RESIDENT FORUM
Bob Lund. owner of Lund's Towing - stated they went to court on February
7, and he can no longer tow in the City of Andover or respond to calls
for towing related services from his premises or any other location in
the City. He asked for a clarification. Attorney Hawkins suggested he
talk with his own attorney about the terms he agreed to.
Mr. Lund - stated the City spent $40,000 to keep him out of the City.
He felt he has a right to a business and that the City is keeping him
from doing it. He felt his constitutional right is being violated. He
felt he didn't have a choice but to agree to the terms in court. He
asked what ordinance states he cannot respond to a towing call from his
house. He doesn't run his business from his house; it is located in the
City of St. Francis. Does he now have to drive out of the City into
Coon Rapids, then come back into the City to respond to a towing call?
He drives his personal vehicle, but feels he is being watched all the
time. The only time he brought a second tow truck to his house, he
received a complaint that he was bringing home junk cars. Attorney
Hawkins stated the ordinance does not allow the business in a
residential area. Every time this has gone to court, Mr. Lund has not
prevailed.
Mr. Lund - stated there isn't a tow company that doesn't do what he
does. He provides a service. Junk cars are not brought to his house. He
accused the City Planner of wanting to get him out of the City, but he
is providing a service with decent looking trucks. Attorney Hawkins
again advised Mr. Lund to discuss these items with his attorney.
Winslow Holasek. 1159 Andover Boulevard NW - referenced the Council
discussion at the last meeting on the use of MSA funds to construct a
bridge across Coon Creek between the proposed Crown pointe and Crown
pointe East developments. He understands the total cost of the bridge
and streets in each development comes to $503,000. The developer will
reimburse $100,000. The policy in the past has been the residents are
only assessed for the cost of a residential street, and MSA funds are
.
... . _.~ ~_. ,
used for the remaining costs of an MSA street. Based on figures given
Regular Andover City Council Meeting
Minutes - February 20, 1996
Page 2
(Resident Forum, Con tinued)
to him by Mr. Erickson, he calculated the residents would pay for about
$50,000 for the street in one development, and $50,000 would be received
in the future when the undeveloped land is platted. He did not think
the pay back of about $200,000 for a $503,000 project is a good return.
No one can argue the need for a bridge for safety reasons, but MSA roads
are gas tax refunds that should be used for roads which help expedite
traffic in the City. He didn't believe that was the primary use of this
particular designation. If the creek was not there, would the City still
designate that as an MSA route? He didn't think so. He didn't believe
the cost of the bridge should be paid for from tax funds.

APPROVAL OF MINUTES
February 6,1996, Regular Meeting: Add as discussion prior to the Motion
on MSA Designation Through Crown pointe/Crown Pointe East, Page 12:
Councilmember Knight asked who initiated the proposal. Mr. Erickson
stated this was discussed between Staff and the developer. It was
a Staff initiation to provide Council other options to review
regarding accesses to these properties. Mayor McKelvey stated this
is something that came up in a discussion between the developer and
Staff on a possible way of working out the bridge and also working
out the lawsuits now pending against the City on another parcel.

PROCLAMATION/VOLUNTEERS OF AMERICA WEEK
Mayor McKelvey read the proclamation declaring the week of March 3 - 10,
1996, as Volunteers of America Week in the City of Andover.
COON CREEK WALKWAY/BIKEWAY/TRAIL DISCUSSION/IP95-24
Mr. Erickson explained the City has received a DNR Trail Grant for the
Coon Creek Bikeway/Walkway Trail which would run from the Bunker Hills
Park, up the railroad tracks, and west along Coon Creek to Crosstown
Regular Andover City Council Meeting
Minutes - February 20, 1996

