Amendment
Mr. Parrish reviewed his memorandum to the City Council of March 20, 2002. He stated the
Planning Commission was recommending approval ofthe revised Special Use Permit.
Mayor Probst asked where the antennas would be placed, and if they would match the other
antennas on the tower. Mr. Parrish pointed out where the antennas would be placed and
indicated they would match the other antennas on the tower.
Councilmember Larson asked if there would be a constant need to add new antennas as time
went on. Dave Trost, Site Acquisition consultant representing ATT Wireless, 655 First Bank
Drive, Illinois, replied this upgrade was for a second-generation wireless to a third-generation
wireless using an existing structure. He stated he was not able to predict what the future would
bring with new developments in the wireless industry, but he suspected if a new upgrade would
come up, they would ask for another lease amendment. He stated he did not see anything in the
immediate future.
Conncilmember Larson asked if there was enough room on the tower to accommodate future
antennas. Mr. Trost replied that he believed there was enough room.

E. 2002 Street Improvement Feasibility Study
Mr. Lynch updated Council on the March 19,2002 neighborhood information meeting regarding
proposed 2002 street improvements. He indicated staffs recommendation was for reconstruction
of the Waldon Place and Hunter's Court cul-de-sac.
Councilmember Rem stated she was at that meeting and by the time the meeting had ended, there
was a fair amount of discussion between residents and staff, and the residents strongly requested
the City do only a mill and overlay instead of reconstruction at this time.
Councilmember Larson stated he was also at that meeting and indicated the residents had
requested overlay only, but he did not believe this was the right decision. He stated this was a
project the City could handle this year and he did not believe we should invest the amount of .
money to mill and overlay that street due to the poor condition of the base underneath it. He
stated this would not be a wise decision on a part of the City. He stated he agreed that Benton
Way would need to be reconstructed at some point in the future.
Mayor Probst concurred with Councilmember Larson that the Council had identified the street as
needing reconstruction, and he did not believe it would be appropriate to expend the funds to do
a mill and overlay.
Councilmember Aplikowski asked what the current condition of Benton Way was. City
Engineer Greg Brown summarized what the condition of Benton Way was. He indicated there
were other factors than what appears on the pavement of the street. He stated it was hard for him
to recommend reconstructing Benton Way at this time. He stated he recommended if the City
was not going to proceed with reconstruction of the cul-de-sacs now, that they wait until they
could reconstruct both the cul-de-sacs and Benton Way in the future.
Councilmember Grant asked what the PCI rating was on Waldon Place and Hunters Court. The
City Engineer replied 9 and 20, but he was not sure which was which.
Councilmember Grant asked if they could reduce the damage to Benton Way. The City Engineer
replied they could limit the truck traffic.
Councilmember Grant inquired about the condition of the cul-de-sacs. The City Engineer replied ~
the cul-de-sacs had many patches, and it was recommended they be reconstructed.

Councilmember Larson stated he believed the City needed to do a better job with following up
on seal coating after making improvements. He indicated some streets had not been seal coated.
He also indicated they needed to be sensitive to property owners on corner lots due to assessment
Issues.
John Tholen, 1 I 43 Waldon Place, stated he believed they should just overlay both of the cul-de-
sacs. He indicated he did not believe they were in bad condition. He stated Benton Way should
be seal coated if they were doing anything. He stated there were two cul-de-sacs with minimal
housing, and they only had garbage trucks on the street.
Cliff Bujold, 1134 Hunters Court, stated in 1995 when the Council entertained the possibilities
of doing street overlays of Benton Way there were residents from Hunters Court and Waldon
Place who had asked for the streets to also be overlaid, but were denied. He stated the residents
had not been heard. He indicated if the overlay had occurred in 1995, they would not be here
today. He stated he was concerned about damage to Benton Way if there were heavy trucks
going over Benton Way to get to the cul-de-sacs. He stated there may be a lot of damage to
Benton Way with the truck traffic. He stated he believed this City also needed to have an
established street maintenance program. He indicated he believed Council operated in a crisis
management mode when it comes to street maintenance. He believed the overlay would allow
the resident's time until Benton Way needed to be reconstructed. He asked that the City do the
whole neighborhood at one time. He stated he believed an overlay was best at this time, until the
entire neighborhood could be reconstructed. He urged Council to also seal-coat Benton Way at
this time.
Gary Drewa, 1141 Hunters Court, stated if a reconstruction of Waldon Place and Hunters Court
is done, the residents would be displaced for three months, and if they waited to do Benton Way
at a future time, they would be displaced again because they could not reach their cul-de-sacs
when Benton Way was under reconstruction.
Councilmember Grant asked for the estimate of the overlay. The City Engineer replied it was
about $40,000 - $50,000 combined, with $195,000 for reconstruction, both including engineering
and contractor costs.
Councilmember Rem stated one of the resident's concems at the public meeting was her family
had just contracted to put an addition to their house this summer, which would lead to more
traffic and if they had received more notice, they would have changed their plans. She stated the
residents would appreciate more notice for proj ects such as these.
The City Engineer stated the disturbance where there was actual dirt and dust would be 3-4
weeks. The residents would not be displaced for three months. He stated there were certainly
inconveniences, but the residents would always be able to get to their driveways.
Councilmember Aplikowski asked if it was okay with the residents in attendance at tonight's
meeting to essentially be assessed twice if they did the overlay and then did the reconstruction at
a future date. The residents in attendance at tonight's meeting stated they were in support of this
approach.

Councilmember Grant asked the residents in attendance at tonight's meeting if the remaining
neighbors would also be in agreement with the cul-de-sacs being overlaid and not reconstructed
with the possibility of assessed for two projects. The residents in attendance at this meeting
stated they believed all of the residents were in agreement that they wanted the cul-de-sacs
overlaid at this point in time.
.
Mayor Probst stated his concern was that the City's practice was that they assessed for half of the
streets to the residents benefiting from the streets, and the other half came out of the General
Fund which all residents contributed to, and if they only did overlay now and reconstruction at a
future date, that would lead to more expense to the taxpayers. He stated these cul-de-sacs came
in very low on the PCI, and he believed it was time to do the reconstruction improvement.
Mr. Drewa stated for fifteen years the City had ignored their cul-de-sacs and when they asked for
an overlay in 1995, the Council refused. He indicated the City had not maintained the streets.
Councilmember Larson stated it was not logical that there would be two assessments for this
project - one for an overlay now and one for a reconstruction in the future. He stated he did not
believe the City should spend the money for an overlay and then, in a relatively short period of
time, have to tear up the cul-de-sacs for the reconstruction. He agreed with the arguments the
residents had, and he wished the City would have maintained the streets better, but the issue
tonight was that the streets needed to be repaired, and what made the most financial sense.
Councilmember Grant asked how long the streets would last with full reconstruction. The City
Engineer replied a full reconstruction should last approximately 40 years, with some overlays
during that period of time.
.
Councilmember Grant asked how long the streets would last with an overlay. The City Engineer
replied an average of six years.
Councilmember Grant stated the Council was essentially looking at a combined annual cost
difference of $1,500 more by doing the reconstruction. The City Engineer replied that the
feasibility study was not done yet, but he fully expected there would nothing left of the
bituminous once a milling machine went over it. He stated the cul-de-sacs were all patched right
now. He stated he believed the issues were structural problems below the surface.
Mr. Bujold stated, in terms of the amount of the material that would need to be removed if total
reconstruction were done, they were not talking about a street that had a lot of traffic. He
indicated he did not believe they needed to haul in a lot of sand. He stated, in terms of the patch-
work done on the two cul-de-sacs, he had contacted the street department to fill the potholes. He
expressed frustration that the City did not do regular maintenance on the streets. He stated he
was surprised last spring that there was so much patching done. He did not believe the amount to
be excessive. He indicated if the total reconstruction was delayed, the residents could start to
plan for that expense. He stated this was too short of a notice for a total reconstruction. He .
requested Council give the residents a one-year notice, which is in the street maintenance policy.

