32 support the effort. Mayor Trude explained that there is special pricing on AEDs during this time and
33 that the Heart Safe team would like to see them placed where the City's young people gather such as
34 Prairie Knoll Park, where there are activities almost year -around. There are plans for training
35 community members to use the equipment, noting that AEDs are for bystander CPR. The AEDs that
36 will be purchased are ones that are compatible with hospital and ambulance equipment. Mayor

21 Investigator Knealing presented the February 2016 Anoka County Sheriff's Department Monthly
22 Report to the City Council.
23
24 Investigator Knealing reported on the Polar Plunge event that took place at Crooked Lake. There
25 were 745 plungers and $187,000 was raised for the Special Olympics in Minnesota. There was a
26 little smaller turnout than the previous year due to the warm weather. He stated there was good

28
29 CONSIDER RECOMMENDATION FOR APPOINTMENT/COON CREEK WATERSHED
30 DISTRICT VACANCIES
31
32 This agenda item was in regard to recommending to the Anoka County Board of Commissioners
33 an individual or individuals to serve as a manager on the Coon Creek Watershed District
34 (CCWD).
35
36 The City Council is requested to consider submitting a letter recommending an individual or
37 individuals to the Anoka County Board of Commissioners to serve on the Coon Creek Watershed
38 District (CCWD) Board as there are two managers whose term expires on May 27, 2016. At this
39 time, the only new individual expressing interest in serving on the Board is Ronald Boulton who
40 is an Andover resident.
41
42 Mayor Trude expressed her support for a candidate with an Andover address as there is a lot of
43 representation from other districts and she has had concerns regarding the budget. She stated that
Regular Andover City Council Meeting
Minutes — March 15, 2016
Page 4
1 Mr. Boulton has an interest and history on this topic.
2
3 Councilmember Bukkila noted that in order for names submitted to the County to be considered,
4 the list must contain the names of at least three nominees to be eligible for consideration.
5
6 Mayor Trude indicated that in the past fewer than three names had been submitted because there has
7 not been enough interest. Mr. Dickinson responded that to meet statuary requirements it does need
8 to be three names that are submitted and if not the submission does not have to be considered by the
9 Board.
10
11 Councilmember Bukkila confirmed that she did not want them not to be considered because the
12 Council did not meet the legal requirement.
13
14 Mayor Trude commented that she thought the vacancy letter went to everyone in the County.
15
16 Mr. Dickinson confirmed that the notice goes to the Mayors and City Administrators within the
17 district and that the minimum requirement for Anoka County is to place an advertisement in the
18 Anoka County Record. If no list is presented to the Board, then they have the right to appoint
19 members to the CCWD board.
20
21 Councilmember Bukkila stated that she would like to meet the legal requirement with a preference
22 for a resident.
23
24 Mayor Trude stated that there had been an Andover resident on the Board in the past but they had
25 lost their reappointment. She recommended submitting three names and ranking them. Her
26 recommendation in order is Mr. Boulton, Mr. Hoffman, and Mr. Kearns.
27
28 Councilmember Bukkila stated that she did not know Mr. Kearns and did not feel comfortable
29 ranking them. Councilmember Bukkila indicated that she felt it was not appropriate to rank them, as
30 individuals did not come before the Council for an interview. She would like to meet the statutory
31 requirement by giving the Board a list of three, but recommending Mr. Boulton.
32
33 Mayor Trude indicated that she would be happy to work with staff on the letter and plan to note that
34 the City has not had representation for some time. She recommended ranking the applicants in the
35 order the applications were received.
36
37 Motion by Bukkila, Seconded by Goodrich, to recommend Mr. Boulton, Mr. Hoffinan and Mr.
38 Kerns as nominees, with a preference of support for Andover resident, Mr. Boulton. Motion
39 carried unanimously.

17
18 ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT
19
20 City Staff updated the Council on the administration and city department activities, legislative
21 updates, updates on development/CIP projects, and meeting reminders/community events.
22
23 (Meetings) Mr. Dickinson reported that he had participated in several meetings on behalf of the
24 City including the North Metro Mayor's Water Group, which is working toward the streamlining
25 of the approval process of storm water related issues for developments. The Metro Cities
26 Regional Solicitation Meeting focused on transportation funding and looking at opportunities for
27 funding projects in the City. Mr. Dickinson indicted this meeting was an opportunity to educate
28 himself on the regional solicitation process. He gave the example of the Hanson Boulevard
29 expansion project that will receive $7M from this program. The total cost of the project is
30 $11.5M and there will be a need for City money going into this project in the future. Mr.
31 Dickinson reminded the Council about the upcoming Workshop next week.
32
33 (Martin Meadows) Last week Mr. Dickinson and two other Councilmembers toured Martin
34 Meadows with the Open Space Advisory Commission. The purpose was to review the project
35 done by Great River Greening. They were very pleased with the work that has been done and
36 acknowledged this is what was needed for long term health of the property.
37
38 (Property Closing) Mr. Dickinson will be going to the property closing on the REMAX project
39 on Crosstown Drive and Bunker Lake Boulevard. There is an EDA parcel and a City parcel
40 involved in that closing.
41
42 (New Homes) Fifteen new homes have been permitted in 2016, which is almost double
43 compared to 2015, in only two months. The hope is for 50-70 homes by the end of the year. Mr.
Regular Andover City Council Meeting
Minutes — March 15, 2016
Page 6
1 Dickinson noted that the Parade of Homes is on now and there are two pages in the book
2 dedicated to homes in Andover. It is also a great opportunity for the Council to see what the
3 builders are doing in our community.
4
5 (Engineering) Mr. Berkowitz stated that street reconstruction project is out for bids and there
6 are two trail projects planned that are in the design phase, as well as a sidewalk along Bunker
7 Lake Boulevard to serve Hidden Creek Park. Mr. Berkowitz reported that the street sweepers
8 have gotten out early due to the good weather and they will first focus on helping to reduce the
9 sediment going into the lakes. Street sweeping takes about a month city-wide. Tree trimming is
10 ongoing and helps emergency vehicles and snow plows to get through. Water main flushing
11 happens every other year and will begin on April 11th. He noted that it can dislodge sediment in
12 the pipes and cause discoloration in the water and to not be alarmed and that the actual amount of
13 iron is less than it has been prior, primarily due to the construction of the water treatment plant.
14 That is why it can now be done every other year rather than every year.
15
16 Mayor Trude indicated that she had been seeing a lot of pot hole patching happening in the City
17 and there was a lot of noise in the area where the trees are being removed. This will be ongoing
18 through the end of the month near Bunker Hills Park. The trees being removed are clearly
19 marked. Doug Fisher noted that oak wilt was not a threat. Mayor Trude stated she understands
20 that people are turning to websites for updates on matters like this. Mr. Berkowitz responded by
21 indicated that you can log in and register on the County website and automatically get an update
22 each week on County highway projects and that is how he follows County work.
23
24 Mayor Trude stated the website had not been updated for quite some time and requested the
25 information be put on Facebook when staff starts to see some activity.
26
27 MAYOR/COUNCIL INPUT
28
29 (Heart Safe Communities) Mayor Trude indicated that the Heart Safe Community group is
30 interested in getting more AEDs into the community. The Fire Department is doing an inventory
31 of the AEDs that are currently in place so it can be determined where more are needed. Processes
32 will need to be put into place so that the batteries are checked regularly. Training will start when
33 the City has trainers and there are teachers that will be available in the summer to help. Training
34 could happen at Fun Fest and the City can use some of the resources from Allina, in addition to
35 already providing help with training and training equipment. The Mayor asked residents to send
36 her an email if they have interest in the project and stated that there will be a web page on the
37 City's website. The Andover Post Office would like to get an AED, stating that local publicity
38 and the news has brought this to people's attention.
39
40 (Miller's Woods) Councilmember Knight stated there had been a request to upgrade the trail in
41 the Miller's Woods area and to provide a connection to other City trails. He had passed that
42 email request on to Mr. Dickinson. He commented there are a lot of trail conscious people in the
43 City.

1 Mayor Trude indicated this is one of the new trails on the CIP list, and there are a lot of young
2 families in that area and over 200 homes. She mentioned previous discussions related to a safe
3 pedestrian crossing over the railroad tracks in that area.
4
5 Mr. Dickinson indicated there will be more discussion coming up related to trails as part of the
6 CIP process at the next workshop meeting. A particular project for the Miller's Woods area is
7 scheduled out for 2019.
8
9 (Open Space Advisory Commission) Councilmember Knight stated the Open Space Advisory
10 Commission has done a wonderful job and that the Martin Meadows visit created an opportunity
11 to wander around and passively enjoy the area.
12
13 (Home Show) Councilmember Goodrich stated he appreciated the good work that the staff had
14 done to represent the City. Mayor Trude indicated that the attendance was a little down in the
15 afternoon due to the exceptionally warm weather.

ANDOVER CITY COUNCIL WORKSHOP MEETING —MARCH 22, 2016

Fire Chief; Jerry Streich

to order by Mayor Julie Trude,
town Boulevard NW, Andover,
and James Goodrich
Fire Chief, Jerry Streich ll gave background information about Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAV).
UAVs now cost around $600-$800 and can fly 35 m.p.h. and about 1,000 feet in height (Federal
law limits are set at 400 feet) and can take high, definition photos and video. The operator has a
controller with their own Wi-Fi signal. He expressed a desire to get in front of the issue as he
expects that in the immediate, future there could be a situation where an individual might be
flying an UAV over an event or,parade in the City. Mr. Streich stated that one of the "hot"
issues is privacy and noted that the FAA governs airspace. The UAV he personally brought for a
demonstration was designed for recreational use and is easy to fly because it is technologically
advanced. There is also a commercial version. The specifications of the controller essentially
limit how far the signal can go, and therefore how far the UAV can go. Federal law does not
give the City the power to regulate or ground a UAV. Mr. Streich stated after discussion with
City Administration and the City Attorney a draft ordinance was prepared. Drones are the term
used for UAVs utilized by the military. An ordinance could address safety concerns along with
defining what power deputies would have to ground a UAV. Specific safety concerns mentioned
were a UAV getting close to powerlines or trains. Mr. Streich confirmed that there are currently
no state regulations regarding UAVs. Mr. Dickinson stated this evening is intended to see if the
Council would like staff to pursue this any further at this time after a good discussion.
Mayor Trude stated that she would hate to be the first city to regulate on this matter as it is
someone's hobby and mentioned remote control airplanes being flown in parks. She continued
by indicating that she would have a hard time banning people from having fun and cited

previously banning dogs from Andover city parks, as an example. She believes that people are
likely to use parks for this type of activity and would like to focus on issues related to just public
safety. She would like to work together with other cities and considering that there have been no
complaints, this may be premature.
Councilmember Goodrich referred to 4-7-6, letter C noting that the ordinance did not apply to
"toy aircraft." Mr. Streich replied that a UAV of this nature would not be considered a toy.
Councilmember Knight asked what the State is doing to regulate UAVs. Mr. Streich said that
there have been several bills and that he sees a gap.
Councilmember Bukkila said that she does not have any concerns about the City being "out
front" on this issue. She stated that right now someone can fly an UAV into her yard and she can
not do anything about it.
City Attorney Scott Baumgartner stated he had done research and he found that no one really has
a "good grasp" on this issue yet. He noted that some cities have "drone -free" zones and other
states have a 2 year moratorium in place waiting to see what the Federal Aviation Administration
(FAA) will do. He continued by stating that the FAA was supposed to have regulations
addressing this in September of 2015 and then the deadline was moved to early 2016 and now
estimates are that it will not be until 2017 when they will have regulations on UAVs. Mr.
Baumgartner believes that those regulations will focus more on commercial uses. He agreed that
there are safety concerns. Cities are taking a wait-and-see approach but it may not be soon
enough.
Mayor Trude noted that for commercial applications, a pilot's license is required. Our Sherriff s
Department will have to be able to deal with these concerns. Mr. Baumgartner stated that media
outlets likely have additional requirements because that would be considered a commercial
application, if they are there to operate as a business. Mr. Streich stated that Anoka County has 2
UAVs and that the Sherriff's Office has 2 UAVs. Mr. Baumgartner said that someone
photographing someone on their property would be an invasion of privacy.
Councilmember Bukkila stated that she would rather have the ordinance written on paper.
Councilmember Goodrich asked if the City or an ordinance would grant an exception for drone
usage at athletic facilities/events. Mr. Baumgartner recalled an incidence that occurred at a high
school event in Anoka.
Councilmember Holthus expressed her concern related to privacy and school children, in that
case, and how the video would be used and gave the example of social media.
Councilmember Bukkila stated that she felt an athletic event is more of a safety issue and less of
a privacy issue because you are in a public place.

