The Andover City Council is requested to determine how the 1994
Social Service Pool Funds are to be awarded to those social
service agencies requesting funding. The City has $30,000
allocated to this project with 1994 requests totaling $25,330.
The City has, for what is believed the first time in Andover CDSG
history, excess funds to allocate to public service agencies. The
Council must decide how the remaining $4,670 should be allocated.
The Council may choose to allocate the remaining balance to
specific agencies or spread the amount over the entire group
proportionately.

Wasteco Site
BY~

The City Council discussed the condition of the Wasteco
property as described in the Braun Engineering Report of a
phase I Environmental Study on April 14th. It was a consensus of
the Council at that time that further consideration of the
alignment of the Wasteco property would be necessary before any
decision on a purchase could be carried forward.
The City's option on the Wasteco property is due to expire soon.
It is a recommendation of staff to let the option expire and to
discontinue pursuit of the site unless some type of division of
the property can be accomplished.
Council Action Requested
At this time the Council should take action to either extend the
option on the purchase or to let it lapse.

Roof Proposal
~
BY:

Recently staff discussed the condition of the roofs on the City
Hall Building and the Public Works Garage. Due to the complexity
of these projects, staff feels that it is in the best interest of
the City to have a roof evaluation and recommendation made by a
consulting firm.
The City has received a proposal from GME Consultants, Inc. to
review the afore mentioned existing roof system components, roof
I structure and roof details. Attached with this item is the
complete evaluation proposal as submitted. The fee for such work
would be $800.
It is staff's recommendation that an evaluation of the roof
systems be made before the City proceeds with any remedial
action.

(Approve 1994 Soccer Schedule, Continued)
Mr. May _ expressed reservations about the City charging a fee to use "
the soccer fields. The more they raise the fees, the fewer players they
get. The Commission explained other developing cities have charged fees
for years. It is needed to keep the fields in good condition.

1994 PARK CAPITAL BUDGET, CONTINUED
J
Cheryl Porteson. Hidden Creek - stated many people used the skating rink
at the Hidden Creek park. They would like some swings in the park if
possible. She also asked about getting "No Parking" signs on Bunker
Lake Boulevard and planting trees along that road. Mr. Starr stated the
proposal calls for a swing set and a basketball court. The basketball
court would be where the ice rink is now, and the ice rink can be put
over the court in the winter. He does not want to plant trees along
Bunker Lake Boulevard until he knows for sure where the boulevard will
be after the reconstruction. There are also plans for a tarred path
~ around the park. The Commission asked that Mr. Haas contact the county
regarding "No Parking" signs on Bunker Lake Boulevard.
Mr. Starr stated he met with the Gametime representative today, who
sketched a plan for the Meadows of Round Lake Park. The proposed
equipment would cost $7,230 including tax and freight. The
representative also felt comfortable with what the City is doing to meet
the ADA requirements.
Because Mr. Otto was present to discuss the City Hall Complex #2 plans,
the Commission agreed to go to that agenda item, returning to the budget
following that discussion.
CITY HALL PARK COMPLEX 12, WATER ISSUE
j
Merlin Otto. Hakanson-Anderson - reviewed the plan for the park. One
concern is the issue of having to re-establish turf 14 days after
grading and having to coordinate that with possible sewer and water
extension and installation of sprinkler systems. The question of the
water is whether the sprinkler system will be run from the municipal
system or from a separate well. That will make a difference in the size
of the line that is run to the concession building. They will also have
to determine whether the water line will be run to the building
diagonally from its existing location, or whether the utilities will be
run up the eastern property line so the water line can then be run
directly west to the building. Decisions on these items affect the
cost considerably.
In discussing the issue of sprinkling the fields from the municipal
system or from a separate well, Mr. Otto noted what other cities do and

The School Board of AnOka.Hennepin Independent School District #11 has
set June 7. 1994 to conduct a second special school bond election.
Since your facility is not designated as a polling place for the school district
bond election. you will probably not receive direct information concerning
this election. We do, however, want to make this information available to
you in case you receive phone calls concerning this election and also if the
election judges in your city contact you for materials. The enclosed sample
notice of the election as it is being published and posted at the polls should
be of help to you.
Both Anoka and Hennepin County election supervisors have been very
helpful in working with our district to facilitate this election. I may be
contacting you again regarding voting booths but if you should have any
questions or comments before then you may call me at 422-5622. I enjoy

