B. Water Meter Upgrade/Replacement Project, Policy Discussion
.
Mr. Stafford stated that the City has completed meter replacements or upgrades on all but 160
residences. He added that these residents have not made contact with City staff despite
numerous attempts to reach them. He noted that some residents do not wish City staffto enter
their homes.
Mr. Stafford stated that he and Mr. Post have provided three policy options to assist in expediting
the process. He requested that the Council consider all three options and direct staff to proceed
with one of them. He noted that staff will finalize a registered letter communication with the
affected residents and draft a resolution for future Council action.
Mayor Probst stated he would prefer to impose a $100 surcharge, which is more cost efficient for
City staff. Councilmember Larson stated an estimate based on water bills might be viewed as a
threat by residents. He agreed the $100 surcharge would get the residents' attention. He
suggested the residents might be given two quarters, at $100 per quarter, to comply.
Councilmember Larson stated that two billing quarters should be sufficient to determine whether
residents are making an effort to comply. He added it will be necessary to cnsure that the
contractor can do the work within that period of time. Mr. Stafford stated the contractor has
moved on to another city, adding it will be necessary to schedule residents in blocks to make it
worth their while to complete the remaining homes.
.
Councilmember Grant asked whether City staJI could complete the installations. Mr. Stafford
stated that City staff can complete the work but the contractor can do it more quickly and
efficiently. Mr. Post stated tile contractor has been amenable to scheduling evening and weekend
appointments.
Mr. Post stated that water meters have a life expectancy and fail when they exceed it. He added
they will slow down or stop in the customer's favor, noting it might be to residents' financial
advantage to incur the surcharge.
Mayor Probst stated he assumes the City still bills these residents for their water. Mr. Post
confirmed this. Hc added the intention of the policy options is to get a response from the
resident.
Councilmember Grant requested clarification with regard to the cost of an individual replacement
or installation. Mr. Stafford stated the contractor's charge is $30, while it would cost between
$50-60 for City statIto completc the work. Councilmember Grant stated he would not wish the
surcharge to be overly punitive.
.
Councilmember Rem asked whether staff has confirmed that the 160 remaining residents who
have failed to respond are actually residing at tile homes in question. Mr. Post stated City staff
has no knowledge of the homes being inhabited except for activity on the remote water reader
device.

ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - NOVEMBER 13, 2000
Councilmember Grant asked whether the residents are paying their water bills. Mr. Post stated
some have paid their bills and some have not. He added that one resident is undergoing property
foreclosure, but that is an unusual circumstance.
Mr. Post stated that residents perceive the water meter to be part of their residential property. He
added the meter is actually City equipment and should be maintained by the City. He added that
access to the home must bc gained if thc meters are to be maintained properly.
Councilmember Aplikowski stated the $100 surcharge is the most feasible option. She added she
does not think the sum is punitive.
Councilmember Larson stated that the City must specify that the quarterly surcharge will be
imposed until the resident complies, adding it would be logical for their water to be shut off after
a specific period of time. Councilmember Aplikowski stated tile surcharge could be increased
after the second quarter.
Councilmember Aplikowski asked how many quarters would be reasonable. Mr. Post stated the
water could potentially be turned off in April 2001 after two quarters. Mayor Probst stated the
Council would be hard pressed to approve a backcharge for the current quarter.
Councilmember Larson stated the residents could be given notice that the surcharge would be
imposed in the upcoming quarter. Mayor Probst stated the water would then be shut off on July
1,2001.
Council member Grant stated the sample letter did not specify a City contact for residents who
have questions or comments. He added the coordination of surcharges should be handled by City
staff. Mr. Post stated the letter was simply intended to be an illustration of options.
Mayor Probst asked whether a motion was required. Mr. Lynch stated a motion could be made
directing staff to draft a resolution for action at the Council's next meeting.
Mayor Probst reiterated that thc Council had expressed agreement that a surcharge should be
imposcd for two quarters. Councilmember Grant stated he believes that is punitive. Mayor
Probst disagreed, stating the real cost to the City is well over $50 and other residents bear the
costs.
Councilmember Larson stated that the meters which are not working properly represent lost
revenue to the City. He added the City will be able to calculate what the residents actually owe
to the City.
Councilmember Grant asked whether City staff had noticed an increase in usage among meters
which have already been replaced. Mr. Post stated that some customers have reported their usage
is higher than in previous years for similar use patterns. He noted most meters were at the end of
their cycles and had slowed down, and do not reflect accurate consumption.
ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - NOVEMBER 13, 2000