Councilmember Bukkila stated that she felt strongly that there needed to be an ordinance in place
to provide basic protection in terms of public safety and it could be "reigned in" later.
Mayor Trude stated that Andover would be the pilot city having this type of ordinance and that
she did not think it would pass constitutional scrutiny. She would like to "reign it in" sooner
rather than later.
Councilmember Holthus expressed that having drones overhead at a public event can be
intimidating (citing the Twin Cities marathon, as an example).
Mayor Trude gave examples of possible public areas where someone might want to use a UAV,
that might be considered a public event, such as a wedding at Sunshine Park. She expressed
overall concerns about being overly broad with the language in the ordinance and that could be
addressed by Mr. Baumgartner. Whenever active duty personnel are at an incident, UAVs would
be prohibited.
Councilmember Bukkila asked, if we prohibit all of these locations, then where can UAVs be
used? Mr. Baumgartner responded that it is important to remember that it is not prohibited, but
rather these are situations where permission is needed, such as a wedding at Sunshine Park. This
lets the City know who is operating the UAV, if there is an issue.
Mayor Trude referred to a recent article she read and the importance of looking at what is the
government purpose for regulating these and that Councilmember Bukkila had brought up
personal privacy and safety, fire safety and public emergencies.
Councilmember Bukkila stated when something interferes with a neighbor's rights or privacy,
she believes that there needs to be something to protect the rights of the common person. She
continued by asking if the FAA is only going to address commercial applications of UAVs or are
they going to leave the local governments to address recreational uses. Mr. Baumgartner replied
that the FAA has said that they would like local help with enforcement. He continued by saying
that the FAA is more concerned with the airspace and interference with air traffic, as opposed to
local issues.
Mayor Trude asked Mr. Baumgartner if the ordinance was too broad or if it was "stomping on
constitutional rights."
Councilmember Bukkila stated that she believes that critical infrastructure is serious business.
Mayor Trude stated that the City has 1,000 people with large lots in the area that could fly UAVs

and there are kids building UAVs as part of their homeschooling. Many homes have railroad
tracks adjacent to their property. Mr. Baumgartner stated all ordinances have to address health,
safety and welfare. Safety and privacy issues have been identified and the fact is that anyone can
sue anyone at any time for anything.
Mr. Baumgartner indicated that "buzzing" a train is different than flying over a railroad track.
Mayor Trude commented that UAVs are largely a recreational activity.
Mr. Baumgartner gave an example of someone taking photos or videos of a loved one who died
in a horrific accident.
Mayor Trude stated that she heard strong sentiments from Councilmembers around privacy
rights. It is important to think about how we are going to defend it.
Councilmember Goodrich stated he likes the exception for sporting events and that residents
should be able to fly UAVs in their own yard without permission.
Councilmember Bukkila asked about adding letter G to address areas of critical infrastructure.
Discussion followed about the use of the words "knowingly or intent' and defining "critical
areas." Mr. Baumgartner brought up addressing explosives and adding the word "hovering."
Councilmember Bukkila referred to Section 4-7-4. Mr. Baumgartner suggested adding language
that gave a qualifier prior to listing all of the items.
Mayor Trude referred to the limit on UAVs from sunset to sunrise. She recommended a
reference to the FAA regulations. Mr. Baumgartner said that the FAA has a guideline that
recommends certain safety practices around UAVs. These are safety guidelines, but are not
regulations.
Mayor Trude asked if Andover was going to regulate airspace where the FAA does not want to
do so (under 400 feet). Mr. Baumgartner replied that the FAA has "bigger fish to fry." Mayor
Trude asked Councilmember Holthus about her thoughts. She replied that her main concern is
privacy.
Councilmember Goodrich said that his main concern is safety.
Mr. Dickinson stated that he is hearing that there is more clarification needed around public
events and letter "G" in the draft ordinance.
Councilmember Bukkila asked for more information about how to gain permission be added to
the ordinance and that she does not want it to be too hard to do so.
Councilmember Knight asked about what would happen if there were picnics going on in the
park. Mr. Baumgartner suggested adding a sentence before 4-7-4 related to "harassing" or

"endangering."
Mayor Trude referred to letter E and the need to refer to a distance and her thought that letter F
overlaps with letter E. She brought up an officer's discretion if they are the officer in charge as
well as objective measures or subjective measures.
Councilmember Bukkila suggested a checklist that could be put on line when permission would
potentially be granted. An educational video could also be done with QCTV.
Major Trude asked if the issue could be moved forward in concert with other local cities.
Mr. Baumgartner said that other police and fire chiefs were "on board," and are very interested in
what Andover is reviewing.
Councilmember Holthus brought up social media issues related to media that could be gathered
by a UAV.
Councilmember Holthus and Bukkila said they did not mind if Andover led with this ordinance.
Councilmember Goodrich liked the changes that were being discussed.
Mr. Baumgartner said that regulating what people do with social media is outside of the City's
control.
Mr. Dickinson confirmed that this item would not require a public hearing, but the Council may
want to do so.
Mayor Trude asked that the issue come back to another workshop meeting because she is
concerned about potential constitutional issues. Mr. Dickinson indicated he would place an
update on this topic on the next month's workshop meeting.
Mr. Baumgartner believes that the cities of Anoka and Ramsey will likely follow next in line and
Elk River may as well.
DISCUSS TITLE 4 & 9 PUBLIC HEAL THAND SAFETY & BUILDING REGULATIONS
Mr. Patch reviewed the work that has been done related to the overall updating of building codes.
All ordinance sections were identified with changes.
Councilmember Bukkila asked if there were any substantial changes. Mr. Patch responded by
stating that the work focused on the clean-up and correcting of the language in the ordinances.
Councilmember Goodrich asked if this changes any of the processes or enforcement. Mr. Patch
replied that it does not. The next step is that Mr. Carlberg will bring it forward as a planning
item and then it will go to the Planning and Zoning Commission, and then to the Council, and
then a public hearing on the items related to the zoning code. In the meantime there will be some

3 Mr. Dickinson commented that these changes will make it a lot easier for a casual observer to
4 review the code. If there are no major concerns by the Council, he would like it to move forward
5 towards approval and then start the planning and zoning process on the items related to the
6 zoning code.
7 Councilmember Bukkila stated that she is comfortable moving forward knowing the work is
8 primarily an organizational effort.
9
10 Councilmember Knight brought up the issue of granny flats. Mr. Dickinson said that accessory
11 dwelling units have been addressed in the recent months by the Planning & Zoning Commission.
12 Mr. Carlberg said this issue may be going to a public hearing in April.
13
14 Councilmember Holthus thanked Mr. Patch for good work on this project.

16 Mayor Trude expressed her desire for an enhanced online search function for the building code.

24 DISCUSS TITLE 2, BOARDS AND COMMISSIONS
25
26 Mr. Carlberg indicated that the issue of inconsistencies between the different policies governing
27 the Planning & Zoning Commission and the Park & Recreation Commission came up during the
28 most recent interview process for commissioners. The Council asked that there be consistency in
29 the matter of absences and officer selection in the respective ordinances. The Planning & Zoning
30 Commission currently elects their chair and vice chair and the Council ratifies the selection.
31
32 Councilmember Bukkila brought up the question of 1 or 2 year terms for the position of chair as
33 it relates to 3 year terms for commissioners. She recommended a change to 1 year terms for the
34 chair.
35
36 Mayor Trude asked if the Council wanted to allow any other reasons for absences other than
37 personal illness or if they wanted to add a provision for the illness of a close family member.
38 Mr. Carlberg responded that the Council is free to remove any member of the Commission for
39 any reason at any time. The Park & Recreation Commission policy documentation will be
40 updated to match the Planning & Zoning Commission. There was discussion around the
41 importance of committing to attendance by commissioners due to 4 members needing to be
42 present to meet the quorum requirements at a meeting. At work sessions Mr. Carlberg expresses
43 the importance of attendance at meetings. A concern was expressed about poor attendance
44 during the winter months. Notice of non-attendance is generally being given ahead of time. Mr.

Carlberg pointed out that the Planning & Zoning Commission documents are proposed that they
shall hold at least one meeting per month, but can have more, and they should not be required to
have 2 meetings. The quorum of the number of Commissioners appointed was discussed. Park
& Recreation policies will be drafted to match the section on absences in the Planning & Zoning
Commission policies and medical references for absences will be added as well. A change in the
chair's term will be made to 1 year as discussed earlier.
Mayor Trude stated that she would like to retain the ability to ratify the chair in the case of the
Park & Recreation Commission.
Councilmember Bukkila indicated she would like all of the Commissions to be the same.
Councilmember Knight stated sometimes commissioners do not properly deal with issues.
Mr. Carlberg commented if there are issues on the Planning & Zoning Commission, he feels that
it is his job to address them and that is how it should be.
Councilmember Knight stated he felt the chair position should be by approval of the Council.
Councilmember Bukkila asked about composition of appointments for Planning & Zoning and
would that apply to the Park & Recreation Commission and who is the staff person assigned to
attend. Mr. Carlberg responded that the Planning & Zoning Commission has a legal role and that
the Park & Recreation Commission is advisory. He suggested that the policy document could
indicate that additional staff may attend the Park and Recreation Commission.
Councilmember Knight asked if there are instructions for new commissioners as to how to
function. Mr. Carlberg indicated that there are training aids and packets. Roles and
responsibilities are described and new commissioners get a copy of Roberts Rules of Order. He
personally conducts training with new Planning & Zoning commissioners.
Mr. Carlberg will make the discussed changes to the documentation and bring them back to the
Council for approval.
DISCUSS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN UPDATE PROCESS
Mr. Carlberg gave background on statutes and laws and the history of the 10 year requirement
for the Comprehensive Plan. Ten years ago there were task forces, work sessions, resident
forums, and work stations with maps. Mr. Carlberg asked the Councilmembers if they saw a
need for a task force and commented that the Planning & Zoning Commission could be utilized,
along with the Park & Recreation Commission. The public can be engaged and the process will
include working chapter by chapter of the Comp Plan. Mr. Carlberg stated there is a 13 page
document to guide the City through the process. The submittal deadline for the Comp Plan is
September 2018. Mr. Carlberg noted that the Comp Plan has to be submitted to neighboring
cities, County and the school district prior to the deadline, along with the Metropolitan Council.

