SUBJECT: Approve Assessment Services Contract! Anoka County
DATE: November 20,2001
INTRODUCTION
The City of Andover's current contract with Anoka County for assessment services expires
January 15, 2002. In an effort to prepare for 2003 assessment services the City of Andover is
requested to review a proposed contract from Anoka County.
/
DISCUSSION
The City of Andover's current contract with Anoka County for assessment services was last
reviewed in September of 1995. At that time, a six year contract was signed with the City having
the right to terminate the agreement by providing, at a minimum, two years written notice by
certified mail, which notice shall be sent prior to January 2 of any year to terminate assessment
services to be performed two years from such date (i.e. to terminate the agreement for assessment
services in the year 2000 the party must provide written notice of termination by not later January
2, 1998).
The proposed contract (attached) with Anoka County for assessment services is identical to the
current contract with the exception of years service is for 2003 to 2008 assessment services.
Finance is currently discussing with Anoka County the addition of a definition of operating costs
to the contract. The definition should indicate exactly what costs the City of Andover is
obligated to pay. Currently the County is using the Assessing Department's overall budget as the
basis for fees to the County's contracted cities. (For example, a professional service expenditure
to assist the City of Blaine in defense of assessments should not be charged to the City of
Andover, and vice versa).
I
Mayor and Council Members
November 20,2001
Page 2 of2
The Finance Department is recommending that the City of Andover continue using the Anoka
County Assessor as the City Assessor and to approve the attached "Joint Powers Agreement
Between the City of Andover and the County of Anoka for Assessment of Property" for 2003 to
2008 assessment services. The City will have the right to terminate the agreement by providing,
at a minimum, two years written notice by certified mail, which notice shall be sent prior to
January 2 of any year to terminate assessment services to be performed two years from such date
(i.e. to terminate the agreement for assessment services in the year 2006 the party must provide
written notice oftermination by not later January 2,2004).
BUDGET IMP ACT
Assessing Services is reviewed annually as part of the budget process. The City budgeted
$84,500 for 2001 but the actual expenses for assessment services in 2001 are $92,040. The
proposed 2002 budget is $102,000.
ACTION REOUESTED
/ The Andover City Council is requested to approve the "Joint Powers Agreement Between the
City of Andover and the County of Anoka for Assessment of Property" for 2003 to 2008
assessment services with the addition of a definition of operating costs to the contract.
Attachment

DATE: November 20,2001
INTRODUCTION
This item is in regards to an update of the Park Vandalism Reward Program that the Park &
Recreation Commission has recommended.
/ DISCUSSION
If the City Council recalls, this item was tabled to allow City staff, the City Attorney and Captain
King to meet to discuss the program and how it would work. In the discussion, City
Administrator John Erar suggested that since an individual from the Anoka County Sheriffs
Department is proposed to be budgeted for 2002 as a Crime Prevention Specialist it would be
appropriate for this individual to set the program up and oversee the program once it is in place.
City staff will be working closely with the Sheriffs Department to make that transition.

No action is necessary unless there are any questions by the City Council.

DATE: November 20, 2001
INTRODUCTION
The City Council held a special Council work session on November 8, 2001 to evaluate the six-month
performance of City Administrator John Erar.
DISCUSSION
The evaluation of the administrator was conducted in closed session by the City Council as permitted by
state open meeting laws. In summary review of the Council's discussions with the administrator, it was
determined that the administrator performed satisfactorily in all areas of his management duties. The
administrator was evaluated in the areas of Council relations; organizational management; fiscal/business
management; program development; long range planning; relationship with public; interagency relations;
and professionaVpersonal development.
The Council commented on points related to both positive performance attributes and identified areas
where improvement was needed. In general, the City Council indicated their overall satisfaction with the
performance of the administrator over the last six-month period, which ended on October 2, 2001. A
twelve-month review will be held shortly after April 2, 2002.
BUDGET IMPACT
The Council determined that, in conformance with administrator's employment contract, that
administrator Erar should be advanced to the next step in his salary range ($87,311 annually), retroactive
to October 2,2001.
ACTION REOUESTED
Council approval of the results of City administrator Erar's six month performance review as
satisfactory.

