Council Work Session Meeting Minutes
Mr. Jim Dvorak, SRF Consulting Group, Inc., stated that 99% of the plans for the project
are complete; however, slight modifications may occur subsequent to meetings with
individual property owners and business owners. Mr. Dvorak stated that the Federal
Environmental documents are 60 - 70% complete and it is anticipated that they will be
completed by March 1, 2005.
Mr. Fischer stated that a large amount of discussions have been held regarding 21st
Avenue and that no definite decisions would be made other than the presented % turn
intersection until decisions have been made regarding the 3SE interchange.
Council Member Lee questioned Mr. Fischer as to the requirements needed to secure a
full intersection at 21st Avenue. Mr. Fischer stated that it is still unclear as to whether it
could ever have a full intersection and it was dependent upon the 3SE intersection, traffic
patterns and predominant traffic movements. Mayor Capra questioned whether 21st
Avenue could be utilized for 3SE ramp entrances or exits. Mr. Fischer stated that ramp
entrances and exits are not allowed to flow directly onto City streets. Council Member
Lee stated that the 21st Avenue intersection is extremely important to the City and
potentially the City could lose some businesses. Mr. Fischer stated that the County
desired for the City not to lose any businesses and stated that there was a need for other
roadways to support same. Mayor Capra questioned whether the County desired for the
City to install these or who. Mr. Fischer stated that at some point the property would
develop and that these developments would then be required like any other development
to provide roads to support their developments.
Mr. Fischer stated that the City ofLino Lakes is satisfied with the proposed intersection
at 21st Avenue. Mayor Capra commented that the City of Lino Lakes would likely
develop/construct 21st Avenue through their community. Mayor Capra questioned the
length of construction for 201h Avenue that the County would be proposing. Mr. Fischer
responded by stating only to the Willow Glenn project and developers or the Highway
Department would be responsible for the remainder.
Mr. Lee L' Allier, 1973 Main Street, commented that the proposals from Anoka County
promote poor traffic patterns, road congestion and is bad for local businesses.
Mr. Fischer stated that it will be a dramatic change for residents and business owners and
that the County is currently meeting with individual businesses owners near the 21st
Avenue intersection. Mayor Capra stated that she felt the County was trading one (1)
hazard for two (2) hazards with the proposed 201h Avenue and Main Street intersection
and Otter Lake Road and Main Street intersection. Mr. Fischer stated that "u" turns do
not pose unsafe conditions and especially with dedicated left turn arrows as proposed.
Mr. Fischer stated that Goetz Landscaping and Northern Forest Products are looking into
alternatives for semi-truck traffic/deliveries and they would be the largest impacted
businesses along Main Street, other than Comer Express. Mr. Fischer explained that the
delivery trucks would encounter difficulty arriving at the businesses but not leaving the
businesses. Mr. Fischer stated that many other communities have encountered projects

City ofCenterville
January 26, 200S
Council Work Session Meeting Minutes
similar to this one and it has not devastated the business community. Council Member
Paar stated that Centerville is no longer a small town.
Council Member Capra questioned whether the County would purchase the homes on the
north side of Main Street near the 20th Avenue intersection. Mr. Fischer stated that
acquisition of these homes would increase the project by approximately 1 million dollars.
Mr. Fischer stated that the City could explore alternative options through the
Metropolitan Councilor similar organizations but same would be a separate project for
the City.
Discussion was had regarding the speed limits proposed with the widening project. Mr.
Fischer explained that if a speed study is completed and the results represent a higher
speed the County would be required to follow the allowable speeds for the roadway.
Council may consider not requesting one at this time but could request a study
subsequent to the roadway completion. Mr. Robjent also suggested a speed study
following the project. Council Member Lee stated that he felt that a study would increase
the speed limit for the roadway. Mr. Fischer stated that 85% of the traffic on a normal
roadway speed, and this may increase the speeds if a study is completed.
Mayor Capra whether sidewalks would be placed on the north side ofCSAH 14 beyond
20tli Avenue. Mr. Fischer stated that when property develops, sidewalks will follow.
Discussion ensued regarding the Memorandum of Understanding and its timeline. Mr.
Fischer stated that once the document is signed the County can commence acquisition of
property, shows a commitment between the City and the County regarding the design of
the project and more accurate cost estimates will be derived. Mayor Capra stated that the
County would need to take into consideration any upgrades that would be forthcoming
from the City. Mayor Capra questioned the purchases of property and homes. Mr. Jim
Dvorak stated that homes would be total buyouts and would only be in the downtown
area of Centerville. Mayor Capra stated that discussions were being held with Comer
Express and Mr. Fischer concurred.
Mayor Capra stated that she understood that 21st Avenue was a work in process and she
desired to know right-of-way and home acquisitions prior to signing the Memorandum of
Understanding. Discussion ensued regarding a grant for, its deadline of July and the
willingness of the County to work cooperatively on same. Mr. Fischer stated that the
City would need to expend the monies and then be reimbursed at a later date because the
funds would not be available until 2009.
Council Member Lee questioned the Memorandum of Understanding and the timeline for
buyouts. Mr. Fischer stated that the Memorandum of Understanding needed to be
completed along with the Environmental Study and felt that same would be completed by
the end of March. Mr. Fischer stated that the information provided at this evening's
meeting would be provided on their web site.

stated that Commissioner Sivarajah desired to participate in this evenings meeting;
however, she had a scheduling conflict.
Mayor Capra thanked Mr. Fischer, Mr. Robjent and Mr. Dvorak for their attendance and
presentation. Mr. Dvorak presented Council with several handouts. Council Member
Lee questioned how long the construction process would take. Mr. Fischer stated that it
would take approximately 8-10 months near George Watch Lake due to the condition of
the lake and soils being mucky. Mr. Fischer stated that the project would be staged
through town to assist residents and traffic flow. Mr. Fischer also stated that other
projects are happening at the same time and coordination with other road closures and
construction activity would need to be taken into consideration for commuters.

