Re: Connectivity Services Agreement with Community Anchor Institution(s)for Broadband
Services at Co-Location Site(s) (CSA)
Dear Mr. Larson:
As you may recall, the City of Centerville has executed an Agreement with the County of
Anoka to participate in the ConnectAnokaCounty Network. The term of this Agreement expires
on August 16, 2015 with three 5 year renewal terms upon written notice from both parties. The
written notice seeds to be made no less than 180 days prior to termination (February 17, 2015).
The Agreement does not specify the form of the notification, but the County prefers a letter of
intent followed by a formal amendment.
The County does desire to renew the terms of the CSA with the City of Centerville. In
anticipation of renewal, the County has drafted a contract Amendment to be executed if the City
concurs with renewing the Agreement. The draft Amendment is attached.
Current service levels will continue unless the City amends Addendum A to the
Agreement. Addendum A may be amended at any time without amending the Agreement
otherwise.
If you should have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me at(763) 323-5641.
Sincerely,
at n M.

AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CITY CODE CHAPTER 157,
STORMWATER MANAGEMENT
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF CENTERVILLE ORDAINS:
Section 1. The City Code Chapter 157 is hereby amended to read as follows:
CHAPTER 157 STORMWATER MANAGEMENT
157.01. Findings . It is hereby determined that:
(A) Land development projects and associated increases in impervious cover alter the
hydrologic response of local watersheds and increase stormwater runoff rates and
volumes, flooding, stream channel erosion, and sediment transport and deposition;
and,
(B) This stormwater runoff contributes to increased quantities of water-borne
pollutants; and,
(C) Stormwater runoff, soil erosion and non-point source pollution can be controlled
and minimized through the regulation of stormwater runoff from development
sites. Therefore, the City establishes this set of water quality and quantity policies
applicable to all surface waters to provide reasonable guidance for the regulation
of stormwater runoff for the purpose of protecting local water resources from
degradation. It is determined that the regulation of stormwater runoff discharges
from land development projects and other construction activities in order to
control and minimize increases in stormwater runoff rates and volumes, soil
erosion, stream channel erosion, and non-point source pollution associated with
stormwater runoff is in the public interest and will prevent threats to public health
and safety.
157.02. Definitions
The following words, terms and phrases, when used in this article, shall have the meanings
ascribed to them in this section, except where the context clearly indicates a different meaning:
Bench is a relatively level step excavated into earth material on which fill is to be
placed.
Best Management Practices (BMP) are erosion control, sediment control and water quality
management practices that are most effective and practicable for means of controlling,
25
DRAFT 12/2/14
preventing and reducing the degradation of surface water as published by state or designated
area-wide planning agencies.
Buffer means land that is used to protect adjacent lands and waters from\development and more
intensive land uses. The land is kept in a natural state of trees, shrubs, and low ground cover and
understory of plants and functions to filter runoff, control sediment and nutrient movement, and
protect fish and wildlife habitat. In areas of agricultural use, the land may be used for less
intensive agricultural purposes provided its function as a buffer remains intact.
Channel means a natural or artificial watercourse with a definite bed and banks that conducts
continuously or periodically flowing water.
Common Plan of Development or Sale is a contiguous area where multiple separate and distinct
land disturbing activities may be taking place at different times, or on different schedules, but
under one proposed plan. This item is broadly defined to include design, permit application,
advertisement or physical demarcation indicating that land-disturbing activities may occur.
Detention facility is a temporary or permanent natural or man-made structure that provides for
the temporary storage of stormwater runoff.
Discharge is the release, conveyance, channeling, runoff or drainage of stormwater, including
snowmelt, from a construction or development site.
Filter strip is a vegetated section of land designed to treat runoff as overland sheet flow. It may
be designed in any natural vegetated form from a grassy meadow to a small forest. The dense
vegetated cover facilitates pollutant removal,reduces erosion and promotes infiltration.
Floodplain the channel or beds proper and the areas adjoining a wetland, lake or
watercourse that have been or hereafter may be covered by the regional flood.
High water level is the expected elevation the water in a stormwater pond will rise to a 100 year
rain event as calculated by the pond design.
Hydric soils are soils that are saturated, flooded, or ponded long enough during the growing
season to develop anaerobic conditions in the upper soil horizon.
Hydrologic Soil Group (HSG) means a Natural Resource Conservation Service classification
system in which soils are categorized into four runoff potential groups. The groups range from A
soils, with high permeability and little runoff production, to D soils, which have low
permeability rates and produce much more runoff.
Impaired Waters are water bodies that do not meet water quality standards and designated uses
because of pollutant(s),pollution, or unknown causes of impairment.
Impervious surface is a constructed hard surface that either prevents or retards the entry of water
into the soil and causes water to run off the surface in greater quantities and at an increased rate
of flow than existed prior to development. Examples include rooftops, sidewalks, patios,
driveways, parking lots, storage areas, and concrete, asphalt, or gravel roads. Class 5 gravel
surfaces are considered to be impervious surfaces.
Land disturbance activity is any land change that may result in soil erosion from water or wind
and the movement of sediments into or upon waters or lands within this government's
jurisdiction, including but not limited to construction, clearing and grubbing, grading,
excavating, transporting and filling of land. Within the context of this ordinance, land
disturbance activity does not mean:
(A) minor land disturbance activities including, but not limited to,underground utility
repairs, home gardens, home landscaping, minor repairs and maintenance work
which do not disturb more than two thousand (2,000) square feet of land or
26