SUBJECT: Approval of Timesaver Off-Site Secretarial Service
DATE: November 20,2001
INTRODUCTION
With the resignation of Marcie Peach, the City Council needs to appoint a different vendor to take
minutes at all regular and special City Council meetings and EDA meetings.
DISCUSSION
Currently, Timesaver Off Site Secretarial, Inc. (TOSS) takes minutes for the Planning and Zoning
Commission and Park and Recreation Commission meetings, so they are familiar with the City of
Andover. TOSS also takes regular City Council meeting minutes for the cities of Ramsey, Coon Rapids,
Blaine, and Brooklyn Park. The Company is very reliable and has made a commitment to the City of
Andover to ensure quality product.
BUDGET IMPACT
Currently the cost is similar to what was being paid to Marcie Peach. I am stiIl awaiting the contract for
the 2002 year. Using 2001 fees for comparison: Ms. Peach was earning $23.00 per hour for meeting
attendance and $11.50 per hour travel time; plus $9.00 per typewritten page of minutes. The current
TOSS contract is for $21.50 per hour and $10.75 per hour travel time; plus $9.50 per typewritten pages
of minutes. TOSS charges a slightly higher rate per typewritten page, that is offset by lower hourly
meeting attendance rates and travel time.
ACTION REOUESTED
Approve Timesaver Off Site Secretarial Inc., as the replacement for Marcie Peach, Recording Secretary
for all regular and special City Council meetings and EDA meetings.

SUBJECT: Schedule Council Workshop\2020 Comprehensive Plan\Met Council Review
Comments
DATE: November 20, 2001
INTRODUCTION
At the October 23, 2001 Council workshop that was held to discuss the City's 2020
Comprehensive Plan, Council was presented with a Metropolitan Council staff report identifying
a number of issues regarding the City's plan submittal. At this meeting, Council authorized staff
to transmit a letter requesting a 60-day extension from the Metropolitan Council to allow staff
additional time to address plan review comments.
Attached please find a copy of the letter that was sent on November 1,2001, along with meeting
minutes. Due to the time lines associated with the 60 day extension, Council will need to address
Metropolitan Council plan review comments relative to final plan submittal.
DISCUSSION
As was indicated at the October 23, 2001 workshop, should the Council decide not to respond
affirmatively to the Metropolitan Council plan reVIew comments, the City's 2020
Comprehensive Plan would most likely not be approved. Community development implications
associated with rejection by the Metropolitan Council of the City's 2020 Comp Plan would result
in a halting of any further development beyond 2005.
Issues to be discussed by Council at this proposed workshop include adding the following
contingencies:
1. Preventing any further lot splits of less than 20 acres within the 2020 MUSA urban
reserve area.
2. The plan should protect agriculturally sensitive areas to 2020 and identify protected
sensitive natural areas through the adoption of permanent rural land use controls.
3. Be willing to attach as a condition of plan approval, the performance of a pilot study
comprised of approximately 1,000 acres that would eventually result in the development
--
of a 2040 MUSA line. The pilot study itself would not necessarily commit the City, but
would allow the City the opportunity to examine the feasibility of providing sewered
service for an additional 1,000 acres of urbanized growth beyond 2020 to 2040. With this
analysis, the City would need to perform a Tier 2 sewer plan to determine the feasibility
of providing sewered service to the chosen pilot study area. Once the City determines the
feasibility of providing sewered service to the study area, the Council, at some point in
the future, could make a final determination of whether to designate this area as the 2040
urban reserve area.
4. Finally, Council will need to discuss its position relative to the future allocation of sewer
flows associated with the CAB interceptor. In this regard, the Metropolitan Council has
indicated that if the City chooses not to utilize the future CAB interceptor for future or
existing growth needs, then CAB capacities could be permanently diverted to other
communities. Staff will present additional planning information to assist Council in their
deliberations at the workshop.
Given the substance of these issues as they relate to the future growth and planning of the
community and the strategic direction recently discussed by Council calling for approval of the
City's 2020 Comprehensive Plan by the Metropolitan Council, a Council workshop will need to
be scheduled in mid-December.
Tentative workshop meeting dates include Thursday, December 6, Thursday, December 13 or
Thursday, December 20, 200l.
ACTION REQUIRED
Schedule a Council workshop to discuss how Metropolitan Council plan review comments will
be addressed within the City's 2020 Comprehensive Plan.

