SUBJECT: Community Center Update
DATE: July 29, 2003
INTRODUCTION
Several schematic design and site development issues have emerged since the last Community Center
Project update presented to Council on June 24, 2004. This report is a brief recap of these items for
final Council approval. This report also includes a proposed business operations plan for the facility in
terms of management, operations and staffing.
DISCUSSION
YMCA Schematic Desien Issues
A. Mezzanine
After several reviews by the YMCA, the Stakeholder Design Committee (SDC) and the Facility
Building Team (FBT), the architect has developed a design that locates a portion of the YMCA's
fitness center in the mezzanine area between the Ice Arena and the Fieldhouse. This space provides
adequate areas for YMCA cardiovascular equipment and is a relatively inexpensive space as compared
to constructing a second floor space in other areas of the facility. No action is needed by the Council
on this item.
B. Aquatic Center
Over the course of the last two weeks, the YMCA has raised issues regarding the justification for an
indoor water slide given their experiences in other YMCA facilities, and instead the installation of an
outdoor splash deck. This issue was reviewed by the SDC in response to possible removal of an indoor
water slide, and the group expressed strong reservations to this potential change. YMCA programming
staff indicated they did not see extensive utilization of this aquatic amenity in their other facilities, and
consequently have expressed programming reservations regarding this feature. My office has taken the
lead in raising City concerns with the YMCA on this matter and the YMCA recently notified me that
they had reconsidered their position and that an indoor water slide will be included. An additional
question has been raised regarding the possibility of a joint venture with the YMCA for the
incremental cost of expanding the aquatic center by 2,000 sq. ft. and exploring the inclusion of 2
additional water slides. The revenue side of this expansion is being explored and additional
information will be provided to Council at the workshop. The Council is requested to consider their
position on a joint venture with the YMCA on the expansion of the aquatic center.

C. Elevated Track
After considerable review and discussion, the elevated track was reviewed by the SDC and FBT, with
a unanimous recommendation to remove the elevated track and instead stripe the fieldhouse floor at a
savings of approximately $103,000. Arguments raised by the YMCA in the past two weeks suggested
that an elevated track would not be significantly utilized due to cardiovascular equipment i.e.
treadmills that are planned for the fitness center. According to a consensus of opinion, the cost of an
elevated track at approx. $103,000 does not justify the expense. Given this position, the SDC did not
feel that the removal of an elevated track would significantly detract from the appeal of the facility.
The Council is requested to affirm the SDC reommendation on this item.
Non-YMCA Schematic Desif!n Issues
A. HV AC System for Fieldhouse/Fitness/Common Areas
Heating, ventilation and air conditioning design issues need to be addressed with respect to whether
housing this equipment should be internally or externally located. According to HV AC consultants and
a review by the construction manager and architect, cost of this equipment regardless of internal or
external location are substantially similar. Issues of difference are essentially related to the cost of
constructing the internal space to house the equipment versus the cost of outside screening, and,
secondly, equipment life-cycle aspects associated with frequency of maintenance (internal units
typically last longer due to more regular frequency of maintenance). It is fair to say that both the
architect and construction manager feel that an internal space for a HV AC unit for the fieldhouse and
fitness center would provide the City with a better systems alternative. While YMCA representatives
have indicated that an external unit would be a better cost alternative for the facility. Further discussion
ofthis item will be held at the workshop. The Council is requested to make a decision on this item.
B. Top Loading ofIce Arena Seating and possible 2nd Elevator Needs
Subject to the need to accommodate physically challenged spectators (ADA requirements) and provide
two access points for users of the ice arena (center aisle and northerly entrance point) the architect was
compelled to provide a top loaded arena seating configuration. As a' result, two elevators may be
needed within the facility. The SDC requested that the architect explore whether the YMCA elevator,
currently located on the southside of the main street corridor, and the ice arena elevator, currently
located on the northside of the main street corridor, could be combined in a more centralized location
to provide a common point of access. No action is need by the Council on this item.
