outstanding job for the city.

of -way would be split in half and would be given to each adjacent property owner. One comment has
been received in support of the vacation. Once approved by Council, a public hearing would be called
for at the June 18, 2013 City Council Meeting and all of the affected residents would be notified.

correction.
Councilmember Norton seconded the motion.
Ayes: 5
Nays: 0
H) APPROVAL OF SERVICE AGREEMENT WITH DAKOTA COUNTY
FOR ONE -STOP RIGHT -OF -WAY PERMITTING SYSTEM
Councilmember Duggan noted his concerns and questioned the information in the document referring to
payments.
City Engineer John Mazzitello referred to Exhibit C of the agreement, Permit System Fee Calculations,
which outlines the number of permits over the past three years. Based on this information, Mendota
Heights' percentage of the monthly charge would be very small.
Mayor Krebsbach asked what affect this agreement would have on the Building Activity Report in terms
of fees collected. Mazzitello replied that joining this program would not alter the fees collected for
building permits. This is a convenience measure for applicants so they only have to go to one place to
get a right -of -way permit that could span multiple city jurisdictions within the county.
Mayor Krebsbach asked if there would be any adverse effects in terms of the way the city would
develop compared to any of the other cities in Dakota County. Mazzitello replied that there would be no
impact to the way Mendota Heights does business.
page 5
She then asked how would staff and the City would know what permits have been applied for.
Mazzitello answered that the applicants would apply through the Dakota County system and it would be
sent to the various cities for review and approval before the County would issue the permit.
Councilmember Norton asked if the additional costs to the City to participate would be passed on to the
applicant. Mazzitello replied that the City has already adjusted its right -of -way fees anticipating
covering the initiation fee and the annual fee.
Councilmember Duggan asked, since the document states the County's liability limitations, if there were
any waiver of City liabilities. City Attorney Tami Diehm stated that there is a standard protection for the
City that states there would be no liability for consequential or indirect damages. Since the County
would be administering this program, the City would not have a lot of risk.
Councilmember Duggan asked if there would be any additional annual fees for the City. Mazzitello
replied that the annual fee is anticipated at $475 but this would be adjusted based on the number of
right -of -way permits applied for within the City's jurisdiction.
Mayor Krebsbach asked for clarification on the termination of this agreement. Mazzitello stated the
City would be able to opt out of the agreement with ninety days notice.
Councilmember Duggan stated he sees this agreement as a form of taxation and he would not be in
support of it.
Councilmember Petschel stated that she believes this would be a benefit for the people who are required
to obtain permits to work in the City or multiple permits to work over a larger area in Dakota County.
Mayor Krebsbach asked who would actually be administering this program. Mazzitello replied that
Dakota County would be administering the program.
Councilmember Norton moved approval of Service Agreement with Dakota County for One -Stop Right -
of -Way Permitting System.
Councilmember Petschel seconded the motion.
Ayes: 4
Nays: 1 (Duggan)
PUBLIC COMMENTS
Mr. Scott Butwin, 1101 Sylvandale, commented on the need for having and enforcing a sound
ordinance; especially for outside equipment. Mr. Butwin stated that the national standard is 45 decibels
at night and 55 decibels during the day and he suggested the City Council adopt this standard.
Mayor Krebsbach explained that the Council listens to comments and suggestions made by the public
but does not take any formal actions during the meeting.

PRESENTATIONS
A) PRESCRIPTION DRUG DROP -OFF,
DAKOTA COUNTY SHERIFF'S OFFICE
Chief of Police Michael Aschenbrener introduced Chief Deputy of Dakota County Tim Leslie. Chief
Deputy Tim Leslie stated that the County has been working on the Prescription Drug Drop -Off program
since 2011 and that it is now available for residents of Mendota Heights. The drop off site is located in
the basement of City Hall and is open 24 hours per day / 7 days per week. Residents can stop in and
drop off unused or misused prescription drugs, no questions asked, to be destroyed by law enforcement.
Councilmember Duggan asked if the program accepts syringes. Leslie replied that syringes are accepted
but the drugs are removed from the syringes before being placed in the incinerator. The syringes are
disposed of separately.
Councilmember Petschel mentioned the environmental impact of flushing leftover prescription drugs
down the toilet.
B) UPDATE ON MENDOTA- LEBANON HILLS GREENWAYS MASTER PLAN
Assistant to the City Administrator Jake Sedlacek gave a brief presentation on the Greenways Master
Plan by stating that Dakota County has been in the process of developing greenways with the idea of
connecting communities, finding alternative ways for transportation, and then connecting natural and
historic resources throughout the County. The greenway plan is a comprehensive plan that makes
suggestions on where a trail may be located.
The County is currently studying the Mendota - Lebanon Hills greenway, which starts at the intersection
of Dodd Road and Highway 110 and then moves south through Mendota Heights, Inver Grove Heights,
and Eagan; terminating at the Lebanon Hills Regional Park. Of the 8.5 miles of trail, the part that would
be of most interest to Mendota Heights starts at Mendota Plaza. Dakota County is hoping to do a grade
separated crossing from the North Urban Regional Trail, travel through the Mendota Plaza development
in an easement area, and then move south.
They are proposing to use an existing trail for part of the trail and then use CDA owned property; known
formally as the Dodd right -of -way, or construct a floating boardwalk through Friendly Marsh Park that
would connect up on Huber Drive (this is their preferred option), taking advantage of an existing eight
foot wide bituminous trail
Dakota County is hoping to have the plan adopted by the County Board by late summer 2013.
Councilmember Petschel expressed her desire to have the City involved early in the decision on the
options prior to any rendering on any maps or discussions by the County on their preferred plan. She
stated she would not wish to have the floating boardwalk through the marsh because of the pylons that
would need to be installed, the pipeline that is already going through there, and other issues; especially
since there is another easier and more economical option.
Councilmember Povolny agreed wholeheartedly with Councilmember Petschel's comments.
page 7
Councilmember Norton stated that he would be in support of having a letter written to Dakota County
stating that the preferred alternative from the City would be through Decorah and Aztec Lane.
Mr. Bruce Vatne, 2205 Bent Tree Lane, explained that he has the same concerns as Council in regards to
the wetlands. He loves his property because of the enjoyment he receives from the wildlife and would
not like to see that disturbed. He also had concerns about who would maintain and police the trail if one
were to be put in.
Mayor Krebsbach noted that she received a call from a resident that attended the Lakeville meeting. His
concern was about a ten foot trail along Huber and Mendota Heights Road. Mayor Krebsbach stated that
one of her main concerns is allowing bicycles on the same trail as pedestrians.
Councilmember Duggan moved that the Council recommend to the Dakota County Planning staff that,
should they wish to continue this process, they go south into the CDA owned property; known formally
as the Dodd right -of -way, through Decorah; that this Council does not support a boardwalk through the
marsh, the primary reasons being destruction of wetlands, loss of habitat, incompatibility with the
neighborhood, and prohibitive costs associated with that; and Council has concerns about the increased
bicycle traffic on the same trails as pedestrians.
Councilmember Petschel seconded the motion.

PUBLIC HEARINGS
A) RESOLUTION 2013 -38 LEXINGTON HEIGHTS APARTMENTS
CONDUIT BOND REFINANCING
Finance Director Kristen Schabacker explained this public hearing was for the issuance of revenue
refunding bonds for the Lexington Heights Apartments. These bonds are conduit financing and are a
pass through for the city. They are not an obligation of the city. Representatives from Lexington Heights
Apartments were present to answer any questions from the Council.
Mayor Krebsbach asked for the amount of the bonds. Schabacker replied that the amount is not to
exceed $10,570,000 and does not affect the ability of the City to bond.
Councilmember Petschel asked if the service fee would cover all expenses the City would incur in
working on this refunding. Schabacker replied in the affirmative.
The representatives from Lexington Heights Apartments were Mr. Jim Riley, a member of the family
that owns Lexington Heights Apartments; and Mr. Dan Nelson of Best & Flanagan and in partnership as
owner.
Councilmember Petschel moved to close the public hearing.

UNFINISHED AND NEW BUSINESS
A) ORDINANCE 453 AMENDING CITY CODE REGARDING SIGNS,
AND APPROVE SUMMARY PUBLICATION
Assistant to the City Administrator Jake Sedlacek explained that this topic was originally brought up in
late 2012. With Council permission, staff went through the City Code pertaining to signs and provided
the drafted language as an update. Sedlacek reviewed the proposed changes to the ordinance.
Mayor Krebsbach asked why the building permitting is incorporated in the sign ordinance. City
Administrator Justin Miller reminded the Council that the current code requires that any exterior
renovation to a building in the commercial or industrial district come to the City Council for approval,
whether or not it meets every other requirement of the City Code. This amendment would change that;
this would not require those permits to come before the City Council any more. Mayor Krebsbach
replied that for that piece she would not approve this.
Councilmember Petschel stated that this was drawn up in response to a request from Council; Council
was putting unnecessary delays on homeowners and businesses. She explained that she had no problem
supporting this as it was specifically being done in response to a goal the Council set; streamlining the
permitting process.
Councilmember Norton agreed with Councilmember Petschel.
Councilmember Duggan raised his concern about the setback proposed for signs being ten feet. Sedlacek
explained that the ten foot setback was chosen as the most common sign distance that exists today. It is
also important to note that this would be the setback from the lot line, not from the curb.
Councilmember Duggan questioned the need for calling out that feather flag signs are not permitted; and
questioned why they would not be allowed. Sedlacek replied that these types of signs, since they are not
permanent, have not been permitted in the past. This would eliminate any confusion on whether or not a
feather flag is permissible. Councilmember Duggan explained his reasons for allowing feather flag
signs. He would have liked to see an exception included that one feather sign per business be
permissible.
Councilmember Povolny asked if there was anything in the ordinance to prohibit persons standing on
the corner waving a sign. City Administrator Miller stated that if the person is in the right -of -way, then it
would be permitted.
Mayor Krebsbach asked for confirmation that the inflatable waving in the wind sign sock is not
permitted. The reply was that this language already exists in the code.
page 10
Councilmember Duggan pointed out some grammatical edits that should be made. He also questioned
the wording pertaining to illumination beyond a lot line.
Councilmember Petschel moved to adopt ORDINANCE 453 AMENDING TITLE 12, CHAPTER 1 OF
THE CITY CODE PERTAINING TO SIGNS with the noted changes; Section 3, J. 4. a) the word `may'
will be deleted; and Section 3.J.6. the appropriate word will be found to substitute for the second
'illuminate'.
Councilmember Povolny seconded the motion.
Ayes: 4
Nays: 1 (Kreb sbach)
Councilmember Duggan moved to approve the SUMMARY PUBLICATION OF ORDINANCE 453,
for publication purposes.
Councilmember Povolny seconded the motion.

