City Hall Bid Results
FROM:
SUBJECT:
Background
The City received bids for the construction of the new City Hall on Thursday, March 11, 1999.
Bids were received from nineteen (19) bidders, with base bids ranging from $2,445,500 to
$3,000,000.
The bid included:
. Base bid for project
. Alternate to delete community room work
. Alternate to substitute brick for stone masonry
The low bidder was CM Construction, Inc. Subsequent conversation with the contractor resulted
in their withdrawal of bid. The next apparent low bidder is Rochon Corporation, whose full bid
was as follows:
.
Base bid
Alternate 1 deduct
Alternate 2 deduct
$2,489,000
39,000
313,000
.
.
The architects' preliminary estimate for the construction of the project was $2,166,558 and is
attached. This estimate was for the base bid, minus the stone masonry.
What is the Total Estimated Cost for Citv Hall and Other Components?
With the receipt of bids for City Hall, the City Council can now evaluate the estimated cost of
the project with more definition. The total project cost is as follows:
.
Base bid
Furnishings
Water/Sewer Utilities-
AudioNisual
Phone System
Total Project Cost
$2,489,000

What's Next?
The City Council had previously expressed some concern about the total cost of the project. At
that time, the Council decided to solicit and obtain bids in order to better define project costs. It
was the intent of the City Council to discuss total project costs after the bid opening, and provide
direction on the project.
Reauested Action
The City Council is asked to consider how it wishes to proceed with discussions on the
construction of the new City hall facility.

Re: Arden Hills City Hall
Comm. No. 97149
Dear Brian:
Since the bid opening yesterday, we have been informed by C.M. Construction, the initial apparent low
bidder, that they had made an error in their bid and that they would like to withdraw their bid.
We have spoken to Rochon COlporation, the next apparent low bidder, who have confirmed that their bid at
$2,489,000 is good.
Based on the above, we would recommend to the City accept Rochon's bid and accept Alternate No.2, brick
in lieu of stone exterior, for a deduct of ($313,000) thus bringing the construction contract amount to
$2,176,000 as follows:
Base Bid (with stone exterior)
Alternate No.2 (provide brick in lieu of stone exterior)
Proposed Contract Amount (with brick exterior)
$2,489,000
(313 ()()O)
$2,176,000
It is noted that our construction cost estimate prepared in December 1998 suggested a low bid condition of
$2,166,558 with brick exterior. This is only $9,442, or 0.43% below the proposed contract document.
We believe that the extremely high interest in the project and the relatively tight bids are testaments to the
very favorable time to bid the project and a very solid set of bidding documents.

We believe that the City will be receiving a quality facility and a tremendous value by accepting Rochon
Corporation's bid.

INTRODUCTION
BRW Inc., in conjunction with the Public Works Director have completed a comprehensive, city
wide drainage survey. The goals of the survey are to investigate and map as necessary existing
drainage ways throughout the city, identify existing and potential problem areas and determine
repair priorities and a maintenance program to address them. Prior to this study and report, the
City did not have an up-to-date detailed inventory of drainage infrastructure including drainage
subwatersheds, existing storm sewer, natural wetlands, lakes, ditches, culverts and ponds and
their interaction.
Because of its hilly terrain and numerous lakes and wetlands, Arden Hills has an extensive
collection of natural and manmade drainage ways. The entire city lies within the Rice Creek
Watershed District and is subject to the policies of that organization with respect to storm water
management.
The purpose of this field survey and report is to generate a masterplan documenting existing
drainage ways and drainage infrastructure while identifying problem areas needing maintenance
attention. This report also recommends possible measures which could be taken by the City to
address some of the more significant problem areas. Potential storm water detention/retention
pond locations are also identified in this report. The purpose of detention/retention ponds is to
increase the water quality of the of storm water runoff and to minimize discharge rates of the
storm water into the receiving waters.
The Arden Hills Public Works Director and BRW conducted the field survey throughout the
summer and fall of 1998. The field survey included meetings with residents who have expressed
specific drainage concerns and weekly "ditch" walks to see first-hand the condition of existing
ditches, ponds, culverts etc. Sections of the city were selected and "walked" until all the city
drainage ways were surveyed and existing and potential drainage problems were identified. The
TCAAP property was not included in this survey. BRW then compiled notes from the field
survey, utilized as-built plans when available and generated a drainage system masterplan map
illustrating the existing storm drainage infrastructure in the City and highlighting the problem
areas encountered in the field survey.
Included with this report is a comprehensive drainage map that shows drainage areas, lakes,
ponds, wetlands and drainage ways throughout the City. The map also includes the existing
municipal storm water system and some Ramsey County and MnDOT drainage culverts.

