x� CITY OF OAK PHE HT — EKLY NO S for: June 912017 TO: City Council Me hers S FROM: Eric Johnson,Ci A stra Zoning and Development Items: 1. No new applications have been r 2. 1 have enclosed various communications of code enforcement documents as sent—each related to yard maintenance. On a related engagement,staff has communicated at length with the Palmer property ownership and while it has been cut,it still needs more attention for weeds and overgrowth. 3. 1 have enclosed a copy of the final preferred corridor from County Staff for the Osgood Ave.project as well image of what the road could look like once completed—near the 56th street and Ozark Ave section.I anticipate the County seeking City concept approval for the project at the 6/27 City Council meeting where they also hope to provide a short presentation. Also on this topic—the County now plans to likely install an underground holding system for storm-water—versus a pond on the City's properly.This tank,per se,would likely be under the roadway.There will be a 3rd open house here at City Hall on 6/21/17-flyer is enclosed. 4. A few fun RUMORS—not to be believed- at least not yet 4 The Eagles dub is moving to the former Famous Dave's; The Ruby Tuesday's has been sold to a restaurant from Forest Lake;The former Burger King has been sold to a new firm. Let's see what happens! 5. The City's Survey is now'live"and can be found on our website.This survey will be open through 8/25/17. https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/oakparkheights20l7 6. Beth Nelson,has resigned from the Planning Commission due to scheduling conflicts/kids activities/work,etc.So,as before, if you know anyone who might desire to serve,please visit the website for an application or call me and I would be happy to forward the documents. If we could have applications by July 21 at—that would be most helpful.The City now has two vacancies on the PC. Other items • MNDOT Update for the SCRCP- dated June 8th,2017. • TENNIS SANITATION is seeking a 1.6%rate increase due to CPI of the twin cities area;however they did cite/utilize the incorrect CPI tool—the correct tool—in fact saw a price decrease.So,short of some other new information being presented a price increase is likely not justifiable if the Agreement is rigidly followed.Please see the enclosed letter to TENNIS SANITATION dated 617117. • City Staff hopes to be able to construct the needed small retaining wall at COVER PARK—being+/-40 feet long and<4 feet tall; this is necessary to reduce a slope grade so that it can be better maintained between the park and Cover Park Manor.This being undertaken by City staff will save$$$—as the pricing was$8,000+from the contractor,but will make their summer schedule even busier. I am confident it will tum out fantastic. • A copy of the Joint Cable Commission Budget as adopted for 2017 • The MLL&OVERLAY schedule is set and is slated to begin in late June—hopefully June 19th.Staff did send a letter to the property owners along the corridor and a copy is enclosed as well as an informal schedule. • BCWD Agenda for 6/14/17 Mayor McComber provided: 1. METRO CITIES NEWS—6/9117 & MAOSC Legislative Update—619/17 2. Meeting#4 Summary from the SCRCP—Opening Celebration Committee. 3. Image from Bill Rubin—with both bridges—Old and New, 4.

The yard continues to unkempt and is in need of immediate attention. As this continues to be an ongoing problem,perhaps you may wish to consider contracting with a lawn care company to provide regular service to keep the yard maintained. As of today,the condition of the yard is in violation of City Nuisance Ordinance 1109 (enclosed). The rear yard is overgrown with grass, weeds and other accumulations. These weeds are encroaching upon the lawns of the adjacent properties. The front yard does require mowing and weed management as well as tidying up/removal of items that are stored to the front driveway area and side of the house. With this letter, you are directed to: 1. Remove weeds and overgrowth from gardens and all yard areas; 2. Remove grass &weeds under decks and all yard equipment; and 3. Clean up/Remove items stored to the front,rear and side of the house. 4. The above items shall be attended to in full no later than Tuesday, June 20, 2017.

To address the above, please trim the plantings and grass back so that clear traffic site lines are created to ensure safe vehicular and pedestrian travel and that no height of the plants or grass along these roadways exceed six inches.

Dear Greg: I have received your letter dated June 1st,2017 in which Tennis Sanitation seeks a rate adjustment of 1.60%to current rates to match the CPI rates. Unfortunately,the letter references the CPI—BLS- Midwest Urban Consumer statistic, but which is not the required parameter.The correct parameter as outlined in the Agreement is essentially 75%of the percent increase or decrease in the Private Transportation Consumer Price Index—Minneapolis-&Paul.See Attached excerpt from the Agreement. I did take a look this specified required data and it appears that the latest data from the BLS and/or the Federal Reserve Bank is actually a reduction(decrease)of 2.16%;not an increase. Moreover,for the preceding two years it also saw a decrease of 7.70%and.93%respectively. See data below.The City did not seek a rate adjustment—lowering pricing during these cycles;although it could have been justified. We would believe that keeping the rates stable instead of attempting to manage the comparatively minor fluctuations of this statistic benefits both parties and thus we would be disinclined to consider any alterations in current rates. If there is new data that is presented that appears to suggest material changes in this statistic the City would be happy to consider it.

