SUBJECT: Continued Discussion - Special Assessment Policy - Engineering
DATE: August 22, 2006
INTRODUCTION
This item is a continuation of previous discussions regarding funding options to maintain the City's
road infrastructure.
DISCUSSION
Based upon Council's direction, staff has prepared a revised analysis of the needs to maintain our
road infrastructure through the Mill and Overlay program. The order of the reconstruction projects
was reevaluated based upon average OCI ratings for each development, field reviews and
geographic considerations trying to group projects together in the same portion of the City.
Concrete curb and gutter will be constructed where there is existing bituminous curb, in areas
without curb or ditches or in areas deemed necessary for drainage by the City Engineer. The
Council may want to consider separating quantities and developments within a given year to
differentiate project costs and assessments between areas with and without concrete curb and gutter
and varying lot sizes. Costs would be broken out per development or addition and would be
identified in a feasibility report.
The attached spreadsheet identifies the developments in most need of repair, the estimated costs
associated with the reconstruction and the years they are identified for improvement. Staff would
like to maintain flexibility in scheduling of projects that are more than two years out as conditions
can and do change. The attached cost estimates include an assumed 5.5% increase in construction
costs per year (versus a 4% assumption in previous analyses). Per Engineering News Record, the
Construction Cost Index (CCI) from December 2000 - December 2005 was 5.2%.
The average funding needs identified on the spreadsheet to reconstruct all developments with OCI's
less than 54 (between the years of 2007-2013) is $1,020,740 per year. This schedule assumes that
the Lund's Evergreen Estates 2nd - 5th Additions will all be reconstructed in 2013, therefore they are
not being included in the current 2007-201 I CIP. Depicted on the attached spreadsheet are the
differences between assessing 25% or 30% of the total project costs to the benefiting properties. If
the 25% assessment rate is chosen, an additional $51,000 I year will need to come from the Road
and Bridge Fund to finance the improvements. If 25% assessment rate is chosen, the mill and
overlay program may see a shortfall approximately once every six years.

Also attached is a draft roadway reconstruction policy for your review. Two main items that staff
would like direction on are the percentage that the Council would like to assess and how
assessments would be handled for properties that are adjacent to a Municipal State Aid road.
ACTION REQUIRED
The City Council is requested to review the information provided and determine an acceptable
assessment rate as a percentage ofthe total project costs to assess properties benefiting from the mill
and overlay program and direct staff on the assessment policy for roadway reconstruction projects.
Once details are worked out, the policy will be brought forward for official approval of the Council
at a future date.
Respectfully submitted,
David D. Berkowitz

CITY OF ANDOVER
ROADWAY RECONSTRUCTION ASSESSMENT POLICY
SECTION I - General Policy Statement
I. GENERAL
The purpose of this document is to establish a standard assessment policy for roadway
reconstruction projects within the City of Andover.
Roadway reconstruction projects are defined as local and/or Municipal State Aid City
streets that have an existing bituminous surface and have reached a level of distress in
which the City Engineer determines that the roadway is in poor condition such that full
replacement is warranted. Improvements consists of a new bituminous surface, concrete
curb and gutter (if required by the City's Concrete Curb and Gutter Policy), additional
storm sewer as needed, storm sewer replacement and street widening if a substandard
section exists.
Street and storm sewer/drainage costs are apportioned to the properties benefiting from
the project. Apportioning the costs of the street and storm sewer construction may be
done by dividing the cost of the street improvements by the assessable front footage of
the benefiting properties to determine a cost for linear front foot or by dividing the costs
of the street improvements by the number of benefiting lots. This is explained under the
Methods of Assessment.
The nature of the street improvements dictate whether or not concrete curb and gutter is
required (Per the City's concrete curb and gutter policy). The following is a list of
reconstruction projects where concrete curb and gutter is required:
I. Existing Municipal State Aid Routes (If MSA funding is used)
2. Reconstruction Projects
· Rural w.l Existing Bituminous curb
· Rural w.l no curb or drainage ditches
. All Urban
3. Existing Business Areas (Commercial, Retail, Industrial) with no curb, no
drainage ditches or existing bituminous curb is in place
Roadway reconstruction areas shall be identified in the City's Capital Improvement Plan
(CIP) at least two years prior to construction. The CIP is a fluid document in which
roadways will be identified in the plan, but may be moved to a later date if those areas are
not within two years of reconstruction and other areas have been found to be in greater
need of repair.
Assessments for other improvements (sanitary sewer, water main, etc.) included in a road
reconstruction project shall follow the City's standard assessment policy.
I
SECTION II - Roadway Reconstruction Assessment Requirements
1. GENERAL
Minnesota State Law, Chapter 429 provides that a Municipality has the power to make
public improvements such as, street and storm sewer improvements including grading,
curb and gutter, and surfacing, and assess the improvements to the benefiting properties.
This section of the policy describes how roadway reconstruction project shall be
assessed.
All properties benefiting from the roadway reconstruction (fronting along the new
roadway) shall pay a proportionate share of the cost of local improvements per this
policy. The City Council has approved the roadway reconstruction assessment such that
30% of the project cost (construction costs and indirect cost such as engineering, design
and other administrative costs as identified on the City's assessment worksheet) to be
assessed as identified under the Methods of Assessments. The remainder of the costs
shall be funded by the City's Road & Bridge Fund.
Any roadway reconstruction project (including Municipal State Aid streets) that is part of
a neighborhood or subdivision will be assessed. If a Municipal State Aid street is
included in the reconstruction project, the City can submit for reimbursement from the
State for a portion of the project, but this would not reduce the assessable amount (based
upon 30% of the total project costs) to the benefiting properties. Any State Aid funds
collected for these projects would go toward funding the City's share of the total project
costs.
II. POLICIES RELATING TO SPECIAL ASSESSMENTS
Assessment
The total assessment costs must be apportioned equally amongst properties having the
same general land use (residential, institutional, multiple family, commercial or
industrial), based on benefit. Total assessment against any particular parcel shall not
exceed benefit to that parcel.
Assessment Period
Reconstruction improvements shall be assessed for a period of up to five (5) years. A
Senior Citizen deferral is permitted (refer to State Law).
Interest Rate
The rate of interest on assessments shall be determined by the City Finance Director with
concurrence of the City Council at the time the project is initiated.
?
Methods of Assessment
The City Council has approved two (2) methods (Unit & Front Footage) of assessing
roadway reconstruction projects. It should be emphasized that the special assessment
method and policies summarized herein cannot be considered as all-inclusive and that
unusual circumstances may at times justify special considerations.
Unit (Lot)
Unit is a parcel or lot in an area that cannot be further subdivided, i.e., in a single family
R-4 Zone the standard minimum lot is 80' x 130'. If a parcel can be subdivided one
assessment per potential parcel will be assessed for as many units as can be subdivided in
that particular zoning district. In a unit assessment, 30% of the total project costs would
be divided equally amongst all units in a development, resulting in a uniform assessment
per lot.
Front Footage
Frontage footage assessment may be utilized in areas in which large parcels exist that can
subdivide or in which there are different types of land uses (residential, commercial,
industrial). In a front footage assessment, 30% ofthe total project costs would be divided
by the total front footage for all lots within the project limits. Front footage for comer
lots would be determined by adding the length of the short side and half of the long side.
The cost per front foot would then be multiplied by each unit's calculated front footage to
determine their assessment. It is likely that this method would result in different
assessments per parcel. If a large parcel has the potential to fully develop (40 Acre
subdivision) the City Council has the discretion to assess more than just the front footage.
This would be identified and approved in the feasibility report.