OVERVIEW OF CITY DRAINAGE PATTERNS
The City's subwatersheds are centered around its major lakes which are in turn connected to
each other by large wetland complexes, ditches or drainage ways.
The Round Lake subwatershed district generally includes the areas between Old Highway 10 and
1-35W north ofI-694. The Arden Manor Mobile Home Park and portions ofTCAAP also drain
into Round Lake. The majority of the Gateway Business District does not drain to Round Lake
but is routed to a new storm water treatment pond between the Minnesota Commercial Railroad
property and 13th S1. NE. This pond discharges into the MnDOT drainage system along 1-35W,
which drains into Long Lake in New Brighton.
Round Lake overflows to the southeast into a ditch along Old Highway 10, which empties into
Valentine Lake. Valentine Lake also receives a large portion of City drainage from a
geographical area roughly bordered by County Road E to the South, Lexington A venue to the
East, Old Highway 10 to the west and a line approximately 300 feet south of Highway 96 to the
north. Valentine Lake also receives runoff from the Valentine Hills area to the west of Old
Highway 10 centered on Valentine Lake Road.
Valentine Lake overflows to the west under Old Highway JO just north of McCracken Lane into
a ditch and wetland complex which extends along County Road E2 and heads north until it
leaves the City limits at a weir located near the Valentine Lake Road bridge over 1-35W. This
also enters Long Lake in New Brighton via the 1-35W drainage system.
Lake Josephine receives runoff from the adjacent lake properties and the neighborhoods around
Ingerson Road and Edgewater Avenue extending to Lexington Avenue. A good portion of Lake
Josephine is located within the boundaries of the City ofRoseville, which also generates the
majority of runoff entering this lake.
Lake Johanna receives a very large amount of runoff from Roseville to the south via Little
Johanna Lake as well as the overflow from Lake Josephine. In addition, Lake Johanna receives
runoff from Arden Hills neighborhoods bordered by New Brighton Road to the west, Lexington
Avenue to the east and County Road E1Lake Johanna to the north. Lake Johanna overflows into
the wetland complex located in the Ramsey County open space between County Road E and
County Road E2 where it joins up with the overflow from Valentine Lake to proceed towards
Long Lake.
Karth Lake is a land-locked body of water with a relatively small tributary watershed located in
the City of Arden Hills. Some high-water conditions have existed on Karth Lake in the past
however, a permanent means to regulate the lake level was considered and rejected by the
adjacent landowners.
Sunfish Lake overflows into Marsden Lake, which drains directly to Rice Creek via a drainage
way located within the TCAAP site. The existing properties fronting Highway 96 between
Keithson Drive and Lexington Avenue generally drain to Sunfish Lake or Marsden Lake. Rice

Creek enters the City east of 1-35W at County Road I in the TCAAP site and meanders south to
County Road H where it leaves the City heading west into Moundsview.
The city also contains numerous small wetlands and several manmade drainage ponds, some of
which appear as natural water bodies today. As a general rule the neighborhoods located north
of 1-694 have comprehensive storm sewer systems with curb and gutter, catch basins and piping
which drain to man-made drainage ponds, ditches or natural wetlands prior to entering the lakes
in the area. The commercial areas between Trunk Highway 51 and Lexington Avenue generally
also have comprehensive drainage systems often including storm water treatment ponds prior to
discharging into the public ditches or natural wetlands.
The neighborhoods surrounding Lake Johanna and Lake Josephine generally do not have
comprehensive storm sewer systems with treatment ponds therefor a large percentage of runoff
in these neighborhoods currently enters the Lakes with little or no treatment. Most existing
storm sewer systems discharge directly into the two lakes or area wetlands.