Councilmember Aplikowski asked how they felt about waiting until Benton Way needed to be
reconstructed. She asked if they could they live on their streets as is with no improvements.
Mr. Bujold staled one of his concerns about doing nothing was not having any commitment by
Council. He indicated there may not be money to do a full reconstruction on the cul-de-sacs in
the future, or there may be different priorities down the road by a future Council that differed
with what Council's priorities were today, and then the cul-de-sacs may not be done. He stated
something needed to happen sooner than waiting for the Benton Way reconstruction.
Mr. Drewa stated as long as their street was patched as needed, he believed the residents could
wait three to five years. He indicated he had lived in his home for 25 years and nothing had been
done by the City to maintain the street.
Councilmember Rem stated the staffs recommendation was for a feasibility report being
prepared and she stated they were stuck on not knowing on the condition of the roads. She
agreed the Engineer should do a feasibility study, but she also wanted an overlay evaluation. She
indicated once they received that information, they would be better informed as to what really
needed to be done at this time.
Councilmember Aplikowski asked when the feasibility study would be done. The City Engineer
replied they should have the study done within the next two weeks, or a month at the longest.
Councilmember Grant asked for the cost of the feasibility study. The City Engineer replied
$2,500 for the boring tests and approximately $4000-$5000 for the report.
MOTION:
Councilmember Rem moved and Councilmember Aplikowski seconded a motion
to authorize a Street Improvement Feasibility Study for mill and overlay or for
complete reconstruction of Waldon Place and Hunters Court with for an
evaluation of Benton Way. Motion carried 3-2 (Probst and Larson).
Councilmember Larson stated number three should be removed from the recommendations. He
stated Benton Way would not be reconstructed this year.
MOTION:
Councilmember Larson moved for authorizing options I and 2. Motion failed for
a lack of a second.
Mayor Probst stated he understood what Councilmember Rem was trying to do, but he did not
believe Benton Way should be included because notice had not been sent to the residents.
Councilmember Aplikowski stated having the information on Benton Way was crucial for a
decision, and the study was only a tool for them to determine where they were going with this
recommendation.
Councilmember Larson stated it made sense for the Council to do a feasibility study for options
one and two because Benton Way would not be reconstructed.

MOTION:
Councilmcmber Grant moved and Councilmember Aplikowski seconded a
friendly amendment to number three stating "a complete evaluation on the
condition of Benton way as it related to Waldon Place and Hunters Court".
Councilmember Rem accepted Councilmember Grant's friendly amendment.
Amendment carried 3-2 (Probst and Larson).
.
Mayor Probst requested correspondence be sent to residents along Benton Way as to why borings
were going to be done. Councilmember Rem stated this had already been done.
Councilmember Larson stated this was not a neighborhood project; these were two small cul-de-
sacs and while it was the intention of giving a year's notice for large projects, he did not see this
as a large project. He stated he did not see that any information obtained about Benton Way in
the feasibility report would influence what the decision was for Waldon Place and Hunters Court.
Councilmember Grant asked the City Engineer how long Benton Way would last before
reconstruction was recommended. The City Engineer replied 3-8 years.
Councilmember Grant stated if it was three years and the residents were willing to wait, and then
nothing should be done at this time, but ifit was eight years, then this needed to be looked at.
Councilmember Rem stated it was the City's policy to give a year notice, and this was not done
in this case. She stated these residents were given too short of a notice. .
Councilmember Larson pointed out if they did not do Waldon Place and Hunters Court at this
time, this would push off other neighborhood projects also. He expressed frustration that the
Council could not make decisions and stick with them.
Mayor Probst stated he supported the feasibility study, but was not going to support the
amendment.
Councilmember Aplikowski stated this was different in some ways because they had 100 percent
resident concern regarding the reconstruction. She stated the Council was committed to doing
something this year and she did not believe a couple of borings on Benton Way would throw the
neighborhood into chaos.
Mayor Probst stated only three of the sixteen residents were in attendance at tonight's meeting,
and he would want additional resident's opinions before he would assume all of the residents had
agreed to a double project/assessment plan.
Councilmember Larson stated it was their job to listen to the residents and then make the best
decision for the City. He stated they should be looking at option numbers one and two.
Councilmember Grant asked if boring samples on Benton Way were taken, would that give them .
further information if Benton Way would stand up to reconstruction of the cul-de-sacs. The City
Engineer stated they would be able to determine what was below the surface area, and if Benton

Way was in as poor shape as they were assuming it was, they would be able to make a better
determination as to what might happen to Benton Way and its life expectancy.
Councilmember Granl indicated this would be a useful piece of information.
F. Authorization to contract for architectural services
Mr. Post reviewed his memorandum to Council regarding architectural services.
Councilmember Grant reviewed what the Task Force recommended.
Councilmember Aplikowski asked if they were looking at other options on shared facilities at
this point. Councilmember Grant replied the Task Force felt they should also look at other
options available. He stated if there were some other options, the Task Force wanted to make
sure they looked at all of those.
Mayor Probst asked if the Task Force was looking at options on this site only, or where there
broader discussions. Councilmember Grant replied they were looking at a number of different
sites. He stated if Council wanted the Task Force to only look at the County facility, the Council
could direct them do to that, but he believed the Task Force should look at all options.
Councilmember Larson stated he believed they had already resolved this, and had decided they
would only look at the County facility, and that was the reason it was being referred to as a joint
facility.
Councilmember Aplikowski stated she understood the Task Force was designed to look at the
space needs. She stated she would rather see the alternatives in the possible design of a building
on the Ramsey county site.
Councilmember Rem agreed they were suppose to looking at the Ramsey County site, and while
it would be nice to know the options, that was not what they had agreed to.
Councilmember Grant indicated he would bring this back to the Task Force. Mayor Probst stated
as long as it related to the site, they could look at all options for the site. He stated they needed to
look for the most cost effective way to get a maintenance facility on that site.
Councilmember Aplikowski stated there were very few places where they could put a
maintenance facility in Arden Hills.
Councilmember Grant clarified there was no other option the Task Force should consider other
than the County site. Mayor Probst stated the Council wanted options for that location only.
Councilmember Grant stated he did not believe there had ever been a Motion made by Council
regarding this. Mayor Probst stated there may not have been a Motion, but every Council had
attempted to move this forward at that location. He indicated there had been a number of
discussions over the years and Council had never wavered as far as the location.

Mr. Post stated the Task Force was concerned about the environmental issues on the site, and that
might be why they were looking at other options.
e
Councilmember Aplikowski stated it was her understanding that the Task Force would come up
with a design of the building. She indicated she was worried that the City would not be able to
keep up with the County's fast planning process.
Councilmember Grant stated he would inform the Task Force of Council's decision.
MOTION:
Councilmember Grant moved and Councilmember Aplikowski seconded a motion
to approval of authorization of the contract for architectural planning services in
an amount not to exceed $4,000.00 in line with recommendation one of the staff
memorandum dated March 22, 2000, and to negotiate with Ramsey County and
TKDA on services for economies of scale with a joint facility. The molion carried
unanimously (5-0).
G. Staff Reorganization
Councilmember Aplikowski stated a year ago they had authorized the City to move forward with
a staff reorganization plan. She indicated after much discussion and reevaluation, she was not
comfortable with the plan. She stated one part of the motion was to hire additional support staff,
which had been done, and was a good thing to do. However, the remainder of the motion was for .
job descriptions to be prepared, which had also been done, but once she read the job descriptions,
she was concerned the new structure was top heavy. She stated it did not provide a team-
building work atmosphere. She indicated she was not comfortable with this.
MOTION:
Councilmember Aplikowski moved and Councilmember Grant seconded a motion
to reconsider the vote previously taken to restructure staff. Motion carried 3-2
(Probst and Larson).
Councilmember Rem stated she agreed with Councilmember Aplikowski and after reading the
job descriptions, she would still vote no both for budget and personnel reasons. She indicated
she did not believe this was where the City should be going with the staff. She stated she would
not be able to accept those items.
Councilmember Larson stated this was another example of how that the Council could not make
decisions and stick with them. He indicated he did not see how these descriptions were
inadequate. He asked for reasons as to why they should not go forward to fill the Director of
Administrative Services and Director of Operations and Maintenance positions.
Councilmember Aplikowski stated the motion might have been not to accept the job
descriplions. She stated it appeared to her that it moved the City Administrator farther away
from the employees. She indicated for a City this size, this added too much top-heavy hierarchy.