Mayor Capra introduced Mr. Grochala and Mr. Smyser. Mr. Smyser presented copies of
the Power Point presentation that was discussed with COtillcil. Mr. Smyser stated that
Alternative Urban Areawide Review (AUAR) is an enviromnental review and its
importance of being a part of local planning and development. Mr. Smyser explained
that the AUAR is reviewing development areas for a much larger geographic area rather
than by project and its possible impacts of a much larger area than just a development
project. Both Mr. Grochala and Mr. Smyser explained that the AUAR project contains
and addresses natural resource conservation and if mitigation elements are needed they
are implemented prior to the application process and eliminates significant enviromnental
impacts. It was felt that four (4) areas would be studied and the east quadrant of
Centerville, Industrial District along 20th Avenue would be included in the study areas at
no cost to the City of Centerville. Mr. Smyser stated that it is very important for the
communities to communicate due to its benefits for both communities. Mr. Smyser
reported that employees from both Centerville and Hugo are participating in regular
meetings in attempts to forward information to Councils for their input and review. Mr.
Smyser also stated that members of committees/commissions have also been participating
in the process.
Mr. Smyser and Mr. Grochala stated that numerous work sessions/public meetings have
and will continue to be held so that there are no concerns regarding decisions being made

sewer capacity constraints. Additional organizations will be included in the background
research such as the Metropolitan Council. Additional research will be completed in
regards to archeological, historic, architectural and existing/future traffic patterns. Mr.

developments, known property owner's plans and market analysis would also be taken
into consideration as it relates to the AUAR.

stated that everything east of 201h Avenue within the City of Centerville is being
considered for inclusion in the project. Council Member Broussard questioned when all
documents would be completed. Mr. Smyser stated within a year. Council Member

could potentially affect the AUAR project. Mr. Grochala stated that some of the study
areas are known to develop and how and others they are anticipating its development.
Mr. Grochala stated that the interchange configuration does not affect the AUAR at this
time. However, they will contain strategies for the long term.

contractor to look into the Forest Lake interceptor and they are considering upgrading the
existing system. These same contractors will be researching Centerville's existing
interceptor and potentially upgrading same.
Council Member Lee questioned whether the City decides to participate in this project
would a moratorium be placed and no development could take place within the two (2)
month period. Both Mr. Smyser and Mr. Grochala concurred.
Parks and Recreation Chairperson Peterson brought up the fact that Centerville has very
limited space for potential development and would they or would there be a potential to
recolll1l1end all of the available area to contain all of the other cities storm water? Mr.
Smyser stated that the City of Centervil1e would not have all the storm water. Mr.
Grochala stated that the anticipated projects/developments or scenarios would follow
Rice Creek Watershed District's standards. Mr. Smyser stated that the City of Lino.
Lakes is getting started on rainwater gardens rather than man-made storm water
drainage/ponds which are much more environmentally friendly. Mr. Smyser also stated
that the water quality of Clearwater Creek is extremely important.
Planning and Zoning Commissioner Jennefer Klennert Hunt questioned whether the City
of Lino Lakes has completed any similar projects like this before. Both Mr. Grochala
and Mr. Smyser stated that several other communities have, however the City of Lino
Lakes has not.
Finance Director Meyer questioned the funding. Mr. Grochala stated that the cost of the
project is approximately $300,000. There would be no cost to the City of Centerville,
however, all communities needed to work together and the City of Lino Lakes can not
assess the City of Centerville.

on their project.

Subject: Draft Construction Site Runoff Control Ordinance
Teresa and Paul,
Here is the draft Construction Site Runoff Control Ordinance #79. As mentioned in our previous meeting,
we should revise Ordinance #4 Zoning Ordinance (Division 150) and Ordinance #8 (38.01-2) to
reference the requirements of this ordinance. Feel free to forward my contact information to the City
Attorney if needed.
For enforcement and penalties, I included a financial security. However,l did not provide the amount.
There are plenty of examples from other communities which could be either written into the ordinance or
referenced. In the example ordinance produced by the MPCA, a $3000/acre security is suggested. I
would suggest something smaller ($1000/acre) with a maximum amount of $10,000 or more for large
subdivisions over 10 acres. In the attached Draft Ordinance (79.08.D),1 referenced the "current City fee
and security structure". If you think it's more appropriate to include the exact numbers in the ordinance,
just let me know and I'll make the necessary changes. If needed, I'm available on Friday (2118) all day
and Tuesday (2122) in the morning to discuss any questions or comments.

beneficial uses of environmental resources and hindering the ability of the City of
Centerville to provide adequate water, sewage, flood control and other community
servtces.
79.04 PuJ:pose. The purpose of the ordinllnce isto promote, preserve and enhance
the natural resources .within tile. City of Cent~l1e and protect them from adverse
effects occasioned by Poorly sited development or incompatible activities by regulating
land disturbing activities that would have an adverse and potentially irreversible impact
on water quality and enviromnentl11ly sensitive land; by minimizing conflicts and
encouraging proper insta11atio~ and maintenance of best management practices (BMPs)
for land disturbing activities; a.nd by requiring detailed review standards and procedures
for land disturbing activities proposed for such areas, thereby achieving a balance
between development, fedevelopment, and protection of water quality and natural areas.

