Mr. Parrish stated a number of questions had been raised by residents at the November 24, 2003
City Council meeting about the placement of a shed at 1377 Arden Oaks Drive. The questions
centered on whether the shed was consistent with City Ordinances and regulations. He indicated
after conferring with the Building Official and further review of the Zoning Ordinance, the
Building Official had verified the property pins and determined that the shed was compliant with
setback regulations for accessory structures. He noted upon staff inspection of the property, staff .
detcrmined that the exterior finish was compatible with the principle structure, as indicated in the
Municipal Code.

Michelle Owen, 1428 Arden Oaks Court, stated she disagreed with the comments in staff's
report. She indicated she did not think the Ordinances adequately addressed the unique nature of
her lot. She noted she felt the Building Official did not have proper regard for the neighborhood
and the neighbor's concerns. She expresscd concern about the usage of her property and the
impact this structure had on her property value. She asked if staff had addressed the request for
additional landscaping. She stated she thought it was incorrect that Mr. Beamish had not
contacted the City until November. She indicated she had contacted the City last swnmer
regarding her concerns about the structure. She expressed concern that if the structure was
within the setback requirements, they had no rights as neighbors. Shc stated she felt nobody was
looking at the impact of the structure on the neighbors. She asked the Council to take all of the
circumstances into account. She stated she wanted the City to direct the property owners to
movc the structure to another location on their property.
Mayor ApIikowski noted Mr. Beamish was within his legal rights to place the structure where
he wanted to on his property and he had indicated this was the most appropriate place for this
structure. She stated it was not up to the City to dictate where a structure should be placed on a
property, as long as the City Ordinances and setback requirements were followed. She noted
landscaping may be installed by all parties involved, and not just Mr. Beamish.
CounciImcmber Larson stated he had not viewed the Byers property representing the Council.
He indicated he went there at the request of Mr. Byers, and had told Mr. Byers he would get in
touch with City staffregarding the resident's concerns. He stated staff had informed him of the
same information that what was in their report. He stated he had called Mr. Byers back and
informed him that there was not much the City could do because the Beamish shed was in
compliance with the Municipal Code requirements. He noted there was only so much the City
could do with respect to aesthetics, which he believed was the issue. He stated he believed the
neighbors were asking the City to do something it could not do. He noted if a structure was
placed within the guidelines the City had, it was not necessary to have Councilor the Planning
Commission approve it. He suggested the residcnts put up a privacy fence or more landscaping
if they were not satisfied with the landscaping Mr. Beamish had installed.
Councilmember Rem indicated the City respected the rights of private property owners and if
residents were within the Ordinances and setbacks, the City did not interfere with those rights.
Reed Byers, 1416 Arden Hills Court, expressed concern that his property values had
diminished because of this structure, and now they were being asked to incur additional expense
for landscaping which was unacceptable. He stated he intended to follow this through to fruition.

6. COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
A. I-35W Corridor Coalition: 2004 Membership
Mr. Parrish stated the 2004 dues for participating in the l-35W Corridor Coalition were
$11,594. In addition, based on Council's request, staff contacted a local G1S consultant to see
what the cost would be to obtain equivalent G1S services from a private vendor. He noted
equivalent services would cost approximately $3,000 annually. He asked Council if they wished
to participate in the l-35W Corridor Coalition in 2004.
Council member Holden cxpressed concern about how the City's voice was bcing heard and she
was not sure this was a good represcntation for Arden Hills.
MOTION: Councilmember Grant moved and Councilmember Holden
seconded a motion to withdraw funding and membership in the 1-
35W Corridor Coalition and cease the City's participation in that
organization.
Councilmember Grant also expressed concern about how the City's voice was being heard
within this organization. He noted, however, it was not his intent to say that this coalition was .
not valuable or did not have something to offer. He statcd he believed staff's time should be
focused on TCAAP, and the coalition had become much larger and much more diversified in the
things it looked at than any of the members envisioned when it started out.
Mayor Aplikowski spoke against the motion. She stated she had concerns about how the City
was perceived, but the coalition members did come to bat for the City on the Postal Service,
which was recognized by the St. Paul Chamber. She noted many residents had also accessed the
Housing Resource Center. She stated they should not base their vote on the rcccnt New Brighton
joint meeting.
Councilmember Larson stated he was ambivalent about this motion. He agreed with
Councilmembers Grant and Holden in trying to gauge the value of the services they purchased,
not only the time, but also the cost of the membership. On the other hand, he believed there were
some valuable services they rcceived. He stated he did not know what the vision of the coalition
was or what their goals were. He stated hc did not want to see this coalition become another
level of government. He stated he would feel more comfortable voting on this if he could see
how the City benefited from this membership and what the vision and goals of the coalition were.
Councilmember Rem stated she also agreed with Councilmember Larson regarding what the
goals were of the coalition and if Arden Hills was getting their money's worth out of this
membership.

