SUBJECT: Add-on Agenda for December 18, 1984
Three consent calendar and four regular agenda items are recommended for
addition to this evening's agenda. There is also additional information for
Items 7b. - Contel Building Permit and 7c. - Grappendorf Final Plat
3. Adoption of Agenda
It is recommended that Council adopt the agenda with the addition of Item 6j. -
Acceptance of gift for Police and Fire departments; 6k. - Authorization for disposal
of Police department unclaimed property; 61. - Acknowledgement of plan for ski trail
grooming; 7cl�. - Resolution authorizing sale for Industrial Development Bonds for
Linvill project; 7j. - Request for rental of space in old fire station; 71. - Resolution

6j. - ACCEPTANCE OF GIFT FOR POLICE AND FIRE DEPARTMENTS
Attached is a memo from Chief Delmont, noting receipt of the annual gift from Mrs.
Orloski, 682 Callahan Place. It is recommended that Council pass a motion accepting the
gift.
6k. - AUTHORIZATION FOR SALE OF POLICE DEPARTMENT UNCLAIMED PROPERTY
Attached is a memo from Chief Delmont requesting Council authorization for the sale
of 20 unclaimed bicycles and other miscellaneous property through Laumeyer's Auction
House in Mendota. Their fee is usually 257, but they will drop it to 157 for the City.
It is recommended that Council authorize the sale.
61. - ACKNOWLEDGE PLAN FOR SKI TRAIL GROOMING
Last year Council granted approval for the Parks Commission to have the cross-country
ski trails at Friendly Hills and Valley Parks groomed twice. However, the County Park
Department, the only vendor the Commission could find, was unable to do it. Once
again this year, the County has indicated thaty they will be unable to contract service
to the City.
Public Works employee John Neska owns a Cushman Trackster, and has offered to do the
grooming at $135 per time. The Parks Commission feels the rate is reasonable, and has
voted to seek Council authorization to spend up to $270 having the trails groomed this
year.
While Public Works Superintendent Ploumen and I have no problem with Mr. Neska
providing this service to the City, there are legal and insurance complications when
the City contracts extra services with its own employees. Therefore, we are continuing
to work out the details, including the possibility of paying John through regular payroll,
then simply renting his machine as we would any other piece of equipment. Depending on
- 2 -
the final scheme pursued, the matter may or may not need to come -before the Council
for final approval.
The purpose of this agenda item is to inform Council of this pending arrangement,
and seek your concurrence with the general.concept. No formal action is required at
this time.
7b. - CONTEL BUILDING PERMIT
Copies of Contel's documents were provided to City Planner Howard Dahlgren for
comment. Based on his review, Howard has suggested that the Council motion approving
the permit include two additional conditions:
1. Submission of a moire complete landscaping plan, including provision for foliage
on the north and west sides of the building; and
2. The right of the City to require additional parking spaces up to full Code• -
requirement, at a later date, should parking become a problem.
I will be prepared to discuss these issues at more length should Council desire.
7c. - AUTHORIZATION FOR TRASH REMOVAL FROM GRAPPENDORF PROPERTY
Attached for your information is an authorization signed by Mrs. Grappendorf,
relative to the removal of trash from her property.
761. - INDUSTRIAL DEVELOPMENT BONDS FOR LINVILL OFFICE PROJECT
Attached is a memo from City Treasurer Shaughnessy outlining the Council action
required to complete the sale of IDB's for the Linvill Office project, located at the
southwest corner of Pilot Knob Road and Perron Road.
7j. - REQUEST FOR RENTAL OF PARKING SPACE IN OLD FIRE STATION
Please see attached memo.
71. - RESOLUTION ADOPTING DELINQUENT SEWER BILL ASSESSMENTS
Attached is a resolution for assessing delinquent sewer bills. It is recommended
that Council adopt the resolution.
;;
7m. - RESIGNATION OF FIREFIGHTER PAUL MACZKO

FROM: Dennis J. Delmont, Chief of Police
SUBJECT: Gift
Again, as in past years, we have received a generous donation of $500.00 from
Bertha Orloski, 682 Callahan Place. This money is to be shared by the Police
and Fire Departments.
Request permission to accept $250.00 to be used for the general betterment
of the department. If approved, I will again convey our thanks to Mrs. Orloski.
MEMORANDUM
December 17; 1984--
TO:
984"TO: Mayor, City Council, City Adm�1'at r
FROM: Dennis J. Delmont, Chief of Police
SUBJECT: Unclaimed Property
Introduction
The Police Department requests Council's permission to sell 20 unclaimed bicycles
and other unclaimed property through Laumeyer's Auction House in Mendota.
His tory
In the past several years we have accumulated 29 bicycles that were found and have
been unclaimed. Efforts to locate owners through stolen files and Operation
Identification have failed and storage is an increasing problem. Dates of
recovery range from 1980 to 1983.
Discussion
Mendota Heights City Ordinance #912 provides for the sale of such items at Public
Auction with proper advertisement and after a period of six months. We would
not sell anything that has been in our possession less than one year. Because of
the small amount of goods we have to sell, it would not do well for us to have
our own auction. Laumeyer will incorporate our property into a larger auction
and sell it for a fee.
Alternatives
1. Attempt to sell the property through a local auction with the costs
of the auctioneer and bookkeeping being about the same.
2. Donate the property to a charitable organization.
3. To continue to hold the property until there is a large enough
accumulation for a "Mendota Heights City Auction".
Recommendation
Consign the property to Laumeyer's Auction House for sale. Whatever property
that could be used by City Departments (hand tools, firearms, etc.) would be
retained for that purpose.
Action Required
City Council approval to sell or otherwise dispose of (City use) unclaimed
property that has been in our possession over one year.