MINUTES OF THE ONE TOPIC MEETING OF

CALL TO ORDER - 1
The meeting began at 5:00 p.m. at the QCTV-15 location on East River Road,
Anoka, MN 55303.
ROLL CALL - 2
Commissioners present were Gerald Cotten, Paul Pierce, III~JoAnne Brown,
Vicki Volk, Patti Kurak, Terry Hendriksen, and Don Jacobson.
Others present included Terry O'Connell, Commission Staff.
DISCUSSION - 3
O'Connell indicated that the budget for constructing and moving into the facility
needed to be discussed and indicated that there may be room to move around
on the $300,000 equipment figure.
O'Connell indicated that the building committee had said the building could not
be constructed for the estimated $85.00 per square foot.
O'Connell indicated that Mr. Donna was in attendance to discuss the bonding to
pay for the facility and what that bonding would cost the Commission.
Chair Cotten indicated that, in his experience, the amount never comes in at the
first budgeted number and suggested that the Commission add a minimum of
10% to its budget for the building to cover overages.
Commissioner Jacobson indicated that the building committee had determined
that $100.00 per square foot was a more accurate estimate.
O'Connell indicated that the language for the architect's contract had been
worked out and will be reviewed for signature.
Chair Cotten indicated that language addressing change orders should be
addressed in the contract.
~
Quad Cities Cable Communications
November 1, 2001
Page 2
O'Connell indicated he thought there was language in the contract governing
change orders but indicated he would check to make sure.
Commissioner Kurak asked if the $100.00 per square foot figure would get the
Commission a building that is ready to move in to.
Commissioner Jacobson indicated that the building committee had gone to the
Coon Rapids facility to review it and had determined that the building size should
be reduced to 8750 square feet and had also determined that $100.00 per
square foot was a more reasonable estimate.
O'Connell indicated that the price will vary depending upon how eager
contractors are for work.
Chair Cotten commented that Mr. Rosa has saved him a lot of money in the past
by holding contractors accountable for change orders.
Commissioner Jacobson asked what would happen to the equipment that is in
the current facility.
O'Connell indicated that all of the editing equipment would be moved into the
new editing suites. He then indicated that there wasn't any studio equipment
and there is some equipment in storage at public works that the Commission
would need to discuss.
O'Connell indicated that the editing equipment was top notch and could be
scaled back to save money.
Commissioner Jacobson inquired as to how many requests for tape duplication
the station receives.
O'Connell indicated the requests for tape duplication were dependent upon the
types of programming occurring at that time. He then indicated that there are
requests for tape duplication every week. He further indicated that they may not
need 10 duplication decks but said that the four current duplication decks are
always in use.
O'Connell indicated the estimate for office furniture was $20,000 and indicated
the furniture would be matched to the current office furniture.
Commissioner Jacobson indicated that the cost of the issuance was not in the
documents. He also indicated that legal costs, survey costs, consultant costs,
and AT&T costs to move the studio were not included in the budget. He further
indicated that the station currently does not have any sets and said those costs
need to be considered.

