. Initially, these were located on Welsh
property. Revisions approved by the City Council required the pond to be relocated to I
Morris property. As a result, Morris has agreed to donate the land (tax advantage) so that
the pond can be located on this property at ill!. cost to the City (Section 3.0, B). I
2. The City will amend its zoning ordinance related to the changes in billboard location and
size. The intent of the amendment to the ordinance has not changed from the original I
agreement by the City Council (Section 3.0, 1,1).
3. The language regarding the relocation of the remaining billboards has been amended I
significantly (Section 3.0, I, 3). Originally, this language was non-specific and called for
the changes to be made by mutual consent.
Morris has requested that the language be made more specific to each sign. This has been I
the item that has caused much of the delay in executing the agreement. Specifically, the
Council should note the increase in height to each billboard (Sections 3.0, I, 3, a and b). I
The incorporated language is such that it will allow the signs to be raised to the heights
identified in the Sales and Purchase Agreement (up to a 10 foot increase to Billboard #3 I
and a up to a 20 foot increase to Billboard #4) (Exhibit C). However, it is the slated
intent of both parties to work with other parties to try and reduce these increases (Section
3.0, I, 3, b, 4). tilt

I Memorandum, Sales and Purchase Agreement, Morris Communication Corporation
Page Three
it December 15, 1997
There exists a "jersey barrier" (a 5-6 foot high concrete median) that was installed by
I MnDOT in the middle of the 1-35W and 1-694 bridge which interferes with the readability
of the lower portion of Billboard #3. Thus, the request by Morris to increase the height of
Billboard #3 up to 10 from its current height.
I There exists a small grouping of trees on the Vaughan property, and partially on MnDOT
right-of-way, which would interfere with readability of the proposed east face of
I Billboard #4. Thus, the request by Morris to increase the height of Billboard #4 up to 20
feet from its current height.
I Obviously, the Staff would have preferred to bring a Sales and Purchase Agreement to
the City Council which had no increase in height for any of the billboards. However after
months of negotiations, the attached Statement of Intent/Sales and Purchase Agreement is
I the best deal that the Staff has been able to negotiate for the City with Morris, short of
taking our chances in a condemnation proceedings, which is an option that the City
Council should weigh in its decision making process.
I 4. There are other changes in the Sales and Purchase Agreement, but most are minor in
.. nature. Two other key points to keep in mind are:
. The City Council is agreeing to vacate the abandoned sanitary sewer easement
I which crosses through the Morris property (Section 3.0, A, I).
. Morris shall provide notice to the tenants of billboards # 1 and #2 that their leases
are terminated (Section 3.0, C).
I Recommendation
The City Council is asked to approve the Statement ofIntent and Purchase Agreement with
I Morris Communication Corporation substantially in the form presented, subject to nonsubstantial
changes being approved by the City's Attorneys and City Administrator, and authorize the
Mayor and City Administrator to execute all necessary documentation.

I CITY OF ARDEN HILLS
~ MEMORANDUM
DATE: December 12, 1997
I TO: Mayor and City Council
I FROM: Brian Fritsinger, City Administrat@
SUBJECT: Purchase and Sale Agreement, Welsh Development Company, LLC
I Requested Action
I The City Council is asked to consider the approval of the Purchase and Sale Agreement between
the City of Arden Hills and Welsh Development Company, LLC.
I Background
The City Council, at its September 22, 1997 Special meeting, reviewed and approved the
Purchase and Sale Agreement with Welsh. Since that time, substantial changes have been made
I to the agreement, and staff would like the City Council to review these changes. The agreement
initially approved by the City Council contained several key underlying assumptions. They
included:
.. 1. The purchase price for the property is $408,640. Assuming that the developer
I adheres to the prescribed build out schedule, $85,255 of the purchase price, the
"Remaining Portion" may be forgiven; otherwise $85,255 is due and payable on
December 31,1999.
I 2. At closing, the purchaser shall pay to the seller $323,385 by cash or certified
check. This purchase price will be reduced by $4,060 to remove gas piping on the
I property, and $8,210 to remove water main piping on the property. Thus, the net
cash at closing was expected to be $311,115 ($323,805 - $4,060 - $8,210).
I 3. Assuming that the Kem Milling foundation removal costs are not known at the
closing, an amount not to exceed $61,405 shall reimburse the purchaser for such
costs at the time that they are known.
I 4. Additionally, the purchaser has agreed to upgrade the brick exterior of Phases II,
III and IV. Seller has further agreed to reduce the purchase price by up to
I $200,000 for the purchaser documented cost of such upgrade.
I Therefore, the City's expectation of funds to be remitted by Welsh to the City at the time of
closing by cash or certified check was as follows:

