Minutes of City Council Meeting
20 February 2007
The February, 2007 regular meeting of the City Council of the City of Gem Lake was called to order by
Mayor Emeott on Tuesday, February 20, 2007 at 7:09 p.m. in the first floor meeting room of Tousley Ford.
Mayor Emeott, Councilors Watson, Schilling, and Artig-Swomley were present. Also present were
Bonding Financial Advisor, Todd Hagen of Ehlers & Associates, Inc.; Mark Sweet, Construction Manager;
Justin Gese, City Engineer; and City Attorney Trevor Oliver. Other members of the public were also in
attendance per the sign -in sheet sent around the room.
APPROVAL OF AGENDA AND MEETING MINUTES
Mayor Emeott then called for additions, deletions and corrections to the Agenda. Mayor Emeott added
New Business Item E, Financial (Treasurer's) Report. No other changes to the agenda were noted. The
following actions were taken 1) Motion by Watson, Second by Schilling to accept the change to the agenda
was unanimously approved; 2) Motion by Schilling, Second by Watson to approve the Minutes of the
January 16, 2007 City Council Meeting was unanimously approved.
Public Hearing: Todd Hagen of Ehlers & Associations, Inc. explained that tonight's Public Hearing was
for consideration to approve a resolution giving preliminary approval for the issuance of the City's General
Obligation Capital Improvement Plan bonds in an amount not to exceed $850,000.00; and adopting the City
of Gem Lake Minnesota Capital Improvement Plan of 2007 through 2011 therefore. The bond will have a
20 year pay back period. There will be a debt service the first 10 years of $45,000; and then $70,000 over
each of the remaining 10 years.
The total amount of expenditures proposed under the Capital Improvement Plan is approximately
$1,129,463, including approximately $376,488 to be provided by White Bear Township, and the sale by the
City of Gem Lake of approximately $785,000 in bonds to be paid for over a twenty year period. In response
to a question why that particular amount is proposed to be bonded, Todd Hagen explained that enough
needs to be bonded for to cover all costs. The bond is for an amount "not to exceed" $850,000.00.
A question was asked, if the building is only 3,500 square feet, the $1.2 million cost seems high. Todd
Hagen explained that because it will be a commercial building certain codes need to be met, such as fire
sprinklers, handicap accessibility, and mechanicals. The building will be used as Gem Lake's City Hall.
White Bear Township will have two meetings there each month and will use the facility as a polling place
for precinct 4. It will also include an office to serve as a substation for the Ramsey County Sheriff
Department. The Town will provide the buildable site and extend utilities to the building. Watson noted
that Gem Lake is creating a city asset with this building.
A question was asked if the project requires 10% or 20% for contingencies. Mayor Emeott noted that 10%
has been allowed for contingencies.
A Gem Lake land owner noted that the current city administration of Gem Lake is most talented and does
not need to be recognized by building a city hall and asked if the money could be spent on something else.
He noted that the school district is in dire straights and the money could be used for childhood education.
He also questioned about the location of the proposed building noting that it would be better to have it
around Hoffrnan Road and Highway 61. This would provide for marketability if necessary.
Artig-Swomley asked about the plans for the building's driveways. Mark Sweet explained that one-half of
the Goose Lake Road right-of-way is still intact and that the other one-half has been vacated to the Town.
She asked what soft costs would be involved. It was noted that soft costs will include architectural fees;
legal fees; furniture; light fixtures, etc. The Township's current video equipment for recording and
cablecasting meetings will be moved to the Town/City Hall facility.
Mayor Emeott closed the Public Hearing.
Public Notices: Mayor Emeott reported that there are no public notices.
COMMITTEES REPORTS:
RESOLVED: Motion by Watson, Second by Schilling to accept the Planning Commission Report was
unanimously approved.
RESOLVED: Motion by Artig-Swomley, Second by Schilling to accept the City Treasurer's Report was
unanimously approved.
