PRESENTATIONS
A) RECOGNITION OF PLANNING COMMISSION MEMBER LITTON FIELD, JR.
Mayor Garlock, on behalf of the City Council, presented Mr. Litton Field, Jr. a plaque recognizing him
for his 11 years of outstanding service on the Planning Commission, many of them as the Chair. His
dedication and leadership will be greatly missed.
Councilor Petschel added that when someone is a member of a Commission they have a certain role.
When they become the Chair of a Commission, their role changes, and they become more of a shepherd.
She believed that Mr. Field has been an incredible shepherd under extremely difficult circumstances.
The City is extremely indebted to him for preserving a good process on the Planning Commission.
B) PRESENTATION OF POLICE BODY CAMERA USAGE
Captain Wayne Wegener provided the Council with information regarding the acquisition,
implementation, and policy regarding police body worn cameras. He explained that as many police
departments continue to move towards the implementation of body worn cameras, the Mendota Heights
Police Department has tested and evaluated different systems. They have relied on the patrol officers to
discuss system needs and do the testing and functionality of those camera systems.
After the testing and discussions were complete, and based on feedback from the officers, the Axon
system was chosen. Earlier this year, the Police Department purchased the Axon Body -worn Camera
System, which was very comparable to the other systems reviewed. At that time, the Axon mobile
camera system for squad cars was purchased, to integrate with the body worn cameras, allowing officers
to log into one system, furthering ease of use, and allowing for one storage location for all of the videos.
From an administrative standpoint, this is a very robust system allowing for very large storage solutions,
the tracking of cases, and allowing the city attorney to have access as needed.
The system would be implemented in phases, allowing the officers to become comfortable with using
the systems and to provide answers to any questions they may have.
Page 3
A draft policy for the body -worn cameras has been posted on the city's website; no feedback from the
community has been received at this time.
Councilor Petschel asked where the cameras would be located. Captain Wegener replied that the
cameras can be mounted in various locations. Many of the officers have chosen to wear them in the
middle of their chests, in between their pockets.
Councilor Petschel, noting that there has been discussion with the Sheriff's office in terms of working
through a larger group and developing more space for storage, asked if progress was being made on that.
Captain Wegener answered that the department is continuing to have those conversations to look at
expanding to a regional group or storage, but nothing has been decided at this point.
Councilor Miller expressed his appreciation for the work that has been done on this.
Councilor Paper asked if an officer was wearing a tie, where would the camera go. Captain Wegener
replied that the system would allow for the camera to be mounted over the tie; however, officers
typically do not wear ties during the course of their duties.
Councilor Paper asked if the officer was wearing a jacket where would the camera be located. Captain
Wegener replied that the camera could be worn on top of the jacket or underneath with the jacket
unzipped. The cameras are versatile. He noted that the camera is approximately 3.5 inches by 4.5 inches
in size, and approximately 1.5 thick. They would be on during most interactions with the public by the
push of a button. Once the cameras are integrated with the squad car system, when the squad lights are
turned on, the body camera would automatically be turned on.
Mayor Garlock opened the floor for public comments.
Mr. Dennis Forsberg asked if a camera would be assigned to each officer. Captain Wegener replied that
they have procured enough cameras so that each officer is assigned their own camera; however, the
camera would remain in a docking station located in the Police Department when they are off duty.
When they come onto their shift, they would remove the camera from the docking station, test to ensure
that it is working, and then affix it to their uniform.
Mayor Garlock asked how long the data would be kept. Captain Wegener replied that there is a retention
schedule that must be followed and it would be determined by the classification of each piece of data.
For example, anything that would generate a case file would be kept for seven years. Traffic stops with a
citation would be kept for three years. The minimum of any file would be 90 days.
Councilor Paper asked about the expected useful life of a camera. Captain Wegener replied that the
agreement with Axon provides them with replacement cameras in 2.5 years. After that time, if they
continued with Axon, they would be required to purchase new cameras.

PUBLIC HEARING
A) ORDINANCE 537 ADOPTING FEE SCHEDULE
City Clerk Lorri Smith explained that the Council has been asked to review an amendment to the city's
fee schedule. Minnesota Statutes states that the adoption of a fee schedule, that includes planning and
zoning fees, requires a public hearing to allow for public comment.
The fees are reviewed annually by staff to ensure that the rate structure accurately reflects the costs of
services provided. Any fee increase is proposed by the department charging the fee. Ms. Smith then
reviewed some of the notable changes.
Councilor Petschel moved to open the public hearing.
Councilor Miller seconded the motion.
Ayes: 4

NEW AND UNFINISHED BUSINESS
A) ROGERS LAKE PARK STREET LIGHT REQUEST
Public Works Director Ryan Ruzek explained that the Parks & Recreation Commission has
recommended the installation of a street light at the entrance to Rogers Lake Park upper parking lot.
Commissioner Kipp expressed safety concerns at the Wagon Wheel Trail crosswalk, next to the upper
parking lot. The upper parking lot is mainly used for users of the skate park, which is only open during
park hours. There is currently no lighting at the park.
Page 5
Letters were mailed to approximately 12 property owners in the area asking for their feedback. Four
property owners were opposed to this light. A petition was received from the Rogers Lake Property
Owners Association which opposed the installation of this light.
As for the cost of an LED light, the city typically leases these lights at approximately $10.36/month or
$124/year. The light is proposed to be installed on an existing power pole.
Councilor Petschel noted that there is no record of security issues in the park. She raised her concerns
about what night time lighting would do to the habitat in the pond adjacent to the proposed light
location.
Councilor Miller echoed Councilor Petschel's sentiments. He added that one of the attractions to this
community is the fact that anyone can go into these natural areas and find beauty as it is intended to be.
Councilor Paper stated that most of the neighbors around there have been fairly clear about not wanting
this light installed.
Ms. Sue Light, 2270 Wagon Wheel Court, stated she believed that it should be a consideration that
Mendota Heights is a pollinator -friendly city and that these suggestions need to be looked at through that
lens.
Councilor Petschel moved to deny the installation of a street light at Rogers Lake Park upper parking lot.
Councilor Miller seconded the motion.
Ayes: 4