SUBJECT: Continued Discussion - Railroad Quiet Zones/06-10 - Engineering
DATE: August 22, 2006
INTRODUCTION
SEH has revised the Draft Railroad Quiet Zone Report to address additional information requested
by the City Council at the workshop held in July 2006. The revised draft is attached for your review.
DISCUSSION
Information that was added to the draft Railroad Quiet Zone report include additional information on
wayside horns, the possible phasing in of improvements and Met Council as a possible funding
source. After further review and comparisons to current railroad quiet zone improvements in Coon
Rapids that have recently been bid the estimated costs have increased from the first draft report.
Please review the updated draft report for discussion.
The developer of Sophie's South (Marty Harstad) has proposed to offer the City $100,000 toward the
Railroad Quiet Zone on Crosstown Boulevard NW if the City would commit to complete the
improvements by June I, 2007. Refer to the attached letter from Harstad Hills, Inc. Mr. Harstad
feels the train whistles are affecting the sale of lots in the development and if the Quiet Zone was
implemented, sales would improve. The June 1,2007 deadline may not be possible due to the time it
takes for the Federal Railroad Administration to approve the City's report, design of improvements,
Anoka County Highway review and completion of construction. Also Crosstown Boulevard NW is
not a County or Municipal State Aid road so State Aid funding would not be available to fund the
remaining $326,000 to complete the project.
BUDGET IMP ACT
Engineering, Finance and Administration have reviewed the possible funding sources and Municipal
State Aid (MSA) and/or the City's Road and Bridge Fund would seem to be the most reasonable
sources to fund the improvements. Crosstown Boulevard NW east of Hanson Boulevard NW is not
a County or Municipal State Aid road. If the City was to accept the road as a turnback, the City
could then designate this segment as a MSA designation making the road eligible for MSA funding.

ACTION REQUIRED
The City Council is requested to review the Draft Railroad Quiet Zone Report and direct staff and
SEH on how to proceed. If the report is acceptable, the report will be brought to a regular scheduled
City Council meeting for formal approval and the improvements would be included in the 2007-201 I
Capital Improvement Plan.