7. Lowest Possible Sales Price $ 49.710
Ongoing Negotiations I
As the City Council is aware, negotiations with Welsh have continued as late as one week ago.
The change in site plans, discovery from construction and financing requirements have caused I
many issues to be brought to the table. During this time, Welsh representatives raised the issue
of not having sufficient financing to deliver $311,115 in cash or certified check at closing. They
proposed having an immediate write down to $49,710 at the time of closing. City representatives I
objected to this proposal as the leverage of having Welsh perform on a not to exceed basis with
respect to both the foundation removal ($61,405) and the brick upgrade $200,000) would be I
gone. The Council might recall that the approvals granted for additional assistance were based
upon some stringent "not to exceed" language. The basic issue of contention was trying to
develop language acceptable to both parties which incorporated the intentions of the City I
Council.
Current Purchase Price I
As a result, staff negotiated additional language under Section 2 of the agreement which meets
the spirit of the original purchase price and addresses both parties' concerns. This language is --
based on the following:

I $261,405, ($61,405 + $200,000). The Note would be due and payable on
May 1, 1998.
I 2. Upon satisfactory completion of the foundation removal and soil correction work
(on May I, 1998):
I a. Welsh would issue a cashier's check to the City in the amount of $261 ,405
as indicated in the Promissory Note; and

MEMORANDUM

TO: Mayor and City Council .
I FROM: K~I. W.gw.ld, C'mm~ity Dml..m'.' D"''''~
I SUBJECT: Case #97-06, Re-approval- Final Plat
Welsh Companies, 4000 Round Lake Road
1 Reouest
The applicant is requesting re-approval of the final plat (Gateway Addition) to facilitate the
construction of a three phase office/industrial project consisting of a 104,532 square foot
1 building (Phase II), 115,575 square foot building (Phase III), and a 102,360 square foot building
(phase IV) on a 31.76 acre site zoned Gateway Business (Exhibit A).
I Backli'"round
The Planning Commission on July 2,1997 recommended approval of the preliminary and final
plat in Planning Case 97-06, subject to numerous conditions. The City Council on July 14,1997,
Ie approved the preliminary plat in Planning Case 97-06. The City Council approved the final plat
on September 22, 1997.
I The City Code (Subdivision Ordinance) in Section 22-4, (b), (4), states that; "If the fmal plat is
approved by the city council, the subdivider shall record it with the county recorder or rcgistrar
I of titles within sixty (60) days after the date of approval; or otherwise, the approval of the final
plat shall be considered void ...". Given that the City Council approved the final plat on
Monday, September 22, 1997, then the final plat would have to been recorded by Friday,
1 November 21,1997.
Given the delays on developer's side (purchasing the Harstad property) and on the City's side
1 (purchasing the Naegele property) the date to record the plat slipped by both parties. It is
anticipated that the plat will be recorded within the next 60 days.
1 Recommendation
The Staff would recommend the re-approval of Planning Case 97-06 for an additional 60 days
(Friday, February 13, 1998), based on the applicant and the City believe the plat will be filed
1 within this time period, subject to the conditions of approval as stated in the City Council's
approval of Planning Case 97-06 on September 22,1997.

I Re: Planning Case #97-06, Planned Unit Development (PUD) Final
Plans and Final Plat, Welsh Development Company, LLC
I Dear Mr. Ringwald:
I The above referenced received final approval before the City Council at its
regular meeting on September 22, 1997. As you know, a number of matters
have intervened, including, among other things, acquisition of the Harstad
Ie and Naegele parcels by Welsh Development and the City of Arden Hills,
respectively, which has resulted in a brief delay in project execution.
I As you also know, we are now poised to close on all the property transfers in
the near future.
I I am therefore requesting by this letter that the City Council be asked to
consider and reapprove the above referenced at its next regular meeting.
I Should you have any questions please call.
Very truly yours,

CITY OF ARDEN HILLS
. MEMORANDUM
DATE: December 11, 1997
TO: Mayor and City Council
I FROM: Brian Fritsinger, City Administrato@
SUBJECT: 1998 Pay Plan
I Requested Action
I The council is asked to consider changes to the 1998 Pay Plan.
Background
I The Arden Hills City Council historically has amended its Pay Plan at the beginning of each
calendar year. The proposed changes to the 1998 Plan were discussed several times as part of the
Local 49 negotiations.
I During 1997, the City Council negotiated a labor agreement with the Local 49 which included a
3% increase in base pay and an additional $10 per month to be contributed to the insurance
.. premiums. These figures were included in the 1998 Budget, which was adopted earlier this
evemng.
I The effect of the increase of 3% on pay ranges is shown in Attachment A. Staff has also
reviewed the duties associated with the Public Works Superintendent position. As a result of the
I changes created in the position two years ago, the duties being requested of this position are
more consistent with that of a Public Works Director. This analysis would support an adjustment
in pay equity points and pay range related to this position. The City will remain in compliance
I with pay equity requirements after this change.
Recommendation
I Staff recommends the City Council move to approve the 1998 Pay Plan as attached.