Mayor Probst expressed concern about reconsidering this because it had been previously
authorized and the staff had worked hard on this restructuring. He asked for further clarification
what Councilmember's Aplikowski concerns were.
Councilmember Aplikowski stated she was uncomfortable with the structure format, and it was
too top heavy, which would separate the City Administrator from the employees.
Councilmember Rem asked for a budgetary breakdown as to what these two Directors positions
would cost. She indicated she had not been convinced that the new structure would work.
Councilmember Rem indicated that Mr. Moore has had his hands too full, and she believed both
of his positions were more than two part-time positions and should not be one full-time position.
She agreed ifthis new structure was accepted, the City would be too top heavy in management.
Councilmember Grant stated if they were going to talk about specific positions, they should do
this in a closed session. He indicated this reorganization would provide an extra layer of
management, which was an expense to the City.
Councilmember Larson stated he believed the City Administrator had previously provided a cost
breakdown of what the expense for these new positions would be, and he believed the City had
been functioning as it should be. He stated the Council had previously approved this and he did
not believe they should reconsider it.
Mayor Probst stated he still supported what had been decided last year and encouraged Council
to stay with their original decision.
Councilmember Aplikowski stated her biggest concern was that the City Administrator was
separating himself from the rest of the employees. She inquired as to why this was the best way
to proceed. Mr. Lynch replied a lot of discussion had previously gone into this proposal, and that
all of the staff had been consulted with. He indicated this was what staff had agreed to at that
time. He stated he would not isolate himself from the rest of staff. He indicated this was not his
management style. He stated the reason for the two positions was for a greater sense of "team"
and to have two people manage those two areas. He stated all employees would meet regularly
and would know what was going on. It would be up to staff to decide how to schedule the
workload. He stated this would create more of a sense of "team", rather than less. He stated he
was listening to the staff, and he did not believe it was fair to do eleventh hour reconsideration.
He stated his original intent was organization by function and management by people who were
available, including him, and to proceed with the dedication of long-range plans for the City. He
noted this would undo work that had taken place to date, including union and staff work. He
indicated staff had made a commitment to the structure and this would undo that commitment.
Councilmember Aplikowski stated they were not undoing anything at this time. She indicated
they had in the past brought in a person to do economic development and things did not get done.
She stated she wanted to take another look at this. She indicated this was not the only way to do
the restructuring. She stated it would have been nice if Council had the opportunity to talk about
this and had heard from staff. She staled if the rest of the Council felt the reorganizalion was the

way to go, she would go along with it. She indicated she still believed the City Administrator
would be separated from the rest of the staff. She stated she had not come to this decision easily.
She stated this was not the way she wanted lhe City to look. Councilmember Aplikowski statcd
her issue was with the job descriptions.
.
Councilmember Rem stated they needed to have morc discussion.
Councilmember Larson stated if this was an issue about the job descriptions, why didn't Council
discuss the job descriptions, and not reconsider the previously approved structure.
Councilmember Rem stated she believed Council should hear from more of the staff, other than
the City Administrator, as to what they wanted the City structure to be.
MOTION:
Councilmember Grant moved and Councilmember Aplikowski seconded a motion
to extend the Arden Hills City Council meeting to 10:30 p.m. Motion carried
unanimously. (5-0)
Mayor Probst stated it was the Council's responsibility to lead the City, and they had the
responsibility to support the City Administrator when they had instructed him to do something.
He expressed frustration that the Council was unable to reach a decision and stick with it. He
stated he did not see the logic for backtracking. He indicated he not believe any employer would
consult the entire staff as to how management should be structured. .
Councilmember Grant recommended they take this issue to a worksession. Mayor Probst asked
for direction as to what Council was looking for in order to have a worksession discussion.
Councilmember Grant stated he wanted to see other alternatives to restructuring. He suggested
the combining of Parks with Public Works was a good idea. He stated he was not in favor of a
tall and narrow structure; but a tall and wide structure.
Councilmember Aplikowski stated she wanted to see a budget analysis. She stated these
positions had not been posted yet, and she did not feel that fifteen days would make much of a
difference.
Councilmember Larson stated he thought it was unfair to the Administrator to ask him to come
up with other alternatives, when this was the alternative they had agreed to. He stated if the City
Administrator did not agree with an alternative, it would be counterproductive. He stated they
nceded the City Administrator's support of a structure.
Councilmember Aplikowski staled she had not seen any other alternatives and she wanted other
ideas to be presented.
Councilmember Rem also requested a budget breakdown. She stated with respect to the job .
descriptions; she was not convinced that the structure they had was working. She stated team
building needed to get done by the staff. She asked why they needed two new people, and what

the actual cost would be to add these two new people. Mayor Probst replied they had looked at
the cost previously and this had been budgeted for in the 2002 budget.
Councilmember Aplikowski requested they take another look at this, and indicated she would
agree to meet with the City Administrator aboul her concerns.
Mayor Probsl requested the City Council members discuss their issues with the Cily
Administrator, and that this issue would be further discussed at the April 15, 2001 worksession.

offered a tour of their facility to Council, and the City Administrator would arrange a time.
Mayor Probst stated they would adjourn the meeting to go into a special session to discuss the

MEMORANDUM
DATE: March 22,2002
TO: Joe Lynch, City Administrator
FROM: Terry Post, City Accountant ~
SUBJECT: Disposition of2001 General Fund Operating Surplus
Backl!round
Preliminary unaudited General Fund No. 101 operating results for the year ended December 31,
2001, indicate a projected surplus of approximately $190,000. Revenues are projected to result
in an approximately $335,000 positive budget variance while expenditures are projected to result
in a $145,000 negative budget variance (including a $44,239 reconciliation credit from the
Ramsey County Sheriffs Department). The most significant driver in the projected surplus was
a $222,000 positive revenue variance in the licenses and permits revenue category.
Last Year
When presented with a similar set of circumstances for the year ended December 31, 2000, the
City Council approved a $150,000 transfer to Municipal Land Buildings Capital Fund No. 408.
Past Practices
Although an operating surplus could be used for any legal purpose, prior Council actions for the
disposition of surpluses could be characterized as using them for one-time (typically capital)
expenditures and not for operating needs.
AdeQuacv of General Fund Balance
Preliminary unaudited estimates of the December 31, 2001, General Fund No. 101 fund balance
is approximately $825,000 (before any operating surplus transfers out). The January I, 2000,
beginning year fund balance was approximately $635,000. The preliminary fund balance after a
$190,000 operating transfer would remain at $635,000. This represents approximately 24% of
the budgeted 2002 expenditures ($2,628,220). A return to the year 2000 level of25% of planned
next year budgeted expenditures would require a fund balance of approximately $660,000.
Building the General Fund balance to this level would limit an operating transfer out to $165,000
($190,000 surplus in 2001 less $25,000 fund balance increase).
Disposition of200l General Fund Operating Surplus
March 22, 2002
Page 2 of2
.
----~2001 Operatilli!SUil:lTus-OptlOns u_~_
Staff believes that there are several options for Council consideration in approving an operating
transfer for the 2001 operating surplus primarily caused by unexpected building permit revenues.
They may include the following:
1. Municipal Land & Buildings Fund No. 408. With City Hall construction costs
largely behind us, the next focus will be on a new maintenance facility.
2. TCAAP Planning Fund No. 229. To what degree will the City be willing to
"share the risk" with a development team on Phase 2 implementation planning?
3. Park Fund No. 227. The recently completed long-range planning exercise has
identified more project cost dollars than current park fund resources.
4. City Hall Facility. Although the facility is wired to accommodate a portable
generator in an emergency situation, the City currently does not have such a piece
of equipment.
5.
Building Inspection Records. The City essentially utilizes a manual paper filing
system. Staffhas contemplated a scanned/digitized record retention project with
database that would increase productivity and efficiency. Since this is the
department that is largely responsible for the 200 I surplus it seems fitting that it
would also be the primary beneficiary of such a records conversion proj ect.
.
This list is not intended to be inclusive, but rather a beginning point in discussions on this
subject.
Recommendations
1. This memorandum be included in the March 22, 2002 Non-Agenda Packet.
2. Council consider this item as an agenda item on the April 8, 2002 Regular City Council
Meeting Agenda.