79.09 Minimum Construction Site Best Management Practices
A. No storm water pollution prevention plan which fails to meet the standards
contained in this section shall be approved by the City Council or designated
representative.
B. Site d~watering. Water pumPed from the site shall be treated by temporary
sedirnentationbllsins,grit chambers' SlUld filtet1l, uptlow chambers,
hydrocyclones; swirlcoIlcentrators ~r other appropriate controls as appropriate.
Water ma~ not be discharged in a manner that causes erosion, scour, or flooding
of the site or receiving. channels or a wetland.
C. Construction Site Waste.
1.) Solid Waste: Collected sediment, asphalt and concrete millings, floating
debris, paper, plastic, fabric, construction and demolition debris and other
wastes must be disposed of properly and must comply with MPCA
disposal requirements.
2.) Hazardous Materials: Oil, gasoline, paint and any hazardous substances
must be properly stored, including secondary containment, to prevent
spill, leaks or other discharge. Restricted access to storage areas must be
provided to prevent vandalism. Storage and disposal of hazardous waste
must be in compliance with MPCA regulations.
3.) Liquid waste: All other non storm water discharges (concrete truck
washout, vehicle washing, maintenance spills, etc.) conducted during the
construction activity shall not be discharged to the municipal storm
sewer, wetlands, natural drainageways, or waters of the state.
-I
D. Tracking. Vehicle tracking of sediment onto paved surfaces must be
removed by street sweeping as needed to prevent discharge of sediment laden
water from entering the City storm sewer system.
E. Drain inlet protection. All storm drain inlets shall be protected during
construction until final establishment has been accomplished or until approval
from the City.
F. Site erosion control. The following criteria (I through 4) apply only to
construction activities that result in storm water leaving the site.
1.) Channelized runoff from adjacent areas passing through the site shall be
diverted around disturbed areas, if practicaI.Ot~erffise, the channel shall
be protected as described below. Sheett1?w~off1Tom adjacent areas
greater than 10,000 square feet in areas~ll also bediverted around
disturbed areas, unless shown to have resl.lIted runofi'rates ofless than
0.5 ftJsec. across the disturbt:p area fo~the one yearstorage. Diverted
runoff shall be conveyed in a.manner thatv,nll not cause erosion, scour,
or flooding of the conveyance at receiving channels.
... 0"
2.) All activities on the site shall be conducted in a logical sequence to
minimize the area of bare soil exposed at anyone time.
'.-.... ....,
3.) Runoff from the entire disturbed area on the site shall be controlled by
meetmg either subsections a. and b. or a. and c.
H
a.iAlI e""os!l<lsoil atea~ with a continuous positive slope within 200
li~~~ ~ of a.surfa~Y1ater, must have temporary erosion protection or
P~~nt cove,r forthe exposed soil areas year round, according to the
foll()wing table Of slopes and time frames:
Tvoe of slope
Steeper than 3:1
10:1 to3:1
Flatter than 10:1
Time
7 days
14 days
21 days
b. For sites with more than ten (10) acres disturbed at one time, or if a
channel originates in the disturbed area, one or more temporary or
permanent sedimentation basin shall be constructed. Each sedimentation
basin shall have a surface area of at least one percent of the area draining
to the basin and at least three feet of depth and constructed in accordance
with accepted design specifications. Sediment shall be removed to
maintain a depth of three feet. The basin discharge rate shall also be
sufficiently low as to not cause erosion, scour, or flooding along the
discharge channel or the receiving water.
c. For sites with less than ten (10) acres disturbed at one time, silt fences
or equivalent control measures shall be placed along all side slopes and
down slope sides of the site. If a channel or area of concentrated runoff
passes through the site, silt fences shall be placed along the channel edges
to reduce sediment reaching the channel. The use of silt fences or
equivalent control measures must include a maintenance and inspection
schedule.
4. Any soil or dirt storage piles containing more than ten (10) cubic yards of
material should not be located with a downslide drainage length ofless than
twenty-five (25) feet from the toe of the pile to a roadway or drainage
channel. If remaining for more than seven days, they shall be stabilized by
mulching vegetative cover, tarps or other means. Erosion from piles which
will be in existence for less than seven days shall beoolltrolled by placing
straw bales or silt fence barriers around the pile. In-street utility repair or
construction soil or dirt storage piles located closer t!lIJ.ntwenty-five (25) feet
of a roadway or drainage channel1llust becoyered with tarps or suitable
alternative control, if expOsed forlIlore than seven (7) days, the stormdrain
inlets must be proteged with an appropriate filtering barrier.
G. Inspection and maintelUlIlce. All stormwater management BMPs shall be
inspected weeklyor after every .5" rain event by the applicant. If sediment has
reached lI~.Jhe capacity of the sedi1llelltcontrgl practice, appropriate
maintel1llllce or replacement of the BMP must be completed to ensure maximum
effectiveness. .
. .
79.10 Completion of Work. Work will be considered complete when all exposed
soil areas have undergone final sta~ilization, as defined in section 79.05; is constructed
to finish grade, ap.d is in conformance with all permit conditions of approval to the
satisfaction ofth~pty. The applicant or representative shall notify the city when the
land disturbing operations are ready for final inspection. Final approval shall not be
given until all wo*including installation of all drainage facilities and their protective
devices, and all eT()sion control measures, have been completed and final stabilization
has occurred in accordance with this ordinance.

Updates
Update - Anoka County CDBG funds for the downtown study
Great News - The Community Development staff of Anoka County along with
the Management Committee of the Housing and Redevelopment Authority have
recommended approving $75,000 of our grant request (see attachment) for the
downtown study. On February 22, 2005, the full Anoka County Housing and
Redevelopment Authority Board will be conducting a public hearing on the
Management Committee recommendations and taking the appropriate action to
finalize the grant selection process.
Update - State Bonding Bill Request for Local Share of CSAH 14 Improvements
I formalized our request to our local legislators to sponsor a bill for the local share
of the CSAH 14 improvements and the local match for the transportation
enchantment grant. This bill should be popping up on the legislative "radar
screen" soon. The next step in the process will be to monitor the bill's progress.
Update - Sales Tax Exemption
To better match the schedule of the development of the joint police station, I
have also requested that the effective date of the sales tax exemption for the
construction of the joint police station be as soon as possible. Currently, the bill's
effective date is July 1, 2005.