exceed one hundred (100) cubic yards of earthwork provided work does not
obstruct or modify a watercourse or storm sewer system and is not located in a
floodplain;
(B) installation and maintenance of fences, signs, posts, poles, electric, telephone,
cable television, utility lines or individual service connections to these utilities; or
(C) general farming practices, or
(D) emergency work to protect life, limb, or property and emergency repairs, unless
the land disturbing activity would have otherwise required an approved erosion
and sediment control plan, except for the emergency. If such a plan would have
been required, then the disturbed land area shall be shaped and stabilized in
accordance with the city's requirements as soon as possible.
Native vegetation is the pre-settlement (already existing in Minnesota at the time of statehood in
1858) group of plant species native to the local region, that were not introduced as a result of
European settlement or subsequent human introduction.
Normal water level refers to the permanent pool of water retained in a stormwater
pond. By design, this is the water level below the invert elevation of the pond outlet with a depth
not to exceed eight(8) feet.
Ordinary high water level "Ordinary high water level" means the boundary of water basins,
watercourses, public waters, and public waters wetlands, and:
(A) the ordinary high water level is an elevation delineating the highest water level
that has been maintained for a sufficient period of time to leave evidence upon the
landscape, commonly the point where the natural vegetation changes from
predominantly aquatic to predominantly terrestrial;
(B) for watercourses, the ordinary high water level is the elevation of the top of the
bank of the channel; and
(C) for reservoirs and flowages, the ordinary high water level is the operating
elevation of the normal summer pool.
Outfall is the point of discharge to any watercourse from a public or private stormwater drainage
system.
Permanent cover means "final stabilization". Examples include grass, gravel, asphalt and
concrete. See also the definition of"final stabilization".
Pretreatment means directing stormwater runoff through a BMP or series of BMPs for the
purpose of removing sediment and/or other pollutants prior to discharge into a receiving basin.
Project is a planned undertaking resulting in changes to the condition of a property.
Public Waters are waters of the state as defined in Minnesota Statutes, Section 103G.005,
Subdivision 15.
Retention facility is a temporary or permanent natural or manmade structure that provides for the
storage of storm water runoff by means of a permanent pool of water.
Runoff is rainfall, snowmelt, dewatering discharge, irrigation or any man-made sources of water
flowing over the ground surface.
Sediment is the product of an erosion process; solid material both mineral and organic, which is
in suspension, is being transported, or has been moved by water, wind, or ice and has come to
rest on the earth's surface either above or below water level.
27
DRAFT 12/2/14
Slope is the incline of a ground surface expressed as a ratio of horizontal distance to vertical
distance.
Special Water means a surface water or receiving water that is of a high quality or is deemed
worthy to receive extra protection.
Stormwater. Under Minnesota Rule 7077.0105, Subpart 41b), storm water, "means precipitation
runoff, stormwater runoff, snow melt runoff and any other surface runoff and drainage".
According to the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), under 40 CFR 122.26 [b][13],
"Stormwater means storm water runoff, snow melt runoff and surface and drainage". Stormwater
does not include construction site dewatering.
Storm sewer system, includes but is not limited to, the combination of roadway gutters, roadway
section ditches, culverts, storm sewer piping, overflow channels, infiltration trenches, detention
and retention water quality treatment basins and other methods or devices used for capturing,
conveying, controlling and treating stormwater and snow melt runoff.
Stormwater Pollution Prevention Plan is joint stormwater, erosion prevention and sediment
control plan that is a document containing the requirements of Section I. When implemented,the
plan will define the methods to be used to reduce soil erosion on a parcel of land and off-site
non-point pollution. The plan involves both temporary and permanent controls.
Stormwater pond(also referred to as wet sedimentation basin, wet retention basin, or simply wet
pond) is a man-made or modified natural basin constructed to capture and retain stormwater
runoff for the purpose of removing pollutants and mitigating downstream water quantity impacts.
Surface Waters means all streams, ponds, lakes, marshes, wetlands, reservoirs, springs, rivers,
drainage systems, waterways, watercourses, and irrigation systems, whether natural or artificial,
public or private.
Vegetated (Grassy) swale is a vegetated earthen channel that conveys storm water while treating
the stormwater by biofiltration. Such swales aid in the removal of pollutants by both filtration