MEMORANDUM
TO: Joe Lynch, City Administrator
FROM: Dave Scherbel, Building Official
SUBJECT: Building Department; First Quarter Report
April 10, 2002
Report
First quarter for the year 2002 shows that the value of all construction was $4,455,380.00. Total
fees collected for that same time period were $58,989.64. This compares with a total value of
$22,621,535.00, with fees collected of$245,487.5l in the first quarter of2001. The primary
reason for the large difference in value is due to permits for Mounds View High School and
Valentine Elementary School being issued during the first quarter of 200 I.
As a more normal comparison, first quarter construction values for the year 2000 were
$2,704,647.00 and 1999 value of construction was $3,802,940.00
Notable Commercial Construction
Guidant's continued renovating of the old control data building (4201 Lexington) during the first
quarter amounted to a value of $2,039,957.00
Two new homes being constructed with a total value of$I,073,187.00

CITY OF ARDEN HILLS
COUNTY OF RAMSEY
STATE OF MINNESOTA
ORDINANCE NO. 327
AN ORDINANCE ADDING CHAPTER 360
RELATING TO RIGHT-OF-WAY MANAGEMENT
TO THE CITY OF ARDEN HILLS MUNICIPAL CODE
Findings and Purpose
Subd. 1. In order to provide for the health, safety and well being of its citizens, as
well as to insure the structural integrity of its streets and the use of the Right-of-Way,
the City strives to keep its Rights-of-Way in a state of good repair and free from
unnecessary encumbrances. Although the general population bears the financial
burden for the upkeep of the Rights-of-Way, a primary cause for the early and
excessive deterioration of its Rights-of-Way is their frequent excavation by persons
whose equipment is located therein.
Right-of-Way obstruction is a source of frustration for merchants, business owners
and the general population which must avoid these obstructions or change travel or
shopping plans because of them and has a detrimental effect on commerce. Persons
whose equipment is located within the Right-of-Way are the primary cause of these
frequent obstructions.
The City recognizes that it holds the Rights-of-Way within its geographical
boundaries as an asset in trust for its citizens. The City and other public entities have
invested millions of dollars in public funds to build and maintain the Right-of-Way. It
also recognizes that some persons, by placing their equipment in the Right-of-Way
and charging the citizens of the City for goods and services delivered thereby, are
using this property held for the public good. Although such services are often
necessary or convenient for the citizens, such persons receive revenue and/or profit
through their use of public property.
The Minnesota Legislature has recognized that it is in the public's interest that the use
and regulation of Rights-of-Way be carried on in a fair, efficient, competitively
neutral, and substantially uniform manner, while recognizing such regulation must
reflect distinct engineering, construction, operation, maintenance, and public and
worker safety requirements and standards applicable to various users of Rights-of-
Way. Further, the Legislature has determined that because increasing numbers of
persons may seek usage of Rights-of-Way, municipalities such as the City must be
and have been authorized to regulate use of Rights-of-Way. Consistent with this
mandate, the City has endeavored to model its Right-of-Way regulations consistent
with those of models enacted or under consideration by municipalities throughout the
state. Further, the City has endeavored to create competitively neutral Right-of-Way
standards and regulations of general applicability.

Subd. 9. Permit Fees
360 - 9
c.
City for costs associated with a decrease in the useful life of the Right-of-Way

I. City Restoration. If the City restores the Right-of-Way, the permittee

repairing said Right-of-Way.
2. Permittee Restoration. If the permittee restores the Right-of-Way itself
at the time of application for an excavation permit, such permittee may
be required to post an additional performance bond in an amount
determined by the City to be sufficient to cover the cost of restoring
the Right-of-Way to its pre-excavation condition. If, thirty-six (36)
months after completion of the restoration of the Right-of-Way, the
City determines that the Right-of-Way has been properly restored, the
surety on the performance bond shall be released.
B.
The permittee shall perform the work according to the standards and with the
materials specified by the City. The City shall have the authority to prescribe

authority, shall be guided but not limited by the following standards and
considerations:
.
1. The number, size, depth and duration of the excavations, disruptions or
damage to the Right-of-Way;
2. The traffic volume carried by the Right-of-Way; the character of the
neighborhood surrounding the Right-of-Way;
3. The pre-excavation condition of the Right-of-Way; the remaining life
expectancy of the Right-of- Way affected by the excavation;
4. Whether the relative cost of the method of restoration to the permittee
is in reasonable balance with the prevention of an accelerated
depreciation of the Right-of-Way that would otherwise result from the
excavation, disturbance or damage to the Right-of-Way; and
5. The likelihood that the particular method of restoration would be
effective in slowing the depreciation of the Right-of-Way that would
otherwise take place.
By restoring the Right-of-Way itself, the permittee guarantees its work and
shall maintain it for thirty-six (36) months following its completion. During
this thirty-six month period it shall, upon notification from the City, correct all
restoration work to the extent necessary, using the method required by the
.

that is or, pursuant to current technology, the City expects will someday be located
within the Right-of-Way. Excavation, obstruction, or other permits issued by the City
involving the installation or replacement of equipment may designate the proper a
corridor for the equipment at issue and such equipment must be located accordingly. ..
Any registrant whose equipment is located prior to enactment of this Chapter in the
Right-of-Way in a position at variance with the corridors established by the City
shall, no later than at the time of the next reconstruction or excavation of the area
where its equipment is located, move that equipment to its assigned position with the

upon consideration of such factors as the remaining economic life of the facilities,
public safety, customer service needs and hardship to the registrant.
Subd. 3. Nuisance. One year after the passage of this ordinance, any equipment
found in a Right-of-Way that has not been registered shall be deemed to be a

such decisions, the City shall strive to the extent possible to accornmodate all existing
and potential users of the Right-of-Way, but shall be guided primarily by .-
considerations of the public interest, the public's needs for the particular service, the .-
condition of the Right-of-Way, the time of year with respect to essential utilities, the
protection of existing equipment in the Right-of-Way, and future City plans for public
improvements and development projects which have been determined to be in the
public interest.

expense, with due regard for seasonable working conditions, permanently remove and
relocate its equipment and facilities in the Right-of-Way whenever the City requests
such removal and relocation, and shall restore the Right-of-Way to the same
condition it was in prior to said removal or relocation. The City may make such
requests in order to prevent interference by the company's equipment or facilities
with (I) a present or future City use of the Right-of-Way, (2) a public improvement
undertaken by the City, (3) an economic development project in which the City has
an interest or investment, (4) when the public health, safety and welfare requires it,
(5) or when necessary to prevent interference with the safety and convenience of
ordinary travel over the Right-of-Way.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a person shall not be required to remove or relocate
its equipment from any Right-of-Way, which has been vacated in favor of a non-
governmental entity unless and until the reasonable costs thereof are first paid by
such non-governmental entity to the person therefore.