SUBJECT: Ralph Linvill IR Financing
(Dakota Business Plaza)
HISTORY
The Council, in September, gave preliminary authorization of an issue of
IR Bonds for Ralph Linvill and Associates in an amount not to exceed $2,700,000.
In October, Linvill Associates posted with the Cite the State required fee in
the amount of $25,000 to cover an issue of $2,500,000.
® DISCUSSION
The final documents for the proposed issue have been completed and reviewed
where appropriate by City Staff and the City Attorney. The final issue has been
reduced to $2,300,000 due to the size of the building allowable on the site. The
issue must be completed prior to December 31 to qualify under our 1984 IR gond
allotment:
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council adopt the resolution authorizing
the project and directing the issuance of the bonds and signature of the

FROM: Kevin D. Fraz�`��-
City Administrator
SUBJECT: Space Rental in Old Fire Hall
It appears unlikely that we will be doing anything with the old fire hall
this winter. The Police Department intends to partition off two small bays
in the back and maintain minimal heat for the squads. Mechanical systems in
the rest of the building will be shut down.
Attached is a letter from Harry Kirchner, of Fischer's Gas and Towing,
requesting rental of two bays for the housing of tow trucks. Harry has indicated
that unheated space would be acceptable.
I have contacted three storage rental firms in the area. They charge rates of
$65 to $70 per month for a 10' by 20' space. Harry has agreed that a monthly rent
of $140 for the two bays would be acceptable.
I have also contacted our insurance carrier to see if they have any concerns.
The agent's only suggestion was that we get a hold harmless agreement, protecting
the City from liability arising from any damage to the tow trucks.
ACTION REQUIRED
If Council concurs with the request, it should pass a motion authorizing the
rental of two bays in the old fire station to Fischer's Towing at a rate of
$140 per month, subject to execution of a hold harmless agreement.

survey. Of that percentage, 36 households, or 61% were
eligible for assistance from CDBG funds. He recommended to
the Council that a grant application of $70,000 should be
applied for. $65,000 would be for a direct subsidy to
approximately 50 households, and $5,000 would be for
administrative costs to the HRA. He noted that the funding
could be handled as a grant, or as an interest-free loan,

repayments necessary.

CHERRY HILLS SECOND The Council acknowledged a report from the City Engineer
ADDITION DRAINAGE regarding Cherry Hill Second Addition surface water
runoff. Mr. Adolphus Gaddy, Mr. Les Calkins, and Mr. Ron
Nordstrand, residents of the area, were present for the
discussion.
Mr. Calkins stated that until a very heavy rain occurred
two weeks ago he had no knowledge of what problems could
occur but that he did have drainage problems as a result
of the heavy rains. Mr. Nordstrand felt that only
alternatives A, B, and E in the report constitute perma-
nent solutions. All three of the residents felt that
Scheme E, blocking the existing Wachtler Avenue culvert
and diverting the water northward along the east side of
Wachtler Avenue was the appropriate solution.
Councilman Hartmann suggested that P.V.C. pipe left over
from the Ivy Falls Creek project could be used under
Scheme B to reduce costs significantly. Public Works
Director Danielson agreed but pointed out that several
costs in addition to the pipe costs are involved,
including acquisition of an easement from the Wachtler
family.
In response to the residents' preference for Scheme E,
Mayor Lockwood pointed out that plugging the culvert could
cause the water to cross private properties and cause
problems for other property owners. It was also pointed
out that County approval of the Scheme would be required.
Councilwoman Blesener stated that a permanent solution
must be found which will channel the water through the
neighborhood, that the City cannot plug the existing
system and create other problems.
Mr. Gaddy and Mr. Nordstrand expressed their opposition to
Schemes C and D. Mr. Gaddy stated that he is not
interested in paying to control water which comes from the
Cherry Hill First Addition.
After discussion, staff was directed to make inquiries of
the County to determine whether Scheme E can be
accomplished.
MARIE AVENUE SPEED The Council acknowledged and discussed a memo from the
Public Works Director with response to a complaint from
Alan Anderson, 721 W. Marie Avenue, over the speed limit
on Marie Avenue. Councilwoman Blesener felt that the 30
mile per hour limit should not end at Dodd Road, but
should be extended to Trail Road..
Further discussion on the matter was tabled to the next
meeting, with direction that the suggested 30 mile per
ti

FIRE STATION The Council acknowledged a memo from the City •Engineer
"SITE DRAINAGE regarding the potential future need for a storm water

PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS Public Works Director recommending approval of Change
Order No. 2 for the Evergreen Knoll project to provide for

