Councilmembers present: Mike Knight, Sheri Bukkila, Valerie Holthus and James Goodrich Councilmember absent: None Also present: City Administrator, Jim Dickinson Director of Public Works/City Engineer, David Berkowitz City Attorney, Scott Baumgartner Others PLEDGE OFALLEGIANCE RESIDENT FORUM No one wished to address the Council. AGENDA APPROVAL The agenda was adjusted to move up the remarks made by the elected officials in attendance to the beginning of the meeting so they could also attend the Coon Rapids City Council meeting. Motion by Bukkila, Seconded by Knight, to approve the Agenda as amended above. Motion carried unanimously. STATE OF MINNESOTA ELECTED OFFICIALS State Representative Peggy Scott expressed her appreciation for the great tum out at the Caucus. She reminded folks that the Legislative Session starts next week on Tuesday and that the focus of the session will be on the tax bill and the transportation bill which are both in Conference Committee and have passed the House of Representatives. The House transportation bill would provide for the Road and Bridge funding needs without raising taxes. She also expressed support for middle class tax cuts. Minnesota is one of few states that has a state-wide business property tax, which makes us an outlier with our neighbors, and this tax also rolls over into cabins. This could prohibit a family member from being able to be "handed -down" a family cabin due to a large annual tax assessment for even a primitive property. She would propose that the State wide business tax be phased out over Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes — March 2, 2016 Page 2 several years, and take into consideration smaller businesses, smaller footprints, and smaller revenue. She would also be looking for Metropolitan Council governance reform in the upcoming session. There will likely be a bonding project for the cleanup of the small portion of the landfill site in Andover that is considered hazardous. There will be work this session to get that into the bonding bill. In summary, Representative Scott said that these are the items for the upcoming session that immediately relate to the City. Councilmember Bukkila asked what could be done about the cattails on Round Lake. Representative Scott stated that she is checking to see if a bill would be needed to provide a permit. She has also been contacted by residents of other cities wanting cattails to be classified as an invasive species so a permit would not be required in the form of a bill. Councilmember Bukkila said she heard that in Loring Park, in Minneapolis, they are trying to eradicate cattails while they are still frozen. Mayor Trude commented that in Kelsey Round Lake Park they have found that the cattail roots are very deep and there was a permit granted to remove some of them. Representative Scott said that the cattails have actually shrunk the usable portion of the lake. Councilmember Knight asked for clarification as to what is happening with the Metropolitan Council. Representative Scott referred the question to the Anoka County Commissioners in attendance. Senator Jim Abeler stated that he has been in office for nine days now and appreciates the great opportunity to serve the residents of Andover. He is working to schedule a meeting with the DNR on the issue of cattails and will be working in conjunction with Representative Scott. He recognizes how cattails have reduced the size of the City's lakes and the issue that the City has with hazardous waste. He expressed that Minnesota is an inclusive and open state with good open meeting laws. He directed residents to the Senate offices on the main level of the office building and encouraged citizens to come down and engage in the government process because it belongs to everyone. He continued by stating that good government is when people engage, even in a small way. When a citizen calls he knows that it is important, especially when something is not happening at an office that needs to happen. Senator Abeler reminded residents that elected officials are there to help solve a problem and that is what they want to do. Mayor Trude asked Senator Abeler if he knew what committees he had been assigned to. Senator Abeler indicated that he is waiting for a memo on his committee assignments. Mr. Dickinson referred to the bonding bill and ongoing support needed for Highway 10, as it is very important to the City of Andover because it is a main source of transportation for City residents to get to and from work. ® Mayor Trude also commented that many City residents are commuters, getting to work via Highway 10 and also via Highway 65 for which a coalition has been formed. The City's current housing developments on the eastern side of the City us Highway 65. © Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes — March 2, 2016 Page 3 Senator Abeler expressed his interest in working on Highway 10 funding and the concerns about train crossings in Ramsey and Coon Rapids. He referred to Highway 10 as the "project that keeps on giving." Mayor Trude referenced concerns regarding the diversion of traffic into Andover because of the bottlenecks on Highway 10 going north. Senator Michelle Benson thanked the Council for the invitation to the meeting and expressed her appreciation for the work done by Councilmembers to keep informed. Senator Benson indicated that she is carrying the Columbus bridge funding in the