Andover City Council Workshop Meeting
Minutes — March 22, 2016
Page 8
Mr. Carlberg has started to put together a timeline. The City has to hire for water studies and
other consulting work before the real work starts on the plan. By July 1ST the City will need to
start commissioning the studies.
Councilmember Knight stated the Metropolitan Council has a "big thing going on with water."
This discussion was tabled until the end of the meeting.
Mayor Trude confirmed there was consensus, amongst the Councilmembers, that the
Commissions should be utilized to do this work, as opposed to a separate task force. She asked
staff to identify any big picture items that the Council should address in a workshop meeting,
prior to getting to far into the Comp Plan work, such as accommodating housing requirements
into the plan.
Mr. Dickinson stated high-density housing requirement is essentially a math problem. He
confirmed that there is no real penalty for the City not meeting the requirement, as we do not
seek livable community funds.
Mr. Carlberg stated you need to show on the map how you will accommodate it.
Mayor Trude indicated if a developer is not willing to build the high-density housing, the City is
not required to do so. She asked that a future Council workshop deal with this portion of the
Comp Plan requirement.
Mr. Dickinson stated the Comp Plan references areas that the City may want to target for funding
based on identified needs.
Mayor Trude stated she would like to hear early in the process regarding issues about where we
are at capacity with sewers.
Mr. Berkowitz confirmed there was a transportation task force the last time the Comp Plan was
put together, with 15 members and 5 meetings. That part of the Comp Plan can be revisited and
updated with new requirements. He continued by saying that a comprehensive trail plan will be
part of the Comp Plan process.
Mr. Carlberg stated the Open Space program will need to become a part of the Comp Plan this
time.
Mr. Dickinson confirmed the number for the City is 483 affordable housing units.
Mr. Carlberg confirmed the goal for housing is for the years 2021 - 2030.
Mr. Dickinson stated the water supply plan does not have to comply with the Metropolitan
Council water plan. The Metropolitan Council has been studying the water resources, they can
provide guidance but it is not under their purview.
Andover City Council Workshop Meeting
Minutes — March 22, 2016

1 Mr. Berkowitz made a distinction between water quality related to storm water and water supply.
2 He explained where the City's wells are located, what kind of wells the City has and some of the
3 concerns around starting out this year with less water due to having a dry winter.
4
5 2017-2021 CIP DISCUSSION & 2016 CIP PROGRESS REPORT
6
7 Mr. Dickinson stated this is the time of the year when the City begins the CIP process. The City
8 will use the same process as in the years prior and Commissions will do their work. He asked
9 Councilmembers if there are particular items or themes that should be focused on in the CIP.
10
11 Councilmember Holthus indicated she would like to see a focus on trails.
12
13 Mayor Trude stated she has heard a lot of comments about ice time and girls hockey. Mr.
14 Dickinson said that a discussion on this is already planned.
15
16 Councilmember Goodrich stated he would like to get ahead of the Public Works facility needs.
17
18 Councilmember Bukkila asked if the roof repair is still relevant based on the plans to replace the
19 Public Works facility. Mr. Berkowitz said it is not. He further stated that whatever the City
20 purchases for current needs, work will be done to make sure that it can be used in a new facility.
21
22 Councilmember Goodrich said it is important to make sure that what is in the CIP is good for the
23 whole community, consider if it is a need or want and is it the government's responsibility.
24
25 Mr. Dickinson recalled that Master Plans were important work last year and that work will be
26 brought forward into this year's CIP process. Timing will be looked at and then that will move
27 forward to the long-term performa analysis and tax impacts.
28
29 Mayor Trude noted the City does not own all the land yet for the City Campus Master Plan. Mr.
30 Dickinson stated the property owner still farms and the property is still in a good location for his
31 operation. The final delivery is out until December 2018 and then he might retire, otherwise he
32 needs to find other property for the operation.
33
34 Councilmember Bukkila asked if there were plans to continue the City's informal tree nursery, as
35 it saves the City a significant amount of money. Mr. Berkowitz confirmed that this will be
36 continuing.
37
38 Mr. Dickinson stated the priority coming out of the Master Plan process is Public Works. What
39 is keeping that from moving forward is the property acquisition.
40
41 Councilmember Bukkila brought up the Community Center Expansion in the CIP for 2017. Mr.
42 Dickinson stated it would likely be delayed and confirmed that the YMCA wants to raise their
43 portion by fundraising rather than borrowing.
44
Andover City Council Workshop Meeting
Minutes — March 22, 2016
Page 10
1 Mayor Trude reiterated that right now we are waiting on them.
2
3 Councilmember Bukkila wondered if it would be wise to have Public Works and the YMCA
4 having construction projects going on at the same time.
5
6 Mr. Dickinson stated that in meetings coming up it will need to be discussed further what are the
7 right times for these projects and what are the priorities. There will be a public hearing on the
8 CIP. The City could consider starting some of the work relative to the City Campus Master Plan
9 on the property it owns.
10
11 Councilmember Knight asked if growth could be predicted. Mr. Dickinson stated predictions
12 could be done, but they are always subject to things like significant economic issues.
13
14 Mr. Berkowitz addressed the issues they are seeing with sealcoating. In the last couple of years,
15 the sealcoating that the City has been using is prematurely breaking down on the City's
16 roadways. MnDOT believes that it is related to the density of the pavement and having too many
17 voids that caused the pavement to break down. City engineers do not agree and believe that the
18 industry needs to figure out why this is happening. Mr. Berkowitz believes the industry will get
19 the message loud and clear when cities are not sealcoating roads and volumes drop significantly.
20
21 Councilmember Goodrich asked if the change in the oil is the cause. Mr. Berkowitz stated there
22 is no clear answer.
23
24 Mr. Berkowitz stated there will be a more aggressive overlay program in the meantime and that
25 some roads that have had a sealcoat in the past, the City will keep sealcoating.
26
27 Mr. Berkowitz stated there will be more dollars in the CIP for overlays. He stated there is a big
28 misconception regarding overlays. It does prolong the life of roadways, but it is not a 30 year
29 replacement. If there are currently cracks, the cracks are going to come through again after an
30 overlay. An overlay provides enough additional structure to prolong a roadway's life 10-15
31 years. There will still be crack filling after an overlay. The public will be educated and
32 explanations will be given regarding the cracking. Sealcoating costs are much less than an
33 overlay, so the City will not get as many roads done. It will be a cost shift.
34
35 Mayor Trude pointed out that the City charges developers for the first sealcoat. Mr. Berkowitz
36 confirmed that the charge is for crack sealing and sealcoat and that the City has always done that.
37 In newer areas, the City "crack fills" in a few years and refunds the developer any remainder of
38 their money. The fee will be recalculated going forward.
39
40 Mr. Berkowitz stated bids opened for Timber Trails Park. The plan is for 2 playing fields. Costs
41 were originally estimated at $200,000 for the project. Costs were underestimated and there was
42 a scope change. There is a final plan set now that includes 8 acres to irrigate, and does not
43 include plans to pave the entire parking. The new total cost estimate is $300,000 and includes
44 the paving of a trail. Mr. Berkowitz confirmed the parking lot is a substandard parking lot and
Andover City Council Workshop Meeting
Minutes — March 22, 2016
Page 11
1 will need new gravel. His recommendation is paving the parking lot, but the Park & Recreation
2 Commission wants to build parks, not parking lots. The Commission voted 4 to 2 to go ahead
3 with the project at the higher costs and there are dollars available in the Parks Improvement
4 Fund. The increase cost impacts proceeding with plans for Fox Meadows Park next year.
5
6 Mayor Trude stated irrigation would allow for more extensive use.
7
8 Councilmember Bukkila commented playing fields are being ruined because they are not being
9 rested. Mr. Berkowitz stated the soccer fields are used not only for soccer (referring to Fox
10 Meadows Park), but lacrosse too, as well as football practice. The Council is asked to consider
11 to approve amending the budget and approve the well bid.
12
13 Councilmember Holthus asked if the well bid was part of the $300,000 cost and commented that
14 this project had been "kicked forward" for many years. Mr. Berkowitz confirmed the well is
15 included in the new total cost.
16
17 Councilmember Bukkila expressed her concern that there would be nothing in the budget for the
18 Park & Recreation Commission plans for next year.
19
20 Mayor Trude stated she wanted to see the budget.
21
22 Mr. Dickinson reviewing the Parks Improvement Fund cash flow analysis, stated if funding
23 comes in as planned, they could do Fox Meadows Park next year.
24
25 The consensus of the Councilmembers was to support the recommendation of the Park &
26 Recreation Commission and that a budget amendment should come forward at a regular Council
27 meeting for Council approval.
28
29 Mr. Berkowitz inquired if the Council wanted to pave the parking lot and there was not support
30 for that item.
31
32 In the future, to provide better communication with the Park & Recreation Commission, staff
33 will attend more meetings. During workshops more information will be exchanged to help
34 facilitate more accurate budget estimates. Mr. Dickinson stated there will also be more
35 connection with maintenance by staff attending Commission meetings once per month so there is
36 more direct contact with staff.
37
38 Mr. Berkowitz stated another workshop item will be to break up the city map in 4 sections and
39 the Park & Recreation Commission will look at the trail gaps and extensions and make a
40 recommendation to the Council. That process will start soon. This discussion will help with the
41 Comprehensive Plan development as well because the City needs to update the outdated trail
42 plan.
43
44 Councilmember Knight expressed support for a city-wide trails plan, with many connections

1 from one section to another. Mr. Berkowitz commented the trails are good in the core area and
2 when it gets out further it is not as good.
3
4 Mr. Dickinson stated in the future he would like to propose that the City take over the scheduling
5 of the athletic fields and that it would be a future item for discussion. Mayor Trude stated it is
6 hard for the athletic associations to schedule fairly. Mr. Dickinson responded most cities do
7 coordinate scheduling. Mayor Trude replied she had a good response when she asked
8 community members about the possibility. Mr. Berkowitz said it would become an
9 administrative function.
10
11 DISCUSS 2017 B UDGET DEVELOPMENT GUIDELINES
12
13 Mr. Dickinson stated the guidelines would be the same as last year with the fund balance cash
14 flow requirement going down from 50% to 45%. In May and June discussions will move to the
15 fund balance availability.
16
17 Councilmember Bukkila stated she had received her tax statement and her house was back to the
18 same value as it was 13 years ago when she purchased it. She stated that it is important to keep
19 this in mind. Mr. Dickinson talked about the two state shifts that have happened over time that
20 artificially inflate the city property tax number. There have also been a lot of improvements in
21 the City over the last 10 years.

32 OTHER BUSINESS
33
34 Mr. Dickinson gave a brief summary and update on the efforts around County and City groups
35 proposing changes to the Metropolitan Council. There is not agreement between the resolutions
36 and the proposed bills.
37
38 Councilmember Bukkila stated she has been on the phone trying to "sort things out." with the
39 County Commissioners. She has been asked if the City can provide something showing what the
40 City would support, focusing on something different than the current model proposed by the
41 County.
42
43 Councilmember Goodrich indicated he wanted to support the County that the City works with
44 every day. He proposed the City create a resolution of its own, addressing key issues such as

staggered terms in support of the County Commissioners push for Met Council reform.
Councilmember Knight expressed concern over traditional political appointees by the Governor.
Mayor Trude stated her concern about north metro representation being diluted. She has heard
this concern expressed by other mayors.
Councilmember Goodrich stated he would like to get a feeling from the Council whether this is
something that our staff should take time to draft.
Mr. Dickinson expressed his willingness to craft something in general terms and not backing the
Council into a corner.
Councilmembers expressed agreement around having Mr. Dickinson draft a "vanilla" document
for review including local official representation and will bring it forward to a Council meeting
for review.
Mr. Dickinson reminded the Council about the Kelsey Round Lake Park walk through. The
Council mutually agreed to schedule a walk through for April 14th at 6:00 p.m., this will be
formally set at the next Council meeting. The residents will be notified.
Councilmember Bukkila expressed concern about the Mayor posting a response to a posting on
the City's Facebook page. She requested to discuss whether it was appropriate to take a position,
stating that "likes" and "ata boys" are okay.
Mayor Trude stated she felt it was a matter of free speech to make a comment and that no vote
could take place on something that had already been done. She stated it was a County project.
Councilmember Holthus stated her belief that when she makes comments on a City site she is
representing the City.
Mayor Trude stated she was very unhappy about the tree removal and offered to delete the post.
She disclosed that she had been getting calls and emails at church and from kids in the
community, on her personal Facebook page, and on nextdoor.com. The comments have been
overwhelming and people who live in Anoka have been approaching her too. She apologized for
posting the comment.
Councilmember Holthus stated she has learned to communicate back to others in the same way
they communicate to her.
Councilmember Bukkila indicated her issue is the danger of engaging with the comments on the
City's Facebook page. She expressed that it opens the door to violation of the open meeting law
because if other members of Council want to post, not all can.