Railroad Quiet Zone Study
Prepared for Andover, Minnesota
1.0 Introduction
The City has been concerned about the impact of the railroad noise to the
development of the City, Over the past several years, there has been increase
in residential development near the BNSF Railroad mainline track. The train
noise is generated by the train horns blowing at the six mainline grade
crossmgs.
In the 1996 legislation, the federal government preempted local and state
governments from regulating train horn noise. In 2005, after many years of
investigation and rule making, final rules regulating train horn noise was
adopted. There are six public grade crossings that the City would like to
establish a federally approved railroad quiet zone.
The new Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) rules provide a mechanism
to evaluate how the City may minimize the noise caused by the trains. The
rules provide for communities to create quiet zones where trains are exempt
from horn regulations.
There are three basic options for the City to reduce noise.
1. Permanently close or grade separate (bridge) the roadways from the
tracks
2. Install wayside or stationary horns at a crossing.
3. Comply with the FRA rules for a full-time or a nighttime quiet zone,
Permanent closures have limited support from the local community and a
grade separation is a long-term project.
Wayside or stationary horns are a relatively new technology that has recently
been approved for general installation, The wayside horn replaces the train
mounted horn with a horn mounted at the crossing. The wayside horn is
activated by the crossing signal system. The Road Authority is generally
responsible for installation and maintenance of the system. The noise level
is comparable to a train horn, but it decreases the noise impact area. The
stationary horn works well in non residential areas, because the
immediate area near the crossing is subjected to the full noise of the horn
for 25 seconds, rather than a gradual increase as the train approaches, The
A-ANDOV0605.00
Page 1
wayside horn was authorized in the quiet zone rule packet, it is technically
not in a quiet zone. It is considered the same risk level as a train mounted
horn.
The FRA quiet zone rules allow a community to establish a quiet zone
provided a series of conditions are met. The community has the option of a
24-hour per day zone or a nighttime (10:00 p.m. to 7:00 a,m.) zone. The
process of obtaining either one is the same.
Chart 1 provides a summary of crossing characteristics for the six grade
crossings within the City of Andover,
1.1 Background on FRA Rules
The FRA was directed in the early 1990s to establish national standards for
locomotive horns at public grade crossings. After careful research, the FRA
released draft rules in 2000. In December of2003, Interim Final rules were
issued, and on April 27, 2005, the Final Rules were adopted. These rules
preempt any state or local laws related to locomotive train horns.
The Final Rules have four distinct parts:
1. Railroads must sound the horn 15 to 20 seconds prior to a train's arrival
at a grade crossing, but not more than Y4-mile in advance of the crossing.
2. The rules describe a minimum and maximum volume level for a train
horn. (96 dB (A) and 11OdB(A)).
3, The rules outline a new test procedure to determine horn compliance.
4. The rules have provisions for local communities to establish quiet zones,
where railroads are exempt for blowing the locomotive horns.
There are six types of quiet zones. Four of these quiet zone types provide for
a transitional process for preexisting train horn bans. The City does not meet
these requirements, The two types of zones that the City meets are a 24-hour
quiet zone or a partial nighttime quiet zone. The partial quiet zone would run
from 10:00 p.m, to 7:00 a.m. The requirements for either a full-time or partial
nighttime quiet zones are the same, The City can choose which type to
establish. Communities that have chosen the part-time zone reasoned that
risk associated with no train horns were greatly reduced at night because of
the decreased traffic volumes.
Quiet zone issues dominate the rules and are of most interest to local
communities, even though the three other parts will help to reduce noise
impacts. The FRA has incorporated flexibility in the process to create quiet
zones, but has also made the process complex. The concept utilizes a risk
index approach that estimates expected safety outcomes. Risk is averaged
over the railroad crossings in the proposed zone and compared to a national
risk level (NSRT), This risk analysis computes a Risk Index with Horns
(RIWH) and a Quiet Zone Risk Index (QZRI). This analysis determines what
crossing improvements are needed for a community to establish a quiet zone.
At a minimum, all new quiet zones must have railroad signals with gates.
The FRA has provided an Internet site (www.fra.dot.gov) to allow for the
calculation ofthe QZRI and RIWH and NSRT, and is commonly called the
Quiet Zone Calculator.

There are five predetermined engineering improvements called
supplementary safety measures (SSM) that can be used to lower the QZRI
and brings a crossing(s) into automatic conformance with the rules. The five
SSMs include the following:
1. One-Wav Streets with Full Gate Coverage - One-way streets allow for
the gate( s) to be placed on the approach lanes of traffic, and vehicles
cannot go around the gates. Vehicles also cannot get trapped between the
gates.
2. Nighttime Closure of a Crossing - The roadway would be closed by the
use of some type of barricade( s) that can completely close off the
crossing. This would be used if only a part-time quiet zone is requested.
The closure must include a process that will verify that a crossing has
been closed for the night. Other cities have used an automatic barricade
that is locked into place and provides a warning light to the train that the
crossing is closed.
3. Permanent Closure of the Crossing - This means that the roadway would
be closed and barricaded permanently. The railroad signals and surface
would be removed. Under the FRA risk computations, the closure allows
a credit in the risk assessment that may allow other options at the
remaining crossings in the zone.
4. Raised Center Medians - Raised center medians a minimum of 60 feet
long (100 feet long preferred) are installed to prevent vehicles from
driving around the gates. If the median is less than 6 inches tall, traffic
delineators are required. If a roadway is of sufficient width, medians are
relatively inexpensive to install. The disadvantage of medians is the
disruption to local access.
5. Four Ouadrant Gates - Four quadrant gates are regular railroad gates
with two additional gates being added to the exit traffic lanes. This will
completely close off the crossing, The exit gates are on a delay that will
allow a vehicle to clear the crossing before descending. Traffic loop
detectors may be required to detect if a vehicle is stopped on the tracks.
The advantage of this SSM is that no additional roadway work is usually
needed for the gates to be installed. The disadvantage is that there is a
potential to trap a vehicle, they are expensive to install, the City may
assume maintenance ofthe loop detectors and the City may be
responsible for the extra maintenance for the extra gates. .
If SSM are not practical, Alternate Safety Measures (ASM) can be proposed
to the FRA for individual crossings. These ASM can be non-engineering
solutions, such as traffic enforcement, photo enforcement, or education
programs. Other engineering solutions can be proposed if shown effective in
improving safety. These may include different styles of medians or a new
type of warning device. A community is required to provide documentation
that an ASM is effective. This documentation may require video camera
installation, review of police efforts to enforce crossing violations, or a
record of public service announcements. The level of documentation is not
well defined in the rules. The two most popular ASM are:

1. Photo Enforcement of Traffic Violations - This is a system of cameras
that monitor the railroad crossings and will issue traffic tickets to
violators. In Minnesota, this is against state law.
2. Increased Traffic Enforcement - This is a program that targets traffic
violations near railroad crossings, The Quiet Zone submittal would
outline and document what the City has done to enforce traffic
violations,
The FRA rules require communities to notify the FRA, the state Department
of Transportation, and the railroad that they are interested in creating a quiet
zone and provide a process for these interested parties to comment. The
process has some built in time periods and that take 4 to 6 months to
implement. If SSMs are installed according to the rules at all crossings, the
community will receive an automatic approval for a quiet zone. If ASMs or
other exceptions are needed, the FRA review and approval will be needed,
The rules are silent on the liability to either the railroad or communities who
enact quiet zones. In the record of decision, the FRA discusses railroad and
community liability. The record of decision (page 66), the FRA says "As for
the public authority that creates a quiet zone in accordance with this part,
FRA expects that courts will apply the standard of care set by this rule,
inasmuch as any quiet zone established in accordance with this part will have
been established in accordance with federal law and FRA's intention to
preempt State laws expressly stated." This rule, in effect, establishes the
standard of care for the creating of quiet zones and the sounding of train
horns, providing reassurance both to railroads and communities that no
plaintiff will prevail on the basis that an audible warning has been withheld.
Further, this rule making does nothing to undermine the sovereign immunity
of State and local governments, where they have asserted it. .
The rules encourage joint establishment of quiet zones where there are
multiple roadway jurisdictions. Generally, one government agency will take
the lead and coordinate the process.
1.2 Risk Analysis
The FRA has developed a risk analysis to evaluate proposed quiet zones, The
analysis is based on their national crossing inventory and accident databases,
The basis in an accident prediction model that uses 12 criteria to determine
the probability and severity of a vehicle-train crash at each crossing. Using
these calculations, a National Significant Risk Index (NSRI) and an
individual Risk Index With Horns (RIWH) can be developed. They have also
compare crossings that have had quiet zones in-place with non quiet zone
crossings and have developed a QZRI and an effectiveness rating for each
type of SSM.
Using their Quiet Zone Calculator, these various numbers are computed and
provided the basis for what needs to be done at each crossing in order for a
community to obtain a Quiet Zone. Chart 2 summaries the calculations for
the City of Andover.
The preliminary analysis of the six grade crossings in Andover shows that all
have the minimum railroad signals with gates, but the combination of high

1.3 Proposed Alternatives
The following is a discussion regarding the feasibility of installing SSMs at
each of the six crossings. It appears that one-way streets, crossing closures,
or nighttime closures are impractical for the City of Andover. This study
concentrates on adding center medians, adding four quadrant gates to each of
the crossings, or adding wayside horns.
1.3.1 Center Medians
Center medians have become a popular SSM alternative for local
communities because they can be inexpensive compare to other SSM options
and are easy to install.
The rules require that the medians be raised and be a minimum of 100 feet
long. In certain exceptions, medians can be shortened to 60 feet. If a median
is less than 6 inched high, delineator signs must be installed on the median.
Appendix A provides preliminary layouts for each of the crossings.
Bunker Lake Boulevard
Bunker Lake Boulevard currently is a two lane rural section roadway with
shoulders. The railroad signals with gates are spaced far enough apart that
the introduction of center medians would not require signal relocation.
Outside curb and gutters would be added and lanes shifted to allow for the
new medians.
The railroad circuitry will need to be upgrade to a Constant Warning Time
(CWT) to meet the rule requirements. The City has already requested
MnDOT and the BNSF upgrade this circuitry because of the railroad siding
to the north causes inappropriate timing at the signal.
Andover Boulevard
Andover Boulevard is a rural two lane roadway with two tracks. The railroad
signals with gates are only 38 feet apart and do not provide sufficient space
to add a median. The signal will need to be relocated or replaced.
The signals were install in the 1980s and major relocation work may
necessitate a complete replacement of the system. The BNSF has identified
that the relocation and lor replacement would be at the City's expense. The
concrete surface will also need to extended or replaced. The existing surface
is in far to good condition,
Crosstown Boulevard
Crosstown Boulevard is a two lane rural roadway. The railroad signals with
gates are spaced only 35 feet apart and do not provide sufficient space to add
a median. The signal will need to be relocated or replaced,
The signals were install in the 1980s and major relocation work may
necessitate a complete replacement of the system. The BNSF has identified
that the relocation and lor replacement would be at the City's expense. The
concrete surface will also need to extended or replaced. The existing surface
is in far to good condition.

A-ANDOV0605.00

161 sl Avenue
161 sl Avenue is a two lane rural roadway. The roadway signals are space far
enough apart the no work would be require on the signal system. The
medians could be added and the lanes shifted. The existing shoulder width
would be reduced from 8 feet to 4 feet. There will need to be some minor
work on the right turn lane just east of the crossing.
Ward Lake Drive
Ward Lake Drive is a rural gravel roadway. The railroad signals were
installed in 2002 and are 32' apart. The railroad signals will need to be
relocated to allow for a median. The BNSF has identified that the relocation
and lor replacement would be at the City's expense. The existing timber
crossing will need to be lengthened and replaced.
181" Avenue
181" Avenue is rural two lane on the northern boundary of the City. The
signals were install in the 1980s and major relocation work may necessitate a
complete replacement of the system. The signals with gates will need to be
relocated to allow for the installation of the medians. The BNSF has
identified that the relocation and lor replacement would be at the City's
expense. There will be additional road work and possible wetland impacts
when the roadway is widened.
1.3.2 Four Quadrant Gates
Four quadrant gates systems have two additional exit gates installed
compared to a traditional signal system. These exit gates operate on a delay
to the normal gates to allow vehicles to clear the crossing, The addition of
the two exit gates requires a complete rewiring of the crossing circuitry and
generally will require the installation ofloop detectors in the pavement. Loop
detectors would detect if a vehicle is stopped on the track and would keep the
exist gate in the up position, so the vehicle is not trapped between two gates.
The rewiring of the signal system is needed because of the exit gate circuitry
is complex and needs a new controller and additional battery backup
capacity. The BNSF's policy is that the Road Authority will be responsible
for the installation and maintenance of the loop detectors and the two
additional gates,
1.3.3
Detailed cost estimates to upgrade are not available at this stage of a project
but the cost will be around $150,000 plus the maintenance costs of $2,000 to
$3,000 per year per crossing. With the age of 5 of the signal systems
around 20 years old, complete new systems may be required.
Wayside Horns
Wayside or stationary horns are a relatively new technology that has recently
been approved for general installation. The wayside horn replaces the train
mounted horn with a horn mounted at the crossing, The wayside horn is
activated by the crossing signal system. The sound of the horn is directed
Railroad Quiet Zone Study
Andover, Minnesota
A-ANDOV0605"OO
Page 10
toward the approaching vehicles so the noise impact area is significantly
reduced. The sound level is the same as a train mounted horn. The horn
system provides feedback to the train engineer that the system is working
properly.
The stationary horn works well in non-residential areas, because the
immediate area near the crossing is subjected to the full noise of the horn for
25 seconds, rather than a gradual increase as the train approaches. The
wayside horn was authorized in the quiet zone rule packet, although it
technically is not in a quiet zone. It is considered the same risk level as a
train mounted horn,
The Road Authority is generally responsible for installation and maintenance
of the system. The installation of wayside horns would cost about $50,000 to
$75,000 per crossing plus the cost to upgrade the signal circuitry. The
circuitry upgrades would be in the range of $25,000 to $50,000 per crossing,
There would also be ongoing inspection and maintenance costs of the system
in the range of $1~,000 to $J~,OOO per year.

