I. CALL TO ORDER
Mayor Capra called the May 14,2008, City Council Work Session to order at 6:30 p.m.
Mayor Capra announced that, because there was already a Public Hearing, there will be
no input from the audience during this meeting. However, they can submit their
suggestions in writing.
II. ITEMS FOR DISCUSSION
1. Resident Input from 2009 Street Project Public Hearing (5/1/08)
City Attorney Glaser stated that he prepared a couple options to give the Council looks at
different scales of the project.
Mayor Capra inquired whether there were any questions for the engineer.
Councilmember Parr asked whether the project was mostly for the water, as the Sumack
Court and Ivy Court area roads themselves are not in that bad of shape.
City Engineer Statz replied that those roads, as well as Center Street, would not need
reconstruction.
City Engineer Statz went on to discuss various options to find the least invasive one and
the one that would cause the least disruption to traffic.
Discussions ensued regarding collector street policies, ways to avoid disruptions, and
whether there would be maintenance within this system.
City of Centerville
City Council Work Session Minutes
May 14,2008
Mayor Capra stated that the projects delayed from 2004 should definitely be completed.
Councilmember Lakso inquired about what would need to be done with the storm sewers.
City Engineer Statz replied that it would not be worthwhile to do the storm sewers if they
are not doing the road itself - except for the ones in bad shape.
Councilmember Broussard-Vickers stated that forcing hook up to the water main was her
biggest issue going forth. She stated that, since the water system is working and we have
enough loops, it would not compromise the system if we do not continue to expand it.
Discussion ensued regarding the cost savings of doing the reconstruction without putting
in the water line; however, the residents would have to bear 100% of the costs later.
Councilmember Parr suggested that, if it was a full reconstruct, the water line should be
put in. If a reconstruct was not needed, the water line would not be put in.
Mayor Capra stated that the optimum time to put the water line in is when they had
development going in, as the road would already be opened up. She added that they have
to have a date in the Ordinance. She could call a motion to rescind that date or push the
date out further.
Councilmember Lee asked City Administrator Larson for a spreadsheet, showing the
costs for commercial and residential water. He stated that our water usage fee is not
adequate, and there is no way to enforce it unless we have a drop-dead date.
Councilmember Parr stated that residents are putting wells where they should not be
placed.
City Engineer Statz showed some slides, explaining different cost options - between
doing nothing to the full project.
Discussion ensued regarding only doing mill and overlay in some areas vs. a full
reconstruct.
Mayor Capra stated that they would have another Work Session to discuss trails and
sidewalks next Wednesday, May 21.
City Attorney Glaser stated that anyone who wants to challenge the assessment can come
to the meeting or do it in writing without an attorney. He added that the burden of proof
would be on them to prove the assessment is not correct.
III. ADJOURNMENT
Mayor Capra adjourned the City Council Work Session Meeting at 7:45 p.m.

To: The City Councils of Centerville, Circle Pines and Lino Lakes
From City Administrators: Jim Keineth, Circle Pines
Dallas Larson, Centerville
Gordon Heitke, Lino Lakes
As you all know, Milo Bennett will be retiring as fire chief at the end of
August. The administrators are pleased to report that a long and methodical
process of identifying and selecting a new fire chief has been completed.
The process of finding a replacement began in January, 2008, as the Fire
Steering Committee identified goals and priorities to guide the process,
including a directive to bring three fmalists to them for consideration. After
a nationwide solicitation, 31 applications were received. Those applications
were scored and eleven preliminary interviews were conducted to reach
three finalists. The three finalists were sent through an arduous management
analysis conduced by an independent firm who predicted that all three would
be successful in the position. The Steering Committee interviewed the three
finalists and made a selection. That candidate underwent a detailed
background check and the administrators negotiated terms and conditions for
employment which have been accepted by the candidate.
On May 21, 2001, the Steering Committee met and approved a
recommendation to the City Councils that Jerry Streich be employed in the
position of Fire Chief, beginning August 1,2008. Jerry lives in Anoka and
comes with substantial experience as Fire Marshall and Assistant chief with
the city of Ramsey and almost twenty years experience in the fire service.
The Joint Powers Agreement between the three cities requires that the city
councils must approve the selection of fire chief. We ask that the
recommendation of the Steering Committee be ratified by City Council
action approving that Jerry Streich be employed as fire chief beginning
August 1,2008.