Andover City Council Workshop Meeting
Minutes — March 22, 2016
Page 14
Mayor Trude said the tree removal was a County decision and not an item before the Council.
The open meeting law relates to items of discussion before the Council.
Councilmember Bukkila stated she felt it was not appropriate for Councilmembers, as
individuals, to use the City's Facebook page for their personal newsletter.
Mayor Trude stated it was an emotional issue for residents and her as well. She confirmed that
she had removed the Facebook post in question.
Mr. Dickinson reported that he has had calls to the City about the trees that is why the City
provided an informational post on the Facebook page.
Councilmember Holthus asked about a policy for posting on the City's Facebook page. Mr.
Dickinson said that the City had no formal social media policy, but we do have a user policy for
the Facebook page.
Mayor Trude asked if making a comment on Facebook would be considered political use when
expressing she was sad about the removal of the trees.
Councilmember Goodrich questioned whether it was a good idea for Councilmembers to engage
on the City's Facebook page. He questioned if what was posted was good for the City's
relationship with the County.
Mayor Trude recounted a conversation she had with a particular resident related to the tree
removal.
Councilmember Bukkila asked if going forward the Council could find some agreement
regarding weighing in on social media by Councilmembers. Mr. Dickinson stated he would do
some research and see what type of social media policies were out there.
Mayor Trude said she would not share her opinion going forward on the City's Facebook page.
Councilmember Bukkila and Councilmember Holthus expressed their overall concern about the
City being portrayed negatively.
ADJOURNMENT
Motion by Councilmember Knight, Seconded by Councilmember Bukkila, to adjourn. Motion
carried unanimously. The meeting adjourned at 9:48 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,

revision as recommended by staff regarding a proposed designation on the Municipal State Aid
system. The designation recommended by the Public Works Committee is as follows:
• Designation:
156th Lane NW, Hummingbird Street NW and 155th Lane NW from Nightingale
Street NW to Hanson Boulevard NW (Co. Rd. 78).
The designation location map is attached. This segments is approximately 0.54 miles long. The
segment identified between Hanson Boulevard and Nightingale Street meets the State Aid
designation criteria and essentially functions as a collector street. There are limited remaining
options for designation of existing routes within the City.
Note: The City of Andover receives funding from MnDOT for construction and maintenance of
MSAS routes. These routes are designated and approved by the City Council and MnDOT.
Only those segments designated as MSAS can utilize this funding source for maintenance or
improvement projects. Each MSA city is allowed to designate up to twenty percent of their
roadways as MSAS, providing they have connections to County Roads, or other MSAS routes.
The City currently has 42.75 miles designated as MSAS, with an undesignated balance of 0.55
miles. If this excess mileage is not designated, the City will not receive MSA funding for the
remaining 0.55 miles available.

BUDGETIMPACT
Designating the 0.54 miles of excess MSAS route will increase the funding the City receives
annually from MnDOT for MSAS route maintenance and construction. Funding is based upon a
formula including City population, Annual Daily Traffic (ADT) along the route, and length
designated.
ACTION REQUIRED
The City Council is requested to approve the attached resolutions regarding the proposed
revocations and designation.

SUBJECT: Award Bid/16-2,2016 Street Reconstr1, 173`d Lane NW Reconstruction -
Engineering
DATE: April 5, 2016
INTRODUCTION
The City Council is requested to accept bids and award the bid for Projects 16-2, 2016 Street Reconstruction &
16-11, 173`d Lane NW Reconstruction.
DISCUSSION
The street reconstruction program is an effective and cost efficient means of rehabilitating deteriorated roadways.
This program allows the City to maintain a high quality transportation system, while limiting on-going
maintenance costs on the sections of roadway in most need of repair.
The project is to be awarded based upon the lowest responsible total bid. The bid opening was held on Tuesday,
March 29, 2016. Please refer to the attached bid tabulation for a breakdown of bids and unit prices. The three
lowest bids received are as follows:
Contractor Total Bid
North Valley, Inc.
$518,666.64
Hardrives
$528,660.14
Valley Paving
$529,513.46
Engineer's Estimate
$535,072.50
BUDGET IMPACT
Although the projects were bid together the 2016 Street Reconstruction project breakout came in about
5% higher than identified in the feasibility report and 173`d Lane came in under the feasibility report. The
final costs are based on actual quantities in which staff believes that the final assessment amount will be
within the estimated amount that was identified in each feasibility report.
Project 16-02 will be funded from the City's Road & Bridge Fund, with 25% of the total project costs assessed to
the benefiting properties as identified in the City's Roadway Reconstruction Assessment Policy. Project 16-11
will be funded from the City's Road & Bridge Fund (reimbursed through Municipal State Aid Funds), with 25%
of the total project costs for the improvements (based upon a standard street section) assessed to the benefiting
properties as identified in the City's Roadway Reconstruction Assessment Policy.
ACTION REQUIRED
The City Council is requested to approve the resolution accepting bids and awarding the contract to North Valley,
Inc. in the amount of $518,666.64 for Projects 16-2, 2016 Street Reconstruction & 16-11, 173r1 Lane NW

Approve Amended Budget 2016-2020 CIP for Park Improvements -
Engineering
April 5, 2016
INTRODUCTION
The City Council is requested to approve the amended budget to the 2016-2020 CIP for park
improvements.
Attached is the recommended amended budget (Park Improvement Fund) due to higher than
anticipated bids and quotes relating to Timber Trails Park improvements. The irrigation well bid
came in higher than estimated in 2015, other site improvements were underestimated and there
was a change of scope to some improvements after more detail design information was gathered
which all led to estimated higher project costs.
Also attached are the estimated costs for Timber Trails Park improvements based on the
improvements that are being recommended by the Park and Recreation Commission.
ACTION REQUIRED
The City Council is requested to approve the amended budget to the 2016-2020 CIP for park
improvements.

SUBJECT: Ordinance Amendment to City Code Title 4 PUBLIC HEALTH AND SAFETY:
Chapter 3, Section 4-3-13, [Tree Planting] Requirements for Developers; AND
Ordinance Amendments to Citv Code Title 9 BUILDING REGULATIONS:
Chapter 1 - Building Code; Chapter 2 Water -fed Heat Extractors and Air Conditioning
Equipment; Chapter 3 — Minimum Elevations and Standards for Building and Driveway
Construction; Chapter 7 — Commercial Building Construction Standards; and Chapter 10
Residential Landscaping (Lawn) Requirements.
DATE: April 5, 2016
INTRODUCTION
Considered at the Council Workshop on March 22"d, the proposed amendments to City Code Title 9
remove obsolete references to building codes and rules; and also broadly sort out and reformat dity code
sections relating to required improvements, security agreements and sureties for required improvements.
A. Title 4, Chapter 3; and Title 9, Chapters 1, 3, 7 and 10 -- Required Improvements & Security
Agreements -- These proposed amendments to Title 9 sort out and clarify what are considered
"required improvements" for new construction. "Required improvements" to private properties
being developed are appropriately brought together in Title 9 (Building Regulations) from Titles 4
(Public Health and Safety) and 11 (Subdivision Regulations). Specifically for new development,
tree planting requirements are moved from Title 4 and private driveway requirements from Title
11 will be moved into Title 9. Title 9, Chapter 1 is also substantially clarified to remove
redundant, ambiguous language and provide better direction for city acquisition, use and release
or return/refund of the sureties.
B. Title 9, Chapter 1 -- Building Code: Beginning in January of 2015, the Minnesota State
Building Code has been extensively amended and updated including Statute and Rule numbers.
To provide local building code authority and jurisdiction, the Andover City Code must correctly
reference those statutes and rules. For building codes, the update is in a self-perpetuating format
recommended by the Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry. So long as the State does not
change statute numbers, future city code updates for building codes should not be necessary. The
optional provisions of Minnesota State Building Code, Chapter 1306, Special Fire Suppression
Systems, with Option 2 selected will remain in the city code. Those optional code provisions
require installation of automatic fire suppression systems in both existing and new, small, non-
residential buildings.
C. Title 9 Chapter 2 — Water -fed Heat Exchangers and Air Conditioning Equipment: This
Chapter is proposed to be repealed with the exception of place -holder language because it is
superseded by the Minnesota Mechanical Code and the state water resource laws of the Minnesota
Department of Natural Resources and the Minnesota Department of Health.
If Council approves this ordinance amendment, a public hearing will be held at a later date for
amendments to Title 11- SUBDIVISION REGULATIONS to remove private driveway requirements from
the subdivision developers' responsibility, and leaving it to the builders' responsibility under Title 9.
ACTION REQUESTED
To update and clarify building regulations of the City of Andover, staff recommends that the Andover City
Council:
• approve amendment to City Code Title 4 PUBLIC HEALTH AND SAFETY: Chapter 3, Section
4-3-13, [Tree Planting] Requirements for Developers;
approve the proposed amendments to Title 9 BUILDING REGULATIONS, Chapter 1 - Building
Code, Chapter 2 Water -fed Heat Extractors and Air Conditioning Equipment, Chapter 3 —
Minimum Elevations and Standards for Building and Driveway Construction, Chapter 7 —
Commercial Building Construction Standards, and Chapter 10 — Residential Landscaping (Lawn)
Requirements; AND
• approve the Summary Ordinance # providing for amendment of the aforementioned
titles and chapters of the Andover City Code.
BUDGETIMPACT
No budget impacts are expected.

9-7-1: FINDINGS AND PURPOSE: The City Council finds that certain lands
within the city are uniquely suited for commercial and industrial development by
reason of their proximity to major transportation routes, soil type and quality,
adjacent land uses and market value. In order to preserve the general welfare and
safety of the general public, to promote economic growth and employment
opportunity, to promote orderly commercial and industrial growth and to protect and
enhance municipal investment in commercial and industrial park improvements, the
city finds it necessary to implement controls within the lands zoned nonresidential.
(Ord. 249, 12-1-1998; amd. 2003 Code)
9-7-2: SUBMISSION AND REVIEW OF PLANS:
A. Persons making application for a building permit shall submit building
designs along with a commercial building application form to the
Community Development Department. All commercial building applications
shall be reviewed by the Andover Review Committee. All building designs
and site plans shall be colored.
B. All other exterior building items as noted on the site plan such as, but not
limited to, fencing, landscaping, parking, paving, outdoor storage, refuse
containers etc., shall be reviewed and approved by the Andover Review
Committee. (Ord. 249, 12-1-1998)
9-7-3: CONSTRUCTION STANDARDS:
A. Materials Of Construction:
1. All buildings located within a non -residentially zoned district (NB, LB, SC,
GB, I or GR) shall be of masonry construction, its equivalent or better.
Upon approval of the Andover Review Committee, wood frame
construction may be considered equivalent to masonry. (Ord. 249, 12-1-
1998; amd. 2003 Code)
2. Walls of such buildings facing on streets must be finished with face brick,
stone, glass, wood or their aesthetic equivalent. Any building wall facing a
residentially zoned district shall not be finished with exposed plain -faced
poured concrete or concrete block.
B. Building Design: The building design shall exhibit architectural control that
seeks to be creative and maximize building lines, shades, and angles to
maximize architectural uniqueness. (Ord. 249, 12-1-1998)
9-7-4: BUILDING OCCUPANCY PRIOR TO COMPLETION OF REQUIRED
IMPROVEMENTS: As may be determined by the Building Official, when
circumstances do not permit the substantial completion of required improvements for
a commercial building project, the general contractor, builder or owner may apply for
a Certificate of Occupancy and enter into a security agreement with the city and
furnish a surety as provided in Section 9-1-5 of this Title.
9-7-5: NONCONFORMING STRUCTURES AND USES: Except as
otherwise provided by law, any nonconformity, including the lawful use or occupation
of land or premises existing at the time of the adoption of an additional control under
this chapter, may be continued, including through repair, replacement, restoration,
maintenance, or improvement, but not including expansion, unless:
A. The nonconformity or occupancy is discontinued for a period of more than
one year; or
B. Any nonconforming use is destroyed by fire or other peril to the extent of
greater than 50 percent of its estimated market value, as indicated in the
records of the county assessor at the time of damage, and no building permit
has been applied for within 180 days of when the property is damaged. In this
case, a municipality may impose reasonable conditions upon a zoning or
building permit in order to mitigate any newly created impact on adjacent
property or water body. When a nonconforming structure in the shoreland
district with less than 50 percent of the required setback from the water is
destroyed by fire or other peril to greater than 50 percent of its estimated
market value, as indicated in the records of the county assessor at the time of
damage, the structure setback may be increased if practicable and
reasonable conditions are placed upon a zoning or building permit to mitigate
created impacts on the adjacent property or water body.
9-7-6: VIOLATION; PENALTY: Any person violating any provision of this
chapter shall be guilty of a misdemeanor as defined by state law and subject to the
penalties therefore. (Ord. 249, 12-1-1998)

If approved staff will have two signs made and install one at the river and the other sign at the access trail
near the parking lot directing residents to the canoe launch. Once the signs have been made and installed
there will be an unveiling and a dedication of the launch. Staff will coordinate this with the Bradley

Minutes — February 23, 2016

1 Mayor Trude stated she would rather consider Representative Mark Uglem's bill. This resolution
2 has too much County influence. She said she would prefer to support a bill from someone who
3 is working at the local level before being elected to the Legislature.