PRESENTATION BY Mr. Steve Gage, President of Garron Corporation, began by presenting a
® GARRON slide show of the National Association of Industrial and Office Parks
CORPORATION describing the development process. He also gave the Council and
Commission some background information on Garron Corporation, in-
cluding their most recent development, Creek Ridge in west Bloomington.
Mr. Gage then went on to describe the development that Garron would
like to do on the Gould property at the end of the Mendota Bridge. He
indicated that they had considered anything from 50,000 square feet up
to 200,000 square feet. He said that Garron felt the site was a good
one because of the beautiful vista overlooking the Twin Cities area.
He said that they would like to have a major anchor tenant to occupy
most of the office space, since this project would be competing with
the almost two million square feet of office space now under construc-
tion along the 494 strip in Bloomington. He added that four to five
possible tenants had been out to look at the site, and all had expres-
sed a good deal of interest.
Mr. Gage said that they had looked at a number of types of development
on the site, and added that 75 to 100,000 square feet of office space
could be accommodated with surface parking. Anything beyond that
amount would require a structured parking ramp, which could make the
project financially unfeasible.
The first development concept they looked at was totally within the
development restrictions for the B-lA zoning classification currently
on the land and the 45 foot height restriction. This would allow
Garron to build a three story or. 42 foot high office tower with a ver.:
large footprint and about 90,000 square feet.
Page No. 2150
November 29, 1984
Mr. Gage said that Garron would like the City to consider a variance
to that to allow a building of 6 to 7 stories, something around 90 to
100 feet tall, and 115,.000 square feet of office space. He indicated
that such a building would probably be of glass and aluminum
construction. ' {".
Mr. Gage said that the maximum development potential of the site would
be around 200,000 square feet, which Garron would probably develop as
a twin -tower concept, with a 600 car parking ramp.
Mr. Gage said that as far as Garron was concerned, the critical issues
for consideration by the City were:
1. Would the Council and Commission consider a redesignation in the
Comprehensive Land Use plan from residential to business developmen,
2. Could access from Highway 55 be improved.
3. Would the City be willing to entertain proposals for variance for
height restrictions.
4. Were there any problems in connection with the wetland swale on
the site.
5. Would the City consider tax increment assistance for installat
of utilities and/or assistance in building the parking structure
required for a larger development.
PLANNING City Planner Howard Dahlgren responded that the original Comprehensive
PRESENTATION Plan of 1959 had designated this area for business development. He
said that it was changed to multi -family residential in the 1979 pl,nrl,
because for the 12 years prior to that time, Gould Corporation had
attempted to sell the site, and found the only interest was for hous-
ing development. Most office developments during this time period
were going into the two downtown areas. Mr. Dahlgren said that that
had now changed and there were more office projects being constr.ucte;?
in the suburbs, therefore the zoning had been left as a business
designation. He said he did not think that traffic created would be
problem for either residential or business development, but that it
would probably be important to improve the access from Highway 55 to
Acacia Boulevard if this would be a business development.
Planner Dahlgren and Public Works Director Jim Danielson also
indicated that the "wetlands" on this property was not really a
designated wetlands but simply a swale for drainage, and the only
problem in developing was to assure that the viability of the drainage
way was maintained.
Mr. Shaughnessy said that the total tax increment subsidy for the
project, if those parcels east of Pilot Knob Road are eventually
developed, falls very much in line with that amount originally
anticipated in the tax increment district plao.
In his analysis of the revenues and expenditures, Mr. Shaughnessy said
that a 100,000 square foot building could rapidly repay the utility
u��x coot subsidy (about 3 years). 8e added ���� including a project for
���� ` ' ^
`�~ assistance in the parking ramp would require a supplement and
amendment to the tax increment plan, which would have to be submitted
to the school district and County for comment.
Mr. Shaughnessy said that u I50,000 square toot building, with
commensurate utility and parking facility assistance could also be
paid back within a reasonable period, approximately 5 yaaza, The
assistance needed to develop a 200,000 square foot building could take
almost 17 years for repayment.
.City Administrator FzaoeII commented that the figures for a parking
subsidy presented in the staff memos assumed that the City would be
paying the full cost for construction of those structures. He said
that the developer had not necessarily asked for that, nor had it been
proven that that level of subsidy would be necessary. He suggested
.
that if the Council was amenable to considering a tar increment
subsidy, tbe'City would probably want to see a proforma on the project
to see just what level of subsidy would be needed to make it
/
financially feasible~ Administrator Frazell said that some cities had
\
also structured tax increment subsidies in such a way that it was
partially o loan, repaid to the City, rather than totally a direct
grant.

ENGINEERING
Public Works Director Danielson gave a description of the proposed
PRDSD0TAIZU0
four stages of utility service installation envisioned in the feasi-
bility report, including immediate service for the site to be de-
veloped by Gazrou. Mr. Danielson indicated that eventually, the voter
line should be looped back to Lexington Avenue. He also said that u
sewage lift station would be required at the high point on Pilot Knob
_
/
Road.
�
FINANCE
Mc. Shaughnessy indicated that part of the original thinking in
CONSIDERATIONS
establishing a tax increment district was to assist in paying utility
assessments for lands that would be difficult to serve, so that the
coat to the developer would be only that for a "usual" property.
Under the feaability report as prepared by the City Engineering
department, the proposed assessment per acre for Garroo would be
around $10,000, which he said was very equivalent to what was paid for
the Mo/DOT garage and the United Properties developments.
Mr. Shaughnessy said that the total tax increment subsidy for the
project, if those parcels east of Pilot Knob Road are eventually
developed, falls very much in line with that amount originally
anticipated in the tax increment district plao.
In his analysis of the revenues and expenditures, Mr. Shaughnessy said

