CITIZEN COMMENTS Mr. Tim Thompson, 816 7th Street, challenged the Council and City by stepping up and helping the residents save a few dollars rather then spend a few dollars. The pass through tax they want to offer is another increase citizens do not need. They want to challenge us with the tax on the lighting and gas which leaves both of those entities to make a profit and add additional charges onto the residents. We do not need any more additional taxes, fees, or charges in the City. It is getting out of hand. Councilmember May stated before she was elected, we need to step up as a Council and show the people we are going to try to save some money, No one has done that. He challenged the Council to show that they are going to save the citizens some money and figure out a different way to straighten out the budget, rather than taking it from our pockets, Maybe a service or a fee that is needed Council Minutes (Regular) March 2, 2009 Page 2 somewhere else. It continues to roll off the Council's pen into residents' pocketbook. He challenged the Council to look for a different way to come up with the money rather than taking it from the people. Ms. Beve Preece, 300 Spruce Street, representing DV AC, reminded everyone they can see the art work from talented residents at the art shows in June and December. Artwork is also displayed in the Depot Way Arts Park. There is some amazing talent in Farmington. Each spring when the school district has their art show, the DV AC selects a few pieces of the student artwork and replaces them in the Depot Way Arts Park. In the 2008 art show, DV AC and CEEF sponsored a button contest for Rambling River Days. This year there will also be a contest. Last year four designs were selected to be used this year. The residents will be selecting the button design winner. At the 2007 Rambling River Days art show, she started to paint an abstract painting. As she was painting, residents gave suggestions as to what should be included in the painting. She felt this was a community sponsored painting and wanted to donate it to the City to place in a conference room at City Hall. It is called "Farmington, The Future and The Past." It shows the cityscape with skyscrapers in the background which is the future and in the foreground is the past businesses. The citizens who helped plan the painting should also have a chance to enjoy it. She asked the Council to accept the painting for City Hall. Mayor Larson thanked her for the painting. Ms. Michelle Leonard, 727 Tamarack Trail, a member of the Warrior to Citizen Committee, and also the Farmington American Legion Auxiliary. This weekend the Warrior to Citizen group will hold a spaghetti dinner for a fund raiser at the American Legion. Cub Foods and the Sons of the American Legion are donating the food. This is to fund future Warrior to Citizen events. She encouraged residents to attend. 7.

Voting for: Larson, Donnelly, May, Wilson. Abstain: Fogarty. MOTION CARRIED. g) Joint Powers Agreement Farmington Area Transportation Study - Engineering Councilmember Wilson noted the City, County, and School District have been working together regarding transportation. He asked staff to give the highlights Council Minutes (Regular) March 2, 2009 Page 3 of the study. City Engineer Schorzman stated the group has meet seven times and included representatives from the School District, Dakota County, and the City. The two main focuses are to look at what needs to be done prior to the new high school opening to improve traffic flow and handle the new traffic on Flagstaff Avenue and to develop a longer term vision for the Pilot Knob corridor. There will be an open house in March and a joint meeting will follow. MOTION by Wilson, second by Donnelly to approve the Joint Powers Agreement with Dakota County for the Farmington Area Transportation Study. APIF, MOTION CARRIED. h) Approve Bills Councilmember May asked questions on various bills. Staff provided responses. MOTION by Fogarty, second by Wilson to approve the bills. APIF, MOTION CARRIED. 8. PUBLIC HEARINGS a) NPDES Phase II Annual Report - Natural Resources Farmington is required to follow NPDES Phase II requirements because our population is over 10,000. Operators of small municipal separate storm sewer systems need to obtain authorization to discharge storm water to surface water. Phase II requires operators to develop a storm water pollution prevention program. There are six minimum control measures which are comprised of best management practices. In 2006 non-degradation rules came into play which evaluate changes in runoff quality and quantity from 1988 to the present, and the projected changes from the present to 2020. Staff has completed the requirements, submitted the new permit and completed the non-degradation. MOTION by Fogarty, second by Wilson to close the public hearing. APIF, MOTION CARRIED. 