. SUBJECT: Acquisition of digital aerial photography
I ReQuest
The City Council is requested to authorize the acquisition of digital aerial photography for the
City of Arden Hills and approve of Phase I, Part 2 of the GIS program.
I What is digital aerial photographv
Digital aerial photography takes the latest aerial photography (Metropolitan Council, Spring of
I 1996) and transforms that photography into an electronic file. Essentially the product that the
City would receive is an aerial photograph of the City which would reside in the City's
computer. This product would have a horizontal accuracy of three feet. The cost to have this
Ie product completed by Markhurd Photography is $6,817.00 (Exhibit A).
The City through the joint powers agreement it signed with the Ramsey County GIS Users Group
I has the ability to jointly purchase this product with other user cities. The City Council may
remember that when the GIS purchases were originally approved by the City Council, on
1 February 24,1997, that the cost participation for the digital aerial photography which supports
Phase I, Part 2 of the GIS program had yet to be determined. The Staff stated that it would return
to for approval of Phase I, Part 2 of the GIS program and acquisition of digital aerial
I photography when the cost for the photography became known.
What are some uses for digital aerial ohotol!raphy
I The product will allow for the inclusion of aerial photography as one of the layers of information
used in GIS program. Specifically, the product will allow for the quick and accurate
identification of road, lake, and building edges. For example, if the engineer was evaluating
I storm water run-off in a particular area, the engineer could easily compute the size of a parking
lot (ie., road edge) which may be contributing to the particular problem. Also, trying to
determine relationships of and distances between houses (building edges) could be shown in a
I variance case. Lastly, being electronic, all of this information can be portrayed as part of Staffs
memorandum or be printed out as a hard copy (paper).

What is Phase I. Part 2 of the GIS program .
Phase I, Part I of the GIS program (conducted by PlanSight) constructed the parcel information,
road name/centerlines, zoning designations, comprehensive plan designations, and the existing
land uses for the City. Phase I, Part II of the GIS program would construct the
lakes/streams/ditches/wetlands, building footprints, road edges, and aerial photography into the
GIS. The cost to have this product completed by PlanSight is $1,475.00 (Exhibit B).
Budget Imoact
The requested purchases, in total, would result in an unbudgeted 1997 capital expenditure of -
$8,292.00. The Staff will be requesting that the North Metro I-35W Corridor Coalition to pay
for the digital aerial photography ($6,817.00) for the corridor cities. If the Staff is unsuccessful -
in obtaining this funding from the Coalition, then the Staff would request authorization to utilize .
City funds for the digital aerial photography. The Staff and the Coalition had always anticipated
that the participating cities would themselves pay for Phase I, Part 2 of the GIS program. I
Recommendation
The Staff requests that the City Council authorize the expenditure of up to $8,292.00 to purchase .
digital aerial photography for the City and commence Phase I, Part 2 of the GIS program, based
on the understanding that the Staff will first request the North Metro I-35W Corridor Coalition to .
pay for the digital aerial photography ($6,817.00) for the corridor cities and if unsuccessful, then
will utilize City funds.