Mr. Gage commented that the project simply would not be financially
feasible if the developer had to bear all the cost of the structured
ramp parking. He said that he thought a larger project -would be more
aesthetically pleasing on the site, and that both the developer and
the City would have to consider what financially made sense for them.
GENERAL Mayor Lockwood indicated that he thought this was an important site,
DISCUSSION OF serving as the "gateway" into Mendota Heights. In general, he said he
ISSUES AND CITY thought a 100,000 square foot structure would be too small for this
POLICY site, and that a more substantial development, such as the twin -tower
discussed would be more aesthetically pleasing.
Councilman Hartmann indicated that he had no problem with the,tax
increment district subsidizing the utility costs, but was skeptical
about getting into subsidizing a parking garage. However,,.he
indicated that he would be willing to consider a proposal.'
Councilwoman Blesener said that she shared Councilman Hartmann's
concern, but would be willing to look at a proposal. Her word to the
developer was to proceed cautiously.
After some discussion, the developers agreed that they would like to
have the City proceed with a public hearing on the feasibility report
for public utility installation. It was agreed that this would be
placed on the Council agenda of December 4th, for the purpose of
setting a public hearing date at the second meeting in January.
Mayor Lockwood summarized the meeting by saying that there seemed to
be tacit agreement among the Planning Commission and City Council L'ML
the developer should.proceed with their concepts for the project.
ADJOURN There being no further business to come before the Council;
Councilwoman Blesener moved that the meeting be adjourned.

CASE NO. 84-25, Mr. and Mrs. Warren Rush were present to request approval of a
RUSH wetlands permit to allow construction of a residence on Lot 3,
Willow Springs Addition, 57 feet from a drainageway rather than
100 feet as is required by the Wetlands Ordinance.
Several Council members were concerned over the potential for a
wet basement. Public Works Director Danielson stated that he
believes all potential problems have been addressed, that the
proposed grades are such that drainage should be towards the
street and should have no impact on the creek, neighboring
properties or the basement. He also stated that a drainage
easement has been prepared and submitted to the Rushes for
execution.
After discussion, Councilman Hartmann moved that the public
hearing requirement be waived and that the wetlands permit,
including a 43 foot variance from the wetlands setback
requirement be granted based on the plot plan dated November
20, 1984, conditioned upon receipt of the executed drainage
easment.

CASE NO. 84-21, Mr. Floyd Unruh, representing-Eveline Grappendorf, was present
GRAPPENDORF to request approval of a preliminary plat for the subdivision
of property located on the west side of Delaware Avenue north
of Ridgewood Drive. Mr. Unruh explained that a new proposed
plat has been prepared since the Planning Commission meeting.
The new plan reflects the Commission recommendation that the
land be platted into three parcels: two outlots and one lot
which is already developed. He explained that the developed
lot consists of approximately one and one-third acres, Outlot A
is approximately four and one-half acres, and Outlot B is
approximately 2 acres.
It was noted that Outlot B is primarily swampland and would not
be a buildable lot. The Public Works Director stated that the
drainageway on Outlot A falls within the City's Wetlands area
and therefore within the Wetlands Ordinance requirements. He
also pointed out that access and utility extensions are only
available to Outlot A from Ridgewood Drive.
Mr. Erdrich, potential buyer of the developed lot, stated that
there is an illegal dumpsite at the back of the lot and asked
that the City require clean-up of the site before the final
plat is approved. Mr. Unruh agreed that the problem should be
addressed and stated that he will recommend to the property
owner that the dumpsite be taken care of before the property
sold. He indicated that his client would be willing to submt.
an escrow to ensure clean-up of the dumpsite and will work out
the details with City staff.
Administrator Frazell stated that there is no requirement f(.
park contribution for the subdivision since the Council wou<i`
not be approving any buildable lots except the one, which j,
already developed.
After discussion, Councilwoman Blesener moved approval of tho
preliminary plat for the Grappendorf subdivision dated December
3, 1984 conditioned upon receipt of a letter prior to final
plat approval guaranteeing that the dumpsite located on Lot 1,
Block 1 will be eliminated.

RECESS Mayor Lockwood called for a recess at 9:00 P.M.
The meeting was reconvened at 9:09 P.M.
FEASIBILITY STUDY The Council acknowledged and discussed a memo from the Public
Works Director recommending that a feasibility hearing on
proposed public improvements to serve the Gould site on Pilot
Knob Road be conducted on January 15th.
Mr. Don Markel, representing the Garron Corporation, stated
Page No. 215 7
December 4, 1984
stated that his firm has entered into a purchase agreement with
Gould and that they cannot firm up plans for development of the
site until public utilities are available.

proposals made by the Garron Corporation at the November 29th
joint Council/Planning Commission meeting.
Councilwoman Witt moved the adoption of Resolution No. 84-80,

MENDOTA INTERCHANGE The Council acknowledged and discussed a memo from the Public
Works Director regarding the Mendota Interchange project and
recommending that Council direct preparation of a letter
requesting that Acacia Boulevard be made an at -grade

concern ave
-pposed at -grade intersectionjof T.H. 55 and
as
T.H. 110 R -A why a diamond intersection with a bridge
over T.H. 110 cannot be constructed.
The Council directed staff to contact Mn/DOT, asking them to
address the question raised by Councilwoman Blesener and attend
a future meeting to discuss Mendota Interchange Project
concerns.
COMPARABLE WORTH The Council acknowledged and discussed a memo from the City
Administrator regarding the legislative mandate that all
political subdivisions evaluate and implement comparable worth
for their employees. In the memo, Administrator Frazell
recommended that the City participate in a joint comparable
worth study proposed to be implemented by the Metropolitan Area
Managers' Association. He stated that 57 cities have decided
to participate in the study and that the anticipated cost for
Mendota Heights participation would be $3,700 to $4,100.
Mayor Lockwood stated that he objects to the proposal; since
the Legislature mandated preparation of a comparable worth
study but provided no funding, he felt that the City should do
the best it can without outside consulting. The Council
members indicated that they also object to such mandates but
their consensus was that the City should join in the M.A.M.A.
study.
PERSONNEL On the recommendation of the City Administrator, Councilman
Hartmann moved to approve an increase in the annual

Commission has expressed similar concerns and has asked staff
to review recreation services. He informed the Council that
the subject of recreation programming will be studied in 1985
and that a recommendation will be made by next summer.
It was the consensus of the Council that the salary and car
allowance for the Recreation Director should be removed from
the 1985 salary and benefit resolution.