5 Councilmember Goodrich commented he didn't think this should be approved as presented.
6
7 Mayor Trude said the region should be considered for planning instead of city boundaries. For
8 example, Coon Rapids has public transportation, and Andover doesn't. People from Andover
9 can drive to Coon Rapids to use public transportation. Planning should be a regional concern.
10
11 The Council discussed the proposal, and no consensus was reached.

23 Mr. Dickinson noted there is a request for continuing with a Parks Maintenance Supervisor,

34 Mayor Trude reviewed the policy for naming and re -naming parks. Any Andover resident can
35 make a request. She explained when there was a contest for "Name the Pond", there were a lot
36 of requests to name it after Lyle Bradley, a retired Biology teacher. He has been in the local
37 news, and is well loved. She proposed a small canoe launch within Strootman Park be named
38 after him. She suggested it be called Bradley Launch. She asked that staff take this
39 recommendation to the Park and Recreation Commission for consideration. Mr. Dickinson said
40 after a background investigation is done, and the Park and Recreation Commission has
41 discussed, the item will come back to the ounce or further consideration.

43 Consensus was reached to move this request forward.
44 c
Consider Naming of Canoe Landing - Strootman Park
At the February 23rd City Council workshop the Council agreed to forward to the Parks and
Recreation Commission the potential naming of the canoe launch at Strootman Park. The launch
is proposed to be named : Bradley Launch.
Proposal/Background - (Provided by Mavor Trude)
Name: Bradley Launch
Location: Canoe launch, the portion of Strootman Park separated from the major area of
Strootman park by the city street. This would be a location within the park, now receiving a
designated name and city sign.
Reason: Lyle Bradley was a pilot whose aircraft was launched off aircraft carriers during WWII
in the Pacific. He is a long-term resident of Andover who built his home on the Rum River over
40 years ago, just a few hundred feet south of this location. He should be honored for his long-
term service to our community and to our country.
A few highlights justifying this naming include:
*Residents have sought to have the Bradley name memorialized_ in our city. Six residents
submitted his name for the pond in Andover Station North, noting his service as a teacher and his
service as a veteran in WWII and the Korean Conflict.
*Lyle Bradley's appreciation for nature included getting the Rum River cleaned up. As a pilot he
flew the entire length of the Rum River to determine locations of pollution that
included sewage and garbage being dumped into the river. He led efforts to reduce and remove
the sources of pollution and contaminants. He also organized citizens and students in his efforts
to clean up the river and its banks to restore the river's health. Today, we enjoy a clean Rum
River largely because of his efforts.
*Along the river, he enjoys viewing birds, including his recording of over 200 species from his
home on the river. As a birder, he became interested in aviation. He attributes some of his
success as a war -time pilot in his ability to recognize the distinct silhouettes of aircraft, noting it
is much like noting the silhouettes of birds.
*Bradley is a veteran. He was a Marine pilot during WWII. He flew many successful bombing
missions from aircraft that were "LAUNCHED" off aircraft carriers in the Pacific. That is why
the specific name for this location where residents can now launch a canoe or other watercraft
into his much beloved Rum River, should be called: Bradley Launch.
*Bradley flew missions as a Marine Air Corps Reserve officer during the Korean Conflict,
including one mission that involved flying in dangerous weather, next to a mountain during a
snowstorm. His mission saved the lives of many American soldiers who were in an isolated zone
facing imminent attack by enemy troops who greatly outnumbered them. [Story from Marine
Wings.]
*He was a 35 -year science teacher at Anoka High School, teaching many who now live in our
city. He is married to Carol and together they have raised 5 children in the house they built next
to the Rum River in Andover when it was Grow Township.
WINGS

Flight in birds, insects, and airplanes has fascinated me since my conscious
life started in Dubuque, Iowa, in 1924. At nine my Dad and I flew in a Ford
Trimotor. At 16 came Pearl Harbor. At 18 1 left the University of Dubuque for
Naval Aviation tests in Minnesota.
My first training was at Aberdeen, South Dakota, in Civilian Pilot Training.
Next was Iowa City, Iowa, for preflight fitness, then on to Minneapolis for E -
Base and Stearman biplanes, followed by Pensacola Naval Air Base for BT -13
and SNJ trainers. Wings of Gold were won April 1944. Wildcat fighters (F4Fs)
came next, followed by ourdream airplane, the F4U Corsair. On the west coast
we prepared for combat.
Went to Hawaii for aircraft carrier checkout and then flown to Guam to join
VMF-123 on the USS Bennington (CV 20). Returned from combat in seven
months when the carrier was damaged. After WW II entered Iowa State Univer-
sity in science. In 19501eft graduate school for an aerial crop-sprayingjob. Our
Minnesota reserve recalled me for the Korean War. After a year in Korea with
VMF-214 t spent two years as a flight instructor at NAS Pensacola, Florida.
Carried on civilian work while in the Minnesota Reserve Squadron. Became
a wildlife warden/biologist in Texas and spent 35 years as a science educator
In Anoka, Minnesota. Was a naturalistfor state and national parks in summers,
and president for eight organizations. During this time married Carol, raised
five children, built a house, led over 1,000 fleld trips, discovered dinosaurs,
and traveled to 50 states and 15 countries. Retired as lieutenant colonel with
a few awards in 1967.
My years in the USMCR has energized, expanded, and educated me. I've
met superb friends, experienced laughs and tears, and spent hundreds of
hours flying beautiful airplanes, especially the F4U Corsair.

Please add my name to the support for the naming of "Bradley launch" on the Rum River. I am thrilled that
the city would honor Lyle in this way to recognize his contributions to our city and the wider community he
has served for so many years. As an elected official for the former Grow Township, that became Andover
City, he has earned this recognition. Thank you for your consideration.

Dear Todd,
We are adding our support to the naming of the Strootman Park Canoe Launch for Lyle Bradley. Lyle's history
with Andover goes back to the days of Grow Township. He was on the Board of Supervisors of the
township. He has a passionate love of nature and the Rum River. He passed on this love to hundreds of high
school students during his years as a biology teacher at Anoka High School. There is no one more deserving of
having a public place on the Rum River named for them than Lyle.
Sincerely;

RES. NO.
A RESOLUTION OF SUPPORTING PRINCIPLES FOR REFORM OF THE
METROPOLITIAN COUNCIL GOVERNANCE MODEL
WHEREAS, regional planning and local government cooperation is vital to the
continued success of the Minneapolis -St. Paul Metropolitan Area; and
WHEREAS, the Metropolitan Council is, by statute, the regional planning agency for
the Minneapolis -St. Paul Metropolitan Area, with broad authority, including the ability to levy
taxes, charge fees and set regional policy; and
WHEREAS, cities and counties are the entities most directly affected by policies and
financial decisions of the Metropolitan Council, making them the primary constituents of the
Metropolitan Council; and
WHEREAS, the Metropolitan Council's scope of authority and involvement in
regional issues has expanded significantly over the years; and
WHEREAS, a governmental entity, particularly one with taxing authority, to be
effective, must be credible, and responsive and accountable to those it represents; and
WHEREAS, the appointment of Metropolitan Council members resides solely with
the Governor, effectively making the Governor the primary constituent of the Metropolitan
Council; and
WHEREAS, many cities and counties believe that the Metropolitan Council lacks
accountability and responsiveness to them as direct constituents; and
WHEREAS, many cities and counties believe that the authority to impose taxes and
set regional policy should be the responsibility of local government elected officials; and
WHEREAS, reform is necessary to ensure that the Metropolitan Council is an
effective, responsive, and accountable partner for regional development and progress.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, That the Metropolitan Council, due to
its taxing and policy authority, should be accountable to a regional constituency of those
impacted by its decisions; and

as a state agency answerable to only one person, the Governor, as it does in its current form;

Metropolitan Council that adheres to the following principles:
A majority of the members of the Metropolitan Council shall be elected officials,
appointed from cities and counties within the region;

representatives to the Metropolitan Council;
III. Metropolitan counties shall directly appoint their own representatives to the
Metropolitan Council;
IV. The terms of office for any Metropolitan Council members appointed by the
Governor shall be staggered and not coterminous with the Governor;
V. Membership on the Metropolitan Council shall include representation from every
metropolitan county government;
VI. The Metropolitan Council shall represent the entire region, therefore voting shall
be structured based on population and incorporate a system of checks and
balances.

WHEREAS, the Metropolitan Council (Met Council) has been the regional policy-

Cities region for nearly 50 years;
and
WHEREAS, a seventeen -member board appointed by the Governor guides the

Metro Cities supports the appointment of Metropolitan Council members by the Governor
with four year, staggered terms for members. The appointment of the Metropolitan Council
Chair should coincide with the term of the Governor.
Metro Cities supports a nominating committee process that maximizes participation and input
by local officials. Consideration should be given to the creation of four separate nominating

each committee should include three city officials, appointed by Metro Cities, one county
commissioner appointed by the Association of MN Counties or a comparable entity, and three
citizens appointed by the Governor. At least three of the local officials should be elected
officials.
Metro Cities supports the appointment of Metropolitan Council members who have
demonstrated the ability to work with cities in a collaborative manner and commit to meet

February 8, 2016
Dear Council \{ember.
\\'e are part of a coalition of county and cir: leaders from the suburban metropolitan area who have
become increasingly concerned with a lack of accountability from the Metropolitan Council, especially
as its scope of authority and involvement in regional issues continue to expand. It is our belief that an
updated Metropolitan Council governance structure, one that makes the Council accountable to the
regional consttuency of those impacted by its decisions, would benefit this region greatly. We seek
your support for die attached principles for reform that would increase local participation and
collaboration to help guide orderly growth :md economic development in our region.
We ask that you adopt die attached resolution calling for substantive change to the Council.
Structure Limits Local Representation
Metropolitan Council members are non -elected individuals answerable only to die Governor, an office
that has often been elected widnout majorit support from nnetropolitan-area voters. \C%e believe die
Council, which has die ability to levy tales on metropolitan -area residents, should be answerable to
the citizens and taxpayers of the area it represents rather than a single officeholder and should feature
strong county representation and represeatadon from other local elected officials. This call for reform
echoes the 2011 conclusion of die nonpartisan Office of the Legisladve Auditor. In the evaluadon
report Cw.vntmue a%Trawif is the Ttriu Cities Revinn, Legislative Auditor \obles recommended a Council
with a mix of gubernatorial appointees and elected officials from the region.
Substantial Changes in Role of Council Since 1967
The \letropolitan Council was established in 196- to provide regional planning services for die Twuh
Cities area. However, at the same time die Council's management of growth, and in particular its
coordination of regional services, Inas changed dr.unaricalh-. The Council's scope has increased, but
not its level of accountability to the local governments and citizens of the metropolitan area. \fang
citizens and local government officials feel disconnected from the present \letropolitan Council,
undermining its credibility and preventing it from functioning as an effecdve regional governance
body.
In closing, we hope you w ll join us in our call for reform by adopting the attached resolution With
principles to strengthen regional planning and deyelopmcm. \\'e welcome the opporruiih' to nice[
With you and your colleagues to present this and discuss further. Please contact Claire Pritchard at

