The plans and specifications are now complete and the next step is to ask the City Council to approve the plans and specifications and order the advertisement for bids. DISCUSSION The overall project includes 5.1 miles of roadway reconstruction and will special assess 400 properties. Staff and consultant held an open house on Thursday January 15, at City Hall, and presented the construction plans. Approximately 40 residents attended this meeting. There were many questions asked about the project; no opposition was expressed. Some of the comments made at the open house and in conversations with staff have been incorporated into the plans. Staff is anticipating the following schedule: Bid Date City Council Review of Bids & Set Date for Final Assessment Hearing Final Assessment Hearing Start Construction FINANCIAL IMPACT March 12, 2015 March 17, 2015 April 21, 2015 Beginning of May The total estimated project cost is $6,049,538, which is an increase of $212,000 from the feasibility study. The estimated costs are due to two items — 1. Additional storm sewer replacement is required to help alleviate flooding along Elmhurst Avenue, and 2. 7.1 Additional curb and gutter is needed to be replaced. The project will be funded through the sale of municipal bonds and ultimately funded through a combination of Minnesota State Aid (MSA) Highway funds, Storm Drain Utility Funds, Street Reconstruction Fund balance, and special assessments levied on the benefited properties. The revised costs do not affect the proposed special assessment rates. However, some properties are now included in the areas of total curb and gutter replacement; the updated pending assessment roles were shared at the open house. Due to the current cost of oil we are anticipating very competitive bids. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended that the City Council adopt the attached resolution approving the plans and specifications and ordering the advertisement for bids. I:pubworks/projects/phase14/aproveorderadforbid and res14 7.1 RESOLUTION NO. 2015 - APPROVING PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS AND ORDERING ADVERTISEMENT FOR BIDS PHASE 14 NORTH LIONS PARK STREET RECONSTRUCTION PROJECT #2014-14 WHEREAS, pursuant to a Resolution passed by the Council on the 7th day of October, 2014, and under the provisions of Minnesota Statues, Chapter 429, the firm of Short Elliot Hendrickson, Inc. has prepared plans and specifications for the improvement of the Phase 14 North Lions Park area of Crystal by street, curb and gutter, and drainage reconstruction, and has presented such plans and specifications to the Council for approval.

The following staff inembers were present: Anne Norris, Executive Director; Patrick Peters, Deputy Executive Director; John Sutter, Assistant Community Development Director/City Planner; and Troy Gilchrist, City Attorney. The EDA reviewed drafts of the 2014 Annual Report and 2015 Work Program. Mr. Sutter offered a detailed review of the draft Annual Report. It was the consensus of the EDA members: - After discussion of other uses for the city's Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) allocation, that 100% of the 2015 allocation continue to be dedicated to funding of the Deferred Home Improvement Loan Program administered by Hennepin County. - That the EDA-owned lots at 3556 Major Avenue North and 3122 Douglas Drive North be moved from "land banking for future redevelopment" to the list of EDA-owned lots for sale in 2015; and - That a Request for Proposal (RFP) be prepared in 2015 to seek development interest in the EDA-owned lots at 3401 and 3415 Douglas Drive North that are currently on the "land banking for future development." Staff indicated that these changes would be incorporated into the 2015 Work Program to be considered for approval along with the 2014 Annual Report at an EDA Special Meeting on February 17, 2015. The EDA discussed the replatting of 4724 Lakeland Avenue North to create two outlots to sell to adjacent homeowners. The EDA members had no objections to moving forward with preparation of the plat under Scenario B in the staff report. Mr. Sutter offered a status update on 4553 Yates Avenue North. The lot was sold by the EDA in 2013 for construction of a new house. The buyer has failed to initiate construction on the house and is in default of the Purchase and Redevelopment Agreement. The EDA members had no objections to exercising the reverter clause, taking title to the subject property and placing it back on the list of EDA lots for sale in 2015. The work session adjour•ned at 9:22 p.m. Casey Peak, President ATTEST: Olga Parsons, Vice President EDA STAFF REPORT 5700 Regent New home proposal from Novak-Fleck FROM: John Sutter, City Planner/Assistant Community Development Director z� DEPARTMENT HEAD REVIEW: Patrick Peters, Community Development Director�� DATE: TO: January 28, 2015 Anne Norris, Executive Director (for February 3 EDA meeting) SUBJECT: Consider tentative acceptance of a proposal from Novak-Fleck for the lot at 5700 Regent Avenue North Novak-Fleck has submitted a proposal to purchase the lot at 5700 Regent Avenue North for $50,000. Attached are the builder's proposal form, 2012 aerial photo, and preliminary site and house plans. The house plan is a split entry with an attached three car garage. It would have 1,237 sq. ft. on the upper level, with an open living-dining-kitchen area, three bedrooms and two bathrooms. It would also have 1,144 unfinished sq. ft. on the lower leve�, which could be finished in the future with two bedrooms, a bathroom, laundry room and very large family room. The house would be similar to houses completed and sold at 3556 Welcome, 5332 50tn and 4720 Douglas Dr. It would be essentially identical to the nearly-complete house at 5824 Regent which has a buyer and a closing anticipated in early March. For 5700 Regent, if the EDA tentatively accepts the proposal on February 3, then the required public hearing would occur on March 3 and the EDA would consider a resolution approving the lot sale. Closing and construction start are anticipated in March with completion in summer 2015. The builder does not yet have a buyer for the house. REQUESTED EDA ACTION: EDA approval of a motion tenta#ively accepting the proposal from Novak-Fleck for the EDA lot at 5700 Regent Avenue North.