City Hall / Town Hall Construction Data: Mark Sweet, Gem Lake resident/Construction Manager,
reviewed and described the cooperative effort between the City of Gem Lake and White Bear Township for
this new building. He reviewed the site plan for the proposed building reporting that the building has been
placed to maximize natural lighting, accessibility and expansion. The driveway will be off of Otter Lake
and Goose Lake Road. The clusters of trees will be retained with only a few trees and some scrub which
need to be removed for the building pad. The building will be slab on grade. It will be handicapped
accessible. Storm Water drainage and water treatment will be done by use of a rain garden, which utilizes
natural plantings to absorb the water and remove sediment.
The exterior elevations of the building were reviewed. The building will be built utilizing LEED
(Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design) guidelines. He reviewed the main level floor plan of the
proposed building. He noted that there will be a large lobby which can serve as an assembly area for
people waiting to go into or coming out of the large meeting room. This large meeting room will serve as
the City Council's meeting hall. White Bear Township will also use the building for their Town Board
meetings from November 2007 to April 2008, during the time that their Old Town Hall is moved and
restored. The new building will also serve as the permanent location for the polling place for the Town's
4t' precinct. A City of Gem Lake administration office and a reception desk will be off the lobby. A
smaller meeting room for smaller group meetings is also planned on the NW end of the building. The
Ramsey County Sheriff's Department will have an office/sub-station in the building. This substation will
have access off the lobby with a separate entrance, will be soundproofed, and will be available on a 24
hours basis. The building will utilize vaulted ceilings. There will be two heating zones to provide control
for heating either unused or in -use portions of the building. A kitchenette, bulletin board and display area
will be off the lobby. A restroom area is also planned off the lobby. The restroom will be larger than
normal due to codes for public use facilities and will be handicapped accessible.
RESOLVED: Motion by Artig-Swomley and Second by Schilling to approve continued work on the City
Hall / Town hall construction was unanimously approved.
New Business
RESOLVED: Acceptance of Resolution 2007-05: Motion by Schilling and Second by Watson to
approve Resolution 2007-05 to authorize the sale of a General Obligation Capital Improvement Plan Bond
2
in the maximum amount of $850,000.00 was unanimously approved. The sale of these bonds will be
approved at the April 17th, 2007 City Council Meeting.
Joint Meeting with Vadnais Heights City Council - Tuesday, March 6, 2007 at 6:00 p.m.: Mayor
Emeott, Coucilors Watson and Schilling will attend the meeting.
RESOLVED: Approval of Contract with Animal Control: A citizen asked if patrol by Animal Control
was needed. She asked if services could be on an as -needed basis in response to complaints and that there
be a set charge rather than an estimate. Motion by Schilling, Second by Artig-Swomley that Animal
Control patrol as requested in response to complaints was unanimously approved.
RESOLVED: Approval of Payment Claims for January — February, 2007: Motion by Watson,
Second by Schilling for payment of claims for January — February, 2007, noting that all are okay within
this time frame was unanimously approved.

Planning Commission Minutes, 2-6-2007
Planning Commission Chair Lindner opened the February meeting at 7:05PM. Besides
Lindner, Commissioner Rafferty and alternate Commissioner Beth Herzog were present.
Also present were Councilwoman Gretchen Artig-Swomley, Bob Upzen, Steve Herzog,
Economic Development Commissioner Rick Bosak, Councilman Tom Rasmussen, and
Mayor Paul Emeott.
Comprehensive Plan meeting recap
Mr. Lindner reviewed the January 9 city meeting at White Bear Town Hall. SEH ran the
meeting and is responsible for processing the content, but Lindner shared with those
present the results of the SWOT analysis. Some of the information will be readily
adapted into a Comprehensive Plan, while other information (namely those items deemed
"threats") will require further analysis.
We discussed continuing to pursue the written survey as part of the information gathering
process. Walter Powell had been working on this, but now has accepted employment
elsewhere and is no longer our city intern. Contacting residents and business owners via
a survey still has merit. We also discussed mailings to all residents as the preferred way
of communicating the meetings. Beth Herzog stated she would be able to hand deliver
some of the mailings as she walks around town.
All in all it was a good start to the comp plan update process. Approximately 65 people
attended and all had many opportunities to provide input. Mr. Rafferty also wishes to see
a revised schedule from SEH to have a better idea of the course our Comp Plan meetings
and drafts will take.