AREAS OF CONCERN/SUGGESTED REPAIRS
Considering the extensive drainage system in the city relatively few problem areas were
encountered during the field survey. Most of the drainage ways and wetland areas are in
locations where problems caused by potential flooding are relatively low in severity. The
majority of drainage ways are in ravines or channels, which are well below the elevation of any
development or roadways. The vast majority of problems discovered are minor in nature and
consist of replacing culvert end aprons, removing debris or sediment from culverts, etc. A few
cases would involve a significant investment on the part of the city to remedy or keep in
functioning order. The following are short descriptions of the more significant problem areas
encountered during the survey.
McClung Drive
Problem
The primary area of concern is a ditch that runs behind McClung Drive and Colleen Avenue. A
resident at 1519 McClung drive has called the city reporting that the ditch has flooded numerous
times in the last few years. The resident has stated that when the ditch floods the water inundates
their backyard and has come to within a foot of entering their walkout basement. The minor
flooding can be attributed to a few reasons:
. The walkout basement elevation is low compared to the creek bed and the backyard grade
from the walkout to the creek is nearly flat.
· The ditch bed behind the house up to the culvert outlet approximately 100 yards down stream
is flat. As a result of the flat slope, flow velocity in the ditch bed is slow causing sediment to
build-up, which fills in the stream channel.
· The steep hill on the north side of the creek (Royal Hills Drive/Arden Vista Court) is lacking
in vegetation, which would tend to slow down storm water runoff flows.
This ditch was cleaned by city crews a few years ago and has silted in and new vegetation has
developed in the channel. The vegetation and sediment also acts to slow down storm water
runoff flow rates.
Potential Mitigation Measures
· The primary mitigation measure is to clean the channel of sediment and debris to increase
flow through the section. The inlet and outlet of the downstream culvert should also be
cleaned out to maximize the flow capacity of the culvert. The steep slope on the north side
of the channel should be stabilized to eliminate slope erosion and reduce the amount of
sediment flow into the creek. It is likely that periodic cleaning of this ditch will be needed to
maintain its usefulness.
· Small check dams with stilling basins could be built along the ditch upstream of the problem
area. The stilling basins would be constructed to hold more water upstream and reduce the
flow through the area of the stream in question. This measure would require multiple stilling
basins.

· Another possible mitigation measure for this problem is to line the channel with concrete or
other solid material which would promote better flow through the section that floods. This
alternative would be relatively expensive and the channel would still require periodic
maintenance to remove sediment and debris.
All proposed mitigation measures would create a large disturbed area as a result of the
excavation as we1l as just accessing the ditch behind the houses. A more detailed review of the
tributary drainage area, ditch grades/sections and yard contours will be required prior to
generating a construction contract for the work. The cost estimate included in this report
assumes ditch excavation in the vicinity of 1519 McClung Drive and restoration associated with
the work. Improvements upstream are not included in the cost estimate.
Siems Court
Problem
Storm water runoff from Ridgewood Court over tops the bituminous curb at the end of the cul-
de-sac and flows through the backyard of the residence at 3520 Siems Court. Although no
severe erosion has taken place the resident states that they are unable to plant a garden, trees etc.
on the slope because the plantings will wash away. Currently there is a sma1l drain on the end of
the Ridgewood Court that is undersized and unable to handle storm runoff. There is an existing
catchbasin located near the bottom of the slope, which drains under Arden Place directly to Lake
Johanna. The catchbasin and outlet were apparently installed in 1991 or 1992 according to
drawings reviewed by BRW. There is an existing twenty-foot sanitary easement through the
Siems Court property in the approximate location of the runoff problem.
Potential Mitigation Measures
· A catch basin could be constructed at the end of Ridge wood Court and piped to the existing
catchbasin located near the bottom of the hill. A curb would also have to be constructed to
direct runoff from Ridgewood Court. into the proposed catch basin. This solution would
require a drainage easement in the resident's yard as we1l as the property at 1653 Arden
Place, for insta1lation and maintenance ofthe pipe, unless the sanitary sewer easement could
be utilized for both systems.
· The problem could also be addressed with the incorporation of storm sewer in the
neighborhood, as a part of a future roadway reconstruction program. This approach would
allow the City to construct a catchbasin at the end of Ridgewood Court as necessary but
would a1low other options for routing of the drainage pipe possibly to a regional ponding site
next to Lift Station #3 or to the wetland east of Ridge wood Road.
The first measure may be cheaper initially however it would direct more runoff from City streets
directly into Lake Johanna which, is undesirable in terms of water quality in the lake. The
reconstruction schedule of Arden Place, Siems Court and Ridgewood Court will be determined
as a part of the comprehensive street condition review to be accomplished this spring.