Mayor Aplikowski asked if the City wanted to opt out of the coalition, what ()1Je of a notice
they would have to give. Mr. Parrish replied hc was not prcpared to answer, but he believed
thcy would have timc to withdraw from the coalition for 2004.
Council member Grant expressed concern that the coalition had becomc a much larger
organization and believed thcy should just work with neighboring cities individually as needed.
Ms. Wolfe stated in an earlicr meeting that day, it was mentioned that if there was a strong
interest in the Housing Resource Center, and if a non-member City wanted to continue to
participate, the cost would be approximately double what it was for paying members. She noted
this would only be a few thousand dollars difference bctwcen the total membership fee for the
year.
Mr. Parrish stated since the City joined approximately two years ago, the Housing Resource
Center had approximately 100 contacts from Arden Hills residents.
CounciImember Holden noted the State of Minnesota also has a housing information service
and to her it was not so much what the political atmosphere was at the joint meeting, but it was a
conccrn that Arden Hills might want to go in another direction from the coalition and she
questioned if the City could do that.
The motion failed (2-2-1 Councilmembers Grant and Holden - Aye.
Councilmember Rem and Mayor Aplikowski - Nay. Councilmember Larson -
Abstain).
Council requested staff obtain a list of thc coalition goals, mission, and vision, as well as a list of
the tangible and intangible benefits of being a member of the coalition for discussion at the
Decembcr Work Session.
B. Authorize Minnesota Investment Fund Application
Mr. Parrish stated as a follow-up to Guidant's financial assistance request last summer, staff
had been talking with Guidant and the Department of Employment and Economic Development
(DEED) regarding a possiblc Minnesota Invesbnent Fund application. This was the same
program that the City accessed on Guidant's behalf a few ycars back. DEED had indicated that
approximately $250,000 could be made available. Generally, the program provides a low interest
loan to a company with half of the loan repayments going back to capitalize a local revolving
loan fund and half of the funds going back to DEED. In this particular instance, DEED and
Guidant have requested that the City waive its portion and make it forgivable to Guidant. This
has been done in other jurisdictions. For this particular meeting, all that is currently being
requestcd is authorization for staff to prepare the application and to set the public hearing
consistent with Minnesota Investment Fund program requirements.

MOTION: Councilmember Grant moved and Councilmember Rem seconded
a motion to authorize staff to prepare the application and set the
public hearing for January 12, 2004 at 7:00 p.m. consistent with
Minnesota Investment Fund program requirements.
Councilmember Holden asked if the State nonnally gave this type of money to companies who
did not need it. Mr. Parrish replied the State's policy at this point is to focus on the medical
technology area and this was a reflection of that policy.
The motion carried unanimously (5-0).
C. PLANNING CASE NO. 03-30: Amendmcnt to the AT&T Wireless Spccial Use
Permit-Fcrnwood Water Tower
Mr. Hellegers stated the applicant was requesting an Amendment to their Special Use Pennit to
allow installation of one additional antenna on the City's Femwood Watcr Tower. He noted the
City Council needed to make a detennination that in reviewing the proposed amendment to the
Special Use Pennit, the Commission has considered the effect of the proposed use upon the
health, safety, convenience and general welfare of the owners and occupants of the surrounding
land, in particular, and the community as a whole and that the facts and circumstances of the .
particular case warrant granting of the amendment to the Special Use Pennit. He noted at the
December Plauning Commission meeting the Commissioners recommended approval subject to
five conditions as noted in staff's December 8, 2003 report.
Councilmember Grant asked if staff had taken a look at what other cities charge per antenna on
a water tower. Mr. Parrish replied they had looked at this last year and they were very close to
what the other cities were charging.
MOTION: Councilmember Holden moved and Councilmember Larson
seconded a motion to approve Planning Case No. 03-30:
Amendment to the AT&T Wireless Special Use Pennit-Femwood
Water Tower with the five conditions as noted in staff's December
8,2003 report. The motion carried unanimously (5-0).