B) PROFESSIONAL SERVICES CONTRACT FOR THE VILLAGE RETAINING WALLS
IMPROVEMENT PROJECT
Public Works Director Ryan Ruzek reminded the Council that an issue was brought to the City's
attention last fall about the failing retaining walls in The Village Town Center area. There are a number
of retaining walls, both tiered and single height walls ranging from one -foot tall to approximately nine
feet tall. There is approximately 500 linear feet of retaining wall. It appeared on inspection that these
walls were not constructed properly.
Staff developed an RFP for consulting services. Two firms responded with proposals for engineering
design and inspection work to develop a full feasibility study and help the city through completion of
this project.
The low bidder was Stonebrooke Engineering out of Burnsville, MN. Their total fee for this work is
$64,436, a not -to -exceed fee.
Page 6
The feasibility report is scheduled for presentation to Council on April 2, 2019. Staff would then take a
look at the details developed as far as wall types, assessable properties, and more fine-tuned details of
the project.
Councilor Paper expressed his frustration at having to remedy this situation since it was not constructed
correctly to begin with; however, he is glad that it is being taken care of for the residents' safety.
Councilor Petschel asked if the people who could be possibly assessed for this project were aware of
where the city was in addressing this situation. Mr. Ruzek replied that he has had several meetings with
the residential association so they are aware that this is on the horizon. The commercial property and
potentially Dakota County CDA could be another benefitting property as well.
Mr. Ruzek noted that the city may have had some substantial involvement in the construction of these
walls; however, the walls that are onsite do not match what was in the original design plans. There was
obviously some field changes that were made during construction.
Councilor Paper asked how the costs would get split. Mr. Ruzek replied that staff would work with the
consultant through the feasibility process; taking a look at which properties would benefit. He plans on
using the city's street rehabilitation and reconstruction policy, which says the city can assess up to 50%
of the project costs. This is a Planned Unit Development (PUD) so the city could consider this a unit
assessment. They could look at front footages or at the area of the lots.
Mayor Garlock moved to authorize staff to execute a professional services contract with Stonebrooke for
a not -to -exceed price of $64,436.
Councilor Miller seconded the motion.
Ayes: 4
Nays: 0
Absent: 1 (Duggan)
C) RESOLUTION 2019-14 APPOINTMENT OF PLANNING COMMISSIONER
City Administrator Mark McNeill noted that earlier this evening, the Council interviewed eight
candidates for the Planning Commission. The recommendation is to appoint Mr. Andrew Katz to the
vacancy on the Planning Commission.
Councilor Petschel moved to adopt RESOLUTION 2019-14 APPOINTING ANDREW KATZ TO FILL
A VACANCY ON THE PLANNING COMMISSION, for a term to expire on January 31, 2022.
Mayor Garlock seconded the motion
Ayes: 4
Nays: 0

COMMUNITY ANNOUNCEMENTS
City Administrator Mark McNeill announced that February 9 is Family Movie Night in the Sibley High
School Auditorium, beginning at 6:30 p.m. The movie to be shown is "Incredibles 2". February 10 is the
Royal Ball at the Concord Exchange Building. He stated that summer recreation program registration will
open in March.
COUNCIL COMMENTS
Councilor Paper expressed his appreciation to Mr. Litton Field, Jr. for his service on the Planning
Commission. He also expressed his appreciation to the candidates who interviewed for the open position
on the Planning Commission. It was a difficult decision and he welcomed Mr. Katz to the commission.
Councilor Miller requested that residents remember to clear the snow from around the fire hydrants near
their homes in the off -chance of an emergency.
Mayor Garlock noted that with all of the snow we have received, he was quite sure there was a snow
emergency in affect. He thanked all of the residents for making sure their cars are off the streets to ensure
the snowplows can properly clear the snow.
Councilor Petschel recognized Public Works, Police, and the Fire departments who had multiple calls
during the extremely cold weather.