C. Changes to Lobby Area for Fieldhouse
In response to issues raised by the YMCA and SDC, the architect redesigned the location of the lobby
area for the fieldhouse from the east end of the main street corridor to a westerly point on the north
side of the corridor closest to the concession stand. Through this redesign, the YMCA access point on
the east side of the building would not be overrun with teams attempting to use the fieldhouse at the
same time that YMCA members may be attempting to use YMCA facilities. No action is needed by the
Council on this item.
D. Enlarged Fieldhouse Floor Space for Spectator Seating
In response to concerns that the Fieldhouse provided only limited spectator seating opportunities,
which could negatively affect the use of the fieldhouse for tournament play, the architect enlarged the
-2-
floor space to accommodate additional spectator seating. The construction manager and architect has
indicated that this enlarged area with seating will have a nominal affect on the project budget. The
" architect will briefly present this design change at the workshop. No action is needed by the Council on
this item.
Other Pro;ect Issues
A. Ballfield Relocation Plan
In keeping with previous Council direction to develop a Ballfield Relocation Plan, staff met with
project consultants and began planning for the relocation of the two existing ball fields on the site. In
connection with and subsequent to these discussions, staff discovered a number of impact
considerations which staff felt needed to be advanced to the SDC for review. The SDC reviewed these
impacts on Wednesday, July 16, 2003 and has endorsed a different approach to the relocation of the
two ballfields. Considerations reviewed by the SDC, project consultants and staff included the
following:
a. Strong desire to preserve existing mature trees and playground structure on the northwest
corner of the site.
b. Heavy utilization of existing playground by the at-large community.
c. Temporary relocation nature of the two ballfields on the City campus brings into question
whether the short-term costs are justified.
d. Relocation of the play structure voids the warranty on the equipment. It was noted that the
playground equipment is between 2 and 5 years old.
e. Inability to fully relocate existing structure to south end of Community Center in light of
site constraints. The volleyball court and swing set area will not fit in the relocated space.
f. Potential likelihood that strong community resistance would result in response to the
possible relocation of a popular park and playground and in particular to the permanent loss
of mature trees on the City campus.
The SDC recommends the alternative of lighting other existing ball fields to extend playability and
utilization and preserve the existing playground and trees on the northwest corner of the City campus
site. Funding for this alternative recommendation would be through a redirection of project funds that
would have been expensed for ballfield relocation. Mr. Larry Emmerick, Andover Baseball and Mr.
Tom Berard, Andover Softball were contacted to receive their input and invited to attend the Council
workshop. The Council is requested to affirm the SDC recommendation on this item.
B. Facility Business, Operations and Staff Plan
As the schematic design for the community center continues to advance, the need to consider how the
facility will be overseen, operated and staffed becomes a prominent consideration. In contemplating
how the community center will be operated, the following points are presented for Council
consideration.
a. Sales and Marketing. Financial self-sufficiency will depend upon the aggressive marketing,
promotion and advertising of the facility and the identification of new sports activities that
may be conducted within the facility to maximize self-sustaining cash flow generation.
I
-3-
Proper staffing of the facility and positioning of key personnel is critical to achieving
financial self-sufficiency goals. The sales and marketing of the facility to end users will be
a critical determinant in achieving financial self-sufficiency. This aspect of the facility
business plan should be viewed as key to the financial success of the facility.
b. YMCA operations and management of the Field house. Discussions with YMCA staff
suggest that there may be some inherent, practical difficulties in this approach, along with
potential public perception issues with having the YMCA operate the City portion of the
facility. Council should provide direction to staff on this option as soon as possible. It
should be noted that even with the YMCA managing the fieldhouse, the City will still need
to aggressively market the facility to achieve financial self-sufficiency.