The cost estimate included in this report reflects the first potential mitigation measure described
above.
Karth Lake Inlet
Problem
Stilling basins were installed a few years ago in a ravine on the south end of the lake that enters
into Karth Lake. In many cases the stilling basins, constructed of riprap, are beginning to silt-in
and are clogging the culvert outlets. A corrugated metal drop manhole at the end of this drainage
system is being washed out as a result of the last stilling basin running over and from runoff from
the near by bituminous pathway.
Potential Mitigation Measures
The stilling basins should be cleaned out to ensure that they are functioning properly and that the
outlets operate at the proper flow capacity. Using riprap or vegetation to prevent additional
scouring can be used to stabilize the slope around the drop manhole.
Ingerson Road
Problem
Ingerson Road has a history of frequent flooding. Because the street is relatively flat and there is
no curb and gutter or ditches to direct the runoff, water has a tendency to pond in the street and
adjacent yards.
Potential Mitigation Measure
Ingerson Road is in poor condition and is a priority candidate for street reconstruction. Ingerson
Road would be constructed with an urban pavement section, which would include curb and
gutter and storm sewer. Because Ingerson drains directly into Lake Josephine, a storm water
retention pond should be considered for any reconstruction project to improve runoff water
quality and control runoff flow rates into Lake Josephine.
The existing poor drainage condition of Ingerson Road will be factored into the priority ranking
system for reconstruction as a part of the comprehensive street condition review scheduled for
spring of 1999. The cost table does not include costs for mitigating the Ingerson Road condition
as it is assumed that the costs would be borne as a part of a street reconstruction project.
Summary Table 1. "Identified Drainage Issues" lists the drainage issues identified during the
field survey. This table describes the identified problem, its location, maintenance responsibility,
maintenance priority and an estimated maintenance cost. Table 1. also includes the drainage
issues identified above as well as the lesser problem areas around the City.

ESTIMATED COSTS
Preliminary construction cost estimates have been prepared for the maintenance issues identified
in this report and are listed in Summary Table 1. "Identified Drainage Issues". Costs listed in
Table I. assume that a contractor would perform the work and that several jobs would be
combined into each contract in order to economize overhead costs and mobilization. A few of
the minor jobs would best be accomplished by City forces as time permits which would likely
result in some savings to the City over the estimated costs shown in the table. The work could
also be included in future street reconstruction projects in order to save contractor mobilization
costs.
A preliminary breakdown ofthe cost estimates shown in Table I. for the McClung Drive, Siems
Court and Karth Lake problem areas are shown below. Costs shown below and in Table I.
include a 10% contingency cost and 26% for administrative costs. Administrative costs include
engineering, planning, legal, fiscal and City staff expenses.

PROJECT SCHEDULE
The City has budgeted $50,000.00 per year for 1999 and 2000 and $25,000.00 per year after that
to address these storm drainage issues. If the Council elects to proceed with the projects, the
City Engineer will prepare a bid package of work to be accomplished in 1999 in accordance with
the budget. The total amount of work identified as a part of this field review is approximately
$165,000.00. Based upon the proposed City budgets, the work identified in this report could be
completed within five years. Table 1. has the problem areas ranked as High, Medium or Low
priorities which can be used as a guide in scheduling the work priority for City forces-
accomplished items or bid packages for contracts to be let. Geographical location and estimated
cost will also be used to determine which projects are accomplished first.

REGIONAL POND CONSIDERATIONS
Potential locations of regional storm water detention ponds have also been considered as a part
of this report. Regional ponds can help to increase.storm water runoff quality and control
discharge rates into receiving waters such as streams, ditches, wetlands and lakes. Detention
ponds are designed to trap sediment and pollutants in runoff water. Oil and grease skimmers are
typically included along with weirs and orifices to control discharge volumes. The Rice Creek
Watershed district requires the treatment of storm water runoff, prior to entering water bodies,
from all new construction projects and reconstruction projects when possible. The City to date
has constructed a number of storm water treatment ponds most recently in the Gateway Business
District. Typically, storm water detention/retention ponds are the most economical and efficient
way to remove pollutants from storm water runoff. In areas oflimited land availability sump
manholes and grit chambers have been used as well to improve water quality.
The regional ponds would vary in size depending on the runoff area and type of land use. The
regional ponds identified on the masterplan would typically require 1 to 2 acres ofland and cost
between $50,000 and $200,000 to construct. The construction costs are dependent on the size of
the pond and site preparation and earthwork required in constructing each particular pond. This
price range does not include property acquisition costs. In several cases the pond construction
could be included in a road construction or reconstruction project in conjunction with the
construction of a storm sewer system.
In the City of Arden Hills 1998 Comprehensive Plan, lake characteristics were listed for all the
lakes within the city. In the information, water quality for each lake was quantified using a
Trophic State Index (TSI). From the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency recommendations: a
TSI less than 59 is swimmable, a TSI between 60-65 partially supports swimming and a TSI
greater than 65 does not support swimming. The TSI for the lakes with in Arden Hills are as
follows:
Lake
Lake Johanna
Lake Josephine
Karth Lake
Little Johanna
Round Lake
Sunfish Lake
Valentine Lake

It is recommended that the City establish periodic monitoring and analysis of the lake water
quality. The information gathered from monitoring will allow the City determine the
effectiveness of storm water treatment measures and track the general health of the lakes.
Table 2. "Proposed Future Storm Water Treatment Pond Locations" lists the possible storm
water ponds as shown on the masterplan and indicates approximate drainage areas, pond sizes,
the receiving waters from the pond and potential means of construction.