MCES Budget Forums Outline 2018 In Current/Archived Newsletters: Rates and Budget Archives The Metropolitan Council Environmental Services(MCES) held the second of two budget customer forums on Thursday, June 8th. MCES staff presented information on proposed 2018 waste water charge(MWC) rates and 2018 annual budget. MCES staff also answered questions related on 18 of 38 http://www.metrocitiesmn.org/index.asp?Type=B_BASIC&SEC=%7b373 8C3AO-1 B97-40... 6/9/2017 Current/Archived Newsletters-Metro Cities Page 2 of 6 individual city wastewater rates. The MCES projected budget will be$280.7 million for 2018. The revenue sources of this budget come from Municipal Wastewater Charges, the Sewer Availability Charge(SAC), and Industrial Waste Charges. Overall, the MCES wastewater charge is set to increase by 3.7%. Individual cities' rates will vary depending on their share of the region's wastewater flow. SAC fees will be held flat, as they have been for the last several years. The Industrial Strength Charge will be increased by 6.8% and the industrial permit fee will increase to 3.7%. Staff noted that overall costs for MCES have increased 3.1%. MCES staff stated they have a goal of keeping rate increases under 4% annually. MCES is funded by user fees, and receives no state appropriations. The Met Council Environment Committee is scheduled to review the rate and budget at its July 11th meeting, with final rate adoption scheduled for July 26th. Click here to view the power point used in MCES' presentation. CTIB Passes Resolution to Dissolve The Counties Transit Improvement Board (CTIB) held a special meeting last Wednesday to finalize details of a resolution to dissolve, and the Board voted on that resolution. The resolution was passed with one Dakota County member as the lone dissenting vote. The resolution stipulates that all five counties agree to the terms of the resolution and subsequently adopt county resolutions to put the agreement into effect. The terms of the resolution include each county agreeing to assume its share of CTIB debt, on-going net operating costs for existing and future transit lines, and 2017 grant agreements. The resolution includes a deadline of June 30th, 2017 for terms to be met and counties to pass resolutions to dissolve the joint powers agreement. Hennepin and Ramsey counties have at this point held hearings on potentially increasing their transportation sales tax to%%. Once the CTIB is dissolved, counties, by state law,will be allowed to increase their sales tax from % percent to %percent upon dissolution. 19 of 38 http://www.metrocitiesmn.org/index.asp?Type=B_BASIC&SEC=%7b3 73 8C3AO-1 B97-40... 6/9/2017 Current/Archived Newsletters -Metro Cities Page 3 of 6 Reminder: Metropolitan Council Accepting Applications for Green Infrastructure Grant Program until July 17 The Met Council is accepting applications from local governments for the Green Infrastructure Grant Program. Successful projects will promote the concept of examining and addressing wastewater, storm water and water supply concerns together in a cost-effective way. Examples include but are not limited to private property mitigation of service lateral replacements and foundation drain and sump pump disconnections that reduce inflow and infiltration,water supply projects such as low-flow plumbing fixture installations and irrigation management systems to help stretch water supplies, low impact development projects that reduce the volume of storm water and/or improve water quality, utilizing green infrastructure to manage flooding, recharge aquifers, water reuse or other projects that diversify water resources, deploying advanced technologies that support water benefits while reinforcing and improving decision- making on all levels. The Council has$1 million available for this pilot grant program. Grants will be awarded on a competitive basis to metropolitan area cities. The number of communities receiving a grant will depend on the projects proposed. Grantees must be able to provide a 100% match to the dollars requested for the program. The grantees must be able to identify and quantify at a watershed level the water impacts and outcomes expected from the project. The Council will require all grantees to report on the results of these efforts. More information about these businesses can be found on the Council's website. Applications must be received no later than July 17th of this year. Projects receiving funding must be completed by Dec. 31, 2019.