Memorandum CITY of CI{YSTAL DATE: January 28, 2015 TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Anne Norris, City Manager Chrissy Serres, City Clerk SUBJECT: Section 1175 — Secondhand Goods Dealers Staff has had discussions with a local business who wants to open an appliance sales store in which some new but mostly refurbished appliances will be sold. There would be no consignment and the public wouldn't be able to drive up with their old appliances and sell them. The business owner is planning to purchase refurbished appliances from a local appliance dealer and purchase refurbishable appliances from property management companies, etc. In reviewing Section 1175, it appears that this proposed use would be required to get a secondhand goods dealers license and be subject to the limitations of such a business. 1175.01. Definitions. For purposes of this section the terms defined in this subsection have the meanings given them. Subd. 1. "Secondhand goods dealer" means a person whose regular business includes selling or receiving tangible personal property (excluding motor vehicles) previously used, rented, owned or leased. 1175.03. Exemptions. This section does not apply to or include the following: a) The sale of secondhand goods where all of the following conditions are present: 1) the sale is held on property occupied as a dwelling by the seller, or owned, rented or leased by a charitable or political organization; 2) the items offered for sale are owned by the occupant; 3) the sale does not exceed a period of 72 consecutive hours; 4) not more than two sales are held either by the same person or on the same property in any 12 month period; and 5) none of the items offered for sale have been purchased for resale or received on consignment for purpose of resale. b) sales by a person licensed under section 1110 as a motor vehicle dealer; c) the sale of secondhand books or magazines; d) the sale of goods at an auction held by a licensed auctioneer pursuant to section 1105; e) the business of buying or selling only those secondhand goods taken as part or full payment for new goods, and where such business is incidental to and not the primary business of a person; f) a bulk sale of property from a merchant, manufacturer or wholesaler having an established place of business or of goods sold at open sale from bankrupt stock; g) goods sold at a public market; h) goods sold at an exhibition; i) the sale of secondhand clothing and personal clothing accessories including costume jewelry but excluding other jewelry; provided, however, that a license is required under subsection 1175.11 for which the annual fee is set by appendix IV; or j) the sale of items that have been donated to the seller and not purchased or received on consignment for resale by the seller; provided, however, that a license is required under subsection 1175.11 for which the annual fee is set by appendix IV. k) transactions involving coins, bullion, or ingots. (Amended Ord. 2011-12, Sec. 1) 1175.05. License required. Subdivision 1. Secondhand goods dealer. A person may not engage in the business of secondhand goods dealer without first obtaining a secondhand goods dealer license. Secondhand goods dealers are also limited to property that is appropriately zoned and such uses may not be located within 300 feet of a school or church. Additionally, there are recordkeeping and daily reporting requirements for such uses. Staff is not clear that this was the intent of this Section of the City Code. If it was not, then Section 1175 should be amended to exclude this type of use. Memorandum CITY of CI{YSTAL DATE: January 28, 2015 TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Anne Norris, City Manager Stephanie Revering, Police Chief SUBJECT: Council Chambers and Meeting Security Last year, at least one Council meeting was recessed when residents and visitors created a disruption such that the Council could no longer carry on its business in the Council Chambers. More recently, a New Hope council meeting ended in a tragic shooting. Current safety practices for Council meetings include: - At least one uniformed police officer in attendance; - One public entrance in to the Chambers; - One exit for the City Council and staff from the Chambers; - Security cameras in City Hall hallways. The Council should consider establishing protocols for both disruptions and more serious safety threats. In addition, the Council should have a discussion with the Police Chief regarding additional changes to improve security during public meetings and in the Council Chambers. The Police Chief will have recommendations for protocol (evacuation or lock down) for safety threats and additional safety precautions for the Council Chambers and City Hall for the Council's consideration. With respect to disruptive visitors, the Council should agree on a protocol for responding to such situations. At last year's meeting, the Mayor, as presiding officer, noted, on the record, that any disruptive behavior would not be permitted and then called a recess. Many agencies also have a policy of the presiding officer calling for a recess if disruptive behavior is not stopped to allow for order to be restored. Some agencies go as far as asking police to remove the person or persons disrupting the meeting before calling the meeting back to order. The Council should discuss protocols for both disruptive and safety threats as well as possible additional security. Memorandum CITY of CI{YSTAL DATE: January 29, 2015 TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Anne Norris, City Manager SUBJECT: Advisory Commission Applicant Recruitment and Interview Process There are several advisory commissions on which residents serve to provide input to the Council and staff on various matters including land use, the environment, parks and recreation, human rights and employee matters. The process for finding and appointing residents to serve on these commissions is: - Recruit using any combination of: the city's website and FB; Channel 12; the city newsletter; the Sun Post and word of mouth; - Have candidates interviewed by a committee consisting of the Mayor or Mayor Pro Tem, the Chair of the Commission, and where applicable, the Council liaison to that commission (candidates are only interviewed when they first apply,not when being considered for reappointment); - The Interview Committee recommends whether or not each specific candidate is recommended for appointment by the City Council; and - The City Council appoints the candidates. The City Council should discuss whether this process needs modifying. �:��, u�� Memorandum L`"lil' S i'Al.. DATE: January 28, 2015 TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Anne Norris, City Manager �`�� SUBJECT: City Council Initiatives and Priorities At recent work sessions, the Council discussed priorities for the coming year. Attached is an updated list of those priorities, with goals (where explanation was provided), current practice and suggested actions to address the priority.