Nays: 0
B) ORDINANCE 454 AMENDING CITY CODE REGARDING GARAGES,
AND APPROVE SUMMARY PUBLICATION
Assistant to the City Administrator Jake Sedlacek explained that this ordinance amendment is to allow
two garages on residential properties. The City has only allowed one garage, be it attached or detached.
The proposed code would allow for two garages. Depending on the outcome of that discussion, staff
would propose a number of changes if two garages are allowed:
• To allow only two accessory structures as opposed to three
• Sizes on garages, the way they are measured is proposed to be changed
The other policy question is the matter of garage doors. This proposed amendment would provide for
thirty-six linear feet of doors permitted and would allow someone to construct either two double doors
or four single doors; trying to match with the character of their home as they see fit. The City previously
allowed up to four doors if a garage was twelve hundred feet or less. Two years ago the City limited it to
three doors maximum.
Mayor Krebsbach asked if there is a lot size minimum for two garages. Sedlacek replied that the
proposed language would allow an additional garage on any property that has the room for it. That
would require the setbacks of ten feet from side and rear lot lines, and ten feet from the principal
structure. It would require a Conditional Use Permit to get a second garage over 650 square feet in size.
The size of the second garage would be limited by the area of the backyard or the footprint of the house,
whichever is smaller. In no case could the second garage exceed fifteen hundred square feet.
Mayor Krebsbach asked if the code includes anything about space on either side of the driveway.
Sedlacek answered that for access to the driveway the current setbacks would apply. A driveway is
allowed no closer to the lot line than five feet, it is allowed to be up against the principal structure or, in
this case, a separate garage.
page 11
Mayor Krebsbach asked if there would still be a thirty foot setback from the rear lot line. Sedlacek
replied that a detached garage could be up to ten feet from the rear lot line and an attached garage would
have the same setback as a principal structure, which would be thirty feet.
Councilmember Povolny asked if the detached garage has to be architecturally the same as the house.
Sedlacek replied that the language the Planning Commission settled on is that accessory structures shall
be compatible with the principal structure, which does leave a little room for artistic interpretation.
Councilmember Povolny recommended the language be changed to exactly, not compatible. Mayor
Kreb sbach supported Councilmember Povolny' s request.
Councilmember Norton stated that anything that opens the Council to interpretation of whether
something would be architecturally compatible with the principal structure would potentially open the
Council up to litigation.
Councilmember Duggan expressed a concern if a house is ten years old and the stucco is weathered, to
get a new garage to match exactly with the weathered home would be a challenge.
City Attorney Tami Diehm stated that the phrase "architecturally compatible" is a commonly used
phrase. She believed that what Councilmember Povolny meant was the finishing materials. Maybe staff
could include some additional language that says the finishing materials, including siding and shingles,
that are used on the garage shall be identical to those used on the principal structure. Councilmember
Povolny stated that this is what he was trying to say.
Councilmember Norton clarified what he heard is that the phrase "architecturally compatible" would be
the style of the house, so Council would still want the "architecturally compatible" with the house in the
code; but also add the finish materials language. Attorney Diehm agreed and stated that the phrase
"including, but not limited to, siding and shingles" so that would leave that open for stucco.
City Attorney Diehm proposed that this language be included in Section 1C.
Councilmember Duggan asked if the Council was permitting two garages. The reply was in the
affirmative. He then asked if a resident also wants an accessory structure in addition to the two garages,
how that request would be handled. Sedlacek replied that this is proposed to be structured similar to the
current code where it is size dependent. If a resident has a lot of four acres or less they would be allowed
that one detached structure, which could be a garage or an accessory shed of some sort. If the lot is over
four acres then they would be allowed two structures.
Mayor Krebsbach suggested that Council go into a workshop session before their next meeting to
continue this discussion to be totally comfortable with what is in the ordinance.
Councilmember Duggan moved to table this discussion to the next Council meeting to obtain more
clarification on the issues that have been raised.
Councilmember Norton seconded the motion.

Mayor Krebsbach stated that this is the last night of service to the City for the firm of Winthrop and
Weinstein. Counting the time that the City was served by Sherman Winthrop and Bob Weinstein, that
tenure stretches over 50 years. Over these years, the attorneys at Winthrop and Weinstein have helped
the City grow into the prosperous and well respected City that we all enjoy today. Attorneys from
Winthrop and Weinstein, who have served as Mendota Heights City Attorney include:
Bob Weinstein, City Prosecutor through the 1960s
Sherman Winthrop, late 1950 to mid -1980
Tom Hart, mid -1980 to 2000
Dan Schleck, 2000 to 2005
Tami Diehm, 2005 to present
The firm is now seeking to move on from municipal representation but we know that Winthrop and
Weinstein will always be part of Mendota Heights and their legacy will be one that the City benefits
from for many years to come.
Mayor Krebsbach presented Tami Diehm with a Certificate of Appreciation.

The regular meeting of the Mendota Heights Airport Relations Commission was held on Wednesday, June 12,
2013 at 7:00 p.m. at 1101 Victoria Curve, Mendota Heights, MN.
The following commissioners were present: David Sloan, Kevin Byrnes, Jim Neuharth, Sally Lorberbaum,
William Dunn, Gina Norling and Paul Portz
Absent: None
Also present: City Administrator Justin Miller
Approval of Minutes
Lorberbaum made a motion, seconded by Neuharth, to approve the April 10th minutes as submitted - all voted in
favor.
Mendota Heights /Eagan /Inver Grove Heights Joint Meeting Recap
The commission reviewed the joint meeting that was held with Eagan and Inver Grove Heights on May 8th The
commission agreed that holding these joint meetings was worthwhile but could possibly be held every two
years, unless a pressing issue came about. The commission also discussed the merit of inviting other NOC
communities to the joint meetings, but it was agreed that the common issues of Eagan, Mendota Heights and
Inver Grove Heights were enough to keep the format the same.
Building Permit New Construction Disclaimer
Miller indicated that recent residential tear -downs (that possibly had noise abatement measures paid for) have
caused some to wonder about whether the new construction would someday be eligible for mitigation efforts if
the noise contours change The MAC's position is that any construction after October 20, 2007 is not eligible
for noise mitigation programs. The idea about a disclaimer being placed on building permits was suggested,
and the commission agreed that staff should find some way to place disclaimer language on the building permit
applications.
Acknowledge Receipt of Various Reports /Correspondence
The monthly reports for April 2013 were acknowledged and commissioners updated their respective areas of
focus. Neuharth suggested that the commission monitor the departure data of off runway 12R as it has been
trending upwards for several months now.
Norling invited the commission to meet at her house for their July meeting, which the commission agreed to.
Miller indicated that more details will be sent out as the meeting approaches.
Adiourn
Neuharth made a motion, seconded by Norling, that the meeting be adjourned. All voted in favor. Meeting
adjourned at 7:50 pm.

PARKS AND RECREATION MEETING
June 11, 2013
The June meeting of the Mendota Heights Parks and Recreation Commission was held on Tuesday, June
11, 2013 at Mendota Heights City Hall, 1101 Victoria Curve.
Chair Levine called to order the parks and recreation commission meeting at 6:31 p.m. The following
commissioners were present: Chair Stephanie Levine, Commissioners Mary McGrory - Ussett, Ira Kipp,
Joel Paper, David Miller, Pat Hinderscheid and Michael Toth. Staff present: Recreation Program
Coordinator Sloan Wallgren, City Engineer /Public Works Director John Mazzitello and Assistant to the
City Administrator Jake Sedlacek.
Ivy Hills Park Clean Up
The commission thanked Noah and Sam Farber for cleaning up the area around the pond at Ivy Hills
Park. The youth had coordinated the cleanup as a fundraiser for the newly formed Henry Sibley Ping
Pong Club. The commission hopes that staff may be able to provide notice of upcoming clean up events,
so they may thank volunteers and /or help out.
Approval of Minutes of May 14, 2013
A minor correction to the minutes was noted, changing the first sentence of the minutes to say "the May
meeting..." Commissioner Hinderscheid made a motion to approve minutes of the May 14, 2013
meeting; commissioner McGrory -Ussett seconded the motion.