SUMMARY
The City of Arden Hills includes a significant system of interconnected natural water bodies and
a manmade drainage infrastructure system consisting of ditches, ponds, storm sewer piping and
culverts. The field review of these systems indicated that very few significant problem areas
exist within the City that need immediate attention. There was no indication of property
(structure) damage occurring as a result of substandard drainage infrastructure in the City. Two
nuisance problem areas were identified by residents living along McClung Drive and Siems
Court and potential mitigation measures have been suggested and estimated for these two
instances.
The majority of items encountered in the survey are minor in nature and could be accomplished
over time by City forces or grouped into bid packages to be let to contractors or added to larger
public works contracts such as future street reconstruction programs. The City has budgeted
$50,0000.00 for drainage improvement work for the fiscal years 1999 and 2000 with an annual
budget of $25,000.00 per year beginning in fiscal year 2001. Based upon our survey, the City
Engineer feels that this budget will be adequate to address the problem areas identified in this
report within the next five years while providing for future repairs and maintenance which will
be needed on the system. The funding may be better appropriated on a biannual basis which
would allow for greater economy of scale in assembling work packages to be let ($50,000.00 per
biennium).
The report also considered possible regional pond sites throughout the City. The intent of
identifYing the pond sites at this time is to include them as considerations when reconstructing
streets and storm sewers in the future. Some pond sites are more independent than others
relative to when they could be constructed. Some of the ponds shown are only possible to build
by utilizing a portion of existing wetland areas or by acquiring private property. The Rice Creek
watershed has allowed the construction of storm water ponds with some wetland impacts in the
past under the philosophy that the water quality improvements realized through the storm water
pond outweigh the wetland area "sacrificed". The Council should consider whether a portion of
the City Storm Water Utility should be budgeted for potential future storm water regional pond
construction. The City Engineer also recommends that the City collect additional water quality
data in existing lakes and major wetlands and streams for prioritizing of water quality ponding
improvements.

County Turnback Issues
FROM:
SUBJECT:
Backlrround
As part of the Functional Consolidation Plan, resulting from a 1991 State Legislative
Mandate, Ramsey County developed a Turnback Program as part of its Transportation
Improvement Program. This program identified roadways which the County would take
jurisdiction from the cities and, in turn, roadways identified to serve more as a local
function would be turned back from the County to City jurisdiction. A benefit to the
City, in receiving jurisdiction over a County Road, is that those roads identified for
turnback to the City are of a low priority for maintenance or improvements by the
County; i.e. Stowe Avenue. To help ease the financial burden to the City for accepting
roadways, the County provides some funding to bring the turnback road up to a rating of
at least a .90. This funding is based on a formula using the roadway current rated
condition. Roadways turned back to the City are also eligible to be designated as MSA
. roadways, thereby increasing MSA funding to the City each year.
Researching some of the original correspondence related to this issue, it is the Public
Works Director's understanding that any change in roadway jurisdiction from the
County to the City must be mutually agreed upon and that the County will bring roads
up to an acceptable standard before turnback. Attached is a page of a memo from
Ramsey County Engineer, Paul Kirkwold, to the City, dated 11/18/91, which explains
the Turnback concept (Functional Consolidation of Roadways).
Current Status
The City, to date, has accepted jurisdiction from the County of approximately 3 miles of
roadway and returned to County jurisdiction approximately I-V, miles of roadway. If
the City accepts jurisdiction over Lake Johanna Boulevard, as proposed in the original
Turnback Program, this would be an additional .85 miles turned back to the City. An
option to the Lake Johanna Boulevard turnback offered by the County was to accept
jurisdiction of New Brighton Road. This segment of roadway is approximately 1.6 miles
in length.
Reauest
With the County wishing to complete the Turnback Program, Council may wish to
discuss the options and give staff direction on how to proceed.