bonding bill, noting that special projects tend to get "flipped" in, but her focus would be on core things, good community supports, and good ways to use taxpayer dollars. She stated that the budget surplus is not as big as originally projected, about $900 million, and her opinion is that the surplus should go back to the tax payers since the economy is heading towards a recession. Her concern is that it would not be one-time spending, but rather programs would be expanded and create a bigger tax burden long-term. Her belief is that the money belongs to the people that sent it there. Senator Benson noted that the price of gas went from $1.45 to $2.00/gallon and it is difficult when the gas prices go up because citizens have a little less in their pockets each month. She detailed some of the committees she sits on and stated she is committed to the City's concerns about the removal of cattails, and encouraged Councilmembers to contact her with their concerns. ® Councilmember Goodrich stated that he liked the philosophy of sending the budget surplus back to the people that sent it there and thanked Senator Benson for her service. Senator Benson expressed concerns about the eligibility audit that was done related to Medical Assistance, with over $153 million dollars being misappropriated in 5 months. She is currently working on determining how an internal audit could be done or having the State contract with an audit firm and then defining internal controls to remedy the problem. She concluded by saying that this is a situation where the work simply just needs to get done and more statutes are not needed. Mayor Trude inquired about the medical sales tax and if there had been more talk about that in the legislature. Senator Benson stated that it had been repealed in 2011 and would be gone in 2019. Councilmember Bukkila stated that she appreciated how Senator Benson and the other legislators have made themselves available on several occasions, have been very helpful, and are an asset to the community. Senator Benson indicated that Councilmembers reciprocate and give solid practical advice to her on matters related to the City and reiterated her desire to stay in touch on issues related to the City. Mayor Trude expressed appreciation for how Senator Benson has conducted research and worked to solve issues like a business person. Senator Benson replied that she appreciated their comments. QRepresentative Tom Hackbarth thanked the Councilmembers for inviting the legislators to the meeting, stating that he represents the northeast corner of Andover. He stated that there have been a number of hunting and fishing issues on Mille Lacs Lake and reiterated that it is a bonding year and Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes — March 2, 2016 Page 4 not a budget year. He speculated that the tax bill and transportation bill may work against the bonding bill and noted that the session is starting late and that all bills must be done by the beginning of April. He stated that the Senate has now moved into the new office building and the House is done except there is still no running water or working bathrooms in the Capital Building. He also expressed concern that the bonding bill will get tied up in politics. A big priority for Representative Hackbarth is the bridge project in Columbus, as this is a critical need with that bridge in a dangerous condition. Mayor Trude indicated that the Highway 65 coalition is just getting off the ground and its importance to commerce and commuters in the area. Councilmember Holthus thanked Representative Hackbarth for his openness for people to stop by his offices with groups. Representative Hackbarth reiterated that they want folks to come and visit and stated the difficulties of giving tours because of the construction at the Capital. ANOKA COUNTY COMMISSIONERS © Commissioner Julie Braastad expressed her appreciation for the invitation to come to the Council meeting. She stated that County budgets were reduced and that had a good impact on budgeting, she also specifically noted the cost shifts from the State to the County on Human Service programs with mandated services for vulnerable adults, the disabled, and those with mental illness. She illustrated that when the beds are at a maximum at Mercy Hospital patients are moved to the Anoka facility, 100% of the costs fall on the County at the rate of $1,300/day. This is a huge budgeting challenge as to how much to set aside. Meetings have been held with senators and representatives, representing the County, asking for help in these areas. Commissioner Braastad stated she has sat on the Highway 65 coalition for 3 years and expressed that the group seems to be reenergized, with more cities involved, including Ham Lake and Isanti. As part of the work there will be discussions with MNDOT about plans to re -scope the highway and making it more of an expressway. She also announced that volunteers are set up to help seniors with their property tax refunds on May 5`" from 9 a.m. — noon. These services benefit many. Commissioner Braastad confirmed that Commissioner Gamache is now on the Library Board and she is the alternate. Mr. Dickinson brought the property tax refund and homestead credit to the forefront. Both are income restricted and the information is filed out in conjunction with an individual's property tax refund. He stated that many residents are often pleasantly surprised