9. AWARD OF CONTRACT a) Award Contract 195th Street Lighting Project - Engineering When the bids were originally received for the 195th Street lighting portion they were substantially over the estimated amount. Staff has re-bid the lighting project. The low bid for the lighting was $115,225.80 from Quality Underground Services. The estimate was $198,200. Council noticed there is a big difference in the bid amounts. Staff explained the difference is in the maintenance portion. Quality Underground already has work to do in town and that made the maintenance portion lower. MOTION by Fogarty, second by Donnelly to adopt RESOLUTION R11-09 accepting the bid of quality Underground Services, Inc. in the amount of$115,225.80 and awarding the project. APIF, MOTION CARRIED. 10. PETITIONS, REQUESTS AND COMMUNICATIONS Council Minutes (Regular) March 2, 2009 Page 4 11. UNFINISHED BUSINESS a) Approve Old City Hall Improvement Project - Parks and Recreation Staff has provided Council with many documents regarding converting the old City Hall into a Senior Center. Funding sources include a lease agreement for a cell tower in a park for $75,000 over 5 years, fund raising of $85,000, and $105,000 from a tax levy. At the February 17,2009, Council meeting, Council requested staff obtain an estimate for removing some mold and have a structural engineer look at the building structure. The cost for the mold remediation is $861.68. The proposal from Bonestroo Engineering to review the structural integrity is $4800. Councilmember Wilson asked about operating expenses in the current senior center vs the new senior center. Parks and Recreation Director Distad stated the operating expense would increase by $41,852. City Administrator Herlofsky stated according to the construction schedule, improvements would not be completed until late fall, so there would be very little additional cost in 2009. Staff noted they would also be looking at increasing membership fees. Councilmember Wilson asked if it was unique to dedicate revenue from a cell tower to this project. Finance Director Roland noted it is not unique as the cell tower is located in a park. Revenue from antennas on water towers is given to the water fund. Councilmember May asked if Council was being requested to approve improvements to City Hall and an operating levy. Staff clarified they were asking Council to approve the construction project under the funding scenarios provided to pay for the construction costs. Finance Director Roland explained they were showing the capital impact on the budget as well as the long-term operating impact. The capital cost to the City will be a $20,000/year levy to pay back the internal borrowing, plus the money from the cell tower. This is funding the actual construction. Once it is built, there are operating costs. Staff was showing what the capital costs would be to an average home and what the operating costs would be. The capital cost was $5 for a $200,000 levy for a $200,000 home. Ifthe operating costs were increased, which means you would increase the levy for that $40,000 difference, this would be an additional $5. Staff will be meeting with the Rambling River Center Advisory Board and the Parks and Recreation Commission to discuss the operating costs. Councilmember Wilson stated they cannot look at just this project without looking at the broader picture. The City is losing $350,000 in state aid. There is $105,000 in capital improvements with this project and $40,000 in new operating expenses. We are close to $500,000 in new expenses. Currently we subsidize the senior center by $125,000. He was concerned with the taxpayers and could not pass on charges to the residents for a project with so many unknowns. Councilmember Fogarty noted the structural estimate was high and asked if there was possibly a retired person that could do this. Staff noted it has to be a licensed Council Minutes (Regular) March 2, 2009 Page 5 engineer and they are waiting for another estimate. She felt staff has done a wonderful job keeping the cost down and with new programming and new membership the costs would be covered. Mayor Larson asked if it was the City's responsibility to hire a structural engineer or if it should be done by whoever buys the building. City Attorney Jamnik stated the City could sell the building as is. The information on the building is public data. A purchaser may request the improvements or it may affect the marketing price. Mayor Larson would rather not spend the money on the structural engmeer. Councilmember May suggested putting a for sale sign on the building and selling it as is. That is part of the reason for her concern, is what to do with the existing building. We should move things along and have someone else renovate. She asked if the cell tower funds