O'Connell indicated that the $300,000 figure for equipment includes some
module sets.
O'Connell indicated that he had received a telephone call from the technician
from A T& T who indicated that the company will route all four city halls over to the
new facility. He then indicated that he had requested a price to be able to
control the systems from the Champlin facility, as it would save time for Staff not
to have to travel to each city hall. He further indicated that it seems that AT&T is
indicating that the move will be paid for by AT&T.
Chair Cotten inquired as to whether there are closing costs on the land
purchase.
O'Connell indicated he was not sure but said he would find out.
Mr. Donna indicated that Article 8 of the Joint Powers Agreement limits the
amount of debt to 1.5 million. He then indicated that the Commission needed to -
determine whether to stick to the budget as presented, make changes, request
permission of the four cities for more borrowing power, or use cash to pay for
some of the costs. He further indicated that the numbers he would be presenting
assumed a bonding for 1.5 million.
Commissioner Jacobson asked how much it would cost to issue the bonds.
Mr. Donna outlined for the Commission the costs involved in bonding for the
building. He then indicated that, in order to free up funds for the building, the
Commission could set aside $75,000 of the required $150,000 debt service fund
and pledge to build up the other $75,000 over the course of two years.
Mr. Donna indicated that it would also be possible for the Commission to set
aside funds up front for the debt service fund, if available, in order to avoid
bonding for that amount.
Mr. Donna indicated the average coupon interest would be 5.14% if the bonds
were sold today. He then indicated that the average coupon in March was 5.5%.
Mr. Donna explained that the debt service schedule was two tiered making the
payments $150,000 for the first five years and $130,000 for the remaining years.
He then pointed out that the debt service fund would be used to pay the last
payment.
Mr. Donna indicated that the coverage ratio is based on projected franchise
revenue and that is what investors will use to determine their comfort level. He
then indicated that the Commission has three times the revenue required to pay
the debt service.

Mr. Donna indicated that Mr. Creighton had determined that the bonding agency
could not take a first mortgage on the revenue of the Commission but could do
so on the franchise fees.
Commissioner Jacobson commented that he had thought the original loan
payment was estimated to be $100,000 per year.
O'Connell indicated that he had budgeted $165,000 for the debt service
payments.
Chair Cotten indicated that the Commission needed to make up a difference of
$200,000.
Commissioner Pierce indicated he was hesitant to go back to the cities to ask for
more borrowing power.
O'Connell indicated that it may be possible to reduce the amount each City
receives next year for equipment in order to make up the difference.
Commissioner Jacobson indicated if each City were to use only $85,000, rather
than the $100,000 budgeted, that would leave an extra $120,000 for the building.
O'Connell indicated he did not wish to go to the cities for more borrowing power
because he remembers saying "1.5 million is more than we ever would need."
Commissioner Hendriksen indicated if the Commission went to the cities for
more borrowing power and was turned down but managed to build the facility for
a lower price, the Commission would lose all credibility.
O'Connell indicated the numbers needed to be pared down.
Commissioner Jacob.son asked how much of the 1.5 million is actually available
for the building construction.
Mr. Donna indicated that 1.2 million would be available and an additional
$75,000 could be used if the Commission opts to pledge the remaining $75,000
over the course of two years.
Commissioner Hendriksen indicated that the Commission was short $30,000.
Commissioner Hendriksen indicated that if the amount given to each city to
improve equipment in 2002 were lowered to $90,000 instead of $1 00,000 the
Commission would be able to cover the shortage.

O'Connell indicated he did not think that the cities would all use the $100,000
that is budgeted for each of them.
Commissioner Jacobson indicated he felt Andover could get by using $85,000
for next year.
O'Connell indicated he would like to use the amounts from the equipment fund
for each city in 2002 rather than taking away from the building.
Chair Cotten indicated there was a difference of $135,000 based on the 1,5
million.
Commissioner Hendriksen indicated that, by the time things are being moved
into the building, the Commission will know if the figure is $85.00 per square foot
or closer to $100.00 per square foot. He further indicated that, at that point,
equipment might have to be changed to fit the remainder of the funds.
Commissioner Jacobson asked when the bonds would be sold.
Mr. Donna indicated there would be a resolution for approval at the November
15, 2001 meeting authorizing issuance of the bonds so that the process of
locking the interest rate could occur.
Commissioner Jacobson questioned whether the only reason to issue the bonds
now was because of the interest rate.
Mr. Donna indicated that rates went down yesterday and said the feds would cut
short-term rates the following week. He further indicated that bond rates are at a
30 year low.
Commissioner Jacobson asked when the money would come in.
Mr. Donna indicated he anticipated a closing date the first or second week in
December.
Commissioner Jacobson asked when the first interest payment would need to be
made.
Mr. Donna indicated that the first interest payment would be due in August of
2002.
O'Connell indicated that the interest payment is $45,000. He then indicated that
he had budgeted $165,000 leaving $120,000 that could be used to cover
expenses on the building.