B.
By registering with the City, a registrant agrees, or by accepting a permit
under this Chapter, a permittee is required to defend, indemnify, and hold the
City whole and harmless from all costs, liabilities, and claims for damages of
any kind arising out of the construction, presence, installation, maintenance,
repair or operation of its equipment, or out of any activity undertaken in or
near a Right-of-Way, whether or not any act or omission complained of is
authorized, allowed, or prohibited by a Right-of-Way permit. It further agrees
that it will not bring, nor cause to be brought, any action, suit or other
proceeding claiming damages, or seeking any other relief against the City for
any claim nor for any award arising out of the presence, installation,
maintenance or operation of its equipment, or any activity undertaken in or
near a Right-of-Way, whether or not the act or omission complained of is
authorized, allowed or prohibited by aRight -of-Way permit. The foregoing
does not indemnify the City for its own negligence except for claims arising
out of or alleging the City's negligence where such negligence arises out of or
is primarily related to the presence, installation, construction, operation,
maintenance or repair of said equipment by the registrant or on the registrant's
behalf, including, but not limited to, the issuance of permits and inspection of
plans or work. This Chapter is not, as to third parties, a waiver of any defense
or immunity otherwise available to the registrant or to the City, and the
registrant, in defending any action on behalf of the City, shall be entitled to
assert in any action every defense or immunity that the City could assert in its
own behalf.
Subd. 10. Future Uses. In placing any equipment, or allowing it to be placed, in the
Right-of-Way the City is not liable for any damages caused thereby to any
registrant's equipment which is already in place. No registrant is entitled to rely on
the provisions of this Chapter, and no special duty is created as to any registrant. This
Chapter is enacted to protect the general health, welfare and safety of the public at
large.
Subd. 11. Abandoned and Unusable Equipment
A. A registrant who has determined to discontinue its operation with respect to
any equipment in any Right-of-Way, or segment or portion thereof, in the City
must either:
1. Provide information satisfactory to the City that the registrant's
obligations for its equipment in the Right-of-Way under this Chapter
have been lawfully assumed by another registrant; or
2. Submit to the City a proposal and instruments for transferring
ownership of its equipment to the City. If a registrant proceeds under
this clause, the City may, at its option:
a.
Purchase the equipment, or
b.
Require the registrant, at its own expense, to remove it, or
360 - 21
respectively, except for conditions relating to the term of the pennit and the right of
termination. If a permit, right or registration shall be considered a revocable permit as .
provided herein, the permittee must acknowledge the authority of the City Council to
issue such revocable permit and the power to revoke it. Nothing in this Chapter
precludes the City from requiring a franchise agreement with the applicant, as
allowed by law, in addition to requirements set forth herein.
360.19
Non-Exclusive Remedy, The remedies provided in this Chapter and other chapters in
the legislative code are not exclusive or in lieu of other rights and remedies that the
City may have at law or in equity. The City is hereby authorized to seek legal and
equitable relief for actual or threatened injury to the public Rights-of-Way, including
damages to the Rights-of-Way, whether or not caused by a violation of any of the
provisions of this Chapter or other provisions of the legislative code.

MEMORANDUM
DATE: April 10, 2002
TO: Mayor and City Council
Joe Lynch, City Administrator
FROM: Aaron Parrish, City Planner ~(
SUBJECT: TCAAP Developer Discussion
Developer Team Members
To date, the Council has heard four formal presentations from various development teams
interested in partnering with the City on the reuse and redevelopment of select portions of
TCAAP. For reference, the following companies have made presentations:
1. Mills Corporati on
2. Centex Multifamily Homes / Glenn Rehbein Construction
3. Dave Bernard Home Builders (Rottlund Homes)
4. Opus Corporation
A spreadsheet highlighting the key team members for each presenter has been attached for your
revIew.
Model Af!reements
As Council may recall, staff was previously directed to research model agreements that could
provide the foundation for a relationship between the City and prospective partner. Throughout
the course of researching a number of "high profile" developments throughout the metro area, it
was found that the range of agreements between the respective Cities and developers was highly
situational and project dependent. In short, there is no standard approach. For reference, the
following projects and related agreements were researched:
I. Park Commons East Redevelopment in St. Louis Park
A preliminary development agreement is being utilized prior to the negotiation and
execution of a redevelopment agreement. This agreement offers the developer
exclusivity for a specified period of time while they compile applicable market and

technical information. As part of the agreement, the developer submitted cash and a
letter of credit to offset cost incurred by the City in conjunction with a review of the
project. For reference, prior to the execution of this agreement, the City had done
significant land use and project planning for the site. In addition, the City has acquired,
or is in the process of acquiring the land for the project.
2. Northwest Quadrant Redevelopment in New Brighton
The City of New Brighton currently has a "Contract for Exclusive Negotiations and
Consulting Agreement" with Ryan Companies. This agreement provides the framework
for the negotiation of a development agreement in the future. Based on this agreement, if
the terms of the redevelopment agreement cannot be agreed to, or if the project cannot
proceed, the developer would be reimbursed by the City up to $200,000.
For reference, prior to the execution of this agreement, the City had done significant land
use and project planning for the site. In addition, the City has acquired, or is in the
process of acquiring the land for the project.
3. Upper Landings Redevelopment in St. Paul
.
The approach taken by the Upper Landings project in St. Paul was somewhat unique. In
this instance, the St. Paul HRA adopted a resolution designating a tentative developer for
the project. In exchange for the designation, the developer was required to submit a
$100,000 refundable deposit. However, it was explicitly recognized that all pre-
development activity was the developer's responsibility. After preliminary analysis and
due diligence, the resolution provides a framework for entering into a formal
redevelopment agreement. It should be noted that the St. Paul HRA did own the property,
and that conceptual land use planning had been completed.
Due to the many unique characteristics associated with the reuse and redevelopment of TCAAP,
and since more refined project planning and analysis needs to be completed prior to entering into
a preliminary or standard redevelopment agreement, staff would suggest an agreement similar to
the one utilized in the Upper Landings redevelopment with the following distinctions:
I. The document take the form of a "Preliminary Development Agreement" as opposed to a
resolution.
2. Language be incorporated to reflect legal, technical and goverrunental affairs activities
associated with land acquisition efforts.
3. Incorporate provisions requiring an escrow to be submitted to the City for reimbursement
of project expenses including but not limited to legal, goverrunental affairs, planning, a.
environmental, and engineering consultants that may need to be retained to ensure the ..
City's interests are appropriately represented.
4. City selects, or has input into the selection of the planning/design firm.

Memo 10 Mayor and City Council
TCAAP Developer Discussion
April 10, 2002
Page 3 of 3
Of course, throughout the course of developing this agreement staff would need to work closely
with legal counsel and the selected development team. For your reference, staff also researched
the Arbor Lakes project in Maple Grove and the Near Northside redevelopment in Minneapolis,
however, the circumstances surrounding these particular projects were not necessarily applicable
to the reuse of TCAAP. In addition, the City of St. Anthony was contacted regarding their
Apache Plaza redevelopment, but they have not finalized an agreement with their selected
developer at this point.
Local Develovment Team
As the Council has indicated on a number of occasions, proceeding in responsible manner with
regard to TCAAP will require the City to assemble a "Local Development Team." While in
some instances it is premature to identify team members prior to the selection of a development
team/partner, the following could serve as a starting point for discussion purposes:

TCAAP
In thinking about our presentation and proposal to the City and follow up correspodance, I feel there
is a need to clarify one aspect.
On behalf of our development team I would like to restate our commitment to advance resources
(time, money, etc...) to assist in the planning of the TCAAP. Our group is prepared to make the
appropriate investments in terms of advancing our mutually defined goals and objectives.
I feel that this commitment may not have been expressed as clearly as we would have liked. I would
appreciate it if you would express this willingness to the Council as part of their deliberations next
monday.

The Redevelopment Property, described on attached Exhibit A, is an underutilized and
inappropriately developed site. The City's objective is to facilitate a well-planned development
of the Redevelopment Property through a coordinated and integrated development strategy
which will take advantage of the unique characteristics of the Redevelopment Property.
Planning the Redevelopment Property as a comprehensive district, the City will develop it as a
high-profile regional center compatible with surrounding land uses, including the new downtown
projects and Long Lake Regional Park. The development will minimize additional truck traffic .
to the Old Highway 8 Corridor, while at the same time bringing an increased vjsibility and
aesthetic value to the Redevelopment Property and the City.
In an effort to mitigate the adver~e impact of the Redevelopment Property and to preserve
and enhance the value and tax base of the Redevelopment Property and of the City, the City
anticipates that a number of actions will be called for, including the acquisition of the existing
commercial businesses within the Redevelopment Property and the redevelopment of the
Redevelopment Property as a high 'density, mixed use development to include commercial and
residential development, including, but not limited to, office buildings, office/warehouse,
office/showroom, light industrial, restaurants, retail, townhouses and structured parking.
The purpose of this Agreement is (i) to designate Ryan as a redevelopment consultant to
the City and (ii) for the City to negotiate exclusively with Ryan as hereinafter provided and (iii)
to set forth the scope of sefVJces to be provided by Ryan and the actions to be undertaken by the
City in the planning and the implementation of the redevelopment of the Redevelopment
Property.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual obligation of the
partIes hereto, each of them does hereby covenant and agree with the other as follows:

Street to me east, the Mississippi River to the south, the High Bridge to the west and rail
tracks and the river bluff to the north. Thi2 City of Saint Paul acquired the property in late
1980s and Cleared ]t of the former heavy industrial uses. The Cily is enhancing the site by
the relocation of Shepard Road away from the river.
Over the past few years a number of studies have been done looking at the potential reuse
fonhe sile, explore development options and ider1lify potential development hurdles.
Potential uses include residential retail, office, open space and recreation_ Hurdles include
environmental remediation. soil condition. fiood plain, urban design issues and flnancial
feasibility.
.