Synopsis of Monthly Runs
The Department responded to 16 calls during the month of November. We had
two;^fires that resulted in fire loss. The first was on November 6, at 1758 Sutton
Lane, a clothes drier full of clothes caught on fire. The flames remained in
the drier and were extinguished with a hand extinguisher. Our second fire loss
was on the 494 construction site. A large road scraper, owned by Johnson Brothers
Construction, caught fire and sustained an estimated $18,000 damage. The fire
was kept under control by one of the City Employees with a portable extinguisher
until the truck arrived and extinguished the fire.
Synopsis of Monthly Drill
— The monthly drill was used to drill on the house at 630 Highway 13. Training
involved the use of scott air pacs, ladders and ventilation. On November 17,
Minnesota Fire, Inc. put on a demonstration of a new product called "Fire,Out".-
This product helps to lower the boiling point of water, thus absorbing more heat
and extinguishing the fire quicker. A representative from "Fire Out" video taped--
the..drill and will use parts of the film for national advertising.
The monthly rescue drill was used to work with the "Jaws of Life". A vehicle
was obtained and the men practiced with the tool.on extrication of victims.

In absence of Craig Kinney, Chairman Zemke stated that the balance of the
checking account was $12,943,78 and the reason for this is that the Certi[i-
caLe of Deposit had expired and to continue to dzo« interest it was de-
posited in the checking account.. He also submitted a bill from -the --City of
Mendota Heights .in the amount of $736.46 for secretarial services, postage-,
copy costs, and mileage for 1984.
Lanegran moved, seconded by Harrison to pay City of Mendota Heights bill in
the amount of $736.46. Voting: 9,ayes 0 nays. Motion carried.
Chairman Zemke addressed the bill from Anita Stech which the Commission
previously paid a portion of the bill in an amount of $4,0,42.00 and that the
balance to be held until an itemized statement and contract copy was re-
ceived from Anita Stech. Chairman Zemke presented the itemized statement
and contract to the Commission.
In regard to the consultants from CTIC meeting with the Commission to ex-
plain the technical and financial aspects of the proposals Tatone stated
that he though that Stech quoted $750.00 per consultant but that the bill is
double that. He also stated that if he would have known it would have cost
$3400.00 he would have reconsidered to having them here. He also questioned
the evaluation of proposed charges stating that costs are duplicated in the
$15000.00 contract and the evaluation of proposal contract.
Lanegran recommended that the Executive Committee look over the bill for
duplications and make a recommendation to the Commission.
Baird asked if the Commission would be willing to pay a part of that bill.
Lanegran stated she had no trouble with that.
( Chairman Zemke stated that the total CTIC bill included time when they were
not in the Twin Cities for the Commission meeting.
After some considerable discussion Hanson moved, seconded by Lanegran to pay
the outstanding balance to Anita Benda Stech as of June 30, 1984. Voting:
8 ayes 1 nay - Tatone. Motion carried.
6. Chairman Zemke addressed the Franchise Ordinance item by stating that the
draft committee has made progress, but that the City Attorney's meeting was
only attended by one City Attorney.
Hanson asked John Gibbs if he was going to write an executive summary, if
that is the case he stated he would vote against that expense because he
felt that the Cities were paying their attorneys to read the franchise
ordinance and that if they are going to recommend to the City Councils to
adopt or not adopt the ordinance they should know what the ordinance con-
tains. Henderson agreed with Hanson.
Chairman Zemke stated that it is a summary of differences between the pre-
liminary franchise (which was approved two years ago) ordinance and the
final one. .�
r.'•
Hanson stated that the City Attorney should be concerned with the ordinance
itself not the before and after differences.

T

John Gibbs outlined the process by stating that it was thought to facilitate
the process if the ordinance was highlighted for the City Attorneys, the
differences between the preliminary and the final and to meet with them to
discuss any concerns they may have and be able to submit to the City Coun-
cils by the first Wednesday in September and to MCCB by the second Friday in
November. Gibbs stated that he felt that the Commission has an obligation
to help them be informed as to the changes between the preliminary and final
ordinance.
r
Tatone stated that his concern was that the Commission don't open up policy
decisions again because he wasn't sure if the Commission could change them
even if they wanted to. He also asked how long is the Commission going to
give the City Attorneys to read the ordinance.
Gibbs suggested that the Commission set a timeline.
Lanegran stated she would support highlighting if it would expedite the
process.
Harrison suggested that the Attorneys be give the proposal and if they need
clarification or have questions they should contact the Commission's legal
counsel.
Lanegran suggested that we give the City Attorney a timetable.
Gibbs stated that in order for the MCCB to certify the following has to
occur. 1) All cities have to adopt the ordinance. 2) Cable companies
have had to get their insurance policies, etc. 3) Thirty days notice must
be give to the Cable Board for them to consider. Gibbs also stated it would
be a mistake to give notice to the Cable Board without all seven cities
having adopted the ordinance.
Robert Sachs of Continental asked how many readings of the ordinance must be
done and publications.
Henderson responded by stating that statutory cities must have three read-
ings and charter cities two readings.
Gibbs stated that rarely do cities publish before for the second or third
readings.
After some additional discussion the following timetable was suggested:
Franchise Ordinance Draft Committee to complete their activities by August
15, mailing to Attorney's by August 20. Attorney meetings completed by
September 7. Full Commission meeting for approval - September 19. Distri-
bution to cities by September 24.
Gibbs stated that three copies will go to cities. (One copy to cable repre-
sentatives and one to city clerk).
7. Lanegran moved, seconded by Baird that the next full Commission meeting be
on September 19, 1984 at 7:30 P.M. Voting: 9 ayes 0 nays. Motion carried.