for Delinquent Utilities
Mr. Parrish stated annually, delinquent utility accounts were certified to the County Auditor for

certified as a special assessment to their property tax for tax planning purposes and incorrectly

would be added to their taxes as a special assessment. Mr. Parrish replied the City did notifY

Director, Thomas J. Moore; Deputy Clerk/Hwnan Resources Director, Cynthia Young;
Building Official, David Scherbel; Engineer, Greg Brown; and Attorney, Jerry Filla.
2.A City Hall: Update
Mr. Scherbel reported that a mold problem occurred in the lower level of City Hall as a
result of several flooding incidents. He provided the Council with a report from
American Engineering, Testing Inc. who had performed an assessment of the mold
situation. He said most of the moisture problems at City Hall had been resolved.
However, some minor water issues still exist, but he was hopeful that these could be
addressed before the arbitration hearing occurred. He stated the original building
contractor basically wants the City to pay for the failed wateIproofing system. Mr.
Scherbel said the mold must be removed due to possible health risks involved which may
occur due to exposure to certain kinds of molds in City Hall.
Mr. Filla said the City was going to increase the amount of the claims due to the recent
discovery of the mold problems, which may become a health issue once the remediation
process begins. He noted the cause of the water problems at City Hall were basically
caused by the improper initial and subsequent wateIproofing process. He said most of
the damages to City Hall will be expensive to remediate, and that the original arbitration
amounts will be adjusted before the actual hearing. He noted it is imperative that these
issues be addressed before the hearing.
2.B TCAAP

2.C Economic Development Commission
Mr. Parrish brought forth a rccommendation that the Council establish an Economic
Development Commission. He presented sample ordinances from commissions in other
cities.
.
After a brief discussion, the consensus of thc Council was there was interest in this
conccpt, and staff should bring the Economic Development Commission issue forward at
a subsequent Council meeting.
2.D Twin Cities North Chamber of Commerce Membership
Mr. Parrish stated, over the past few months, staff and the Mayor had been contacted
regarding possible membership in thc Twin Cities North Chamber of Commerce. He said
the primary communities served include New Brighton, Mounds View, Fridley,
Columbia Heights and Spring Lake Park.
Mayor Aplikowski said the group had accomplished some good things, and a plus is
bringing the office to Mounds View, which is a more central location.
Ms. Wolfe said an Arden Hills voice would allow the chamber leadership a more
efficient tool to approach Arden Hills businesses, and also noted the membership fee
seemed reasonable.
Councilmember Larson stated his support for this membership, and questioned the .
validity of the City's current membership in the St. Paul Chamber.
The consensus of the Council was to direct staff to have Arden Hills join the Twin Cities
North Chamber of Commerce.
2.E Capital Asset Policv
Mr. Parrish stated that to make the City financial reporting consistent with the
requirements outlined in GASB Statement #34, it is necessary to have a Capital Asset
Policy in place. He reviewed the capitalization thresholds, details of how and which
capital assets are reportcd and depreciated, and articulated the useful life for various
catcgories of capital assets. He presented a draft policy for Council review. It was the
consensus of the Council to bring this forward for approval at the next Council meeting.
2.F Transportation Issues
Mr. Parrish said staff wanted to follow-up with concerns brought forth relative to
Hamline Avenue. He presented a graphic illustration of the signal options on Hamlinc
A venue, which noted a full service intersection as a potential solution.
.