Recreation Programming Update
Recreation Program Coordinator Sloan Wallgren noted that this is the biggest week of the year for
recreation programs. Tennis, playgrounds, field trips and golf programs all started June 10, 2013. Most
programs are filled and total revenues are up, even though some registration fees were reduced.
Mr. Sedlacek responded to a question about recreation program revenues, stating that programs are
intended to pay for themselves, and that the staff time (.5 FTE) for the recreation program coordinator is
paid for out of the general fund. If recreation programs create additional revenue, that amount would
offset the amount drawn from the general fund for staff salary.

Trail Improvement and Maintenance Plan
Mr. Sedlacek noted that City Engineer /Public Works Director John Mazzitello was in attendance to
answer questions and accept feedback on the Trail Improvement and Maintenance Plan (TIMP) originally
presented to the commission in December, 2012.
The commission had no specific comment on the plan itself, but provided staff with feedback on areas
that were in need of maintenance
Mr. Mazzitello noted that most trails in Mendota Heights are in the 20 -25 year age range, and will be due
for maintenance soon. The TIMP has been drafted to help manage the maintenance for all trails. The
public is welcome to provide input on trails at any time. Citizens may contact Mr. Mazzitello directly, or
email cityhall !, mendota- heights.com.
Chair Levine asked for an update on the status of the portion Valley Park Trail which is currently
unpaved. Mr. Mazzitello stated that a contractor has been selected to complete the installation of
pavement, which had been scheduled for late last week. The rainy spring weather has created a challenge,
as the existing base for the trail is still wet. Mr. Mazzitello, Mr. Sedlacek and Commissioner Toth all
attested that a trail installed over a wet base is more likely to fail than one installed on a dry base. The
cool temperatures, significant shade trees and frequent rains have delayed the project. If there are three
warm days without rain, the base should be ready to pave.
Mendota - Lebanon Greenway Open House Update
Mr. Sedlacek updated the commission on the open houses, and comments provided by Mendota Heights
residents who did attend the open houses.
Capital Improvements Planning
The commission identified criteria for evaluating capital improvements at the May 2013 meeting. At this
meeting, the commission also proposed new concepts for further consideration. Staff noted that a Sun
Shade for Hagstrom King Park was ruled out, in favor of "spading -in" larger diameter trees. The
commission confirmed this change Staff will look into this activity for this year or 2014.
The city is still awaiting further detail from the Mendota Heights Athletic Association on their proposed
improvements to the ball field at Victoria Highlands Park. The commission expressed their hope to have
further detail as soon as possible. Staff agreed.
Four projects were identified for further study: Rogers Lake Swimming Beach, Splash Pad, Victoria
Highlands Park and Warming House Repairs /Improvements. The commission expressed interest in
making a blank request for funding for a project in 2014, while they continue to research and discuss new
park amenities.
Par 3 Update
Mr. Wallgren reviewed the Par 3 update. Youth programs have started, and the course is teaming with
kids in mornings and afternoons. Registrations to date are strong compared to last year, which staff
credits to better promotion of programs. Turf at the Par 3 is in good health, maintenance staff have been
working through mechanical issues with the rough mower, and hope to have rough areas looking as good
as tees, fairways and greens soon.
page 17
Mr. Wallgren shared year to date expenditures and revenues, through May 31, 2013. Revenues currently
exceed expenditures by $3,365. The commission noted errors on the Budget to Actual report. Staff will
correct and re -send the report.
Ivy Hills Park Tennis Court
Mr. Sedlacek reported that the tennis court at Ivy Hills Park was in need of repair which goes beyond the
normal patching and repainting. An estimate to patch, place a 1.5" asphalt overlay and repaint the court is
approximately $24,000. A typical rebuilding of a court costs $50,000. Mr. Sedlacek also noted that
Valley Park was redone several years ago, with patching and Sport Court tile surfacing installed which
also cost approximately $50,000.
Staff encouraged the commission to set an open house to collect public input on the court. The
commission timing, weighing setting an open house early enough in the year to still complete a rehab of
the court in 2013 against holding off to make sure the public is well informed. The commission decided
that it was more important to make the community aware of the issue, and utilize the next Heights
Highlights to promote the open house.
Chair Levine made a motion to hold an open house to discuss options for Ivy Hills Park tennis courts
prior to the Parks and Recreation Commission meeting Tuesday, October 8, 2013. Commissioner Miller
seconded the motion.
Ayes: 7 Nays: 0
Commission Comments
Commissioner Toth requested an update on weed treatment in Roger's Lake, and inquired if a garbage
can could be placed at the S -Curve on Wagon Wheel Trail. Mr. Mazzitello responded that the contractor
for treating weeds keeps a close eye on Rogers Lake, and will treat the lake when conditions are optimal.
City staff recommends against a garbage can at the S- Curve, as the area seems to have less litter now than
in years when there was a can in the area. The can may also pose a safety risk, cluttering an already
crowded area.
Commissioners wished Mr. Sedlacek well is his new career opportunity and encouraged residents to get
out and enjoy Mendota Heights Parks and Trails.
Adjourn
Commissioner Paper made a motion to adjourn the meeting, Commissioner McGrory -Ussett seconded the
motion.

With the resignation of Assistant to the City Administrator Jake Sedlacek, an opportunity has
arisen to reorganize staff positions to better reflect the current and future needs of our
organization. To accomplish this, I recommending the following staff changes:
1) Tamara Schutta would be appointed to the Assistant to the City Administrator
position. She will continue to manage the city's human resources duties but will also
take on several of the duties Mr. Sedlacek was handling, such as the Friday News and
other communications, contract management (cell tower arrangements, Pilot Knob, etc.)
and other special projects as they arise. Tamara has served the organization in a very
professional and high - performing manner in her time here and I am excited to have her
take on these new responsibilities. She has experience as an assistant in other cities and I
absolutely know that she will succeed in her new role with us.
2) I recommend that the city then hire a position focused more on the planning and zoning
activities that we handle on a daily basis. This planner position will handle all planning
and zoning cases (both administrative and those that go to the planning commission),
recycling duties, and code enforcement (such as property maintenance, weed control, and
other complaints).
3) Finally, the parks and recreation duties that were in the assistant position will be
transitioned to Recreation Program Coordinator Sloan Wallgren. In his short time here
Sloan has given me a high level of confidence that he can absorb these duties, which
were mainly the Par 3 activities, staffing the Parks and Recreation Commission, and
coordinating capital parks improvements.
I believe this new structure will help us continue to provide a high level of services to our
residents, visitors and business community. Formal actions that are needed to endorse this plan
include:
1) Authorize the promotion of Tamara Schutta to Assistant to the City Administrator/HR
Coordinator (position description attached) at the city' s pay grade of 29 - Step A,
page 21
effective July 1, 2013. Per the city's personnel policy, she would begin her one -year
probationary period at the same time.
2) Approve the planner job description (attached) and authorize staff to begin the
recruitment process. It is anticipated that the job will be posted on June 19th with an
anticipated start date of July 29th. This position would be classified at Grade 20 on the
city's pay scale.
3) Approve the revised job descriptions for the Recreation Program Coordinator and
Assistant to the City Administrator/HR Coordinator to reflect their new duties.
BUDGET IMPACT
It is anticipated that the new configuration of these positions would save the city roughly
$17,000 in personnel expenses.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Mendota Heights City Council approve the staffing proposal outlined
in the above memo. This action requires a majority vote of the city council.

Statutory requirements.
Sergeant Neil Garlock has coordinated every aspect of the City of Mendota Heights 5k
Run \Walk component of the Parks Celebration since 2006. Each year he has strived to ensure
the success of the race and to ensure the proceeds go to Special Olympics Minnesota. This
year's total donation to Special Olympics Minnesota will be $7329.17 plus three additional
additional checks that were made out directly to Special Olympics for $205.00.
This year businesses and residents donated items valued at $14,316.00 to the 5k race. See
attached lists of donations to the 5k.
Donations and prizes donated to the Parks Celebration totaled $4,550.00.
A complete list of donors and prizes is included in Council Resolution 2013 -39.
I recommend the City Council pass the attached resolution accepting the gifts to the 5k
Run/Walk and authorize a check made out to Special Olympics Minnesota for $7,329.17.
Thank you letters have been sent to the Parks Celebration Donors and will be sent to the 5k

SUBJECT: Par 3 Maintenance Contract
BACKGROUND
page 43

651.452.1850 phone 651.452.8940 fax
www.mendota•heights.com
The City of Mendota Heights has contracted with GM Management for maintenance of the
grounds and equipment of the Par 3 Golf Course since 2008. Previous contracts have included
maintenance labor as well as supervision of course maintenance.
Following the 2012 golf season, GM Management informed the city that the two maintenance
staff previously employed to maintain the course would no longer be available. For the 2013
season, the city has hired two part time seasonal Par 3 maintenance workers. The course is still
in need of a maintenance supervisor, with knowledge of turf and golf course practices. Staff is
recommending a revised contract with GM Management to continue overseeing maintenance
activities on a consultant basis.
The attached agreement would retain GM Management for the 2013 golf season as a consultant
golf course superintendent, providing insight and suggested activities to city staff. Staff views
this agreement as a means to maintain the healthy turf and good playing conditions that have
been developed since 2008, while allowing for more direct control over the work direction of
maintenance staff.
BUDGET IMPACT
The attached Par 3 Maintenance Consulting Contract is for $6,000 rather than $14,000, as
included in the 2013 budget for this item.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends entering into a Par 3 Maintenance Consulting Contract. If council wishes to
implement this recommendation, pass a motion authorizing staff to execute the agreement. This
action requires a simple majority vote.