Councilmember Rem stated shc would support the $100 surcharge if the residents will be
. notified and the surcharge is not indefinite.
MOTION:
Councilmember Aplikowski moved and Councilmember Larson seconded a
motion to direct staff to draft a rcsolution imposing a $100 surcharge for the first
two quarters of2001 for residents who have not responded to the City's attempts
to install or replace their water meter; and authorizing City staffto shut off the
resident's water on July 1,2001 if the resident is not in compliance. The motion
carried unanimously (5-0).
Mayor Probst suggested that City staff could include in the letter that the meters are City
property and are not owned by the residents.
ADMINISTRATOR COMMENTS

membership with the National League of Cities (NLC). Mr. Lynch stated that a new member

discussion might be necessary. He added that subject to limitation, a Councilmember's expenses
ought to be covered by tile City if they are on City business.
Mayor Probst asked whether the Mayor and Council fund might be an appropriate source. Mr.
Post stated the Council's attendance fees for State events and worksession bag lunches are
covered under that expenditure category.
Councilmember Larson stated that elected officials traveling on taxpayer's money can be a
sensitive issue. He added he would support requiring Council members to pick up a portion of
the cost unless it is official City business. He noted that the City should pay only a portion of the
cost of attendance at conventions and events.
.
Mr. Post stated that stalf could prepare policy alternatives for the Council's review. Mayor
Probst stated that would be helpful. Councilmember Aplikowski requested information with
regard to how much money the Council has expended on such items in the past. Mr. Post stated
it has not previously been a budget item.

New Twin Cities
area codes added
on Jan. 14
GnJan. 14,2001, permissive dialing
will end and mandatory lO-digit
dialing between area codes will begin.
Generally speaking, communities
north ofInterstate 394 will be in the
new 763 area code while communi-
ties to the south ofI-394 will be in
the new 952 area code. The area code
for Minneapolis will remain 612.
But for cities bordering either
394 or the city of Minneapolis, the
dividing line isn't quite as clear cut.
The Minnesota Public utilities
Commission divided the area code
split along community boundaries so
that all residents in a given commu-
nity have a common area code.
While mandatory dialing doesn't
begin until Jan. 14, it is a good idea
to start preparing now. Programmed
phone numbers on cell phones or &x
machines won't work on Jan. 14 unless
they have the new area code designa-
tion. Dial-up modems and other
eqnipment will also need to reflect the
new to-digit numbers if they connect
to numbers outside you new area code.
It's also important to remember
that even though you will now need to
use the area code to make a call across
the new boundaries, a local call still
remains a local call. You do not need
to dial a ''1'' in front of the number
within the Twin Cities and you will
not be charged a long-distance fee for
a local call. If you have questions
regarding your area code designation,
Qwest has a hotline number to call at

2001 Pay Plan
FROM:
Backl!:round
City Code of Ordinances. Section 19-8 calls for the establishment of a compensation plan for the
next calendar year by resolution of the Council following adoption ofthe annual budget.
Discussion
The accompanying resolution and proposed pay plan documents excludes any 2001
compensation plan amounts for bargaining unit employees. This is a result of labor negotiations
not yet completed between the City and the bargaining unit employees represented by LU.O.E.
Local No. 49. At the conclusion of these negotiations (which will result in a signed agreement),
staff intends to present the City Council with an amended 2001 Pay Plan for approval.
.
For non-bargaining unit employees, the 2001 Pay Plan represents a 3.0% range move over the
adopted 2000 Pay Plan. In addition, the proposed increase in the City's contribution toward
monthly health and dental insurance premiums from $340.00 to $350.00 represents a 2.9%
increase over the 2000 maximum contribution rate.
Rccommcndation
Staff recommends that the Arden Hills City Council adopt Resolution No. 00-47 entitled,
"Resolution Identifying and Approving the 2001 Pay Plan," at their December 11, 2000 regular