Mayor Aplikowski recommended a neighborhood meeting with the folks who livc along
Hamline A venue in order to get additional comments and feedback from the affected
residents.
Councilmember Grant asked if Ramsey County would be willing to "come to the table"
and discuss options for making some changes to Hamline A venue access.
Councilmembcr Larson said if the City were going to make pedestrian improvements, it
may bc beneficial to look at other areas of the City as well, and get information as to how
rcsidents react to certain proposals.
It was the consensus of the Council to provide a Hamline Avenue update in the
newsletter and to revisit the potential signal once Highway 96 was completed and the "no
turn on red" has had a chancc to be implemented.
Mr. Moore said the first of multiple meetings planned related to thc reconstruction of
Lexington Avenue yielded good attendance by Shoreview and Arden Hills residents. He
said the information presented by Ramsey County was well received.
Mr. Parrish reviewed the issues brought forth at the joint Arden HilIslNcw Brighton
City Council meeting. He then brought forth the Highway 96 and Highway 10 TCAAP
transportation concept.
Councilmcmber Larson presented a list of several reasons why Highway 10 should not
become an Interstate Frecway. He suggested removing the access to Highway 10 as a
short-cut to 694. He asked for support from the Council to take a more public stand on
this issue.
It was the consensus of the Council to have staff bring back additional information.
2.G 1-35W Corridor Coalition Membership
Mr. Parrish presented an overview and discussion items regarding the Council's request
for additional infornlation concerning the I-35W Corridor Coalition Membership. He
discussed the most recent housing resource center monthly report, which indicated 118
contacts with Arden Hills rcsidents since the City had initiated membership. He also
presentcd information from the 1-35W Corridor Coalition website, the work plan,
additional community devclopment assessments, and strategies found in the staff report.
TIle Council reviewed the information, and after discussion, directed staff to withdraw
from its membership of the 1-35W Corridor Coalition in 2004.

Ms. Wolfe said Ramsey County Library Director, Alice Jo Carlson, asked for a
commitment from the City to help keep the Arden Hills Branch of the Ramsey County
Library open. She said Ms. Carlson statcd the Arden Hills Library Board didn't want to
become dependent upon cities for funding. Rather, fonn a partncrship. Ms. Wolfe stated

January 12, 2003
I
INTRODUCTION
For fiscal-year ending December 31, 2004, the City of Arden Hills will be required to implement
Governmental Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 34, Basic Financial
Statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis for State and Local Governments.
Statement No. 34 establishes new financial reporting requirements for state and local
governments throughout the United States. When implemented, it will create new information
and will restructure much of the information that the City of Arden Hills has presented in its
annual reports in the past. The intent of these new requirements is to make annual reports more
comprehensive and easier to understand and use.
Two key componcnts of Statement No. 34 require governments to report capital assets and to
depreciate the capital assets over their estimated useful lives. Therefore, it will be necessary for
the City to develop and implement a Capital Asset Policy that meets the new financial statement
reporting requirements, and provides management information.
While the Capital Asset Policy is not all encompassing, it will provide guidance to implementing
the new repoIt\ng requirements, i.e., meeting the primary objective of financial reporting as it
pertsins to vall.\ation, allocation, presentation and disclosure; therefore this policy will not used
for property cotltrol purposes.
This policy is effective January I, 2004.