Committee. The purpose of these Committees is advisory and they may make recommendations to the
City Council for consideration regarding matters relating to this Committee.
(B) For the purpose of this chapter, the terms Commission and Committee are used
interchangeably. Policy refers to Commissioners and Committee Members alike.
(Ord. 72, passed 12-19-2002. amended ##/##/####)
~ 31.02 BYLAWS FOR COMMITTEES.
(A) Authority. The Committee has the authority to conduct investigations and to make
recommendations; however, it may not make decisions on behalf of the Council. Committees are
subject to the same rules as the City Council under the open meeting laws. The Council's final
decision, however, and not the Committee's recommendation, binds the city. The Committee may not
enter into a contract, employ workers or authorize expenditures.
(B) Eligibility.
(1) Any resident of the city is eligible to apply as a Committee Member. This individual is
welcome to serve on one committee at a time.
1.____________ __________
(C) Appointments.
Deleted: , an Economic Development
Committee for the purpose of promoting
economic development
- Deleted:.. (2) . Additionally, the
Economic Development Committee
(EDC) may recommend to COIUlcil the
appointment of business owners or
principals to the Committee who are not
residents but own businesses within the
city.~
"
(1) Each member of the Committee will be appointed by the City Council via a letter of
interest submitted to the City Administrator. This letter will be received by the City Administrator no
later than November 1 of each year. This same action will take place if a vacancy should happen. On
an annual basis, the City Administrator would ascertain those who desire to remain on the Committee.
(2) Seven members shall be appointed to each City Committee.
(D) Appointment of officers. At the first meeting of the year, the Committee will appoint by
majority vote a Chair and a Vice-Chair.
(E) Officers' duties.
(1) (a) The Chairperson shall preserve order, enforce the rules of procedure herein
prescribed and determined without debate, subject to the fmal decision of the Commission/Committee
on appeal, all questions of procedure and order. The Chairperson will also give leadership; sign reports;
write correspondence to be signed by either the City Administrator or the Mayor; compile or assist in
the preparation of the agenda as authorized by the Committee; and appoint task forces as authorized by
the City Council.
(b) The Vice-Chairperson shall support and assist the Chairperson; preside over the
Committee meetings in the absence of the Chairperson; and fill the office of the Chairperson if a
vacancy should arise.
(2) Any Committee Member may appeal a decision of the Chair. To do this, a Committee
Member states, "I appeal the decision of the Chair," immediately after the Chair announces the
decision. Recognition from the Chair is not necessary when making an appeal. The appeal must be
seconded, is debatable and cannot be amended. After the debate, the Committee votes on the Chair's
decision. A majority of "yes" votes upholds the decision of the Chair and a majority of "no" votes
overrule the decision. A tie vote sustains the ruling. The Chair may vote to uphold his or her own
ruling. Ifno one appeals a ruling as soon as the Chair makes it, it becomes the rule of the Committee.
(F) Meetings.
(1) Regular meetings. Regular meetings of the Committee shall be held on the same day of
each calendar month at the same time, set by the Committee and approved by the Council. Any regular
meeting falling upon a holiday shall be rescheduled by the Committee for an alternative date, with
enough time to be properly noticed to the public. The Administrator shall maintain a schedule of
regular meetings. This schedule shall be available for public inspection during regular business hours
at the Administrator's office. All meetings, including special emergency meetings, shall be held at
City Hall unless otherwise specifically noticed.
(2) Special meetings. Any three members of the Committee may call a special meeting of the
Committee upon at least 72 hours' written notice to each member of the Committee and Administrator.
This notice shall be delivered personally to each member, or left at the member's place of residence.
Similar written notice shall be mailed at least three days prior to the meeting date to those who have
requested notice of special meetings. This request must be in writing and filed with the Administrator,
designating an official address where notice may be mailed. The request will be valid for one year.
(3) Emergency meetings.
(a) Any three members of the Committee may call an emergency meeting of the
Committee when circumstances require the immediate consideration of the Committee.
(b) Notice may be in writing personally delivered to Committee members or may be in
the form of personal telephone communication. Notice must include the date, time, place and purpose
of the meeting. Where practical, the Administrator shall make an effort to contact news-gathering
organizations that have filed a request to receive notice of special meetings.
(G) Public notice and open meeting.
