5. PUBLIC HEARINGS
A. Minnesota Investment Fund Grant: Resolntion No. 04-19
Mr. Parrish stated staff had been talking with Guidant and the Department of Employment and
Economic Development (DEED) regarding a Minnesota Investment Fund Grant application. He
noted generally, the program provided a low interest loan to a company with half of the loan
repayments going back to capitalize the local revolving loan fund and half of the funds going
back to DEED. In this particular instance, DEED and Guidant have requested the City waive its
portion and make it forgivable to Guidant. This has been done in other jurisdictions.
Mayor Aplikowski opened the public hearing at 7:17 p.m.
There were no comments made.
Mayor Aplikowski closed the public hearing at 7:18 p.m.
Councilmember Larson stated this appeared as a business subsidy. He asked if this met the
business subsidy criteria. Mr. Parrish replied it was consistent with those criteria. He noted it
would require a hearing under the Business Subsidy Statutes, which would be held after it was .
approved.
MOTION: Councilmember Grant moved and Councilmember Rem seconded a
motion to approve Resolution No. 04-19: Minnesota Investment Fund
Grant in the amount of $250,000 for Guidant Corporation. The motion
carried unanimously (5-0).
B. Authorize Execution of Nelson Property Gatewav Sien and Utility Easements
Council member Holden inquired about the size of the sign. She expressed concern about not
having criteria setup for gateway signs.
Mr. Parrish stated the applicant had expressed concern that a sign not put up in the future that
would visually obstruct his building.
Mr. Hellegers replied the sign would not be over 4 feet 6 inches.
Mayor Aplikowski stated the Gateway signs were an issue that they needed to look at again.
Councilmember Larson stated he did not want to slow down the applicant's construction plans
and he understood the applicant's concerns regarding the height of the sign. He further stated he
was comfortable with the height as stated in the Resolution.

Councilmember Grant noted the City's park signs were larger than 4 feet 6 inches and that was
not very large. He expressed concem that a height of 4 feet 6 inches was too restrictive, but he
did not have any objection to the 20 feet width.
Conncilmember Larson stated he could not see the City putting up a larger sign on that corner.
Mayor Aplikowski stated 4 feet 6 inches was large enough for the City logo and she was
comfortable with this request.
Council member Holden stated she was not comfortable with this. Mayor Aplikowski asked if
this should be tabled to the next meeting and instructed staff to come back with further
information.
Mr. Hellegers showed Council some sample drawings of possible monument signs.
Councilmember Grant stated he would prefer to table this to a work session for further
discussion. He requested staff gather sample materials, design, etc.
MOTION: Councilmember Grant moved and Councilmember Holden seconded a
motion to table this request to the next Council Work Session to obtain
further information. The motion carried unanimously (5-0).
6. COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
A. Resolution No. 04-18: ReQuestinl! the Nuclear Rel!ulatorv Commission provide
information on radionuclide cleanup at the TCAAP
Mr. Parrish stated Alliant Tech, at one point, manufactured medium caliber ammunition at the
TCAAP property using depleted uranium. He indicated this type of work falls under the
regulatory authority of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. He stated Alliant Tech has
indicated that the site has been cleaned up and they are waiting to ship the material to an
approved waste site in the spring. Once the waste is removed, it will be necessary for the
Nuclear Regulatory Commission to "decommission" the license that Alliant Tech operates under
for the handling of nuclear material. This will be done once the necessary clean up is completed.
Mr. Parrish noted given the fact that this is a significant issue that needs to be clarified and
addressed prior to any future reuse of the property, staff was requesting that Council approve the
resolution directing staff to obtain as much information as possible through the Nuclear
Regulatory Commission directly or through working with the congressional delegation.
MOTION: Councilmember Larson moved and Councilmember Grant seconded a
motion to approve Resolution No. 04-18: Requesting the Nuclear
Regulatory Commission Provide information on radionuclide cleanup at
the TCAAP. The motion carried unanimously (5-0).

station numbers 2 and 5 had been completed and staff was recommending the Council approve
pay estimatc number 4, final payment to Jay Bros., Inc. in the amount of$22,785.33 once the
contractor provides to the City all lien waivers and the Withholding Affidavit for contractors.

