Dated this 6t" day of January, 2015. : ATTEST: Chrissy Serres, City Clerk Jim Adams, Mayor CONSENT AGENDA #4 : Memorandum ��r� ' fiRYSTAL ,..6 i� DATE: December 23, 2014 TO: Mayor and City Council Anne Norris, City Manager FROM: Charles Hansen, Finance Director RE: Consideration of a resolution designating Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. Crystal Branch as the City's official depository for the year 2015. Background The City of Crystal's Investment Policy calls for the designation of a bank as the official depository. As a matter of practice, the City Council has affirmed this selection at the first meeting of the year. Well Fargo Bank N.A. has been the depository for many years. Discussion Wells Fargo provides the City with an extensive range of banking services. These include the following: • Checking Account. This gives us the ability to write checks to pay for goods and services and to deposit revenues received by the City. • ACH transactions. All employee paychecks are in the form of direct deposit transactions and many transactions such as tax withholding payments to the federal and state governments are made this way. Wells Fargo provides a fraud filter that reduces the chance of loss through fraudulent transactions. • Wire transfers. These are used to transfer money to other banks that serve as the paying agent for principal and interest payments on the City's bonded debt and to settle the purchase of properties. Merchant banking. This is an essential component of the credit card service that enables the City to have the E-Permits, Crystal Connect (recreation) and Infinity Link (utility billing) programs. These are the services that allow customers to purchase certain building permits, register for recreation programs and pay utility bills online. CONSENT AGENDA #4 • Money market account. Money that isn't immediately needed in the checking account, but may be needed in the near future, is deposited in this account. • Investment broker. Wells Fargo Securities is one of the brokers from whom we purchase investment securities. The others are RBC Dain Rauscher and Wells Fargo Advisors (formerly Wachovia Securities). Buying from several brokers insures competitive prices for the securities purchased. Safe keeping of investment securities. Securities purchased from any of the investment brokers are held at Wells Fargo Brokerage Services. The securities are protected by insurance from the Securities Investor Protection Corporation up to $500,000 and by additional insurance up to $150,000,000 purchased by Wells Fargo. Wells Fargo has charged the City of Crystal $11,363.06 for these services (except merchant banking) for January through November 2014. Wells Fargo also credits the City a money market rate on the money that is in the checking account waiting for checks to clear. These earnings are offset against the charges for services, but aren't paid out to the city if they exceed the charges for services. Through November, the earnings credit equals $984.25, so the services cost the City $10,378.81. The extremely low interest rates earned by the money in the checking account result in this net expense being much larger than in past years. Merchant banking fees paid for the credit card sales are a percentage of the sale plus a fixed fee per transaction. We surveyed merchant banks in 2006 for the City Hall and Community Center credit card terminals and found that Wells Fargo's fees were competitive with the others. We surveyed banks again in 2012 for the new Infinity Link utility billing website and found that Wells Fargo's fees are lower than other merchant banks. We decided that it will be more efficient for us administratively to have these services under the Wells Fargo umbrella. Conclusion I recommend that the City Council approve the resolution designating Wells Fargo Bank N.A. as the City's official depository for the year 2015. CONSENT AGENDA #4 City of Crystal RESOLUTION NO. 2015- RESOLUTION DESIGNATING WELLS FARGO BANK, N.A. — CRYSTAL BRANCH AS THE CITY'S OFFICIAL DEPOSITORY FOR THE YEAR 2015 WHEREAS, the City of Crystal's Investment Policy calls for the designation of a bank as the City's official depository, and WHEREAS, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. has filled that function and provided a full range of services for several years. NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council hereby designates Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. — Crystal Branch as the City's official depository for the year 2015. BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Finance Director and Assistant Finance Director are authorized to administer all banking and investment transactions necessary for the secure and efficient operation of the City.