(I) Public notice. The Administrator must post written notice of the date, time, place and
purpose of the meeting on the City Hall bulletin board. Notice of meetings must be posted at least
three days before the date of the meeting.
( a) When the performance of an act is ordered within a fixed period of time, the time is
computed as excluding the first day and including the last day of the prescribed or fixed time period,
unless the last day falls on a Saturday, Sunday or legal holiday. For example, if a meeting is scheduled
for a Thursday, notice has to be given on Monday to meet the three-day notice provision. In this
scenario, Tuesday is day one, Wednesday is day two and Thursday is day three. Monday is not
included in the time computation. Similarly, if a special meeting is planned for Monday, notice must
be given on Friday; Saturday and Sunday are included in the time computation since they are not the
last day of the fixed period.
(b) If the Committee meets where a quorum is in attendance, the city must make public
notice.
(2) Open meeting law. Under the Minnesota Open Meeting Law, all city committee
meetings must be open to the public.
(a) The open meeting law serves three vital purposes:
I. To prohibit actions from being taken at a secret meeting where the interested
public cannot be fully informed of the decisions of public bodies or detect improper influences;
2. To ensure the public's right to be informed; and
3. To give the public an opportunity to present its views.
(b) The law prohibits the use of telephone conversations, e-mail or letters in a decision-
making process among a quorum of members designed to avoid an open meeting.
(c) Any person who intentionally violates the open meeting law is subject to personal
liability in the form of a civil penalty. The public body may not pay the penalty.
(H) Minutes. The Committee must keep a full and accurate record of its actions at every
Committee meeting. The Administrator records the Committee proceedings in a minute book. In the
absence of the city staff member to take the minutes, the Committee should delegate the duty of taking
minutes for that meeting.
(1) The minutes should be written in language and in terms the average citizen understands.
(2) If the Committee fmds a mistake in the minutes of the previous meeting, the minutes will
be corrected during the current meeting and reflected in the minutes.
(3) Once the Committee has formally approved the minutes of any meeting, the minutes
should not be changed under any circumstances.
(4) Minutes are official papers of the city. Minute books are public records, shall be kept on
file with the Administrator and must be available for public view at any reasonable time.
(5) The following information should be included in the minutes:
(a) The time and place of the meeting;
(b) The members present;
(c) A summary of all decisions made by the Committee, including a copy of each motion
exactly as stated, whether or not the motion had a second and, if the motion was seconded, whether or
not the Committee adopted it, and the names of the people who made and seconded the motion; and
(d) The names of the Committee Member who voted either for or against each motion.
(I) Order of business. Each meeting of the Committee shall convene at the time and place
appointed.
(1) Committee business shall be conducted in the following order:
(a) Call to order;
(b) Approval of agenda;
(c) Awards/presentations/appearances;
(d) Public hearings;
(e) Committee business;
(f) Consent agenda;
(g) Approval of Committee minutes;
(h) Announcements/updates; and
(i) Adjournment.
(2) The order of business may be varied by the presiding officer, but all public hearings shall
be held at the time specified in the notice of the hearing.
(3) The Chairperson/staff liaison shall prepare an agenda of business for each regular
Committee meeting and file a copy in the office of the Administrator. The agenda shall be prepared in
accordance with the order of business and copies shall be delivered to each Committee member and to
others as far in advance ofthe meeting as time for preparation will permit. No item of business shall be
considered unless it appears on the agenda for the meeting or is approved for addition to the agenda by
majority vote of the Committee present.
(4) (a) The Chairperson/staff liaison shall see that at least one copy of printed materials
relating to agenda items is available to the public in the meeting room while the Committee considers
the subject matter.
(b) The agenda item shall not be considered unless this provision is complied with.
(c) This section does not apply to those materials that are classified as other than public
under the Minnesota Data Practices Act or materials from closed meetings.
(1) Motions.
(1) Generally. The Committee transacts business through motions made by Committee
Members. These motions are seconded, and subsequently passed or rejected by Committee vote.
(a) The Committee Member states his or her motion (usually in the following form: "I
move. . . [text of the motion]"). The Committee Member making a motion does not need to favor it or
vote for it. The Committee Member may wish to put the issue before the Committee so a decision can
be made.
(b) Another Committee Member then seconds the motion by saying: "I second the
motion."
(c) The Chair recognizes the motion and opens the pending motion to discussion. The
presiding officer calls for the vote at the end of the discussions and announces the result of the vote.