FROM: Dave Dreelan, Assistant Fire Chief
SUBJECT: May Fire Synopsis
Fire Calls
The department responded to 26 calls for the month. The majority of calls were classified as
false alarms or as good intent calls. Eight of the calls were residential in nature, five calls were
commercial alarms, five calls were EMS calls, three calls were for mutual aid, two calls were
power lines down, and there were two car fires and one grass fire.
Monthly Squad Training
The squad training for the month focused on water supply. Firefighters trained on all the aspects
that are associated with hooking up to the fire hydrant, establishing a supply line to the apparatus
and flowing water to the various hand lines that could be used at a residential fire. Each
apparatus has three intakes that can be used to receive water from the hydrant and between 10
and 12 different discharges.
Monthly Squad Training
The department training for the month focused on maintaining our proficiency in drafting
operations. Drafting is the pumping procedure that the fire service uses when there are no
hydrants available so water is hauled by the tanker truck to the scene of a fire. All firefighters
had an opportunity to practice setting up the drafting operation and operating the department's
2,000 gallon tanker.

DATE: June 18, 2013
TO: City Council
FROM: Sloan Wallgren, Recreation Program Coordinator
SUBJECT: Par 3 Update — June 2013
BACKGROUND
The end of the school year coincides with the start of the busiest time of year for the Minnesota
golf industry. Weather so far this year has not been favorable for playing golf as well as growing
turf. The conditions of the course this year are very good, and should only improve as we get
some much overdue sunshine. We have had a few mechanical issues, but nothing major. Staff
has been able to minimize repair costs by doing a majority of repairs in- house.
Participation in recreation programs is slightly ahead of pace from 2012. The week of June 10th
2013 is the first week of our Women's Golf League, Junior Golf League, and Junior Golf
Camps. We have seen an increase in the number of registrations and revenue, and we have
lowered the cost of golf lessons and leagues. Attendance at our after school Golf Club with
Visitation School has grown to 19 participants.
There are several smaller golf events taking place at the Par 3 during the month of June, however
we still have plenty of availability to accommodate groups that are interested in playing golf.
BUDGET IMPACT
The attached monthly expenditure report shows revenues and expenditures through the end of
May. The course has taken in $33,825 in revenues; expenditures for this period total $30,460.
This results in net revenue over expenditure of $3,365 year to date.

SUBJECT: Approval of Plans and Specifications and Authorization to Advertise for Bids for
2013 Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation Project
BACKGROUND
Our sanitary sewer system is aging. Many of our pipes are 60 years old and will soon be in need of repair.
Cleaning our sewer system on a regular cycle will help extend the life of the pipes. Televising of the
system will show where immediate repairs are needed. Lining pipes in need of repair with cured-in- place-
pipe will extend the life of our system.
The 2013 Sanitary Sewer Rehabilitation Project consists of lining approximately 3000 feet of sanitary
sewer. The locations were determined from the report provided with the 2011 sanitary sewer cleaning
and televising project. Staff anticipates lining as many sanitary sewer pipes as possible without exceeding
the budgeted amounts with the following priority:
1) Highway 13 from Sutcliff Circle to Fremont Avenue.
2) Fremont Avenue from Highway 13 to 475' East of Highway 13.
3) Wachtler Avenue from Lower Colonial Drive to Upper Colonial Drive
4) Cherry Hill Road from Ivy Lane to 300' south of Ivy Lane
The completion date for the project is December 13, 2013.
BUDGET IMPACT
The project costs will be funded through the Sanitary Sewer Utility Fund which has sufficient funds to
cover the project costs. The 2013 city budget includes $172,000 for sanitary sewer maintenance The
sanitary sewer cleaning and televising project will cost approximately $39,000 which leaves
approximately $133,000 for sanitary sewer lining. Staff anticipates lining as many sanitary sewer pipes
as possible without exceeding the budgeted amounts.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the council approve the final plans and specifications and authorize staff to
advertise for bids.
If city council wishes to implement the staff recommendations, pass a motion adopting
RESOLUTION 2013 -40 APPROVING FINAL PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS, AND AUTHORIZING
ADVERTISEMENT FOR BIDS FOR THE 2013 SANITARY SEWER REHABILITATION
PROJECT (PROJECT #201305). This action requires a simple majority vote.

SUBJECT: Accept Bids and Award Contract for 2013 Sanitary Sewer Cleaning and
Televising Project
BACKGROUND
Three proposals (see attached resolution) were received and opened on Wednesday, June 12,
2013 for the Sanitary Sewer Televising and Cleaning Project. Overline & Son, Inc. submitted
the low bid of $33,189.58. Their bid was lower than the Engineer's Estimate of $49,148.35.
Based on the age of the pipe, staff anticipates that some additional work may be required that is
not included in the low bid such as cutting root blockages, sags in the lines, or unforeseen
restoration work.
Our sanitary sewer system is aging. Many of our pipes are 60 years old and will soon be in need
of repair. Cleaning our sewer system on a regular cycle will help extend the life of the pipes.
Televising of the system will show where immediate repairs are needed. Lining pipes in need of
repair with cured -in- place -pipe will extend the life of our system.
In 2002, $30,000 of damage was reported due to sewer problems. In 2006 there were four sewer
backups with insurance claims totaling over $10,000. Due to the city's proactive approach
beginning in 2006, payouts resulting from sewer backups totaled less than $500 since 2008. In
2011, the city successfully defended itself again a sanitary sewer backup claim due to the city's
proactive approach to sanitary sewer maintenance. We want to continue preventing sewer
backups and future damage expenses.
The City of Mendota Heights maintains 72.2 miles of sanitary sewer pipe. Currently, Rich
Burrows along with one seasonal employee cleans approximately 10 miles of pipe per year. In
addition, last year the city contracted with Overline & Son, Inc. for cleaning approximately 4.0
miles of the City's sanitary sewer system and televising approximately 11.6 miles of the City's
sanitary sewer system. At our current rate, we are cleaning the system every 4 -6 years
The proposed project is for the cleaning of approximately 3.2 miles of the City's sanitary sewer
system and televising approximately 12.9 miles of the City's sanitary sewer system. The project
area (see attached map) was last cleaned and televised in 2008.
page 56
The completion date for the project is November 1, 2013. I expect that Overline & Son, Inc. is
capable of meeting the completion dates and implementing the project in accordance with the
plans and specifications given.
BUDGET IMPACT
The project costs will be funded through the Sanitary Sewer Utility Fund which has sufficient
funds to cover the project costs. The 2013 city budget includes $172,000 for sanitary sewer
maintenance. The sanitary sewer cleaning and televising project will cost approximately
$39,000 which leaves approximately $133,000 for sanitary sewer lining. Staff does not
anticipate exceeding the budgeted amounts.
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the council accept the bids and award the contract to Overline & Son, Inc.
for their bid in the amount of $33,189.58.
If city council wishes to implement the staff recommendation, pass a motion adopting A
RESOLUTION ACCEPTING BIDS AND AWARDING CONTRACT FOR THE 2013
SANITARY SEWER CLEANING AND TELEVISING (PROJECT #201304). This action
requires a simple majority vote.