would be ongoing or just dedicated to the senior center. Staff stated they were looking for the first five years of revenue to go towards this project. It is a 30-year agreement. The remaining 25 years could go for another park project or be put towards the operating budget. Councilmember May was willing to move forward with the understanding to the entire staff there will have to be cuts somewhere soon in other areas. This will make a negative number even larger. However, it is a great opportunity for the seniors. Councilmember Donnelly stated the $100,000 Councilmember Wilson referred to as being added to this year's deficit is already being taken care of by the tax levy. He considers that as a separate matter from the budget problem. Councilmember Donnelly felt bound by the decision made by the previous Council when they agreed to move the senior center to the old City Hall. He had a hard time in this beautiful building where it costs more than $15 tonight to keep the lights on and an average homeowner will have to pay $15 over the next five years to move the seniors to the old City Hall. The new City Hall costs $80/year for the next 20 years on a $100,000 house. We are talking $2.50 for five years. We owe it to the seniors and he was ready to move ahead with the project. Mayor Larson asked about the number of members. In 2008 there were 543 members. Right now they pay $10 for individuals and $15 for a couple per year. Mayor Larson suggested covering the operating costs by raising the fees to $50/year, or even $100/year is not unheard of for the services they receive. He would like to see the senior center self-sufficient. He did not see the need for a structural engineer and would like to put a for sale sign on the building and sell it as is. He felt the fees need to be more realistic including township fees. MOTION by Fogarty, second by Donnelly to approve the Old City Hall Improvement Project. Voting for: Fogarty, Donnelly, May. Voting against: Larson, Wilson. MOTION CARRIED. Council Minutes (Regular) March 2, 2009 Page 6 b) Approve Submittal of Final Application to Dakota County's Farmland and Natural Areas Program - Parks and Recreation Staff requested approval to submit an application for funding to purchase two parcels from Marigold-Kemps. These two parcels abut the Vermillion River and Kuchera's Entrance. This would be a 50% matching grant. The asking price for the two parcels is $58,500. Dakota County would fund half the cost of$29,250. The funds in the Farmland and Natural Areas Program come from referendum tax dollars that were approved in 2002. Farmington has not received any of these funds in the past. To reduce the cost to the City, staff has requested the Vermillion River Watershed fund 25% of the City's 50% share. So the City would pay $14,625. If the application were approved, the grant approval would come back to the City Council. There are some issues with the two parcels. There is an old building site underground. The current property owner would be responsible for cleaning up the site before selling it to the City or the price would be reduced to cover the cost. Marigold-Kemps would like to receive a credit on their sewer bill on a quarterly basis so the money from the purchase does not go to the corporate office. The park development fund would cover the City's cost. Councilmember May asked about the plans for the parcels. Parks and Recreation Director Distad stated because ofthe Farmland and Natural Areas Program, the property would need to remain in its natural state. The County would allow a trail. These parcels will also provide a buffer for the river. She asked why the City would want the property and asked if it was a buildable lot. Staff replied one parcel is zoned commercial and the other one is in the floodplain. The county is interested in developing a green way corridor along the river. Mayor Larson felt the money should not be spent if no one can build on it. Staff explained Marigold-Kemps approached the City first. If the City does not want to purchase it, they will find someone else. Councilmember Fogarty asked why these funds have not been utilized before. Staff explained the City owns a lot of the land along the river on the north and west sides. On the south and east sides the City does not have much property. Mayor Larson asked about the minimum lot size for commercial. He would like staff to see how much of the land is in the flood plain and if it is a buildable lot. Councilmember Fogarty also asked staffto find out when the land was last appraised. Councilmember Wilson felt we would be better served to apply the money to an immediate need. MOTION by Wilson, second by May to deny submitting an application to Dakota County's Farmland and Natural Areas. Voting for; Larson, Donnelly, May, Wilson. Voting against: Fogarty. MOTION