A. Functional consolidation of.roadways within Ramsey County
The functional consolidation of roadways within Ramsey County is
based on the following assumptions: .
1. Municipalities will be responsible for providing local road-
way services.
2. Ramsey County.will be responsible for providing roads that are
the area-wide link between local roadways and state highways.
3 . The state of Minnesota will be responsible for providing a
highway system that links area-wide roads to the interstate
network.
4. The Ramsey County Technical Advisory Committee, which is made
ilp of City and County engineers, would be the professional/
technical group to:
develop recommendations on the criteria for deciding which
specific roads belong in Which category; and ~
o develop recommended standards and process for turn'back of
roads to municipalities, Ramsey County, and stat.e.
o
~o achieve a functionally consolidated roadway system, the follow-
ing would occur:
1. Municipalities would continue to assume responsibility for the
maintenance and upkeep of roads within their community which
serve a local function. In addition:
o They would turn back to the State of Minnesota all roads
which should be a part of the State highway system.
o They would assume responSibility from the County for any
roads which Were determined, by mutual agreement, to serve
a purely looa~ function.
2. Ramsey County would turn back by mutual agreement, to the
municipalities, all County routes which serve a local func-
tion. Before roads are turned back to the local communities,
Ramsey County wiLL bring these roads up to an acceptable
stand9-rd. Local taxing authority .for thOSe roads would be
turned over to the municipalities along with any State Aid
received by the County. Relocation responsibility will trans-~
fer with the assumption of roadway responsibility.
In addition, Ramsey County would assume respon~ibility from
the municipalities for the maintenance and up keep of all
roads which' are determineq., by l\\utual agreement, to have
County-wide significance.

Tim Mayasich, Senior Engineer
Ramsey County Public Works

Shoreview, MN 55126
Dear Tim:
The Arden Hills City Council discussed the Ramsey County proposal to turn back to City
jurisdiction, New Brighton Road, instead of a segment of Lake Johanna Boulevard as
earlier planned. The Council seemed somewhat interested in the idea, but asked a number
of questions related to the tumback.
1.
With New Brighton Road being nearly twice the length of the originally proposed
Lake Johanna Boulevard, to what degree of cost participation would the County
provide to bring the road up to City standards, including curb and gutter and storm
sewer?
The City, as part of the original tumback schedule, agreed to take back Lake
Johanna Boulevard at the end of the tumback cycle (10 years). Why does the
County need to accelerate this schedule?
Would the County pay for the cost of improvements to bring the road to City
design standards or would they expect the City to do it?
When would the tumback be proposed to take place?
When would the railroad bridge, located on New Brighton Road, be replaced?
Would the County provide the same cost participation on the north segment
reconstruction as the south segment?
Please provide general information regarding both roadways (i.e., width or
pavement; right-of-way; condition of road; any environmental issues; type of
construction; age of existing pavement; etc.)
Are there any plans to turn more roads back to City jurisdiction?

I realize the County is looking for an immediate answer. However, the City feels answers
to these questions are important in continuing consideration for the proposed alternate
tumback.

Arden Hills, MN 55112-5794
Dear Dwayne:
I am writing in response to your letter dated February 24, 1999 regarding the
turn back of New Brighton Road from County to City Jurisdiction. The letter
contained a number of questions by the Arden Hills City Council regarding the
turnback. Those questions and the County's response to those questions are as
. follows:
Question 1: With New Brighton Road being nearly twice the length of the
originally proposed Lake Johanna Boulevard, to what degree of
cost participation would the County provide to bring the road up to
City standards, including curb and gutter and storm sewer?
Answer: The County assumed the following road section for the
reconstruction of New Brighton Road: 40 ft. road consisting of two
12 ft. travel lanes, two six ft. shoulders, 2 ft. of curb and gutter on
either side, a 10 ft. bituminous path on one side. Thecost
estimates for this section would be: Total cost::: $2,224,658;
County cost = $480, 200; New Brighton Cost::: $282,314; Arden
Hills cost::: $1,482,144. A detailed breakdown of the cost splits is
enclosed. The County would pay the cost of replacing the Railroad
Bridge estimated at $1,450,000.
Question 2: The City, ~s part of the original tumback schedule, agreed to take
back Lake Johanna Boulevard at the end of the tumback cycle
(10years). Why does the County need to accelerate this schedule?
. Answer:
The County is not accelerating the tumback schedule. According to
the schedule, Lake Johanna Boulevard was to be turned back in
1996.