Jim Adams, Mayor ATTEST: Chrissy Serres, City Clerk RE GULAR AGENDA REGULAR AGENDA #1 COUNCIL STAFF REPORT 4939 Vera Cruz and 4938 Welcome Shift Rear Lot Line FROM: Jahn Sutter, City Plar�nerlAssistant Community De�elopment Director� DEPARTMENT HEAD REVIEW: Patrick Peters, Community Development Director �(/� DATE: TO: December 23, 2014 Anne Norris, City Manager [for January 6 meeting) SUBJECT: Consider a resolution shifting the rear lot line between 4939 Vera Cruz A�enue North and 4938 Welcome A�enue North 45 feet east of its present location (item continued from December 16 meeting} A. BACKGROUND The subject properties are as follows: � 4939 Vera Cruz Avenue North (09-118-21-24-4036), legally described as Lot 9, Ki�kwood's First Addition to Crystal Village, Hennepin County, Minnesota, and containing 10,200 sq. ft. (0.23 acres) • 4938 Welcome Avenue North (09-118-21-24-aD43), legally described as Lot 6, Schroeder's Addition, Hennepin County, Minnesota, con#aining 6,000 sq. ft. (0.1 � acres). Both s�bject praperties and adjacent properties are zoned R-1 Low Density Residential and are improved with single family houses. The owner and applicant, Greg and Pam Rood, li�e in the house at 4938 Weicome. They also own and are planning to sell the �acant house a� 4939 Vera Cruz. The owner desires to increase the size of their 4938 Welcome property while downsizing the 4939 Vera Cruz property. To tha# end they propose to detach the west 45 feet of 4939 Vera Cruz and attach it to 4938 Welcome, which would shift the lot I�ne 45 feet east of its present location. Notice of the Planning Commission's December 8 public hearing was mailed to property owners wi#hin 35D fee# and published in the Sun Post an November 26. No written comments have been received. Howe�er, neigl�bors testified at the h�aring abo�t a n�mber of concerns which are addressed on page 3. PAGE 9 QF 4 REGULAR AGENDA #1 On December 8 the Planning Commission voted 8-0 to recommend approval of the lot line shift. On Decemb�r 1 F, after taking testimony regarding the neighbor concerns discussed on page 3), the Council voted 7-0 to continu� its consideration of this item to January 6 to provide additional #ime for Council members to view the property. The following Exhibits are attached: A. Historical aerial photos B. 2012 aerial photo C. Mark-�p of 2012 aerial photo showing new lot line D. Mark-up of 198$ survey of adjacent property (4945 Vera Cruz) showing location of existing detached garage in relatEon to proposed rear lot {ine E. Propos�d Resolution prepared by City Attorney B. STAFF C�MMENTS After the �ealignment of the rear lot line, the parcel dimensions would change as #ollows: ADDRESS CURRENT DIMENSIONS PROPOSED DIMEN510NS 4939 Vera Cruz 60 x 170 = 10,20Q sq. ft. 60 x 125 = 7,500 sq. ft. 4938 Welcome 60 x 100 = 6,000 sq. ft. 60 x 145 = 8,700 sq. ft. 4939 Vera Cruz would still conform to the minimum lot dimensions required for #he R-1 district: 60 feet wide, 100 feet deep and 7,500 sq. ft. area {all three must be met). 4938 Welcome would become a conforming lot (it is currently nonconforming as to lot area}. Realignment of the rear !ot lir�e would no# create any nonconformities to the city's setback, lot co�erage or related zoning requirements, provided that the owner remo�es the existing concrete slab located behind the 4939 Vera Cruz garage. Staff recommends that this be a required condition of appro�aL The owner has stated that they ha�e already removed t�e slab. It is important to note that the existing utility lines will remain in their present location along the existing rear lot line. This means #hey will pass through the middle af what wii! be 4938 Welcome's (now larger) rear yard. Whi1e this is nat ideal, it is also not unprecedentec� in an older cammunity where lot lines change many years after private utilities are installed. However, because there is no easement for these utility lines, staff recammends that the city require the owner ta grant a drainage & utility easement along the existing utility lines. The owner has indicated that they would not object to this requirement. PAGE 2 OF �4 REGULAR AGENDA #1 As mentioned in Section A— Background, several concerns were raised in neighbor testimony at the Planning Commission's public heari�g. Whi1e these concerns do not pro�ide cause to deny #he realignment of the 1ot line, staff