Dear Ms. Bender:
Enclosed, please find for your city council's review, the North Metro Media Center 2004
Annual Report. This document outlines staff progress toward established goals,
measures key areas of growth, and highlights many of the major accomplishments, across
the year 2004.
When the Cable Commission assumed responsibility for the management of the public
access entity in 1997, it was with the intent of developing the best service and
programming possible for the citizens of our communities. As you will see, upon
examination of this report, Media Center staff are providing a service that is both a
benefit to our communities and one we can be very proud of.
If you have any questions, comments or suggestions regarding community television,
please contact Heidi Arnson, the Media Center's Executive Director, at 763-231-2801, or
h-arnsonCalmtn.org. We look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
iW(~

Overview
The following report highlights the accomplishments and activity of the Media
Center and Cable Commission in 2004.
It was a nearly perfect year. In the area of community programming we
upgraded the cameras in the production truck, expanded our internship program,
attracted new producers from the public, and managed to somehow surpass
most of our production records from the previous year.
Meanwhile, the Commission worked hard on rate regulation issues and wrapped
up close to three years of very intense work on a new state-of-the-art production
facility.
Public Access
Structurally, we have two basic departments; the public access department and
the staff production department. Two staff members are entirely devoted to
working with our community producers. They accomplish this through class
instruction, tours, assisting the public with their video projects, and scheduling
the channel.
When one considers that the facility was actually unavailable to the general
public for close to three months, due to packing, the move, and then unpacking
and set up, 2004's numbers are actually statistically better than the previous
year's. Even considering our down time, the number of classes taught and
programs produced by the general public were only slightly lower than last year.
The number of students participating in classes increased due to a series of
classes we taught at the Centennial Learning Center.
Other areas worth noting include equipment usage trends, the annual volunteer
award ceremony, and the energizing affect of new producers.
Equipment Update
While there weren't any equipment acquisitions in 2004 specifically for use by the
general public, the equipment upgrades from 2003 started to reach their
potential.
3
· DV camcorders
The DV camcorders surpassed the SVHS camcorders as the camera of
choice for check-outs. A corresponding improvement in video quality of
finished projects naturally followed.
· Non-linear edit suite
The non-linear edit suite that was built in 2003 didn't see much use from the
general public at first. It was a new format, and an entirely new way of
thinking about editing. Happily, in 2004, the general public started warming
up to the idea. Non-linear editing classes are becoming more popular and
this edit suite started to get some real use.
We also placed a DV tape deck in the linear edit suite to accommodate all of
the format needs of our producers.
Annual Volunteer Award Ceremony
Human capital is our greatest resource. We work with a lot of people in the
community who produce their own
programs and people who,
cumulatively, volunteered nearly
3,000 hours to help staff produce
programs utilizing the production
truck. Both methods require a lot of
work, knowledge and time. We are
very respectful of and grateful to
those folks who participate in
community programming and we
think it's important to recognize
them for all of their efforts. Volunteers at the award ceremony
We do so at a Volunteer Award Ceremony that we hold every April. In 2004 the
ceremony took place at the Majestic Oaks Golf
Course. Around 50 volunteers and producers
showed up for hors d'oeuvres, conversation,
trophies, channel 15 clothing and to be
recognized and appreciated for their efforts.
Fourteen special merit awards were presented
to some very deserving individuals. This year,
all of the award winner's photos were posted on
the website, along with additional pictures of
the gala. Each winner also graced the home
page for a week. The event was taped and
played on channel 15

New Blood
Every community programming facility has its group of core producers...the
people who stick with video production year after year. Most often they represent
an organization such as a church, and produce programming reflective of that
organization.
It's very difficult to locate, train, and retain
new producers. Video production can be a
frustrating, time-consuming, and technical
endeavor. To his credit, instructor Joel
Knudsen has done an excellent job of
recruiting, training, and assisting several
groups of new producers this past year.
We consider it a public relations and
educational success if people complete
classes and check out the equipment. If they
actually follow through with their idea and
complete a program it's just icing on the
cake.

h to work with several of these groups this past year.
They included a square dancing club called
the Hotfoot Stompers, the District 49 DFL
Caucus, representatives of ISO #11, the
Opportunity Partners non-profit organization,
and members of a U.S. Postal Union.
The most impressive thing about the list of
The Hotfoot Stompers shot
their show on location
organizations that became involved in
community programming in 2004, is that
not only did they complete a series of
video production classes, they also
followed through and produced at least one
program for channel 15. Equally impressive
is the fact that all of them are still producing
programs going into 2005.

Classes and Students
One of our primary purposes is to teach video production. Whether people are
interested in helping out on van shoots, want to produce their own programs, or
just want to learn how to shoot better home video, we
provide a valuable resource to the community.
Our basic series of four classes is scheduled on a
monthly basis, plus we organize private instruction when
our regularly scheduled classes don't fit into a student's
schedule. The class schedule is posted on our web site.
Statistically, we had a pretty good year in the area of
classes taught and student participation. We taught
slightly fewer classes in 2004, primarily because we
didn't have the facilities for instruction before, during, and
Matt Waldron explains after our move.
graphics techniques
The number of students involved increased fairly
dramatically because of a series of classes we taught at the Centennial Learning
Center. We partnered with the Learning Center to offer video production classes
as a part of their summer learning program.

Because of the location of our new Media Center, we will be in a prime position
to work with several local schools. As our experience working with the
Centennial Learning Center was very positive, we are hoping to engage in more
teaching partnerships with schools in 2005.