(2) Motion to reconsider. This motion enables a Committee to set aside a vote it previously
took, and to reconsider the matter as though it had not voted on the issue. Only a person who originally
voted on the prevailing side may move to reconsider. Make the motion by saying, "I move to
reconsider. . . [stating the motion to be reconsidered]." The Committee may debate the motion. If the
Committee passes the motion to reconsider, it must then reconsider the original motion and take
another vote. Ifthe Committee defeats a motion to reconsider, no further action is necessary.
(3) Motion to postpone indefinitely. There is an important difference between the motion to
postpone indefinitely and the motion to postpone temporarily. The motion to postpone temporarily is
more commonly called a motion to "lay on the table" or "to table." The motion to postpone postpones
consideration of the motion until some undetermined, future time. The Committee may consider a
tabled motion whenever a majority of the members decide to do so. A motion to postpone indefinitely,
however, is the equivalent to a negative vote on the main motion. Thus, the issue can be raised again
only by a motion made by someone on the prevailing side of the vote since, unless someone changes
his or her mind, the motion to postpone will once again prevail.
(4) Motion to limit debate. A Committee may limit debate by placing a time limit on debate,
such as a limit of three minutes to consider a particular motion; or limiting the number of people who
may speak for and against a certain motion, such as a limit of three speakers in favor and three speakers
opposed.
(5) Motion to amend. Committee Members may offer amendments to a main motion at any
time. In addition, it is possible to amend an amendment currently under consideration. Beyond this,
Committee Members can offer no further amendments. When a member has made a motion to amend,
the vote on the amendment must precede the vote on the original motion. After the Committee has
accepted or rejected the amendment, another vote on the original motion is necessary.
(6) Motion to substitute. This is a motion to replace one motion with another on the same
subject. A Committee Member may move to substitute a main motion or an amendment to a main
motion. One form for making a substitute motion is to say, "I wish to introduce the following
substitute motion . . . [present the substitute motion]." When a substitute motion is before the
Committee, the Committee must decide which of the two motions, the original motion or the substitute
motion, to consider. The Committee must vote on the question. A "yes" vote favors considering the
substitute motion. A "no" vote favors considering the original motion. The Committee must then
discuss and vote on the selected motion.
(K) Quorum. At all Committee meetings, a majority of the appointed members shall constitute a
quorum for the transaction of business, but a smaller number may adjourn from time to time.
(L) Voting. The votes of the members on any questions may be taken in any manner which
signifies the intention of the individual members, and the votes of the members on any action taken
shall be recorded in the minutes. Any member that is present but does not vote, the minutes as to that
member's name shall be recorded as an abstention.
(M) Council liaison. The Committee may request from the Council a liaison to attend their
meetings. Council may elect to appoint a Council Liaison to the Committee. The liaison will act as a

facilities and other private sewer system works shall be installed and maintained in good operating
condition at the user's sole expense.
(3) Industrial discharge permits. All significant industrial users, or other industrial users
which may have a significant effect as determined by the city, proposing to connect or to commence a
new discharge to the wastewater disposal system shall obtain a wastewater discharge permit before
connecting to or discharging into the wastewater system. All existing significant industrial users or
industrial users subject to federal pretreatment standards under ~ 307 (b) and (c) of the Act connected
to or discharging into the wastewater disposal system shall obtain a wastewater discharge permit within
90 days after the effective date of this section. The permits may limit the discharges by volume or
wastewater constituents and may require pretreatment before discharge into the city system. Industrial
users requesting connection to the disposal system shall complete and file with the city an application
in the form prescribed by the city.
(4) Industrial user reports. The city may require that any industrial user discharging or
proposing to discharge wastewater into the wastewater disposal system file a periodic discharge report.
The discharge report may include, but not be limited to, nature of process, rates of flow, mass discharge
rate, production quantities, hours of operation, compliance status with any state or federal pretreatment
standards or other information which relates to the generation of waste, including wastewater
constituents and characteristics in the wastewater discharge.
(5) Monitoring requirements and facilities. Monitoring facilities to allow inspection,
sampling and flow measurement of the building sewer and/or internal drainage systems shall be
provided and operated by all significant industrial users or other industrial users which may have a
significant effect as determined by the city. The monitoring facilities shall be situated on the user's
premises. There shall be ample room in or near the sampling manhole or facility to allow accurate
sampling and compositing of samples for analysis. The facility, sampling and measuring equipment
shall be maintained at all times in a safe and proper operating condition at the expense of the user.