Mr. Brown stated he believed the sod was put down at the appropriate time of year and he was
not concerned that it would be a problem.
MOTION: Councilmember Grant moved and Councilmember Rem seconded a
motion to approve Final Payment for the 2003 Sanitary Sewer

9. ADMINISTRATION
A. Approvinl! 2004 Lawn Maintenance & Snow Removal Al!reement with Ramsey
County
Ms. Wolfe stated the Arden Hills branch of the Ramsey County Suburban Library was asking for
assistance to the library in the form of snow plowing and removal, which would lower their
operating costs. She noted a cost estimate had been prepared. Summer mowing and trimming
was estimated to require two seasonal employees, one time per week for 1.5 hours. With a 20-
week season, the total cost was estimated at $600. Winter plowing and sanding was estimated at
one time per 2" snowfall with the work to be performed by a full time employee for
approximately two hours. She noted with each season vastly different, it was difficult to estimate
how many times this work would occur during the winter, but the estimate was $39.62 per event.
After reviewing the estimates, staff was recommending proceeding with preparations to provide
this service for the year 2004.
MOTION: Councilmember Rem moved and Councilmember Larson seconded a
motion to approve providing mowing/trimming, and snow
removal/sanding to the Arden Hills branch of the Ramsey County
Suburban Library for 2004 from January 1, 2004 through December 31,
2004. The motion carried unanimously (5-0).

CITY COUNCIL REPORTS
Ms. Wolfe - Stated there was a meeting with the Governor's office on Wednesday, January 14'h
to discuss TCAAP and the early transfer process. She reminded people that there was the
Council and staff retreat next Friday and Saturday, January 23rd & 24th. She stated if Council had
any changes to the retreat agenda, to let her know.
Councilmember Larson - Stated Lake Johanna Fire Department Relief Association had met
recently. He noted they were approximately 75 percent funded in the pension fund, but the fund
frequently moves from being under funded to over funded, depending upon the market.
However, the fund was well managed. He stated he believed the City had an interest in the
pedestrian underpass at Tony Schmidt Park, but it did not appear it was going forward as it
should. He stated the railroad had indicated they would need to move the track at this location in
order to build the underpass. The other issue was the overpass on Snelling Avenue. He asked if
a ramp could be put on either side of the track. He requested that staff set up a meeting with Soo
Line Railroad to discuss these two issues. He stated there was an article in today's Minneapolis
paper regarding roundabouts and stated this could be a benefit at Snelling and County Road E
and County Road D and New Brighton Road. He asked staff to explore the County Road D
intersection as a roundabout with the County.
Councilmember Holden - Asked when they could expect further information on the County
Road E2 pedestrian bridge. Mr. Brown replied they were working on it and it would be
presented to Council in the near future.
Mr. Moore clarified that a new bridge would not be built, but instead "handrails" would be
installed with a sidewalk.
Councilmember Grant - Agreed with Councilmember Holden and Councilmember Larson's
comments regarding the pedestrian bridge and the roundabouts. He expressed his appreciation
and thanks to the PTRC and noted he was no longer the Council Liaison for that committee.
Councilmember Rem - The Executive Planning Committee of the Northwest Youth and Family
Services was having a meeting tomorrow, Tuesday, January 13th. She reminded everyone that
there was a North Heights workgroup meeting in the evening on Wednesday, January 14th.
Mayor Aplikowski - Noted Councilmembers were being transferred around in the various
committees this year. The PTRC Council liaison would be Councihnember Holden with
Councilmember Grant being the altemate. The Planning Commission liaison would be
Councilmember Rem. She noted she had received a request from Mounds View High School
asking if the Council would get involved in Human Rights Commission. She asked if the
Council should be involved in the Human Rights efforts at the school.
Councilmember Larson asked if the actions of one person would make it necessary to have a
presence at these meetings again.

Councilmember Rem stated she was willing to attend a meeting because she belicved even if it
was one person, this affected a lot of people.
Councilmember Larson noted he believed they should be involved in some way, but he did not
believe they should restart the Commission at this time. He stated if Councilmember Rem
wanted to attend a meeting, he believed this was a good idea.