PARKS AND RECREATION MEETING
January 8, 2019
The January meeting of the Mendota Heights Parks and Recreation Commission was held on
Tuesday, January 8, 2019, at Mendota Heights City Hall, 1101 Victoria Curve.
1. Call to Order — Chair Pat Hinderscheid called the meeting to order at 6:30 p.m.
2. Roll Call — The following Commissioners were present: Chair Pat Hinderscheid,
Commissioners Steve Goldade, Ira Kipp, Bob Klepperich, Stephanie Levine, David Miller, and
Nissa Tupper. Staff present: Recreation Program Coordinator Meredith Lawrence, Assistant
City Administrator Cheryl Jacobson and Public Works Director Ryan Ruzek, and City
Administrator Mark McNeill.
3. Approval of Agenda
Chair Hinderscheid asked for two additions to the agenda:
1. Status update on filling the openings on the Parks & Rec Commission
2. Estimates on the Wentworth Warming House
Motion Miller/ second Tupper to approve the agenda as amended AYES 7: NAYS 0
4. Approval of Minutes from December 11, 2018
Commissioner Klepperich provided clarification on the email reference under Item 5: Citizen
Comment Period by saying that the Commission does not want to discourage people from
writing or appearing before the Commission. It is part of City Policy for citizens to be identified
by name and address, which was not done in this case. Citizens should feel free to comment
but realize that they would need to provide a name and address as part of the record.
Chair Hinderscheid also noted that if an email is sent to any of the Commissioners on a topic
they wish to have discussed at a meeting, their name should be revealed.
Motion Klepperich /second Miller to approve the minutes of the December 11, 2018 Parks and
Recreation Commission meeting. AYES 7: NAYS 0
5. Citizen Comment Period (for items not on the agenda)
There were no citizen comments
6. Unfinished and New Business
6.a North Kensington Horseshoes
Public Works Director Ryan Ruzek explained that the Commission was being requested to
consider adding horseshoes to North Kensington Park. In discussion with some of the members
of the townhome association surrounding the park, it sounds like there is a group of people that
play horseshoes weekly; however, the closest location they can find is in West St. Paul. They
asked the city to consider adding a couple of horseshoe pits to North Kensington Park.
Page 11
Mr. Ruzek shared a map of the North Kensington Park area; however, an assessment for the
best fit or location has not been completed. Parking in the fall on the south side is a concern
during soccer season and there are some native plantings put in by the city fifteen years ago
that are actively managed.
Chair Hinderscheid asked what the cost would be to put these pits in. Mr. Ruzek replied with the
removal of the top soil, installation of treated lumber, backboard and sand he did not anticipate
an outrageous expense. This is something that Public Works could probably do themselves.
Commissioner Miller asked if there had been any other interest expressed besides from this one
group. Mr. Ruzek replied in the negative.
It was noted that one or two pits could be installed in a location that, if interest increased, could
be expanded upon. Also, it's possible that residents could request to have pits installed in other
parks throughout the city.
Commissioner Goldade asked for clarification that North Kensington Park is not connected to
Kensington Park. Mr. Ruzek replied that South Kensington Park is located across Concord Way
— via a crosswalk — from North Kensington Park. Commissioner Goldade asked if there was a
specific location that staff would suggest. Mr. Ruzek replied in the negative.
Commissioner Goldade then asked if staff was aware of how North Kensington Park is currently
being used by the residents. Mr. Ruzek answered that he was not aware of any activities that
occur in the park at this current time.
Chair Hinderscheid asked if they would be installing benches or other items as well as the
horseshoe pits. Mr. Ruzek replied that all items are on the table at this time.
Commissioner Levine stated that she loves the idea and is excited that some neighbors are
interested. She herself is not a horseshoe player but she has seen them in other parks, usually
near or in a picnic area. She asked if there would be an interest at looking at Mendakota Park
and if there would be a spot there that could accommodate this activity. Mr. Ruzek assumed
that there would be a suitable location in Mendakota. Commissioner Levine suggested that a
location near picnic -type areas in other parks may be better conducive. Mr. Ruzek noted that
the ease of access was the reason for the North Kensington Park suggestion. However,
Mendakota is a still a lot closer than West St. Paul.
The Commission directed staff to ask the interested group if they would accept a different
location. Also, staff should provide more information on what other types of amenities would be
requested along with the pits; seating, shade, space for tournaments, scoreboards, etc.
6.b Park and Trail Map
Public Works Director Ryan Ruzek stated that staff did some updates and cleanups to the city's
Park and Trail Map and shared an image. He requested feedback and comments from the
Commission.
Chair Hinderscheid noted that on the Trail Improvement and Maintenance Plan Map, it
appeared that the tunnel was showing as being proposed; however, it has been completed. Mr.
Ruzek replied that this particular map, dated May 1, 2017, was included in the Commission
Page 12
Packet as a reference so they could see that there are more trails in town. When that map was
printed that tunnel was not completed.
Mr. Ruzek clarified that the Parks and Trails Map is what the Commission was being asked to
comment on, not the Trail Improvement and Maintenance Plan Map.
Commissioner Tupper said that the map was very readable and easy to decipher. However, she
did not see a scale on the map so if someone were to try and determine how long it would take
to walk somewhere they would have a hard time making that judgment.
Commissioner Goldade asked how it was decided to designate dotted lines for the wide
shoulder, for instance the piece of Lexington between Highway 62 and Mendota Heights Road.
It would be nice to designate how folks could know to not bike on that and avoid it by going over
to Wagon Wheel and then back over. Staff agreed to make that addition.
It was noted that once updated and approved, the Parks and Trails Map would be provided in
the park kiosks and would be available on-line.
6.c Playground Subcommittee Update
Public Works Director Ryan Ruzek explained that the Parks & Rec Commission assembled a
sub -committee. On January 2, 2019, this sub -committee met with Flagship Recreation, who
specializes in Landscape Structures equipment and Minnesota/Wisconsin Playgrounds, who
represents Game Time equipment. Both companies had been asked to use a $140,000 budget
for improvements to Wentworth Park Playground equipment and a $160,000 budget for the
Hagstrom-King Playground improvements. Mr. Ruzek noted that additional site work needs to
be done and expansion of the container is needed to put in a recommended zip -line structures
at Hagstrom-King location and to expand the container.
The sub -committee looked at proposals from Landscape Structures, provided some feedback,
looked at different equipment and offered suggestions. Minnesota/Wisconsin Playground did not
have any revised layouts; however, they were not requested to bring that to this first meeting.
Mr. Ruzek stated that he has not gotten an email out to the sub -committee since their initial
meeting, but asked if they had anything they would like to share or recommend to the
commission at this time.
Chair Hinderscheid asked if Mr. Ruzek had heard anything from Flagship Recreation on the
`reveal' they indicated would take place this past Monday. Mr. Ruzek replied in the negative.
Chair Hinderscheid also noted that it was easier to work with Flagship Recreation as they had
come in with a diagram laid out; whereas Minnesota/Wisconsin was only talking about pieces.
However, Minnesota/Wisconsin will come back with a design layout.
The sub -committee saw some features that they thought were interesting, and they mixed
things up a little bit. They are anxious to see what the suppliers come back with.
Chair Hinderscheid also noted that the budget dollars cited above included the site work, the
new equipment, and removal / disposal of the existing equipment. He then asked if any
determination had been made on how to dispose of the existing equipment; either by selling or
having someone come in and take it. Mr. Ruzek replied that it might save the city a little bit on
disposal costs as there are some companies that would send the equipment to another country.
Page 13
The city would still be on the hook for removal of the concrete foundation, surfacing, and any
container work.
Commissioner Klepperich asked if anything was going to be kept at Wentworth. Mr. Ruzek
replied that the plan is to keep the 2-5 age equipment as it is in almost like new condition.
Commissioner Tupper stated that they had a good discussion; they went back and reviewed the
comments from the open house and reminded themselves what people had preferred. Both
designs are moving in an exciting direction and she is excited to see what they come back with.
Commissioner Levine echoed Commissioner Tupper's comments and stated that one of the
things that came up was the possibility of integrating teen and adult fitness in with the
equipment. It probably would not require very much different equipment itself. One of the
exciting things is they are looking at equipment that is parent/grandparent friendly.
Chair Hinderscheid said this was a nice first step and he is very intrigued in what they will be
able to come up with. He then asked what the plan was going forward.
Mr. Ruzek replied that it would take the vendors some time, and once spring arrives their time
will become even more limited. He also noted that two of the members of the sub -committee will
no longer be members of the Commission effective January 30, 2019 and asked if they should
be kept on as citizen representatives; should another commissioner be appointed to the sub-
committee to prevent the breaking of any open meeting laws. Mr. Ruzek expressed his desire to
have the sub -committee meet one more time and have recommendations ready for the
February Parks and Recreation Commission meeting; however, that may be a bit aggressive.
Commissioner Goldade liked the idea of Commissioners Levine and Tupper staying on the sub-
committee in whatever role they could and see the project through. He also liked the idea of
coming back to this topic at the February meeting so the two new commissioners have the
opportunity to be a part of that discussion and possibly fill those spots.
Commissioner Tupper stated that she would be happy to serve in whatever capacity to see the
project through. Commissioner Levine agreed to the same sentiments.
Commissioner Levine, in an effort to keep this project moving forward, suggested that staff be
directed to contact the vendors for their updated drawings and timing information. She also
encouraged the sub -committee to meet in January with the vendors. Scheduling that meeting is
paramount.
6.d Fee Assistance Program Update
Recreation Program Coordinator Meredith Lawrence reminded the Commission that at their
January 2018 meeting, they discussed the implementation of a Scholarship Donation Program
or Fee Assistance Program for city recreation programs. On March 6, 2018, the Council
adopted a Recreation Fee Assistance program. She then reminded the Commission that this
program would allow for a reduction of fees by 50% for qualifying applicants, with a maximum of
$150 per year; the overall cap for the scholarship program for the City was $3,000 per calendar
year of 2018; City Council did budget $1,000 for 2019 for the Scholarship Program.
Additional information on the program, including qualifications, the process if accepted, and the
programs that are eligible were included in the Commission Packet.
Page 14
In 2018, there was one applicant that applied and received scholarship money. A fair amount of
other inquiries were received; however, the applicants did not meet the qualifications — mainly
because they were residents of another city. When these types of inquiries are received, staff
works with them to let them know that other cities do offer a scholarship program and then put
them in contact with the right person. These other communities also know that the City of
Mendota Heights offers scholarship opportunities if they receive inquires which pertain to the
city.
Staff will work to promote this program in the future in the marketing materials provided to
residents and in the flyers dropped off monthly at the schools.
Commissioner Goldade requested that this information be included in the Friday News, at least
quarterly. He also suggested an adjustment that if there is a citizen sponsor for a friend who is
not a citizen, they be included in the program. He also asked about having the write-up about
the program in multiple languages. Ms. Lawrence agreed that the Friday News is a great way to
promote this program, as well as in the Heights Highlights. As for the write-up in multiple
languages, there is not anyone on staff that could do that; however, it is something staff could
look into providing. In regards to the sponsorship or refer -a -friend type program, she knows that
the city tries to not subsidize other cities residents; however, it could be discussed and brought
up to the Council if the Commission sees fit.
Commissioner Levine stated that she would like to see this program moved off of the city's
responsibility and added to the Mendota Heights Foundation as it would be a good place for
those kinds of scholarships. Meanwhile, she felt that the criteria made sense. There is just a gap
between the accessibility of the information and the applications. It is new and it will take a while
for it to get up and running. She really appreciated the fact that if a citizen who is not a resident
can be referred to their own city; and likewise the Mendota Heights residents going to a different
city are referred back to Mendota Heights.
Commissioner Goldade asked for Commissioner Levine's thoughts on qualification #4, would it
be easy to do:
• Provide ONE of the following as documentation with the application:
o Copy of the eligibility notification letter from the ISD 197 Child Nutrition Office, if
your child participates in the "Free and Reduced Lunch Program."
o Documentation of parent on Active Duty in the military
Commissioner Levine replied that the information noted exists so why not.
Commissioner Goldade continued by explaining that a lot of the programing is in the summer
and if they don't have that letter from the school district, it would be tough to find and difficult to
get access to the staff in the school district. Commissioner Levine replied that it was a great
question and suggested this question be taken off-line and contact the district office to find out if
that was something they could do in the summer.
Commissioner Levine also said that a phone number could be provided in the Heights
Highlights where people could call and get additional information or ask questions.
Commissioner Tupper agreed that this is a good program to offer; however, she questioned the
eligible programs. She asked if the original discussions included a reason why things like the
Cinderella Ball or some of the other events were not included. Parks are the catalyst for
Page 15
community building, as well as recreation. Ms. Lawrence replied that the eligible programs were
picked because those are programs that the city is in charge of running and pays for the staffing
and knows the costs associated with them. The Royal Ball is done in partnership with three
other cities and there are a lot of costs associated with the building that is rented, the food
provided, and the other consultants and vendors. However, if that is something the Commission
would like to see added — it might make more people interested in applying and she could work
with the finance department to make sure that those funds then get transferred into that Royal
Ball budget.
Chair Hinderscheid asked if this assistance program was part of the golf programs that the city
puts on. Ms. Lawrence replied in the affirmative. He then asked if that could be promoted at the
club house. Ms. Lawrence replied that it is not promoted at the club house at this time.
However, this could be another way of marketing the program.
Commissioner Goldade complimented Ms. Lawrence on offering `no cost' events; such as the
movie coming up in February and the movie that was offered in September. Those events are
accessible to all and he complimented her on offering that type of program as well.
7. Reports
Recreation Program Coordinator Meredith Lawrence, in response to the request for an update
on the new commissioners, noted that the city had received nine applications for the Parks &
Recreation Commission. Those interviews will take place on Tuesday, January 15, 2019 before
the City Council meeting. The Council is the entity that interviews all applicants and would
nominate two who, if they accept, will be on the Commission. Hopefully, they can be introduced
at the February Parks & Recreation Commission meeting.
The February meeting will also the commission's reorganization meeting. They will review the
Rules of Order and have the election for chair and vice -chair.
7.a Par 3 Update
Recreation Program Coordinator Meredith Lawrence noted that she did not have the October
2018 financial report as she had not received it yet. She hopes to have this information to share
with the Commission at the February meeting.
However, she was excited to report that the Council did approve the purchase of a new Toro
Workman utility cart — an $8,850 cost to come out of the General Fund and would not impact the
Par 3 budget.
It is her plan to bring to Council on January 15, 2019 a proposal for a new fairway mower. That
machine has a lot of work that needs to be done on it; staff received a pretty good quote on a
new one.
7.b Recreation Update
Recreation Program Coordinator Meredith Lawrence provided the following updates:
• Winter Skating started last Saturday (January 5, 2019) with approximately 25
participants; a lot more than years past. They actually hired another instructor because
they had so many kids interested. This is done with West St. Paul.
Page 16
• The Dodge Nature Center is providing a naturalist -led snowshoeing hike on Saturday,
January 12; which most likely will just be a hike because of the lack of snow. The event
starts at 1:00 p.m. and registration is available on the website until Friday, January 11 at
4:00 p.m.
• The Royal Ball will be held on February 10, 2019 in South St. Paul. Registration is
available on the website. Already there seems to be a lot of interest and lots of
registrations have been received.
• Blade with the Blue — teaming up with the Police Department to host a free hockey
event; registration is available online. This event will be held at Friendly Hills.
• Movie Night — hosted by the Tri -District Community Education; this free event will be
held indoors at Henry Sibley High School on February 9, 2019. There is a poll on the
city's Facebook page to vote on which movie would be shown.
• Winter Break Field Trips — she had the privilege of taking children on these two field trips
• Flag Football Camp — held at the West St. Paul dome with over 25 participants
• Warming Houses — opened on December 26, 2018 and a report on ice rink usage was
included in the Commission packet. It has been tough with the weather. Hours are
posted on the city's website as well as a hotline to call to confirm if warming houses are
open.
• 2019 Summer Programs — hard work is underway. Ideas and suggestions are welcome.
Commissioner Tupper expressed her appreciation for staff's and her hard work in offering such
a diverse array of programming. These opportunities provided for such a small city is amazing.
Commissioner Goldade asked how she has found partnering with these other entities and what
are the wins for the city. Ms. Lawrence replied that they are working a lot with the City of West
St. Paul, the school district, and the Dodge Nature Center. Partnering with the school district
and West St. Paul enables the city to keep the price down as they are able to promote the
events to more people. It also helps to have additional people working on the projects and
saves her a little bit of time. The city's new Natural Resource Technician had a contact at Dodge
Nature Center and she has been working with them to try and get more programming with them.
They have a great facility and good staff; this is a good way for the city to keep prices down and
have an option that is close to home for people to do unique things.
7.c Commissioner Park Updates
Wentworth Park — Commissioner Goldade drove by today and the new hockey rink lights look
great. He loves the protective wrap around one light post and the basketball post. He was
impressed with the overall beauty of Wentworth Park and all that park has to offer.
Hagstrom-King — Commissioner Goldade asked if the bike racks had been installed. Public
Works Director Ryan Ruzek replied that he had not received an update; however, he received a
bill for the basketball expansion but not for the bike rack.
He was unaware that the basketball court was so far away from everything and he thought there
had been some discussions about adding pickleball courts in between the basketball court and
the remainder of the rest. He also suggested Hagstrom-King as a possible location for the
horseshoe pits discussed earlier.
Ivy Hills — Chair Hinderscheid talked with people walking through and they commented on what
a gem it is for the neighborhood.
Page 17
Victoria Highlands — Commissioner Miller had nothing new to report for Victoria Highlands in the
winter.
Marie Park — Commissioner Levine drove by and saw a lot of pee wee skaters with parents
standing on the sidelines and it brought such a smile to her face. She wanted to stress that
other cities do not have ice right now and it says a lot about the Mendota Heights Public Works
Dept. that the city has ice on their rinks.
Dog Park — Commissioner Levine suggested that people DO NOT go the dog park right now
because the ice is so prevalent it could be ice skated on. The condition is not safe for walkers or
dogs right now and residents should exercise caution and good judgment.
Please do not complain to Public Works as there is nothing they can do about it.
Chair Hinderscheid asked that a discussion about the pickleball courts at Hagstrom-King be
added to an upcoming agenda. Mr. Ruzek agreed.
In response to an earlier request for an update on the Wentworth Park Warming House, Public
Works Director Ryan Ruzek explained that he did not have an update. The architect did provide
an update during the workshop meeting; however, Mr. Ruzek had some conflicting meetings
and was unable to touch base with the architect in person and has not reached out by email. He
does have a pre -construction meeting scheduled with the contractor on Friday, January 11,
2019. They are likely to begin a sediment removal project at Wentworth park next week.
This is probably that last season the current warming house, in its current condition, would be
used. There will be a different structure there for the next season.
Chair Hinderscheid asked if it would be helpful for the fee assistance program to be
communicated at the high school. Student Representative Matthew Boland replied that it would
be a good idea. He also asked if Henry Sibley and other local high schools have flyers around
the school advertising for it. Recreation Program Coordinator Meredith Lawrence replied that
they provide flyers for the programs but not for the fee assistance program. However, it would
be a good idea to promote it at the high school level.
Chair Hinderscheid asked if the Wentworth Warming House was a Special Park Fund expense
or was it just maintenance. Mr. Ruzek replied that the scope of the project has not yet been
determined. Council could choose to use Special Park Funds or they could look at some other
fund or general fund expenditures, infrastructure funds, etc. The funding has not yet been
determined. If this were a one-to-one replacement it would be the Special Park Fund as used for
the Marie and Friendly Hills replacements. However, this is more of an expanded structure and
Council may be willing to entertain some other funding opportunities.
8. Announcements and Commission Comments
Recreation Program Coordinator Meredith Lawrence provided the following announcements:
• Automatic lights (via a timer) will be installed at Friendly Hills and Marie Park, like at
Wentworth Park. This should occur this month or next month.
• She expressed staff's appreciation to Commissioners Levine and Tupper for their time
on the Commission and it had been great working with them. They will be missed.
Page 18
Commissioner Tupper expressed her appreciation to the Commission for their support. This has
been the first commission she has been involved with and shared that it has been really great to
get involved at this level in the city. This has been a very welcoming group. Staff has been really
well prepared to inform on issues; the commission has had some healthy discussions and has
done a lot of really great things. It has been exciting for her to see the momentum engaging with
the community, the creation of new partnerships for programming, pushing more
communications, and would expect to see that continue. She will continue to be involved as an
active citizen and hopes the commission continues to see the parks as a great catalyst for
building community and for environmental stewardship.
Commissioner Levine echoed Ms. Tupper's sentiments. She added that she has been on the
commission for nine years and when she first got involved there was no dog park; and now
there is one. The commission has accomplished so much — the city was the second pollinator -
friendly city in Minnesota, expanded the parks and trails, increased engagement with the
community, expanded the number and types of programming provided and partnerships with
other cities. She has seen the Council investing in these programs as well. Where monies are
put shows where the priorities are — this city has shown that the priorities are green space,
stewardship, and parks & recreation for the kids. It is a great city to live in and to be a part of.
Serving on this commission has made her really appreciative of the people who do the work
everyday, the commission, and the people who are unseen.
Commissioner Miller expressed his appreciation for the work done by Commissioners Levine
and Tupper and for their help.
He believed this was a good meeting and felt that the items they have been working on are
moving along and the reports / follow-up received have been very good.
Commissioner Klepperich also expressed his appreciation of Commissioners Levine and
Tupper for their contributions to the commission and to the city.
He welcomed the citizens to use the parks and trails during the wintertime as it is a great time to
get out. He did caution everyone to watch their steps as some places are slippery.
Commissioner Goldade encouraged residents to see the decorated tree at Valley Park between
Marie and Highway 13. He was also impressed with the number of benches available along that
path and complemented the Bench Program.
He also expressed appreciation to Commissioners Levine and Tupper for their service.
Commissioner Tupper brought great energy to the Natural Resources projects and he admired
her wanting to have community engagement. Commissioner Levine's participation for nine
years is quite impressive, her passion for the parks was easy to see at every meeting, and she
is truly an ambassador for the park -rich city.
He also thanked the nine residents who applied for the open commission seats; it is a strong
testament to how valuable the city's parks are and a part of the community.
He encouraged residents to get outside and enjoy the parks and trails in the winter.
He suggested to Ms. Lawrence the addition of Cardboard Camp for the summer. Kids like
building with cardboard.
Page 19
Chair Hinderscheid also expressed his appreciation to Commissioners Levine and Tupper for
their contribution.
He was excited to see a strong field of candidates for the open positions. He was also excited to
see the updates to the two playgrounds. He thanked Public Works for the great job they have
done on the ice.