(6) Inspection ofuser'sfacilities.
(a) The city may inspect the facilities of any user to ascertain whether the purpose of this
section is being met and all requirements are being complied with. Persons or occupants of premises
where wastewater is created or discharged shall allow the city ready access at all reasonable times to all
parts of the premises for the purposes of inspection, observation, measurement, sampling, testing,
record examination or in the performance of any of their duties, with the restriction that the city does
not interfere with the user's operation. The city, Metro Sewer Board, MPCA and EPA shall have the
right to set up on the user's property such devices as are necessary to conduct sampling, inspection,
compliance monitoring and/or metering operations. Where a user has security measures in force which
would require proper identification and clearance before entry into their premises, the user shall make
necessary arrangements with any security guards so that upon presentation of suitable identification,
the city, MPCA and EPA will be permitted to enter, without delay, for the purposes of performing their
specific responsibilities.
(b) The city shall have no authority to inquire into any industrial processes beyond that
point in the process having a direct bearing on the kind and source of discharge to the sewers or

~ 51.11 RULES AND REGULATIONS RELATING TO STORMWATER DRAINAGE
UTILITY.
(A) Statutory authority. M.S. ~ 444.075 ("the Act") authorizes cities to impose just and
reasonable charges for the use and availability of storm sewer facilities ("charges"). By this chapter,
the city elects to exercise such authority.
(B) Findings and purpose. In providing for such charges, the following findings and
determinations are made.
(I) In the exercise of its governmental authority and in order to promote the public health,
safety, convenience and general welfare, the city has constructed, operated and maintained a storm
sewer system (the "system"). This chapter is adopted in the further exercise of that authority.
(2) The system, as constructed, heretofore has been financed and paid for through the
imposition of special assessments and ad valorem taxes. The financing methods were appropriate to
the circumstances at the time they were used. It is now necessary and desirable to provide an
alternative method of recovering some or all of the future costs of operating, maintaining and
improving the system through the imposition of charges as provided in this section.
(3) In imposing charges, it is necessary to establish a methodology that undertakes to make
them just and equitable. Taking into account the status of completion of the system, past methods of
recovering system costs, and other relevant factors, it is determined that it would be just and equitable
to assign responsibility for some or all ofthe future costs of operating, maintaining and improving the
system on the basis of the expected storm water runoff from the various parcels of land within the city.
(4) Assigning costs and making charges based upon expected typical storm sewer runoff
cannot be done with mathematical precision but can only be accomplished within reasonable and
practical limits based upon use.
(C) System established. A city storm sewer system utility is hereby established. The system
consists of all storm sewer conduits, manholes and catch basins, ditches and ponds within the public
right-of-way and storm sewer conduits, manholes and catch basins in public purpose easements as
pursuant to the Stormwater Drainage Master Plan 1ll!4 ~!orl!l~_a!e! Xoll!l!i()Jl ]>~eyellti(m_ J>laIl }l~d _a~y _1- - {Deleted: (May 1990)

(Ord. 56, passed 1-22-1992)(Amended ##/##/200#)
(D) Use of revenues. All funds obtained from collection of annual and development stormwater
drainage system charges shall be deposited in a Stormwater Drainage Utility System Fund and used for
payment of costs incurred in maintenance and operation of the city's stormwater drainage system.
(Ord. 56, passed 1-22-1992; Am. Ord. passed 10-27-1993)
(E) Mutual Aid. The City will charge other governmental agencies for development. maintenance
and operation of storm water drainage systems which serve roads. bridges. trails. buildings. structures.
real property or impervious surfaces constructed or owned by other governmental agencies. Other
governmental agencies can include but are not limited to other Cities. Counties. State or Federal
governments. or divisions or combinations thereof. Unless otherwise authorized by the City Council.
other governmental agencies will be charged fees equal to the percentage which their appurtenances
contribute storm water to the City's storm water drainage system. These fees will be calculated by the
City Engineer and/or in accordance with the Stormwater Drainage Master Plan or Stormwater Pollution
Prevention Plan. These calculations will be subiect to annual review by the City. Fees will be set by the
City's annual fee schedule.