Planning Case #00-44, City of Arden Hills (Events Committce)
Special Usc Permit, 50'. Annivcrsary Banners
FROM:
SUBJECT:
Request
The City of Arden Hills requests approval of a Special Use Permit (SUP) to attach banners to 17
utility poles along County Road E for the year 2001, in celebration of the City's 50'. Anniversary,
Backl!round
The City will be celebrating its 50" Anniversary during the year 2001. The Events Committee has
proposed that banners, advertising the Anniversary, be attached to the utility poles along County
Road E during the year, It has been brought to my attention that banners were placed in this location
approximately eight years ago, sponsored by the local businesses.
At the November 27,2000, City Council meeting, staff presented a brief memorandum outlining the
City's sign ordinance regulations concerning banners, signs in the right-of-way and signs attached
to utility poles, all of which are prohibited by the ordinance. Staff did not feel that an adequate
revision ofthe Sign Ordinance could be done in the short time permitted, recommending that the
Events Committee bring an application through the City for a SUP instead, A full revision of the
Sign Ordinance, addressing this particular issue as well as other items, will be in early 2001 by the
Planning Commission.
The City Sign Ordinance allows for temporary "Civic Promotion Signs". Under this section, all
proposed signs in excess of 32 square feet in area or setback less than 20 feet from the street right -of-
way require Planning Commission review and City Council approval. A recommendation is also
required on the frequency and duration of the signs at this time. This request is processed through
the SUP process, permitting additional flexibility from the Sign Ordinance, as provided for in
Section IX (0) #2 of the Ordinance,
Avvlicable Sil!n Ordinance Sections
The following sections relate to this request:
Section V (E) states that the following signs are PROHIBITED:
(5) Signs painted on or attached to trees, rocks, or other natura] surfaces, or attached to public utility poles,
bridges or similar public structures,
(10) Any sign within the public right-of-way, or within dedicated public easements except that the City
Council may, upon recommendation from the Planning Commission, grant a Permit to allow temporary
civic or community promotion signs to be located within rights-of-way and easements for a specific
.
.
period of time,
(II) Banners, pennants, ribbons, streamers, strings oflight bulbs, except as special event signs as allowed by
Council approval.
Section V (E) states that following TEMPORARY SIGNS are PERMITTED:
(3) Community Promotion Signs and Civic Promotion Signs, The size, location, frequency and
duration of such signs may vary considerably depending on the nature of the promotion or civic
event. Any such proposed signs ofless than 32 square feet in area and setback more than 20
feet from the street ROW line shall require only administrative approval. Proposed signs in
excess of 32 sq. ft. in area or setback less than 20 feet from the street ROW shall require
Planning Commission review and Council approval.
Section IX (0) states that the requirements for a SUP:
2, Additional Flexibility. A Special Use Permit allows for:
(a) A degree of flexibility in the application of this Ordinance by allowing signs that are not specifically permitted
by this Ordinance.
(b) Unique circumstances that may not have been apparent when the Ordinance was adopted,
(c) Changing technologies in the Sign Industry.
Si!m Ordinance Rcvicw
This application can be evaluated according to the "Additional Flexibility" section of the SUP .
requirements in the Ordinance:
(a) A degree of flexibility in the application of this Ordinance by allowing signs that are not
specifically permitted by this Ordinance.
The proposed banners are not permitted by the Ordinance, as written, for the following reasons:
banners are prohibited; signs attached to utility poles are prohibited; and signs in the right-of-way
are prohibited, Some flexibility to this language may be made to support a different type of sign
application than what is defined in the Sign Ordinance. Banners promoting a City event, located
within he City's right-of-way and attached to utility poles maintained by the City differs from any
other applicant wanting to promote a business or place a sign on land that is not theirs. Therefore,
althougb these signs are not permitted by Ordinance, it is clear that there should be some flexibility
for an application that didn't appear to be a consideration when the Ordinance was written.
(b) Unique circumstances that may not have been apparent when the Ordinance was adopted.
At the time that the Ordinance was adopted, the types of banners, as proposed, were not addressed.
The section of the Ordinance that refers to signs attached to utility poles as being prohibited was
referring to "snipe signs" or a temporary sign or poster affixed to a tree, etc, When this language
was adopted, I do not believe that it considered banners like those that are proposed by the City, The
same holds true for not allowing signs within the City right-of-way, directly relating to allowing
signs on utility poles which are in the right-of-way. The Ordinance also does not permit banners of
any sort, except as approved by the City Council. Banners, as defined by the Ordinance, are, "A