c. The Ice Arena will need at least two full-time management staff to operate, maintain and
schedule ice related events. The Ice Arena manager would be responsible for all related Ice
Arena activities including hiring of seasonal help, scheduling ice time with user groups,
organizing tournament play, serving as a contact person for the local hockey association
and school district, and dealing with day-to-day operational issues. As the Ice Arena is
scheduled to open in October 2004, the City should have this position filled no later than
the end of June 2004, with the assistant position filled no later than the beginning of
September 2004. Seasonal help will need to be hired in mid-September.
d. With respect to ensuring a financially self-sufficient business model, the City will also need
to consider a managerial position, supported by administrative/ programming staff. The
managerial position would assume the following responsibilities:
i. Coordinate the marketing and promotion of the field house and ice arena to user
groups and businesses; aggressively develop marketing strategies and promotional
opportunities to raise the profile ofthe facility in the surrounding market area.
H. Generate advertising revenues, oversee concession sales, manage/generate space
rental income opportunities, cultivate business relationships, book future sporting
events and explore potential other programming uses of City operated spaces for
income generating possibilities.
HI. Serve as a daily contact point with the public, interested user groups and YMCA
operations staff to respond to inquiries, conduct facility tours to potential customers
and develop marketing strategies and printed materials.
IV. Oversee the programming and scheduling of recreational/sporting/tournament
events in the fieldhouse.
v. Work through and oversee the day-to-day operational needs of the facility including
responding to user requests and complaints, oversee contracted janitorial services,
manage business operations in accordance with approved policies, and coordinate
grounds maintenance.
VI. Could also oversee and assume management responsibilities for budgeting, staffing
and planning responsibilities for the Parks Department that would include capital
improvements to and maintenance responsibilities for parks, playgrounds, and trails;
pursue grants and other funding opportunities.
Vll. Develop an annual operating budget and capital improvement program similar to
other City departments, as recommended by Community Center Advisory Board
(CCAB) (see section below) and approved by the City Council.
Vlll. Oversee and ensure that the facility's business plan model is being complied with to
minimize annual public subsidies and generate positive cash flow.
-4-
. ,
IX. Serve as a department director within normal organizational channels and protocols
and serve as a staff liaison to the Parks Commission (CCAB).
x. Upfront capitalization of staffing costs would be underwritten through initial capital
bond proceeds.
e. With respect to an oversight board, staff previously proposed and had limited discussions
with the Council regarding the need to form a five-member advisory board that would
include four community representatives and (1) YMCA seat, appointed by and responsible
to the City Council. The CCAB would have four community representatives that could be
filled by interested citizens similar to other City commissions, or could include a rotating
position for (1) athletic association representative, (1) Park and Recreation Commission
position, (1) Council representative, and (1) City staff member or some other combination
of representation. This board would have the authority to
i. adopt policies affecting Community Center operations
ii. respond to general citizen requests or service issues affecting use of the facility by
the public, and
HI. recommend an annual operating and capital improvement budget.
Section B. concerning a proposed business, operations and staffing plan, along with a proposed
structure for the CCAB are presented for Council review and discussion. No action is needed on this
item this evening.

SUBJECT: . Fun Fest Organizational Matters
DATE:
July 29, 2003
INTRODUCTION
The Andover Family Fun Fest was held on June 27 and 28, 2003.
DISCUSSION
/
The City Council is requested to discuss whether the Fun Fest should continue. With the
construction of the Community Center approaching the Committee is concerned whether
there will be enough room at the City Hall complex for all ofthe activities, such as the
carnival, community booths, car show, etc.
Public Works and City Hall staff spend many hours planning the activities and assisting
at the event. Some are volunteer hours and others the city compensates them for.
Attached are documents detailing the hours spent on this celebration.
Also included in the backup material is a breakdown of the revenues and expenditures.
One of the problems we have encountered over the years is the lack of volunteers from
the community. This means that city staff has to do more of the planning and helping
during the event. Several staff members have indicated they are only willing to help if
they are compensated for their time.
During a wrap up meeting of the committee two staff members indicated that they will
not be volunteering as much time next year as in the past.
BUDGET IMP ACT
/
The last several years the city has budgeted $4,000.00 to be used for the Fun Fest.