GIS & PlANNING TECHNOLOGIES
. Drart North Metro 35W Corridor Coalition GIS Proiect Outline
Introduction:
This document is intended to outline the information required to initiate the development and
implementation ofa regional ars program for the North Metro 35W Corridor Coalition, The GIS program
discussed here is similar in scope to the GIS program being developed by the Dakota County Economic
Development Partnership, Implemented correctly. a regional GIS program could prove to be an ideal way
for the live cities of the North Metro 35W Corridor Coalition (Arden Hills. Mounds View: New Brighton.
- Roseville, and Shoreview) to address common planning and economic development issues facing the area,
. The North Metro 35W Corridor Coalition has at least three advantages that the DCEDP does not. First. the
size of the proposed project area is substantially smaller than the area in Dakota County, Second, the project
I would benefit from having the latest topological data from recent aerial photos. which will reduce the
amount of added labor necessary to update existing buildings. roads. etc, Third, the t'orth Metro 3SW
Corridor Coalition has a much stronger and more identifiable common interest: I-3SW, These advantages
I mean that a North Metro 35W Corridor Coalition GIS project: similar to DCEDP's GIS Program. would be
much more manageable from both an administrative and a technical perspective. resulting in lower costs and
a completion in a shorter time-frame_
I The following pages outline the data and procedures necessary for developing a GIS project for the 3SW
Corridor that focuses on Commercial and Industrial areas, Estimated time and cost figures are covered as
well, The project has been broken into several phases to make it more manageable_ Phase I deals with
Ie bringing each city in the group up to a common level concerning their ars databases, Phase II outlines the
opportunity for joint training once the data in Phase I is available, Phase 1II involves a CommerciallIndustrial
inventory that would provide the cities with the information necessary to promote economic development
and redevelopment along the 3SW Corridor, Phase IV addresses the potential need for custom GIS
1 applications that could be developed and shared among the group, Phase V is a brief discussion of methods
for making the commercial/industrial data more accessible to the public_
I Phase I - Base Data Development:
Phase I has been split into two parts due to the availability of data, The data required for Part I is currently
available from Ramsey County and the participating cities, The data needed for Part 2 ...ill come from the
I aerial photos taken this spring. This data will not be ready until at least this fall, As soon as the data is
available from the county: Part 2 can be undertaken,
I Phase I - Part I:
Part I involves the development of the "core" data that will be used in the project, The core data should
include parcels. roads. zoning designations, comprehensive plan designations. and existing land use
designations. Also included in Part I is the creation of maps from the data for editing and presentation
I purposes, Following is a brief discussion of issues surrounding the core data:
~: Ramsey County has completed its update to parcelsllots for all five cities, The county maintains
I information on both lots and parcels (a combination of several lots), For the purposes of this project. parcels
should be the primary base layer, There is some question as how to best organize the relationship between
lots and parcels when dealing with both ArcCad and ArcView, The county. however, is flexible in the way
they provide the data and format issues should be easily overcome, A more important consideration is how
I up-to-date the data is. The completed parcel layer recently obtained by the City of Roseville suggests that
the parcel data has not been updated for as much as a year, At this point it is not clear whether or not the
~ 1 406 South Greeley Street. Sune 2 - Stillwater, MN 55082 - 612/351-1318
I
.o/~
county will be able to update the data in time for this project. Therefore. the cost of adding new parcels to
the county's parcel layer has been included in the project,
Road Names/Centerlines: [t is important to have road names that are viewable at a number of different .
scales, This means the road names provided by the county will have to be re-scaled and repositioned for
maximum legibility, Road names can be garnered from the Ramsey County centerline database. The
centerUnes themselves may prove useful for the participating cities and should be included in the project. No
updating or improvements of this layer is expected, Symbols for interstate highways, state highways, etc,
should also be added,
Zoninu Desiunations: Up-to-date zoning designations will need to be provided by each city in digital or hard --
copy formats (maps). A new G[S coverage based upon the zoning information should be created, The
zoning data should also be added to the parcel coverage for ease of referencing in ArcView,
Comorehensive Plan Desiunations: Up-to-date comprehensive plan designations will need to be provided by -
each city in digital or hard copy formats (maps), A new GIS coverage based upon the comprehensiv'e plan .
information should be created, The comprehensive plan data should also be added to the parcel coverage,
Existinu Land Ifse Desi2nations: Up-to-date land use designations will need to be provided by each city in .
digital or hard copy formats (maps), A new G[S coverage based upon the land use information should be
created, The land use data should also be added to the parcel coverage, Land use data may also be
available from other sources (i.e, met council: Ramsey county. etc,), It will be the responsibility of each city .
to verity the accuracy of the data used,
MaoDinu: Four maps should be created for each city: a base map. a zoning map, a comprehensive plan map: I
and an existing land use map, In addition, maps for each of these categories should be created for 1-35W
corridor area, These full color GIS maps should include acreage and percent of each designation. The colors
used for each designation in each city should be similar for visual consistency (yellows/orangeslbrowns =
residential: reds = commercial, grays - industrial, etc.) It is possible that printing costs for editing purposes ..
and final map output may be mitigated by using existing printers in each city. therefore: printing
arrangements should be further explored, At a minimum, each city should receive a hard copy and a digital
file (suitable for in-house printing) for each of the following: .
Base Map (Monochrome)
I copy in small report format (8-1/2xll) .
I copy in large report format (llxI7)