City Council Approval Version
January 26, 2004
DEFINITIONS:
ARSENAL -- The entire property formerly referred to as the Twin Cities Army Ammunitions
Plant in Arden Hills. The property is generally located north of Highway 96,
northwest of Highway 10, east ofInterstate 35W, south of County Road I, and west of
Lexington Avenue. As outlined in Exhibit A, different portions of the property are
currently under different ownership and / or management. Generally, these include
the following:
1. Twin Cities Army Ammunition Plant (TCAAP): This portion of the Arsenal is
currently under the ownership and management of the United States Army. The
terms "TCAAP" and "TCAAP Excess Property" are synonymous as they refer to
the same geographic area.
2. Arden Hills Army Training Site (AHA TS): This portion of the Arsenal is owned
by the United States Army. The property is licensed to the Minnesota Army
National Guard from the United States Army for use as the Arden Hills Army
Training Site.
3. Other Interests: In addition to the above, there are a number of other entities that
utilize the site. Both Alliant Tech Systems and the United States Army Reserve
utilize select buildings within the Twin Cities Army Ammunition Plant. The
United States Army Reserve operations currently located within the TCAAP will
potentially be transferred to the Arden Hills Army Training Site. As outlined on
ExhibitA, the most likely location is directly to the north of their existing facility
at the intersection of Lexington A venue and Highway 96. Arden Hills City Hall
and the Ramsey County Public Works/Partners Facility are located south of the
AHA TS property.
TCMP EXCESS PROPERTY - The 774 acres ofthe TCAAP site which are being considered

Overview
Currently, the City has identified a number of potential project consultants to assist us as we .
consider acquiring portions of the TCAAP property. Over the last year, the Council has
discussed the composition and services of the City's project consultants, however, this discussion
has occurred on a piecemeal basis. At the November Work Session, Council was presented with
the following project team:
Firm Services
Briggs & Morgan Local legal support for disposition and development agreement
negotiation; Local public finance consultation
Ehlers & General support; Financial impact analysis; Funding option analysis;
Associates Project financial feasibility analysis
Lead attorney coordinating the negotiations of the disposition and
Spencer Fane development agreements; Assist with approvals for transfer process; Real

At the meeting, staff indicated that the only function that was still in the process of being
evaluated was Briggs and Morgan and their role in providing local assistance in the disposition
and development agreement process. Subsequent to the meeting, the City Administrator and I
met with Ron Batty, an attorney with Kennedy and Graven. Based on our meeting, we feel that
he could effectively provide this service. Mr. Batty brings a solid background in municipal law
to the project particularly in the areas ofland use and public finance. Additional information on
Kennedy and Graven and Mr. Batty is attached for your review. Aside from the comparable
quality of the firm and lead attorney, the cost savings are significant in comparison to Briggs and
Morgan. Briggs currently charges an hourly rate of $300 while Kennedy and Graven charges an
hourly rate of $175. Based on the above, staff would recommend retaining Kennedy and Graven
At this point, the Council has formally authorized a scope of work with DSU for the planning
process and an engagement letter with Spencer Fane for legal services. Additional work
associated with the preparation of the alternative urban areawide review would come back for
Council consideration and discussion at a later time.
Formal approval is still needed for Ehlers, Kennedy and Graven, and URS for environmental
services. Proposals from the three aforementioned firms are attached for your review and .
consideration. Any work performed by Peterson, Fram, and Bergman and URS work related to
the planning process falls within the purview oftheir roles as City Attorney and City Engineer.
Since there are items that require attention on the part ofURS and Kennedy and Graven, staffis
requesting approval of these proposals. While there is no immediate need in the area of public
finance at this point, staff is also requesting that the Ehlers proposal be considered for approval
in order to finalize the local project team.
Council will note that the amounts outlined in the proposals do not correlate to the amounts
currently allocated within the approved interim agreement. Until a new interim development
agreement is approved or the budgets are modified under the terms of the existing agreement,
staff would suggest that the Council approve the proposals but limit the expenditure to the
amount outlined in the approved interim development agreement. This is reflected in the
Request for Council Action.

RE: Proposal for Fiscal and Economic Impact Analysis for Proposed TeAAP
Development
Ehlers & Associates is pleased to submit this proposal for a fiscal and economic impact
analysis of the proposed TCAAP development. This proposal is based on a preliminary
review of documents provided by the City of Arden Hills and a discussion with you and
Aaron Parrish on September 29.
.
Proposal Background
The City of Arden Hills has entered into a preliminary agreement with CRR, LLC to

questions to be addressed including:
I. How will the characteristics of each element (residential, retail, etc.) of new
development impact the type and level of services provided by the city?
2. Will revenue dcrived from the proposed development cover the cost of delivering
City services?
3. Will the proposed development require capital improvements that will not be fully
reimbursed by the development?
4. Will revenue derived from the proposed dcvelopment cover the cost to maintain and
replace capital investments required for the proposed development?
5. How will proposed dcvelopment options impact the demand for housing, office, retail
and other uses within the community?
6. How will the proposed new development impact existing scrvice and physical
infrastructure needs?