Appendix C provides additional detail about the svtem, Their web site
(www.Railroadcontrols.com ) contains complete information.
1.3.4 Quiet Zone Implementation
A community has flexibility in establishing a quiet zone, All crossing within
a City do not have the included in a quiet zone, A plan to phase in a quiet
zone can be devised.
There are three considerations that need to be accounted for:
I. The minimum length of a quiet zone is one half mile. (one quarter
mile in each direction of the crossing) All crossings within a quiet
zone must be included. In Andover, the crossing spacing allows for
each crossing to be treated individual.
2. The risk analysis allows that crossing risk can be average over the
number of crossings in a quiet zone. There may be advantage to
grouping crossings into a quiet zone.
3, Consideration of railroad operations should be accounted for.
Multiple quiet zones in an area create confusion for the train
engineers. A logical plan to implement from the south to the north
should be considered.
Ouiet zone implementation can be phased in. The minimum Federal
requirement is that each Quiet zone is one half mile long and contain a
minimum of one crossing. The spacing of the crossings in Andover allows
each crossing to be considered a separate quiet zone, so the Citv could
implement up to six separate Quiet zones.

1.3.5 Funding
Quiet Zone improvements can be funded by Municipal State Aid (MSA) funds if
the improvements are on a Local Municipal State Aid Route or a County State
Aid Highway (CSAH). Other local funds shall be utilized if the roads are not
designated MSA or CSAH. In Andover, Crosstown Boulevard is the only non-
State Aid Street.
Railroad signals and signal upgrades are normally funded by Federal or Railroad
funds. The Federal funds are part of the Federal Transportation safety
improvement program which are distributed through the Met Council and
MnDOT. MnDOT policy on quiet zones is that Federal funds will not be used
for quiet zone improvements, but would be eligible if the signal system is
antiquated or already scheduled for upgrade. The Met Council solicits potential
proiects every two years and the next solicitation in scheduled for the Spring of
2007. The waiting list for these funds is about 5 years,
The Railroad has participated in signal upgrades if the signals are antiquated or
they have changed their operations that affect signal operations. They do not
participate in quiet zone funding.

Zone. How to phase the improvement will be a important decision.
· The City needs to decide if it is 24-hour or partial night time zone.
· The City needs to decide on what options will be done,
· Reach agreement with Anoka County on quiet zone improvements.
· Prepare final plans and cost estimates.
· Notify the Railroad, County, and Mn/DOT about the City's intention to
establish a quiet zone.

Automated Horn System Sound Contour
Dollution In nelahborhoods for more than 1/2 mile alona the rail corridor,
AHSTM sounds like a train horn because the tone modules In the AHSTM horns were dialtally
recorded from an actual locomotlye horn. After recelYlna the slanal from the railroad's track
circuit warnlna system. AHSTM mimics the train horn warnlna by cvc1ina throuah the standard
railroad whistle oattern until the train reaches the crosslna.
Once the train has entered the crosslna AHSTM stoos soundlna Its horn. A confirmation slanal
notifies the locomotive enalneer that the AHSTM Is functlonlna
orooerly.
When the locomotive enalneer sees that the confirmation
slanalls flashina. he will not be reaulred to sound his horn
unless he detects an unsafe condition at the arade crosslna.
Coordination with the railroad ooeratlna comoany Is essential
since the AHSTM Is directly connected to the railroad's crosslna
slanal-warnlna system, The railroad ooeratlna comoany must
Issue Instructions to their train crews reaardlna the soundlna
or non-soundlna of the train's horn,

Subject: Railroad quiet zone donatio'l
Dear Mr. Berkowitz:
Thank you for taking the time ta mee' with me last week to discuss the
railroad quiet zone study. It is my understanding that due to a lack of
funding. the Crosstown Boulevard railroad intersection will not be
considered at the present time.
As you are well aware. we have an 87-lot development at the intersection
of Crosstown Boulevard and the railrclod crossing. Needless to say. the train
whistle has an adverse effect on lot s<lIes in our development. For this
reason. I would propose the followin~ general outline.
I would make a $100.000 cash donation to the city for the purpose of
creating a quiet zone at the intersec1ion of Crosstown Boulevard and the
railroad crossing. The monies would be payable to the city upon the award
for construction by the city council. 11e construction must be completed by
6/1/07.
Should the city decide to do an areo..assessment for completion of this
project. this offer would be withdraw!" .
If you have any questions or concern::. please feel free to call,
Sincerely,