Commissioner Jacobson asked how far in advance firm numbers could be
gathered for equipment.
O'Connell indicated an equipment quote would be good for 30 to 45 days.
Commissioner Pierce indicated he did not think equipment prices would be going
up based on the current economic conditions.
Commissioner Jacobson asked if the Commission would hold a garage sale or
auction for the equipment not going over to the new facility.
Commissioner Pierce indicated the League of Minnesota Cities has a "for sale"
section available for use.
O'Connell indicated he would attempt to confirm the numbers and pare things
down. He then commented that he would like to authorize the issuance of the
bonds on November 15, 2001.
Mr. Donna indicated that minor changes could be made at the November 15,
2001 meeting but said it was preferable if anything major needed to be changed
it be done before the meeting.
Commissioner Hendriksen questioned whether having $75,000 in the debt
reserve fund and pledging for the other $75,000 would affect the interest rate of
the bonds.
Mr. Donna indicated the bond rates would not be affected by pledging half of the
debt reserve fund.
It was the consent of the Commission to move forward toward approval of the
issuance of the bonds with the figures presented.
Commissioner Jacobson asked O'Connell to look at the costs not yet outlined
such as the survey, attorney's fees, consultant fees, and A T& T fees to move the
facility.
Mr. Donna indicated that title insurance on the property would be required.

5.1 AT & T BROADBAND REPORT
Ms. Donnelly-Cohen reported that the Company had updated the technical
reports and outages for the last two months and noted that the columns in the
report were slightly off and there were some errors because the information is
not pulling off of the new system. She also reported that the subscriber numbers
were on file in the Commission Office if any of the Commissioners were
interested in reviewing them.
Ms. Donnelly-Cohen indicated that subscribers would be getting the annual
notice as required by the FCC and noted there would be a copy in the office
should anyone need to review it.
Ms. Donnelly-Cohen indicated that she had called O'Connell and Bruce to notify
them that the company intended to do some limited prep work i!ljhe area prior to
winter. She then indicated that rather than a blanket notification the crews would
be putting notice on residents doors when they are in the neighborhood because
the work is very limited and she feels it would be confusing to subscribers if they
were told work was beginning on the upgrade. She further indicated that there
would be no upgrade this calendar year.
Commissioner Goodman asked if the crews would be digging.
Ms. Donnelly-Cohen indicated that the work would be relatively minor and would
include replacing some pedestals.
Commissioner Goodman reminded Ms. Donnelly-Cohen that the Commission
had asked that residents be notified before the digging starts.
Ms. Donnelly-Cohen indicated that the company would notify residents prior to
commencing the real work.
Commissioner Jacobson questioned whether the four public works directors had
gotten together to discuss the upgrade as the Commission had discussed
previously.
Mr. Tronson indicated he was not sure and said he would ask O'Connell and
report back to the Commission.
Ms. Donnelly-Cohen indicated that her technical people had told her that they
had met with each public works director individually but not as a group. She then
noted that the company does not do anything without a permit which would notify
public works that the company would be in the area but said if the Commission
.

Quad Cities Cable Communications

would like the four public works directors to meet as a group she would be happy
to coordinate a meeting.
Commissioner Goodman noted that on the detailed outage report it indicated
there was a blown fuse. He then asked if that was an ongoing problem.
Ms. Donnelly-Cohen indicated that type of issue usually occurs when there is
some type of power surge and indicated she could gather more information on
the outage if the Commission was interested.
Commissioner Goodman asked if the company is aware of the blown fuse right
away or if subscribers have to notify the company.
Ms. Donnelly-Cohen indicated that with the current system the company has no
way of knowing about the blown fuse until the subscribers call. She then
explained that as a part of the upgrade, the system will have backup power and
the company will be notified when the backup power kicks in and should be able
to correct the-problem before subscribers are aware of it.