RE: Twin Cities Army Ammunition Plant (TCAAP) Redevelopment Environmental Support
URS Proposal No: EM03-0091
Dear Ms Wolfe and Mr. Parrish:
Thank you for spending the time last week to discuss the City of Arden Hills (City) TCAAP Reutilization
Plan and environmental concerns for the TCAAP property. We appreciated the overview of the
redevelopment strategy and your input on the environmental issues.
erhe following proposal is offered as a confirmation of our scope of work, estimated fees and schedule for
,'upporting the City on the above-referenced project.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION
URS Corporation (URS) understands the City is currently in the planning process regarding the
acquisition of approximately 650 acres of TCCAP. The property is currently owned by the federal
government under the jurisdiction of the Department of Defense (DOD) - u.s. Army Ammunitions and
Chemicals Command.
The strategy for the reuse of the TCAAP property was initiated in 1994 through the TCAAP Reutilization
Committee appointed by former US Congressman, Bruce Vento. Numerous stakeholders including
environmental groups and local, county, state and federal agencies have participated in site reuse forums.
In 1995 the City convened a TCAAP Reuse Task Force, which developed four concepts for site reuse. In
that same year, the Vento TCAAP Reutilization Committee essentially endorsed the City's plan with a
few modifications.
The current TCAAP Reuse Master Plan involves the acquisition of approximately 650 acres of the
western portion of TCAAP by the City through the DOD's Early Release Program. The remaining 1720
acres of TCAAP have been designated for acquisition and/or lease primarily by the Minnesota Army
National Guard (MNARG).

.
In an effort to expedite redevelopment efforts, the City has entered into an informal agreement with a
Development Team consisting of Ryan Construction, Rehbein Companies and Centex, for the
redevelopment of the 650-acre western parcel. Under this agreement, the City will acquire the parcel
from the DOD and then sell or lease the parcel to the Development Team for mixed-use redevelopment.
Through this process, the City will achieve the land use goals of the community while also enhancing the
tax base of the City.
In order for redevelopment to occur, the stakeholders must address the environmental concerns of the
property as a condition of the acquisition. TCAAP is within the New Brighton! Arden Hills Superfund
Site, consisting of a 25 square mile area with fourteen Superfund sites within the TCAAP property
boundary. Soil and groundwater contamination exists on the parcel targeted for acquisition and soil
corrective actions are projected to be required to allow for redevelopment.
Extensive environmental investigation and remedial actions have occurred or are ongoing throughout
TCAAP property under the jurisdiction of US Environmental Protection Agency (USEP A) Region V and
the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA). Certain areas of the 650-acre parcel targeted for
acquisition have known soil and groundwater contamination. As a function of the City's proposed
acquisition of this parcel, the Development Team has conducted a Phase I Environmental Site Assessment
and is currently completing a Phase II Site Investigation. The objective of this investigation will be to .
establish the magnitude and extent of environmental impacts within the acquisition area, establish a
corrective action plan and an estimate of remediation costs.
SCOPE OF SERVICES
The key objectives of URS scope of services will be to assist the City in:
. Evaluating environmental liability and cost associated with the acquisition of the property;
. Provide technical input and direction with the development of proposed corrective actions;
. Provide technical support in the review of environmental documents, plans, reports and
environmental regulatory matters;
. Provide environmental technical liaison and representation at regulatory meetings, stakeholder
meetings and in responses to stakeholders and/or regulatory agencies.
. Provide preliminary technical evaluation of water use - reuse issues regarding treated groundwater
(Optional Task);
. Provide corrective action management (Optional Task).