City Hall
Steve Herzog suggested an alternate means of constructing our city hall, using students
from Century College who are learning the building trades and the building process. It is
an intriguing idea that may or may not fit our construction schedule and our construction
process. Craig Rafferty described what he sees as some of the challenges to such an
approach. We left the idea hanging pending further review.
Ordinance Updates
Nuisance Additions and Amendments
Mr. Lindner conducted a first reading of the proposed amendments and additions to the
Nuisance Ordinance. There was confusion as to which nuisance ordinance these
amendments and additions were intended for. Our original nuisance ordinance dates
from the 1960s and may or may not still be in effect. Mayor Emeott said he had a draft
nuisance ordinance from the attorney, but nobody else had a copy.
We started by addressing methamphetamines and their cleanup. Mr. Rafferty asked if
this portion was necessary or if we were duplicating something that already deems meth
Look for us on the World Wide Web at gemlakemn.org
labs as illegal. Mayor Emeott and Councilwoman Artig-Swomley said this portion was
necessary so that the city has protocols in place to pass along cleanup costs to the
owner/perpetrator of the meth lab property. We also discussed how much are we willing
to define and if lack of definition provides a loophole for somebody's actions relating to
potential nuisances.
We next reviewed proposed section 1.2 and the definition of "noxious weeds as defined
by law or not." Many people have wooded areas or dandelions and are not really inclined
to want to deal with eradication of said weeds. We prefer a definition that parallels
Minnesota Statutes sections 18.76 through 18.88. This may very well preempt a resident
from having to remove "weeds" they may not want to remove.
Mr. Lindner asked Mayor Emeott to provide him with the copy of the remainder of the
nuisance ordinance and to schedule a public hearing for the March Planning Commission
meeting
Pawnbrokers
Because the city has listed pawnbrokers as requiring a license with an associated fee, our
attorney suggested we adopt an ordinance that spells out the administrative procedures
one needs to comply with in order to receive a pawnbroker license. The zoning
ordinance will also require a zoning district that will allow such an establishment to
operate in, probably as a conditional use. Both Retail Business and General Business
districts were suggested as possible locations. Again, this will receive a public hearing at
our March meeting.
Other ordinances
There are several other ordinances that will require drafting or modification based on our
1997 Comprehensive Plan and our city attorney's review of our existing ordinances.
Home occupations, streets, open space, environmental review, and more will all make
their way onto future agendas. Mr. Rafferty requested a list (either a checklist or a
scorecard) that shows what is the driving force behind including any such ordinance onto
our future agendas. Mayor Emeott already has a list he gleaned from the 1997 Comp
Plan that partially meets this request.
Unscheduled presentations
Hartford did not appear at our meeting. There was a general discussion on ordinances
that really didn't merit inclusion into the formal minutes (these items will all receive
Planning Commission attention at future meetings) so Mr. Lindner adjourned the meeting
at 8:30PM.
Jim Lindner
Planning Commission chair (Notice the lack of "interim" in this title. Mr. Lindner was
appointed the official chair for 2007 at the January Council meeting, and this was the first
meeting he conducted as the official chair. No fanfare was requested and none was
given.)

City of Gem Lake
Five -Year Capital Improvement Plan
2007 through 2011
I. INTRODUCTION
In 2003, the Minnesota State Legislature adopted a statute that generally
exempts municipal bonds issued under a capital improvement program from
the referendum requirements usually required for city halls, public works,
and public safety facilities. The 2005 Legislature added towns to the
meaning of a municipality and town halls and libraries to the meaning of a
capital improvement.
Ehlers & Associates, Inc. Page 3
II. PURPOSE
A capital improvement is a major expenditure of municipal funds for the
acquisition or betterment to public lands, buildings, or other improvements
used as a city hall, town hall, library, public safety, or public works facility,
which has a useful life of 5 years or more. For the purposes of Minnesota
Statutes, Section 475.521, capital improvements do not include light rail
transit or related activities, parks, road/bridges, administrative buildings
other than city or town halls, or land for those facilities. However, this plan
includes certain additional capital improvements beyond the scope of that
statute. A Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) is a document designed to
anticipate Capital Improvement expenditures and schedule them over a five-
year period so that they may be purchased in the most efficient and cost
effective method possible. A CIP allows the matching of expenditures with
anticipated income. As potential expenditures are reviewed, the municipality
considers the benefits, costs, alternatives and impact on operating
expenditures.