CITY OF ARDEN HILLS
CAPITAL ASSET POLICY
.
PURPOSE
It is the policy of the City of Arden Hills to maintain appropriate procedures regarding the
procurement, management, and disposal of all capital assets, in accordance with Governmental
Accounting Stands Board Statement No. 34 (GASB 34). The Capital Assets Policy addresses
classes of assets, determination of useful lives, and calculation of depreciation.
SECTION I
DEFINE CAPITAL ASSETS AND CAPITALIZATION THRESHOLDS
A capital asset is real or personal property used in operations and having a value equal to or
greater than the capitalization threshold set forth by the City, for that specific asset classification,
and has an estimated useful life greater than one year. For financial reporting purposes only, the
City will classify and establish capitalization thresholds for each asset class as follows:
CAPITAL ASSET CLASSIFICATION CAPITALIZATION THRESHOLD
Land and land improvements; $10,000
Other improvements $25,000
Buildings and building improvements; $25,000
Machinery and equipment; $ 5,000
Vehicles; $ 5,000
Infrastructure; and $100,000
Construction-incprogress. Accumulate all costs and capitalize if
over $25,000 for buildings or other
improvements and $100,000 for
infrastructure.
Other assets $ 5,000
.
Another criterion for recording capital assets is capital-related debt. Capitalizing these assets
will minimize the potential of reporting negative net assets in the statement of net assets. In most
cases, these assets will meet tbe thresholds and guidelines for recording as a capital asset.
SECTION II
CAPITAL ASSET REPORTING
Capital assets should be recorded and reported at their historical costs, which includes costs
necessary to placing a capital asset into its intended use or state of operation. Historical cost
includes the vendor's invoice, the value of any trade-in or allowance, sales tax, initial installation
cost (excluding in-house labor), modifications, attachments, accessories or apparatus; and
ancillary charges sucb as freight and transportation charges, site preparation costs, and
professional fees.
In the event the historical cost of a capital asset is not determinable, it will be necessary to record
an estimated historical cost of the asset using alternative methods. Alternative methods include
standard costing and normal costing. Standard costing estimates the historical cost of a capital .
asset by establishing the average cost of obtaining the same or a similar asset at the time of
4
.
.
.
acquisition. Normal costing estimates historical cost based on the current cost to either reproduce
or replace the capital asset, indexed by a reciprocal factor from the estimated acquisition date, i.e.,
taking the value of acquiring the asset new today and then discounting that amount by an
appropriate inflation factor back to the date of acquisition.
Capital assets donated to the City shall be reported at fair value. Fair value is the amount at
which an asset could be exchanged in a current transfer at arm's length between willing parties,
other than in a forced or liquidation sale. Donations are defined as voluntary contributions of
resources to the City by a non-governmental entity. A voluntary contribution of resources
between governmental entities is not a donation.
SECTION III
CAPITAL ASSET DEPRECIATION
Depreciation is the process of allocating the cost of a tangible asset to the periods of benefit.
Capital assets shall be depreciated over their estimated useful live with exception of the
following:
. Inexhaustible assets, i.e., land, and land improvements that do not require maintenance or
replacement, e.g., certain works of art and historical treasures;
. Infrastructure assets reported using the modified approach; and
. Construction work-in-progress.
For financial purposes the City will use the straight-line method of depreciation, which allocates
the cost evenly over the life of the asset. Generally, at the end of an asset's life, the sum of the
amounts charged for depreciation in each accounting period, or accumulated depreciation, will
equal the original cost less salvage value.
A significant issue when recording capital assets is the question of when expenditures are
capitalized as improvements versus recorded as repairs or maintenance expenses. The key
consideration for determining whether to capitalize expenditures depends on whether the cost
incurred, significantly extends the asset's useful life, increases its capacity, or improves its
efficiency. Therefore, capital asset improvement costs are capitalized if:
· The costs exceeds the capitalization thresholds; and
. One ofthe following criteria is met:
o The value of the asset or estimated life is increased by 25% of the original cost or
life period;
o . The cost results in an increase in capacity ofthe asset; or
o The efficiency of the asset is increased by more than 10%.
SECTION IV
CAPITAL ASSET DEFINITIONS AND CATEGORIES
Land is the surface or crust of the earth, which can be used to support structures, and may be
used to grow crops, grass, shrubs, and trees; and is characterized as having an unlimited life, i.e.,
indefinite. Land is an inexhaustible asset and not depreciable.
Land improvements consist of betterments, site preparation, and site improvements (other than
buildings) that ready land for its intended use. The costs associated with improvements to land
5
are addcd to the cost of the land. Land improvements can be furthcr catcgorized as inexhaustible,
not requiring maintenance or replacement; or exhaustible, e.g., parking lots, landscaping and
fencing.
Examples of items to be capitalized as land and land improvements include:
.
. Purchase price or fair valuc at timc of gift;
. Commissions;
. Professional fees, includes title scarchcs, architect, legal, engineering, appraisal,
surveying, environmental assessments;
. Land cxcavation, fill, grading, and drainage;
. Dcmolition of cxisting buildings and improvements, less salvage;
. Removal, relocation, or reconstruction of property owned by others, I.e., power,
telcphone and railroad lines;
. Interest on mortgages accrued at date of purchase;
. Accrued and unpaid taxes at date of purchasc;
. Other costs incurred in acquiring the land;
. Water wells, including initial cost for drilling, the pump and its casing; and
. Pennanent right-of-way.
Other Improvements include land improvements that are exhaustible in nature and enhance the
quality or facilitate the use of land for a specific purpose.
Examples of items to capitalize as other improvements include:
. Fencing and gates;
. Landscaping;
. Parking lost, driveways, and parking barriers;
. Outdoor sprinkler and irrigation systems;
. Recreation areas and athletic fields, including bleachers;
. Golf courses;
. Paths and trails;
. Septic systems;
. Swimming pools, tennis courts, basketball courts, skate parks;
. Fountains,
. Plazas and pavilions; and
. Retaining walls.
Buildings referto a structure that is pennanently attached to the land, has a roof, is partially or
completely enclosed by walls, and is not intended to be transportable or moveable. Certain
buildings or strUctures that are ancillary parts of infrastructure networks, such as well houses and
pumping stations will be reported as infrastructure rather than as buildings.
Examples of items to be capitalized as buildings:
Purchased Buildings
.
. Original purchase price;
. Expenses for remodeling, reconditioning, or altering a purchased building to make it
ready for its intended purpose;
. Environmental compliance, i.e., asbestos abatement;
.
6
.
.
.
. Professional fees, includes architect, engineer, management fees for design and
supervision, legal;
· Cancellation or buyout of existing leases; and
. Other costs required to place or render the asset into operation.