MinQ.esota Pollution Control Agency
A Superfund Fact Sheet on
South Andover:
EPA and MPCA Propose Changes to Soil Cleanup Plan.
April 1994
This fact sheet, prepared by the
U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency (EP A) and the Minnesota
Pollution Control Agency (MPCA), .
presents the amended proposed
plan for cleanup of the organically
contaminated soil at the South
Andover Superfund Site in
Andover, Minnesota. The original
cleanup plan was documented in
the legal Record of Decision
(ROD), published by EP A in
December 1991. That plan
included the following features:
. excavation of 11,400 cubic yards
of contaminated soil;
. biological treatment of 2,100
cubic yards of soil organically
contaminated with polynuclear
aromatic hydrocarbons (CPAHs,
chemicals typically found in
creosote and coal-tar products);
. disposal of 9,300 cubic yards of
predominantly metal-
contaminated soil; and
o replacement of excavated soil
with clean soil from the site.'
During the Remedial Investigation
of the site, the volume of
organically contaminated soil was
estimated to be 2,100 cubic yards.
I
However, based on actual soil
samples taken in 1993, only 250
cubic yards of organically
contaminated soil needs treatment.
Because of this significantly
smaller volume of soil, the EP A
and MPCA are proposing to amend
the original cleanup plan to replace
biological treatment of the
organically contaminated soil with
one of two forms of off-site
thermal treatment, either rotary kiln
incineration or thermal desorption
(see descriptions of these
technologies on page two). For the
volume of soil now known to be on
site, either of these u'lermal
alternatives would be more cost-
effective and could be completed in
less time than the biological
treatment originally proposed.
After all the metal- and organically
. contaminated soil has been
excavated, ground water would be
monitored for three years to ensure
that the ground-water performance
standard has been met. Under the
amended cleanup plan, no

con inated soil would remain

fu ground-water contamination
d be effectively removed.
A tionally, this proposed
ame dment serves to update the
um Contaminant Levels
s) for ground water. MCLs
e maximum pennissible level
of a ontaminant in water that is
deli ered to any user of a public
wat system. MCLs are the
grou d-water perfonnance standard
for e site.
Befi re making a decision about the
prop sed amendment, the EPA and
MP A will accept and consider the
vie s and opinions of community
resi nts and others interested in
the leanup of the site. To gather
com ents from the public, EPA
and CA have scheduled a
com ent period and a public
mee . ng (please see announcement
on p ge one).
is the history of the site?
Starting in 1973, Anob County
and the MPCA made numerous
attempts to compel the property
owners to handle their wastes
. properly. An investigation by
EPA, from 1985 to 1988, found
ground water at the site to be
contaminated with metals, volatile
organic compounds (VOCs), and
semi-volatile organic compounds
(SVOCs), some at levels slightly
above the acceptable MCL
standard. (VOCs and SVOCs are
solvent-like chemicals. VOCs
change from liquids to gases at
relatively low temperatures;
SVOCs change at higher
temperatures.) Additional ground-
water investigations perfonned in
1991 indicated that the previously
detected contaminants were
generally below the acceptable
MCL standard.
What is the new proposed soil
remedy?
The EP A and MPCA are proposing
that the organically contaminated
soil from the South Andover site be
excavated and transported off-site
for treatment with either rotary kiln
incineration or low-temperature
thennal desorption.
The O-acre South Andover
Sup rfund site, located south of
Bu er Lake Blvd. and west of
Han on Blvd. in Andover, includes
sev privately owned parcels .of
Ian that have been used over the For rotary kiln incineration, the
ye for disposal of industrial . contaminated soil would be placed
was e, junked vehicles, and an in a cylindrical, refractory-lined,
. es' ated three million tires. In ..' rotating kiln and heated until
'ad . 'on, two tire fires occurred at combustion results in breakdown
the ite, one in 1988 and the other and destruction of the organic
in 1 89. compounds. Ash and exhaust
. gases would be c.ollected and
".' - t'".' _ ".-"
,.
treated as necessary. Incineration
is a well-established technology
that has a contaminant-destruction
rate of 99.99 percenL
Low-temperature thennal
desorption (LTID) reduces the
volume and mobility of wastes by
separating and collecting the
organic contaminants. Although
L TID would use heat to treat the
soil, it is not incineration because it
does not destroy the contaminants.
As the soil is heated (roasted) in
the desorber, the organic
contaminants volatilize and are
collected. Then, the collected
contaminants would be treated with
either an afterburner or carbon
filtering.
Organically contaminated soil has
been successfully treated with
LTID. Selection ofLTID as the
treatment of choice would be
dependent on assurance that the
selected desorber would be able to
adequately treat the soil..
As proposed, both thennal
treatments of contaminated soil
would take place off-site.
How do the old and new remedies
compare?
Staff from the EPA and MPCA
evaluated each of these proposed
cleanup technologies against the
. following cleanup criteria
developed by EP A:
. .-.. ~ . ....,.. .. .,
-.
Pag.e Three
Overall protection ofpubIic health
and the environment. To what
degree does the change in soil
treatment eliminate, reduce, or .
CDntrol threats to public health and
the environment?
Either of the new soil remedies
could be completed in less time
(three to four months) than
biological treatment (two years).
Earlier completion of soil treatment
would remove the source of
potential ground-water
contamination at the site and
reduce the public's potential
exposure to both soil and ground":
water contamination.
Compliance with state and federal
re~ulations. Does the cleanup
change meet environmental or
other regulations?
Both of the new proposed remedies
and the old remedy meet all of the
federal and state environmental
laws concerning soil-cleanup
levels.
QlS1.. How do the costs of the new
proposals compare to that of the
original?
The estimated cost for biological
treatment of the organically
contaminated soil (volume
estimated at 2,100 cubic yards in
1991) was $2.4 million.
Incineration of the organically'
contaminated soil (volume now
known to be 250 cubic yards)
would cost $67,000. Low-
temperature thennal desorption
would cost $60,000.
Implementability. Is the
appropriate technology available?
Technology is available for the
original and both of the new
proposed thennal treatment plans.
Both a fixed-site rotary kiln
incinerator and low-temperature
thennal desorbers are available in
the local area. The incinerator
holds a valid operating pennit; the
selected desorber would need to be
issued a permit by the MPCA for
the treatmenL
Short-term effectiveness. Does
implementation of the cleanup
change pose any risks to workers
and nearby residents?
Soil excavation, part of the original .
proposal and both of the new ones,
would cause temporary dust, noise,
and traffic at the site. Because both
of the new proposals would take .
the soil off-site, on-site activities