at the result, particularly with the homestead credit. ® Commissioner Scott Schulte introduced himself by saying that he is the Transportation Chair for the County Board and that he is on 19 committees. He stated that he has worked closely with the City on the Bunker Lake Boulevard two-year project and that he is striving to get the County working better with the City. The Ham Lake portion is scheduled for 2017. He highlighted the tree clearing will be © Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes — March 2, 2016 Page 5 done while it is still cold out. He also spoke to the smart traffic system that will finally be in place in Anoka County that works on a computer algorithm. It will be installed on Bunker Lake, Round Lake, and Hanson Boulevards, and County Road 7. Millions and millions of dollars are being spent on this effort. Mayor Trude mentioned the traffic challenge of hitting every light on every block. Commissioner Schulte confirmed it is a county wide program, so in 2-3 years the whole County will be on the new program. Retro -fitting of traffic signals will happen in Andover this year. Yellow flashing left arrows will be added at intersections where signals have to be replaced. There will be new signs installed on County Road 18 from Bunker Lake Boulevard to Andover Boulevard. Night time specifications will be implemented on signs. Currently there is an inventory going on in Andover on night-time reflectiveness of signage. Upcoming there will be 22 county road sections of road crack/sealed covering about 28 miles. Tree clearing will be happening on County Roadl 16. Some culvert repairs will also be happening in the spring. Hanson Boulevard going north will be expanded and improved from 139`h Avenue to Crosstown Boulevard in 2019. A grant application is being submitted to improve and expand Crosstown Boulevard from Andover Boulevard to Hanson Boulevard. Mayor Trude commented that with 5,000 students in the area trails are important and would be 10 helpful in that area. It was noted the 2040 transportation plan is being put together and due in late 2018. Commissioner Schulte will continue to work with staff to make sure Andover's needs are in the transportation plan. Mayor Trude requested that Commissioner Schulte work with staff to discuss how to accommodate 8,000 additional cars a day on Hanson Boulevard, during Bunker Lake Boulevard construction, to figure out the detour routes and add capacity, noting there is already a high volume in that section of the City. Commissioner Schulte confirmed that his staff would work closely with the City staff. Councilmember Knight asked if there would be more roundabouts. Commissioner Schulte confirmed that there would be more roundabouts constructed and that a lot of research had been done. There are two roundabouts in St. Francis and they were constructed to be big enough for garbage trucks and school buses. Councilmember Holthus noted the traffic back up near the high school near Lake George in St. Francis. Mayor Trude asked if there was a consideration for tunnels for pedestrians. Commissioner Schulte stated they know that high schoolers do not use bridges or tunnels and tend to jump over fences. ® Commissioner Schulte addressed potential Metropolitan Council reform. Currently, the Governor is the only constituent of the Metropolitan Council and he therefore answers to the public, City and County elected officials. A group that has been meeting for 2 years believes Met Council member's terms should be staggered, and while in other city regions throughout the County, officials are Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes — March 2, 2016 Page 6 elected, in Minnesota they are appointed. They would like to look at each county appointing one official and are looking for the support of the cities and the counties on basic principles of reform. Nothing would be able to implemented until the current governor is out of office. Mayor Trude noted that the Metropolitan Council has had a huge impact in her community and stated that where "the rubber meets the road" is sewers. She stated a concern that many county officials are not familiar with city planning issues. Commissioner Schulte replied that at the core is the belief that cities are the closest to the people and that there should be staggered terms. There have been 12 cities involved with the meetings and they are working on city sponsored resolutions. Commissioner Schulte shared that he met with the Governor's Chief of Staff, and others, as the Governor was unavailable, and that there is no solution yet but they know there is a problem. The Governor's office is focused on transportation and taxes this session. He believes that the Governor is receptive to Metropolitan Council reform. Mayor Trude expressed worry over projects going through the Metropolitan Council when developing the community, with the Metropolitan Council wanting more density. Commissioner 10 Schulte said he believes that banding together is the way to go. Mayor Trude stated that she cannot get an email reply back from Met Council members and this is very important work for the community. Commissioner Gamache, the former Andover Mayor, stated that it is great to be back to talk to the City Council about committees and issues including transportation and that he was excited to be reminded about the tunnel into the Bunker Hills Park. On the Library Board, they