22, the term, " . . . waters of the state means all streams, lakes, ponds, marshes, watercourses,
waterways, wells, springs, reservoirs, aquifers, irrigation systems, drainage systems and all other
bodies or accumulations of water, surface or underground, natural or artificial, public or private,
which are contained within, flow through, or border upon the state or any portion thereof'.
Commentary: According to Minnesota Rules 7050.0130, Subpart A, disposal systems or
treatment works operated under either a Minnesota Pollution Control Agency(MPGA)permit or
an agency certificate of compliance are not considered "waters of the state. " Under Minnesota
Rules 7050.0130, Subpart F, constructed wetlands designed for wastewater treatment are not
"waters of the state."Also see the definition of"Wetlands".
Watercourse is a ditch, stream, creek, or other defined channel intended for the conveyance of
water, runoff, groundwater discharge or similar hydraulic or hydrologic purpose.
Wetlands. "Wetlands" means lands transitional between terrestrial and aquatic systems where the
water table is usually at or near the surface or the land is covered by shallow water. For purposes
of this definition,wetlands must have the following three attributes:
(A) have a predominance of hydric soils;
(B) are inundated or saturated by surface or ground water at a frequency and duration
sufficient to support a prevalence of hydrophytic vegetation typically adapted for
life in saturated soil conditions; and
28
DRAFT 12/2/14
(C) under normal circumstances support a prevalence of such vegetation. (MN
Statutes 103.G.005)
157.02. Purpose
The City has a strong interest in protecting and managing its valuable water and natural
resources, recognizing the relationships between resource protection, land use management,
development, redevelopment and fiscal responsibility. Federal and State regulations have placed
restrictions and requirements on the management and discharge of stormwater with which the
City must comply. The City's Local Surface Water Management Plan (LSWMP) established
goals and policies to meet those regulations. The City provides requirements for stormwater
management on development and redevelopment projects to ensure the City's goals and policies
are met and that there is compliance with federal, state, and local rules. The City recognizes in
its Surface Water Management Plan that Rice Creek Watershed District (RCWD has primary
responsibility for stormwater management permits within the City, and staff is authorized to
defer to RCWD in permit review and enforcement.
157.02-157.03 Reserved
157.04 Stormwater Management Plan
(A) General Criteria. A stormwater management plan shall be required of all new
development, redevelopment and land disturbance projects greater than one (1)
acre in parcel size or part of a greater plan of development. This plan shall be
designed to reduce and/or minimize the impervious area of the site, control the
peak flow rate, and minimize the volume of stormwater runoff from the same as
required in the LSWMP and this Code. Plans must be submitted to the City for
review and approval prior to the start of construction. Each project will construct,
implement and maintain all best management practices (BMP) that are deemed
necessary to achieve the goals of this Chapter, including post-construction
stormwater management BMPs. Prior to the start of construction, all projects shall
be in possession of any and all permits required for the project including, but not
limited to:
(1) Rice Creek Watershed District,
(2) City of Centerville,
(3) U.S. Army Corps of Engineers,
(4) National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System(NPDES), and
(5) Wetland restoration or mitigation plan approval.
Projects smaller than one(1) acre in size are encouraged to implement BMPs that will
promote infiltration and contribute to improved water quality. The City reserves the right to
require erosion prevention measures to land-disturbing activities of less than one acre, when in
the judgment of the City's Public Works Director, the land disturbing activities are likely to
result in discharge of sediment or other pollution into the City's stormwater system, or into
Waters of the State.
29
DRAFT 12/2/14
157.05. Design Standards
Minimal Impact Design Standards (MIDS) shall be followed to achieve the best stormwater
management. The BMPs used should seek to mimic the natural hydrology, utilize pervious areas
for stormwater treatment and to infiltrate stormwater runoff from driveways, sidewalks,rooftops,
parking lots, and landscaped areas to the maximum extent practical to provide treatment for both
water quality and quantity. The Minnesota Stormwater Manual (MN Pollution Control Agency),
the Minnesota Urban Small Sites BMP Manual (Metropolitan Council), Local Road Research
Board BMP Maintenance Guide, and Protecting Water Quality in Urban Areas (MPCA) are
resources that provide guidance in achieving these goals.
(A) Implementation. Low Impact Development, Better Site Design, or Green
Infrastructure design techniques are the preferred methods of achieving
stormwater management. Mimicking the natural topography and land cover as
they exist in the pre-developed condition to meet the standards and requirements
of the City and other regulatory agencies shall be the first consideration.
(B) Recommended Practices. Practices and methods used to achieve the intent of the
above paragraph shall include,but not be limited to,the following:
(1) rain gardens
(2) green roofs
(3) bio-retention practices
(4) pervious pavements or pavers
(5) plots of native vegetation and/or buffers in place of sod
(6) reforestation and revegetation
(7) trees and tree box filters
(8) reduction of impervious area
(9) rain water harvesting
(C) Other Practices. Other traditional stormwater BMPs may be approved on a site
by site basis to achieve the goals of water quality and quantity, and rate control.
These practices shall conform to the standards outlined in the resources
referenced above.
(D) All stormwater runoff shall be pre-treated prior to discharge to any surface water.
(E) Maintenance Plan. A plan shall be established to maintain all temporary and
permanent BMPs in a working and efficient condition. This may include removal
of invasive species, sediment, debris, or any other foreign or obstructive object or
condition that prevents the BMPs from performing as designed.
(F) Exemption. The mill and overlay or rehabilitation of a public roadway that does
not create additional impervious surfaces; and sidewalk or trail projects are
exempt from these stormwater requirements. These projects may be subject to
other regulations.
157.06. Drainage
Site alteration, grading, placement and installation of BMPs and other related activities shall be
implemented in such a way that drainage from the site shall not exceed the pre-developed rates
and will not adversely affect neighboring properties.
30
DRAFT 12/2/14
157.08. Calculations
Hydrologic and hydraulic design calculations must be submitted for the pre-development and
post-development conditions for the 2, 10, and 100 year events as well as the 10 day snow melt
event. Such calculations shall include: (i) description of the design storm frequency, intensity
and duration, (ii) time of concentration, (iii) Soil Curve Numbers or runoff coefficients, (iv)peak
runoff rates and total runoff volumes for each watershed area, (v) infiltration rates, where
applicable, (vi) culvert capacities, (vii) flow velocities, (viii) data on the increase in rate and
volume of runoff for the design storms used, and (ix) documentation of sources for all
computation methods and field test results.
157.07. Volume Control and Pollutant Management
Stormwater volume management practices shall be the equivalent of infiltrating or retaining the
first one and one-tenth (1.1) inches of precipitation over the impervious surface of the site.
These practices should seek to utilize pervious areas for stormwater treatment and to infiltrate
stormwater runoff from driveways, sidewalks, rooftops, parking lots and landscaped areas to the
maximum extent practical to provide treatment for both water quantity and quality.
A) New Development projects shall achieve no net increase from pre-project
conditions (on an annual average basis) of stormwater discharge volume;
discharges of total suspened solids (TSS); and discharge of total phosphorus (TP).
B) Redevelopment projects shall achieve a net reduction from pre-project conditions
(on an annual average basis) of stonnwater discharge volume; discharges of total
suspened solids (TSS); and discharge of total phosphorus (TP).
The requirements of this section may be altered and alternative treatment BMPs approved under
the following limitations:
1) Infiltration techniques shall be prohibited when the infiltration structural
BMP will receive discharges from or be constructed in areas:
(a) where industrial facilities are not authorized to infiltrate industrial
stormwater under an NPDES/SDS Permit,
(b) where vehicle fueling and maintenance occur
(c) with less than 3 feet of separation from the bottom of the
infiltration system to the elevation of the seasonally saturated soils
or top of bedrock
(d) where high levels of contaminants in soil or groundwater wiil be
mobilized by the infiltration of stormwater.
2) Infiltration techniques will be restricted when the infiltration device will
be constructed in areas:
(a) with predominately Hydrologic Soil Group D soils