CARRIED. c) 2009 Budget Update -Administration/Finance At the last meeting, staff discussed potential revenue generation to help offset market value homestead credit losses. Council suggested not only looking at Council Minutes (Regular) March 2, 2009 Page 7 revenue generation, but also expenditure cuts. Staff presented a six point plan which includes: 1. Creation of a streetlight utility 2. Franchise fees on electric and gas companies 3. Elimination of ALF contribution 4. Salary reductions due to reduced summer hours 5. Reallocation of the fire levy 6. Reduction of seasonal staff A streetlight utility would be similar to other utilities such as water, sewer, storm water, and garbage. Currently there are 22 cities with streetlight utilities. Staffis proposing $2.50/month per utility account for residential and commercial/industrial. This would begin on July 1,2009, and generate $75,000 for 2009. Franchise fees are imposed on gas and electric suppliers for use ofthe City's right-of-way. In the past a gas franchise agreement was negotiated with the gas company, Minnesota Energy. At that time Council did not want to impose a fee, but did put a clause in the agreement to allow for a franchise fee. Staff is in the process ofre-negotiating the agreements. Staff would like to begin the franchise fee yet this year. This would generate $60,000 between gas and electric. A franchise fee would need to be imposed on both services to be equitable. The City does have a cable franchise fee which is 5% of gross revenues from the cable company. It is paid to the City on a quarterly basis and funds communication projects in the City. Regarding expense reductions, one reduction is the elimination of the ALF contribution. As ALF is now run by Allina, there is no need for the contribution amount of$12,400. Another reduction is having a 36-hour work week in the summer. This means every employee would not be paid for four hours every week. Non-exempt would be paid for 36 hours and it would not affect benefits, or accumulation of vacation or sick leave. For exempt staff, there would be a 2.5% reduction in salary which is vaguely equivalent to four hours/week. This would be for 12 weeks, from Memorial Day - Labor Day. This would save the City $100,000 in salaries and benefits. Exemptions from this would be police patrol and investigations and the liquor store personnel. Hours will be Monday - Thursday 8:00 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. and Fridays from 8:00 a.m. - 12:00. Staffwill not be able to reduce the budget without a reduction in services. There will also be a reallocation of the fire levy in the amount of $70,200. This is contributed to the Fire Relief Association to help support their pension. Over the last 12 years the City has contributed $710,200 to the Farmington Fire Relief Association; we have been required to contribute $199,297. Staff is proposing the levy originally intended for the Fire Relief Association of $70,200 be retained in the general fund and not paid this year to help offset the deficit. The last item is a reduction in seasonal staff for parks and street maintenance. The street department has a budgeted amount of $15,000, park maintenance has $44,000 and the recreation Council Minutes (Regular) March 2, 2009 Page 8 area has $40,000 for seasonal staff. Staff is proposing that the park and street maintenance seasonal staff which totals $58,500, be reduced by $30,000. This is not reducing recreational seasonal staff. It would give park maintenance half of what they have budgeted. Over the summer, this may reduce services. For 2009 staff is proposing: Revenue Streetlight Utility Franchise Fees $ 75,000 $ 62,400 Total Additional Revenue $137,400 Reductions $212,600 Total $350,000 budget correction In 2010 the streetlight utility and franchise fees would be in place for the entire year generating the additional $350,000. Councilmember Wilson asked about the overtime hours for police. Staff noted it amounts to $75,000/year. Councilmember Fogarty was impressed with the cuts proposed. She was not happy with franchise fees or streetlight utilities. She is not in favor of raising taxes, but cannot see another way out. The State has taken away $350,000 and wanted to take away 5%, but there was not 5% to take from Farmington. She suggested placing this on the workshop agenda for Monday night in place of the scheduled items. Finance Director Roland stated ifthe 36- hour work week will be approved, employees need time to prepare for it. The sooner employees are informed the sooner they can budget for it. Staff would also like to know about seasonal staff as the hiring process normally starts in March. Councilmember Fogarty asked if the proposal can be split. City Administrator Herlofsky explained they have met with employees today. If Council agrees with the