have not been talking about new construction, but what can we do with what we have like more "Library on the Go." Mayor Trude stated that more lockers had been requested at the Andover Community Center and that students like going to the Rum River Library, but they need a ride to go there. Commissioner Gamache is part of the Parks Committee and they are working on the Wargo Nature Center in conjunction with graduate design students at the University of Minnesota to develop stations as a part of the Heritage Lab, with places for the kids to sit and learn along the way. It is all being done with donations and grant money. He continued by stating that the camp sites at Bunker Hills Park are already booked up for the year. He is also on the Human Service Committee and they will be addressing the MNSure issues that came to light from the legislative auditor. There will need to be work done to make sure individuals qualify, more people will be hired and the state will ® provide some money. The MNSure system itself is causing much of the problems. He would welcome ideas of what is wanted in the library system and he was able to make his first board appointment. Commissioner Gamache would like to hear from families with younger children going to libraries, to learn where the future is going to be. He also expressed his concerns about, and ® Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes — March 2, 2016 Page 7 support for, changes in the Metropolitan Council with counties and cities coming together and having a bi-partisan solution. Mayor Trude said she has heard that some want no local elected officials on the Metropolitan Council, but everyone comes from someplace. Councilmember Bukkila asked about elected officials participating. Commissioner Gamache stated that there is not a complete plan in place yet, but there is agreement that the representation needs to change. There are different proposals. Commissioner Schulte stated that the basic principle is to have county and city involvement and the governor has to be involved. Councilmember Bukkila wondered if the group might become too big to function, so it needs to be functional and it would need to not become too political in the putting forward of names so there would be equal representation. Commissioner Schulte confirmed that the Metropolitan Council currently has 17 members. ® Councilmember Knight acknowledged that a lot of the Met Council appointments are political favors. Mayor Trude commented that it is the staff that really does all of the work. Commissioner Schulte stated that it should be the elected people making these decisions as they are accountable to the tax payers in the community. Councilmember Bukkila asked what legislative mechanism controls the Metropolitan Council. Commissioner Schulte restated that the Metropolitan Council is only accountable to the Governor. Mayor Trude indicated that the City's State Legislators should look at this issue. Commissioner Schulte said that the State Auditor pointed out areas needing reform in 2011. This is the group that affects local elected officials the most. Commissioner Gamache congratulated former Parks Maintenance Supervisor Kevin Starr on his retirement stating that he was a great asset to the City and wishing the City good luck on a new hire. CROOKED LAKE AREA ASSOCIATION A brief presentation was given by Dan Anderson, representing the Crooked Lake Area Association, which recapped the activities of the past year and plans looking forward. © Mr. Anderson thanked the Council for the opportunity to present at the meeting. He stated that the Crooked Lake Area Association is a nonprofit organization that works with the cities, the DNR and the Coon Creek Watershed District as an advocate on behalf of the Lake. He thanked Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes — March 2, 2016 Page 8 the Council for its support in the milfoil treatment of the lake and the issue of water quality. Mr. Anderson distributed copies of the organization's newsletter. One of the main issues that the Association is concerned with is the invasive species, Eurasian milfoil, which is a big issue in local lakes. It cannot be eliminated, but it is believed that it can be limited in some scope or fashion. He stated that the DNR allows treatment through a permitting process from 15% to 35%. A small portion is treated and then you have to wait years and then the milfoil has taken over again. Costs have gone up and they require surveys both before and after treatment. The survey determines what is native and what is taking over, what has died off and has come back. Mr. Anderson stated he appreciates that 40% of the costs is paid by the City. Costs are also going up for surveys and studies, and there is concern that the milfoil has become hybridized. This is bad because it becomes resistant to treatment and then may require using a higher concentration over a longer period of time, but that is unknown at this time. This issue is happening in lakes all over the state. The Association is committed to keeping the quality of the lake and wants to keep the lake viable for fishing and recreation. Councilmember Knight congratulated the group for the effort being made. Mayor Trude expressed her appreciation for the strong citizen group and the education and for the contributions to the community.