defined in the cities Wellhead Protection Plan
(d) where soil infiltration rates are more than 8.3 inches per hour
C) If volume and pollutant management controls cannot be constructed on-site, off-
site locations where the controls can be met must be identified. Guidance for best
management practices and standards for these mitigation processes should follow
the Minimal Impact Design Standards (MIDS) Design Sequence Flowchart for
flexible treatment options contained in the MN Stormwarer Manual.
157.08. Impaired Waters and Total Maximum Daily Loads
If a site drains to a surface water that has been listed as impaired pursuant to section 303(d) of
the federal Clean Water Act more stringent water quality measures will be required. If a Total
Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) has been written for the impaired water then all best
management practices deemed necessary to comply with the requirements of the TMDL must be
implemented.
157.09. Industrial Sites
Certain industrial sites are required to prepare and implement a stormwater pollution prevention
plan, and shall file a notice of intent (NOI) under the provisions of the National Pollutant
Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) general permit. The stormwater pollution prevention
plan requirement applies to both existing and new industrial sites.
157.10. Wetlands
Runoff shall not be routed directly to wetlands without first passing through an appropriate
settling or approved pre-treatment basin. Said basins must meet engineering standards for
volume and flow directed to the basin.
(A) A protective buffer strip of natural vegetation at least 15 feet(25 feet is preferred)
in width shall surround all wetlands.
(B) Wetlands must not be drained, filled, or altered, wholly or partially,unless in
compliance with and permitted under the most current rules adopted by the
Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources in the Wetland Conservation Act

detailed maintenance and repair procedures to ensure their continued function.
These plans will identify the parts or components of a stormwater management
facility that need to be maintained and the equipment and skills or training
necessary. Provisions for the periodic review and evaluation of the effectiveness
of the maintenance program and the need for revisions or additional maintenance
procedures shall be included in the plan.
(B) All private stormwater BMPs shall be maintained by the owner(s) such that the
BMP performs the intended treatment function. Public stormwater BMPs shall be
the responsibility of the City in that the City will ensure that the capacity of
retention/detention ponds is adequate and will repair or replace storm sewer
system components as needed.
(C) The applicant must ensure access to all stormwater treatment practices at the site
for the purpose of inspection and repair by securing all the maintenance
easements needed on a permanent basis. These easements will be recorded with
the plan and will remain in effect even with transfer of title to the property.

already built up in order to provide employment opportunities,to improve the tax base, and

program for improving a district of the city to provide impetus for commercial
development;to increase employment;to protect pedestrians from vehicle traffic and
inclement weather;to provide the necessary linkage between peripheral parking facilities
and places of employment and shopping;to provide off-street parking to serve the shoppers
and employees of the district;to provide open space relief within the district;and to provide
other facilities as are outlined in the development program adopted by the governing body.
The legislature declares that the actions required to assist the implementation of these
development programs are a public purpose and that the execution and financing of these
programs are a public purpose.

Capra, Council members Jeff Paar, Tom Lee, Michelle Lakso, and Richard Terway. Also
present were Eileen Smith and Jenny Dosch of the EDC.
Summary of Meeting
The Work Session.
1. The Council met with the Economic Development Committee and with Craig
Waldron from the City of Oakdale to discuss the economic development tools and
the make up of the EDC. Concern was expressed that the EDC doesn't heave a
clear vision of their purpose. The council liked the idea of forming an Economic
Development Authority in order to be able to use the special authority to support
economic development. It was agreed that EDC should have some goals and
objectives.
2. EDC will meet to discuss their role and to decide if they would like to continue to
exist or if it may be better to have the Council as the EDA take over the economic
development functions.

Ms. Jennifer Dosch was given the Oath of Office by Chairperson Smith.
Discussion of Direction/Goab of the Committee—EDC MissionStaff
The committee discussed at length which direction the members would like to see the committee
move towards and what goals were important to each member. Chairperson Smith updated the
committee members what was discussed at the joint Economic Development Committee / City
Council Work Session held in July. The members questioned whether the committee was doing
anything worthwhile for the city at this time. City Administrator Larson stated he was an
advocate for the committee reorganizing with goals which would encourage the committee to be
excited being involved in something which was productive and needed by the City. By
brainstorming new ideas the committee members may become more involved and interested in
the direction of the committee and better able to draw new members. Committee Member Dosch
questioned what City Council's ideas on this were and did the EDC just make recommendations
regarding the direction of the committee and the City Council took those recommendations, or is
there input from City Council. City Administrator Larson said the first step would be to figure
out whether the members wanted to continue with this committee. Council Member Paar stated
he knew there were members who were discouraged with what the committee was doing and the
lack of movement on items such as the downtown revitalization. He also said that there was
nothing that could be done to move forward with the Design Team Plans for the downtown
revitalization at this time, but the City Council is still working on the Memorandum of
Understanding with Anoka County regarding County Road 14 and a study is currently being
done for potential redevelopment of the City owned downtown property, Fast Block 7. Council
Member Paan also stated there has been much discussion regarding the redevelopment of the
downtown area, but the committee also needs to focus on the other parts of town such as Uptown
Center and the businesses on the outskirts of town.
The committee discussed the commitment of each member to stay or get involved with the
committee. Committee Member Fischbach replied that he joined the committee to work on
development within the City, partially because of the high property taxes and would like to get
more involved in this aspect rather than focus on the Business Appreciation Barbeque and Frozen
Fete des Lacs. He did state that his job often interferes with his ability to attend the EDC
meetings. Committee Member Fischbach questioned how does the committee recruit new
members or get other people excited about what the IDC is doing if there is no excitement within
the committee. Vice-Chairperson Ebel would like to continue to participate, with more
guidance, and would like to see the committee more goal driven; he wants to be involved but
lacks the time to be in charge. City Administrator Larson questioned who does the committee
want to set the direction, City Council, perhaps an outside group or the committee itself. Vice-
Chairperson Ebel said he would like the committee to take ownership and set their own agenda.
Committee Member Dosch would like to see more economic work done by the committee, such
as what kind of businesses does the city need and how to attract and/or how to finance these
businesses. Committee Member Dosch stated she does not warn to be involved in coordinating
barbeques or parades.