The City of Gem Lake, Minnesota (the "City") believes the capital
improvement process is an important element of responsible fiscal
management. Major capital expenditures can be anticipated and coordinated
so as to minimize potentially adverse financial impacts caused by the timing
and magnitude of capital outlays. This coordination of capital expenditures
is important to the City in achieving its goals of adequate physical assets and
sound fiscal management. In these financially difficult times good planning
is essential for the wise use of limited financial resources.
The Capital Improvement Plan is designed to be updated on an annual basis.
In this manner, it becomes an ongoing fiscal planning tool that continually
anticipated future capital expenditures and funding sources.
Ehlers & Associates, Inc. Page 4
III. THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLANNING PROCESS
The capital improvement planning process is as follows; the City Council
authorizes the preparation of the Capital Improvement Plan (CIP). The City
staff is instructed to assemble the capital expenditures to be undertaken
within the next five years. The City Council then reviews the expenditures
according to their priority, fiscal impact, and available funding. From this
information, a preliminary capital improvement plan is prepared. A public
hearing is held to solicit input from citizens and other governmental units.
Changes are made based on that input, and a final project list is established.
The City Council then prepares a plan based on the available funding
sources. If general obligation bonding is necessary, the City works with its
financial advisor to prepare a bond sale and repayment schedule. Over the
life of the CIP, once the funding becomes available, including proceeds from
the bond sales, the individual capital expenditures can be made.
In subsequent years, the process is repeated as expenditures are completed
and as new needs arise. Capital improvement planning looks five years into
the future.
For a municipality to use its authority to finance expenditures under Section
475.521, it must meet the requirements provided therein. Specifically, the
governing body must approve the sale of capital improvement bonds by a
3/5ths majority of its membership. In addition, it must hold a public hearing
for public input. Notice of such hearing must be published in the official
newspaper of the municipality at least 14, but not more than 28 days prior to
the date of the public hearing. In addition, the notice may be posted on the
City's official web site. The governing body approves the CIP following the
public hearing.
Although a referendum is not required, a reverse referendum is allowable. If
a petition bearing the signatures of at least 5 percent of the votes cast in the
last general election requesting a vote on the issuance of bonds is received
by the municipal clerk within 30 days after the public hearing, a referendum
vote on the issuance of the bonds shall be called (if a vote is taken and the
referendum passes, the taxes would be levied on market value rather than tax
capacity).
Ehlers & Associates, Inc. Page 5
IV. PROJECT SUMMARY
The expenditures to be undertaken with this Capital Improvement Plan (CIP)
are limited to those listed below. All other foreseeable capital expenditures
within the municipal government will come through other means. The
following expenditures have been submitted for inclusion in this CIP:
2007 Expenditures
• Joint Use City Hall Building $1,129,463.00
Any additional expenditures for 2007 and expenditures for 2008 through
2011 are not known at this time.
The statute has established certain criteria that must be met. Under these
criteria, the City has considered the following eight points:
1. Condition of the City's infrastructure and need for the project
2. Demand for the improvement
3. Cost of the improvement
4. Availability of public resources
5. Level of overlapping debt
6. Cost/benefits of alternative uses of funds
7. Operating costs of the proposed improvements
8. Options for shared facilities with other cities or local governments
The CIP is composed of projects that will preserve land located within the
City for a new city hall building and other uses, and allow the City's public
service operations more space in a new area. The City has analyzed the
eight points required per statute for each project on an individual basis and
as a whole. Their findings are as follows:
CITY HALL PROJECT
Conditions of City Infrastructure and Need for the Projects
Due to the increase in demand, additional space will be needed for a
building to include a site of voting in all elections with a portion of it being
used for township meetings and county sheriff services. The City currently
occupies space within a local business to conduct its meetings. City staff
currently operates from their homes to conduct City business. The ongoing
Ehlers & Associates, Inc. Page 6
increasing demands for service and additional space needs to accommodate
staff, equipment and materials also support the need for a new Joint Use City
Hall Building.