SUBJECT: Server Storage and Backup Redesign
INTRODUCTION
The City Council is asked to approve the redesign of the City's IT server storage and backup
infrastructure.
BACKGROUND
Over the past several months the City, along with the Dakota Broadband Board and LOGIS, have
worked to install and connect City buildings (City Hall, Public Works, and the Fire Station) to the
Dakota County fiber ring or Institutional Network (I -Net). The cut -over to the new fiber path
was completed on February 14 and city buildings are now connected and operating on the I -Net.
To realize the benefits of the new fiber connection, staff has worked with LOGIS, the City's IT
consultant, to redesign the City's server and back up environment. Currently, the City's
environment consists of six physical servers and 15 virtual servers. The proposed redesign will
run six mission critical virtual servers in the LOGIS hosted environment (offsite). A single
server will remain at City Hall and have the capability of running four virtual servers. Together,
there will be ten virtual servers between the two locations.
The City's current backup and recovery structure would be replaced with a new enterprise
solution providing for daily backups of all ten virtual servers in the new environment. The new
design would include daily backups with 30 days of retention and 12 months of monthly
retention. The City's current structure is only backing up a fraction of current servers and is only
able to keep 3-5 days of retention due to limited storage.
The redesign is an important step in shoring the City's information technology operations. The
design is a more purposeful design focused on high performance, high availability and decreased
ongoing maintenance. The solution provides for enhanced and sustainable load processing,
storage speed and capacity and network bandwidth. The LOGIS hosted environment is stable
and offers redundancy, automatic site resiliency and is staffed 24/7.
LOGIS estimates that the redesign/build and migration of city servers will take approximately 232
labor hours. LOGIS' hourly rate is $125 per hour for a total of $29,000
Page 22
BUDGET IMPACT
The cost of the server storage and back up upgrades and migration is $29,000. If approved, funds
would be available from the Cable Fund to cover costs.
ACTION RECOMMENDED
Staff recommends that the City Council approve the proposed server storage and backup upgrades
and migration totaling $29,000.
ACTION REQUIRED
If City Council concurs, it should by motion, approve the proposed server storage and backup
upgrades and migration totaling $29,000.