. Expenses incurred for the preparation of plans, specifications, blueprints;
. Building permits;
. Costs of temporary buildings used during construction;
. Additions to buildings, i.e., expansions, extensions, or enlargements.
Building improvements include capitalized costs that materially extend the useful life of a
building or increase the value of a building, or both, beyond one year. Building improvements
should not include maintenance and repairs done in the normal course of business.
Examples of items to be capitalized as building improvements include:
. Installation or upgrade of heating and cooling systems, including ceiling fans and attic
fans;
. Original installation or upgrade of wall or ceiling covering such as carpeting, tiles,
paneling, or parquet;
. Structural changes such as reinforcement of floors or walls, installation or replacement of

building.
7
Equipment, Machinery and Vehicles refer to fixed or movable tangible assets used for
operations, the benefits of which extend beyond one year from date of receipt.
Examples of expenditures to be capitalized as equipment, machinery, and vehicles include:
. Original contract or invoice price;
. Freight charges;
. Handling and storage charges;
. In-transit insurance charges;
. Sales, use and other taxes imposed on the acquisition;
. Installation charges;
. Charges for testing and preparation for use;
. Cost of reconditioning used items when purchased; and
. Parts and labor associated with the construction of equipment, machinery, or vehicle.
Note that the cost of extended warranties and/or maintenance agreements, which can be
separately identified from the cost of the equipment, machinery, or vehicle, shall not be
capitalized.
InfrastructureAssets are long-lived capital assets that are linear and stationary in nature and can
be preserved for a significantly greater number of years than most capital assets.
Examples of infrastructure assets include:
. Roads, streets, curbs, gutters, sidewalks;
. Bridges;
. Water and sanitary sewer systems;
. Drainage and storm water systems;
. Street light systems; and
. Signage.
Infrastructure assets shall be capitalized and depreciated unless the modified approach is used.
The modified approach is an alternative to reporting depreciation for infrastructure assets that
meet the following criteria:
. The assets are managed using a qualifYing asset management system; and
. It is documented that the assets are being preserved at or above a condition level
established by the City.
Under the modified approach the infrastructure, assets are not depreciated, and only the costs that
increase the capacity or efficiency of the asset are capitalized, while all other expenditures that
preserve the useful life of the assets are expensed. Only infrastructure assets that comprise a
network or subsystem of a network can be reported using the modified approach.
Other Capital Assets include computer software that is either purchased or developed for
internal use. Internally developed or purchased software should be capitalized if the cost of the
software exceeds the capitalization threshold. The software should be depreciated over the
software's estimatcd useful life. Capitalization of computer software includes software license
fees if the total dollar amount of the fee divided by the number of units or terminals exceeds the
threshold.
Examples of expenditures to be capitalized as computer software include:

. External direct costs of materials and services, i.e., third-party fees for services;
. Costs to obtain software from third parties;
. Travel costs incurred by employees in their duties directly associated with development;
. Payroll and payroll-related costs of employees directly associated with or devoting time
to encoding, installing or testing; and
. Costs to develop or obtain software that allows for access or conversion of old data by
new information systems.
Note that upgrades and enhancements should only be capitalized to the extent that they increase
the functionality ofthe product.
Capital Leased Property includes leased real or personal properly, for which ownership of the
asset substantially transfers to the lessee; therefore meeting the criteria for capitalizing as an
asset. The cost of the asset is capitalized if the lease agreement meets anyone of four conditions:
. It transfers ownership of the properly to the lessee at the end of the lease term;
. The lease contains a "bargain purchase" option-an option that gives the lessee the right
to purchase the asset for a future price less than the fair market value;
· The lease term is equal to at least 75% of the asset's estimated economic life; or
. The present value of the minimum lease payments at the inception of the lease, excluding
exccutory costs, equals at least 90% of the fair market value of the leased asset at the time
the lessee signs the lease.
Leases that do not meet any of the above conditions shall be recorded as an operating lease and
reported in the notes of the financial statements.

SUBJECT:
Guidant Minnesota Investment Fund Grant Application
Overview
As a follow up to their financial assistance request last summer, staff has been talking with
Guidant and the Department of Employment and Economic Development (DEED) regarding a
Minnesota Investment Fund grant application. This is the same program that the City accessed
on Guidant's behalf a few years back. DEED has indicated that approximately $250,000 could
be made available.
.
Generally, the program provides a low interest loan to a company with half of the loan
repayments going back to capitalize a local revolving loan fund and half of the funds going back
to DEED. In this particular instance, DEED and Guidant have requested that the City waive its
portion and make it forgivable to Guidant. This has been done in other jurisdictions.
At this point, the grant application is substantially complete with the exception of a few minor
items. The application requires some type of credit evaluation to take place. Staff certainly isn't
concerned about Guidant's credit worthiness, but it is an application requirement. As the
resolution indicates, this will be done prior to the submission of the application to DEED. In
addition, the sources and uses of funds outlined on page S-15 need to be updated to reflect the
total campus expansion as opposed to the machinery and equipment proposed to be financed as
part of the grant application. Finally, a copy of the City's revolving loan fund policies adopted
in conjunction with the last application on Guidant's behalf also need to be attached to the
document.

COMMUNITY NEED NARRATIVE
The Community will be evaluated based on the following criteria. Describe those that apply and any other
pertinent issues:
a. Economic vulnerability of the community
b. Events contributing to a depressed economy
c. Unemployment (long term, chronic, seasonal)
d. Need to attract or retain essential services

I.
..
Project will support the economic viability of small, minority, or women-owned businesses
Under-employment of existing labor pool
Due to a lack of active economic development in the past and the present restrictions on various
economic development finance tools, the City of Arden Hills has very limited resources to supporl
economic development and redevelopment in comparison to similar communities. From the
community's perspective, the following public policy objectives would be accomplished as a
result of the proposed business expansion:
1. Overall, the Guidant Campus Expansion has the potential to significantly improve
infrastructure on and around the campus, In parlicular, a new City street and traffic signal
will be constructed; significant improvements will be made to the water quality treatment
on as a result to enhancements to the campus' storm water management system; A former
City street in need of reconstruction will reconstructed by Guidant.
2. The additional, high quality jobs created as a result of the expansion will provide additional
employment opporlunities for Arden Hills residents and the region,
3, A previous study funded in parl by DEED indicated that a significant percentage of
residents within the seven city area around Arden Hills were under-employed in the current
positions. The additional job creation contemplated in the expansion will give residents
within the subregion the opporlunity to more effectively utilize their skills. Finally, by
creating high quality jobs in Arden Hills, residents in and around Arden Hills have the
opporlunity to work closer to home minimizing demand on the regional highway system

stockholder(s). Conduct a name search in the Civil Clerk of Court to identify any pending
action against the company or stockholder(s).
5. To determine if there is a pending lawsuit, conduct a name search of the business and the
majority stockholder(s) through the U.S. District Court.