SUBJECT:
Appeal of Denial of Building Permit
Antenna Tower, 1777 Gateway Blvd.
Rcqucst
The decision of the Building Official to deny a building permit application for the
construction of a new antenna tower at 1777 Gateway Blvd., based on the regulations of
the Zoning Ordinance, is being appealed by Mr. Vaughan, the property owner of 1777
Gateway Blvd, The appeal process requires that the Planning Commission make a
recommendation to the City Council, with findings regarding the Building Inspector's
interpretation ofthe Zoning Ordinance in this matter.
Backl!:round
For your information, Ordinance 291, Section 8 (G) #1, outlining the appeal procedure,
states, "The Planning Commission shall hear any appeals where it is alleged that there is
an error in any order, requirements, decision or determination made by an administrative
officer in the interpretation, application and/or enforcement of this Ordinance and shall
report its findings and recommendations to the City Council for action".
D,S, West made application to the City in Planning Case #98-10, to install an antenna
array on the tower at 1777 Gateway Boulevard (formerly 14th Street) owned by Mr. Dan
Vaughan. The application was approved with the condition that they comply with the
Ehresmann Engineering report dated February 2, 1998. After numerous engineering
reports, requested by staff and Mr. Vaughan, serious questions were raised regarding the
State Code compliance ofthe antenna. After confirmation from the State, City staff
declared the tower to be an unsafe structure.
Mr. Vaughan applied on December 17, 1999, for a Building Permit to construct a new
700-foot tower on the site. On January 6, 2000, staff denied the Building Permit
application because the construction of a new tower to replace the existing did not meet
the requirements of the Zoning Ordinance. The Zoning Ordinance does not allow for
towers over 75 ft. high and towers are only allowed as an accessory use to the principal
use on the property. Mr. Vaughan appealed the Building Permit denial on February 24,
2000.
Summarv
The Building Official has denied Mr. Vaughan's Building Permit application to construct
a new 700 foot tower, for the following reasons:
e
I) Section 6 #3 (a) of the City of Arden Hills Zoning Ordinance states that, "No antenna
or tower shall exceed a height of seventy five ft.(75)"; and.
2) Section 6 #2 of the City of Arden Hills Zoning Ordinance states that, "Antennas,
satellite dish antennas and towers are allowed only as special accessory uses. They
are therefore allowed only on property containing a principal use to which the
antenna, dish antenna or tower is accessory"; and
3) Section 11 (A) #1 of the City of Arden Hills Zoning Ordinance states that, "No
building permit or other permit pertaining to the use of land or buildings shall be
issued unless such building is designed and arranged to conform to the provisions of
this ordinance",
Recommendations
The Planning Commission, at their December 6 regular meeting, referred the following
findings to the City Council regarding staffs decision to deny a building permit request
by Mr. Dan Vaughan:
1. An application for a building permit was made by Dan Vaughan to reconstruct a new
700 foot antenna tower; and
2, The proposed new tower is greater than 75 feet in height and serves as the principal .
use on the property; and
3, City staff denied the application based on staffs interpretation of City Ordinance 291;
and
4. City staff correctly interpreted the Ordinance and the denial is affirmed by the
Planning Commission,