Because of the budget crunch will the city continue to contribute? Ifnot, more donations
from the community businesses would be required. This would mean that staff (or
community volunteers) would need to request money from these businesses.
ACTION REOUIRED
Council is requested to discuss whether the Fun Fest should continue and ifthere will be
enough space at City Hall to accommodate all ofthe activities.

Man Hours
Fun Fest: Parks Department
Fun Fest takes a lot of effort, time and money to pull off. More than anyone who is not
involved with it will ever know. The Parks Staff has always been involved with it from
the very beginning. This was the first year that we were not involved at the site during the
weekend events. We concentrated on the setup and tear down of it. We will continue to
operate this way for future events.
A total of the man hours are as follows:
Before: Grounds 76 hours, Irrigation 16 hours, Tables & Cans 32 hours, Tables
& Chairs 8 hours, Shop & Equipment 8 hours Misc. 16 hours TOTAL 156 hrs
After: Grounds 30 hours, Irrigation 2 hours, Tables & Cans 20 hours, Tables &
Chairs 6 hours, Shop & Equipment 4 hours, Misc. 8 hours TOTAL 70 hrs
The Parks Department spent 226 total man hours for Fun Fest. This is a very conservative
total. I did not include any infield prep work, meetings or car show items. Some of the
grounds work would have to be done even if Fun Fest were not going on. About 75 % to
80 % of the 226 hour total is work that is directly related to the Fun Fest. It is safe to say
that the Parks Department spends at least 200 regular working hours for this celebration.

SUBJECT: Private vs. Public Installation of City Infrastructure - Engineering
DATE: July 29, 2003
INTRODUCTION
One of the Council's 2002 goals was to review the present City of Andover policy requiring all
public facility improvements in new urban developments be contracted for and installed under a
City contract. At the February 26, 2003 Special City Council meeting the City Council directed
staff to look at all the changes needed to allow private developers to install their own streets and
utilities. Provided the City Council agreed with these, then there would be a test period for three
years starting in the 2004 construction season. The process will be evaluated in 2006.
" /
DISCUSSION
The City Council directed staff to modify the current process to allow developers to hire their
own contactors to build the streets and utilities in future new urban developments. The direction
was for the City to retain the engineering/design and inspection of the improvements yet allow
the developer to hire a contractor and pay the contractor directly for the construction costs of the
improvements. The developers feel this will speed up the timing for construction due to the fact
that the project would not be publicly bid, shortening the process by a month or more.
Staff has been working on the proposed new privately installed street and utility process for the
past several months. Attached is a draft list of eleven steps that should be followed to insure the
City covers all the concerns regarding privately installed improvements and allow developers to
speed up the construction process by not going through the Chapter 429 process. These eleven
steps shall be discussed in detail at the meeting.
Modifications to the Development Contract will be required. Attached is a draft Development
Contract highlighting all the proposed changes. This also will be discussed in detail at the
meeting.
A third item the City should have in place is a set of City Standard Specifications that covers
virtually all projects and situations regarding construction improvements. The standard
specification at this time has not been put together. All the information is available, but it is not
compiled. This will consist of gathering all of the City's specifications and putting them in one
document that can be handed out to developers and contractors for all street and utility projects.

The next step in this process would be to meet with developers to review the proposed changes
and receive their comments and input. After this is completed, the final policy will be brought
back to the City Council for approval.
ACTION REOUlRED
The action required is to receive input and comments from the City Council regarding the
proposed changes to the existing policy for installation of public utilities for new urban
subdivisions.

SUBJECT: 2020 MUSA Staging Plan - 2003/04 Council Goal-Community Development
DATE:
July 29,2003
INTRODUCTION
A high priority goal identified for 2003/04 was reviewing the staging plan. The following text
and maps identify the issues regarding the current staging plan. The current staging plan was
put together about four years ago and was probably developed based on interest being shown
from the property owners in developing their property. Given that people do change their
minds and also their circumstances change, it is safe to assume that there probably are
changes needed in the current staging plan.