. Additional copies, mounting. laminating. framing. etc, should be the responsibility of each city and is not
included in the estimated cost of the project,
- Phase [ - Part 2:
- The second half of Phase [ involves integrating the data obtained from miscellaneous sources including the
. aerial photos taken this spring, The topo data expected to be available for the corridor area includes
building footprints, road edges, bridges, hydrography, railroads, etc, it will be important to have Ramsey
County deliver as much of this data as possible in polygon format This will insure that acreage for lakes,
I building footprints, etc, can be detennined, G[S data obtainable from other sources could include wetlands,
flood zones. soils: existing land use: demographics, elC, It is e~pected that some of these layers of
infonnation will be desirable in the project, therefore, cost figures for these have been grouped under the
I heading "miscellaneous data", Following is a brief discussion of the data most likely utilized:
HvdroQraohv: lakes. streams. rivers, ditches, ponds: etc, will be obtained from the county_ Names will be
added to water bodies as needed,
1 BuildinQ Footorints: Building footprints will be a key data layer in any commerciaVIndustrial application.
Any available infonnation on commerciallindustrial buildings can be linked to the footprints to allow the GIS
Ie user to perfonn a number of queries, The types of data linked to the footprints is outlined in Phase III -
Commercial & Industrial Inventoty,
Road EdQes' Road edges would be important if it becomes necessary to calculate square footage of roads or
I parking areas, There would be a substantial amount of worked needed to create polygons from the road
edge data, [t will be up to the group to determine the usefulness of this data. Cost figures for preparing this
data have been included,
I DiQital Aerial Photos: Scans of the aerial photos can be integrated into the G[S for reference purposes,
They may even be used as backdrops for maps, The amount of storage space required for this data may be
1'-.- an issue, Potential storage options may be available including write-able CDs: ZIP or JAZZ drives: etc.

I CITY OF ARDEN HILLS
,.
MEMORANDUM
I DATE: December IS, 1997
TO: Mayor and City Council
I FROM: Kevin Ringwald, Community Development Director ~
I
SUBJECT: Acquisition of digital aerial photography
I Request
The City Council is requested to authorize the acquisition of digital aerial photography for the
City of Arden Hills and approve of Phase I, Part 2 of the GIS program.
I What is digital aerial photographv
Digital aerial photography takes the latest aerial photography (Metropolitan Council, Spring of
I 1996) and transforms that photography into an electronic file. Essentially the product that the
City would receive is an aerial photograph of the City which would reside in the City's
computer. This product would have a horizontal accuracy of three feet. The cost to have this
.. product completed by Markhurd Photography is $6,817.00 (Exhibit A).
I The City through the joint powers agreement it signed with the Ramsey County GIS Users Group
has the ability to jointly purchase this product with other user cities. The City Council may
remember that when the GIS purchases were originally approved by the City Council, on
I February 24,1997, that the cost participation for the digital aerial photography which supports
Phase I, Part 2 of the GIS program had yet to be determined. The Staff stated that it would return
to for approval of Phase I, Part 2 of the GIS program and acquisition of digital aerial
I photography when the cost for the photography became known.
What are some uses for digital aerial photoeranhv
I The product will allow for the inclusion of aerial photography as one of the layers of information
used in GIS program. Specifically, the product will allow for the quick and accurate
identification of road, lake, and building edges. For example, if the engineer was evaluating
I storm water run-off in a particular area, the engineer could easily compute the size of a parking
lot (ie., road edge) which may be contributing to the particular problem. Also, trying to
I determine relationships of and distances between houses (building edges) could be shown in a
variance case. Lastly, being electronic, all of this information can be portrayed as part of Staffs
memorandum or be printed out as a hard copy (paper).

,
What is Phase I. Part 2 of the GIS nroll"ram I
Phase I, Part I of the GIS program (conducted by PlanSight) constructed the parcel information, ..
road name/centerlines, zoning designations, comprehensive plan designations, and the existing
land uses for the City. Phase I, Part II of the GIS program would construct the
lakes/streams/ditches/wetlands, building footprints, road edges, and aerial photography into the I
GIS. The cost to have this product completed by PlanSight is $1,475.00 (Exhibit B).
Budl!et Impact I
The requested purchases, in total, would result in an unbudgeted 1997 capital expenditure of
$8,292.00. The Staff will be requesting that the North Metro 1-35W Corridor Coalition to pay
for the digital aerial photography ($6,817.00) for the corridor cities. If the Staff is unsuccessful I
in obtaining this funding from the Coalition, then the Staff would request authorization to utilize
City funds for the digital aerial photography. The Staff and the Coalition had always anticipated
that the participating cities would themselves pay for Phase I, Part 2 of the GIS program. I
Recommendation
The Staff requests that the City Council authorize the expenditure of up to $8,292.00 to purchase I
digital aerial photography for the City and commence Phase I, Part 2 of the GIS program, based
on the understanding that the Staff will first request the North Metro 1-35W Corridor Coalition to I
pay for the digital aerial photography ($6,817.00) for the corridor cities and if unsuccessful, then
will utilize City funds.