Demand for Projects
Due to increasing public awareness and escalating property values, a new
building is required to meet the demands of rapid population growth to
better serve the City's growing needs.
Estimated Cost of the Projects
See Project Summary for details of all project costs.
Availability of Public Resources
The city hall project is being funded by bond proceeds, township and county
funds.
Level of Overlapping Debt
The City currently has no overlapping CIP debt.
Relative Costs and Benefits of Alternative Uses of the Funds
This is a high priority due to the limited space available at this time. The
condition of the current building makes this project necessary for the City.
The cost of renting extra space for this type of facility makes it impractical.
There are no significant alternatives for funds designated for this project.
Operating Costs of the Proposed Improvements
All public service operation costs will increase as demand for these services
increases over time. Due to increases in physical dimensions of the new
proposed facility, operating costs will increase. A more energy efficient
building should help offset some of these increased costs.
Options for Shared Facilities with Other Cities or Local Government
The City will share the building with White Bear Township and the Ramsey
County Sheriffs Office for use as an interim town hall during renovation, as
Ehlers & Associates, Inc. Page 7
a site of voting in all elections, and as space for a county sheriff substation
with the capacity of being used for community based association meetings.
The project will benefit residents of the City, White Bear Township and
Ramsey County. This project is part of the City's 1997 Comprehensive Plan
to work with adjacent local governments to share costs of public facilities.
Ehlers & Associates, Inc. Page 8
V. FINANCING THE CAPITAL IMPROVEMENT PLAN
The total amount of requested expenditures under the Capital Improvement
Plan is approximately $1,129,463. If these expenditures are to be funded,
that amount of money is anticipated to be generated through $376,488 in
White Bear Township funds and the sale of approximately $785,000 in
bonds over the five-year period.
In the financing of the Capital Improvement Plan, two statutory limitations
apply. Under Chapter 475, with few exceptions, municipalities cannot incur
debt in excess of 2% of the assessor's taxable market value for the
municipality. However, Section 521 of Chapter 475 allows municipalities
with a population of fewer than 2,500 to be exempt from net debt limits. In
the City the population is 442. Therefore, the limitation on net debt does
apply. In the City the TMV is $78,235,400. Therefore, if the City were
subject to the net debt limit, the total amount of outstanding debt cannot
exceed $1,564,708. As of this date the City had $-0- subject to the legal
debt limit.
Another limitation on bonding under the Capital Improvement Plan Statute
(475.521) is that without referendum, the total amount that can be used for
principal and interest in any one year for CIP debt cannot exceed 0.16% of
the TMV for the municipality. In the City, that amount is $125,177
($78,235,400 x .0016).
The principal and interest payments are estimated to start at $47,038 in
calendar year 2008 and increase to a peak of $75,690 in the year 2023.
Under the Capital Improvement Plan, the City will secure approximately
$785,000 in general obligation bonds in the year 2007 to finance the Joint
Use City Hall Building. No additional general obligation bonds are
anticipated to be issued at this time. The general obligation bond issue will
be repaid over a 20-year period. The par amount of the issue is based on the
amount listed in Appendix A plus estimated issuance costs. The proposed
general obligation capital improvement bond (including issuance costs) is
shown in Appendix B.
Continuation of the Capital Improvement Plan
This Capital Improvement Plan should be reviewed annually by the City
Council using the process outlined in this Plan. It should review proposed
Ehlers & Associates, Inc. Page 9
expenditures, make priority decisions, and seek funding for those
expenditures it deems necessary for the City. If deemed appropriate, the
Council should prepare an update to this Plan.
Any future road work described in this Plan might constitute
"reconstruction" under Minnesota Statutes, Section 475.58, Subdivision 3a,
which would allow the issuance of bonds without an election even if there
are not planned special assessments for that work. However, this Capital
Improvement Plan would not meet the requirements for a five-year "street
reconstruction plan." If the City later plans to issue reconstruction bonds,
the City would need to prepare a separate reconstruction plan, or an
amendment to this Plan that specifically describes the streets to be
reconstructed.