.
HRA staff has shown the site along with other prime development sites to a number of
developers. To date three developers have taken another look at the site wittl Cemex
showing the most interest and capacity to take on major development on the site in a timely
manner.
Proposal

3. City financial assistance, if required for any future development, may only be
available from 90% of the tax irlcremerlt producea by developmerlt aM if it is not
already committed to other prior pledges.
4. Any City assistance for future development will be financed through a "pay as you
go" note.
5. City financial assistance, if required for future development. will be secured by the
developer.
6.
The Clty/HRA will have final determination on Ine design and product for the site.
7. The HRA will determine if discretionary funds from other agencies be applied for,
based on project need and City priorities far future development
S. Cemex agrees to pay the HRA $100.000 good faith deposit for tentative developer
rights.
9. Tentative developer slatus is for nine monlhs and if it is determined that the site can
be developed, Centex will have mree months to negotiate acceptaOle business terms

.
At lI1e end or before Ihe alioned time periOd, Centsx will m3ke a determination if !hey
believe it feaSible from their corporate sland-point to develop the site. If so, Csntex will
presenl a development proposal for the site and negotiations with HF<A staff will b=gir. on
business terms Which will eventually lead to a reo'evelopment contract for the site If Centex
determines not to pursue o'evelopment on the site, all research material and documentatJon
will be submitted to the HRA for their use and ownership.
Neighborhood Review
During the analysis. it is expected that me oeveloper invOlve affected Communily groups in
the process. INine Park Association has met with PED staff and a community meeting is
being plannecl for September.
Public Purpose
The feasiOilily analysis by Centex may lead to the redevelopment Df a critical Site along the
River and the future development coulCl adCl tax value to the City jobs and create new
housing and employment opportunities. If development does not mOve forward, the HRA
will receive valuable data to further analyze uses for the sileo

I. INTRODUCTION
On March 25, 2002 the Arden Hills City Council authorized the preparation of a
feasibility study for the 2002 Street Improvements Project. The proposed 2002 Pavement
Management Program consists of the proposed reconstruction of Hunters Court and
Waldon Place. The proposed project is located in the southeast quadrant of Arden Hills,
west of Lexington Avenue at the south end of Benton Way. Currently both Cul-de-sacs
have a road width of 34' and an end radius of 50'. The right of way is 60' on the road
section and has a radius of 60' centered on the end section. Exhibits 1 and 2 show the
project location.
The City has implemented a pavement management program, which includes field
surveying every section of roadway every three years to monitor the changing conditions.
This survey measures all of the pavement distresses within a road segment, which in turn
helps to assign a Pavement Condition Index (PCI) to that particular road segment. To
implement a maintenance program, specific maintenance treatments are recommended
based on the PCI values of the street. The following table illustrates the generally
recommended maintenance treatment for a given PCI.

Hunters Court serves as access for nine single family homes and Waldon Place serves as
access to seven single family homes. Both cul-de-sacs were constructed in 1974 and are
exhibiting signs of pavement failure. The City maintenance crews have expended a
substantial amount of time and resources in the last few years to keep these two sections
of road passable. Both Hunters Court and Waldon Place have some of the lowest PCI
values in the entire city with respective values of 20 and 9.
This report evaluates the reconstruction of both cul-de-sacs at a 32' wide road section
with a 50' radius end and a 28' wide road section with a 40' radius end. In addition the
feasibility of full depth mill and overlay has also been evaluated.
A neighborhood informational meeting was held on March 19,2002 for this proposed
project. During the meeting the City Engineer explained the reason for the pavement
deterioration and discussed typical road construction standards within the City Arden
Hills. During the meeting residents expressed the opinion that the City should implement
a neighborhood approach to street reconstruction and maintenance. Many residents felt
that Hunters Court and Waldon Place should be reconstructed but would like to see the
reconstruction occur in conjunction with Benton Way. The residents took an informal
vote at the end of the meeting to mill and overlay the street to "hold it over" until Benton
Way was reconstructed.

II. PROPOSED ROADWAY IMPROVEMENTS
Three alternatives have been considered for this project:
A. Full depth mill and overlay.
B. Reconstruct 28'with a 40' radius end.
C. Reconstruct 32' with a 50' radius end.
A. Full depth mill and overlay.
From the soil borings taken and review of the PCI rating data, it was determined that the
distress to the pavement surface is predominantly due to the frost heave action of the soils
beneath the pavement. The original bituminous pavement and base had an initial
thickness of 8 inches which provided minimum protection from the effects of annual frost
heaving. A mill and overlay would improve the surface in the short term but is expected
to deteriorate at a rapid rate because it doesn't "fix" the subbase problem. If the Council
decides to select the mill and overlay option the City Engineer believes that a full depth
mill will be needed (cold in-place recycling) as the as the existing pavement would more
than likely break up completely as a result of the operation of the milling machine.
B. and C. Full Reconstruction
Both of the reconstruction alternatives would include the construction of concrete curb
and gutter, driveway aprons, driveway pavement (within ROW), roadway subdrainage
and 4" of bituminous pavement in accordance with the City's standard plans. It is
assumed that the reconstruction alternatives would be built within the existing right of
way and would follow the existing alignment.
Eight soil borings were taken to determine the condition of the existing subbase, 3 in each
ofthe cul-de-sacs and 2 on Benton Way.
The soil borings show that the road was built correctly to the design standards when it
was constructed but would not meet current design standards. The borings indicate that
the existing clay base is stable but retains moisture and is therefore susceptible frost
heaving during freeze/thaw cycles. The geotechnical engineer anticipates that the
addition of 12" of sand subbase with drain tile connections to the existing storm sewer
catch basins would provide the necessary drainage and protection from frost heaving
damage. The City's standard street construction includes sand subbases and drain tile for
this purpose.
The geotechnical engineer was consulted on his opinion relative to the potential of
construction traffic damaging Benton Way. The geotechnical engineer believes that based
upon the soil boring information, construction traffic will likely shorten the life span of
the Benton Way pavement but the likelihood of significant immediate or noticeable
damage is low.

III. PROPOSED UTILITY IMPROVEMENTS
With the exception of minor storm water drainage repairs, no other public utility work is
anticipated at this time. A meeting will be held with the private utility companies to
discuss the proposed project and this may result in private utility upgrades. Although
private utility upgrades/modifications may be done in conjunction with this proposed
project they would not be installed as part of this proposed project.
There are existing ponds in the project area, however the maintenance of these ponds is
part of the responsibility of the Homeowners association and therefor public
improvements to these ponds were not included in this feasibility study. The
Homeowners association should be encouraged to perform maintenance on the pond
adjacent to the project area at the time of reconstruction as heavy equipment would likely
be required to remove silt from the ponds. This work would be relatively easy to
coordinate with the roadway reconstruction and could be included with the same bid if
desired by the Council and the Homeowners association.
IV. PROJECT COSTSIPROJECT FUNDING
The proposed project will be funded using several sources including residential
assessments on the benefiting properties, the city general fund and the surface water
utility fund. The proposed assessment rates are based on Y2 the cost of the roadway
construction cost. Assessment front footages were calculated using the Arden Hills
Assessment Guidelines Dated: November 1990. In most cases the cul-de-sac formula
was used dividing the area of the lot by the average depth ofthe lot. Corner lot Front
Footages are based on the lot frontage abutting the road being constructed. Drainge
easement areas were subtracted from the lots in which they are located. Following are
tables detailing the total estimated cost for each option and the proposed funding source.