SUBJECT: Authorization to Provide Surveying Services and Geotechnical Services for the
Victoria Road & Rolling Green Neighborhood Improvements
BACKGROUND
The feasibility report for the Victoria Road & Rolling Green Neighborhood Improvements was
ordered by the Mendota Heights City Council at the June 4, 2013, city council meeting. The
proposed project includes reconstructing the rural section of Victoria Road from Lexington
Avenue to Caren Road and rehabilitating the urban sections of Walsh Lane from Marie Avenue
to 150' south of Stratford Road, Stratford Road, Oxford Court, Windwood Court, Rolling Green
Curve, and Coventry Court.
The Engineering Department is currently busy with the construction of Trunk Highway 110 &
Trunk Highway 149 (Dodd Road) Intersection Improvements, construction of the Hunter &
Orchard Neighborhood Improvements, construction of Crown Point & Overlook Neighborhood
Improvements, finalizing 2012 street reconstruction and rehabilitation projects, obtaining CAMP
samples on Lake Lemay, and NPDES Phase II Requirements.
Staff requested proposals from two surveying companies and received proposals from both of the
companies. Pioneer Engineering provided a proposal with an estimated cost of $13,500.00 to
complete the topographic survey for Victoria Road & Rolling Green Neighborhood
Improvements. The survey data will be used to design the reconstruction project if the project is
approved this fall. The other proposal received had a price of $24,780.00. Pioneer Engineering
is a local company that staff has worked with in the past and staff feels that they will complete
the survey work to our satisfaction.
Staff also requested proposals from four geotechnical companies and received proposals from
three of the companies. Northern Technologies, Inc. provided a proposal with an estimated cost
of $4,350.00 to complete the geotechnical services for the Victoria Road & Rolling Green
Neighborhood Improvements which include soil borings, pavement design recommendations and
recommendations for utility construction. The other proposals received had prices of $5,970.00
and $7,000.00. Staff has worked with Northern Technologies, Inc. on several projects in the past
with excellent results.
page 60
BUDGET IMPACT
Surveying services and geotechnical services are included as indirect costs for the project. Staff
anticipated these project costs and a summary is shown below:
Estimated Actual
Surveying Services $15,000.00 $13,500.00
Geotechnical Services $5,000.00 $4,350.00
Total $20,000.00 $17,850.00
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the council authorize staff to sign the proposal from Pioneer Engineering
for surveying services and the proposal from Northern Technologies, Inc. for geotechnical
services.
If city council wishes to implement the staff recommendations, pass a motion by simple majority
vote authorizing staff to sign the proposal from Pioneer Engineering for surveying services with
a not to exceed amount of $13,500.00 and authorize staff to sign the proposal from Northern
Technologies, Inc. for geotechnical services with a not to exceed amount of $4,350.00.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS REPORT
Honorable Mayor and Members
of the City Council
City of Mendota Heights
Mendota Heights, Minnesota
Report on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities,
each major fund, and the aggregate remaining fund information of the City of Mendota Heights, Minnesota, as of
and for the year ended December 31, 2012, and the related notes to the financial statements, which collectively
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these financial statements in accordance
with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design,
implementation and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of financial
statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements based on our audit. We conducted our audit
in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. Those standards require
that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free
from material misstatement.
An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the
risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk
financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the
such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the
reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall
presentation of the financial statements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit
opinions.
Opinions
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the respective
financial position of the governmental activities, the business-type activities, each major fund, and the aggregate
remaining fund information of the City of Mendota Heights, Minnesota, as of December 31, 2012, and the
respective changes in financial position and, where applicable, cash flows thereof and the budgetary comparison
for the General Fund for the year then ended in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America.
2
Implementation of GASB 63 and GASB 65
As discussed in Note 18 to the financial statements, the City has adopted the provisions of the Governmental
Accounting Standards Board (GASB) Statement No. 63, Financial Reporting of Deferred Outflows of Resources,
Deferred Inflows of Resources and Net Position and GASB No. 65, Items Previously Reported as Assets and
Liabilities.
Other Matters
Required Supplementary Information
Accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America require that
and Analysis, which follows this report letter, and the Schedule of Funding Progress Other Post Employment
Benefits on page 56 be presented to supplement the basic financial statements. Such information, although not a
part of the basic financial statements, is required by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board who considers
it to be an essential part of financial reporting for placing the basic financial statements in an appropriate
operational, economic, or historical context. We have applied certain limited procedures to the required
supplementary information in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of
America, which consisted of inquiries of management about the methods of preparing the information and
comparing the information for cons
statements, and other knowledge we obtained during our audit of the basic financial statements. We do not express
an opinion or provide any assurance on the information because the limited procedures do not provide us with
sufficient evidence to express an opinion or provide any assurance.
Other Information
Our audit was conducted for the purpose of forming opinions on the financial statements that collectively comprise
s basic financial statements. The accompanying supplementary information identified in the Table of
Contents is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements.
The supplementary information is the responsibility of management and was derived from and relates directly to
the underlying accounting and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements. Such information has
been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the basic financial statements and certain
additional procedures, including comparing and reconciling such information directly to the underlying accounting
and other records used to prepare the basic financial statements or to the basic financial statements themselves, and
other additional procedures in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of
America. In our opinion, the supplementary information is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the
basic financial statements as a whole.

ION AND ANALYSIS
December 31, 2012
As management of the City of Mendota Heights, Minnesota (the City), we offer readers of the
financial statements this narrative overview and analysis of the financial activities of the City for the
year ended December 31, 2012.
FINANCIAL AND DEVELOPMENT HIGHLIGHTS
The assets of the City exceeded liabilities at the close of the most recent year by $ 53,258,038 (net
position). Of this amount, $ 9,949,373 (unrestricted net position) may be used to meet the City
ongoing obligations to citizens and creditors.
The Cityt position increased by $ 1,208,237. Governmental activities resulted in an increase
of net position of $ 1,259,223. Business activities had net position decrease by $ 50,986.
As of the close of the current year, the Citynding fund
balance of $ 11,406,025, a decrease of $ 809,112 from the prior year.
At the end of the year the General Fund had an unassigned fund balance of $ 5,980,182, or 91.34% of
total General Fund expenditures.
OVERVIEW OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The discussion and analysis are intended to serve as an introduction to the Csic financial
statements. The C-wide
financial statements, 2) fund financial statements, and 3) Notes to the Financial Statements. This report
also contains other supplementary information in addition to the basic financial statements themselves.
Government-Wide Financial Statements
The government-wide financial statements are designed to provide readers with a broad overview of the
C-sector business.
The Statement of Net Position presents information on all of the C
difference between the two reported as net position. Over time, increases or decreases in net position
may serve as a useful indicator of whether the financial position of the City is improving or
deteriorating.
The Statement of Activities presents informposition changed during
the most recent year. All changes in net position are reported as soon as the underlying event giving rise
to the change occurs, regardless of the timing of related cash flows. Thus, revenues and expenses are
reported in this statement for some items that will only result in cash flows in future periods (e.g.
uncollected taxes and earned but unused vacation leave).
Both of the government-wide financial statements distinguish functions of the City that are principally
supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues (governmental activities) and from other functions
that are intended to recover all or a significant portion of their costs through user fees and charges
(business-type activities). The governmental activities of the City include general government, public
safety and public works. The business-type activities of the City include sewer, storm water and the Par
3 golf course.
The government-wide financial statements can be found on pages 16 and 17 of this report.

CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS
ION AND ANALYSIS
December 31, 2012
OVERVIEW OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Fund Financial Statements
A fund is a grouping of related accounts that is used to maintain control over resources that have been
segregated for specific activities or objectives. The City, like other state and local governments, uses
fund accounting to ensure and demonstrate compliance with finance-related legal requirements. All of
the funds of the City can be divided into two categories: governmental funds and proprietary funds.
Governmental Funds
Governmental funds are used to account for essentially the same functions reported as governmental
activities in the government-wide financial statements. However, unlike the government-wide financial
statements, governmental fund financial statements focus on near-term inflows and outflows of
spendable resource, as well as on balances of spendable resources available at the end of the year. Such
-term financial requirements.
Because the focus of governmental funds is narrower than that of the government-wide financial
statements, it is useful to compare the information presented for governmental funds with similar
information presented for governmental activities in the government-wide financial statement. By doing
so, readers may better understand the long-term impact of the C-term financial decisions. Both
the Governmental Fund Balance Sheet and Governmental Fund Statement of Revenues, Expenditures
and Changes in Fund Balances provide a reconciliation to facilitate this comparison between
governmental funds and governmental activities.
The City maintains four individual major governmental funds. Information is presented separately in
the Governmental Fund Balance Sheet and in the Governmental Fund Statement of Revenues,
Expenditures and Changes in Fund Balances for the following major funds:
General Fund
Special Assessments Debt Service Fund
Street Capital Projects Fund
Special Assessment Capital Project
Data from the other governmental funds are combined into a single, aggregated presentation. Individual
fund data for each of these nonmajor governmental funds is provided in the form of combining
statements elsewhere in this report.
The City adopts an annual appropriated budget for its General Fund. A budgetary comparison statement
has been provided for those funds to demonstrate compliance with this budget.
The basic governmental fund financial statements can be found on pages 18 through 25 of this report.

CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS
ION AND ANALYSIS
December 31, 2012
OVERVIEW OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Proprietary Funds
The City maintains three enterprise funds and three internal service funds as a part of its proprietary
fund type. Enterprise funds are used to report the same functions presented as business-type activities in
the government-wide financial statements. The City uses enterprise funds to account for its sewer,
storm water operations and Par 3 golf course.
Proprietary funds provide the same type of information as the government-wide financial statements,
only in more detail. The proprietary fund financial statements provide separate information for the
following funds:
Enterprise funds:
Sewer Utility Fund
Storm Water Utility Fund
Par 3 Golf Course
Internal service funds are an accounting device used to accumulate and allocate costs internally among
the ity uses internal service funds to account for compensated absences,
city hall and engineering functions. The internal service funds are combined into a single, aggregated
presentation in the proprietary fund financial statements. Individual fund data for the internal service
funds is provided in the form of combining statements elsewhere in this report.
The basic proprietary fund financial statements can be found on pages 26 through 28 of this report.
Notes to the Financial Statements
The notes provide additional information that is essential to a full understanding of the data provided in
the government-wide and fund financial statements. The Notes to the Financial Statements can be found
on 29 through 53 of this report.
Other Information
The combining statements referred to earlier in connection with non-major governmental funds are
presented immediately following the required supplementary information on budgetary comparisons.
Combining and individual fund statements and schedules can be found on pages 57 through 67 of this
report.
GOVERNMENT-WIDE FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
As noted earlier, net position may serve over time as a us financial
position. In the case of the City, assets exceeded liabilities by $ 53,258,038 at the close of the most
recent year.

CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS
ION AND ANALYSIS
December 31, 2012
GOVERNMENT-WIDE FINANCIAL ANALYSIS
The largest portion of the Cposition ($ 38,174,373 or 71.68 %) reflects its investment in capital
assets (e.g. land, buildings, machinery and equipment, sewer main lines and storm sewers and
infrastructure) less any related debt used to acquire those assets that is still outstanding. The City uses
these capital assets to provide services to citizens; consequently, these assets are not available for future
spending. Although the C
noted that the resources needed to repay this debt must be provided from other sources, since the capital
assets themselves cannot be used to liquidate these liabilities.

of $ 11,406,025. Nonspendable fund balances are already allocated for prepaid items ($ 150,517) and
inventory ($ 39,825). Approximately 22.99% ($ 2,622,363) constitutes restricted fund balance.
Restricted fund balance would include debt service, special park and street light district funds, all of

$ 522,653. This represents fund balance that is to be used for the water system and civil defense needs.
The City has assigned fund balance of $ 2,160,580 (18.94%). This number represents the fund balances
for the capital projects that the City has ongoing and an amount allocated for insurance reserves. The
remaining category of fund balance is the unassigned fund balance. The City has $ 5,910,087 of
unassigned fund balance which is approximately 51.82% of the combined governmental fund balance at

BUDGETARY HIGHLIGHTS
General Fund
The General Fund budget was not amended during 2012.
During the year, revenues were more than budgetary estimates by $ 470,044, and expenditures were less
than budgetary estimates by $ 26,294.
The General Fund had higher than budgeted revenues for most categories. The City received higher
than anticipated revenues for licenses and fees due to increased building activity. Intergovernmental
revenue was greater than budgeted due to the money the City received from FEMA to cover expenses
related to the June storm cleanup. These two items account for a majority of the increase in revenues.
The net public safety and public works functions both had expenditures under budgeted amounts. The
general government function expenditures were greater than budgeted. The administration budget
accounted for the Laserfiche purchase that was originally budgeted for in 2011, but not purchased until
2012. This purchase accounts for the general government function exceeding budgeted amounts. The
public safety function had expenses less than budgeted. The police department had increased labor costs
and fuel costs which made the expenditures for the police department greater than budgeted. The fire
department had lower than budgeted expenditures. The public works function also had expenditures that
were lower than budgeted amounts. The street department and parks department both had lower than
anticipated expenditures. The code enforcement department had expenditures that were slightly above
projected amounts. In total, the expenditures for the General Fund were $ 26,294 under budgeted
amounts.

Net Change in Fund Balances - Governmental Funds
$ (809,112)
Amounts reported for governmental activities in the Statement of Activities
are different because:
Capital outlays are reported in governmental funds as expenditures. However,
in the Statement of Activities, the cost of those assets is allocated over the
estimated useful lives as depreciation expense.
4,415,603
Capital Outlays
Depreciation Expense (1,661,911)
(10,496)
Loss on Sale of Disposed Assets
Assets Contributed to Enterprise Funds (207,291)
OPEB are not reported as expenditures in the governmental funds because
they do not require the use of current financial resources; instead, they are
(43,897)
expensed in the Statement of Activities.
Principal payments on long-term debt are recognized as expenditures in the
governmental funds but have no effect on net position in the Statement of Activities. 2,190,000
Premiums on the issuance of long-term debt provide current financial resources to governmental
funds and have no effect on net position. These amounts are reported in the governmental
funds as an other financing source and constitute long-term liabilities in the Statement of Net Position. (24,096)
Premiums are recognized when debt is issued in the governmental funds but amortized over the life
104
of the debt in the Statement of Activities.
Interest on long-term debt in the Statement of Activities differs from the
amount reported in the governmental funds because interest is recognized
as an expenditure in the funds when it is due and thus requires use of current
financial resources. In the Statement of Activities, however, interest expense
279
is recognized as the interest accrues, regardless of when it is due.
Proceeds from long-term debt are recognized as an other financing source in the
governmental funds but have no effect on net assets in the Statement of Activities.
(2,630,000)
Bonds Payable
Revenues in the Statement of Activities that do not provide current
financial resources are not reported as revenues in the funds. (48,353)
Activities of the internal service funds are presented separately

NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2012
NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A. Reporting Entity
The City of Mendota Heights is a statutory city governed by an elected mayor and four council members.
The accompanying financial statements present the government entities for which the government is
considered to be financially accountable.
The financial statements present the City and its component units. The City includes all funds,
organizations, institutions, agencies, departments and offices that are not legally separate from such.
Component units are legally separate organizations for which the elected officials of the City are
financially accountable and are included within the basic financial statements of the City because of the
significance of their operational or financial relationships with the City.
The City is considered financially accountable for a component unit if it appoints a voting majority of
the organizations governing body and it is able to impose its will on the organization by significantly
influencing the programs, projects, activities or level of services performed or provided by the
organization or there is a potential for the organization to provide specific financial benefits to or impose
specific financial burdens on, the City.
As a result of applying the component unit definition criteria above, the City has no component units.
B.Government-Wide and Fund Financial Statements
The government-wide financial statements (i.e., the Statement of Net Position and the Statement of
Activities) report information on all of the nonfiduciary activities of the City. Governmental activities,
which normally are supported by taxes and intergovernmental revenues, are reported separately from
business-type activities, which rely to a significant extent on fees and charges for support.
The Statement of Activities demonstrates the degree to which the direct expenses of a given function or
segment is offset by program revenues. Direct expenses are those that are clearly identifiable with a
specific function or segment. Interest on general long-term debt is considered an indirect expense and is
reported separately in the Statement of Activities. Program revenues include 1) charges to customers or
applicants who purchase, use or directly benefit from goods, services or privileges provided by a given
function or segment and 2) grants and contributions that are restricted to meeting the operational or
capital requirements of a particular function or segment. Taxes and other items not properly included
among program revenues are reported instead as general revenues. Internally dedicated revenues are
reported as general revenues rather than program revenues.
Separate financial statements are provided for governmental funds and proprietary funds. Major
individual governmental funds and major individual enterprise funds are reported as separate columns in
the fund financial statements.
The Internal Service Funds are presented in the internal service fund financial statements. Because the
principal user of internal
Internal Service Fund is consolidated into the governmental column when presented in the government-
wide financial statements. The cost of these services is reported in the appropriate functional activity.

NOTE 1 SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
C. Measurement Focus, Basis of Accounting and Financial Statement Presentation
The government-wide financial statements are reported using the economic resources measurement
focus and the accrual basis of accounting, as are the proprietary fund financial statements. Revenues are
recorded when earned and expenses are recorded when a liability is incurred, regardless of the timing of
related cash flows. Property taxes are recognized as revenues in the year for which they are levied.
Grants and similar items are recognized as revenue as soon as all eligibility requirements imposed by the
provider have been met.
Governmental fund financial statements are reported using the current financial resources measurement
focus and the modified accrual basis of accounting. Revenues are recognized as soon as they are both
measurable and available. Revenues are considered to be available when they are collectible within the
current period or soon enough thereafter to pay liabilities of the current period. For this purpose, the
City considers revenues to be available if they are collected within 60 days of the end of the current
period. Expenditures generally are recorded when a liability is incurred, as under accrual accounting.
However, debt service expenditures, as well as expenditures related to compensated absences and claims
and judgments, are recorded only when payment matures.
Property taxes, franchise taxes, licenses and interest associated with the current period are all considered
to be susceptible to accrual and so have been recognized as revenues of the current period. Only the
portion of special assessments receivable due within the current period is considered to be susceptible to
accrual as revenue of the current period. All other revenue items are considered to be measurable and
available only when cash is received by the City.
Description of Funds:
Major Governmental Funds:
General Fund This Fund is the general operating fund of the City. It is used to account for all
financial resources except those required to be accounted for in another fund.
Special Assessments Debt Service Fund This Fund receives all special assessment payments and is
dedicated for the repayment of debt incurred on a specific project.
Street Capital Projects Fund This Fund is used to account for the proceeds and disbursements of
funds for street improvement expenditures.
Special Assessment Capital Project Fund This Fund is used to account for the proceeds and
disbursements of funds for projects that are not included in the Street Capital Project Fund.

Storm Water Utility Fund This Fund is used to account for the Citys storm water utility.
Par 3 Golf Course Fund This Fund is used to account for the Citys operation of the Par 3 Golf
Course.
Additional Fund Types:
Internal Service Funds These Funds account for the financing of goods or services provided by one
department to other departments of the City on a cost-
Service Funds account for engineering, compensated absences and City Hall expenses.
As a general rule, the effect of interfund activity has been eliminated from the government-wide
financial st
various other functions of the City. Elimination of these charges would distort the direct costs and
program revenues reported for the various functions concerned.
Proprietary Funds distinguish operating revenues and expenses from nonoperating items. Operating
revenues and expenses generally result from providing services and producing and delivering goods in
ing operations. The principal operating revenues of
Operating expenses for the Enterprise Funds and Internal Service Funds include the cost of sales and
services, administrative expenses and depreciation on capital assets. All revenues and expenses not
meeting this definition are reported as nonoperating revenues and expenses.
When both restricted and unrestricted resources are available for use, the City uses restricted resources
first, then unrestricted resources as they are needed. Further, the City applies unrestricted funds in this
order if various levels of unrestricted fund balances exist: committed, assigned and unassigned.

Minnesota Statutes authorizes the City to invest in obligations of the U.S. Treasury, agencies and
instrumentalities, shares of investment companies whose only investments are in the aforementioned
contracts, repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements and commercial paper of the highest quality
with a maturity of no longer than 270 days and in the Minnesota Municipal Investment Pool.