(Coon Creek Walkway/Bikeway/Trail Discussion/IP95-24, Con tinued)
Boulevard. The grant would contribute 20 percent of the cost and the
project must be constructed by the end of 1997. The City would need to
identify and dedicate approximately $200,000 to this project in order to
proceed with it. The cost includes the purchase of easement as well as
the actual cost of construction. Staff has identified several possible
sources of funding, including the TIF Fund, Park Dedication, PIR, and
in-house street funding. Mr. Carlberg stated CDBG guidelines do not
allow those funds to be used for the construction of new trails. Mr.
Fursman then gave a presentation on a proposed Capital Improvements
Budget for the years 1996 through 2000 indicating funding sources and
possible projects. Undesignated funds are located in the TIF Fund, the
PIR Fund, the Water Fund and Park Dedication. Projects to be considered
include the new City Hall facility, development of Public Works
building, rehabilitation of the existing City Hall, aid for the
redevelopment of Bunker Lake Boulevard, a Community Center, the North
Commercial Park site, Phase 2 development of the Kelsey-Round Lake
regional park, ball field lights for the City Hall Complex #2, trail
development, and others.
Councilmember Jacobson agreed the trail system should be developed and
felt the use of TIF funds would be the best vehicle to fund it, though
he did think the Park Board should contribute toward that project froĊ
its Park Dedication fund since it is a park function. Councilmember
Knight thought it should be funded with either TIF or the PIR fund along
with Park Dedication funds. Mayor McKelvey also felt the funds should
come from TIF and possibly from Park Dedication and the PIR fund. The
Council did not want to use any funding from streets.
Councilmember Dehn asked if the trail will be lighted. Mr. Erickson
stated typically such trails are not lighted.
Park and Recreation Commissioner Dave O'Toole stated the Commission has
not discussed the use of Park Dedication funds for this project, but he
thought that could be done. He also pointed out the trail will
eventually go to Kelsey-Round Lake Park and hopefully up to the City
Hall complex.
MOTION by Knight, Seconded by Dehn, to direct Staff to prepare a
Resolution and determine the proper funding as recommended, with some to
come from Park Dedication, and come back to the Council. DISCUSSION:
Councilmember Jacobson pointed out something will need to be done to
keep the snowmobilers off the trails. Mr. Erickson stated that will be
taken into consideration. Normally the trails are not plowed in the
winter and would be available for cross-country skiing. Motion carried
on a 4-Yes, I-Absent (Kunza) vote.
DISCUSS MODIFIED CUL-DE-SAC LAYOUTS
Mr. Erickson asked for Council input on an alternate layout for cul-de-
sacs. The idea behind this design is to achieve additional green space
and a unique development plan. The proposal is to have a landscaped
>---.. - ~ -------._-~. - - ---~_._-

center island in the cul-de-sac or leave it in a natural condition, with
one-way traffic around it, possibly with no parking or parking on one
side only. The Fire Department is concerned with reduced turning
ability from such a design. The Andover Review Committee was also
concerned with the additional maintenance that may result from the
center median.
Councilmember Dehn had a concern with safety for the children,
especially since there are no sidewalks. Councilmember Jacobson thought
it is an added amenity to the subdivision from an aesthetics point of
view; however, the entire City would end up subsidizing that amenity
because of the maintenance. He didn't think the Council should ask the
taxpayers to be paying for the maintenance of those center medians. He
felt it may be appropriate if the developer would enter into an
agreement to pay for maintenance for a lengthy period of time or if they
would be maintained by a homeowners' association within the subdivision
itself. He did not feel the City should have to expend funds on those
amenities. The Council agreed.
The Council recessed to hold an HRA meeting, 7:52; reconvened at 8:10
p.m.
INTERVIEW CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT FIRMS
The Council then interviewed representatives from the following firms to
consider contracting a construction management firm for the new City
Hall facility: Bossardt Corporation, Adolfson & Peterson, Inc. I Stahl
Construction, Amcon CM and E & V Consultants.
Bossardt Corpora tion: Wayne LeTourneau, Director of Business
Development, and Dave Hanson, Project Management, provided an
introduction of their firm, their experiences, the advantages of
contracting with a construction manager, and the roles and
responsibilities of the various parties involved. They are a pure
agency construction management firm. They do not perform architectural
services in-house, but they do work with a variety of firms depending on
the facility. Their fee of 6 percent is inclusive of all fees, including
architecture. Normally architectural fees will be between 3 and 5
percent of the project. Reimbursement fees is exclusive and usually
runs 3 1/2 to 5 1/2 percent of the project cost. That have never been
involved in any litigation, though they have gone to arbitration as the
owner's representative, not based on any fee or performance. The policy
of union or nonunion contracts would be established by the City. Part
of the construction management process is to eliminate overruns. Once
a budget is set up front, they will work with the City to get everythiny
covered within that budget. The City can either have a guaranteed fixed
cap on prices or it can consider overruns, in which case a contingency
would be established in the budget. Their history is being efficient
and thorough on the front end to be able to stay within a fixed budget.
They usually don't run into much cost overruns with new buildings.
Regular Andover City Council Meeting
Minutes - February 20, 1996