reductions, then planning could begin. Councilmember Donnelly agreed with approving the reductions portion. Councilmember Wilson agreed with discussing this at the workshop, but also wanted the other items to remain on the agenda. He sees everyone is having to cut back and did not feel government should fortify itself to make sure we have everything we need. There are reductions, but the franchise fees are of great concern. This is taxing the customer class we are trying to attract. As our neighboring cities are charging these fees, we have a competitive advantage over them. We should capitalize on that while the market is down. If there is a large commercial/industrial operation and they are charged $218/month, they are looking at a new expense of$2,600/year. He encouraged staff to come to the workshop with what a 100% cut scenario looks like. If that involves two or three staff members being cut, we will have to weigh the merits if that is a worthwhile decision. Council Minutes (Regular) March 2, 2009 Page 9 Councilmember May confirmed it was separate for gas and electric and that it would be an increase of $90 for a resident. Finance Director Roland stated these are examples and they have to negotiate the final amount. Councilmember May stated it looks like the annual fee would be $30 for each of the franchise proposals. Staff explained these are examples and needed approval to negotiate with the suppliers. Council could specify it should be no more than a certain amount. City Administrator Herlofsky noted the franchise fee amounts to $150,000 for $30/resident. There are 6,000 residences plus commercial and industrial. Combined electric and gas would be $200,000. Councilmember May thanked staff for the time they put into this. She is looking at this as a loss of potentially jobs on City staff or a loss of families in the community. She was struggling with increasing the fees. Previously she had brought up different ways to cut costs such as privatizing solid waste, sell some buildings or equipment. We are at a competitive disadvantage. We already have high taxes. She commended staff for presenting a reduction in hours, but did not feel it was a good idea to cut service. At a recent workshop Council discussed economic development being our number one priority. We need to be on our toes 100% to make sure that happens. We have to make sure that service doesn't suffer. She realized cutting positions can do that. She struggled with even cutting back the hours this new building would be open to serve the residents. She would not approve a franchise fee. Mayor Larson stated this is option A. He asked staff to provide options B and C for the workshop. City Administrator Herlofsky stated this is not just a 2009 issue. The cuts made in the budget with Fire Relief, adjusting seasonal staff, ALF contribution, these are one time events we will not be able to do in 2010. Staff listened to Council at the last meeting when we suggested these items. One concern was how we pay for utilities. This was based on other cities as well as concerns with non-profits. That is why there is a fixed fee based on meter rather than the size of the property. The reductions in budget are one time events so we need to enhance the revenue. In the future, if funding from the state does come back, it will be put in a capital fund. We have cut three positions in the 2008 budget. We are down to limited staff. There are different areas where Council does not feel certain departments need to be cut. The cuts in personnel will not be one year items. It will be for two or three years. Staff will come back with options Band C without specific direction from Council. Councilmember Wilson pointed out one option could be $350,000 of total reductions. He noticed at City Hall the expense trend has been outpacing the revenue trend. Until the housing permits start driving the economy, things are going to be difficult. We cannot go to the residents and tax the people we are trying to attract to come here. As difficult as it is to look at staff cuts and reductions in programming, it is harder to tax a business or resident when we want to keep them here. Mayor Larson asked about starting April 1 and cutting one hour a week through the end of the year. Finance Director Roland stated if we went to 32-hour weeks in the summer for 12 weeks, that would cut $288,000. Human Resources Director Wendlandt stated the four hours at 13 weeks equals 52 hours. We would need one hour per week Council Minutes (Regular) March 2, 2009 Page 10 for 52 weeks. Councilmember Donnelly stated $100,000 is 2.5% of annual salary base. Staff confirmed that is for 2009. MOTION by Fogarty, second by Donnelly to approve the four reductions including the ALF contribution, reduced summer hours, the fire levy and the reduced seasonal staff for 2009 and revisit the rest at the workshop on Monday. Voting for: Larson, Donnelly, Fogarty, Wilson. Voting against: May. MOTION CARRIED. 