Program Production
There are two separate statistics that we keep track of, regarding programs
submitted for playback at the Media Center. Programs produced by the general
public utilizing our equipment and facilities, and those submitted by outside
sources.
First, we'll consider programs produced by the general public utilizing Media
Center equipment. While the actual numbers are slightly less than those of the
previous year, when one considers our down time, the public actually improved
over the previous year. In 2003 the public averaged 19.25 programs per month.
In 2004, considering the facility was closed to editing and studio shoots for two
months, the average was 22.10.

The second statistic that we track, the number of programs submitted for
playback that were produced using somebody else's equipment decreased
slightly. Many local churches, schools, other area access centers, and even
cities submit programs produced in this manner. They are still local programs of
interest to the area. They simply weren't produced at our facility. When
combining the two numbers, along with staff productions, there was a very slight
increase in new, local programs submitted from 1,101 in 2003 to 1,105 in 2004.

Total Program
Production Breakout
. Programs produced
by public
Of the 1,105 new programs
that played on the channel
in 2004, 20% were produced
by the public utilizing our
facility (a 1 % drop) and 27%
were produced by staff.
. Programs produced
bystaft
o Programs produced
by public not using
Media Center
Outside programs
represented 53% of the programs that played on the channel. This represents a
1 % drop over the previous year. Again, these programs are most often produced
by local organizations such as churches, schools, and cities.
In comparing the statistics with the previous year, programs produced by the
public both with our equipment and with other equipment decreased slightly,
while programs produced by staff increased by 2%.
Staff Productions
The second half of our operation is, of course, staff productions. These are the
programs that staff produces for the community. We do this because we realize
that most people don't have the time, energy or desire to produce their own
programs, but are interested in watching programs about their community
produced for them.
These programs include city meetings, high school sporting events, local news,
event coverage, and community and school activities. The staff produces a wide
variety of interesting and informative programs with a high degree of technical
expertise. We think of it as "covering all the bases."
The Production Van
The North Metro production van is a familiar sight at all of our ball fields,
gymnasiums, and ice rinks. It serves as a production tool, PR tool, and
classroom all in one.
Van Director Kenton Kipp and his assistant Matt Waldron take great pride in
producing professional looking and diverse programs. They pore over each high
8
school's sports roster and look at upcoming city events to plan their coverage
schedules. They try hard to balance many different sports for both genders, and
three high schools. They also work very hard to follow any of our teams if they
should make it into any kind of post-season
scenario.

Kenton and Matt have nurtured a reliable
group of volunteers who have become very
technically adept. The number of volunteers
helping out this past year was slightly more
than the previous year. Volunteers also put
in quite a few more hours. This is partially
due to a larger number of van shoots than in
the previous year.
During our move, the production truck
remained a functioning studio control room,
so it was often used for shoots that would have normally been produced in the
studio.
I am very pleased with the work the van department has done this year. Even
though availability of the truck wasn't influenced by our move, there were other
factors that should have resulted in fewer van shoots for the year.
First, we purchased four new camera packages over the summer. Our Video
Engineer, Rick, decided that as long as he was integrating the new equipment he
might as well re-wire and test the entire truck. So he did. It took a total of about
three weeks to get everything up to his specs. . . three weeks that the truck was
unavailable for a shoot.
In addition, Kenton Kipp, our Van Director, underwent two separate back
surgeries in 2004. He wasn't allowed to do any heavy lifting for quite a while
after each surgery. His assistant, Matt Waldron, did an excellent job of
maintaining our traditionally busy production schedule. It is another example of
how well the staffing system we developed for the van and news departments is
serving us.

Volunteers aren't our only source of assistance on van shoots. We have come to
rely quite heavily on interns. As such, we've developed a strong internship
program. Students from area high schools and
colleges and technical colleges are encouraged to
intern at the Media Center.
We try to have one or two truck interns a quarter.
We offer a $500 stipend to up to eight interns a
year. The stipends are paid only after the
successful completion of at least 100 hours of
work. We also offer unpaid internships and half-
time internships for high school students. They
are only required to put in 50 hours for a
completed internship, but don't qualify for a stipend.