/
DISCUSSION
The City staff would like to present to the Council related staging plan information on the
following:
I. Current land area(s) ready for development (2000-2005).
2. Who owns the land that is ready for development?
3. When could water and sanitary sewer be available?
4. What is stopping development of some of the parcels?
5. Alternative staging plan, is one possible at this point?
Current Land Ready for Development --Based on the maps that are attached, we have
projected that there are really very limited numbers of new residential developments that
could occur in the next two years under the current staging plan. The map and chart show
there are potentially four developments that could comprise a maximum of 185 units that have
shown interest in development and could be developed without changing the staging plan.
There is an area shown in red on the current staging plan that depends heavily upon adjoining
property owners working together to be able to develop (i.e. Butternut Street and Andover
Boulevard area). The attachments to this report show this area. In order for development to
Sewer Staging Plan
/
occur in this area, the property owners would need to petition for development to occur, or a
large developer must acquire and assemble the properties into a larger piece. Because this
area is so fragmented, this may need to be facilitated by the City to encourage them to work
together and follow a master development (guide) plan for the whole area. This would be
done to show them the most efficient way of developing the area and then they would be able
to work together (or in some cases on their own) if the trunk line were extended down
Andover Boulevard.
There are very few other areas shown in red on the map that can be developed. The next stage
of development (2005-2010) are the yellow areas on the map. There are again very limited
areas that carry this designation. The same is true of the yellow parcels as those that were just
described. They must be developed together and will need a willing developer to buy them or
they will just not develop very quickly. The remaining lands that have been identified in this
report for new urban density residential development depend upon a variety of factors:
· Council determination regarding the expansion of the MUSA line.
· Revisiting and further studying the sewer staging plan and pipe alignments. For
example, the area located east of the rail line along Crosstown Boulevard does not
have access to a sewer pipe unless Winslow Holasek would sell his land to a
developer.
· Council considering the swap of land that is currently in the MUSA for land in Rural
Reserve, outside the MUSA (Woodland's Swap Request).
· The land west of the Andover High School does not have access to the sewer line
without crossing land that is in Agricultural Preserve until after 2005.
· Starting up the development of Andover Station North.

the workshop.
When could City water and sanitary sewer be available? The answer to this question
depends upon a variety of factors. As eXplained above, there are many factors that could
affect when a given parcel will be able to get water and sewer. If there are property owners
interested in development, they depend upon the willingness of other property owners to come
forward with petitions to extend water and sewer to their area. Two rather large development
areas will need cooperation among property owners to achieve any sort of comprehensive
development. Those areas will likely be slow in developing and may need to be studied once
again to determine ifthere is another way to serve them with sewer and water.
What is stopping development of some of the parcels? Again, the parcels that have both a
sewer and water line adjacent to their property control their own destiny. A good example of
those that control their own destiny are shown on the map as areas I - 4 and they all have
immediate access to the needed utility pipes. The other areas 5 - 8 require adjustments to the
Comprehensive Plan and depend upon a lot of unknowns. There is also a portion of the
crosshatched red area along Andover Boulevard that is in the current sewer stage but do not
control their own destiny. It could take quite a few years before this area will develop. The
blue colored parcels have indicated their interest in developing their property, however they
are not in a position to develop at this time or in the foreseeable future, because they depend
upon sewer and water extensions that need to pass through others property before they can
develop.
There are some parcels along South Coon Creek Drive that depend upon the sewer and water
lines being extended across Ken Slyzuk's property and it is in the Agricultural Preserve area
until the year 2010. There are some other properties located north of Coon Creek that are
owned by Don Eveland and they again have an Agricultural Preserve designation to contend
with that will restrict their development until after 2005. They are also shown in the 2010-
2015 growth stage and if they are to develop sooner, the soonest they could be moved up to is
2005-2010 (because of Ag. Preserve).