wo ld be of significantly less
d tion than with the original soil
cle up plan. Health and safety
pI s would require that all
wo leers, whether on-site or off-
sit be adequately protected during
theworlc.
v Will the
de up change be reliable in
pro ecting public health and the
en onment over many years?
All f the proposals (the original,
to eat biologically; the new plans,
to eat with incineration or thermal
des rption) would result in removal
and destruction of the organically
con inated soil. Ground-water
mo itoring, ensured under the
gro nd-water ROD, would provide
info ation on the effectiveness of
the oil remedy and would ensure
con 'nued ground-water quality on
the ite.
The riginally proposed remedy
(bioI gical treatment) would
effe tively reduce the volume of
org ically contaminated soil. The
new roposals, either thermal
deso tion or incineration, would
!
reduce the toxicity, mobility, and
volume of organically
contaminated soil.
State acceptance. Does MPCA
support or oppose EP A's proposed
ROD change?
The State of Minnesota supports
the proposed amendment.
Community acceptance What
comments do local residents and
other members of the public have
about the proposed ROD
amendment? Does the public
support or oppose the changes?
Community opinion is an important
part of the Superfund process. The
community is encouraged to review
the proposed changes to the soil
ROD and other technical
documents related to the site. Any
comments on the proposed
amended soil ROD offered during
the 30-day comment period will be
reviewed by the EP A and MPCA.
These comments may cause the
agencies to modify the proposed
changes. All comments and the
agencies' responses to them will be
included in the Responsiveness
Summary of the amended Record
of Decision.

History
l
L.J
Springsted is one of the oldest continuing financial advisory firms in the
nation, engaged solely in the activity of-providing financial advisory
services to issuers of tax-exempt and taxable municipal obligations.
Springsted does not participate in underwriting profits or commissions of
its clients' offerings.
-,
J
...,
I
L.J
"
I
L.J
Springsted first began serving local jUrisdictions primarily in the states of
Minnesota and Wisconsin. Over the last two decades it has become a firm
of national stature, serving clients in 25 states and the District of Columbia.
Since the advent of federal tax reform, Springsted has increased both the
number and diversity of its clients and staff. This growth is particularly
noteworthy given the wholesale reductions occurring elsewhere in the
public finance industry,
J
...,
tJ
Springsted is headquartered in Saint Paul, Minnesota and has additional
offices in Minneapolis, Minnesota; Milwaukee, Wisconsin; Overland Park,
Kansas and Washington, D,C,