VI. SUMMARY! RECOMMENDATIONS
Hunters Court and Waldon Place are two of the lowest rated streets, in terms of pavement
condition, in the City of Arden Hills. The bituminous pavement surface has been
severely compromised and the concrete curb and gutter is failing in many places. The
deterioration of Hunters Court and Waldon Place has resulted in high annual maintenance
costs to the City in both materials and labor. The poor pavement conditions can be
directly attributed to frost damage in the roadway subbase and the age of the streets. Full
reconstruction is necessary to properly correct the subbase drainage deficiencies, which
are causing the rapid deterioration to the bituminous surface.
In accordance with the City of Arden Hills' adopted street classification these two cul-de-
sacs are considered residential streets and have a recommended minimum street width of
28 feet. Residents and Council should consider three choices as a part of the
reconstruction project: 1) road width (28 or 32 feet), 2) cul-de-sac radius (50 or 40 feet)
and 3) concrete curb and gutter style (barrier or surmountable). Reconstructing the streets
to 28 foot widths would add approximately 3 feet of turf to the abutting properties and
would reduce overall runoff from the streets.
Many of the residential driveways are in very poor shape. A bid item could be included
in this proposed project to reconstruct the residential driveways in conjunction with this
project if the homeowner choses to do so. The homeowner would be responsible for
reimbursing the City for the cost of the work, possibly in the form of an increased
assessment equal to the amount of work done and based on the bid price. The advantage
of this would be that the work would be done on a bulk rate using better quality material
and have better control over the construction.
The improvements outlined above are feasible and constructable assuming the proposed
assessment rate is acceptable to the Council. The City Engineer strongly recommends
full depth reconstruction (including a sand subbase with drain tile) of Hunters Court and
Waldon Place as opposed to a full depth mill and overlay. The City Engineer
recommends barrier style concrete curb and gutter, a road width of 28 feet and a cul-de-
sac end radius of 40 feet however these three items should be ultimately decided by the
residents and Council.

Arden Hills City Engineer
Date: April 9,2002
Subject: PMP Scope 2003 and Beyond
Introduction
We have prepared a preliminary scope for the next several years of the City of Arden Hills
Pavement Management Program as requested by the Council. This memo outlines the current
overall citywide paverncnt needs, outlines the current funding mechanisms and contributions by
each to the Pavement Management Program, and outlines a comprehensive approach to the
management of pavements within thc City of Arden Hills beginning in 2003 and running
through 2008. This memorandum is intended to assist with the discussion of the 2003 PMP and
solicit council and staff comments on the proposed course of future PMPs as proposed by the
City Engineer.
Arden Hill Pavement Infrastructure Needs
The following is a brief synopsis of the current pavement infrastructure needs for the entire city
for the purposes of analyzing whether the current annual PMP funding mechanisms and scope is
generally mecting the City's needs or not. For the purposes of this macro analysis we have
assumed that all streets currently not meeting standards will require full reconstruction
($250.00/LF) and all streets with curb and gutter and storm sewer improvements would only
require mill and overlay ($50.00/LF). The annualized needs cost assumes that all City streets
would be either reconstructed or overlayed over the next twenty years. The analysis assumes all
streets to be sealcoated every ten years.
A. Street Reconstruction 13.0 miles
B. Street Overlay 17.0 miles
C. Street Sealcoat 60.0 miles
Total 20 Year PMP (2002 dollars)
$17,200,000
$ 4,500,000
$ 850,000
$22,550,000
Annualized Budget (2002 dollars)
$ 1,I27,500

.
. Current Funding Summary
The following is a summary of thc current funding mechanisms in place for the City's PMP
needs and the corresponding annual contributions summcd for twenty years. Thc assessment
contribution is based upon the current assessment policy which requires residential properties to
contribute 50% of the benefit received from the improvement project. For this analysis, we have
assumed that asscssmcnts would contribute half of the strcet reconstruction and overlay costs
from the analysis above. This assumption translates to assessment rates of $62.50/FF for
reconstruction and $12.50/FF for overlay projects. Both of these assessment rates are greater
than ratcs historically levied by the Council for projects. Thc Storm Water Utility fund is
assumed to contribute 20% of the project costs for reconstruction projects and 2.5% of project
costs for overlay projects (for residential streets). Regional drainage improvements such as
ponds and grit chambers etc. are also funded from the Storm Water Utility fund and are not
included with this analysis. The General Fund is assumcd to contribute $200,000 per year
(approximate current levcl). The city reccivcs an annual disbursemcnt from MnDOT State Aid
which offsets projcct costs for State Aid routes but is not assumed to reduce the assessments
levied for projects based upon past City policy.
.
General Fund Outlay $200,000*20
Storm Water Utility 0.2*$17,200,000 + 0.025*$4,500,000
Assessments 0.5*$17,200,000 + 0.50*$4,500,000
State Aid $200,000*20
Total 20 Year PMP Funding (2002 dollars)
=$ 4,000,000
=$ 3,552,500
=$10,850,000
=$ 4.000.000
=$22,402,500
Annualized PMP Funding (2002 dollars)
=$ 1,120,125
As a result of relatively minor investment in the City's pavement infrastructure since 1998, the
City has accumulated a substantial amount of capital reserves as of January 1, 2002:
Round Lake Road Reconstruction (Ph 2)
Gencral Fund Carry Over 2000
General Fund Carry Over 2001
One-Sided Street Fund
Storm Water Utility
State Aid Balance
Total PMP Reservcs as of Jan 1,2002
$ 250,000
$ 150,000
$ 150,000
$1,500,000
$ 400,000
$ 600,000
$3,050,000
.
Based upon the macro analysis above, the City funding mechanisms and contributions are
essentially equivalent to the 20 year annualized needs with a healthy reserve of over 3 million
dollars currently. Therefore, it doesn't appear that the City needs to modify cxisting funding
mechanisms in order to achieve the twenty year PMP needs. It should be noted however, that
assessment contribution towards total project costs have been closer to 36% (for reconstruction
projects) in the recent past and not the 50% stated in the policy. If the City maintained an
assessment contribution in the range of 36% over the next twenty years the total PMP funding
would be reduced by $2,408,000 from $22,402,500 to $19,945,500. This deficit could be

overcome by the use of existing capital reserves.
Proposed 6 Year PMP Improvements (2003 through 2008)
.
We have developed a proposed PMP Improvements Schedule to address sealcoating, overlay
and reconstruction work throughout the City. The improvements projects are based upon the
neighborhood approach as has been endorsed by the Council last fall. The proposed project
scopes are within budget parameters outlined above and reflect a higher early investment in
reconstruction to catch up for the inactivity of the past several years. Our overall ranking of
neighborhoods is similar to the priorities developed in 1999 during our first comprehensive
review of the City's Pavement and drainage infrastructure. Our basis for prioritizing
neighborhoods involves the consideration of several factors including:
PCI values for neighborhood streets
Condition/effectiveness of existing surface drainage system (or lack thereof)
Condition of underground water and sanitary sewer utilities, need for dig-up type repairs
Whether neighborhood streets meet width standards
Whether neighborhood streets have concrete curb and gutter
Opportunity for significant improvement of water quality of neighborhood runoff
Available State Aid and City funding
Emcrgency issues
County construction projects on adjacent roadways
Major development/redevelopment projects
Neighborhood Petitions
Our last PCI field survey was conducted in 1999. We are planning to conduct another city wide
survey this spring following street sweeping operations. The PCI survey will assist greatly in
determining which streets are failing at a rapid rate and therefor need attention sooner than
others. We have based our initial six year PMP schedule on the 1999 ratings and know ledge of
the last major overlay or reconstruction on each street.
The proposed PMP schedule includes three years of reconstruction projects and three years of
overlay and sealcoating projects to be accomplished on an alternating basis.
We are on a ten year cycle for sealcoating streets (approx. $35,000fyr) and have been
sealcoating on a neighborhood basis for the past three years.
The following is a summary of the proposed six year PMP improvements and estimated total
project costs:

ENC:
Director of Community Serviccs Job Description & Organizational Chart
BACKGROUND
Council had previously approved hiring of additional support staff and return of job descriptions
for two new managcrncnt positions.
Council received the job descriptions for the Director of Operations & Maintenance as well as
the Director of Administration. After discussion at Council Worksession, consensus was
indicated about changing portions ofthc Director of Administration position and to rename the
title to something to denote the change in emphasis and over sight.
Council took action on the request by staff to adopt the position and description for Director of
Operation & Maintenance. Council also took action by appointing Tom Moore to that position.
Enclosed for your information and review is the revised job description for the Director of
Community Services. The job title has been changed to reflect over sight of Planning and
Zoning, Building and Code Enforcement, Finance and Community Development, including
Economic Development. The major areas ofresponsibility have been modified to reflect this
change.
This position, along with the Director of Operations and Maintenance and the Dcputy Clerk
would directly report to the City Administrator.
Along with the change to the job title and description, Council wanted to see realignment of the
support staff. As previously proposed, each Support Specialist would rcport to a Director level
position. This would not accommodate, as well, the concept ofthe pooling ofthis support
resource for projects or time sensitive needs.
Organizational Structure Change, May 23,2002, Page 2
Instead, what is now proposed is the coordination, management and evaluation of this resource .
through the "officc manager" concept with the Deputy Clerk. As a part ofthe management team,
the Deputy Clerk is in a better position to learn of the needs, know of current or pending projects,
and better able to assign support staff based on skills, abilities and availability.
In previous discussion about filling the position of Director of Co mill unity Services, it was first
mentioned that this position would be filled using a hiring process including advertising and
conducting interviews. Based on discussion with Council, comments made by Council and staff,
I have reconsidered the course of action of filling this position. I believe we havc a current staff
person who is capable, qualified, and interested in having an opportunity to fill this position. Our
current City Planner, Aaron Parrish, has demonstrated his ability to perform not only his job as
Planner, but has taken on the role of in-house technical resource, assists in the TCAAP project
process, and has produced information and documentation that demonstrates his capabilities.
If you make this appointment, staff would recommend that a six month probationary period be
set for review and evaluation. In addition, planning scrvices would need to be provided for those
routine cases. Mr. Parrish would need to continue to lead, guide and be involved with the
Guidant planning case, the Cub Food store case ifit comes forward, and the Presbyterian Homes
case. Othcrwise, the City can either hire a replacement Planner or consider contracting with our
current planning consultant to handle these other cases, much in thc same way it was handled
when we had a vacancy in our Planner position.
RECOMMENDATION
.
Staff recommends the following:
o Council accept and adopt the job description and position of Director of Community
Serviccs.
o Council accept the organizational structure demonstrating the positions of Director of
Operations and Maintenance with over sight ofthe Recreation Program Supervisor,
Operations & Maintenance Superintendent and Operations and Maintenance Staff and;
Director of Community Services with over sight of Finance, Planning and Zoning,
Building and Code Enforcement and Community Development, support staff which
includes the two Office Support positions and the Customer Service Representative I
(Receptionist).
o Council accept thc appointment of Aaron Parrish to the position of Director of
Community Services for a probationary period of six months. Mr. Parrish would be able
to use any time accumulated from his service time as City Planner for Personal Time Off
during this pcriod.
o Council authorize the City Administrator to contract with Mike Cronin for consultant
platming services for the six months probationary period of the Director of Community
Services and to return to the Council with dctails ofthe contract for approval by Council.

MEMORANDUM

TO:
Mayor and City Council
Joc Lynch, City Administrator~\"'I
City Accountant/City Treasurer
FROM:
SUBJECT:
cc:
Terrance Post Personnel Filc
ENCLOSURES:
State Statutes Re: Clerk Duties, Treasurer Duties
Memorandum-May 20, 1992, Pay Plan, Resolution Nos. 92-54, 55
2002 City Accountant Job Description
Background
After receiving a Jetter from City Accountant/City Treasurer Terry Post indicating he had
resigned from a "voluntary" position with the City, the Council directcd me to investigate and
return with information on the situation. I have also provided my interpretation options for the
Council to consider and recommendation for solution.
In April of 1992, Mr. Post was hired under a contract with an agency to assist in accounting and
other areas. He was classified as the temporary City Accountant. The City had a City Treasurer
at that time, Frank Green, who performed the statutory duties as described in the enclosed
description.
In May of 1992, a rccommendation was made to retain Mr. Post as the temporary City
Accountant on the City payroll for 30 hours per week [or the remainder of the contract pcriod,
and to hire Mr. Post at 85% of the current position salary range. This was passed unanimously by
the Council.
At the July 20, 1992 City Council Work Session, the Council discussed hiring the tcmporary
City Accountant at the 90% step salary range for this position. Staff was directed to prepare
documentation to hire and appoint Mr. Post to the position of City Treasurer [or action at the July
27,1992 regular City Council mecting.
T
Memo to Mayor and City Council
May 23, 2002
City Accountant/City Treasurer
2
.
At the July 27, 1992 regular meeting, Council accepted the resignation of City Treasurer Frank
Green, due to relocation, and approved the rccommendation to hire Mr. Post to fill the City
accountant vacancy. The recommendation also included a description of the work Mr. Post
performed during this period. A copy is enclosed for your information and review. At this same
meeting, Resolution No. 92-54 was adopted allowing Mr. Post to transfer funds by telephonic
instruction. The Resolution names Mr. Post as the City Treasurer. Resolution No. 92-55 was
also adopted authorizing the City Treasurer, Mr. Post, to becomc one of the Signatures for
Depositories and for Corporation Authorization.
I have enclosed the job description for the current position. In my opinion, the City Accountant
position and the City Treasurer are linked. Obviously, at the time, the City Council felt
comfortable appointing one person to do both jobs. Mr. Post has been performing the duties
related to both positions for the last ten (l0) years.
Tn discussion with Mr. Post, he indicates that the City Treasurer position is one that should be re-
examined by the Council. His opinion is that there are certain management fiduciary
responsibilities above and beyond those of an accountant. He feels that this is a position that
should report directly to the City Council. It is also his opinion that the position should also be
able to comment directly to the Council on all management decisions.
Tn consultation with the City Attorney, he indicatcs that there is no statutory "voluntary"
Treasurer position with the City. The City does not have an Ordinance combining the position of
the City Clerk and City Treasurer. The City can combine these positions, if desired, by
Ordinance. I would arglle against this on the basis of the current workload of both positions (City
Administrator and City Accountant/City Treasurer).

The Council can consider the following options for moving ahead on this issue:
Option A:
Find that the position of City Treasurer is separate and distinct from that of City
Accountant and either create that position and determine separate duties and
responsibilities for the position. Council could determine that it wants to combine
City Treasurer duties with Clerk duties and create the position of Clerk-Treasurer.
If Council chooses this option, and creates another position within the City, or
combines it with the City Clerk, this would require a re-examination of the City
AccOlmtant position. Everything from a revised job description to a revision in the
pay equity points and the current salary range would need to be examined.

Memo to Mayor and City Council
May 23, 2002
City Accountant/City Treasurer
3
Option B:
Council could find that the City Accountant and City Treasurer position is one,
and continues to be one position performed by the same pcrson. This would
indicate to Mr. Post that it is your expectation that he needs to do both parts of his
job. If he continues to indicate his unwillingness to do a part of his job, Council
will have to consider discipline, including termination for failure to perform his
job.
Recommendation
While there is some merit to the argument being presented by Mr. Post about expressing an
indcpcndent voice regarding policy and managcrnent decisions, Mr. Post has that ability now.
Separation of the duties of City Accountant and City Treasurer would not be advisable for
several reasons:
. Physically and financially the City cannot afford another part-time or full-time
position.
. This position has functioned well for ten (l0) years and the duties have been
capably fulfilled by a single person.
. Shifting this responsibility to another position changes the priorities and possibly
changes the skills and abilities required for that position. It also would mean that
other tasks would either not be done or shifted to others, possibly reaching a level
whcre skills and abilities would be unable to get those jobs done.
I recommend the following:
. Find that thc position of City Treasurer is necessary in thc City of Arden Hills.
. Find that the position of City Treasurcr is not a voluntary position, and has not
been since July 27,1992.
. Find that the dutics and responsibilities of City Treasurcr, as determined by State
Law, and as rcquired by the City from time to time, can be performed by one
person in one position, City Treasurer/City Accountant.
. Find that the duties and responsibilities of City Treasurer should be specifically
denoted in the job description of City Accountant, if you find there is not
sufficient evidence of such requirements in the current description.
. Find that both positions have been perfonned by Mr. Post for the last ten (10)
years.
. Find that both positions should continue to be performed by Mr. Post as the City
Accountant.
. Find that if Mr. Post indicates refusal to perform the duties of City Treasurer as
found necessary and as directed by Council, Mr. Post be informed that he could
be terminated for insubordination and failurc to perform his job as directed.