2. Receivables and Payables
All trade and property tax receivables are shown at a gross amount since both are assessable to the
property taxes and are collectible upon the sale of the property.
The City levies its property tax for the subsequent year during the month of December. December 28
is the last day the City can certify a tax levy to the County Auditor for collection the following year.
Such taxes become a lien on January 1 and are recorded as receivables by the City at that date. The
property tax is recorded as revenue when it becomes measurable and available. Dakota County is the
collecting agency for the levy and remits the collections to the City three times a year. The tax levy
notice is mailed in March with the first half of the payment due on May 15 and the second half due
on October 15. Taxes not collected as of December 31 each year are shown as delinquent taxes
receivable.
The County Auditor prepares the tax list for all taxable property in the City, applying the applicable
tax rate to the tax capacity of individual properties, to arrive at the actual tax for each property. The
County Auditor also collects all special assessments, except for certain prepayments paid directly to
the City.
The County Auditor submits the list of taxes and special assessments to be collected on each parcel
of property to the County Treasurer in January of each year.
3. Inventories
Inventories are valued at cost, which approximates market, using the first-in, first-out (FIFO)
method. Inventory consists of expendable supplies held for consumption. Inventories of
governmental funds are recorded as expenditures when consumed rather than when purchased.
Inventory land held for resale represents land owned by the City with the intent to sell to
developers. This land is recorded at the lesser of historical cost or expected net realizable value.
4. Prepaid Items
Certain payments to vendors reflect costs applicable to future accounting periods and are recorded as
prepaid items in both government-wide and fund financial statements.

5. Capital Assets
Capital assets, which include property, plant, equipment, intangible and infrastructure assets (e.g.,
roads, sidewalks, easements and similar items), are reported in the applicable governmental or
business-type activities columns in the government-wide financial statements. Capital assets are
defined by the City as assets with an initial, individual cost of more than $ 5,000 and an estimated
useful life in excess of one year. Such assets are recorded at historical cost or estimated historical
cost if purchased or constructed. Donated capital assets are recorded at estimated fair market value
at the date of donation.
The costs of normal maintenance and repairs that do not add to the value of the asset or materially
extend assets lives are not capitalized.
Property, plant and equipment of the City are depreciated using the straight-line method over the
following estimated useful lives:

Buildings15-100
Other Improvements10-40
Machinery and Equipment3-25
Infrastructure30-100
6. Compensated Absences\Severance
The City allows employees to accrue vacation based on years of service to carry over to the next
year. Accrued vacation shall be used in the year following the year which said time is earned and
any time accrued will be paid out at termination. At the end of the year the vacation balance cannot
exceed 200 hours.
The full-time union employees accrue vacation based on years of service to
carry over to the next year. Accrued vacation shall be used in the year following the year which said
time is earned. At the end of the year the vacation balance cannot exceed 200 hours.
All permanent full-time employees accrue personal leave at the rate of 4 hours per month, to a
maximum of 320 hours. Any balances in excess of 320 hours will be converted to cash
compensation or additional vacation time at a ratio of 50%.
All compensated absences pay is accrued when incurred in the government-wide and proprietary
fund financial statements. A liability for these amounts is reported in governmental funds only if
they have matured as a result of employee termination or similar circumstances. These liabilities are
paid by the governmental fund the employee provided most of its service to. The unused vacation
and sick leave of the proprietary funds is included in accrued liabilities of the respective fund.

In the government-wide financial statements, and proprietary fund types in the fund financial
statements, long-term debt and other long-term obligations are reported as liabilities in the applicable
governmental activities, business-type activities or proprietary fund type Statement of Net Position.
Bond premiums and discounts are deferred and amortized over the life of the bonds using the
straight-line method. Bonds payable are reported net of the applicable bond premium or discount.
In the fund financial statements, governmental fund types recognize bond premiums and discounts,
as well as bond issuance costs, during the current period. The face amount of debt issued is reported
as other financing sources. Premiums received on debt issuances are reported as other financing
sources while discounts on debt issuances are reported as other financing uses. Issuance costs,
whether or not withheld from the actual debt proceeds received, are reported as debt service
expenditures.

In the fund financial statements, governmental funds report fund classifications that comprise a
hierarchy based primarily on the extent to which the City is bound to honor constraints on the
specific purpose for which amounts in those funds can be spent.

a) constraints placed on the use of resources by creditors, grantors, contributors, or laws or
regulations of other governments or b) imposed by law through constitutional provisions or
enabling legislation.

a.Classification (Continued)
Unassigned Fund Balance These are residual amounts in the General Fund not reported in
any other classification. The General Fund is the only fund that can report a positive
unassigned fund balance. Other funds would report a negative unassigned fund balance
should the total of nonspendable, restricted and committed fund balances exceed the total net
resources of that fund.
b.Minimum Fund Balance
The City will strive to maintain a General Fund unassigned fund balance of 65% of the following
9. Net Position
Net position represents the difference between assets and liabilities in the government-wide financial
statements. Net investment in capital assets consists of capital assets, net of accumulated
depreciation reduced by the outstanding balance of any long-term debt used to build or acquire the
capital assets. A reclassification of $ 2,792,050 was made between this net position class and
unrestricted net position in the total column on the Statement of Net Position to recognize the portion
of debt attributable to capital assets donated from governmental activities to business-type activities.
Net position is reported as restricted in the government-wide financial statement when there are
limitations on their use through external restrictions imposed by creditors, grantors or laws or
regulations of other governments.
10. Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted
in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect
the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the
date of the financial statements. Estimates also affect the reported amounts of revenue and
expenditures/expense during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NOTE 11 RISK MANAGEMENT
The City purchases commercial insurance coverage through the League of Minnesota Cities Insurance
Trust (LMCIT) with other cities in the state which is a public entity risk pool currently operating as a
common risk management and insurance program. The City pays an annual premium to the LMCIT for
its insurance coverage. The LMCIT is self-sustaining through commercial companies for excess claims.
The City is covered through the pool for any claims incurred but unreported, however, retains risk for the
deductible portion of its insurance policies. The amount of these deductibles is considered immaterial to
the financial statements.
During the year ended December 31, 2012, there were no significant reductions in insurance or
settlements in excess of insurance coverage for any of the past three years.
Workers compensation coverage is provided through a pooled self-insurance program through the
LMCIT. The City pays an annual premium to LMCIT. For workers compensation, the City is not
subject to a deductible.
However, the actual premium is adjusted based on audited payroll amounts.

accrual rate for a Coordinated Plan member is 1.2% of average salary for each of the first 10 years and
1.7% for each remaining year. Under Method 2, the annuity accrual rate is 2.7% of average salary for

members who leave public service, but before retirement benefits begin.

to active Plan participants. Vested, terminated employees who are entitled to benefits but are not yet
receiving them are bound by the provisions in effect at the time they last terminated their public service.

NOTE 12 DEFINED BENEFIT PENSION PLANS STATE-WIDE
B.Funding Policy
Minnesota Statutes Chapter 353 sets the rates for employer and employee contributions. These Statutes
are established and amended by the State Legislature. The City makes annual contributions to the
pension plans equal to the amount required by state statutes. GERF Basic Plan members and
Coordinated Plan members were required to contribute 9.1% and 6.25%, respectively, of their annual
covered salary in 2012. PEPFF members were required to contribute 9.6% of their annual covered salary
in 2012. In 2012, the City was required to contribute the following percentages of annual covered
payroll: 11.78% for Basic Plan members, 7.25% for Coordinated Plan members and 14.4% for PEPFF
s ending
December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 were $ 137,214, $ 128,778 and $ 125,048
contributions to PEPFF for the years ending December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 were $ 224,240,
$ 213,415 and $ 201,074
contributions for each year as set by state statute.
NOTE 13 POST EMPLOYMENT HEALTH CARE PLAN
A. Plan Description
The City provides a single-employer defined benefit health care plan to eligible retirees and their
spouses. The plan offers medical coverage and dental coverage. Medical coverage is administered by
BlueCross Blue
periodically review its medical coverage and to obtain requests for proposals in order to provide the most
favorable benefits and premiums for City employees and retirees.
B.Funding Policy
Retirees and their spouses contribute to the health care plan at the same rate as City employees. This
results in the retirees receiving an implicit rate subsidy. Contribution requirements are established by the
City, based on the contract terms with BlueCross BlueShield and Delta Dental. The required
contributions are based on projected pay-as-you-go financing requirements. For the year 2012, the City
contributed $ 16,146 to the plan. As of January 1, 2012, there was one retiree receiving health and
dental benefits from the City.

of the City, an amount actuarially determined in accordance with the parameters of GASB Statement
No. 45. The City prospectively implemented this Statement during the 2010 year. The ARC represents
a level of funding that, if paid on an ongoing basis, is projected to cover normal cost each year and
amortize any unfunded actuarial liabilities (or funding excess) over a period not to exceed 30 years. The

D. Funded Status and Funding Progress
As of January 1, 2012, the most recent actuarial valuation date, the City had no assets deposited to fund
the plan. The actuarial accrued liability for benefits was $ 506,367 and the actuarial value of assets was
$ 0, resulting in an unfunded actuarial accrued liability (UAAL) of $ 506,367. The covered payroll
(annual payroll of active employees covered by the plan) was $ 3,176,568 and the ratio of the UAAL to
the covered payroll was 15.9%.
Actuarial valuations involve estimates of the value of reported amounts and assumptions about the
probability of occurrence of events far into the future. Examples include assumptions about future
employment, mortality and the health care cost trend. Amounts determined regarding the funded status
of the plan and the ARC of the employer are subject to continual revision as actual results are compared
with past expectations and new estimates are made about the future.
The Schedule of Funding Progress Other Post Employment Benefits, presented as required
supplementary information following the Notes to the Financial Statements, presents multi-year trend
information about whether the actuarial value of plan assets is increasing or decreasing over time relative
to the actuarial accrued liabilities for benefits.