Experience
In addition to being one of the oldest advisory firms, Springsted is also
among the largest independent public finance advisory firms in the nation.
During the period from 1987 to date, Springsted was the financial advisor
on over 2,400 competitive and negotiated sales totaling more than
$12,8 billion, This level of activity requires Springsted to maintain daily
access to capital markets; as a result, we have a constant awareness of
the market factors that determine the success of capital financing
programs,
1
.J
Behind these numbers lies a wealth of experience in serving a wide variety
of clients confronting very diverse financial issues, This experience
ensures that when Springsted sits down with a client to analyze its
particular situation, Springsted can move rapidly to present workable
solutions, individually tailored to the needs of that client. Springsted's staff
is called on frequently to provide management services on a special
contract basis involving the development of computer cash flow modeling,
analyses of debt refunding and defeasance, capital improvement and debt
capacity studies, the review of legislative and regulatory proposals
affecting clients, and the development of alternative cost recovery
methods,

Independence
Springsted is an independent financial advisor with no relationship to any
underwriting firm. Therefore, we can b~ completely objective in advising
our clients on the structuring and marketing of their debt offerings.
Springsted has taken this position because firms that perform both
advisory and underwriting functions have an inherent conflict of interest
that may ultimately lead to compromises in client service.
Our independence places us in a unique position of being able to
objectively evaluate unsolicited financing proposals submitted by
investment bankers to our clients. A complete independent analysis of
such proposals usually results in a better structured program from our
client's viewpoint, or outright rejection by our client due to ultimate
financing costs, potential risk, or other factors.
Springsted is one of twelve charter members of the National Association of
Independent Public Finance Advisors, formed in 1989 for the purpose of
concentrating the efforts of independent advisors on improving the service
and support provided to public agencies, and to protect the best interests
of those public agencies served by advisors.
The member independent advisors represent a national composite of firms
who have met strict criteria relating to past performance, competence and
stability, and who are wholly unencumbered by any affiliation with
underwriting and investment banking agency organizations.
The Association's goal is to develop and promote rigid ethical and
professional standards for public finance advisors, and to serve as a
legislative ally and informational resource for public agencies,
Commitment to Highest Quality Service
Springsted takes great pride in the quality, responsiveness and scope of
its service. We take the time at the beginning of the financing process to
examine all available options in order to design a financing program that
best meets the client's immediate and long-term needs,
Our service does not stop after the completion of a financing program. We
continue to be a source of information for our clients, answering general
municipal finance questions and monitoring the market for opportunities to
refund existing debt at lower rates.

Transportation Group
Springsted recognizes the special financing needs of transportation
infrastructure providers. No two projects are exactly alike, which
necessitates developing individualized financing plans. Our experience
spans the spectrum of infrastructure types, revenue sources, funding
vehicles, and includes joint public/private ventures. Below is a listing of
some of the facilities for which Springsted has assisted in providing project
feasibility analysis and, when appropriate, financing:

Springsted has actively encouraged leveraging the private sector to
finance projects in appropriate situations. Private developments can be as
simple as design-build projects or as complicated as mixed-use
developments. The financing options available to public jurisdictions
include retail space development, development rights, air rights
leasing/sales and development contributions in various federal programs.
To the extent the private sector is not fully funding a given project,
Springsted can assist the public sector in the sale of taxable or tax-exempt
securities to fund the public sector portion.

Public Education Group

Providing adequate facilities for both primary and secondary education is
the focus of the Public Education Gr~up. The process of funding
educational needs often begins with a referendum, Our service to schools
begins with pre-referendum activities, referendum assistance, capital
financial planning, cash flow analysis and eventually culminates in debt
issuance services. The Group has assisted in financing or refinancing the
full complement of school needs ranging from cash flow financing to
funding for new schools and includes funding equipment leases or
purchases,

Hiaher Education Group
Since 1966, Springsted has served as financial advisor to public
institutions, private institutions, state associations of independent
institutions and state financing authorities in connection with the issuance
of over $1,9 billion of tax-exempt and taxable bonds to finance higher
education facilities, Because of this broad range of experience, we are
sensitive to the public policy considerations in any debt issuance, the
special concerns of "conduit" issuers such as higher education facilities
authorities and the financing objectives, policies and constraints of a wide
variety of public and private colleges and universities, Individual
financings have ranged in size from as little as $340,000 to as much as
$113 million, and have involved the whole spectrum of credits from
unrated to stand-alone "M's." A full range of financing techniques, from
bond insurance to zero-coupon bonds to interest rate swaps have been
employed, where appropriate and to the benefit of the issuer. We believe
no other independent financial advisor has the breadth or depth of
experience in higher education that Springsted can bring to an advisory
engagement.