The van department worked with six interns in 2004.
City Scope
Just when you thought the City Scope crew couldn't possibly improve the show
and the output of the News department, they
do just that. City Scope, our truly local, weekly
news program continues to be our gateway to
the community. The department produced 44
episodes of City Scope last year, with the
number of local stories totaling 310.
News Director Aric Otzelberger, along with his
assistant Katie Young made a couple of
changes to the show in 2005. First, over the
summer months, they piloted a ten-week
Aric and T.J. anchor City Scope segment called "Where in Anoka County is
10
T.J." In each segment, T.J. would deliver three clues regarding his location and
viewers could log on to our website to register their guess as to where he was. If
a viewer offered the correct answer, they were mailed a City Scope t-shirt. At the
end of ten weeks staff had received 37 correct responses. We also received
quite a few comments from viewers who found the segment very entertaining.
Another addition to the department was the initiation of a formal news internship
program. We have worked with interns in the van department for some time, but
this was a first for the news staff. Aric and Katie worked with two interns,
Rachel Wick, a Blaine resident and
broadcasting student at St. Cloud
University and James Magnusun, a
Circle Pines resident and broadcasting
student at the Minnesota Business
College. Rachel and James worked as a
team on stories with James handling the
technical aspects such as shooting and
audio and Rachel serving as the reporter.
The internship gave both students the
opportunity to work with shooting, editing, Intern Rachel Wick co-anchors
writing, building a story, making contacts an episode of City Scope
and setting up interviews, reporting, and, in
Rachel's case, anchoring. According to a thank-you letter we received from
Rachel at the end of her internship, it was one of the most valuable educational
opportunities she had experienced.
Another first for the City Scope crew included a foray into the national spotlight.
Over the last several years, City Scope has worked with the SBM Fire
Department to produce various stories on their fire prevention programs and
initiatives. At the request of the SBM Fire Department, Aric and Katie compiled
those segments and submitted them to the National Fire Academy in
Emmittsburg, Maryland. The Academy is currently using the video in their
curriculum for a class entitled "The American Family and Prevention." So, in a
small way, City Scope and the SBM Fire Department are helping to train
firefighters from across the entire United States.
While the department's primary focus revolved around producing meaningful
programming, it also accomplished a variety of auxiliary tasks. These included
taking the lead on the studio lighting and set development projects for the new
facility, tearing down and rebuilding the staff edit suite for the move, (relieving
some of the pressure off of our Video Engineer and resulting in only a five-week
hiatus for production of City Scope), and the time consuming interview and hiring
process when Katie resigned her position. (She got married and moved to
Washington D.C.)
11
L
Which, of course, resulted in another turning
point for the news department. Danika Klyve
joined our staff as the News and Public
Affairs Producer on October 4th, 2004. Her
first few weeks took place during a time of
transition due to our move, but she had no
problem adapting to our editing and camera
systems. She is an excellent addition to the
staff and we believe our news contacts in the
community will find her to be thorough,
professional, and very pleasant to work with.
Even through staffing transitions it's good to
know that City Scope will continue to serve
as a window into events taking place in our seven communities.
Additional Staff Produced Programs
. Municipal event programs ,
Each year we do our best to produce as many municipal issues and events
as we can. Kenton and Matt cover parades and pageants related to Tower
Days, Blaine's Blazin' 4th and Fetes des Lacs celebrations.
Aric put a great deal of effort into developing a more com
viewer friendly series of election programs
called "Local Decision 2004." All of the city
elections and the county and state house
races were covered. Each program featured
a forum setting with candidates answering a
series of questions on issues of local
concern. We worked with the League of
Women's Voters to guarantee that the
process we utilized would be equitable. We
received many positive comments regarding the programs from viewers. We
look forward to continuing this series of programs and, as always, look to our
cities for suggestions for improving it.
Local Decision 2004
Aric and Katie worked with the Blaine and Lino Lakes police departments to
cover both of their Citizen Academy programs. They also worked with the
various fire and police departments to cover training events and National
Night Out. This year they also taped the Creating Community Hero Awards.
T.J. out-did himself in 2004. Along with monthly coverage of the Anoka
County Board meetings and the Cable Commission meetings he also covered
quite a few government related events. They include several assessment
hearings for Centerville, the Tri-City Council meeting regarding a new police
12
facility, a Blaine Town Hall meeting, the Centerville 2004 Residential Street
Improvement Project Input meeting and the Rice Creek Watershed workshop.
He then moved on to election related programming with coverage of the Ham
Lake City Council and Spring Lake Park City Council Meet the Candidates
events, a State Representative District 49A Meet the Candidates event, and
the Four Women in Politics forum.
In addition to those programs he covered the Blaine and Centennial area .
Safety Camps, the Blaine Concert in the Park series, and taped a couple of
school related concerts. He also took over production of Schools in Focus
and created a new program series called Coming Up on 15.
. Chamber programs
Michele continues her work with the Metro North Chamber of Commerce.
She has the Chamber's business issues talk show, Taking Care of Business,
on a monthly production schedule and she also videotapes most of the
Chamber's luncheon presentations.
. Viewpoint
Katie and Aric continue to produce this monthly community issues talk show.
It provides a forum for groups to discuss their purpose and events, along with
current events of importance to the North Metro. This year, partially because
of the move, they took the show on the road. Several episodes were
produced on location, including one at the Wargo Nature Center and one at
the state capitol.
. Sports Den
Kenton and Matt created a new sports-wrap talk show to replace both Locker
Room Live and Home Court Advantage.
Locker Room Live dealt only with football.
Home Court Advantage dealt only with
basketball. The new show, is produced during
every sports season and examines all sports
we cover, both girls and boys. Previously
sports like volleyball or tennis didn't get
examined. Now everything is dissected.
Kenton Kipp along with volunteers Dave
Washburn and Jeff Dinsmore host the show,
which is made up of statistical analysis, coach
interviews, and footage from the previous
weeks games. Kenton and Matt produced 26 episodes of Sports Den in
2004.

Sports Director Kenton Kipp

Staff produces this monthly program (during the
school year) in partnership with school district
#11. When Katie Young resigned, responsibility
for the production of the show was given to T.J.
Tronson. The transition has been seamless and
the program continues to inform and educate
parents and students regarding issues and
events in the school district. It should also be
noted that the program won an award in 2004.
The Schools in Focus set
The program won the Silver Star Award in the
Multi-Media Category of the Minnesota Public Relations Association awards
contest.

. Coming Up on 15
T.J. Tronson and Joel Knudsen have created a new program series. It's
called "Coming Up on 15." The fifteen-minute show highlights some of the
programs one can expect to see on channel 15 in the coming month in a
relaxed and humorous way.
PR
We didn't make any big PR initiatives in 2004, but we did continue doing the
things that have worked for us in the past.
. Parades
For the third year, Media Center staff participated in the Tower Days and
Fetes des Lacs parades. We handed out flyers telling parade attendees
when they could see the parade on channel 15, along with hyping our news
program, City Scope. We also pelted innocent observers with a wide variety
of confectionary treats. While staff did not participate in the Blaine parade,
we did videotape it and covered many of the Blazin' 4th events for City Scope.
Next year we will also have the new Lino Lakes parade to cover.
. Tours/studio passes
Tours remain a very popular service provided by the Media Center. Michele
has developed a fun learning experience for the
legions of scouts and other student groups who
want to see what a television studio is all about.
When they arrive, she spends an hour or so with
each group, helping them make a channel 15
promo, letting them push buttons, and giving
everyone a Channel 15 studio pass to proudly
wear and take home.

