MEMO
TO: City Council rs �N
FROM: Eric Johnson City d r
RE: Council Work Se ' I16 -6pm
I have the following items slated forth work session agenda:
1. 2017 Budget- Finance Director Betty Caruso has provided the attached preliminary budget which includes the
most recent amendments from the City Councils August budget meeting.Additional edits or changes can be
discussed.The Council will be asked to adopt a preliminary budget and levy on September 27th.This then must
be submitted to the County for TNT meetings by September 30th.
2. Both Mayor McComber and Council Member Runk wish to discuss the County RFP on Osgood Ave.That
document is attached.
3. Mayor McComber would like to discuss a concept of an amendment to City Ordinance 601 —relating to
Dangerous Dogs and Potentially Dangerous Dog.This stems from a recent finding by the Police about the
removal of a Potentially Dangerous Dog from the City and a desire by the property owner to allow the dog back
into the City.The concept being to establish a process—via amending the 601 Ordinance-by which the dog
could be returned.Staff has drafted some options to discuss.Chief DeRosier will be present for additional
background and history of the application of the current rules.
4. Mayor McComber would like to discuss the possibility of the"Drone—Use"policy,that draft is enclosed.Staff
has reached out to the FAA for some additional information on such use.That draft policy is enclosed as well
as FAA Summary of Rules.One item that still needs to be verified is if there is a 5-mile preclusionary radius
from Lake Elmo Airport that makes operation of all such equipment difficult as certain notices must be provided
to the Airport and Tower(if one e)ists). Phone calls have been placed to their information line but at this time I
have been playing"phone-tag"with their information office—apparently in California.
5. Council Member Runk would like to discuss the SCRCP and possible roles the City might want to take as it
looks towards any opening celebrations.

Osgood Avenue North(CSAR 24) Washington County Public Works
Pavement Management& Safety Improvement Project September 2016
1. PROJECT INFORMATION
1.1. PROJECT OVERVIEW
The Washington County Public Works Department is issuing this request for proposal (RFP)
to provide near and long-term corridor improvements, project coordination, stakeholder
engagement,and preliminary design for the preferred alternative including associated hydraulic
analysis, and necessary environmental documentation services for Osgood Avenue North
(CSAH 24). This segment of CSAH 24 extends from 50`x'Street North in the southern part of
Oak Park Heights north to 65a'Street North(Orleans Street)in Stillwater.
CSAH 24 is a north-south roadway which has a functional classification as an A-Minor
Arterial. The existing AADT is 10,000 vehicles per day south of TH 36 and 11,000 vehicles
per day north of TH 36. The roadway is predominantly two-lane undivided with an urban
design and 35 mph posted speed limit. The roadway becomes a four-lane divided urban
segment near the intersection with Trunk Highway(TH) 36. The portion of CSAH 24 south
of TH 36 is a popular route for a local trucking company.
The corridor is a mix of commercial,institutional,and residential uses. Fronting on the corridor
are existing single family homes and apartments,two churches,a cemetery,and several parcels
that are in various stages of redevelopment. In addition,an elementary school,two parks,and
the Washington County Government Center are in close proximity to the corridor.
This Pavement Management and Safety Improvement Project is intended to improve operations
and safety along the corridor by evaluating intersection options,capacity, lane configuration,
pavement surface, drainage, and sidewalk/trail options to accommodate current and future
traffic and pedestrian levels. The Consultant will complete a safety study and public
engagement process that will assist stakeholders in prioritizing improvements, culminating in
a community-accepted project to be advanced through preliminary design.
Pavement Improvements:
The Consultant will design a pavement management plan for CSAH 24 from 501'Street North
to 6P Street North (Orleans Street) (see Appendix Q. The pavement condition index on
CSAH 24 currently ranges from 66 to 70. CSAH 24 from 50'''Street North to 590 Street North
was overlaid in 2006 and the area north of TH 36 was overlaid in 2001. The area between the
North Frontage Road and 651 Street North(Orleans Street)will need to be evaluated for a full
reconstruction to correct the sub-base based on observations of pavement heaving experienced
in the spring and to install a storm sewer distribution system. The other areas are assumed to
require a pavement preservation method such as a mill and overlay or full-depth reclamation.
Intersection Improvements:
CSAH 24 has many access connections to residential driveways, commercial and industrial
properties, and other public roads serving key community functions. The Consultant shall
evaluate key access points and perform a traffic study along the corridor.
The segment of CSAH 24 this project encompasses has a critical crash rate that exceeds the
system-wide average. In addition,the existing south TH 36 frontage road(601'Street North)
has a critical crash rate that is twice the system-wide average.
The goal of Washington County's Public Works Department is to achieve excellence in design
through comprehensive public engagement with every project we do. We believe a strong
public engagement plan will be essential to facilitate community acceptance of the project
while maintaining the transportation objectives and requirements of Washington County and
the Minnesota Department of Transportation(MnDOT).