Update on NPDES & New Requirements/06-01 ~ Engineering
Date:
August 22, 2006
INTRODUCTION
The City of Andover is required to comply with the latest NPDES regulations set forth by the
Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA). Just recently, the City was chosen as one of 30
cities required to formulate a Non-Degradation Report. A select group of cities was chosen
primarily because of factors including current population and growth rate.
DISCUSSION
This new requirement stems from a May 2003 Minnesota Court of Appeals decision to mandate
the MPCA to address non-degradation, which is generally defined as the decline in water quality
since 1988 because of the effects of storm water. This implies that the selected group of cities are
required to perform a study to determine if they are new or expanded significant dischargers and to
develop best management practices (BMP's) or infrastructure improvements to keep pollutant
loading of receiving waters at levels consistently attained in 1988.
The City will be required to assess the change in storm water discharge loading using a model to
address at least three criteria including volume, total suspended solids (TSS) and phosphorus and
create a report to mediate significant new and expanded discharges if found to exceed the levels in
1988.
To adequately follow through with these requirements, staff has sent out and received proposals
from three different engineering firms. The quotes received are as follows:
Contractor
WSB and Associates, Inc,
Wenck Associates, Inc.
Houston Engineering, Inc.
Quote Amount
$32,000.00
$32,016.00
$46,500.00
Wenck Associates, Inc. is the c<;msulting engineering firm for the Coon Creek Watershed District
and is very knowledgeable with the City of Andover. Staff recommends that Wenck Associates,
Inc. be selected to perform the study for the City.
Mayor and Council Members

BUDGET IMP ACT
The study would be funded by the City's Storm Water Utility Fund.
ACTION REOUESTED
It is requested that the City Council award the study to Wenck Associates, Inc. in an amount not to
exceed $32,016.00

Review of Buffer Requirements and Potential Changes - Planning &
Engineering
DATE:
August 22, 2006
INTRODUCTION
There continues to be a number of problems arising on properties where houses are built
close to the back of the required 1 DO-foot buildable area, Especially problematic are
properties that abut wetlands or storm water ponds, There have also been some questions
raised about where the required 16,5 buffer area around wetlands and ponds is to be
measured from. Changes to three code sections are being suggested to address these
problems,
DISCUSSION
The first proposed change is to section 11-3-6-B-I, which lays out the design standards
for lots served by municipal sanitary sewer. This section would be changed as follows:
I. Lots Served By Municipal Sanitary Sewer: Lots served by municipal sanitary
sewer shall remove all organic material and replace with granular material with no
more than five percent (5%) organic material by volume for the front one hundred
sixteen and one-half feet (116.5) fl-OO!1 of depth of the lot at a minimum width of the
lot as required for that zoning district by the zoning ordinance,
This change would create an extra 16.5 feet of buildable space on all urban lots. This
space would allow for the easier placement of decks, patios, sheds, and additions on the
rear of the house, as well as creating more useabIe rear yard space.
The second change would be required if the first change were to be adopted. It would
change the buiIdabiIity requirement mentioned in the definition for a "Buffer Strip" to
match the new I I6.5-foot requirement, as shown below:
BUFFER STRIP: A one rod (16.5 feet or 5 meters) wide area abutting a wetland
and/or storm water pond that shall be left undisturbed or in its natural condition
during the development, building and landscaping phases, The buffer strip shall not
be included within the one hundred sixteen and one-halffoot (116.5) fl-OO!1
buiIdability requirement of Section I I - I -4 of this code. definition of "hnilchhl" lot,,"
The final proposed change is to section 13-6-5. This section establishes the requirement
for buffer strips and describes where they are to be located. There has been some
confusion about where the buffer strip should be measured from around storm water
ponds. The proposed change shown below is meant to remove any confusion:
Requirements: Buffer strips shall be established and maintained in accordance with
the following requirements:
I. Buffer strips shall be identified within each lot by active protective fencing
approved by the city. The developer shall be responsible for the placement of the
fencing. A one rod (16.5 feet or 5 meters, measured linear) wide undisturbed buffer
strip shall be maintained abutting all wetlands and/or storm water ponds during the
development and building phases. (Ord. I 14 A, 7-17-200 I )
2. Buffer strips shall apply to all wetlands and/or storm water ponds. Buffer strips
shall be measured from the delineated wetland boundarv around wetlands and
from the designated normal water level elevation surrounding storm water,
sedimentation and/or rate control ponds as identified on the grading, drainage,
and erosion control plan for all new developments.
3, Buffer strips abutting storm water ponds shall be measured from the 100 year flood
elevation surrounding the storm water pond.
ACTION REOUESTED
The Council is asked to direct staff as to whether or not the proposed ordinance
amendments should move forward.

SUBJECT: Options for Bunker Lake Boulevard Median Maintenance (continued) - Planning
DATE:
August 22, 2006
INTRODUCTION
At the July 25th Council Workshop the discussion item was first introduced. Since that time, staff has
thought about other options available and want to get more input from the Council on what direction to
pursue. Attached is the discussion item as it was presented last month.
DISCUSSION
These are six options that could be considered as to what can be done with the median on Bunker:
I. Do nothing, ($10,000 annual cost to maintain)
2. Remove all the plant materials and place concrete in the median. (one-time cost of$120,000)
3. Remove all the plant materials and place colored concrete in the median (one-time cost of$240,000)
4. Remove all the plant materials and place paver bricks in the median leaving spaces for a limited
number of decorative trees and shrubs. (initial cost could be well over $300,000, with some annual
costs for limited landscape areas)
5. Remove all the plant material and place crushed granite in the median leaving spaces for a limited
number of decorative trees and shrubs. (initial cost of $45,000 with some annual costs for limited
landscaped areas)
6. Remove all the plant materials and start over with a native planting plan. (we are still trying to get a
cost estimate from Prairie Restorations and it will be provided at the meeting)
Staff feels that option #5 is the best one to pursue at this time. Whichever option is picked, the EDA and
City Council will need to be discuss who would pay the costs to do the work. At the meeting, staff will
provide some digital photos of examples of what some other cities have done in their medians.
ACTION REQUESTED
The staff is looking for direction on whether there is anyone option that has more appeal than any of the
others on the list. The Andover Station Owners Associations are still interested in moving towards
lowering their annual operating costs.