. Website
The website has become an incredibly valuable tool for us. Through cross-
promotion with some of our series programs we have found additional ways
to attract the community to this invaluable
information source. We created links for
people to respond to questions from City
Scope and Sports Den. People who
answered questions correctly were
'awarded with a t-shirt. We also included
comprehensive, weekly updates on the
progress of our new building. Access
users, government officials, and even the
constructon workers all commented on
how much they enjoyed visiting the
website and keeping up with events
related to the new building. Be sure to visit www.northmetr015.com to find
out why we are so proud of this PR tool.

Our monthly newsletter the Videogram continues to be distributed

is also posted on our website.
Additional Services for the Cities
. Computers, networks, and Rose
As you may recall, we sent Rose to school to become a Microsoft Systems
Engineer. A big goal of ours was to offer whatever computer assistance to
our cities that we could. Well, this little plan paid off in a big way in 2004.
o Rose completed building seven computer workstations and a three
hard-drive back-up system for the City of Circle Pines.
o A new computer network was built and installed for the Centennial
Fire District. It included designing the network, building two general
workstations, a graphic workstation, and a non-linear editing station
with both VHS and DVD burning capabilities. A three hard-drive
back-up system was also a part of this project. Rose also installed
routers and switches to enable a communications pathway for all
employees, and access to high speed internet.
o Two new Scala graphics systems were designed, programmed,
and installed for the cities of Lexington and Lino Lakes. This was a
real money saver for the cities as Scala normally requires clients to
purchase a turnkey system. Rose, however, worked with Scala
and managed to undertake the private build.
15
o The cities of Ham Lake and Centerville made use of Rose's skills
with the installation of their high speed internet connections.
o Rose continues to monitor and maintain city Scala systems.
o Rose continues to assist the cities with computer issues.
. Video equipment problems
Whenever one of the cities experiences a problem with their video production
equipment or signal Rick Kocinski is dispatched to help in any way he can.
He has successfully advised cities regarding new equipment purchases,
repaired decks, and cleaned up signal quality.
With the completion of our new master control Rick now has the ability to
monitor our seven government signals. He has established a daily schedule
for doing so. With this system, we hope to discover and solve problems
before the cities even realize there is one.
. Master Control services
In 2004 we took the preliminary steps necessary to allow us to assume
master control responsibilities for the cities. With the completion of our new
master control we were able to route all seven city signals through our
program routing equipment. This not only allows us to monitor the city
channels, it also will allow us to program them. Staff met to assign
scheduling and encoding responsibilities and to establish a procedure for
maintaining the channels. We expect to begin programming the city channels
in January of 2005.
The Commission
It was another busy year for the Commission. I was apparently delusional to
think that things would slow down after the establishment of the new franchise.
Two primary issues consumed most of the Commission's attention in 2004. First
were the issues and processes surrounding the Commission's participation in
two rate regulation challenges, and the second was the actual construction of the
new Media Center facility.
Rate Review
Comcast filed two FCC forms, a 1240 and a 1205, indicating to what level they
intended to raise the maximum permitted rates for basic cable service,
installation, and related equipment costs. The Commission was charged with
determining whether the proposed rates were justified. The Commission chose
16
not to do a substantive review of the form 1240. However, related to the
examination of the FCC form 1240, which is used to support Comcast's proposed
maximum permitted rate for basic 1 cable service, the Commission chose to
examine the methodology utilized by Comcast for charging subscribers for
franchise fees paid on non-subscriber related income, such as advertising and
shopping chanrtel sales. In conjunction with several other area Commissions a
consultant was hired to examine the methodology. After a great deal of
deliberation and examination the consultant recommended requiring Com cast to
include non-subscriber franchise fees as a part of their annual form 1240 filing.
The primary justification was that the FCC form 1240 already contained a
process for trueing up costs and receipts, and that it would make reviewing these
costs easier for the Commission going forward. If the Commission chooses to
adopt rate orders that include the recommended change for determining non-
subscriber revenues, Comcast is expected to mount a challenge.
The second part of the Commission's rate review responsibility included an
examination of the FCC form 1205 that was filed by Comcas!. This form is
utilized to justify proposed costs for equipment and installation charges related to
the basic service tier. Because Comcast determines these costs based on
national averages and not on the actual local costs, determining whether the
charges were justified was very difficult. As such, the Commission joined a
national examination of Comcast's costs. Comcast felt that some of the
Information requested by the consultant was not necessary for determining the
costs, so they petitioned the FCC for relief. At this time, the consultants have
completed their examination of the figures and submitted a report and
recommendation. According to the consultants there is justification for a refund
to subscribers. The next step is for the Commission to decide whether to adopt
rate orders reflecting this recommendation.
The New Facility
This is the year that it all came together. Three years of planning, changing
rules, borrowing money, locating and buying land, hiring an architect and a
contractor, and designing the facility were over. The time had arrived for getting
dirty and seeing the project to its end. Let the fun begin!
. Choosing the materials
You would think this would be fun, but it's actually quite rife with pressure.
Thankfully we had a good team effort when it came to choosing building
and finishing materials. As anyone can attest who has been through this,
the first items you must choose, such as exterior finishes and roofing
materials, get a lot of consideration. You're pretty sure each decision is
life or death. By the time you get to the light switch plates and window
coverings you realize there is going to be a tomorrow.
17
I
,
. The ground breaking
The ground breaking ceremony for the new facility was held on Monday,
March 22nd at 4:00 p.m. Dick Swanson, Chair of the Cable Commission,
served as the Master of Ceremony.
Harley Wells, Vice Chair, talked about
the history of the Commission and I
talked about the future of the Media
Center. Mayor pro tiem of Blaine,
Russ Herbst, welcomed us to our new
location and members of the Metro
North Chamber of Commerce were
there to lend their support. Norm
Handy, the principal of Blaine High
School also attended the event.
Let's get this building underway!
. Construction
Once the process of actually putting the building together started it
seemed to move very quickly. One day it was a field covered with trees,
the next it had a very large building on it. The construction actually started
at the end of March and wrapped up the second week of September. We
monitored progress on the building via our website. Each week photos
and narrative regarding the project were updated. Old photos were
archived so folks could see the changes being made.
. Data/Phone network
There were a few projects that didn't come under the purview of Gen^Con.
Two of those projects included the phone and data networks. Rose
worked very hard at coordinating these projects. She met with countless
contractors, designed the systems, and supervised the installation of the
infrastructure. The result? A VOIP phone system and state of the art fiber
data network that provides us limitless growth potential. Our data network
is truly one of the shining jewels of this entire project. With it, we can
transfer data from anywhere in the building to our servers. This will allow
us to edit or program the channels from our desks. People will also be
able to save programs directly to a server, skipping the need for videotape
altogether.
18
. Studio lighting grids
This was the second major project we handled on our own. We issued
invitations to bid on a comprehensive lighting system for two studios. In
the end Norcostco won the bid and we began
working with them. Aric Otzelberger was
charged with leading this project. He worked
closely with the contractor to determine the
lighting grid, lighting equipment, curtain track,
curtain, and electrical needs for both studios.
We saved quite a bit of money by utilizing
some lights, dimmer packs, and curtains from
Aric han9ing studio lights our previous location. A timeline for installation
was coordinated with the building progress.
Staff did as much of the work ourselves as we could. That included the
actual hanging of the lights and curtains.
. Master Control
While all of us love everything about the new building, master control is
the diamond on top of the ring. It serves .
as the nerve center for our entire
operation. Our phone, data, security,
and channel playback systems are all
routed through this space. With the
equipment that Alpha Video installed, we
have the ability to program 12 channels
from our server based playback system.
We are no longer tied to the number of
. tape decks we have when it comes to Master Control
program scheduling. With a server based system all that matters is how
much hard-drive space you have. We have a lot. It wilt not be long before
we are able to program the government channels, for cities, utilizing this
new system.
. The move
The last part of August through mid-September was spent packing up the
old facility. This required tearing apart a lot of video systems so it was
delicate and time-consuming work. The official move took place on
September 16th. Staff had their new offices pretty well organized by the
end of September. We were officially vacated from our old premises as of
October 31S\ 2004. That was a very joyous day. The edit suites, control
room, and equipment check-out areas were up and functional in the new
building by mid-November.
19
Subscriber Growth
The North Metro suburbs experienced excellent cable subscriber growth in
2004. This can probably be attributed to the benefits of an upgraded cable
infrastructure, the public's interest in high speed internet service, and the high
level of new housing development.
According to subscriber numbers reported in December of 2003 and
December of 2004 levels increased by the following percentages:

As the table clearly demonstrates, all seven cities experienced growth in the
number of homes served and the number of homes subscribing to cable. These
figures represent households that subscribe to video services and does not take
high speed data or phone service into consideration. As the Commission cannot
regulate those services statistics on them are not provided. It should be noted
that all of these figures represent the day on which they were tallied. It is difficult
to know the exact number of subscribers on a day-to-day basis, as it is always
changing.
All of the information provided above is considered proprietary by Comcast. It is
provided for your information because you are the franchising authority. It is not
to be shared with the public or competitors to the cable company.

l
Summary
It is going to be very difficult to improve upon the events of 2004 next year. One
of the largest projects the Commission has ever undertaken was, for all intents
and purposes, completed. With the new building we have the tools we need to
turn our goals for 2005, specifically programming the government channels for
cities, into a reality.
Hopefully, with a new building we will also be able to attract more producers from
the general public and have the opportunity to work more closely with students
and teachers from our local schools. It will be difficult to beat the production
statistics from last year, but we'll do our best.
I believe that this report demonstrates that the Media Center staff are more than
meeting the needs of our communities and continue to provide very responsive
service to the cities and citizens we serve.
We look forward to reaching all of our goals for 2005!

MIsSION STATEMENT
COLD SPRING EDA
Adopted November 14,2001
The mission of the Cold Spring EDA is to ensure the sustainability and viability of the
community and to maximize community assets. With a focus on community development
that is consistent with the community's objectives the EDA will work to maintain an
abundant and diversified economic base through the judicious use of resources.
***
The Cold Spring EDA recognizes the importance of...
)> The sustainability and viability of the community over a perceived need to expand or
expand at all costs. This principal is based upon the belief that growth does not
necessarily indicate prosperity.
)> Maximizing community assets over simply expanding the community's economic
base. This principal is based upon the belief that the objective of expanding a
community's economic base is in most cases only the means to an end, with that end
being a maximization of the goods and services available to residents, whether public
or private.
)> Emphasizing community development over economic development. This principal is
based upon the belief that the objectives commonly associated with economic
development are merely a subset of the objectives associated with community
development; with the latter incorporating a greater importance for community assets.
)> The belief that ideally all development should bring the community closer to the
objectives the community has established, to a large degree in its comprehensive plan.
Furthermore, that development which is inconsistent with the community's objectives
possesses a lower value, or may even be undesired.
)> Maintaining an economic base that is not only abundant, but is also abundantly
diversified. This principal is based upon the belief that a diverse industrial base
provides a greater level of employment opportunity for the community's residents
and a more stable tax base. More importantly that a diverse commercial base
provides a higher degree of variety among the goods and services available to its
residents, and that all existing commerce benefits from diversity.
)> A comprehension of the scarcity of resources; particularly natural, human and
financial resources. This principal is based upon the belief that an over-utilization of
a particular resource threatens to disrupt the balance required for sustainability and
often leads demands for the contribution of greater public resources. Above all, that
public resources are limited and should be utilized most judiciously.