(Interview Construction Management Firms, Continued)
While the price guidelines given by the City is a challenge, based on
the program as they understand it today, they felt they would still be
able to get a composite of solid materials for the exterior, but not a
full skin, and provide a quality product. They would expect to have a
design for the building to the City within four to six weeks, at which
point the Council can decide whether to proceed as is, spend more money,
scale back the size or stop the project. They would build it along the
base line of trust and understanding that they are in the preliminary
stages of evaluation. They have had projects that have taken years to
develop.
Adolfson & Peterson, Inc. - Craig Kronholm explained they work with
clients to come up with a creative solution to problems. They strive
for total client satisfaction. On the front end they meet with the City
to determine what it is looking for and then bring in the right
architect to the team. They submitted a maximum fee for their
construction management for on-site personnel and for all office-related
reimbursable. It is a not-to-exceed fee; however, the architect cost is
not included and would run 4 to 8 percent of the project. The architect
would be selected based on what the City wants and the fee would be
included in the figure set by the City. The plans will be reworked
until everyone agrees. The only time they can exceed the budget is with
authorization from the City. He talked with five architects about this
project to see if this is realistic. He is very optimistic. The
construction management supervisor would be on the project site full
time during the construction process. They would defer to the City on
union versus nonunion workers. He thought with the proposed budget the
building could be hollow block and masonry. He felt they would have
something for the Council to consider within three weeks, four weeks
maximum. The relationship with the City is on-going until the project
is completed. If the City would chose to stop the project for some
reason, any work done by Adolfson & Peterson would be gratis. If the
cost of the project is increased, their fee would not change unless the
length of the project extended beyond the end of this year. That would
be negotiated up front, probably with the additional fee proportional.
The Council recessed at 8:44; reconvened at 8:48 p.m.
Stahl Construction - Michelle Granger and Jim Todd gave a presentation
to the Council on their company, the responsibilities they would
undertake, and the advantages of contracting with a construction
manager. The fees proposed are all inclusive. There are no reimbursable
costs, but it does not include architectural fees. Architectural fees
would come out of the not-to-exceed figure set by the City and normally
runs about 8 percent of the project. A budget would be set as agreed to
by the City, and there would be no change to it unless authorized by the
City. They are cost sensitive. Normally they do not bid on a project
on which they are the construction manager. With the budget as
proposed, the exterior would depend on the shape of the building. There
are a number of alternatives to brick. Their fee is fixed and probably
Regular Andover City Council Meeting
Minutes - February 20, 1996