(North Suburban Home Improvement Show) Mr. Dickinson wanted to remind residents to attend the North Suburban Home Improvement Show on March 12'h from 9:00 a.m. — 3:00 p.m. at the Andover Community Center. It is a collaborative effort between Anoka, Coon Rapids and Andover. (School District) Mr. Dickinson has been working on ongoing issues within the City and the School District including: Youth First, the City's Master Plan, potential bond referendum, as well as garnering information from them on potential future use of a building. (Hazardous Waste Site) Mr. Dickinson indicated that one-third of an acre (of the 120 acre WDE site) is a hazardous waste pit and contains some "very nasty items." It has been dealt with in as many ways as is possible to date and is now ready for safe extraction. The City has met with the MPGA. A bonding proposal is currently included in the Governor's bill, it was not submitted by the City, but rather the Pollution Control Agency. If the funding is approved staff will make plans for appropriate communication within the community and all measures will be taken to remove the hazardous materials safely. (Presidential Candidate) Mr. Dickinson stated that he was encouraged over the coordinated efforts that took place within just two days to successfully host presidential candidate Marco Rubio at the Courtyards of Andover. The event went off "without a hitch." He noted that the Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes — March 2, 2016 Page 10 Fire Marshal had to close the doors and not admit any other attendees, at one point, because the facility had reached capacity. Parking was also at capacity. (Tree Removal) Mr. Berkowitz stated that tree removal on Bunker Lake Boulevard is scheduled to occur starting March 11 th or 14th and will need to be done by April Vt. Trees with pink paint will be removed. (Flashing Yellow Lights) Mr. Berkowitz explained that traffic lights are being evaluated for flashing yellow lights, to see if it meets the criteria. Sight lines will be considered, so it will not happen at every signal, even if it is evaluated. (Pot holes, Street Sweeping & Flushing Water Lines) Mr. Berkowitz requested that citizens call City Hall to report pot holes. If it is a County road, please contact the County. In addition, he added that street sweeping starts the week of March 7th. The water lines will be flushed through the fire hydrants starting in April. Mayor Trude recommended the information such as tree removal be on the City's Facebook page or website. Mayor Trude also mentioned an April sign up for the Mayor's water challenge to win free landscaping for the City. She would like to see upgraded landscaping on Hanson Boulevard from south to north. Councilmember Bukkila mentioned concerns about the light at Main Street by Lowes and at Crosstown Boulevard and Bunker Lake Boulevard where the lights have recently become extremely short, even at 4 a.m., and a driver is unable to get a signal as soon as has been typical. Crooked Lake Boulevard going northbound into the City is also problematic, with the light only letting four cars through each time. Mr. Berkowitz confirmed that he will talk to the appropriate traffic control staff. (Tony Emmerich) Mr. Dickinson stated that he wanted to notify the public that the City had lost an active long-time community member, Tony Emmerich. Mr. Emmerich was very active in developments in the community, initial developer that took the risk to get Andover Station off - the -ground, Tanners, the Courtyards of Andover, and countless other developments. Mr. Dickinson stated that he will be missed, but his work will not be forgotten. Mayor Trude noted that he was involved in developing nearly the whole east section of the city including Bunker Hills, the Hills of Bunker Lake, Shadowbrook and more, even The Lakes development in Blaine. Mayor Trude added, he really understood and worked well with the farmers, the staff and understood the city's topography. Regular Andover City Council Meeting Minutes —Murch 2, 2016 Page 11 AMYOR/COUNCIL INPUT (Pond Naming) Mayor Trude announced that the Andover Station pond has been officially named "Depot Pond," in keeping with the Andover Station theme. She suggested that a ribbon cutting be held and a sign put up on the existing wood poles indicating the name. She noted that although it is a manmade pond, a significant amount of wildlife can be found there. (City -Wide Garage Sale) Councilmember Bukkila announced that the City wide garage sale is being held on May 12`h —14'h. The application will be posted on the City's website, so residents who want to participate by selling or buying should look there for information. She noted that not everyone participates all three days. (North Suburban Home Improvement Show) Mayor Trude indicated that the Boy Scouts will be collecting for the food shelf in conjunction with this event on March 12'h from 9:00 a.m. — 3:00 p.m. A significant number of people that live and work in the area participate in the event, and in years past, the Mayor has seen camaraderie with residents recommending local vendors to others that have done good work for them. This is a free event with 100 booths being sold. (Martin Meadows) Mayor Trude announced there is a Martin Meadows Open Space tour on March 9'h, noting some landscaping and forest management has been done there. (Planning & Zoning Commission) Mayor Trude confirmed that there is no Planning & Zoning Commission regular meeting next week.