We believe the following seven items should be considered when selecting
a financial advisor. Firms exhibiting these qualities may be generally
characterized as stable and committed to quality service both today and
tomorrow. Below we discuss the importance of each attribute.
.
Independence
Length of Employee Tenure
Longevity of Client Relationships
Prudent Approach to Innovation
Commitment to Quality
Industry Leadership
Going Concern

o
Independence. One of the most crucial decisions clients will make in
choosing a financial advisor is whether to select a truly independent
advisor or an advisor who is part of a bank or brokerage firm. While
the outright prohibition from underwriting any debt used to finance
the client's project helps to assure objectivity of bank or brokerage
firm affiliates, it fails to acknowledge one overwhelming advantage of
a truly independent financial advisor; access to information.
Underwriters are reluctant to share their most innovative, proprietary
financing ideas with prospective clients who have ties to the
underwriting community. Divulging an idea is likely to result in
competing against your own idea on the next deal. On the other
hand, truly independent financial advisors do not buy or sell
securities. In this respect, the independent financial advisor does not
compete with the investment banking community. For this reason
there is a greater sharing of ideas between these two groups.
o
Length of employee tenure, As it continues to attract and retain
new staff, Springsted has remarkably low employee turnover. Most of
Springsted's professional staff have been with the firm for five years
or more; many have been with the firm for upwards of ten years.
Although the firm has recently hired a number of additional
professionals, the firm's finance professionals have an average
tenure of seven years with Springsted, The seven senior officers of
the firm collectively have over 150 years of experience in municipal
finance.
o
Longevity of client relationships. While virtually every firm in the
public finance industry proclaims its orientation toward establishing
and maintaining long-term relationships, few have achieved the kind
of track record Springsted has in this area. It is not uncommon for
Springsted client relationships to go back fifteen, twenty, or even
l

thirty years. As the field has grown more competitive and
fragmented, Springsted's market share has actually grown. Because
of the quality of service we provide on every transaction, including
many that our competitors might regard as merely routine, our clients
stay with us, and referrals from existing clients account for a
substantial portion of the firm's new business.

o A prudent approach to innovation. Springsted is proud of its record
of innovation in several areas of municipal finance, We are equally
proud, however, of our approach to innovation. If new techniques
are required to meet the needs of our clients, we are quick to develop
and implement those new techniques, We do not advocate
innovation for innovation's sake, however. Because of our high
degree of client orientation, we recognize that an innovative solution
to one client's problem may not be the answer for another client, and
we are inherently skeptical of so-called "deals dujour," newly
developed financing structures that are often marketed on a
wholesale basis nationwide regardless of suitability to specific client
needs,

. Commitment to quality. For decades, Springsted's professionals
have been motivated more by pride in a job well done than by purely
financial considerations, We do our jobs because we genuinely
enjoy being of assistance to our clients, The recurring question "Is
this in the issuer's best interest?" is deeply ingrained in Springsted's
corporate culture, As a result, Springsted clients generally receive a
level and quality of service that goes significantly beyond what other
firms provide. One objective measure of this commitment is that over
the past six years, the Government Finance Officers Association of
the United States and Canada has presented its annual Award for
Excellence in Debt Management only five times; on all five occasions,
this award was presented to Springsted clients for programs that
Springsted was instrumental in developing and implementing. One of
these recipients - the City of Saint Paul -- also received the
GFOA's prestigious Louisville Award, which is presented only in
recognition of extraordinary achievements. The City of Minneapolis
received an award from the National Conference of Mayors for
development of the first debt management policies dealing with
variable rate debt. These policies were drafted by Springsted's staff.

. Industry leadership, Springsted is proud to have been involved in
the founding of the National Association of Independent Public
Finance Advisors, Springsted is one of twelve charter members of
NAIPFA, and Springsted's director, Robert D. Pulscher, is a member

of the Association's Board of Directors. NAIPFA was formed in 1989
for the purpose of concentrating the efforts of independent advisors
on improving the service and support provided to their clients, and to
protect the best interests of those .entities served by advisors. The
twelve charter member independent advisors represent a national
composite of firms who have met strict criteria relating to past
performance, competence and stability, and who are wholly
unencumbered by any affiliation with underwriting and investment
banking agency organizations, The Association's goal is to develop
and promote rigid ethical and professional standards for public
finance advisors, and to serve as a legislative ally and informational
resource for their clients.

Going concern. At a time when the financial services industry as a
whole, and many leading firms within it, have experienced significant
consolidation and retrenchment, Springsted has been expanding.
Within the past three years, Springsted has acquired a smaller
financial advisory firm; purchased the financial advisory group of a
major investment banking firm; and recruited additional professional
and support staff to service a growing client base. Springsted is one
of few independent financial advisory firms in the nation that has
been able to obtain and maintain in force a policy insuring it against
professional malpractice. This not only reflects the consistently high
quality of services rendered by the firm, but also reflects our
insurance carrier's confidence in the firm's long-term viability.