Economic Developmem Committee
Meeting Ivl ntw 0".05
Committee Members questioned if given the authority by City Council to do so, could the
committee be involved in doing the research and leg work on promoting and attracting
businesses? Committee Member Dosch felt this was entirely separate from the Centerville
Corporation for Economic Development, which is not part of city government. Committee
Members also questioned if an EDA is formed by City Council will the EDC still have a function
and how does the Centerville Corporation for Economic Development fit in with an EDA or an
EDC? City Administrator Larson explained the Centerville Corporation for Economic
Development is a private, non-profit corporation that could do some things that would be in line
with the goals of city. A development corporation can, for instance,often issue higher risk loans
that the city would not be able to do and/or purchase land. While a development corporation
does not need to be in conflict with the city,committee members questioned whether it may be in
conflict with or on a separate path from the Economic Development Committee with perhaps two
different groups having two different plans. City Administrator Larson stated that is why it is
important to have some membership that crosses the lines to see what other groups are involved
in. Vice-Chairperson Ebel doesn't agree in the idea that the groups would be in conflict, he
thinks the groups could work harmoniously as long as everyone was informed as to what each
group was involved in. Council Member Paar stated one concern he had regarding the
Centerville Corporation for Economic Development was that it appeared the group's focus was
on one location and not the overall city.
Vice-Chairperson Ebel questioned what has the EDC done in the past and what should the EDC
continue to do? While most of the committee members saw value in the Business Appreciation
Barbeque, they failed to see how Frozen Fete des Lacs or the Parade related to the EDC. It was
explained to the newer members that the summer festival originally started out as an idea of EDC
and when it got too big it was taken over by other groups and the original plan was to draw
people into town to visit local businesses. Vice-Chairperson Ebel reminded the committee that
the parade was not an EDC function; it was one he, personally, committed to as he did not want
to see the parade discontinued when Mr. John Thill stepped down as the organizer. He added,
however, that he felt the parade not only involved local businesses, but brings people to town and
increases revenue for existing businesses. It is also a quality of life issue;the parade adds to the
idea that Centerville is a nice place to live. Vice-Chairperson Ebel plans to continue with the
parade next year also.
Council Member Paar stated that in the early 1990's the EDC was actively involved in the
Design Team process and when nothing was done with this project the Barbeque and SNO BIZ
then became the focus and he felt now was the time for the priorities to switch. The committee
questioned what is the committee doing for businesses exactly? A survey of the businesses was
suggested, as was a survey of residents inquiring as to what type of businesses they would like to
see in Centerville. The City has surveyed businesses and residents in the past, and found it is
difficult to get responses. Businesses and residents seem to not get involved unless it directly
affects them. If a survey showed the residents would like a Subway in Centerville for example,
how would the committee go about attracting a Subway? It was suggested the EDC should know
what land and/or buildings are available for sale in the City and be able to direct prospective
business owners. City Administrator Larson stated this is where and EDA could be useful as it
would have the power to buildtbuy a building and lease space to a Subway shop. The committee
would like an inventory of what sites and buildings are available, but this is not something the
City necessarily keeps track of. When City Hall gets calls regarding businesses interested in
moving to Centerville the calls are generally taken by the City Administrator.

It would be difficult to refer these to an EDC Member or request the interested party come before
the EDC since the committee meets once a month and would the committee members be able to
field these calls during business hours at their place of employment. It is timelier for the City
Hall Staff to answer the questions of the prospective business owners.
Chairperson Smith would like each member to come back to the next meeting with ideas as to
what direction they would like to see the EDC take and asked whether City Administrator Larson
would be willing to mentor the group. Committee Member Fischbach would be willing to
facilitate the team as that is what he does for his employer. The committee would like it reported
back to City Council that they would like a few months to continue to work on goals and
direction of the committee. City Administrator Larson said there is not specifically a deadline.
Some of the committee members felt like they did not know what was going on within the city
and they were in the dark about various projects, but the committee was reminded all meetings
and work sessions are open, the meeting minutes of all council, committee, & commission
meetings are on the City web site as well as all City maps and ordinances. Council Member Paar
invited the EDC to attend the work session with City Council the following evening with the
consultant of the downtown design project and said the City Council was appointing a steering
committee for this project. Committee Member Dosch asked how the consultant was chosen, to
which City Administrator Larson responded that multiple companies were asked to apply, they
were interviewed and their work was reviewed. Finance Director,Mr. Meyers visited the sites of
work that the companies interviewed had completed. Council Member Paar stated the City
Council's main focus at this time is the CSAR 14 Memorandum of Understanding and trying to i
get a backage road behind Goetz Landscaping and Northern Forest Products to redirect traffic.
Council is also starting the budget process for 2006, which is time consuming.
Chairperson Smith requested City Administrator Larson and Council Member Paar request City
Council come back to the EDC with some ideas of what they would like the EDC to focus on and
how the committee can help the City Council. The committee will come prepared to the next
scheduled EDC meeting with each member's ideas as to what direction they would like to see the
committee take. Council Member Paar and City Administrator Larson will inquire from council
as to what direction they would like to see EDC take, how does the committee fit in and where
would they be best utilized.

City Administrator Larson gave the committee a brief review on what the Minnesota Capital
Fund is and what it involves. He stated it is revolving fund in which the City invested $50,000
and is basically a loan program for business; it is not a grant program, but more like gap
financing, loans can be generated up to $500,000. At this time Main Street Bank has been
informed of this program, but other ways of making the information known to businesses will
have to be determined.

3. 1601 LaMotte Drive(,Update)
Mr. Larson referred to a memo distributed to the Council regarding the surplus property
south of the water pumping station on Centerville Lake.
Mr. Larson outlined the tentative agreement that the St. Paul Regional Water Services has
indicated they would support to allow for the City of Centerville to purchase the property.
Mr. Larson distributed a report identifying the source of funding for the purchase. He
commented on the legal issues regarding eminent domain, market rates and the re-selling
of the property at some point in the future.
Council Member Paar indicated his concern putting the City's budget in jeopardy and
limits on what the City can do with the property.
Mr. Larson advised the financial scenario that was distributed clearly illustrates that the
City can pay the first and second payments. The third payment would not occur for 2 1/2
years. The worst-case scenario would involve the City selling a portion of the property to
make the third payment.

hopes some of the members of the EDC would help with that.
Mayor Capra stated the Council should review this issue at the beginning of the year.