Pavement Management&Safety Improvement Project September 2016
Improvements by Others:
Washington County is leading a separate project,slated for completion in Fall 2016,to realign
CSAH 26(60'b Street North/South Frontage Road). The realignment will move the intersection
approximately 500 feet to the south of the existing intersection. In addition, Holiday
Stationstores,Inc. has a project underway to redevelop its property at the Southeast comer of
the existing CSAH 26/CSAH 24 (Osgood) intersection. The Consultant shall determine and
consider the impacts of these improvements when completing analysis and design work.
Washington County is also leading an intersection improvement design project at the CSAH
14/24 intersection approximately '/ -mile south of this project, slated for 2017 construction.
The northern extent of the intersection improvement will coincide with this project at 501
Street.The Consultant shall consider these improvements when completing analysis and design
work.
This project will be a cooperative project between Washington County, the City of Oak Park
Heights, the City of Stillwater, Baytown Township, and the Middle St. Croix WMO, with
Washington County serving as the lead agency. A combination of State Aid and local funding
is expected. All work performed under the anticipated contract must be carried out in
accordance with the procedures, requirements, and regulations of the Minnesota Department
of Transportation(MnDOT)and Washington County.
1.2. PROJECT GOALS AND OBJECTIVES
The objective of this project is to improve the safety and operations of the CSAH 24 corridor
by addressing transportation,bicycle,pedestrian,and drainage issues as well as extending the
life of existing pavement. In summary,the project goals are as follows:
• Utilize a comprehensive agency and public engagement process to achieve community and
agency acceptance.
• Review access management guidelines within the corridor while accommodating access
needs of the businesses,school,potential development,and individual property owners.
• Improve roadway safety,capacity,and operation of all intersections and access points along
the corridor.
• Complete a project corridor study with full-build geometric layouts, and costs, allowing
stakeholders to identify an alternative to advance into preliminary design.
• Produce a municipally-approved preliminary geometric layout that meets all MnDOT,
CSAR, and Washington County requirements for preliminary design and environmental
documentation allowing for construction in 2018.
• Identify potential stormwater drainage improvements that appropriately balance the
requirements of all agencies with the needs and goals of the communities.
• Improve the accessibility and movement of pedestrians and bicyclists within the corridor.
• Maintain the long-term transportation goals of Washington County, the City of Oak Park

6/29/2016 Federal Aviation Administration(FAA)Recognizes Local Authority in New Drone Regulations
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Recognizes Local
Authority in New Drone Regulations
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
June 23, 2016
WASHINGTON— In a win for local governments and local decision-making authority, new rules issued this
week by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) on unmanned aviation systems (UAS), commonly known as
drones, recognize that city leaders should play a role in regulating how, when and where drones operate in their
communities. The new rules put in place a number of new regulations, including hours of operation, height and
line of sight requirements.
"Cities commend the FAA for taking this important step in acknowledging that broad federal preemption would
represent an overreach into regulations that have always been left to city officials, because these decisions are
best handled at the local level," said Clarence E.Anthony, CEO and executive director of the National
League of Cities (NLC). "We hope that this can be an opportunity for the drone industry to work with city
leaders, rather than trying to sidestep them at the state and federal level. We look forward to working in
partnership with those who seek to promote innovation and new job opportunities within our nation's cities."
The rules come at a time when local governments have been under attack by broad federal and state-level
efforts to preempt local authority. In the final rule, the FAA stated that the agency was "not persuaded that
including a preemption provision in the final rule is warranted at this time," concluding that"certain legal aspects
concerning small UAS use may be best addressed at the state or local level."
In April, the U.S. Senate produced a bipartisan amendment that stripped federal preemption language from
their long-term FAA reauthorization bill. The amendment, sponsored by Senators Feinstein (D-CA), Tillis (R-
NC), Blumenthal (D-CT), Purdue (R-GA), Lee (R-UT) and Markey (D-MA), was adopted by Senate Commerce
Committee leadership in a package of bipartisan amendments to the underlying bill, but did not receive a vote
due to procedural reasons. The House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee passed their version of the
reauthorization bill without preemption language earlier this year, but the bill has not yet been brought to the
floor for a vote.
The`National League of Cities (NLC) is dedicated to helping city leaders build better communities. NLC is a
resource and advocate for 99,000 cities, towns and villages, representing more than 218 million
Americans. www.n1c.ora