0. Iatone asked John Gibbs to explain what the final franchise ordinance will
contain and the procedures.
Gibbs stated that the franchise ordinance dated September 30, 1984, dues
embody the changes submitted to you and the changes given to the Commission
tonight are changes since the September 10th meeting.
Gibbs stated that the City attorneys that have attended the meetings --have
signed off on'the franchise ordinance. "He met with'the attorney from"West
�- St. Paul at the first meeting and he,did raise.come,concerns, some are
rembodied in the draft, some were policy matters and since.,that first meeting
he has not heard from the West St. Paul attorney regarding any other con-
cerns.
Gibbs also stated that he met with Continental attorney today and they feel
comfortable with the franchise ordinance. The drafting committee also
recommends approval with the changes given in the handout. The draft fran-
chise ordinance has had the review of the MCCB, Continental's Washington,
Boston and Minnesota counsel, and all City attorneys. The drafting committee
has recommended adoption.
Walker asked Gibbs what West St. Paul's City attorney concerns were on 12.02
and 12.03.
Gibbs stated that the attorney's concern was that the commission should
negotiate a lower purchase price for the cities than was in the Franchise
Ordinance. His second concern was the definition of bona -fide offer.' Defi-
nition should be modified to reflect the actual purchase agreement in hand.
He also stated that the draft has been adjusted to address this concern.
Bruestle asked Continental if they have had any experience in selling a
franchise.
Robert Sachs of Continental stated that in 21 years, they have never sold a
system.
t Hanson questioned the language of the last paragraph on page 21. He felt it
should read "Such names and addresses may be changed by either party upon
notice to the other party given as provided in this section."
Tatone opened the public hearing for public comments on the franchise ordi-
nance. ;1�
Being there were no comments from the audience, Vice -Chairman Tatone closed
the hearing.
Hanson asked Gibbs, being that the franchise ordinance has to be published,
can the cities whose legal newspaper is the Sun, can their mayors and -clerks
sign off on the same document and have it published just once.
Gibbs stated that with certain modifications, if they are adopted identi-
cally, the only changes would be the names, but that is a question that
should be answered within the confines of the City Charters. Another thing
that can be done is to publish a summary of the ordinance but the Councils
must adopt the summary by a 4/5 vote, along with the franchise ordinance as
well.
Henderson asked if the appendices should be published.
Gibbs stated that it was the consensus of the City attorneys that the
appendices be published with the ordinance.
2
Walker was still concerned about West St. Paul's attorneys questions and
felt he couldn't vote on the adoption of the ordinance.
Tatone stated that even if the commission does adopt the ordinance, it still
has to be adopted by each city and that the franchise ordinance draft
committee is recommending the commission adopt the ordinance.
Gibbs stated that he has heard no legal objection from the West St Paul City
Attorney about any provision including the one he raised on policy.
Tatone stated that the drafting committee discussed the West St. Paul City
Attorney concerns, cleared the language with him, sent copies of the changes
and he just has not attended any of the other meetings or made a phone call
objecting to it.
Kinney moved, seconded by Weiss, to adopt the September 10, 1984 draft
franchise ordinance with the changes submitted to the commission, any typo-
graphical errors and the corrections to the changes.