5.2 ADMINISTRATOR'S REPORT
Mr. Tronson indicated that O'Connell is doing well and hoping to be back in the
office for the November 1, 2001 One Topic meeting. He then indicated that all
things related to the bonding issue would be discussed at that meeting.
Mr. Tronson told the Commission he had been receiving calls from Andover and
Anoka concerning cable issues and noted the company has been responsive to
those issues.
Motion was made by Volk and seconded by Pierce to ACCEPT THE REPORT

ATTORNEY'S REPORT-7
7.1 LEGAL UPDATE REPORT - MACTA LEGISLATIVE REQUEST
Mr. Creighton indicated that MACTA has requested additional funds to be able to
fund itself through the end of the year and to prepare for next year's legislative
session. He then indicated that O'Connell had said that there were no funds
budgeted for this year. Mr. Creighton then indicated he is not really in a position
toTecommend that the Commission authorize funds for MACTA and told the
Commission it could either do so or wait for O'Connell to return before deciding.
Chair Cotten indicated that the Commission typically has contributed to MACT A
and noted there was room in the budget to do so.
Commissioner Goodman indicated that under the lobbying efforts in the budget
there was $5,000 budgeted and the Commission has only spent $575.00.
Commissioner Jacobson questioned whether all commissions were being asked
to contribute and then said he feels the contribution should be based on the size
of the commission.
Commissioner Goodman indicated that the request is for $593.31.
Chair Cotten indicated other commissions would pay more or less based on the
per capita numbers.
Commissioner Jacobson asked if other systems are participating.
Mr. Creighton there is a dispute going on in MACTA right now because some of
the systems are carrying most of the load because of the fact that the big
systems in Minneapolis and St. Paul are not contributing because they say they
have their own lobbyists. He then indicated that there are still major MACT A
supporters such as the North Metro Commission and North Suburban
Commission.

Commissioner Jacobson suggested authorizing a contribution and including a
note with the check that says that the Commission will be considering its
contribution next year based on majority participation of other commissions in the
lobbying effort.
Motion was made by Jacobson and seconded by Hendriksen to AUTHORIZE A
PAYMENT OF $593.31 AND TO DIRECT STAFF TO NOTIFY MACTA THAT
FUTURE FUNDING MAY BE WITHHELD IF A MAJORITY OF THE
COMMISSIONS ARE NOT CONTRIBUTING TO THE LOBBYING EFFORT.
7.2 RATE REGULATION CONSORTIUM
Mr. Creighton indicated that the Commission is a member of a consortium
reviewing rates. He then indicated that the Administrators from the various
Commissions met with the accountant and the accountant had advised them that
AT&T had changed its reporting method for equipment expenses making it
difficult to obtain information.

Mr. Creighton further explained that AT&T has indicated that recent changes in ---~
federal law allow them to do some sort of national averaging of equipment and
affected rates and the accountant has asked for information to be able to
compare apples to apples.
Mr. Creighton indicated that the project will cost another $15,000 for additional
accounting fees and the other $15,000 is for the hearing and things that need to
be done. He then noted that these figures were totals and said the Commission
is being asked to pay an additional amount not to exceed $3,200 which figures to
be about .18 per subscriber. He further indicated that O'Connell was at the
meeting and said he believes O'Connell is in support of recommending that this
amount be paid.
Chair Cotten asked if the accountant feels the commissions are paying an unfair
share because A T& T is using one figure for equipment for the whole country.
Mr. Creighton indicated that the accountant is not sure and has said that there
will be additional time and expense involved to find out. He then indicated that
the Administrators had gone through a cost benefit analysis and had determined
that the amounts may be significant based on the different areas of the country
and varying expenses. He further noted that the Administrators had indicated
that they had gone this far with the rate audit and felt they should continue the
process in order to do a thorough job.
Mr. Creighton indicated that if the accountant determines that the numbers are
close enough not to warrant contesting the money would not be spent.