Request for City Council Action
MEETING DATE: February 19, 2019
TO: Mayor, City Council, and City Administrator
FROM: Scott Goldenstein, Assistant Fire Chief
SUBJECT: January 2019 Fire Synopsis
Fire Calls
For the month of January 2019, the Mendota Heights Fire Department was paged out to 27 incidents. Of
those, 21 were located in Mendota Heights, five in Lilydale, and one call was a mutual aid to Inver Grove
Heights. One call was to a structure fire that began as an individual grilling outdoors in close proximity to
the house and the flame from a grease fire extended and started the siding of the home on fire. This call
initiated automatic mutual aid assistance from Inver Grove Heights. Upon arrival, Chief 1 found the
residents removing the siding with a shovel and the fire was kept from further extension into the home.
The Fire Department was also called to a small electrical fire that occurred in a commercial property
where the heating thermostat had malfunctioned and caught on fire. The occupying tenants put the fire
out with a fire extinguisher.
We were also paged to two cooking fires that were contained to the appliance and neither call caused
significant damage or needed ventilation. Two of our calls were medicals, and one was assisting with the
removal of a victim/extrication from a car accident. One call was for a carbon monoxide alarm, and two
calls involved residents with smoke detector problems. Six calls were dispatched and cancelled before
our arrival, one was a good intent call and one call was a smoke scare at Friendly Hills Middle School that
occurred on one of the extremely cold days. Xcel Energy had requested the school to switch to an
alternate heating fuel (due to heavy natural gas demand) and one of the boilers was not burning fuel
properly causing black smoke to appear to be coming from the roof. Upon arrival, mutual aid had been
requested from both Inver Grove Heights and Eagan due to the extreme temperature and potential
large scale of the call. Once crews were able to make entry and determine the cause, all fuel sources to
the boilers were shut off and the black smoke issue ceased. Eight calls were malfunctions, unintentional
trips or other types of false alarms. Lastly, we provided mutual aid station coverage to Inver Grove
Heights while they were on a structure fire call.
Department Training Opportunities for the month of January
Bloodbourne Pathogens/Right-to-Know - This training is an OSHA required mandatory training to go
over our department and City policies in regards to both bloodbourne pathogens (and how the
department offers means to protect the firefighters as well as Right -to -Know in terms of potentially
hazardous products that firefighters may be exposed to and what to do about it. This training also
covers lock-out/tag-out procedures, again for the protection of firefighters and others.
Ice Rescue - This training goes over procedures used in the case of an ice rescue as well. There was a
live element where we cut open ice on Rogers Lake and have a firefighter in the water where we can go
over hands-on live rescue scenarios.
EMS "A" & "B" - This drill is part of a four part medical refresher series for firefighters to get the
continuing education needed to maintain their EMR (Emergency Medical Responder) training.

REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION
DATE: February 19, 2019
TO: Mayor, City Council, and City Administrator
FROM: Ryan Ruzek, P.E., Public Works Director
SUBJECT: Resolution 2019-15 & 2019-16 Sponsoring an Outdoor Recreation Grant for
Wentworth and Hagstrom-King Parks
COMMENT:
INTRODUCTION
The Council is asked to approve Resolution 2019-15 & 2019-16 authorizing staff to submit an
Outdoor Recreation Grant Application to the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) for
improvements to Wentworth and Hagstrom-King Park.
BACKGROUND
The Minnesota DNR has a grant program to increase and enhance outdoor recreation facilities in
local and community parks which was established under State Statute 85.019. The grant provides
matching funds for up to 50% of the cost for redevelopment of parks. All projects must meet the
requirements for perpetual outdoor use. Eligible projects include:
• Boat/Canoe Access Sites • Campgrounds • Fishing Piers/Shore Fishing Areas • Skating Rinks/Parks
• Nature Study/Observation Areas • Picnic Shelters • Playgrounds • Sports Fields and Courts
• Swimming Beaches and Outdoor Pools • Splash Parks • Trails (non -motorized internal park trails)
• Change Houses, Restrooms, Shower Buildings and Warming Houses • Fencing, Lighting and Signs
• Landscaping and Natural Area Restoration • Park Roads and Parking Areas (may not exceed 40%
of the total project cost) • Fixed park furnishings such as Seats, Drinking Fountains, Grills, Picnic
Tables, Trash Receptacles and Fire Pits • Walkways
Non -eligible projects are:
• Costs incurred before the grant contract start date • Administrative Expenses, Contingency Allowance,
Legal Fees • Design and Engineering in excess of 10% of the Total Construction Cost. • Concession -only
Buildings • Decorative Fountains, Statues and Plaques • Dredging, Water Impoundments and Dams -
Facilities not available for general public use • Golf Courses, Shooting Ranges • Indoor Recreational
Facilities (i.e.: ice arenas, enclosed swimming pools, etc.) • Acquisition of land already in public
ownership • Motorized Trails • Non -Permanent Skate Park Ramps, Press Boxes • Sewer to Campsites
DISCUSSION
The City of Mendota Heights Parks are aging and in need of improvements. There are improvements
proposed to Wentworth and Hagstrom-King Park. Eligible projects for Wentworth Park would
include the playground replacement (estimated $140,000), Trail/Parking Paving (estimated $80,000),
Page 27
and a proposed warming house expansion ($150,000). Hagstrom-King is proposing a playground
replacement project that would also be eligible (estimated $160,000).
The city would be required to provide language relating to inclusion and non-discrimination if
selected.
BUDGET IMPACT
The City of Mendota Heights has been proposing to use the Special Parks Fund for funding of these
improvements with or without grant assistance. If selected, the grant would offset local costs which
can be used for other park improvements. If successful, the city could look to utilize this grant for
other capital improvements to the park system in future years.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the City Council approve Resolution 2019-15 & 2019-16 Sponsoring Outdoor
Recreation grant submittal to the DNR for Wentworth and Hagstrom-King Park.
ACTION REQUIRED
If Council agrees with the staff recommendation, they should pass a motion adopting
RESOLUTION 2019-15 SPONSORING AN OUTDOOR RECREATION GRANT FOR
WENTWORTH PARK AND RESOLUTION 2019-16 SPONSORING AN OUTDOOR
RECREATION GRANT FOR HAGSTROM-KING PARK.
This action requires a simple majority vote.