SUBJECT: Options for Bunker Lake Boulevard Median Maintenance
DATE: July 25,2006
As you can see from the attached sheet from Finance, the Bunker Lake Boulevard median is again going to cost both
property owners associanons at Andover Station a significant amount of money. TIlls memo is written because the
Associations have asked for us to look at new ways to get these costs under control.
A month ago the staff suggested to put concrete in the entire median. but that was met with objection. Stair has
consulted with Mickman Brothers and together we believe we have an idea of what to do to gain control of the weeds
and still have landscaping in the median. We feel that we need to limit the amount of organic area to only about 10%
of the area and selectively place salt tolerant, very hardy plants in a proper fashion in smaller spaces (see attached
drawing). The situation we have right now is out of control and will not ever be completely under control unless we
do a major change.
We would suggest a material in the median that looks nice, and is able to keep weeds from growing up and is more
cost effective to install. Th~ material would be a grey colored crushed (unwashed sand) granite quarry rock that is
placed and compacted very well, then a material called "poly pavement" would be sprayed on it to hold it in place
and bind the material together. The finished product would look like exposed aggregate (stronger than bituminous).
The idea would be to reduce the amount of organic growing media to a much smaller area, and then plant very close
together to have the plants out compete the weeds. The cost breakdown below is what could be expected include:
Item No. Description Units Est. Quantity Unit Price Total
I Mobilization Each I $3,500 $3,500
2 Traffic Control Each 1 $3,500 $3,500

Changes in Deer Hunting Regulations - Planning
DATE:
August 22, 2006
INTRODUCTION
Council requested information on changing the border of the bow hunting area on the map to allow
hunting in an area where it is currently prohibited,
DISCUSSION
Chapter 5-4 ofthe City Code regulates where firearms may be discharged in the City. It is referred to
as our "Discharge Ordinance." The ordinance references a map that illustrates three discharge zones in
Andover:
1) Prohibited Zone: The discharge of firearms and bows is completely prohibited.
2) Restricted Zone 1: 10 acres required to shoot a gun, 2,5 acres required to shoot a bow &
arrow,
3) Restricted Zone 2: 10 acres required to shoot a gun at geese, 40 acres required to shoot a gun
at deer. 2.5 acres required to shoot a bow & arrow,
Several property owners in the Prohibited Zone have requested that their land be placed in Restricted
Zone 2, which would allow them to hunt deer with bow & arrow on their property. Their properties are
in the R-I zoning district, which means they are at least 2.5 acres and have private wells and septic
systems. The area to be added would be north of Andover Boulevard between Prairie Road and
University Avenue (see attachment).
To accommodate this request, the Council will need to change the "Firearm!Bow Discharge Map." If
the Council approves this map amendment, then final changes will be made to the official map on file
at the City. As with all changes to the City Code, a public hearing will be required.
Respectfully submitted,

meetings to review requests and ultimately prepared the proposed 2007 Annual Operating Budget
for City Council review. Items underlined identifY areas that staff is seeking Council input.
DISCUSSION
Budget Guidelines:
The following are City Council's 2007 Budget Development guidelines (established by the City
Council on May 2,2006) used by City Staff to prepare the proposed 2007 operating budget:
1) A commitment to maintain or reduce the City Tax Capacity Rate, utilizing recent market
value growth to meet the needs of the organization and positioning the City for long-term
competitiveness, staffing and capital requirements through sustainable revenue sources and
operational efficiencies.
2) A commitment to review various revenue streams, including but not limited to tax levy, state
aid, grants and special assessments, to adequately fund necessary City roadway
improvements.
3) A fiscal goal that works toward establishing the General Fund balance for working capital at
no less than 35% of planned 2007 General Fund expenditures.
4) A commitment to limit the 2007 debt levy to no more than 25% of the gross tax levy and a
commitment to a detailed city debt analysis to take advantage of alternative financing
consistent with the City's adopted Debt Policy.
5) A comprehensive review of the condition of capital equipment to ensure that the most cost-
effective replacement schedule is followed. Equipment will be replaced on the basis of a cost
benefit analysis rather than a year based replacement schedule.
6) A team approach that encourages strategic planning to meet immediate and long-term
operational, staffing, infrastructure and facility needs.
1
7) A management philosophy that actively supports the implementation of Council policies and
goals, and recognizes the need to be responsive to changing community conditions, concerns
and demands in a cost effective manner.
Fund Balance Update:
Work still continues by staff relative to 2006 Budget revenue and expenditure estimates. Any
additional revenues and expense savings will assist in achieving the Council guideline that works
toward establishing the General Fund fund balance for working capital at no less than 35% of
planned 2007 General Fund expenditures. AdministrationlFinance would also like to preserve
the emergency reserve fund balances for core services (snow emergency, facility management,
public safety, and information technology) and economic development that were created through
the 2006 Budget process. To date the following emergency fund balance designations in addition
to a 35% working capital designation ($2,986,366) are identified as part of the proposed 2007
Budget:
1. Snow Emergency
2. Facility Management
3. Information Technology
4. Public Safety
4. Economic Development