12. NEW BUSINESS a) Vehicle Weight Limit Permit - Engineering In 2008 Police Chief Lindquist suggested the City take a more active role in commercial vehicle enforcement; primarily weights. This is for public safety, but the state had lessened their enforcement in the commercial vehicle area. Overweight vehicles provide degradation to the road surfaces. In 2008 Council approved the purchase of a scale and special vehicle and training. There are road restrictions in the spring. The inspector has to determine whether we think it is appropriate for certain transports to operate on the roads. There are some businesses that send or receive products and their weight may exceed the legal limits. By statute, the City is allowed to issue permits so they may continue to operate on the roads. The Police Department would like to contact companies that operate within the City and may operate on roads that have a reduced weight limit for a period oftime, and let them do so without falling under penalty oflaw. The permit would be issued to the business and they would be responsible for making sure the carrier has the permit with them. All City streets are 5 ton roads unless posted otherwise. MOTION by Fogarty, second by Wilson to approve the Annual Overweight Permit form and authorize the City Engineer to issue the permit upon application by applicable Farmington businesses. Voting for: Larson, Fogarty, Wilson. Voting against: Donnelly, May. MOTION CARRIED. b) Approve HiPP Memorandum of Understanding and Appoint Councilmember - Administration This is an update of the HiPP process. This is for cities to get together to discuss issues and what other cities are doing. MOTION by Wilson, second by Fogarty to appoint Mayor Larson to the High Performance Partnership Group. APIF, MOTION CARRIED. 13. COUNCIL ROUNDTABLE a) Appoint Councilmember to CEEF -Administration MOTION by Fogarty, second by Wilson to appoint Mayor Larson as the City's representative to CEEF. APIF, MOTION CARRIED. Mayor Larson noted there will be a Charity Mayoral Ball on April 25, at the Grand Ballroom on 3rd Street. Proceeds will go to CEEF. Council Minutes (Regular) March 2, 2009 Page II b) ADAAA and FMLA Training - Human Resources Human Resources Wendlandt will have a trainer come in to discuss the Americans with Disabilities Act Amendment Act and the new changes to the Family Medical Leave Act. This will be held in early April and encouraged all of Council to attend. This will be for managers and supervisors. There will be extensive changes and she felt it was very important everyone has this training. More information will be coming with specific dates and times. c) Training Update - City Attorney City Attorney Jamnik has done an orientation and background session on municipal laws for Council. The schedule this year is making that very difficult. He is proposing to send Council a series of short updates on municipal law topics such as open meeting law, data practices, conflict of interest, etc. If Council has other items they want information on, they should let him know. Councilmember Fogarty: Stated Council had decided they did not want to do pre- meetings. Her concern is they are consistently pulling a number of items off the Consent Agenda and bringing them to the table for discussion. Quite often, they are simple questions and that is what we used to do in the pre-meeting session to eliminate a lot of the table discussion as it tends to get long and drawn out once the cameras are on. She either wants Council to take it upon themselves to ask these questions ahead oftime so every meeting does not go until 10:00 p.m., or re-institute the pre-meetings. Councilmember Wilson: Thanked Beverly Preece for her talent, donating the artwork to the City and for the many things she does to make Farmington a better place. He recalled there were to be discussions between the Art Council and the City about displaying artwork at City Hall on a rotating basis. City Administrator Herlofsky stated we have updated the historic photos and hung them, so we will be moving forward. The Warrior to Citizen campaign is doing some great things and he encouraged everyone to come to the American Legion for the fund raiser. Mayor Larson: If anyone in the community as knowledge of construction, he asked them to contact Don Hayes at City Hall to volunteer their time for the new senior center. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanked residents for attending the wine tasting. He had the privilege to speak to some military families at the Warrior to Citizen Oral History Exhibit. It was incredible and really hit home. 14. ADJOURN MOTION by Fogarty, second by Wilson to adjourn at 9:59 p.m. APIF, MOTION CARRIED.