Metropolitan Governance Reform
Twin Cities' Local Government Coalition
-Statement of Objectives -
A coalition of local governments throughout the metropolitan area has joined togetherto
develop a position statement and a set of principles for improving metropolitan governance
in the Twin Cities.
The Coalition supports the need for regional planning, collaboration and coordination, but
seeks to expand local government representation on the Metropolitan Council.
The Coalition's objectives for its collective effort to improved governance are:
To articulate a vision of responsive and effective metropolitan governance—as
represented by a Statement of Belief and Principles for Reform of the Metropolitan
Council
i. To align local government interests behind a reform effort—through formation of a
broad coalition of metropolitan Cities and Counties—and a common position.
3. To be prepared for any efforts—legislative and otherwise—to reform the
governance structure and functioning of the Metropolitan Council.
Attached is the Coalition's Statement of Belief and Principles for Reform.
o
Twin Cities' Local Government Coalition
Principles for Metropolitan Council Reform
The following principles were developed by a coalition of cities and counties in the metropolitan area, a
coalition created to advocate for reform of the Metropolitan Council. The group believes that an effective
Metropolitan Council should reflect the following principles, which were developed based on the group's
core Statement of Belief (printed below).
_TATEMENT OF BELIEF:
The Metropolitan Council, due to its taxing and policy authority, should be accountable to a regional
constituency of those impacted by its decisions. It should not operate as a state agency—as it does in
its current form—answerable to only one person, the Governor.
Principles for Metropolitan Council Reform:
I. A majority of the members of the Metropolitan Council shall be elected officials, appointed
from cities and counties within the region.
Il. Metropolitan cities shall directly control the appointment process for city representatives to
the Metropolitan Council.
Ill. Metropolitan counties shall directly appoint their own representatives to the Metropolitan
Council.
IV. The terms of office for any Metropolitan Council members appointed by the Governor shall
be staggered and not coterminous with the Governor.
V. Membership on the Metropolitan Council shall include representation from every
metropolitan county government.
VI. The Metropolitan Council shall represent the entire region, therefore voting shall be
structured based on population and incorporate a system of checks and balances.
2
Background and Justification of Position
The Metropolitan Council was created to provide for the orderly and economic development of the Twin
Cities metropolitan area. It has the responsibility and authority to guide the region's growth and to
provide important regional services. The Counties of Anoka, Carver, Dakota, and Scott support the
concept of a regional approach, and have no wish to abolish the Council or diminish the importance of
regional collaboration.
However, the Council's management of growth, and in particular the coordination and delivery of
regional services has changed dramatically. At the same time, the role of counties has evolved.
Increasingly, Counties have undertaken direct provision of regional services including: hazardous and
solid waste management, transit funding and transitway development, regional parks, regional
highways, water resources planning and watershed management, greenway and bikeway development,
farmland and open space preservation, the regional library system, fiber communications networks, and
the 800 MHz radio network.
The Council's recent focus on reducing poverty and disparities makes it even more essential that within
the governance structure there is understanding and improved coordination with county programs ---
which exclusively provide economic assistance, social services, workforce development/employment,
counseling, public health, nutrition and family "home visiting' services, workforce and specialized
housing programs and many other anti -poverty and human services. In these and many other
circumstances, the State, Metropolitan Council and city governments have all looked to counties to
provide both the financial and political leadership needed to address key regional issues.
Thus, while a strong regional approach is necessary for many issues, it is necessary for the regional
governing body to feature strong county representation, as well as representation from other local
elected officials. Currently, the members of the Council are non -elected individuals answerable only to
the Governor, an office that has often been elected without majority support from metropolitan -area
voters. The Council, which has the ability to levy taxes on metropolitan -area residents, should be
answerable to the citizens and taxpayers of the area it represents ratherthan a single officeholder.
The best way to ensure that the interests of citizens of the metropolitan -area are represented is to
have a preponderance of locally elected officials on the Council --individuals that do not serve
exclusively at the pleasure of the Governor. This will have the added benefit of allowing the Council to
meet federal guidelines to serve as the region's Metropolitan Planning Organization, a move encouraged
by Federal Transit Administration (FTA) and Federal Highway Administration (FHA) to make the Council
"more directly accountable to its publics."
Regional governance is vital to the metropolitan area's continued success. However, in order for a
regional body to be effective it must be credible, meaning that regional citizens must feel that the body
effectively represents their goals and values. Citizens currently feel disconnected from the Metropolitan
Council, preventing it from functioning as an effective regional governance body. The coalition of
suburban counties is working to join the Metropolitan Council with the people it represents, so the
region as a whole can unite for continued growth and prosperity.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS: METROPOLITAN COUNCIL REFORM PRINCIPLES
1} Why now?
Reform of the Metropolitan Council has been an issue on the minds of many local governments
for many years. However, political realities have created obstacles that thwarted many previous
attempts at reform.
The release of ThriveMSP2040 reinvigorated the drive for reform in many cities and counties
who were unhappy with aspects of the plan. However, our call for change is not a reaction to
the specifics of the plan, or to how it allocates resources. Instead, the experience drove home
what little incentive the Council has to take into account the opinions of local governments.
Councilmembers do not answer to the local constituency, but rather to a constituency of one:
the Governor. We realized this was the core problem, and the release of Thrive2040 was the
catalyst that renewed our efforts to build a coalition for governance reform.
2} Who makes up the coalition?
The coalition originated with officials from Anoka, Carver, Dakota, and Scott Counties, who
share a collective opinion that the Metropolitan Council must be more accountable to the
regional constituency. They made the decision to develop principles for reform, and, knowing it
was important to have the perspective of cities represented as well, invited certain city officials
with interest in reform to join the group. The city officials (listed in Attachment A) represent
themselves alone, and do not necessarily represent the views of their entire councils. Together
this group developed amutually-agreed-upon set of principles for reform.
3} You're asking cities to adopt these principles, knowing that they go against the position of
Metro Cities. Doesn't this undermine the work of the Metra Cities organization?
We believe that Metro Cities plays a vital rose in advocating for city interests, and we did invite
them to play a part in the development of the shared principles. However, they ultimately
decided to withdraw from the group due the incompatibility of our positions. We had hoped to
work together toward reform, and we hope to work together in the future if the position of the
organization changes.
However, in the meantime we are aware of many cities with positions on Metropolitan Council
reform that contradict the officio! Metro Cities position, and we believe that those cities should
have theirvoices
heard in the Legislature.

organization changes.
However, in the meantime we are aware of many cities with positions on Metropolitan Council
reform that contradict the officio! Metro Cities position, and we believe that those cities should
have theirvoices
4) What are the next steps?
These draft principles have been distributed to every city and county in the metropolitan area,
and we hope to have as many as possible adopt these principles. We are happy to discuss the
principles, along with our reasons for wanting reform, with any Board or Council in the area.
During the Legislative Session we will present these adopted resolutions to Legislators to
illustrate how important reform is to local governments in the metro -area, and we will work
with Legislators to advance reform proposals that meet the adopted principles.
5) How do other cities do it?
Every other major metropolitan area's regional planning organization (see Attachment B), as
well as every other regional planning organization in Minnesota, is made up of a majority of
local elected officials.
6) Is this an effort to get rid of the Metropolitan Council?
Absolutely not. Regional governance is important, but it would be more effective and credible
with local representation. In the current system, Metropolitan Council members are non-
elected individuals answerable only to the Governor, an office that has often been elected
without majority support from metropolitan -area voters. The Council, which has the ability to
levy taxes on metropolitan -area residents, should be answerable to the citizens and taxpayers of
the area it represents rather than a single officeholder and should feature strong county
representation from local elected officials.
7) Is this a reaction to the ThriveMSP2040 plan?
No. Many cities and counties were unhappy with aspects of the Councirs plan. However, our call
for reform is not a reaction to the specifics of the plan, or to how it allocates resources. Instead,
the experience drove home to many what little incentive the Council has to take into account
the opinions of local governments. The Council does not answer to the local constituency, but
rather to a constituency of one- the Governor. We realized that this was the core problem, and
the release of Thrive204O was the catalyst to renew our efforts to build a coalition for
governance reform.
8) Is there other support for this?
Yes, many other entities and organizations have come out in support for reform. in 2011, for
example, the Office of the Legislative Auditor released a report recommending that the
Metropolitan Council be composed of a majority elected officials, citing the Council's "limited
credibility" due to a governance structure that limits accountability.
2
The City of Minneapolis also passed a resolution on January 14, 2011, asking the Legislature to
reform the Council so that a "majority of council members shall be locally elected city and
county officials."
Furthermore, representatives of the Federal Highway Administration and Federal Transit
Administration, responsible for certifying the Council as eligible to receive federal transportation
and transit funding, have encouraged reform of the Council to make it "more directly
accountable to its public."
9) Would these principles turn the Metropolitan Council into a Council of Governments (COG)?
No. Councils of Governments have little authority beyond transportation planning and regional
coordination of service. The level of authority that the Legislature has granted the Metropolitan
Council, including the authority to levy taxes, Is unique. None of the proposed principles
diminish Council authority in any way, and will not transform the Council into a COG.
10) Do you oppose the Governor?
No. This is not a partisan issue- we would feel the same way whether the Governor was a
Republican or a Democrat. What troubles us is that the entire membership and focus of the
Council can shift depending on who is in power. The Council should represent the interests of
the region, not a single individual.
11) Is this about the suburbs complaining?
No. This is about ensuring that the entire region feels represented by the Metropolitan Council,
12) Is the Met Council accountable to their constituents?
No. Although the Met Council has the power to levy taxes on metropolitan area residents, it is
not accountable to those residents and is instead solely accountable to the Governor, an
individual that over the last five election cycles was only once elected with majority support
from metro -area voters.
3
QUESTIONS ABOUT THE PRINCIPLES THEMSELVES:
13) Aren't local elected officials too busy to serve on the Council?
There is a time commitment to serving on the Council, true, but it is only a part-time
engagement. Many current Metropolitan Council members hold other full-time jobs.
Furthermore, local elected officials serve on the metropolitan planning organizations of every
other large city in the country.
If these principles are enacted it will be part of cities and counties' role to ensure that those
appointed to the Council are comfortable with the time commitment.
14) Isn't it a conflict of interest to ask an official elected by one specific city or county to represent
an entire region?
Local elected officials already serve in many capacities where they must consider regional
Interests. The Council's Transportation Advisory Board, for example, which recommends
allocation of transportation and transit funding throughout the region, is made up of majority of
local elected officials. The Counties Transit Improvement Board and the Metropolitan Mosquito
Control District Board are two other examples where local elected officials serve and represent
the interests of an entire region. Even the structure of County Boards and City Councils requires
local elected officials to represent the interests of the entire city/county, rather than the specific
district that elected them.
15) What happens if a local elected official leaves office in the middle of his/her Metropolitan
Council appointment?
We purposely made these principles high-level. We do not want to get into the details of a
specific plan; that is the job of the Legislature. These issues will be considered as a plan
develops.
16) What about the criticisms of the role of the Council? These principles don't address any of
that.
True, and many of us do have thoughts on the role of the Council. However, we believe that the
first step is to reform the governance of the Council. Once the Council is accountable to its
metropolitan constituency we can consider the role that it should play in the region's future.
17) You mention a system of voting and checks and balances- can you elaborate?
We purposely made these principles high-level. We do not want to get into the details of a
specific plan; that is the job of the Legislature. However, we do believe that the Council should
represent all citizens in the area, without allowing the large urban core to drive all decision
making.