met on-site with the neighbors on December 9 ta discuss their concerns. • Regarding the viability of the remaining 4939 Vera Cruz property: It is true that the downsized 4939 Vera Cruz �roperty will have less rear yard thar� at present, anc� that it will be 45 fe�t shallower than mast other lots on tha# side of the street. However, its proposed dimensions o# 60x125 (7,500 sq. ft.) meet the city's minimum lot size requirements. After the lot line shift, there would still be roam to build a new garage somewhat south (se� ne�ct item) and as much as 4 feet west of its present location and still meet the city's setback and lot co�erage requirements. While such an arrangement may be less than ideal, it is not unusual for a house in Crystal to ha�e a detached garage and dri�eway take up a much gr�ater share of a rear yard than presently exis�s at 4939 Vera Cruz. • Regarding the longstanding encroachmer�t o� 4939 Vera Cruz's garage appraximately two feet onto the property at 4945 Vera Cruz: The garage at 4939 Vera Cruz was built in 1952 when both 4939 and 4945 Vera Cruz were owned by the same person. The garage encroaches as much as 1.8 feet onto the 4945 lot. In 1989, w�en the owner sold the lot at 4945 Vera Cruz, the deed included easement language allowing the encroachment "so long as said garage exists". On multiple occasions over many years, city staff have told inquiring parties (including current and former owners} that the encroachment is a title issue to be resolved by the owners, including a legal praceeding in ci�il court if necessary. • Regarding the condit�on of the garage at 4939 Vera Cruz, and the unlawful use of the property for parking and storage of vehicles, trailers and ma#erials: These are current, ongoing code enforcement cases. In September 2014 the city sent a final extension notice for repair or rema�al of the garage at 4939 Vera Cruz. The compiiance date is Aprif 30, 2015. If the garage is not either repaired or demolished by that date, staff will seek a court order to demolish the garage and assess the property for the cost. Staff continues to take action regardir�g unlawful parking and storage on the property when these violations are brought to our attention. C. ADDITIONAL CONDITIONS RECOMMEN�ED BY CITY ATTORNEY Staff drafted the proposed lot line resolutior� and easement documents for review by the City Attorney. To ensure tha# the realignment of the lot line occ�rs as intended, and tha# future title prablems are not created, the attorney recomm�nds that the following conditions be imposed: PAGE 3 0F 4 REGULAR AGENDA #1 1. Applicant must obtain release of the mortgage on the West 45 feet of 4939 Vera Cruz. This is necessary because, after the realignment of the lot lir�e, in the event of foreclosure, the west 45 f�et of 4939 Vera Cruz would effecti�ely become a separate, landlocked �arcel that would not be part of either �938 Welcome or 4939 Vera Cruz. 2. Applicant must obtain the consent of lenders to Easement on 4938 Welcome. This is necessary because, without consents, in the e�ent of foreclosure, thE property would not be subject to #he easement. 3. Applicant must obtain the consent of I�nder #o Easement on 4939 Vera Cruz. This is necessary because, without consent, in the e�ent of foreclosure, the property would not be subject to the easement. Note: This requirement would be unnecessary if the release of mortgage o�er the west 45 feet of 4939 Vera Cruz {#1 abo�e) is recorded prior to this Easement. 4. Refeases, Consents and Easements must be recorded prior to the Resolution. 5. Applicant must execute and file with the Hennepin County Taxpayer Services the Reques# for Lot Di�isionlCombination with a copy of the Resolution. 6. If Resoiution is to be recorded in 2015, Hennepin County will require that all real estate taxes paya�le in 2015 must be paid in full prior to recording. 7. Applicant must pay all costs of recording. D. PLANNING COMMISSION RECOMMENDATION At its December 8 meeting the Planning Commission voted 8-� to recomm�nd appro�al of the re�uested realignment of the rear lot line between �939 Vera Cruz and 4938 Welcome subject to the conditions recommended by staff (Section B above). The Council motion should include by reference the conditions in Section B and also the conditions recommended by the City Attorney in Section C. Council action is requested.