I GIS & PlANNING TECHNOLOGIES
it Draft North Metro 35W Corridor Coalition GIS Proiect Outline
I Introduction:
This document is intended to outline the information required to initiate the development and
1 implementation of a regional GIS program for the North Metro 35W Corridor Coalition, The GIS program
discussed here is similar in scope to the GlS program being developed by the Dakota County Economic
Development Partnership, Implemented correctly. a regional GlS program could prove to be an ideal way
for the live cities of the North !>Letro 35W Corridor Coalition (Arden Hills, Mounds View, New Brighton.
I Roseville. and Shoreview) to address common planning and economic development issues facing the area,
The North Metro 35W Corridor Coalition has at least three advantages that the DCEDP does not. First, the
size of the proposed project area is substantially smaller than lhe area in Dakota County, Second. the project
I would benefit from having the latest topological data from recent aerial photos. which will reduce the
amount of added labor necessary to update e,osling buildings, roads. etc, Third. the North Metro 35W
Corridor Coalilion has a much stronger and more identifiable common interest: 1.35W, These advantages
I mean that a North Metro 35W Corridor Coalition G!S project. similar to DCEDP's GIS Program, would be
much more manageable from both an administrative and a technical perspective, resulting in lower costs and
a completion in a shorter time.frame,
I The following pages outline the data and procedures necessary for developing a GIS project for the 35W
Corridor that focuses on Commercial and Industrial areas, Estimated time and cost figures are covered as
well. The project has been broken into several phases to make it more manageable, Phase I deals with
Ie bringing each city in the group up to a common level concerning their GlS databases, Phase II outlines the
opportunity for joint training once the data in Phase I is available, Phase 1I1 involves a Commercialf[ndustrial
inventory that would provide the cities with the information necessary to promote economic development
and redevelopmem along lhe 35W Corridor. Phase IV addresses the potential need for custom GIS
1 applications that could be developed and shared among the group, Phase V is a brief discussion of methods
for making the commerciaVindustrial data more accessible to the public,
I Phase 1- Base Data Development:
Phase 1 has been split into two pam due to the availability of data, The data required for Part I is currently
1 available from Ramsey County and the participating cities, The data needed for Part 2 will come from the
aerial photos taken this spring, This data will not be ready until al least this fall, As soon as the data is
available from the county, Part 2 can be undertaken,
I Phase I - Pari I:
Part 1 involves the development of the "core" data lhat will be used in the project. The core data should
include parcels. roads, zoning designations, comprehensive plan designations, and existing land use
I designations. Also included in Part I is the creation of maps from the dala for editing and presentation
purposes, Following is a brief discussion of is sues surrounding the core data:
Parcels: Ramsey County has completed its update to parcelsllots for all five cities, The county maintains
I information on both lots and parcels (a combination of several lots), For the purposes of this project, parcels
should be the primary base layer, There is some question as how to best organize the relationship between
lots and parcels when dealing with both ArcCad and ArcView, The county: however, is flexible in the way
I they provide the data and format issues should be easily overcome, A more important consideration is how
up.to-date the data is, The completed parcel layer recently obtained by the City of Rosevi\le suggests that
the parcel data has not been updated for as much as a year. At this point it is not clear whether or not the
tI' 1406 South Greeley Street - Suite 2 - Stillwater, MN 55082 - 612/351-1318
I
.o/~ 'I
county will be able to update the data in time for this project Therefore: the cost of adding new parcels to I
the county's parcel layer has been included in the project,
Road Names/Centerlines: It is important to have road names that are viewable at a number of different -.
scales, This means the road names provided by the county will have to be re-scaled and repositioned for
maximum legibility, Road names can be garnered from the Ramsey County centerline database, The
centerlines themselves may prove useful for the participating cities and should be included in the project No I
updating or improvements of this layer is expected, Symbols for interstate highways, state highways. elC,
should also be added,
Zonin2 Desi2nations: Up-to.date zoning designations will need to be pro,ided by each city in digital or hard I
copy formats (maps), A new GIS coverage based upon the zoning information should be created, The
zoning data should also be added to the parcel coverage for ease of referencing in ArcView,
Comprehensive Plan Desi2nations: Up-to-date comprehensive plan designations will need to be provided by I
each CilY in digital or hard copy formats (maps). A new G[S coverage based upon the comprehensive plan
infonnation should be created, The comprehensive plan data should also be added to the parcel coverage.
Existin2 Land Use Desi2nations: Up-to-date land use designations will need to be provided by each city in I
digital or hard copy fonnats (maps). A new GIS coverage based upon the land use infonnation should be
created, The land use data should also be added to the parcel coverage, Land use data may also be
available from other sources (Le, met council. Ramsey county. etc,), It will be the responsibility of each city I
to verify the accuracy of the data used,
Maooin2: Four maps should be created for each city: a base map, a zoning map, a comprehensive plan map. I
and an existing land use map. In addition, maps for each of these categories should be created for 1-35W
corridor area, These full color GIS maps should include acreage and percent of each designation, The colors
used for each designation in each city should be similar for visual consistency (yellows/orangeslbrowns = tJ
residential, reds = commercial: grays - industrial. etc.) It is possible that printing costs for editing purposes
and final map output may be mitigated by using existing printers in each city. therefore: printing
arrangements should be further explored, At a minimum. each city should receive a hard copy and a digital
file (suitable for in-house printing) for each of the following: I
Base Map (Monochrome)
I copy in small report format (S-I/2xll) I