Re: Eckberg Lammers—Bond CounseUEconomic Development Representation
Dear Mr. Ericson:
Eckberg Lammers is pleased to submit this proposal to the City of Centerville, Minnesota, for bond
counsel and economic development representation. Eckberg Lammers currently represents dozens of
municipalities throughout Minnesota and Wisconsin in municipal bond and economic development
matters,including the cities of Oak Park Heights, Scandia, Glencoe, Sleepy Eye,East Gull Lake,Maple
Plain,Breckenridge, Hudson(WI),and New Richmond(WI). The firm has developed a sizeable breadth
and depth of experience in this important area of city administration, and passes along this knowledge at
highly competitive rates. The firm also serves as general counsel to over a dozen municipalities in the
area, and this representation goes hand-in-hand with its more specialized public finance work.
I lead the firm's public finance practice. I have concentrated my entire career in private practice
representing Minnesota and Wisconsin cities, counties, towns,EDA's, HRA's, and special governmental
entities with the issuance of tax-exempt and taxable governmental bonds,either by public sale or
negotiated private placement, including the following types of general obligation and revenue
transactions available to the City:
• Improvement Bonds(i.e.assessment financing)
• Equipment Certificates/Capital Notes
• Capital Improvement Plan Bonds
• Street Reconstruction Bonds
• Utility Revenue Bonds
• Tax Increment Bonds
• Tax Abatement Bonds
• Temporary Bonds(in anticipation of grants or loans)
• Recreational Facility Bonds
• Lease-Revenue Bonds

The firm is also experienced with more complex, unorthodox financing transactions, such as the
negotiation and execution of inter-governmental loans with the Minnesota Public Facilities Authority and
the United States Department of Agriculture,joint powers financing arrangements,pure revenue
financings, and refinancings of outstanding bonds. We have assisted municipalities with the execution of
conduit financings, which frequently involve the issuance of revenue bonds on behalf of a non-profit or
qualified private entity, with no general obligation pledge from the municipality. We also work with
municipalities in general economic development matters, such as tax increment financing(TIF),tax
abatement, revolving loan funds, and business subsidy agreements. Finally, the firm is expert with
assisting cities in the establishment and implementation of micro-loans using available TIF or economic
development revenues. These loans often provide much-needed gap financing to make a development
proposal work.
On the economic development side, I on behalf of the firm have assisted cities with complex TIF
development agreements, the issuance of General Obligation TIF Bonds(both taxable and tax-exempt),and
the issuance of TIF"pay-as-you-go"Notes,which are typically provided to property developers to
reimburse the developers for initial construction expenses. We have even drafted special legislation to
benefit cities in TIF matters. For example, in 2013 the firm drafted special legislation on behalf of the City
of Glencoe to extend the duration of the city's longstanding redevelopment TIF district,so that the district
could continue to make debt service payments allocated to other districts that had suffered during the
economic slowdown. This piece of legislation was wrapped into the 2013 omnibus tax bill that passed
with only a few minutes left in the legislative session. In another example, in 2012 we assisted the City of
East Bethel in the recruitment of a sizeable manufacturing and industrial business. I helped the city create
its first-ever TIF district,and drafted the development agreement and business subsidy agreement covering
the project. This new development along the Highway 65 corridor will likely spur further development in
East Bethel. The firm has also assisted the City of Bayport's compliance with a TIF audit by the Minnesota
State Auditor, which helped secure a settlement favorable to the City and disposed of issues with the use of
TIF that occurred before the firm represented the City.
I am accustomed to working with a city's administration and finance director, as well as economic
development consultants. The firm enjoys collaborative working relationships with all members of the
municipal finance field,such as financial advisors(i.e.Northland Securities, Springsted, Ehlers),bond
underwriters,trustees, fiscal agents, auditors,and accountants. I am also a member of the League of
Minnesota Cities' Development Task Force,which principally considers ideas for new TIF legislation.
Finally,Eckberg Lammers has years of experience representing EDA's and HRH's, and has worked with
many economic development professionals to leverage the necessary development tools to promote growth.
In 2013,the firm assisted the City of Scandia with the creation of a new EDA,and we have assisted this
entity through its initial stages. As a part of this process,we frequently draft and revise enabling
resolutions and bylaws for EDA clients,which serve as a"roadmap"for the various powers allocated to the
EDA.

Finally,we have first-hand experience working together on public finance matters, first with the City of
Hugo, and secondly in the City of Maple Plain,when you were interim city administrator. The City issued
a complex general obligation bond,with both assessments and utility revenues serving as security for the
repayment of the bond,and we worked through the necessary public processes to complete the bond sale
and closing. I trust you received responsive and high-quality service from the firm in this transaction.
The public finance legal community in Minnesota is a small one, and we are very aware of the fees our
competitors charge. Our fees are therefore highly competitive. When serving as bond counsel,typically a
flat fee is charged. This flat fee varies, depending on the complexity and nature of the transaction.
However,our flat fees are based on hourly representation rates of$170 per hour. This is the same hourly
rate that would govern our representation of the City for economic development matters, such as TIF
proceedings (i.e. TIF Plan review, resolution drafting, etc.),the tax abatement process, development
agreement drafting,etc. We are certainly happy to further discuss our fee process with you and the City
Council to come to an agreement that benefits all parties.
On behalf of the firm,I am excited at the opportunity to represent the City of Centerville,and I look
forward to hearing from you soon regarding this proposal. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Sincerely,
Andrew J. Pratt