3
Sewer Staging Plan
The final area to talk about is the Rural Reserve area (north of Coon Creek). This area is not
in the MUSA area, thus it wasn't expected to have any City sewer or water extended into it
until after the year 2020. In discussion with the developers that are considering the purchase
of the property, they would like to continue to explore the development of the property and
would like to bring forward a request to amend the Comprehensive Plan about a year from
now and have the Council consider moving that area up to somewhere in the 2005-2010 time
frame to develop the land. The area has about a two-year lead time on extension of trunk
utilities into the area and could be very difficult to develop considering the amount of land
that is in Agricultural Preserve in that area. This will be an area that will take some strategic
planning to coordinate the timing and development of trunk lines into an area where that
cannot be assessed during the time that the parcels are in Agricultural Preserve. In working
with the developers there will need to be review of their master plan of the road networks,
park locations and overall connections to the existing neighborhoods that surround it.
Alternative Sewer Staging Plan. The development of an alternative sewer staging plan (that
more accurately reflects the interest of property owners) is our goal, but again this depends
upon Council's willingness to review the status of the lands and determine if there is any
support for change, if Council supports bringing portions of the Rural Reserve into the
development time frame that developers have indicated. Also, the staff would facilitate the
process of amending the sewer staging plan. If the Council would consider the study of the
sewer trunk being extended up Crosstown Boulevard and evaluating other alternatives to
serve areas within the MUSA this should be stated. This could mean a change in the sewer
staging plan for portions of the City. Without Council direction on these two areas being
studied and potentially modified on the staging plan, then there will not be much new
development beyond the areas identified in table #1, unless Winslow Holasek sells off
portions of the land that he owns to interested developers.
ACTION REQUESTED
The Council is asked to review and discuss the information relative to the current sewer
staging plan and provide staff direction.

TO: Mayor and Council Members
FROM: John Erar, City Administrator
SUBJECT: Consider/Schedule Joint Council Meeting/County Transportation Policies
DATE: July 29, 2004
INTRODUCTION
City staff recently met with Doug Fischer, Anoka County Engineer to discuss a number of issues
relating to City-County communication, county projects, County Highway Department review of
City plats and a desire to further discuss certain County transportation policies.
DISCUSSION
Two Council goal-setting items for 2003-04 were approved by the Council relative to discussing
off-site County road improvement policies and a desire to meet with County Board
representatives on issues of mutual concern. An agenda for that meeting could be combined with
a regular Council workshop scheduled for either August '26 or September 30, both dates being
the last Tuesday of each respective month. These two dates have been discussed with the County
Engineer and he will notify my office on which date works best for his County Board members.
Council Members or County Commissioners may wish to add additional topics to the meeting
agenda. An agenda will be prepared and distributed prior to the scheduled meeting.
ACTION REOUIRED
Consider the scheduling of joint meeting for either Tuesday, August 26 or Tuesday, September
30 with Anoka County representatives to discuss transportation policies and other issues of
mutual concern.

SUBJECT: Development Proposal/Kuiken Property -- Community Development
DATE:
July 29, 2003
INTRODUCTION
A developer, John Arkell from Select Companies, would like to present his concept plan of a
rural residential development that would have a communal sewer system. Before they go any
further with design or soil borings they would like to know what the Council thinks about the
concept. They have had experience in doing this type of development in Lake Elmo and
would like Council input regarding doing the same thing in rural Andover.
DISCUSSION
The City staff is planning to tour a similar development that the Select Companies has done in
the City of Lake Elmo. The purpose of the tour is to gain a better understanding as to how
their communal septic system has been working and talk to city staff from Lake Elmo to find
out if there have been any problems with what has been implemented there. That information
would be presented to Council the night of July 29th.
The developer has indicated that they may be willing to extend City water lines to the
development if it became available through the lands that lie to the south. This may become a
feasible option if the land owned by Larry Emmerich were to develop in the next year or two.
ACTION REQUESTED
The Council is asked to allow the developer to make a short presentation of his concept and
then discuss the willingness to entertain this rural development proposal with a communal
sewer system.