NOTE 13 POST EMPLOYMENT HEALTH CARE PLAN
E.Actuarial Methods and Assumptions
Projections of benefits for financial reporting purposes are based on the substantive plan (the plan as
understood by the employer and the plan members) and include the types of benefits provided at the time
of each valuation and the historical pattern of sharing of benefit costs between the employer and plan
members to that point. The actuarial methods and assumptions used include techniques that are
designed to reduce the effects of short-term volatility in actuarial accrued liabilities, consistent with the
long-term perspective of the calculations.
Atthe January 1, 2012 actuarial valuation date, the projected unit credit actuarial cost method was used.
The actuarial assumptions included a 4.5% discount rate, which is based on the investment yield
expected to finance benefits depending on whether the plan is funded in a separate trust (about 7% to
8.5%, long-term, similar to a pension plan) or unfunded (3.5% to 5%, shorter-
general assets). The City currently does not plan to prefund for this benefit. At the actuarial valuation
date, the annual health care cost trend rate was calculated to be 8% initially, reduced incrementally to an
ultimate rate of 5% after 6 years. Both rates included a 2.5% inflation assumption. The UAAL is being
amortized as a level dollar amount of payroll on a closed basis. The remaining amortization period at
January 1, 2012 was 30 years.

NOTE 17 SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
The City has evaluated subsequent events through May 20, 2013, the date which the financial statements
were available to be issued.
NOTE 18 CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING PRINCIPLE
For the year ended December 31, 2012, the City has implemented GASB Statement No. 63 and GASB
Statement No. 65. Implementation of GASB Statement No. 63 resulted in the establishment of
categories outside of assets and liabilities titled deferred outflows and deferred inflows. The Statement
also retitled Net Assets as Net Position. Implementation of GASB Statement No. 65 resulted in reporting
for deferred outflows and deferred inflows as established by GASB Statement No. 63. This statement
also retroactively eliminated the recognition of $ 94,143 in deferred charges associated with bond
issuances.
NOTE 19 GASB STATEMENT ISSUED BUT NOT YET IMPLEMENTED
GASB Statement No. 68 replaces the requirements of Statement No. 27, Accounting for Pensions by
State and Local Governmental Employers and Statement No. 50, Pension Disclosures, as they relate to
governments that provide pensions through pension plans administered as trusts or similar arrangements
that meet certain criteria. Statement 68 requires governments providing defined benefit pensions to
recognize their long-term obligation for pension benefits as a liability for the first time, and to more
comprehensively and comparably measure the annual costs of pension benefits.

REPORT ON LEGAL COMPLIANCE
Honorable Mayor and Members
of the City Council
City of Mendota Heights
Mendota Heights, Minnesota
We have audited, in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of
America, the financial statements of the governmental activities, the business-type activities and each
major fund and the aggregate remaining fund information of City of Mendota Heights, Minnesota as of
and for the year ended December 31, 2012, and the related Notes to the Financial Statements, and have
issued our report thereon dated May 29, 2013.
The Minnesota Legal Compliance Audit Guide for Political Subdivisions, promulgated by the State
Auditor pursuant to Minn. Sat. § 6.65, contains seven categories of compliance to be tested: contracting
and bidding, deposits and investments, conflicts of interest, public indebtedness, claims and
disbursements, miscellaneous provisions, and tax increment financing. Our audit considered all of the
listed categories, except we did not test for compliance in Tax Increment Financing because the City has
no Tax Increment Financing.
In connection with our audit, nothing came to our attention that caused us to believe that the City of
Mendota Heights, Minnesota failed to comply with the provisions of the Minnesota Legal Compliance
Audit Guide for Political Subdivisions. However, our audit was not directed primarily toward obtaining
knowledge of such noncompliance. Accordingly, had we performed additional procedures, other matters
provisions.
This report is intended solely for the information and use of those charged with governance and
management of the City and the State Auditor and is not intended to be and should not be used by
anyone other than these specified parties.

TO: Mayor, City Council, and City Administrator
FROM: John R. Mazzitello, PE, PMP, MBA
Public Works Director /City Engineer
SUBJECT: Supplement to Item 7a on the June 18, 2013 City Council Meeting Agenda
BACKGROUND
In response to questions from Council staff has researched the following infoimation with
respect to the annual audit:
Q: Does the auditor have a value of the water system, pipes, main and water tower? Assuming
they do, what is it?
A: The water system is included in the Statement of Net Position (p. 16) in the infrastructure
number. It is currently valued on the statement at $9,710,594, net of depreciation. This number
was calculated when the city implemented GASB 34. The water tower is listed in the buildings
and structures number at $1,955,272.
Q: Can you walk us through the grants the city has as referenced on pg. 10 of the annual report?
A: On page 10 the graph has categories of operating grants and contributions and capital grants
and contributions. These numbers consist of contributions more than grants. The grants that the
city received in 2012 were for Pilot Knob and burying the utility lines and traffic safety grants
for the police department. The operating contributions would be money the city receives from
the state such as MSA maintenance funds and police and fire aids. The capital contributions
included in this graph would be special assessments, MSA funds for street projects and the
money we received from FEMA is also included.
Q: On pg. 14 of the annual report: where are we in % of market value in GO bonds?
A: The GO debt limit for the city is $32,188,068. We currently have $2,835,000 issued of GO
debt. We are at 8.8% of the debt limit.
Q: What is our tax capacity after fiscal disparities referenced on pg. 13 of the audit letter
booklet?
A: The tax capacity rate on page 13 has fiscal disparities factored into the calculation. In 2012,
the tax capacity of $20,198,353 was reduced by $2,703,348 due to fiscal disparities. Our net tax
capacity for 2012 was $17,495,005. In real dollars, the City of Mendota Heights paid in
$1,386,570 to the Fiscal Disparities program, but we received $255,785 in State funded
programs, making our total net payment of $1,130, 785.
Q: What percent has the Par 3 revenue dropped since 2008 as referenced on pg. 14 of the audit
letter book?
A: The Par 3 revenues have dropped 22% since 2008.

SUBJECT: Public Hearing — Vacation of 2"d Avenue Alley Right -of -Way
BACKGROUND
City staff has identified a number of areas within the City that are unused, city -owned right -of-
way (ROW). At the Council Goal Setting session held this past January, these areas were
discussed. It was determined that areas consisting of alleys or otherwise incomplete ROWs that
will not be utilized for future public use should be analyzed for vacation.
Staff has researched the undeveloped, platted alleyway that exists east of Vandall Street between
2nd Avenue and 3rd Avenue. This alleyway does not connect to a developed ROW on the east
and "dead ends" into private property. The platted alleyway is 20 -feet wide and is currently
utilized by area residents as part of their rear yards. Several lots along the alleyway have
landscaping, accessory structures, and primary structures inside the 20 -foot alley ROW.
Recently, severe storms that came through Mendota Heights have caused damage from trees
located within this undeveloped ROW. Since it remains under City ownership, the City was
partially liable for this damage.
All impacted property owners have been contacted about the potential for this action. In 2010,
staff contacted the property owners for the same issue and all but one owner responded in favor
of the vacation. Property owners were again surveyed earlier this year with only one response
received by staff. That response was in favor of the vacation.
In order to vacate the alley right -of -way, Council must hold a public hearing prior to voting on
the vacation. At the June 4th City Council Meeting, Council passed a motion calling for a public
hearing on the right -of -way vacation, notice of the public hearing has been published, and all
adjacent property owners have been notified. After the public hearing is concluded and closed,
Council may choose to move on the vacation action.
BUDGET IMPACT
Other than the staff time to process the vacation, there is no adverse impact to the City budget.
Several thousand dollars have been spent on this right -of -way in recent years in maintenance and
repair activities. If vacated future maintenance dollars can be saved.
page 78
RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends Council conduct the public hearing as scheduled and approve the vacation of
right -of -way. At the conclusion of the public hearing, if Council wishes to implement this
recommendation, pass a motion adopting the attached RESOLUTION 2013 -42, A
RESOLUTION APPROVING AN ALLEY RIGHT -OF -WAY VACATION. This action
requires a 4/5 majority vote.

CHAPTER 2 THE CITY CODE, TOBACCO SALES
BACKGROUND
At the City Council goal setting workshop for 2013 the Police Department was tasked with
researching and presenting options for updating the Mendota Heights City Ordinance regulating
tobacco. A summer intern has been working on the new policy.
The 2012 -13 Minnesota State Legislature chose to tax cigarettes at new rate causing some
concern that other forms of tobacco will become more popular. The attached amendment is
designed as the first step of the new ordinance by preventing indoor smoking in tobacco sales
shops.
The ordinance amendment will allow for a more reasonable transition to the more
comprehensive ordinance later in 2013.
BUDGET IMPACT
There are no budget implications other than publication.

BACKGROUND
Staff completed a feasibility study analyzing potential pedestrian improvement projects at the

receiving the completed feasibility study, Council authorized staff to seek a grant from the
Metropolitan Council to complete an at -grade intersection improvement project to improve the
safety of pedestrians utilizing the intersection. The City was awarded the grant for the 2013
construction year.
Council approved the plans and specifications and authorized staff to bid the project at their
January 15, 2013 meeting.
Three bids (see below) were received and opened on Wednesday, June 5, 2013, at 10:00 a.m. for

Urban Companies, LLC submitted the lowest responsible bid of $284,513.00. Their bid was
2.3% above the consultant's Engineer's Estimate of $302,207.23. Urban Companies, LLC is a