Dayton and the legislature,but the major issues facing Minnesota's small cities were largely resolved during the special session immediately following regular session adjournment last month.The current standoff between the governor and legislative leaders could be settled by the state Supreme Court,or through further negotiations and compromise over the next month or so.Given the unprecedentedly broad agreement lacking details heading into special session,the misunderstandings that have followed were not at all surprising to longtime State Capitol observers.Questionable constitutional actions have been assigned to both the governor and lawmakers who shaped legislation toward heavily limiting executive power, but only Republican leaders have taken their side of the case to litigation.Among the trigger points,Gov.Dayton kept his pledge to veto the local wage and labor pre-emption bill in special session that included unrelated state labor agreements. Just prior to the end of special session last month,we sent out a Legislative Update addressing key issues based on actions taken and anticipated.We addressed LGA,Local Control-including Small Cell Wireless,School Tax Relief for Farmers,Transportation- including City Streets and Corridors of Commerce,and Bonding.All anticipated aspects of that Update were ultimately approved and are unlikely to be changed.To review those key issue outcomes,see: httA:l/fles.constantcontact.com13ab79a0b101/9dabfe66-Oeba-4bd3-b49d-c7a0c0edc2a3.vdf?ver=1495747118000 This Update covers additional key issues of concern to Small Cities that were not yet fully ironed out at the time of the previous state newsletter sent on May 26,prior to the conclusion of special session. Regarding"School Tax Relief for Farmers,"most public reports have been unspecific about who benefits.As indicated in our previous report,the 40 percent state tax relief to agricultural properties applies to both current and future school construction levies.The permanent state funding applies to all agricultural properties,regardless of homestead,rental,or corporate ownership. LGA was covered previously,but it is worth mentioning that roughly 29 percent of the July 2019 LGA payment(from the IY2020-21 biennium)is scheduled to shift forward to June 2019-at least for now-helping with the bottom line in tight city budgets. However, these biennial LGA shifts tend to be the first"solution"picked for reversal when the state budget sees a projected downturn. Small Cities Economic Development gets little Key economic development needs of small cities were not a priority for the Legislature in 2017,especially on the state financing side of the equation.The most-favorable result came on the policy side where new TIF authority was provided for Workforce Housing. Cities will need approvals from both the local school district and county to move ahead with the new districts. Particularly disappointing on the budget side was the zeroing out of the Greater Minnesota Workforce Housing Fund slated for no base funding,coupled with a nominal one-time$4 million allocation for the upcoming biennium. Another potential funding source is Housing Infrastructure Bonds,but the$35 million available will spread thinly across the entire state. Another key MAOSC priority is Border-to-Border Broadband.While Gov.Dayton embraced the essential need for spurring adequate broadband access to every corner of the state by proposing$60 million in funding for the biennium,legislative authorization was slashed by a full two-thirds to only$20 million over two years. The least-served state for high-speed broadband access is Aitkin County where MAOSC member city McGregor is located. McGregor and other rural communities were featured this month in an excellent,thorough feature article on rural broadband needs in the StarTribune.See: htto.°llwvrvw startribune,comlin-oitkin-coun!c z- oth er-rural-areas-geed-Lor-better-broadband-outstriLs-resources-available-ta-cravid e-itl426169931 Some optimism regarding infrastructure improvements,such as high-speed broadband access across the nation,was based on hopes for bipartisan efforts to make new investments at the federal level.As details of President Trump's infrastructure proposal came out over the past week, partisanship emerged and doubts mounted due to unprecedented reliance on privatization in the plan.Of particular concern is the challenge to adequately serve small cities and rural areas as private investment will most likely focus on mega high-profit-potential projects serving large cities in densely populated areas and busy corridors. Other Key Tax&Spend Decisions Other key state funding decisions of interest to small cities include biennial appropriations for Local Roads and Local Bridges at $165.5 million,Wastewater Treatment,Sewer and related Water infrastructure at$136 million,and$71.1 million for Rail Safety. MAOSC joined with LMC in pushing for a Simplified Construction Materials Sales Tax Exemption,but the provision was not included in special session legislation. 23 of 38 Special Election Uniformity starts in 2018 Odd-ball local Special Election dates will no longer be allowed,starting in calendar 2018.Five dates are set aside each year:the four second Tuesdays in February,April,May and August,as well as the Tuesday following the first Monday in November(same as General Election Day).Existing plans for special elections during 2017 are unaffected. Exceptions will be allowed occasionally for emergencies and disasters. In memoriam:Wayne Simoneau Politicians who get real work done by reaching across the aisle with little fanfare are truly a rare breed these days. Few ever were as unassuming and effective as Wayne Simoneau,82,who died May 21 from complications related to lung disease.As a legislator,the suburban DFLer was perhaps the most prominent male legislator pushing hard for historic Pay Equity legislation passed in 1984 that became a model for state and local governments nationally,as well as forward-thinking private firms. Tri-partisanship isn't a word,but it is uniquely appropriate for Simoneau. He served as a state agency commissioner for Republican Gov.Arne Carlson,and Independence Party Gov.Jesse Ventura.Carlson was especially effusive in memorializing Simoneau, both as a good friend,and as a guardian of state finances as Carlson's Finance commissioner. Governor's race shape shifting It wasn't surprising to see two notables pulling out of contention for the governor's race in 2018.Republican Rich Stanek,the Hennepin County sheriff,announced he won't make the statewide run a few days before reports of serious legal troubles for his son surfaced. Eighth District Democratic Congressman Rick Nolan also indicated a desire to run again for his northern Minnesota seat where Donald Trump won easily,which was a relief for minority Democrats at the national level. Nolan had faced stiff challenges twice in his past two elections from chain farm store heir Stewart Mills.Now,reports are surfacing that Mills is eyeing a run for the Republican nomination for governor.Another potential formidable Republican candidate, House Speaker Kurt Daudt,appears closer than ever to making his gubernatorial bid official,sidetracked for the moment by his anticipated legal battle with the governor.