Ehlers & Associates, Inc. Page 10
APPENDIX A
PROJECT COSTS
(Capital Expenditures to be funded with Bond Proceeds)
The 2007 capital expenditure of approximately $1,129,463 for the Joint
Use City Hall Building is to be funded with bond proceeds and $376,488 in
White Bear Township funds. This Building will be constructed for use as
an interim town hall during renovation, as a site of voting in all elections,
and as space for a county sheriff substation.
These expenditures are anticipated due to:
• Rapid population growth.
• Increased demand for services.
• Escalating property values.
• Increased awareness of needs by the public.

Resolution 2007-07
Resolution establishing limited sewer back-up, clean-up
and property damage protection for municipal sewer customers
WHEREAS, the city affords municipal sanitary sewer services to many of the property
owners within the city, and
WHEREAS, on occasion blockages or other conditions in the city sanitary sewer lines
may result in the back-up of sewage into properties that are connected to these city
sanitary lines, and
WHEREAS, sewer back-ups into property pose a public health and safety concern, and
WHEREAS, it is not always easy to discern the exact cause and responsibility for
municipal sanitary sewer back-ups, and
WHEREAS, the City Council desires to encourage the expeditious clean-up or properties
that have encountered sewer back-ups, and
WHEREAS, the City is a member of the League of Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust, and
WHEREAS, the League of Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust is making available to the
city a limited "no-fault" sewer coverage that will reimburse property owners for certain
clean-up cost and property damage irrespective of whether City is thought to be legally at
fault.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, by the City Council of the City of Gem Lake,
Minnesota, as follows.
As part of the contract for the provision of sewer services to the customers of the City
and in consideration of the payment of sewer bills, the City agrees to reimburse its
sanitary sewer customers for up to $ 10,000 of clean-up costs and property damages
caused by a sanitary sewer back-up, irrespective of whether the city is thought to be
negligent or otherwise legally liable for those damages, subject to the following
conditions:
Look for us on the World Wide Web at gemlakemn.org
a. The back-up must have resulted from a condition in the City's sanitary sewer
system or lines, and not from a condition in a private line.
b. The back-up must not have been caused by a catastrophic weather or other event
for which Federal Emergency Management Assistance is available
c. The back-up must not have been caused by an interruption in electric power to the
city's sewer system or to any city lift station, which continues for more than 72
hours
d. The back-up must not have been caused by rainfall or precipitation what would
constitute a 100-year storm as determined by the National Weather Service
e. Neither the city nor the League of Minnesota Cities Insurance Trust (LMCIT) will
reimburse any costs which have been or are eligible to be covered under the
property owner's own homeowners or other property insurance, or which would
be eligible to be reimbursed under a National Flood Insurance Protection ( NFIP)
policy, whether or not the property owner actually has NFIP coverage
f. The maximum amount that the City or LMCIT will reimburse is $ 10,000 per
building per year. In this regard, a structure of group of structures served by a
single connection to the city's sewer system is considered a single building.

Paul -
I received these items from Ric Rosow today, along with a voice mail explaining the issue. It appears to be a
simple recording error, and the declaration will be transferred to the appropriate lot through execution of the
"Release of Declaration," for which Mr. Rosow seeks your signature. There does not appear to me to be any
reason not to sign the document and move the restriction to Lot 26 if that is where it was intended to go.
Mr. Rosow sent the amendment and stipulation to Mr. McNulty, and we should hopefully see those soon. Mr.
Rosow would also like a copy of the signed resolution for his files.
I am available to discuss any of these items if you want to give me a call.
Thanks,

Dear Trevor:
As I explained in my voice mail a Declaration of Restrictions and Covenants for Replacement Wetland
was incorrectly filed against Lot 1, Block 1, Hillary Farm. It should have been filed against Lot 26,
Block 1, Hillary Farm. I am attaching the original Declaration filed as Doc. No. 3848118, the
replacement Declaration which Jim McNulty will executed at the closing on the sale of Lot 1 on Friday
and have the closer at Old Republic file against Lot 26, Block 1, and a Release of the original
Declaration which Jim will also execute and which the Closer at Old Republic requires be executed by
the City. We would appreciate if the Mayor could execute this prior to Friday. Jim McNulty will
arrange to pick up the executed document. Please call me after you have returned to the office and
reviewed the Release so we can discuss if this is possible. I am in this morning but out at a city client