CITY OF
MENDOTA HEIGHTS
REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION
DATE: February 19, 2019
TO: Mayor, City Council, and City Administrator
FROM: Ryan Ruzek, P.E., Public Works Director
SUBJECT: Lexington Highlands and Mendakota Street Improvements — Change Order #1
COMMENT:
INTRODUCTION
The Council is asked to approve Change Order #1 for the Lexington Highlands and Mendakota
Street Improvements consulting contract with WSB & Associates.
BACKGROUND
Mendota Heights awarded a contract to WSB & Associates for the design, surveying and
inspection of the Lexington Highlands and Mendakota Street Improvement Project, and awarded
a construction contract to Midwest Asphalt for the installation of these improvements.
WSB & Associates has advised the City that, due to unforeseen conditions and the inclusion of
additional tasks, the existing contract to the consultant will need to be modified.
DISCUSSION
Change Order #1 is a request from WSB & Associates for an increase in the contract amount to
perform the necessary design, surveying, and inspection work. The request for extra
compensation is due to:
• Additional curb and gutter replacement and its needed material testing
• Private utility conflicts (Xcel Gas & Electric)
• Coordination with the Dodd Road reconstruction with MnDOT
• Poor weather conditions in September and October
The Contractor previously submitted a schedule of approximately 11 weeks to complete the
project. However, now due to the added curb work and weather delays, the project is scheduled
to be 14 weeks.
WSB & Associates submitted the attached funding breakdown. Their costs for the additional
time are $39,179; they are requesting to be reimbursed for only $31,492 of this amount, and will
absorb the rest.
Page 31
BUDGET IMPACT
The contract with WSB & Associates for the consulting on the project was $98,458. The
additional request would result in a total contact amount of $129,950. This amount equates to
10.7 percent of the contract amount (1,208,235). Indirect costs were estimated at 20 percent of
the contract. Additional indirect costs include staff time, legal and bonding costs.
Funding for the change order is not expected to have a major impact to the overall project costs.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that City Council approve Change Order #1.
ACTION REQUIRED
Staff recommends that the City Council pass a motion authorizing Change Order #I for the
Lexington Highlands and Mendakota Street Improvement project. This action requires a simple
majority vote.

Re: Lexington Highlands, South Plaza Drive & Mendakota Neighborhood Improvements
City Project No. MH2O1706
WSB Project No. R-010779-000
Dear Ryan:
WSB is requesting additional fee for construction services requested by the City to complete the work for the
Lexington Highlands, South Plaza Drive & Mendakota Neighborhood Improvements through the 2018
construction season.
As you know, the Contractor spent more time than was anticipated in completing the work mostly due to the
following circumstances:
• Additional curb and gutter replacement in the Lexington Neighborhood;
• Private utility conflicts;
• Coordination with MnDOT's work on Dodd Road and;
• Poor weather conditions in September and October.
The Contractor provided a schedule at the preconstruction meeting and estimated the work to take 11
weeks to complete. The circumstances mentioned above caused the project to be extended through the
month of November for a total of 14 weeks to complete the 2018 work.
The Contractor's extended schedule required additional construction observation services. The City's staff
was unavailable to work any additional hours on this project so the City authorized WSB to continue working
on the project through the end of the 2018 construction season.
WSB has incurred fees to date in the amount of $39,179 for this project but is only requesting additional fee
in the amount of $31,492 for the construction observation work required due to the Contractor's extended
schedule.
We appreciated working with the City and look forward to working on other projects in the future. If you have
any comments, questions or concerns please do not hesitate to call me at 612-214-7053.

To: Mayor and City Council
From: Mark McNeill, City Administrator
Subject: Solar Array Contracts
Date: February 19, 2019
Comment.
Introduction:
The Council is asked to approve agreements with iDeal Energies which would provide for additional solar
arrays on the Public Works, and Fire Station Buildings
Background:
The City currently has 140 Kw of solar generating capacity on the roofs of the Fire Station, Public Works,
and Par 3 Maintenance buildings, and also a ground mounted array west of City Hall. Those solar panels
were a result from the Xcel Energy Company's Solar Rewards program, and a state program entitled
Made in Minnesota.
iDeal Energies was the developer for the initial installations of the panels. It recently notified the City
that extra capacity has become available from the Solar Rewards program from Xcel. It has proposed to
place two additional 20 Kw units, one on the Public Works building, and the other on the new section of
the expanded Fire Station (once the construction timeline allows for that.)
Budget Impact:
Under this program, the City makes lease payments to a third party which is reimbursed for the upfront
costs of the arrays. In exchange, the City is able to purchase electricity for less than the market rates,
which causes participation to be a money saver for the City.
The savings for the expected 40 year life cycle of each 20 Kw unit are projected to be $203,000, meaning
a savings of $406,000 for the two.
In addition to the financial savings, the generation of solar also contributes to the City's resiliency efforts.
Recommendation:
This is an expansion of the current solar facilities. I recommend approval.
Page 34
Action Required
If the Council concurs, it should, by motion authorize the Mayor and City Administrator to approve
agreements with iDeal Energies for the installation of 20 Kw roof mounted solar arrays for the Public
Works, and Fire Station buildings.