Meeting Talking Points
January 21, 2014
► Transferring film and videotape to DVD remains a popular service. In December alone,
nineteen tapes and 116 film reels were transferred. Some of the work is done by staff,
but most people prefer to be taught how to do it themselves using NMTV equipment, for
free. Staff has noticed that many of the films are damaged. Inexpensive equipment is
being put together so that NMTV can also offer a film repair service.
■ The National Sports Center contracted with NMTV for drone aerial service. T.J. Tronson
used the drone to get aerial shots of the additional playing fields that are being developed.
► Studio Manager,Eric Houston,has been working with special needs student,Brett Wong,
to produce a short documentary about a group of young women,also with special needs,
who comprise an award winning adaptive cheerleading squad at Centennial High School.
A big premiere night is being planned at the studio for March 5th. Everyone involved
with the show will be invited along with their families. .
► The process for awarding a competitive cable TV franchise has begun. CenturyLink is
interested in providing wire-line video service in the Member Cities franchise area. A
public notice of the Commission's intent to franchise has been published in the Cities'
papers of record. It will be published a second time. Applications for franchises are due
February 12th,and then the Cable Commission will hold a public hearing at their meeting
on February 18th to consider any applications. After that a competitive franchise can be
negotiated.
► Progress on approval of Comcast's conditional transfer approval and franchise ordinance
amendment was noted. Each City will need to approve the conditional transfer and adopt
a cable television franchise ordinance amendment,by the end of January 2015 if possible,
but by February 13th at the latest. The documents should be sent to Heidi Arnson at the
Commission office as soon as possible after adoption.
► The Commission will be paying off the building as soon as possible. It was slated to be
paid off in 2016,but with the 2015 budget funds currently in the bank and the final
payment in reserves, as required by the loan agent,the funds are available to do so
immediately. There are no penalties for doing so and it will save approximately$6,000
in interest payments.
PLEASE encourage your council members to call me if they have any questions you can't
answer. I would be happy to answer any questions they may have. Heidi Arnson at NMTV.

Franchise Settlement Agreement
Background
The Cable Franchise between Comcast and the City is presently set to expire in November, 2017.
Comcast recently sent correspondence requesting the franchise be renewed. Comcast also
recently filed an application with the North Metro Telecommunications Commission (the
"NMTC")requesting that its franchise be transferred to Midwest Cable. There also remains
pending certain franchise compliance issues and certain needs and interests of the NMTC that
need to be addressed. Mike Bradley, attorney for the NMTC, in consultation with NMTC
leadership,negotiated a Franchise Settlement Agreement with Comcast that addresses several of
these issues. The following are some highlights of the Agreement:
• Cable Franchise to be extended through December 31, 2020. This will allow the NMTC
to avoid the costs of a typically expensive renewal process for another 3 years, allowing it
to focus its resources on its member cities' needs.
• A MOU from 1996 will also be extended through December 31, 2020. The MOU
contains a financial commitment from Comcast for the support of the NMTC. It results
in approximately$800,000 of funding per year.
• In the event the Franchise rolls over past the expiration date, the MOU will do the same.
This helps to ensure the Member Cities that the funding for the NMTC will not end until
a renewed franchise is agreed upon.
• NMTC upon 90 days' notice will receive 1 high definition(HD)channel (replacing a
standard definition (SD) channel) with provisions for channel placement and quality.
NMTC currently has no HD channels. This will give HD subscribers access to NMTC
programming with the best signal quality.
• NMTC will have the option after 12 months to replace an additional SD channel with an
HD channel, giving the NMTC 2 HD channels and 4 SD channels.
• NMTC will have access to the Electronic Programming Guide, which will allow viewers
to view programming information of the NMTC across multiple platforms.
• Comcast will pay NMTC approximately$31,000 for a franchise fee underpayment.
NMTC benefitted from findings by another of Mr. Bradley's clients without having to
expend any additional resources on a financial expert.
• Comcast will provide 3 digital converters to all municipal locations receiving
complementary drops and outlets. Comcast will also provide an additional 30 HD boxes
to be placed at municipal locations at NMTC's discretion. This should cover all of the
outlets at municipal locations currently receiving complementary service.
76
• Small refund of approximately$20,000 total to cable subscribers.
• Payment of legal fees associated with the transfer application.
• Comcast will be relieved of its commitment to provide Universal PEG Service in the
future, but existing Universal PEG Service subscribers will be grandfathered. There are
only 81 such subscribers and Comcast recovers the cost of providing the service out of
the PEG fee currently.
• Consent to the Transfer Application. Comcast has submitted an application requesting
that the NMTC approve a transfer of the Comcast franchise to Midwest Cable. Midwest
Cable will do business as GreatLand. The attached resolution was negotiated with both
Comcast and GreatLand. The resolution lists several contingencies, including the actual
closing of the proposed transaction,receipt of necessary federal approvals, executing a
guaranty of performance and executing a guaranty regarding rates.
Cable Television Franchise Ordinance Amendment
Staff has prepared a Cable Television Franchise Ordinance Amendment for the City. It extends
the existing Cable Television Franchise Ordinance through December 31, 2020 and updates the
PEG channel commitments of Comcast consistent with the Franchise Settlement Agreement. It
also requires Comcast's acceptance.
Staff Recommendation
The Staff Recommendation is to (1) approve the Conditional Transfer Approval Resolution; and
(2) to adopt of the Franchise Amendment Ordinance.