Chair Cotten clarified that the Commission needed to agree to issue a check if it
needs to do so to pay for the process.
Mr. Creighton clarified that the Commission needs to agree to participate in this
part of the rate audit in an additional amount not to exceed $3,200 but the
Commission would not actually write a check because the Commission is billed
each month.
Commissioner Jacobson asked if the Commission is paying 10% of the entire
amount.
Mr. Creighton indicated the Commission's portion figures out to be approximately
10%.
Chair Cotten asked if O'Connell was in favor of moving forward with this.
Mr. Creighton indicated that O'Connell was at the meeting and had indicated that
- the Commission should continue to participate. He then noted the accountant
had stopped the project and said the Administrators needed to go to the cities
and tell them the extra things that need to be done before he had incurred any
more costs.
Mr, Tronson indicated that O'Connell supported this additional funding request to
complete the rate audit.
Chair Cotten asked if the Commission could wait until next month when
O'Connell is back before deciding.
Mr. Creighton indicated that the rate hearing would be held at the November
meeting rather than at the December meeting as that has typically been reserved
for the Commission's holiday event.
Chair Cotten indicated that it was a win-win situation because if the accountant
determines the commissions will not gain anything from proceeding, the money
would not be spent.
Mr. Creighton indicated that one of the Commission's responsibilities is to
regulate the franchise and noted it has not been done for five or six years and
that is why the process was begun.
Motion was made by Cotten and seconded by Goodman to AUTHORIZE THE
EXPENDITURE OF AN AMOUNT NOT TO EXCEED $3,200.00 TO FINALIZE
THE RATE AUDIT.

Commissioner Goodman commented that he had thought the consultant
agreement would be reviewed at this meeting.
Mr. Creighton indicated that Bruce had asked him to bring the information to the
meeting to be provided to the building committee for its next meeting. He then
indicated he had the information if Commissioner Goodman wished to review it.
Commissioner Jacobson questioned whether the studio committee has the
authority to make decisions on behalf of the Commission.
Mr. Creighton explained that the committee was given authorization to make
decisions and said it would be reviewing those decisions with the Chair and
bringing anything of significance before the full board for approval.

DATE: November 20, 2001
INTRODUCTION
After more than 11 + years of public service to the citizens of the City of Andover, Dave Carlberg
has accepted a position with the City of St. Cloud as their new Director of Planning.
DISCUSSION
Dave Carlberg has been with the City of Andover since August 27, 1990, serving as the City
Planner until June 22, 1994, at which time he was promoted to Planning Director. On June 27,
1996, Dave Carlberg's job title was changed to Director of Community Development to more
accurately reflect the changing nature of his responsibilities. In review of the eleven plus years
Dave has served the City and residents of this community, his performance record has been one
of distinction, accomplishment and leadership to both his peers and subordinates.
Notable projects Dave has been involved with included the elimination of Andover's numerous
junkyards that led to the development of the Andover Station, the preparation of the City's 2020
Comprehensive Plan and working with and overseeing numerous residential and commercial
developments since 1990 when the City's population was less than 15,000 people. Dave's
contributions have been varied and distinguished in leading the City's community development
efforts. He will be missed by his staff and co-workers.
Please join me and the rest of City staff in wishing him the best in his new position.
RECOMMENDATION
Mayor Gamache is respectfully requested to present a specially prepared plaque honoring Dave
Carlberg's public service to the City of Andover.
~mitted,

SUBJECT: Closure of City Hall on Monday December 24, 2001
DATE: November 20,2001
INTRODUCTION
The City Council is being requested to officially close City Hall on Monday, December 24, 200 I.
DISCUSSION
Due to Christmas Eve falling on a Monday this year, business operations at City Hall are anticipated to
be minimal with respect to the general public wanting to conduct business. Consequently, it is requested
that City Hall be declared officially closed by the City Council on December 24,2001. Since this is not
an official City holiday, any staff who would like to take the day off would be required to use their
floating holiday or vacation time. Conversely, any staff that would like to come in and work may still do
so, however, the offices would be officially closed to the public. In the event of a snow emergency,
maintenance staff would be available for service delivery activities.
BUDGET IMPACT
No budget impact since employees would be required to use their floating holiday, vacation time, or be in
to work.
ACTION REOUESTED
Council approval to officially close City Hall for public business on Monday, December 24, 2001.
Respectfully submitted,