(Interview Construction Management Firms, Continued)
would be the same unless construction went over four months. If it runs
over six months, something has gone wrong. While most of their work has
been with schools, they have completed the Eden Prairie city center.
They prefer to work with union but would also work with nonunion
contractors. They would be able to bring a rough preliminary to the
Council about two weeks after the specific program requirements have
been established. If the decision is not to do the project for some
reason, they would hope to continue their relationship until the City
does choose to proceed. Any responsibility for their fee would depend
on how much time they had invested in the project to that point. They
were not aware that the figure for the project included $200,000 in
furniture costs.
Ameon CM - Todd Christopherson reviewed the proj ect requirements,
provided reasons why Amcon CM should be hired and outlined the fee
structure. Through them, the City would be getting a good quality
building at the least cost. Their fee includes the labor costs of the
on-site supervision during field construction. Amcon CM's fee would be
about 4 percent of the project budget. He felt it is key to start the
project early this fall so the majority of it is completed before the
winter. Reimbursable costs are not included in their professional fee.
He estimated those would be about $30,000 to $40,000 for this project.
The architectural fees are included in the amount budgeted by the City.
He suggested working with an outside architectural firm, estimating that
fee to be between 6 and 7 percent. The budget established by the City
is workable, but it is tight. For that cost, he felt the exterior would
be a combination of brick and another material. He was not aware that
about $200,000 for furnishings was included in the City's budget amount.
They charge 10 percent for reimbursable costs to cover overhead. Though
they are a small firm, he was confident he would be able to meet the
City's needs because of the other partners in the building. He has
access to seven other registered professional engineers. If the project
takes eight to nine months, the fee is fixed and won't change. If it
goes beyond that, the fee would be his rate times cost times 60 percent.
He did not think a full-time person is warranted for a project this
size. He would be able to have something for the Council to consider by
late April. If the project is stopped for some reason, he would break
the fee into a project management fee and a site superintendent fee
divided over 13 months on the project, and propose to bill the City on
a monthly basis while consulting on the project. There would be no
further billing if the project did not proceed. The contract could
either be closed or left open.
E & V Consul tants - Bob Struve, President, Barry Badinger, proj ect
Manager, and Todd Shell, project coordinator and field construction
manager, provided some background on their firm. Construction support
costs, which run 2 to 2 1/2 percent of the construction costs, are paid
by the City and are not included in their fee. In reading the City's
proposal, the architectural costs are to be included in the budget cost.
They would recommend the City hire an architectural firm, and they would
help with that selection prQcess, which would be similar to what the
Council is doing now to select a construction management firm.
Regular Andover City Council Meeting
Minutes - February 20, 1996

(Interview Construction Management Firms, Continued)
Architectural fees are approximately 6 percent of a project like this.
They estimated this project as budgeted to be about $67 per square foot,
which could be a metal stud structure probably with some wood or other
materials. They would first find out what the City's expectations are.
The $72,000 is their management fee. The cost for part-time field
service, which is over and above the fee, would be billed at an hourly
rate. They were not aware that the budget included $200,000 for
furnishings. They would be able to have something for the Council to
consider before the end of April. If the project were stopped for some
reason, their fee is negotiable, probably based on their knowledge of
the proj ect. It is very common in both construction management and
architectural contracts to limit the amount of financial exposure the
City would have. That type of financial safety net could be written
into a negotiated contract with E and V Consultants.
(The Council selected a construction management firm later in the
meeting. See Page 9 of these Minutes.)
The Council recessed to hold an EDA meeting, 10:07; reconvened at 10:10.
WALKWAY/BIKEWAY/TRAIL DISCUSSION
Mr. Erickson explained this issue is a result of the Mission Statement
and externalities discussions. The Planning and Zoning Commission has
discussed this item and is making two recommendations: 1) Five-foot
wide concrete sidewalks be required in new developments in the urban
area only along one side of the higher volume streets, not every street.
In addition, flexibility is to be maintained so the Planning Commission
and City Council can look at each subdivision on a case-by-case basis.
A maintenance program should also be established. 2) Require bikeways
and walkways to be constructed, but fees should be collected as a part
of new developments or with all building permits. The City would then
construct the bikeways in a logical system. Research would need to be
done to develop a fee structure to collect from new developments or
along with building permits to help subsidize the construction of that
system. Right of way would be collected as needed in new developments.
Councilmember Jacobson generally liked the idea of sidewalks in
subdivisions on only one side of the street and only on collector
streets when needed. He also preferred collecting a fee for the bikeway
system on all building permits to spread the cost to all residents. His
only concern was with the bikeway/walkway map of the comprehensive plan.
He suggested that the plan for trails be reviewed again. It does not
seem feasible to construct trails along every major roadway in the City,
nor did he think that was ever the intent. His preference would be to
create three or four nice trails through areas that would be
aesthetically pleasing. The plan needs to be condensed into a
manageable size and get it away from going along every street.