Phasing out tax increment budget support
The $250,000 of emergency fund balances does comply with the City's Financial Policies that
states:
"The City will budget to maintain an unreserved fund balance available for contingencies of
between 1 percent and 3 percent of budgeted expenditures for each operating fund in order to
finance unforeseen items and events that occur during the course of the year. It is not necessary
for each fund to hold its own contingency, The General Fund may hold contingencies for other
funds when appropriate."
New Staffing Requests:
The deadline for new staffing requests was due July 5th. Requests were received the Fire
Department, Public Works and the Community Center. Administration is not recommending any
new staffing for the Fire Department and Public Works request will be dealt with through
creative staff scheduling and equipment purchases that will achieve efficiencies.
The Community Center staffing request will flow through the Community Center Advisory
Commission and be dependent on available revenue sources.
Personnel Related Implications:
To date the following are issues facing personnel related expenses:
I. A total salary compensation adjustment package is proposed to provide wages that are
competitive with other government entities. Human Resources indicated that 2007 wage
proposals in other communities for a cost-of-living increase are ranging from 3% to over
4%. Finance/Administration is currently utilizing a 3.5% cost-of-living increase for the
2
proposed 2007 Budget as a place holder. Council concurrence relative to this percentage
will be sought at the workshop.
2. It is anticipated that as in past budgets, there is a need to request additional budget dollars
to bring into market positions that are not competitive with comparable communities.
The past few years that number was $25,000 to $30,000, the proposed 2007 Budget
proposes a lesser number ($15,000) since the past few years adiustments have made
significant strides in achieving competitive pay, Also in 2007 the City will need to
prepare for Pay Equity Compliance. The City's Human Resources Manager, in
consultation with the City Council and City Administrator, will conduct the market
analysis.
3. The proposed budget is currently carrying a 15% health insurance increase (the
guaranteed maximum increase under our contract with Preferred One). The mid year
review of the health plan that was recently done is predicting a 10% increase, Once the
actual renewal is negotiated, the budget will be adiusted accordingly. You may recall that
the City switched to a high deductible plan with a health spending account (HSA). I am
remaining optimistic that the switch will lower future health insurance increases.
4. Various departments will have changes in the personal services line items do to the
reallocation of staffing in the respective departments. The most significant allocation
changes will be in Protective Inspection, Public Works, Planning, Administration, and
Finance departments. The Public Works allocations are to be reflective of actual;
Protective Inspection Department reflecting staffing shifts; the Administration and
Planning allocation reflecting a reduction in the amount of time charged to the EDA
budget; and the Finance Department will reflect a reduction in the total staffing
complement.
5. The Finance Director and Administration Secretarv positions are still in the budget. but
reflect mid-2007 hiring. These positions will be reviewed in early 2007 after recent
staffing changes and staffing complements have had an opportunity to be adequately
assessed for meeting service demands.
Contractual Departments:
1. The City Attorney has submitted a 3% contract increase. The increase ($5,630 annually)
is substantiated by an increase in the number of criminal prosecutions and a slight
modification to accommodate legal expenses that are not covered under the retainer
agreement.
2. The Anoka County Sheriffs contract is currently being negotiated, currently just
maintaining the status quo (72 hour of law enforcement coverage, 12 hours of
Community Service Officer coverage, two School Liaison Officers, additional park patrol
through use of CSOs and a part-time Crime Prevention position) results in an increase of
$123,512.
Per Council direction. Administration has requested pricing for additional patrolling,
pricing was received for an additional 8 hours of law enforcement coverage. The
following identifies the additional cost based on a particular start date:

Capital Projects Levy:
Capital Proiects Levv - The 2007 Budget number for the Capital Projects Levy is part of the
2007-2011 Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) review process, The full CIP will be presented at the
August 29th workshop.
· Road and Bridge - This levy is proposed for transportation programming related to
maintaining City streets, roadways and pedestrian trails, This would be the fourth year
that a portion of the Road & Bridge Fund is dedicated to pedestrian trail maintenance.
This levy is also used for the City's seal coating and crack sealing programs and to street
overlays and reconstructs. The 2007 Road and Bridge levy was calculated using an
additional 1 % of captured net tax capacity based on Council direction, And while the
policy for road assessments is not fully complete. the budget is designed to achieve the
Council's goal of adequately funding necessarv City roadway improvements,
· Park Improvements - This levy is proposed as an annual appropriation to be used to
underwrite a wide range of park improvement projects as recommended by the Park and
Recreation Commission and approved by the City Council. This funding is intended to be
a long-term supplemental source of capital funding for park projects that would be
separately identified in the City's Five-Year Capital Improvement Plan, A 3% levy
increase is proposed.
4
· Capital EquipmentIProiects - Under the Capital Projects Levy, the levy proposed is
designated to capital improvement/equipment project expenditures. Through this
designation, the City, over time, will be able to build a fund reserve to avoid cash flow
"spikes" and address a wide range of capital improvement needs such as facility
maintenance projects under a more controlled spending environment. No increase will be
proposed for this levy, which is currently approximately $210.000,
Debt Service Levy:
Annually the Finance Department conducts a detailed debt service analysis to monitor
outstanding debt and to look for early debt retirement or refinancing opportunities that will yield
interest expense saving to the City, that process is currently underway.
The Debt Service levy will need to provide for (at a minimum) the following debt service
payments:
· 2004A G.O. Capital Imp. Bonds
· 2004 EDA Public Facility Bonds
· 2005 G.O. Capital Imp. Bonds
· 2005B G.O. Equipment Certificate
· 2006B G.O. Equipment Certificate
$365,051
$889,718
$126,305
$ 63,945
$188,475
There will also be an additional $200.000 added to the levy to accommodate a 2007 G,O.
Equipment Certificate to purchase equipment that will be outlined in the 2007-2011 CIP.
The levy for the 2004 EDA Public Facility Bonds represents the levy designated in the pro-forma
financial statements for the community center.
ACTION REOUESTED
The Council is requested to review the 2007 Budget progress and provide direction to staff,