Question 3: Would the County pay for the cost of improvements to bring the
road to City design standards or would they expect the City to do it?
Answer:
Please refer to the Answer of Question 1.
Question 4: When would the turnback be proposed to take place?
Answer:
The turnback would take place at the discretion of the City.
Question 5: When would the railroad bridge, located on New Brighton Road be
replaced?
Answer:
The County is currently negotiating the jurisdictional transfer of the
bridge with the CP Rail Company. A transfer date has not been
set. The bridge must be under County jurisdiction in order to allow
the expenditure of government funds on the bridge replacement
project.
Question 6: Would the County provide the same cost participation on the north .
segment reconstruction as the south segment?
Answer:
Please refer to the answer of Question 1.
Question 7: Please provide general information regarding both roadways.
Answer:
The CSAH Need sheets and the Ramsey County Pavement
Management System sheets for both roadways are enclosed.
Question 8: Are there any plans to turn more roads back to City jurisdiction?
Answer: No.
I hope I have provided adequate answers to all of the Council's questions.
Please contact me at (651) 482-5207 if you have any further questions.

CITY OF ARDEN HILLS
MEMORANDUM
DATE:
March 15,1999
TO:
Mayor and City Conncil
Kevin Ringwald, Assistant to the City Administrator~
Re-Use ofIndykiewicz site (Discussion Only)
FROM:
SUBJECT:
Requested Action
None. The City Council is being requested to commence discussions on the appropriate re-use of
the Indykiewicz property at southeast intersection of Highway 96 and Round Lake Road.
Backe:round
The EDA acquired the Indykiewicz property at 1920 Highway 96 on March 10,1999. The EDA
acquired this property to facilitate the relocation of the intersection of Highway 96 and Round
Lake Road. The relocated road will utilize approximately the southeasterly 40 percent of the site
(Exhibit A). Thereby, leaving a remnant parcel from this acquisition. The remnant parcel from
the Indykiewicz acquisition is approximately 3.3 acres in size. Additionally, it may be possible
to obtain the right of way for the former Round Lake Road from MnDOT (who actually has title
to the ground that the existing Round Lake Road is located on) and combine it with the
Indykiewicz remnant piece for redevelopment purposes. The Round Lake Road right-of-way
remnant piece is approximately 0.7 acres in size. If the remnant right-of-way is able to be
combined with the Indykiewicz remnant parcel then the redevelopment site would be
approximately 4.0 acres in size.
Time Frame for decision makine:
The City Council on Monday, March 8,1999, approved Resolution #99-07, which awarded the
contract for the Round Lake Road reconstruction project to Forest Lake Contracting. As a part
of this contract Forest Lake Contracting will have until the end of this year to remove the black
dirt from the property. The black dirt will be stored on the remnant piece of the Indykiewicz
property. Therefore, the title to this property could not be sold until January of2000.
If the City wishes to obtain title to the remnant piece of right-of-way for Round Lake Road (and
probably the remaining piece of Round Lake Road, south of this project) the request to declare as
excess to MnDOT and MnDOT to release it to the City will take at least nine months, maybe
longer. The Staff assumes that the City Council wishes staff to pursue this and unless directed
otherwise will commence on this activity, with the City Engineer being the lead.
Site Constraints
1.
Utility lines. Approximately the western 40 percent of the remnant parcels (Indykiewicz
and right-of-way) is under the NSP electric transmission easement. Although a structure
cannot be built under this easement parking and landscaping can be located here.
.
.
Re-use ofIndykiewicz Site
Page Two
March 15, 1999
e
2. Access. Access to Highway 96 is going to be limited by Ramsey County to right-in and
right-out access in the most liberal situation to no access in the most restrictive. Access to
the site from Round Lake Road will be limited to right-in and right-out for the northerly
portion of the road due to the median in Round Lake Road. South of the median the sight
will have full movement access to Round Lake Road.
3. On-site ponding. The pond to be constructed south of Round Lake Road (on Parcel D)
was sized to accommodate the nm-offfrom the development of this site, so no on-site
ponding should be required on the redevelopment site.
Comprehensive Plan
The Comprehensive Plan includes by reference the "Planning Study for NE 1-694/I-35W" (the
Plan) that ultimately became known as the Gateway Business District. The Plan identifies the
use for this site as "Business" (Exhibit B). The Plan does not provide a detailed description of
intended uses for this site.
Zoninl!
The Zoning of this property is Gateway Business (Exhibit C). The Gateway Business district
allows as permitted uses: Business Services, Clinics, Clubs-Sports Fitness, Financial Institutions, e
Manufacturing Uses (Class 1), Offices, Personal Services, Research, and Restaurants. The
Gateway Business district allows as special uses: HotellMotel, Multiple Use Operations, Public
Uses, and Warehousing.
Alternate wavs to view the redevelopment potential
1. Maximum Retnrn on Investment. The implementation of this option would most likely
place a fast food restaurant and a gasoline station on the site and would require a
rezoning. As the title implies this would probably provide the city with an immediate and
large dollar return for its investment into the acquisition of the Indykiewicz site. The
presence of these uses most likely would not expedite the development of the "Office
comer" (northeast comer ofI-694 and 1-35W).
2. Providing a site for a use that is needed by the Community. The implementation of
this option may involve revisiting the Community Survey to determine which of the
items listed by residents as those uses that they would like to have in the community
could from a market perspective be potentially located on this property (ie., supper club).
3.
Providing a site for a use that is needed by the Gateway Business District. The
implementation of this option may involve talking to various Developers to find out what
uses could be put on this site that may accelerate the development of the Office Comer.