. Additional copies. mounting. laminating, framing. etc, should be the responsibility of each city and is not
included in the estimated cost of the project,
Phase { - Part 2:
The second half of Phase I involves integrating the data obtained from miscellaneous sources including the
- aerial photos taken this spring, The topo data expected to be available for the corridor area includes
building footprints: road edges. bridges. hydrography. railroads, etc, it will be imponant to have Ramsey
I County deliver as much of this data as possible in polygon format, This ....ill insure that acreage for lakes,
building footprints: elC, can be determined, GIS data obtainable from other sources could include wetlands.
flood zones. soils. existing land use: demographics. etc, It is expected that some of these layers of
information will be desirable in the project. therefore, cost figures for these have been grouped under the
I heading "miscellaneous data". Following is a brief discussion of the data most likely utilized:
Hvdroeraohv: Lakes. streams. rivers. ditches: ponds. etc, will be obtained from the county, Names will be
I added to water bodies as needed,
Buildin2 Footorints: Building footprinls will be a key data layer in any commerciaVlndustrial application.
Any available information on commerciaVindustrial buildings can be linked to the footprints to allow the GIS
Ie user to perform a number of queries, The types of data linked to the footprints is outlined in Phase III -
Commercial & Industrial Inventory,
I Road Ed2es: Road edges would be imponant if it becomes necessary 10 calculate square footage of roads or
parking areas, There would be a substantial amount of worked needed to create polygons from the road
edge data, [t will be up to the group 10 determine the usefulness of this data, Cost figures for preparing this
data have been included,
1 Dieital Aerial Photos: Scans of the aerial photos can be integrated into the GIS for reference purposes,
They may even be used as backdrops for maps, The amount of storage space required for this data may be
1.-.--" an issue, Potential storage options may be available including write-able CDs. ZIP or JAZZ. drives. etc.

,. MEMORANDUM
DATE: December 12, 1997
I TO: May.".d c;ty C...cil .fii!J
I FROM: Brian Fritsinger, City Administrat
SUBJECT: Codification, Chapters 1 - 10
I Background
I The City has finally received the second draft to the revised Chapters 1 - 10 of the Arden Hills
Municipal Code. The Council received these chapters in last week's mail packet. The following
is intended to raise questions pertaining to the chapters of the Code identified below.
I Chapter 1- Code Introduction
The City Council initially reviewed Chapter I in July, 1995 and in October, 1996. The City
I Council did not have a great deal of comment on Chapter I.
Chapter I reviews the general provisions and introduction of the Municipal Code. Chapter 1 has
Ie generally been reorganized, but only two significant additions or changes have been proposed.
The first is the addition of Section 120.05. The second is the change in Section 120.03 to the
I language addressing fines.
I have also discussed with the LMC the definitions included in this chapter. LMC has indicated
I that the definitions here should be as consistent with the Zoning Ordinance as possible. As a
result, several definitions need additional revisions.
I Chapter 2 - Administration
The City Council also reviewed Chapter 2 in July, 1995 and in October, 1996. Additional
changes have been made based on Council feedback.
I Major changes or issues to be considered in Chapter 2 are:
I Section 210.02
Salary changes have been updated per previous Council action. The City Council may
wish to consider additional changes. The average salary for our neighboring
I communities is:
Mayor - $7,600/year
I Councilmembers - $5,892/year
fI
I
~