PARK AND RECREATION COMMISSION
MINUTES
NOVEMBER 13, 1984
The regular meeting of the Mendota Heights Park and Recreation Commission was
called to order at 7:30 p.m. by Chairperson Stein. The following members were
present: Stein, Doffing, Knittig, McMonigal, Schneeman and Singer. Williams was
absent. Also present were Terry Blum, Jim Danielson and Dewey Selander.
APPROVAL OF Minutes of the October 9, 1984 meeting were approved as
MINUTES submitted.
MEETING WITH Stein summarized the meeting he had with City Administrator
RECREATION Frazell and Recreation Director Selander. Frazell will assist
DIRECTOR Selander in the selection of rink attendants and the attendants
chosen will be expected to abide by set guidelines. Violations
will be disciplined accordingly. The Director is expected to
visit the rinks at night as often as possible. The police force
will be requested to make a stop at each rink each evening.
ICE RINK GUIDELINES The Commission adopted the following guidelines for ice rink
activities:
1. There will be no hockey on the pleasure rinks except for
younger children if it does not interfere with pleasure
skaters.
2. Hockey takes precedent over boot hockey on the hockey rinks.
Enforcement of these guidelines will be at the discretion
of the individual rink attendants.
3. The skating rinks at Wentworth and Ivy Falls will be divided
in half like last year to accommodate various interests.
4. Organized groups wishing to reserve a rink may contact
Kim at City Hall, where they will be scheduled and sent a
confirmation letter.
PARK MAINTENANCE Terry Blum reported that the ice rink surfaces have been leveled
REPORT and are ready to go. Ice flooding will begin at 4:00 a.m., as
last year. The wood duck boxes on "Joanie's Pond" were moved
since the trees that they were attached to fell in the last
severe storm. The electrical boxes in Ivy Falls, Friendly Hills
and Marie Park need new back panels to prevent possible injury.
Rink lights are ready as are the two ski trails. The tennis
courts at Rogers Lake are splitting and will need resurfacing
next spring.
BIKE TRAIL The Commission reviewed the letter that they requested Mr.
Danielson send to Mn/DOT indicating the change in the bike
trail route. Since the route has been altered, the Commission
Park and Recreation Commission Minutes, November 13, 1984 Page Two
requested staff to update, by the next meeting, the cost
estimates for the corridor between Marie Avenue and Mendota
Heights Road.
REQUEST FOR PLAY- Residents near Marie Park requested playground equipment fdr
GROUND EQUIPMENT pre-school children. Since the Commission addressed this
issue previously, the decision not to add this equipment to
this or any other park stands as is.
DOWNTOWN TASK FORCE McMonigal reported that the corridor for the proposed TH 149
will be left as open space east of Friendly Hills. Mendakota
Country Club is considering the sale of their property at Dodd
and TH 110, where a shopping center with specialty shops may
be constructed. A future City Hall would be located north of
TH 110 and east of Dodd Road.
RECREATION REPORT Dewey Selander reported there are presently eight applicants
for rink attendants. The meeting for beginning a Senior
Citizens Club will be held November 21st. Couples Volleyball
needs more participants or it will have to be cancelled.
MISCELLANEOUS Singer read the letter he received from Dakota County Parks
indicating they will be unable to groom the City cross country
ski trails this winter.
The next meeting of the Park and Recreation Commission will
on December 11, 1984 at 7:30 P.M.
ADJOURN There being no further business to come before the Commission,
the meeting was adjourned.
Respectfully submitted, -

TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Kevin D. Fraze
City Adminis ator
December 11, 1984
SUBJECT: Payment to Robert W. Moore for Repair of Overflow Culvert of Ivy Falls
Creek Improvement
At the previous meeting, Council discussed a claim from Mr. Robert W. Moore,
for payment of repair to a culvert at Somerset Country Club on March 12, 1980.
The City had been served with notice of suit from Mr. Moore in the amount of
$2,836.33. It was Council's consensus that Mayor Lockwood should attempt to
reach an amicable settlement with Mr. Moore.
The Mayor has now done so, and Moore has agreed to accept payment in the
amount of $1,933.33, which was his original billing to the City for rental of
the grout pump and the grout for repairs. There were no further charges for
labor or equipment.
This payment is included on the List of Claims for the December 18th Council
meeting, and by approving that List of Claims, Council will approve the payment
to Moore. The check will be presented through City Attorney Tom Hart, who is
working with Moore's attorney to hold the City harmless from any further claim.
BUDGET IMPACT
As the Ivy Falls Creek Improvement Project has long since been closed out,
it is impossible to charge this expense to the public improvement project. Treasurer
Shaughnessy has recommended that it be paid from unappropriated general fund balance,
and it is so designated on the Claims list.

SUBJECT: Purchase of Fire Equipment
Introduction
December 14, 1984
Fire Chief Noack is requesting authorization for purchase of a portable
pump, portable generator, and portable deluge set. The first two items were
anticipated and included in the 1984 capital budget.
Portable Pump
The Chief is requesting purchase of a Waterous Floto Pump to be placed on
Unit 2295, the tanker. Cost is $995; $2,500 was budgeted for this purchase.
The Floto is a portable 140 GPM pump that actually floats on the body of
water (lake, swimming pool, etc.) from which it is drawing. It can be used to
provide water in difficult areas inaccessible to the pumpers and tanker, and also
to remove water from flooded basements.
Portable Generator
An Onan 4.0 and 5.0 kw Generator Set is requested for placement on Unit
2287, the newest pumper. The cost is $2,336; $4,000 was budgeted.
This purchase will update our equipment, by providing 220v service for the
Lukas tool.
Portable Deluge Set
A Stang deluge gun set, with nozzles is also requested at a cost of
approximately $2,000. This item was not specifically included in the 1984
capital budget. However, there is a blanket $9,800 appropriation for equipment,
hoses, and nozzles: approximately $2,800 of that amount remains unspent.
It is my understanding that we already have one deluge set. Since the item
was not specifically included in the adopted budget, during our tour of the new
station Council may want to ask Chief Noack to explain the use and need for a
second deluge.
Budget Impact
As indicated, there are sufficient appropriations within the capital budget
to make the requested purchases.
Fire Equipment -2- December 14, 1984
In arriving at his recommendations, Chief Noack considered several
alternative models of equipment. I am satisfied that the cost of the items
selected is reasonable.
Action Required
If Council concurs with the Chief's requests, it should pass a motion
authorizing purchase of a Waterous Floto Pump in the amount of $995, an Onan
portable generator in the amount of $2,336, and a Stang deluge gun set and
options at a cost not to exceed $2,000.

SUBJECT: League of Women Voters Position on Citizen Appointment
Following is a letter and attachments from the League of Women Voters
of Northern Dakota County concerning the process of appointment to citizen
committees such as the Planning and Parks Commission. It is interesting
to note that one of the recommendations, public notice through the media
of opportunities for appointment, is consistent with the directive Council
gave staff at the last meeting.
ACTION REQUIRED
Council should review the points made in the League's letter, and if
desired, direct staff to begin steps toward implementation. Also, Council
should note the offer of the League to appear at a subsequent Council meeting
to discuss its recommendations.