March 15, 1999
4. Nott Company; The Nott Company has expressed an interest in purchasing Parcel D
(the ponding area) so as to expand their building to the north. The implementation of this
option would require the ponding area to be relocated onto the remnant parcel, which
would effectively eliminate its redevelopment opportunities.
Recommendation
None. Additional discussion and study is required before a formal recommendation on the re-use
of this site is appropriate.

MEMORANDUM
DATE:
March 11, 1999
TO:
Brian Fritsinger, City Administrator
Terrance Post, City Accountant @
Community Services Fund Discussion FoUow-up
FROM:
SUBJECT:
Background
At the regular City Council meeting of March 8,1999, the subject of the Community Services
Fund No. 225 was generally discussed as a new business agenda item.
An outcome of the discussion was to give staff specific direction on reporting Community
Services Fund No. 225 December 31, 1998 fund balance future uses (Le., 58% Parks and 42%
Fire). Council also raised questions concerning (1) if Minnesota Statutes, Section 349.12, Subd.
25 was the relevant statutory cite to define allowable City "lawful purpose" expenditures from a
10% contribution fund; and (2) how could the 1999 budgeted $200,000 revenue source from the
Community Services Fund for TCAAP implementation planning be replaced.
Statutorv "Lawful PUlpose" E~enditures for Cities
Confusion occurred at the Council meeting when the Oambling Control Board Form L051 0
instructions "A-lO - expenditures for services, equipment and training" was compared to
Miunesota Statutes, Section 349.12, Subd. 25 (10), "a contribution to the United States, this state
or any of its political subdivisions, and any agency or instrumentality thereof other than a direct
contribution to a law enforcement or prosecutorial agency," and found not to be consistent.
The explanation lies in reviewing Minnesota Statutes, Section 349.213, Subd. I (a), ".....the ten
percent fund .... for disbursement by the responsible local unit of govemment of the receipts for
(i) lawful purposes, or (ii) police, fire, and other emergency or public safety-related services,
equipment, and training, excluding pension obligations, is not considered an expenditure to the
City or County, nor a tax under Section 297E.02, and is valid and lawful." This addition to
"lawful purposes" was legislatively added in the 1998 session. The upshot is that "lawful
purposes" are the same for both organizations and cities with the sole exception being the
"police, fire, emergency" available for cities but not organizations. Also the Gambling Control
Board instruction form -does not give the correct cite for "A-IO."

Alternative 1999 TCAAP Funding
Should Council wish to consider approving unbudgeted 1998 operating transfers from the
Community Services Fund to the Recreation Fund No. 226 ($16,300), Fire Equipment Sinking
Fund No. 412 ($47,500), utilizing the General Fund estimated surplus of revenues over
expenditures ($119,900) combined with previous two transfers (i.e., $16,300 and $47,500) to
make an operating transfer from the General Fund to the TCAAP Fund ($183,700). In addition,
the budgeted 1999 $16,300 transfer from the General Fund to the Recreation Fund could be
reduced in a similar manner to that of 1998. The impact of these revised operating transfers
would be to leave TCAAP Fund No. 223 with a 1999 funded balance of $200,000.
Other Policy Considerations
a. What is the comfort level regarding past budget practices of expending approximately
fifty percent (50%) of charitable gambling contributions on operating program deficit
funding and saving the balance for future significant spending programs?
b. Is it still Council's philosophy not to have the General Fund dependent (from a revenue
standpoint) upon operating transfers from the Community Services Fund because of the
future uncertainty of this revenue source?
c.
The City will be reporting on projected uses of existing Community Services fund
balance (i.e., 58% Parks; 42% Fire). After the TCAAP planning funding commitment is
over, is there a mix of funding uses (e.g. Recreation, Park Capital, Police or Fire
Operations; Fire Capital), that Council would be comfortable expending on an annual
basis?