COMPANY PROJECT NARRATIVE
Description should include but not be limited to:
.
a. Company History.
Guidant is a world leader in the design and development of cardiovascular medical products.
Guidant's devices help patients with heart disease return to active and productive lives by
providing physicians with leading-edge technologies for improved patient management and
clinical outcomes. Guidant has also created a culture in which employees, investors and our
communities share in our success.
Guidant was incorporated in 1994, and since has grown to $3.2 billion in revenue and more
than 11,000 employees. Corporate headquarters are in Indianapolis, with major operations
in California, Minnesota, Texas, Washington, Puerto Rico and Ireland. Guidant's products
are distributed by a sales force recognized throughout the industry for its clinical expertise
and customer service.
Although a young organization, Guidant's four business groups have established track
records in their markets. Their structure provides the resources of a large organization, while
preserving the innovative and entrepreneurial environment of a smaller company. The
business groups stay close to the customer and respond quickly to evolving needs. They
advance Guidant's mission of providing leading-edge technology for physicians and life-
saving therapy for patients.
The primary business group located in Arden Hills is the Cardiac Rhythm Management
Group (CRM Group). The CRM group develops therapies to treat a range of irregular
heartbeats. The division currently produces some of the smallest, most technologically
advanced pacemakers available. In 1985, CRM also developed the first implantable
cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) to treat dangerously fast heart rhythms. The division continues
to be a market leader in ICD development. The CRM group also has operations in
Redmond Washington and Dorada, Puerto Rico.

Resolution 04-18
SUBJECT:
Overview
As Council is aware, AlIiant Tech at one point manufactured small caliber ammunition at the .
TCAAP property using depleted uranium. This work falls under the regula.tory authority of the
Nuclear Regulatory Commission. Last week, the TCAAP Restoration Advisory Board held two
public hearings to discuss this issue. Unfortunately, there was not a lot of information available
during the course of the meeting, and some have indicated that it has been hard to get
information directly from the Nuclear Regulatory Commission.
At this point, verbal indications from AlIiant Tech have indicated that the site has been cleaned
up and they are waiting to ship the waste material to an appropriate waste site in the Spring.
Once the waste is removed from the site, it will be necessary for the Nuclear Regulatory
Commission to "decommission" the license that AlIiant operates under for the handling of
nuclear material. This will be done once any necessary clean up is completed.
Given the fact that this a significant issue that needs to be clarified and addressed prior to any
future reuse of the property, staff is requesting that Council approve the attached resolution
directing staff to obtain as much information as possible through the Nuclear Regulatory
Commission Directly or through working with the congressional delegation.

Ramsey County Suburban Library Update
BACKGROUND
At the December Work Session, City Council reviewed some information regarding the Arden
Hills branch of the Ramsey County Suburban Library. As you know, the Arden Hills branch was
scheduled to be closed, but ultimately the County Board voted to keep it open. They did not,
however, appropriate additional funds. Therefore, there is a fund-raising effort underway and the
library is looking for other ways to meet costs.
In mid-December I met with Library Director Alice-Jo Carlson. She asked if the City of Arden
Hills was still willing to consider assistanee to the Arden Hills branch library in the form of snow
plowing and mowing. I responded that I would discuss this with the City Council and let her
know.
.
DISCUSSION
O&M staff went to the site and provided an estimate of time that this may involve. For summer
mowing and trimming eosts, it is estimated it would take two seasonal employees, one time per
week for 1.5 hours. With a 20 week season the total cost is estimated at $600.
For plowing and sanding, one time per 2" snowfall, work would be performed by a full time
employee for approximately two hours. With each season being vastly different it is difficult to
estimate how many times this work would occur during the winter. But the estimate is $39.62
per event. If there are 10 events it would be $396.20; 20 events would be $792.40.
After reviewing the above information at the Work Session, Council indicated that staff should
proceed with preparations to provide this service for the year 2004. The attached agreement has
been developed so that the arrangement is more formal and the services well-defined. The
agreement has been reviewed by O&M Manager Tom Moore.