Dear Mayor Lockwood, and City Council:
DPc
The League of Women Voters of Northern Dakota County Area*has recently
completed a study of the appointment process used by each of the
communities which we serve: Eagan, Inver Grove Heights, West St. Paul,
South St. Paul and Mendota Heights. As a result of the study, the League
established the following position:
The League of Women Voters of Northern Dakota County Area supports an
open appointment process in all municipalities of Northern Dakota
County.
Essential to an open appointment process are:
0 A written city resolution defining the official appointment
process of the municipality.
0 Citizen awareness of the appointment process and appointment
schedule using media releases and city publications (if
applicable).
0 Press releases sent to legal newspaper and other local
publications detailing appointments to be made and the procedure
for citizen applications.
0 Use of a uniform application form within a municipality.
0 Applicants to be interviewed by city council or mayor.
0 Consideration of geographic representation of citizens on
appointed bodies.
0 Appointment policy should be applied to vacancies as well as new
appointments.
Mendota Heights Mayor, Council
Page 2
December 2, 1984
The appointment process currently used by the city Of Mendota Heights meets
some of the criteria the League established as essential for an open
process. However, the League would like to Suggest to the Mendota Heights
City Council that it improve its present process by doing the following:
l\ Formalize the city's appointment prOC8s�S in the form of a resolution.
This procedure will ensure that the appointment process will not be
altered or deviated from by future councils without public awareness.
A copy of the resolution passed by the County Commissioners in 1982 is
attached as a sample Of how the county now handles appointments for its
various boards.
2\ Utilize an application form which is the same for all applicants. A
Copy of the South St. Paul application form is included as a sample of
the information they ask of all applicants. These applications are '
then kept on file for future openings.
3) Implement a plan to provide press releases to the city's legal
newspaper and Other local publications detailing appointments to be
made and the procedure for Citizen applications.
4\ All applicants to be interviewed by city council or mayor.
5) Consider geographic representation Of citizens on appointed bodies.
6\ Appointment policy should be applied to vacancies as well as new
appointments.
Since many appointments to boards and commissions will be made in the near
future, the League feels that prompt implementation of the above elements
will ensure d governmental system that is representative, accountable, and
responsive to the citizens Of Mendota Heights.
Members of the League would be happy to appear at d council meeting for
public discussion of the appointment process resolution. Please call me
with any questions you have concerning this matter. We look forward to
your attention and response.
Sincerely,

TO: Mayor, City Council and City0ministrator
FROM: Larry Shaughnessy
SUBJECT: FAA Operational Rules Change
INTRODUCTION
Several years ago, the head of the FAA made a proposal that any local
operating procedures at airports be subject to FAA review and approval. This
was opposed by a coalition of airport operators, municipalities and, to some
extent, airlines, and was dropped.
The ATA, an airline trade association, has brought the proposal up again
to the FAA and a comment period extends through December.
Most "airport interest" groups such as MAC, MASAC, NOISE, AOICA, etc., plan
to make strong negative comments.
Such a rule would probably knock out many of the operating restrictions and
field regulations which are in effect at the Twin City airport. For example,
the heading change which brought some relief to our residents within four weeks
last summer could not have been placed in effect within six months, and then only if
approved by the FAA.
ACTION REQUIRED
I would suggest as strong a resolution as possible be entered into the FAA
hearing record, indicating our opposition. The Executive Committee of MASAC,
of which I am a member, will be drafting a new position within the next week, and
if available, I will have a copy for our December 18th meeting.
Attached is a suggested form of Resolution which the Council could consider
passing and entering into the FAA hearing record.

I called the Mn/DOT District 9 Traffic Engineer to see what steps the City
would need to take to change the speed on Marie Avenue, west of Dodd Road from 40
mph to 30 mph. The Traffic Engineer said that if the City made the change by
resolution and sent him a copy he would change the authorized speed to be 30
mph. I have prepared a sample resolution for Council approval.

SUBJECT: Speed Limit on Mendota Heights Road
DISCUSSION:
When Mn/DOT took over Mendota Heights Road last spring as a detour for Trunk
Highway 149, hey posted the speed at 50'mph. When they turned it back to the
City this fall we changed it back to 40 mph. We thought that the 50 mph was just
a temporary speed limit for the time it was a detour, but after we changed it
back we were informed that 50 mph was the official speed.
RECOMMENDATION:
Both the Police Chief and I feel that because of the schools in the area and
because it has been posted for 40 mph for sometime, Mendota Heights Road should
have a speed limit of 40 mph from Dodd Road to Lexington Avenue.
ACTION REQUIRED:
If Council concurs with the staff recommendation, they should pass a motion
adopting Resolution No. 84- , Resolution Requesting The Commissioner Of
Transportation To Zone Mendota Heights Road As A 40 mph Speed Limit From Trunk
Highway 149 (Dodd Road) To Lexington Avenue (County Road 43).

The 110/149 Area ,Task Force, appointed by Council last summer to study
commercial and trafficway improvements in that area of the City, is nearing
completion of its work. It is hoped (and tentatively planned) that final
recommendations will be formulated on January 9.
The Task Force is therefore prepared.to meet in workshop with Council to
discuss its studies and present recommendations. Wednesday, January 30, has
been suggested as a possible date. Tuesday the 29th or Thursday the 31st are
possible alternatives.
I would suggest that the Planning and Parks Commissions also be invited
to attend, as both groups will be called upon to deal with parts of the issue:.

To set a date for the workshop.