The average salary for communities with a population of 2,500 to 10,000 is:
Mayor - $3,200/year I
Councilmembers - $2,4l0/year
Section 210.03, Subd. 1 I
The Council may wish to amend language on the date for the first meeting of the year.
There is no statutory obligation to hold meetings on this date.
Section 220.02 I
The City needs to add language on the Economic Development Authority (EDA)
Section 220.03 I
Should be deleted based on previous Council action.
Section 220.04 I
The Council may wish to amend the forty-five (45) days for action required by the I
Planning Commission. With the new sixty (60) day limit on Council action, this could
present some problems.
Section 220.05 ..
Changed to reflect contracting for services in the area of fire protection.
Section 240.01 I
Deleted as directed by Council, corresponds with new Policy Manual being considered by
City Council. I
Chapter 3 - Licenses and Regulations
The City Council first reviewed Chapter 3 in February, 1997. Other ordinances which the City I
requested to have incorporated into this chapter by the LMC, but were not included, were
Tobacco, Telecommunications, and Courtesy Benches. I
Section 310.01 (B)
Amended to allow for strong beer sales. I
Section 310.03 & 310.04
Council deleted this in 1994. I
Section 320.09 (C)
Council should discuss the use of permits for garage sales. It is issued at no fee in order I
to track the number of sales held each year by a homeowner.

I Memorandum - Codification, Chapters I - 10
,. Page Three
December 12, 1997
Section 330.01, Subd. 2, II, (H), 3
I Council may want to discuss the rationale being our desire to restrict hours of operation.
Section 330.03
I The City may want to consider amending this portion of the ordinance to allow for
massage therapists. The League did not have any suggested language for this issue.
I Section 330.04
The City may want to discuss the licensing of taxi cabs.
I Chapter 4 - Animals and Pets
This chapter has now been revised to incorporate Ordinances 300 and 301, which were adopted
I by the City several years ago. The League has only made minor definition changes.
Section 400.01, Subd. 3 and Section 420
I The LMC is re-drafting this language to make it more clear.
Chapter 5 - Alcoholic Reveral!es
Ie This is from former Chapter 3 of the Arden Hills Code.
Section 500.02, Subd. 3
I In order to assist with possible problems with strip joints, I have added language on
nudity.
I Section 510.01, Subd. 2, (C)
Language has been added to our On-Sale Wine License to allow for the sale of strong
beer.
I Section 510.01, Subd. 3, (8)
I Language amended to allow micro breweries as desired by City Council.
Section 510.01, Subd. 7, (c), 2
I Language deleted to allow for annual payments rather than quarterly.
Section 510.08, Subd. 1
I New language refers to State Statute.
Section 520.01, Subd. 12
I The LMC recommends a change from 8 to 10 days.

Chapter 6 - Nuisances and Offenses
The City Council has not Xet had an opportunity to review this chapter of the revised code. In I
general, minor language c1i~ges are made throughout the chapter. In general, the topics in this
chapter are those about which the City receives most of its complaints. Staff has tried to revise
the language in order to assist ~th response to those phone calls. This is former Chapters 2.5, I
10, II, 16 and 17. Changes proposed, or issues to consider, are as follows:
Section 600.0~, A, 1 ": , ' i I
I've inquired as to moving this portion of the chapter to another location for easier
finding and reading.
Section 600.02, D, I
Note change from two (2) years to one (I) year I
Section 600.02, L & M
Note the new additions to the code. I
Section 600.03
A section has been added to assist with safety issues, such as unshoveled sidewalks, ell
obstructions, etc.
Section 600.06 I
I had inquired as to language strengthening our abatement process. The language from
St. Peter, with some additional fine-tuning, addresses my concerns.
Section 620.04 I
This has been deleted as State Law does not allow it. The League has also included
sample I~guage from the cities of Big Lake and Greenfield on abandoned property. The I
Council rimy wish to consider this language.
Section 630.02 I
The City Council needs to review this section for consistency, and how it relates to the
Ramsey County curfew. I
Section 630.04
The City Council has historically discussed, from time to time, changes to this section. I
However, the Public Safety and other committees, have recommended against changes.

Section 630.05, Subd. 5 I
Staff would recommend putting on the fee schedule.

I The City Council should discuss the appropriate party for the appeals process.
Section 630.05, Subd. 8
I The City does not follow this. Staff would recornmenddeletion.
Chapter 7 - Lakes. Trees. Parks
I This chapter now consists of consolidated Chapters 4, 12 and 27 of the current code,
'.h
I Section 700 - l.akes
While Section 700 indicates "Lakes", it really only applies to Lake Johanna. In addition
to the items below, the City Council should consider whether or not the City needs any
regulations for its other lakes. '.j .
I
Section 700.04 & 700.06, Subd. 1
I These two sections refer to the placement of buoys on Lake Johanna. I'm not
familiar with this practice being done.
.. Section 700.06, Subd. 2
The Council has had conversation regarding potentially changing the speed limit.

I Section 720.05, Subd. 5
Does the City wish to allow horses on roads or other trails?
