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. . . . ~ 4 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 5 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 A. National League of Cities Membership Mr. Lynch stated that, at a recent meeting, the Council had dircctcd him to do some research into membership with the National League of Cities (NLC).

Councilmember Rem stated she understood the City had been a member of the NLC at one time. Mr. Lynch stated the City would be considered a new member since its NLC membership lapsed at least one year ago. Mayor Probst expressed his support of the membership and encouraged Councilmembers to participate in NLC events if there is value. Councilmember Larson asked for clarification with regard to the relationship between the Minnesota League of Cities and the NLC. Mr. Lynch stated the state organization is a member of tile national organization, similar to a federation. Councilmember Aplikowski stated she would support NLC membership for at least one year. MOTION: Councilmember Larson moved and Councilmember Aplikowski seconded a motion to approve a one-year membership in the National League of Cities (NLC) from December 1,2000 to December 1, 2001; at which time the City's future membership will be evaluated. The motion carried unanimously (5-0). . ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - NOVEMBER 13,2000 6 . Councilmember Aplikowski askcd whether participation in NLC events would be funded by the City, or whether Councilmembcrs would attend at their own cxpcnse. Mr. Lynch suggested training expense funds could be utilized. Mr. Post stated thcre are limited funds for such expenses. He added such a policy has never been discussed by the Council. CounciImember Aplikowski suggested the registration fee might be paid by the City and the Councilmember could pay for travel and other expenses. Mayor Probst stated a policy 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 expressed surprise that Hamline Avenue was not higher on the list. . Mayor Probst asked for clarification with regard to the City's financial commitment to the projects. Mr. Stafford stated that the County will complete the projects regardless of the City's position, adding it is necessary for staff to identify priority projects. ARDEN HILLS CITY COUNCIL - NOVEMBER 13, 2000 7 . Councilmember Larson asked why County Road D between Cleveland A venue and New Brighton Road were not included as a priority.

I" I. 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 (800) 441-5516 or visit: www.uswest. com/areacodes/minnesota.html. k November 22, 2000 Page 13 . ." . . .

One ofthe items the City Council must take action on annually is a determination on its Excess Liability coverage. For 2001, the statutory municipal tort liability limit is $300,000 per claimant, with $1,000,000 per occurrence. The City has most recently elected not to waive the monetary limits on tort liability. Recommendation Staff recommends tlle City Council adopt a motion electing not to waive the monetary limits on tort liability established by Minnesota Statutes in the area of Excess Liability coverage. -" . CITY OF ARDEN HILLS MEMORANDUM DATE: Dccembcr 6, 2000 TO: SUBJECT: Joe Lynch, City Administrator Tcrrancc Post, City Accountant@ 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 meeting.

CITY OF ARDEN HILLS MEMORANDUM DATE: Deccmber 1, 2000 TO: Mayor and City Council Jcnnifer Chaput, City Planner~ 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 temporary sign or attention getting device, generally made of flexible materials, such as paper, cloth, plastic or any non-rigid material with no enclosing framework". I do not believe that this language . considered this type of application of banners but relates specifically to business advertising banners, 2 . e . . A 50th Anniversary celebration is a unique circumstance for the City and should be granted the necessary sign approvals to celebrate this civic event. (c) Changing technologies in the Sign Industry, Overall, it could be said that the sign materials and durability have been improved over time and signs that may not have been aesthetically pleasing in the past, are much more acceptable today. Options 1. Recommend approval as submitted. 2. Recommend approval with conditions. 3. Recommend denial with reasons for denial. 4, Table for additional information. Recommendation Staff recommends approval of Planning Case #00-44, 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 50th Anniversary, with the following conditions: 1, Each banner shall not to exceed 32 square feet in area, as required by the Sign Ordinance; and 2. In celebration of the 50th Anniversary of the City, the banners shall remain up for the 2001 calendar year; and 3. The Planning Commission will review this issue in 2001 and make recommendations to amend the Sign Ordinance accordingly. 3 . . . CITY OF ARDEN HILLS MEMORANDUM DATE: Dccembcr 7, 2000 TO: Mayor and City Council Jennifcr Chaput, City Planncr~ FROM: 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, . 2 . . . , '., CITY OF ARDEN HILLS MEMORANDUM DATE: November 15,2000 TO: Joe Lynch, City Administrator >S. FROM: Dwaync Stafford, Public Works Director 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 during the first week of July 2001. Council instructed staff to notify those affected City water users of this policy by certified letters, Attached is a draft ofthe letter. Rccommendation Staff recommends the Arden Hills City Council considers and adopts the attached resolution #00-41, authorizing a surcharge and eventual shutoff for City water users using non-radio read meters, . . . .' November 15, 2000 Name Address Arden Hills, MN 55112 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 .