Phone: (612) 370-0700
Fax: (612) 370-1378
URS proposes to meet these objectives through implementation of the following services:
Task 1: Site Investigation Development and Review
Under this task, URS will review the Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessment and Phase 2 Investigation
documents and reports and provide comment to the City and the Development Team. We also anticipate
reviewing ongoing investigation and/or corrective actions being completed under the direction of the
DOD (example - Environmental Baseline Study (EBS)) or others within the 650-acre westem parcel. For
each review, URS will prepare technical comments and recommendations documentation for submittal to
the City. The objective of this review will be to evaluate available site investigation data and determine if
sufficient data has been collected to develop feasible remedial action options. Under this task, we have
included one project kickoff meeting with the City and two technical response and comment meetings
with the City and/or the Development Team.
Task 2a: Corrective Action Plan Development and Review
URS will assist the City and work with the Development Team in the development of proposed
Corrective Actions. URS will review the Development Team's (or other's) Corrective Action Plan (or
Airnilar) document and provide technical evaluation and comment to the City. URS understands that
~ndustrial use risk-based corrective action levels have been established by the DOD for site cleanup. .We
further understand that these corrective action levels are not consistent with MPCA risk-based criteria. As
such, we anticipate utilizing URS' expert toxicologist(s) support to assist in the evaluation of risk based
cleanup goals. Under this task we have included one technical response and support meeting with the
City and/or the Development Team.
Task 2b: Remedial Cost Engineering Evaluation and Negotiation
URS will conduct a review of the feasibility and cost of proposed corrective actions and assist the City in
remedial action cost negotiation as it pertains to the acquisition agreement. For this task, URS will
utilize, as appropriate, remedial action cost modeling tools such as Crystal Ball 1M and/or other analytical
methods to evaluate potential remediation costs related to site redevelopment. Under this task URS has
included one technical response and comment meetings and two remedial cost negotiation meetings with
the City and other stakeholders.
Task 3: Meetings and Ongoing Project Management
URS anticipates attendance at City Council and various stakeholder group meetings throughout the course
of the project. For cost budgeting purposes, URS has included two hours of meeting and project
management time per month over the course of eighteen months in addition to the above referenced
technical scope of work.

Task 4: Groundwater Use - Reuse Evaluation (Optional)
As an optional task, and based on our meeting, URS has the capability to. provide feasibility studies and
engineering design for the reuse of treated groundwater fram the TCAAP groundwater remediation
system. Dependent an redevelapment water use needs optians for economiclbcneficial reuse of treated
groundwater resources may be available. We have nat at this time included costs for this task but can do
sa upon the City's request.
Task 5: Corrective Action Management and Oversight (Optional)
As an optianal task at this time, URS has extensive capabilities in remediation design, implementation
and constructian management. As the largest environmental engineering firm in the Midwest and the US,
we have managed and performed remedial actions at industrial, military and commercial facilities
throughout Minnesota and Narth America. We have not at this time included costs for this task but can
do so upon the City's request.
SCHEDULE
URS estimates project implementation starting approximately Octaber 15, 2003 with project completion .
through Task 3 in approximately March 2005. We understand flexibility in the project schedule will be
required and that services will be provided intermittently thraughout the schedule. URS anticipates
developing a detailed project schedule with the City at the initiation of the project.
PROJECT TEAM

MEMORANDUM
DATE:
January 26,2004
Agenda Item BENCH HANDOUT
TO:
Mayor and Council
Michelle Wolfe, City Administrator
FROM:
Aaron Parrish, Director of Community Development/ Asst. City Admin.
SUBJECT:
HV AC and Mold Remediation
Overview
.
As Council is aware, staff has been working through outstanding City Hall issues. Toward that
cnd, it is anticipated that we will begin arbitration proceedings sometime this year. At this point,
the heating and cooling system is not functioning properly. Last week alone, we had to call out
Johnson Controls three times in order to have the HV AC system fixed. In addition, City staff is
routinely required to address mechanical failures (restart air handling units, repressurize boilers
etc. . .).
As Council is also aware, as a result of the numerous flooding incidents in the basement and leak
in the roof mold is growing in certain areas. American Engineering Testing Services has
documented the mold in the building and provided a mold remediation report outlining the steps
necessary to abate the mold in the building. In addition, we had a meeting today with the
building architect, insurance adjusters, two mold remediation contractors, the City Attorney, and
City staff to discuss how to proceed with the remediation. A subsequent meeting with American
Engineering Testing Services and the aforementioned parties will be held to definelrefine a scope
of work. In addition, the City Attorney is preparing a letter to be sent to Rochon indicating that
we will contract directly for both the HV AC and mold remediation work. Ultimately, this will
be incorporated into our arbitration claim.
Needless to say, both of these issues need to be resolved as soon as possible. As such, staff is
requesting that the Council authorize the City Administrator to obtain quotes to fix both of these
problems. In addition, if the quotes are less than $50,000 staff would further requcst that the
Mayor be authorized to execute the contracts. While this is a departure from normal procedure,
. staff feels that resolving these issues in an expeditious manner is in the best interest ofthe City.
