Memorandum
DATE: May 27, 2020
TO: Mayor and Council
FROM: Anne Norris, City Manager
Kimberly Threrres, Assistant City Manager/Human Resources Manager
SUBJECT: Labor Negotiations 2021-2023
All three bargaining units will be negotiating agreement s for 2021 and beyond. The city
has three bargaining units:
International Union of Operating Engineers, Local 49 (public works).
Law Enforcement Labor Services, Local 44 (patrol officers).
Law Enforcement Labor Services, Local 56 (police supervisors).
Prior to meeting with any of our labor unions, staff would like to meet in a closed

In accordance with Minnesota Statutes, section 13D.03, portions of the meeting will be

Memorandum
DATE: June 2, 2020
TO: City Council
FROM: Mark Ray, PE, Director of Public Works
SUBJECT: MAC Easement update
Summary
On April 27, 2018 I provided the Council with an update on the storm water drainage at the
intersection of 61st Ave and Douglas after the Phase 16 Street Reconstruction Project. At the meeting
we discussed the City’s proactive efforts to swap right of way/easements and do some grading work on
MAC property to improve drainage as part of the Phase 16. Unfortuantely, at the time MAC did not
agree with the proposed land swap and grading work.
Since then, staff has maintained the City’s offer for an right of way/easement swap and assisting with
grading work.
With the proposed expansion of a runway at the Crystal airport and some other improvements, the
potential for a land swap has come up again. Staff has been working with MAC staff on the easement
swap however, the City is firm in the land rights we want for the land rights we are giving up. As it
stands, the net land area exchanged heavily favors MAC.
City land area given MAC: 97,794.80 square feet
MAC land area given to City: 9,002 square feet (approximately)
Once City and MAC staff have come to an agreement, the proposed land swap will have to be
approved by both governing bodies.

4. Open Forum
(The City Council appreciates hearing from citizens about items of concern and desires to set aside
time during each meeting for Open Forum. To provide ample opportunity for all, speaking time is
limited to three minutes and topic discussion is limited to ten minutes. The Mayor may, as presiding
officer, extend the total time allowed for a topic. By rule, no action may be taken on any item
brought before the Council during Open Forum. The Council may place items discussed during Open
Forum onto subsequent council meeting agendas.)
5. Regular Agenda
5.1. The Council will consider approval of disbursements over $25,000 submitted by the finance
department to the city council, a list that is on file in the office of the finance department.
Recommend approval of disbursements over $25,000.
5.2. The Council will consider a resolution authorizing the contract for the West Broadway storm
water infiltration project.
Earlier this year, the City Council approved plans and specifications and authorized advertising
for bids for the storm water infiltration project at 57th and West Broadway. Bids were
received last week and a qualifying bid came in significantly lower than the project estimate.
Recommend approval of the resolution authorizing the contract for the West Broadway storm
water infiltration project.
5.3. The Council will consider a resolution authorizing a contract for relocating the water meter
reading antenna from the police building.
There are antennas on the police side of City Hall, including one for reading water meters
throughout the city. Most of the antennas will stay with the police building after
reconstruction but the one for the water meters will need to be relocated to a higher location
which will be on the north water tower in New Hope. This work needs to be done during the
summer. In anticipation of the police building reconstruction project, recommend approval of
the resolution proceeding with this project this summer. Funds will come from the utilities
and police building funds.

Memorandum
DATE: June 2, 2020
TO: City Council
FROM: Mark Ray, PE, Director of Public Works
SUBJECT: Authorize Contract for 5747 W. Broadway Storm Water Infiltration System
Summary
On April 21, 2020 the City Council approved the plans and authorized the aid for bid for the 5747 W. Broadway
Storm Water Infiltration System. Bids were opened on Friday, May 22nd. Ten bids were received.
Bid Summary
Pember Companies, Inc $276,812
G.F. Jedlicki, Inc $285,194
Rachel Contracting, LLC $289,470
St Paul Utilities $298,800
Sunram Construction, Inc. $299,729
Meyer Contracting Inc. $358,087.20
New Look Contracting, Inc. $362,087
Northdale Construction Company, Inc. $372,036.54
Landwehr Construction, Inc. $376,838
Blackstone Contractors LLC $397,491
The Engineers Estimate for construction was $356,660. The bid package did allow for an Alternate for the project to
be constructed in 2021. Based on the bids when using the Alternate, GF Jedlicki would have been the low bid but
the project cost would have only been reduced by $1,618 (0.6%). Because this project will provide benefit the
flooding of W. Broadway that happens during heavy rainstorms, the cost savings was not seen as significant
enough to justify delaying the project for a year. Additionally, since the bids came in so favorable, the City is
working with the contractor to maximize the size of the system in the available space will still being on budget.
Project Budget ($450,000)
Three sources of funding will be used for this project:
Storm water Capital Improvement Plan project (5747 W. Broadway) $150,000
Shingle Creek Watershed Management Commission Public Cost-share Grant $50,000
Becker Park Storm Water Project unused project balance $250,000
Of note, since the April 21 Council Meeting, the City did receive a grant for this project from the Shingle Creek
Watershed Management Commission.
Recommended Action
Motion to authorize the contract with Pember Companies, Inc for the 5747 W. Broadway Storm Water Infiltration
System

RESOLUTION NO. 2020- _____

SUBJECT: Authorize Contract for Water Meter Antenna Relocation
Summary
Construction of the new police building will require that the existing antenna tower be removed. The majority of
existing antennas on the tower will be relocated onto the new police building (without needing a tower). However,
the antenna that reads all the water meters in the City is at the top of the tower and needs to be relocated to
another high vantage point.
Staff has been working for a number of months with the vendor that supports the water meter antenna software
operation to identify another location where the antenna can be relocated to and the other needed work to make
the system operational. A study conducted in 2008 looked at other potential antenna locations in the area. This
study identified the existing JWC Water Tower (referred to as the North Tower) at 47th and Aquila (in New Hope) as
tall enough to serve all Crystal properties.
Cost
The cost for the needed equipment and installation of the relocated water meter antenna will be $59,270. The cost
will be split between the new police building project cost ($34,270 and the water utility fund ($25,000).
Schedule
Once ordered, the equipment will take 4-6 weeks to arrive. It will then take a couple more weeks for installation for
a total (ideal) time of two months from initial order to completion. Due to an antenna needing to be attached to
the top of the tower and cabling attached to the tower supports, this work must be completed this summer.