Subject: Appearance by Rep. Ruth Richardson
Date: February 19, 2019
Comment:
Introduction:
At the City Council meeting of February 19th, there will be a visit from newly elected Representative Ruth
Richardson. The purpose will be to introduce herself, and provide an update on her first few weeks as a
member of the Minnesota House of Representatives.
Background:
Ruth Richardson was elected in November to serve as representative for House District 52B, the seat
which was previously held by Regina Barr. Rep. Richardson is a Mendota Heights resident.
Her committee assignments are Commerce, Education Finance Division, and Transportation Finance and
Policy Division.
She has already been instrumental in drafting legislation which, if approved, would provide for a
refunding of sales taxes which are to be paid on goods and materials to be used in the construction of the
Fire Station project. That could potentially mean a savings to the City in excess of $100,000.
Action Required
Meet with Representative Richardson and discuss issues.

At its meeting of February 19, the City Council will hear a presentation regarding having the City
subscribe to the solar energy which is produced in a community solar garden. It will be asked to provide
direction as to entering into an agreement to participate.
Background:
ReneSola is company which produces solar energy on a world-wide basis. The company is nearing
completion of a multiple acre solar garden in Rice County, and has approached the City of Mendota
Heights about being a customer (subscriber) for the electricity which will be generated from that project.
Subscribers must be in the host county, or in an adjacent county. Cities, school districts, and other
governmental agencies are attractive as participants, as they do not generally move, or go out of business
during the 25 year time that the solar garden is in prime operation.
ReneSola and its partners provide the upfront cost of buying the solar panels, and building and
maintaining the solar garden over 25 years. The subscribers receive bill credits from Xcel Energy, and
pay the solar garden operators for their proportionate subscription size of the solar garden. Xcel pays the
subscriber in bill credits for their portion of the solar garden's energy that is produced on a monthly basis.
Budget Impact:
The business model provides that the subscribers to commit to leasing the solar panels for a set amount of
time, and, in exchange, have the opportunity to purchase electricity at a discounted rate. The amount of
the savings from the electricity purchases will exceed the cost of the solar panel leases and operation
management costs. ReneSola has estimated the savings to the City over a 25 year agreement to be either
$1,014,747 for what is called the "flat rate" option, or $953,515 for the option that assumes a conservative
increase in future electrical market rates. See the attached estimates.
In general, flat rate options can provide more potential savings over the lifetime of the subscription, where
the escalator option enables greater savings opportunities early on in the agreement. For example, the
first year savings under the flat rate is projected to be $3,006, while the escalator option savings are
$12,387 in the first year. In general, ReneSola advises that the escalator option provides less risk and can
tolerate near-term ups and downs of the Xcel rebate rates, whereas the flat rate has some risk of being
Page 49
slightly more than the Xcel credits. Factoring in the time -value of money, there is also some
attractiveness in maximizing the higher up -front savings from the escalator option, even if it generates
less in the long -run.
A further breakdown of the program mechanics, using Year 1 as an example (with the escalator rate) is as
follows:
• City - Receives monthly credits on Xcel Bill estimated to total $106,869 (12 Months)
• City - Pays solar garden operator estimated to total $94,482 (12 Months)
• City - Captures savings through the credit amount 106,869 - $94,482 solar payments = $12,387
Savings
• Solar payments will escalate at I%, Xcel Bill credit estimated to escalate at 2.6%
• Total Estimated Savings over 25 years: $953,515
Note that both of those estimates have factored in the "on site" production of the solar arrays currently in
place at the various City locations, including the electricity which is anticipated from the two 20 kw
expansions which are also on the February 19t1i agenda.
The City Attorney has advised that this is not a contract for which competitive proposals must be sought.
Recommendation:
Information about the solar garden concept, and what the savings are estimated to be under both
scenarios, will be presented at the City Council meeting by a representative of ReneSola.
Following the presentation, if the Council is comfortable with moving ahead with a subscription,
direction from Council as to which rate --the flat or escalator alternative --is asked. That preference would
be incorporated into a 25 year agreement which would be brought back to the March 5t1i City Council
meeting for formal approval.
Action Required:
Review the presentation materials, and provide direction.

REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION
DATE: February 19, 2019
TO: Mayor, City Council, and City Administrator
FROM: Ryan Ruzek, P.E., Public Works Director
Krista Spreiter, Natural Resources Technician
SUBJECT: Authorize Staff to enter into a Contract with Tree Trust for a Resident Tree Sale
COMMENT:
INTRODUCTION
The Council is asked to authorize Staff to enter into a contract with Tree Trust for the purpose of
providing a resident tree sale.
BACKGROUND
Mendota Heights residents have expressed interest in a tree sale to be offered by the City. City Staff
has researched several options and retailers that could provide nursery stock trees for this purpose. It
was determined that Tree Trust offered the most favorable product in regard to cost and value.
DISCUSSION
Tree Trust is a non-profit organization that offers integrated job training programs to youth and
adults through community forestry and environmental education programs, in order to enhance and
improve the urban tree canopy throughout the Twin Cities area. The proposed contract would entail
the provision of 5 0- 10 gallon container trees of varying native shade tree species that could be
purchased by residents at a rate of half the retail price.
By entering into this contract, the City would be providing a means for residents to purchase quality
shade trees at a reduced cost, thus improving diversity of the City's community forest, and replacing
canopy loss due to Emerald Ash Borer.
The date for this tree sale will be established at a later time, but will likely be in April or May.
BUDGET IMPACT
The cost to residents would be approximately $45.00. The remaining cost would be subsidized by
both the City and Tree Trust. The total cost to the City under this contract would be $4,929.16, and
includes all supplies, promotional and educational materials, postage, transportation and delivery,
and an online shopping platform.
The costs of the proposed tree sale would be provided from the Parks Department Invasive Species
management budget.
RECOMMENDATION
Page 53
Staff recommends that City Council authorize Staff to enter into a contract with Tree Trust to provide
for a community tree sale.
ACTION REQUIRED
If Council agrees with the staff recommendation, authorize Staff to enter into a contract with Tree
Trust for the amount of $4,929.16. This action requires a simple majority vote.

COMMENT:
INTRODUCTION
The Council is asked to comment on the preliminary layout of the Wentworth Warming House
Improvements.
BACKGROUND

funded through the Special Parks Fund and was estimated to cost around $150,000.
ACTION REQUIRED
Comments regarding the proposed layouts should be discussed and relayed to staff to be incorporated
into the final feasibility study.