SUBJECT: Approve Planning Consultant Services Agreement\NB District Study
DATE: November 20,2001
INTRODUCTION
At the November 6, 2001 Council meeting, Council, in response to citizen development
concerns, directed staff to obtain a quote for independent planning consultant services in support
of a contemplated moratorium on NB districts within the City.
DISCUSSION
My office contacted the firm of Northwest Associated Consultants, Inc. (NAC) with regards to
their performing an overall planning study of Neighborhood Business Districts to evaluate
whether the rezoning of certain NB districts is warranted due to changing community dynamics.
Attached is copy of a planning study proposal from Mr. Allan Brixius of NAC in support of
developing findings of fact that would authorize the rezoning of subject properties under review.
As recommended by the City Attorney at the November 6, 2001 meeting, an independent
planning study of NB districts within the city would provide the Council with an independent
means of developing legally defensible findings of fact in support of any potential rezoning
action. In addition, the planning study will allow staff to develop an appropriate text revision to
the City's 2020 Comprehensive Plan that would correlate with any subsequent rezoning action.
BUDGET IMPACT
NAC proposes a professional services fee of $5,700 for the study, with an additional $250 for
attendance per meeting per NAC staff member. It anticipated that at least two to three meetings
may be necessary at both the Council and Planning and Zoning Commission levels to present
their findings and respond to questions from the public. Funding for this expenditure is available
within the 2001 Budget, with a portion of this cost potentially assignable to the EDA, subject to
EDA approval.
ACTION REQUIRED
Consider approval of NAC planning consultant services to evaluate NB districts for possible
rezoning action, along with appropriate findings in support of any subsequent zoning actions.

RE: Andover Neighborhood Business District Zoning Study
FILE NO: 802
Dear Mr. Erar:
Thank you for the opportunity to meet with you and your staff to discuss the City's desire
to conduct a study of the Neighborhood Business Zoning Districts within the City.
The City has identified five undeveloped sites currently zoned NBt Neighborhood
Business. The sites were originally zoned prior to the development of the residential
neighborhoods which now surround them. The City wishes to re-evaluate these sites and
their zoning in the context of current conditions to determine if the present zoning and
related land uses are still appropriate for the sites.
Comprehensive Plan
The Comprehensive Plan lays the foundation for all land use planning and zoning. NAC
will review the City's recent Comprehensive Plan and outline the applicable land use
policies and recommendations that pertain to the study sites.
Once the Comprehensive Plan summary is complete, NAC will meet with City staff to
discuss the findings and to receive confirmation as to whether the plan recommendations
reflect current commercial development philosophies.
If the Comprehensive Plan reflects current City philosophy, NAC will proceed with the site
studies. If the City philosophy has changed since the plan was drafted, changes to the
Comprehensive Plan text will be suggested.

Development Regulations
A detailed review of the Andover development regulations will be conducted. Specifically,
NAC will review and evaluate the purpose and performance standards of Andover's
commercial zoning districts. This review will provide insight as to the appropriateness of
the Neighborhood Business District for the related sites.
Site Evaluation
In evaluating the appropriateness of the current zoning, each site will be evaluated against
the following criteria:
1. Consistency with the Andover Comprehensive Plan.
2. Compatibility with current or future land uses.
3. Conformance with current zoning performance standards.
4. Impact on City services and utilities.
5. Impact on local transportation systems.
6. Was the original zoning an error or have conditions changed that warrant
reconsideration of the present zoning classification?
7. What alternative land useslzoning may be appropriate for the site?
In undertaking the site evaluation, the following steps should be undertaken:
Inventorv
1. A review of the site and zoning history.
2. A physical evaluation of the site including parcel configuration, topography, etc.
3. Inventory of land uses surrounding the site as well as competitive commercial
locations within the City.
4. Evaluation of site access and traffic generation.
5. Public utility availability.
Analvsis
Based on the seven aforementioned review criteria, findings and specific zoning
recommendations shall be prepared for each site for consideration by the City Council.
An initial draft shall be provided for City staff review. The final draft of the study may be
modified or added to respond to outstanding staff questions or concerns.

Conclusion
At the conclusion of the Neighborhood Business District Study, the City will have a detailed
evaluation of each NB zoned site and recommendations for zoning along with appropriate
'findings.
Budget/Schedule
Based on the tasks involved, we estimate that the project production will be at a cost not
to exceed $5,700.00. This budget amount does not include public meetings. We would
propose to charge a flat rate of $250.00 per public meeting per staff member.
We would anticipate that the project would be completed within 12 weeks of project
authorization.
If you have any questions pertaining to the aforementioned work program, please contact
me at your convenience.
Sincerely,