SUBJECT: Watcr Surchargc and Shut Off
Backl!round
The Arden Hills City Council, at their November 13, 2000, meeting heard from their
Public Works Director that approximately 160 water meters remain to be replaced or
upgraded, The replacement or upgrade contractor has been unsuccessful in his attempts
to contact anyone at these residences to schedule this work. The City Council heard
reasons why it is important to complete this project from the City Accountant and the
Public Works Director.
'V.
The City Council was provided with three options to encourage the remaining 160
residents to schedule access to the City owned meter on their property as required by City
Ordinance Section 28-71. The City Council chose a combination of two of those options,
Councils Aooroval
The City Council on a 5-0 vote approved the following:
I, City water users, who have not scheduled for the replacement or upgrade of
the water meter at their property by March 30, 200 I, will be assessed a $100
surcbarge on their 2001 first quarter bill.
2, Water users who have not scheduled for the replacement or upgrade by
June 29, 2001, will again be assessed a $100 surcharge on their second quarter
water bill.
3. Those City water users who still have not scheduled for the water meter
replacement by June 29, 2001, will have tbeir water turned offby the City

RE: Water Meter Replacement
Dear:
The City of Arden Hills has been upgrading or replacing all of the residential water
meters with radio read type meters, to replace equipment at the end of its usable life.
The new meters are more accurate than the older equipment and will reduce the amonnt
of time spent reading and processing utility bills, This project which began in November
1999, is now nearly completed.
City ordinance requires that water users allow the City access to the meter inside the
home. The installation contractor (USI) has attempted to contact you by mail, phone and
door knocks to schedule an appointment for the meter upgrade or replacement.
Unfortunately they have not been able to do so.
Since it is more costly to manually read water meters than to read them by radio
transmission, the City Council has adopted a resolution that will place a $100 surcharge
on your account for each quarter the meter is manually read, beginning
January 1,2001.
To avoid this charge, please contact Pam or Dwayne at the Arden Hills City Hall,
(651) 633-5676, as soon as possible to schedule a meter upgrade or replacement. Meters
less than 10 years old wil1 be upgraded with radio read heads, Meters older than 10
years will be replaced, Installers will make every reasonable effort to accommodate
your schedule. The instal1ation usually takes about one half-hour. If the water meter
has not been replaced or upgraded by June 29,2001, the City will shutoff the water
during the first week of July 2001.
We realize that some residents have been unable to contact USI due to illness, travel,
vacation, etc., but the City is anxious to complete this project as soon as possible.
Please contact me at (651) 633-5676 if you wish to discuss your individual situation,
.
Thank you for your cooperation in this matter.
Sincerely,
Dwayne Stafford
Public Works Director

Sanitary Sewer Utility Ratc Rccommcndation
Backl!:round
At the February 28, 2000 regular meeting, the Arden Hills City Council adopted Resolution No,
00-16, "Revising Sanitary Sewer Utility Rates Effective January], 2000," The impact of this
action was to increase the senior rate flat charge and to decrease the rates to other custorners.
The increase in the senior rate resulted from an earlier staffrecommendation to phase in a
seventeen percent (17%) price increase over a three (3) year period (1999 - 2001) to accomplish
the objective of having the senior sanitary sewer rate reflective of average senior water
consumption (67%) relative to other residential customers,
. Discussion
Following is a brief summary of the senior rate phase-in plan,
Dcscription
Residential Flat Rate
Senior Flat Rate
Senior to Residential Rate
Base
$53.95
26.95

31.95
61%
2001
$50.95

Staff is also recommending a reduction in the residential and non-residential sanitary sewer rate
due to the continued reduction in processing costs from the Metropolitan Council Environmental
Services Division (MCES). Council should note that the City of Arden Hills has consistently
passed on these MCES processing cost savings to sanitary sewer utility customers.
Rccommcndation
Staffrecommends that Council adopt Resolution No, 00-48, "Resolution Revising Sanitary
Sewer Utility Rates Effective January], 2001," at the regular meeting of December 11, 2000.