ORDINANCE NO. ##, Second Series
CABLE TELEVISION FRANCHISE ORDINANCE AMENDMENT
The City of Centerville(the"City") ordains as follows:
Section 1. Section 2.4, entitled"Franchise Term"of the City's Cable Television Franchise
Ordinance (Ord. No._�, shall be amended as follows:
4. Franchise Term. Pursuant to the Franchise Settlement Agreement
dated December 17, 2014,this Franchise shall be in effect throu
December 31, 2020
on the E ffeef, e Date eeifiea , coetie, 2 10,unless sooner
renewed,revoked or terminated as herein provided.
Section 2. The following shall be added to the end of Section 6.1.2 of the City's Cable
Television Franchise Ordinance:
Upon 90 days' notice, Grantee will carry one of the PEG channels in a
high definition (HD) format on the cable system such that the City will
continue to have 6 PEG Channels, 5 carried in standard definition and 1
carried in high definition. The City represents that it has or will have
available by that date sufficient local, non-character generated
programming in HD format so as to provide content of value to viewers
and not have a blank channel. Any time after December 16, 2015, Grantee
will carry an additional PEG channel in high definition in the same
manner as the first high definition channel, such that the City will continue
to have 6 PEG Channels, 4 carried in standard definition and 2 carried in
high definition.
Grantee will deliver the high definition signal to subscribers so that it is
viewable without degradation, provided that it is not required to deliver a
HD PEG Channel at a resolution higher than the highest resolution used in
connection with the delivery of local broadcast signals to the public.
Grantee may implement HD carriage of the PEG channel in any manner
(including selection of compression, utilization of IP, amount of system
capacity or bandwidth, and other processing characteristics) that produces
a signal as accessible, functional, useable and of a quality comparable
(meaning indistinguishable to the viewer) to broadcast HD channels
carried on the cable system.
The HD PEG Channel will be assigned a number near the otherhigh
definition local broadcast stations if such channel positions are not already
taken or if that is not ossible near high definition news/public affairs
programming channels if such channel positions are not already taken, or
if not possible, as reasonably close as available channel numbering will
allow.
87
City acknowledges that HD programming may require the viewer to have
special viewer equipment (such as an HDTV and an HD-capable digital
device/receiver),but any subscriber who can view an HD signal delivered
via the cable system at a receiver shall also be able to view the HD PEG
channel at that receiver, without additional charges or equipment. By
agreeing to make PEG available in HD format Grantee is not ajzreeing it
may be required to provide free HD equipment to customers including
complimentary municipal and educational accounts and universal service
accounts, nor modify its equipment or pricing policies in any manner.
City acknowledges that not every customer may be able to view HD PEG
programming (for example, because they don't have an HDTV in their
home or have chosen not to take an HD capable receiving device from
Grantee or other equipment provider) or on every TV in the home.
Grantee will provide a bill message announcing the launch of the HD PEG
channel; however City acknowledges that not all customers may receive
the bill message notice in advance of the channel launch in the interests of
launching the channel sooner.
Grantee will make available to the City the ability_to place PEG channel
programming information on the interactive channel guide by putting the
City in contact with the electronic programing guide vendor ("EPG
provider") that provides the guide service. Grantee will be responsible for
providing the designations and instructions necessary to ensure the
channels will appear on the programming guide throughout the
jurisdictions that are part of the City and any necessary headend costs
associated therewith. The City shall be responsible for providing
programming information to the EPG provider and for any costs the EPG
provider charges to programmers who participate in its service. This
obligation shall not apply to any PEG channels for which there is a
technical impediment to providing_guide listings, for example in the event
a PEG channel is narrowcasted or split among more than one PEG
programmer or source such that not all viewers see the same pro amming
on that channel.
Section 3. This Ordinance shall be effective upon the acceptance of Comcast of Minnesota,
Inc.

City of Centerville
Policy for Remote Meeting Attendance
Purpose: to allow a Centerville Council Member, Commission or Board Member to be
considered in attendance through interactive online media for the purpose of determining a
quorum and participating in all proceedings.
Background: Minnesota Statute 13D.02 allows for meetings to be conducted by interactive
TV under certain conditions. An advisory opinion released in 2012 by the Information
Policy Analysis Division (IPAD) has determined that a city council member can attend and
participate in a meeting from a remote location using Skype, if the requirements of the State
Statute have been met.
Policy: A member of the Council, Commission, or Board will be considered present at a
meeting from a remote location using Skype, or similar interactive media, if the following
requirements have been met:
1. All members of the body participating in the meeting, wherever their physical
location, can hear and see one another and hear and see all discussion and testimony
presented at any location at which at least one member is present.
2. Members of the public present at the regular meeting location of the body can hear
and see all discussion and testimony and all votes of members of the body. Public
comment will only be allowed at the regular meeting location.
3. At least a quorum of the body is physically present at the regular meeting location.
4. The Presiding Officer must be present at the regular meeting location.
5. Each location at which a member of the body is present is open and accessible to
the public.
6. Notice of the meeting shall be provided at each of the locations where a member is
participating. The timing and method of providing notice depends on whether the
meeting is regular, special, or emergency. For the purpose of remote attendance of
regular meeting,the meeting will be considered a special meeting, which is any
meeting at a time or place different from that stated in the Council's schedule of

Re:Sheehy,backage road special assessment litigation.
I want to comment on the recent outcome of the most recent Sheehy appeal;re:"assessment of
interest".As you know Sheehy won,the City lost;again,for the'third time.This is the outcome I
predicted.
At the April 9,2014 Council Meeting;Mr.Julliar,of Sheehy,told you that you would lose again.Ms.Julia
Douglass,Sheehy's Attorney,explained in easily understood language what would happen,and that you
would lose,again.i was at that meeting and I told you not to proceed with any further litigation,as it
was too costly and that we had already spent about$100,000 on this matter.You were certainly aware
of the fact the City had already paid Sheehy(in 2012)$56,831 for their attorney costs.
After very little discussion all five of you voted to proceed with the litigation;which you did and the City
lost,again.And the City will be paying Sheehy's attorney costs,again.I can only guess as to that amount.
Perhaps you already know what that amount will be.
In my estimation,the City will have paid about$140,000 in total legal fees for this misadventure.
Sheehy's attorneys and City attorney Glaser are benefitting.The citizens of Centerville are not.
Think of the good we could have done with that money.We could have fixed the"colored concrete"
failure on Main Street.The cost estimate for that work is about$80,000.
I understand the upcoming"mill and overlay"project will cost the affected properties$SW/each
property.Therefore 280 properties could have benefited from a"mill and overlay"at no cost to them.
Or,the City could simply have paid down debt and reduced taxes.
Whatever you plan next should be based on"common sense"and sound legal advice.I believe those
aspects have been missing.