4-A Goals and Principles for Regional Governance
The Twin Cities metropolitan region is home to the majority of our state's population and
businesses and is poised for significant growth in the next two decades. At the same time,
our metropolitan region faces significant challenges and opportunities. The responses to
these opportunities and challenges will determine the future success of the region and its I
competitiveness in our state, national and world economies.
The Metropolitan Council was created to manage the growth of the metropolitan region,
and cities are responsible for adhering to regional plans as they plan for local growth and
service delivery.
r!
The region's cities are the Metropolitan Council's primary constituency, with regional
and local growth being primarily managed through city comprehensive planning and
�I
implementation, and the delivery of a wide range of public services. To function
successfully, the Metropolitan Council must be accountable to and work in collaboration
with city governments. j
The role of the Metropolitan Council is to set broad regional goals and to provide cities
with technical assistance and incentives to achieve those goals. City governments are
responsible and best suited to provide local zoning, land use planning, development and
service delivery. Any additional roles or responsibilities for the Metropolitan Council
should be limited to specific statutory assignments or grants or authorization, and should
not usurp or conflict with local roles or processes, unless such changes have the consent
of the region's cities.
• Metro Cities supports an economically strong and vibrant region, and the
effective, efficient and equitable provision of regional infrastructure, services
and planning throughout the metropolitan area.
Metro Cities supports the provision of approved regional systems and planning
that can be provided more effectively, efficiently or equitably on a regional level
than at the local level by individual local units of government.
• The Metropolitan Council must involve cities in the delivery of regional services
and planning and be responsive to local perspectives of regional issues, and be
required to provide opportunities for city participation on Council advisory
committees and task forces.
2016 Legislative Policies 37
g
Metropolitan Agencies
• The Metropolitan Council must involve cities at all steps of planning, review and
implementation around the regional development guide, policy plans, systems
statements, and local comprehensive plan requirements to ensure transparency,
balance and Council adherence to its core mission and functions. These
processes should allow for stakeholder input before policies and plans are
released for comment and finalized.
4-B Regional Governance Structure \i
Metro Cities supports the appointment of Metropolitan Council members by the
Governor with four year, staggered terms for members. The appointment of the I`
Metropolitan Council Chair should coincide with the term of the Governor.
Metro Cities supports a nominating committee process that maximizes participation
and input by local officials. Consideration should be given to the creation of four
separate nominating committees, with committee representation from each quadrant of
the region. Members of each committee should include three city officials, appointed by
Metro Cities, one county commissioner appointed by the Association of MN Counties or
a comparable entity, and three citizens appointed by the Governor. At least three of the
local officials should be elected officials.
Metro Cities supports the appointment of Metropolitan Council members who have
demonstrated the ability to work with cities in a collaborative manner and commit
to meet with local government officials regularly, and who understand the diversity
and the commonalities of the region, and the long-term implications of regional
decision-making.
4-C Comprehensive Analysis of Metropolitan Council
Our region will continue to expand while simultaneously facing significant challenges
around the effective, efficient and equitable provision of resources and infrastructure,
Metro Cities believes that a comprehensive analysis of the Metropolitan Council is timely
and appropriate, to assure that the region is equipped to address the future needs of a
rapidly changing and growing metropolitan region.
Metro Cities supports an objective, forward thinking analysis of the Metropolitan
Council that includes the Council's authority, activities, services, and its
geographical jurisdiction, and includes analysis of whether tine Council is positioned
to be effective in the coming decades.
4-D Oversight of Metropolitan Council
Metro Cities supports the bipartisan Legislative Commission on Metropolitan
Government, or another entity, to monitor and review the Metropolitan Council's
activities and to provide transparency and accountability of the Metropolitan
38 2016 Legislative Policies
a
Metropolitan Agencies
Council operations and functions.
The Metropolitan Council should examine its scope of services to determine their benefit
and efficiency, and be open to alternative methods of delivery to assure that services are
provided at high levels of effectiveness for the region.
4-E Funding Regional Services
The Metropolitan Council should continue to fund its regional services and activities
through a combination of user fees, property taxes, and state and federal grants. The
Council should set user fees via an open process that includes public notices and public
hearings. User fees should be uniform by type of user and set at a level that supports
effective and efficient public services based on commonly accepted industry standards,
and allows for sufficient reserves to ensure long-term service and fee stability. Fee
proceeds should be used to fund regional services or programs for which they are
collected.
Metro Cities supports the use of property taxes and user fees to fund regional
projects so long as the benefit conferred on the region is proportional to the fee or
tax, and the fee or tax is comparable to the benefit cities receive in return.
4-F Regional Systems
Regional systems are statutorily defined as transportation, aviation, wastewater treatment
and recreational open space. The purpose of these regional systems and the Metropolitan
Council's authority over them is clearly outlined in state statute. In order to alter the
focus or expand the reach of any of these systems, the Metropolitan Council must seek a
statutory change.
The system plans prepared by the Metropolitan Council for the regional systems should
be specific in terms of the size, location and timing of regional investments in order to
allow for consideration in local comprehensive planning. System plans should clearly
state the criteria by which local plans will be judged for consistency and the criteria that
will be used to find that a local plan is more likely than not to have a substantial impact
on or contain a substantial departure from metropolitan system plans.
Additional regional systems should be established only if there is a compelling
metropolitan problem or concern that can best be addressed through the
designation. Common characteristics of the four existing regional systems include public
ownership of the system and its components and an established regional or state funding
source. These characteristics should be present in any new regional system that might be
established. Water supply does not fit these criteria. Any proposed additional regional
system must have an established regional or state funding source.
2016 Legislative Policies 39
Metropolitan Agencies
4-G Regional Water Supply Planning
The 2005 Legislature authorized the Metropolitan Council to carry out regional planning
activities to address the water supply needs of the Metro Area. A Metropolitan Area
Water Supply Advisory Committee that includes state agency representatives and local
officials was concurrently established to assist the Council in developing a master water
supply plan that includes recommendations for clarifying the roles of local, regional and
state governments, streamlining and consolidating approval processes and recommending
future planning and capital investments. The Master Water Supply Plan serves as a
framework for assisting and guiding communities in their water supply planning, without
usurping local decision making processes. Many cities also conduct their own analyses
for use in water supply planning.
The extension of the committee, which includes five metro area municipal officials,
allows the committee to continue to play a key role in the development and direction of
water supply planning activities as the Master Plan is updated and implemented with
additional information and data as they become available.
As the Met Council continues its assessment of the region's water supply and issues
around sustainability,. the Council must work cooperatively with local policymakers and
professional staff throughout the region on an on-going and structured basis, to ensure a
base of information for water supply decision making that is sound, credible and
verifiable, and that takes into account local information, data, cost -benefit analyses and
projections before any resulting policy recommendations are issued.
Metro Cities encourages the Metropolitan Council to consider the inter -relationships of
wastewater treatment, storm water management and water supply. Any state and regional
regulations and processes should be clearly stated in the Water Supply Plan. Further,
regional monitoring and data collection benefits should be borne as shared expenses
between the regional and local units of government.
Metro Cities supports Metropolitan Council planning activities which address
regional water supply needs and water planning activities as prescribed in statute.
Metro Cities opposes the insertion of the Metropolitan Council as another regulator
in the water supply arena. Metro Cities further opposes the elevation of water
supply to "Regional System" status, or the assumption of Met Council control and
management of municipal water supply infrastructure.
Metro Cities supports new laws that expand municipal representation on the water
supply advisory committee, creates a technical advisory committee with municipal
officials, and eliminates the requirement that city comprehensive plans be consistent
with the regional water supply plan. These changes will strengthen input and
collaboration around water supply planning, and help to ensure that sound
scientific analyses and models are developed before legislative solutions to these
issues are considered.
40 2016 Legislative Policies