Dcccmber 1, 2000
TO:
Joe Lynch, City Administrator
FROM:
Dwayne Stafford, Public Works Director ..,I
SUBJECT: Pnblic Works - Fourth Quartcr Update
Streets
. Round Lake Road
The contractor has milled out and overlayed three areas of the project that the City
would not accept. The dip where the permanent roadway meets the temporary
transition to the old roadway still exists to some degree, With the dip being in the
temporary roadway the City Engineer and the Public Works Director decided to leave
well enough alone and evaluate the area again before a final payment is made.
.
Countv Road E Streetlil!hts
One of the City owned streetlights on County Road E near Twin City Federal was
struck by a vehicle on November 2,2000, and will need replacing, A new base, pole
and fixture have been ordered, The good news is the reinforcing Council approved
last summer held, This reinforces the Public Works Directors opinion that the
urgency for replacement of these lightpoles may not be as originally thought.
.
Clcvcland Avenue Railroad Bridl!c
The new bridge is now open with increased safety sight lines and a sidewalk. The
City's fire hydrant was moved to a more accessible location just behind the sidewalk,
.
Snowplowinl!:/Sandinl!: Operations
The City Administrator and Public Works Director will be exploring the
Possibility of one or two Public Works employees starting at 4:00 a.m, during the
snow season. This would provide a headstart for any plowing or sanding
operations that develop over night. A reduction in trips to the City by the Public
Works Director to check street conditions would also occur.
. Scwer Svstcm Backups
The City has experienced about a half dozen sewer plugs this past month, Several
have been in the City's main lines and several have been in the resident's service
lines to the main. Fortunately, damages have been minimal and major claims have
been denied due to the City's maintenance records. Two claims of about $135 each
on Lake Johanna Boulevard are still outstanding,

.
Thc Inl:crson Lift Station
The City Engineer has submitted a recommendation to allow staff to seek bids for the
reconstruction ofthis facility. The Engineer would prefer to combine the lift station
work with next year's sewer televising and maintenance projects, This may result in
more aggressive bidding due to the larger project, as well as lower engineering fees,
.
Sanitarv Scwer Grease Ordinancc
The Public Works Director would like to hear input from the City Council members
regarding their support ofthe proposcd ordinance before continuing down this path,
Council may recall the ordinance would require all commercial food processing
establishments to have grease traps installed in their sewer service outlet before it
enters the City Jines, This could conceivably cost the food processors several
thousand dollars, depending on the type of trap best suited for their application,
Water Utility
. Meter Reolaccment Proicct
Nearly 2200 of the City's 2350 water meters have now been replaced or upgraded,
The City will begin sending notices to the remaining 150 or so residents who have not
scheduled for a replacement or upgrade following Council's approval of Resolution
No, 00-41.
.
Sumo Pumo Insoections
The building inspector is waiting to hear from approximately 100 residents who were
sent notices of sump pump violation tbis past quarter. Most residents are complying
with the City ordinance and having their sump pump discharge line rerouted out of
the City sewer and into their yards,
.
Old Hil!:hway 10 Watcr Main Proiect
The water main and service lines are all in, Only cblorination and testing remain
before putting the line into service. All the driveways are usable, but restoration work
was halted by the wet and cold weather. This is the first time plastic water main has
been used in Arden Hills. Due to the acidic clay soils, many of the City's cast iron
water mains have experienced premature failures where pipe and fittings have rusted
away. Plastic is now used extensively in several area cities.
.
Citv Hall Watcr Linc
The new 8" water line that supplies the new city hall site is completed. The line was
chlorinated and tested for bacteria then put into service, The general contractor is
now using water from this line for construction purposes.