Minutes - February 20, 1996
Page 9
(Walkway/Bikeway/Trail Discussion, Continued)
Mr. Erickson explained interior sidewalks are generally concrete, not
asphalt. The sidewalks could either be installed as a part of the
infrastructure by the developer or installed by the builder at the time
the lot is developed.
winslow Holasek - felt that by having the sidewalks installed when the
plat is developed, they will be broken up when the houses are
constructed. He suggested they be handled the same way as the last lift
of the street. The developer would escrow for the sidewalks and the
installation would occur when a majority of the homes in the plat have
been constructed. Mr. Erickson and the Council felt that is a good
point.
The Council directed Staff to draft a resolution regarding fees for the
bikeway/trail way system. The ordinances already allow the City to
require sidewalks as needed.
DISCUSSION/CONTRACT FOR MOWING SERVICES
MOTION by Jacobson, Seconded by Dehn, that the Council authorize the
City Administrator or other Staff to develop a contract for mowing
services and bring that contract back to the Council for review before
they send anything out. Motion carried on a 4-Yes, I-Absent (Kunza)
vote.
RESCHEDULE NEXT COUNCIL MEETING
The March 5, 1996, regular City Council meeting cannot be held on that
day because of precinct caucuses held that day. The Council agreed to
move the meeting to Wednesday, March 6, 1996, 7:00 p.m.
SELECT CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT FIRM
The Councilmembers each stated their preference of two firms, then moved
the following:
MOTION by Jacobson, Seconded by Dehn, to pick Adolfson & Peterson, Inc.,
as the construction management firm. Motion carried on a 4-Yes, 1-
Absent (Kunza) vote.
MAYOR/COUNCIL INPUT
Snowmobile Ordinance signs - Councilmember Dehn suggested the City
install small signs on some of the other City signs that state,
"Snowmobile Ordinance Enforced" to remind people there is an ordinance
and rules that need to be followed.

Minutes - February 20, 1996

(Mayor/Council Input, Continued)
The City's development - Councilmember Dehn stated she received a phone
call from a resident who was very concerned with the rapid pace at which
the City is developing. There was a special concern about the rural
areas and the wetlands. She noted an example of where there needs to be
some caution is with the trail system. Placing a trail system adjacent
to a practicing agricultural ~u~ess~an create a very difficult
situation for the farmer. Cebl~ ~ r Jð.~uL"ull noted that if a
person's property is within the development area, the City does not have
the authority to deny the property owner the right to development if
desired. No specific direction was given on this item.
Sidewalks in the Crooked Lake Boulevard reconstruction project -
Councilmember Jacobson stated he received a phone call from someone who
lives just off of Crooked Lake Boulevard who asked the Council' to
reconsider the installation of sidewalks along that street. He
suggested if the people were serious about that, they should bring in a
petition to do so.
Comprehensive Plan Amendment - Mr. Fursman stated Staff is meeting with
Metropolitan Council representatives next week to discuss the City's
request for a Major Amendment to the Comprehensive Plan.
PAYMENT OF CLAIMS
MOTION by Knight, Seconded by Dehn, to approve the payment of claims
(for $281,940.60). Motion carried on a 4-Yes, I-Absent (Kunza) vote.
The Council recessed to hold an Executive Session with the City Attorney
on the Weybridge 3rd litigation, 10:46; reconvened at 11:16 p.m.