Metropolitan Agencies
Metro Cities supports efforts to identify capital funding sources to assist with
municipal water supply projects. Any fees or taxes for regional water supply
planning activities must be consistent with activities prescribed in MN Statutes 473.
1565, and support activities specifically within the region.
4-H Review of Local Comprehensive Plans
In reviewing local comprehensive plans and plan amendments, the Metropolitan
Council should:
• Recognize that its role is to review and comment, unless it is found that the local plan
is more likely than not to have a substantial impact on or contain a substantial
departure from one of the four system plans;
• Be aware of the statutory time constraints imposed by the Legislature on plan
amendments and development applications;
• Provide for immediate effectuation of plan amendments that have no potential for
substantial impact on systems plans;
• Require the information needed for the Metropolitan Council to complete its review,
but not prescribe additional content or format beyond that which is required by the
Metropolitan Land Use Planning Act (LUPA);
• Work in a cooperative and timely manner toward the resolution of outstanding issues.
When a city's local comprehensive plan is deemed incompatible with the Met
Council's systems plans, Metro Cities supports a formal appeals process that includes
a peer review. Metro Cities opposes the imposition of sanctions or monetary penalties
when a city's local comprehensive plan is deemed incompatible with the Met
Council's systems plans or the plan fails to meet a statutory deadline when the city
has made legitimate efforts to meet Met Council requirements;
• Work with affected cities and other organizations such as the Pollution Control
Agency, Department of Natural Resources, Department of Health and other
stakeholders to identify common ground and resolve conflicts between respective
goals for flexible residential development and achieving consistency with the
Council's system plans and policies; and
• Require entities, such as private businesses, nonprofits, or local units of government,
among others, whose actions could adversely affect a comprehensive plan, to be
subject to the same qualifications and/or regulations as the city.
2016 Legislative Policies 41
E
Metropolitan Agencies
4-1 Comprehensive Planning Process
Metro Cities supports an examination of the comprehensive planning process to
make sure that the process is streamlined and efficient, so as to assist in alleviating
excessive cost burdens or duplicative or unnecessary planning requirements by
municipalities in the comprehensive planning process. Metro Cities supports
resources to assist cities in meeting regional goals as part of the comprehensive
planning process.
4-J Comprehensive Planning Schedule
Cities are required to submit comprehensive plan updates to the Metropolitan Council
every 10 years, the most recent of which was due in 2008. A city's comprehensive plan
represents a community's vision of how the city should grow and develop or redevelop,
ensure adequate housing, provide essential public infrastructure and services, protect
natural areas and meet other community objectives.
Metro Cities recognizes the merit of aligning comprehensive plan timelines with the
release of census data. However, the comprehensive plan process is expensive, time
consuming and Iabor intensive for cities, and the timing for the submission of
comprehensive plans should not be altered solely to better align with census data. If
sufficient valid reasons exist for the schedule for the next round of comprehensive plans
to be changed or expedited, cities should be provided with financial resources to assist
them in preparing the next round of plans.
Metro Cities opposes cities being forced into a state of perpetual planning as a result
of regional and legislative actions. Should changes be made to the comprehensive
planning schedule, Metro Cities supports financial and other resources to assist
cities in preparing and incorporating policy changes in local planning efforts.
Metro Cities supports a 10 -year time frame for comprehensive plan submissions
4-K Local Zoning Authority
Local governments are responsible for zoning and local officials should have full
authority to approve variances to remain flexible in response to the unique land use needs
of their own community. Local zoning decisions, and the implementation of cities'
comprehensive plans, should not be conditioned upon the approval of the Metropolitan
Council or any other governmental agency.
Metro Cities supports local authority over land use and zoning decisions, and
opposes the creation of non -local appeals boards with the authority to supersede city
zoning decisions.
42 2016 Legislative Policies
Metropolitan Agencies
4-L Regional Growth
The most recent regional population forecasts projects a population of 3,743,000 people
by 2040.
Metro Cities recognizes cities' responsibility to plan for sustainable growth patterns that
integrate transportation, housing, parks, open space and economic development that will
result in a region better equipped to manage population growth, to provide a high quality
of life for a growing and increasingly diverse metropolitan area population and improved
environmental health.
In developing local comprehensive plans to fit within a regional framework, adequate
state and regional financial resources and incentives, and maximum flexibility around
local planning decisions are imperative. The regional framework should assist cities in
managing growth while being responsive to the individual qualities, characteristics and
needs of metropolitan cities, and should encourage sub -regional cooperation and
coordination.
In order to accommodate this growth in a manner that preserves the region's high
quality of life:
• Natural resource protection will have to be balanced with growth and
development/reinvestment;
• Significant new resources will have to be provided for transportation and transit; and
• New households will have to be incorporated into the core cities, first and second -ring
suburbs, and developing cities through both development and redevelopment.
In order for regional and local planning to result in the successful implementation of
regional policies:
• The State of Minnesota must contribute additional financial resources, particularly in
the areas of transportation and transit, reinvestment, affordable housing development,
and the preservation of parks and open space. If funding for regional infrastructure is
not adequate, cities should not be responsible for meeting the growth forecast set
forth by the Metropolitan Council;
• The Metropolitan Council and Legislature must work to pursue levels of state and
federal transportation funding that are adequate to meet identified transportation and
transit needs in the metropolitan area;
• The Metropolitan Council must recognize the limitations of its authority and continue
to work with cities in a collaborative, incentives -based manner;
• The Metropolitan Council must recognize the various needs and capacities of its
many partners, including but not limited to cities, counties, economic development
2076 Legislative Policies 43
Metropolitan Agencies
authorities and nonprofit organizations, and its policies must be balanced and flexible
in their approach;
• Metropolitan counties, adjacent counties and school districts must be brought more
thoroughly into the discussion due to the critical importance of facilities and services
such as county roads and public schools in accommodating forecasted growth; and
Greater recognition must be given to the fact that the "true" metropolitan region
extends beyond the traditional seven -county area and the need to work collaboratively
with adjacent counties in Minnesota and Wisconsin, and the cities within those
counties. The region faces environmental, transportation, and land use issues that
cannot be solved by the seven -county metro area alone. Metro Cities supports an
analysis to determine the impacts of Metropolitan Council's growth management
policies and infrastructure investments on the growth and development of the collar
counties, and the impacts of growth in the collar counties on the metropolitan area.
4-M Natural Resource Protection
Metro Cities supports the Metropolitan Council's efforts to compile and maintain
an inventory and assessment of regionally significant natural resources for the
purpose of providing local communities with additional information and technical
assistance. The state and region play significant roles in the protection of natural
resources. Any steps taken by the state or Metropolitan Council regarding the protection
of natural resources must recognize that;
The protection of natural resources is significant to a multi -county area that is home
to more than 50 percent of the state's population and a travel destination for many
more. Given the limited availability of resources and the artificial nature of the
metropolitan area's borders, neither the region nor individual metropolitan
communities would be well served by assuming primary responsibility for financing
and protecting these resources;
• The completion of local Natural Resource Inventories and Assessments (NRJ/A) is
not a regional system nor is it a required component of local comprehensive plans
under the Metropolitan Land Use Planning Act;
• The protection of natural resources should be balanced with the need to accommodate
growth and development, reinvest in established communities, encourage more
affordable housing and provide transportation and transit connections; and
• Decisions about the zoning or land use designations, either within or outside a public
park, nature preserve or other protected area are, and should remain, the responsibility
of local units of government.
Metro Cities supports the Metropolitan Council's efforts to compile and maintain
an inventory and assessment of regionally significant natural resources for the
44 2016 Legislative Policies
i
Metropolitan Agencies
purpose of providing local communities with additional information and technical
assistance.
The Metropolitan Council's role with respect to climate change, as identified in the 2040
regional development guide, should be focused on the stewardship of its internal
operations (wastewater, transit) and working collaboratively with local governments to
provide information, best practices, technical assistance and incentives around responses
to climate change.
Metro Cities urges the Legislature and/or the Metropolitan Council to provide financial
assistance for the preservation of regionally significant natural resources.
4-N Inflow and Infiltration (1/1)
The Metropolitan Council has identified nearly half of all sewered communities in the
metropolitan region to be contributing excessive inflow and infiltration into the regional
wastewater system. Inflow and infiltration are terms for the ways that clear water (ground
and storm) makes its way into sanitary sewer pipes and gets treated, unnecessarily, at
regional wastewater plants. The number of identified communities is subject to change,
depending on rain events, and any city in the metropolitan area can be affected. Another
19 cities have been identified as being near the threshold, or at risk, for contributing
excessive Yl into the system.
The Metropolitan Council establishes a surcharge on cities determined to be contributing
unacceptable amounts of III into the wastewater system. The charge is waived when cities
meet certain parameters through local mitigation efforts.
Metro Cities recognizes the importance of controlling I/1 because of its potential
environmental and public health impacts, because it affects the size, and therefore the
cost, of wastewater treatment systems and because excessive I/I in one city can affect
development capacity of another. However, there is the potential for cities to incur
increasingly exorbitant costs in their ongoing efforts to mitigate excessive UI.
Metro Cities continues to monitor the surcharge program and supports continued reviews
of the methodology used to measure excess I/I to ensure that the methodology
appropriately normalizes for precipitation variability and the Council's work with cities
on community specific issues around M.
Metro Cities supports state financial assistance for Metro Area M mitigation
through future Clean Water Legacy Act appropriations or similar Iegislation and
encourages the Metropolitan Council to partner in support of such appropriations.
Metro Cities supports continued state capital assistance to provide grants to metro
area cities for the purpose of mitigating inflow and infiltration problems into
municipal wastewater collection systems.
2016 Legislative Policies 45
NO,
Metropolitan Agencies
4-0 Service Availability Charge (SAC)
Metro Cities supports a SAC program that emphasizes equity, transparency,
simplification and lower rates.
Metro Cities supports a "growth pays for growth" approach to SAC as
recommended by a 2010 Task Force of Met Council members and city officials, and
that was subsequently adopted by the Met Council. This approach requires a
statutory change. If state statutes are modified to effect a "growth pays for growth"
method for SAC, the Metropolitan Council should convene a group of local officials
to identify any technical changes necessary for implementing the new structure.
Metro Cities supports allowing the Council to utilize the SAC `transfer' mechanism
provided for in state statute, when the SAC reserve fund is inadequate to meet debt
service obligations. Any use of the transfer mechanism must be done so within
parameters prescribed by state law and with appropriate notification and processes to
allow Iocal official input and should include a timely `shift back' of any transferred funds
from the wastewater fund to the SAC reserve fund.
Metro Cities supports principles for SAC recommended by a 2014 work group that
examined the overall SAC program and structure. These include support for
program transparency and simplicity, equity for all served communities and
between current and future users, support for cities' sewer fee capacities,
administrative reasonableness, and weighing any program uses for specific goals
with the impacts to the program's equity, transparency and simplicity. As such,
Metro Cities opposes the use of the SAC mechanism to subsidize particular
Metropolitan Council goals and objectives.
Metro Cities supports the Metropolitan Council providing details on how any
changes to the SAC rate are determined. Metro Cities supports a periodic review of
MCES' customer service policies, to ensure that its processes are responsive and
transparent to communities, businesses and residents. Metro Cities supports
continued outreach by MCES to users of the SAC program to promote knowledge
and understanding of SAC charges and policies.
4-P Funding Regional Parks & Open Space
In the seven -county metropolitan area, regional parks essentially serve as state parks, and
the state should continue to provide capital funding for the acquisition, development and
improvement of these parks, State funding apart from Legacy funds should equal 40
percent of the operating budget for regional parks. Legacy funds for parks and trails
should be balanced between metro and greater Minnesota.
46 2016 Legislative Policies
Metropolitan Agencies
4-Q Livable Communities
The Livable Communities Act (LCA), administered by the Metropolitan Council,
provides a voluntary, incentive -based approach to affordable housing development, tax
base revitalization, job growth and preservation, brown field clean up and mixed-use,
transit -friendly development and redevelopment. Metro Cities strongly supports the
continuation of this approach, which has been widely accepted and is fully utilized by
local communities. Since its inception in 1995, the LCA program has generated billions
of dollars of private and public investment, created thousands of jobs and added
thousands of affordable housing units in the region.
Metro Cities supports a review of the LCA programs, and any necessary statutory
changes, to ensure that the LCA program criteria are flexible and promote the
participation of all participating communities, and to ensure that all metropolitan
area cities are eligible to participate in the Livable Communities Demonstration
Account (LCDA).
Metro Cities supports increased funding and flexible eligibility requirements in the
LCDA in order to assist communities with development that may not be exclusively
market driven or market proven in their particular location and in order to support
important development and redevelopment goals.
Metro Cities supports the statutory goals and criteria established for the Livable
Communities Act, and opposes any changes to LCA programs that constrain
flexibility around statutory goals, program requirements and criteria.
Metro Cities opposes funding reductions to the Livable Communities Program and
the transfer or use of these funds for purposes outside of the LCA program.
Metro Cities supports statutory modifications in the LCDA to reflect the linkages
among the goals, municipal objectives, and Met Council system objectives.
Metro Cities supports the use of LCA funds for projects in transit improvement
areas, as defined in statute, as long as funding levels for general LCA programs are
adequate to meet program goals and the program remains accessible to
participating communities.
Use of interest earnings from LCA funds should be limited to covering the costs of
administering the program. Remaining interest earnings not used for program
administration should be considered part of the LCA funds and used to fund grant
requests from the established LCA accounts, according to established funding criteria.
4-R Density
Any Met Council density policy and density determination must take into account the
impacts of market trends on city development and redevelopment activities.
2016 Legislative Policies 47
Metropolitan Agencies
Metro Cities supports a reasonable Met Council density policy and density
determination that bases density projections on local data, actual development
patterns, is flexible and accommodates cities at various development stages.

Subject: Four Counties' Metro Governance Proposal - Metro Cities Policy Position
Good afternoon:
Representatives from Dakota, Carver, Scott, and Anoka counties have sent a request to metro area city officials
seeking support for their proposal to restructure the governance of the Metropolitan Council to one made up of
county and city officials. Metro Cities has received requests by city officials for clarification of our policy
positions on this topic. I am sending this communication so that you have an understanding of Metro Cities'
policy positions and how they were generated, and Metro Cities' perspective on the four counties' proposal.
Metro Cities supports the current statutory appointment process for the appointment of Metropolitan Council
members by the Governor, and in contrast with current law, supports staggered terms and modifications to the
selection process for Metropolitan Council members to more fully involve local officials in the selection
process. Metro Cities has initiated and continues to support these legislative changes. Such changes would
enhance the governance of the Council by providing more local official input into member selection and
stabilize ideological shifts in Council membership, These are pragmatic changes that could reasonably be
accepted by the Governor and Legislature.
On the surface, the proposal by Dakota, Anoka, Scott and Carver county officials, to have the Metropolitan
Council made up of local officials, would appear to be a solution to the tensions that exist between a regional
level of government and local governments in the metro area. However, a 2011 Metro Cities Governance Task
Force identified several problematic implications for this structure and did not recommend this model of
metropolitan governance. Metro Cities subsequently has not recommended this model in its positions on the
governance of the Metropolitan Council.
Task force members identified several concerns, primarily related to the incompatibility of holding the offices
of local official and Metropolitan Council member. Concerns centered on:
• Local officials who are elected in one community and are appointed to serve other communities through
Metropolitan Council membership could face actual conflicts of interest or the appearance of conflicts in
determining regional investments, funding and policy.
• Local officials would be serving and voting on two political subdivisions, generally considered to be
incompatible functions.
• The Metropolitan Council could become overly parochial and politicized, which could hamper regional
planning, and service delivery effectiveness and efficiency.
• Appointments to the Metropolitan Council could potentially be geographically imbalanced.
• There could be an infusion of special interests and political campaigns into the selection process for
Metropolitan Council members.
• Local officials would serve as both the "regulator" and `regulated" party, which are generally
considered to be incompatible roles.
• This governance structure could result in less scope of expertise on regional issues on the Metropolitan
Council.
0 A Metropolitan Council with this structure could be more resistant to legislative oversight.
The 2011 Task Force also identified a concern about the impracticality of having sitting city officials serve as
Metropolitan Council members. Unlike county commissioners, most city officials are not full time mayors or
city council members. The Task Force concluded that the practical result could be to narrow the pool of
potential candidates from which to draw future Metropolitan Council members.
Metro Cities' policies do align with the counties' proposal in support of staggered terms for Metropolitan
Council members. Staggered terms would confer significant benefits for regional governance, providing more
knowledge continuity on the Council, more political and philosophical diversity, and fewer possibilities for
narrow policy agendas to emerge from the Metropolitan Council.
Metro Cities' governance policies on the Metropolitan Council recognize the importance of a separate regional
government, more input by local officials into the selection process for Metropolitan Council members,
staggered terms, and a high and consistent level of collaboration and engagement between local governments.
Metro Cities, through its representation of metro cities' shared interests, works to ensure that city needs are
accounted for all Council functions and planning, and for local officials to have adequate input and
opportunities to contribute their expertise and perspectives on regional issues.
Please let me know if you would further information or if you would like to discuss these issues. 1 canbe
