Seconded by Commissioner Hansen. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON KONDRICK DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. 1. PUBLIC HEARING: Consideration of a Special Use Permit, SP #16-06, by USAgain, to allow limited outdoor storage along the west side of the property, generally located at 191 Osborne Road. MOTION by Commissioner Oquist to open the public hearing. Seconded by Commissioner Sielaff. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON KONDRICK DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY AND THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED AT 7:01 P.M. Stacy Stromberg , City Planner, stated the petitioner, Joseph Labraco, CFO for USAgain, is proposing to lease building space from Osborne Commerce Center, LLP which is the owner of the property at 191 Osborne Road. As part of that lease the petitioner is seeking a special use permit to allow limited outdoor storage within one designated area on the west side of the property. Ms. Stromberg stated the petitioner would like to store the collection bins used for their business within a 40-foot by 50-foot area, along the western edge of the existing parking lot. Ms. Stromberg stated the property is zoned M-2, Heavy Industrial as are the properties to the west and south. The property to the north is zoned S-3, Heavy Industrial Onaway Addition; and the two properties to the east are zoned C-2, General Business and M-1, Light Industrial. It is located on northwest corner of Main Street and Osborne Road. The property was replatted in 1997, as was the property to the west at 101 Osborne Road. The existing building was constructed in 1996. The shell of the building has remained the same over the years, though several interior modifications have been made for different tenant spaces. Ms. Stromberg stated City Code allows limited outdoor storage in the industrial districts that is up to 50 percent of the building footprint with a special use permit. This building is 101,600 square feet, so City Planning Commission Meeting October 19, 2016 Page 2 of 10 code would allow up to 50,800 square feet of outdoor storage on this site. The petitioner plans to lease approximately 12,000 square feet of space within the inside of the building. As part of his business, the petitioner needs the ability to store empty collection bins that are being staged for repair/clean-up and deployment back into the field. The proposed outdoor storage area for the collection bins will be along the western edge of the parking lot, where there is existing trailer parking spaces. The size of the area is 40 feet by 50 feet, or 2,000 square feet, which is well below the allowable outdoor storage area for this property. Ms. Stromberg stated before the proposed special use permit can be issued, several additional requirements need to be met. Those specific requirements relate to height, screening, parking, and the types of materials allowed to be stored outside. Ms. Stromberg stated based on the calculations provided to the City by the property owner on how the interior space of the building is used, City code would require 103 parking stalls for this site. There are 123 parking stalls on site and 27 trailer parking spots. Of those trailer parking spots, 5 will be used for the proposed storage area. Ms. Stromberg stated the petitioner plans to fence in the outdoor storage area with a chain-link fence that will have screening slats in it, which will comply with Code requirements. All other Code requirements to allow a special use permit for limited outdoor storage are being met. Ms. Stromberg stated City staff has not heard from any neighboring property owners. Ms. Stromberg stated City Staff recommends approval of this special use permit, with stipulations as limited outdoor storage is a permitted special use in the M-2, Heavy Industrial zoning district, provided specific Code requirements are met, subject to stipulations. Ms. Stromberg stated staff recommends that if the special use permit is granted, the following stipulations be attached: 1.Outdoor storage area shall be limited to the square footage amount requested as part of this special use permit request. 2.Screening fence shall be installed within 60 days of tenant occupying the site. 3.The types of materials stored inside of the containers shall be reviewed by the Fire Marshal. 4.Per Section 205 of the Fridley City Code, this Special Use Permit will become null and void one year after the City Council approval date if work has not commenced or if the Petitioner has not petitioned the City Council for an extension. Chairperson Kondrick asked whether there could be one to five companies using the storage space as a place to store things? Ms. Stromberg stated it is the intention of the petitioner that this one business uses the area for the outdoor storage. Commissioner Oquist asked Ms. Stromberg whether the City reviews the slat fencing. So often you see the slats deteriorating or falling apart. Planning Commission Meeting October 19, 2016 Page 3 of 10 Ms. Stromberg replied, yes, they do. Every year staff likes to go through all the special use permits they have issued to make sure the people are still in compliance with their stipulations. If it gets to a point where the slats need to be replaced, staff would notify them. Chairperson Kondrick stated this is so close to a very important roadway and area and people can see that. He asked the representative from USAgain if he had anything to add? Thomas Gregersen, USAgain, states he lives in Chicago. There is no intent to store anything inside the storage bins. Chairperson Kondrick stated to Mr. Gregersen the City is interested as to what is being stored inside the containers and that is why one of the stipulations states that. The City would like to ensure there is no trouble with what is inside the storage containers and that they would not start any fires. Commissioner Hansen asked Mr. Gregersen how long would the containers would be stacked/stored in this location? Mr. Gregersen replied, the bins are rotated. They get fixed in the warehouse and then stored before replacing more bins to be brought in for repair, etc. Chairperson Kondrick asked whether they had any problems with the stipulations? Mr. Gregersen replied, no, they expected those. Chairperson Kondrick asked, and they are in agreement, correct? Mr. Gregersen replied, yes. MOTION by Commissioner Sielaff to close the public hearing. Seconded by Commissioner Hansen. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON KONDRICK DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY AND THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED AT 7:10 P.M. MOTION by Commissioner Oquist approving Special Use Permit, SP #16-06, by USAgain, to allow limited outdoor storage along the west side of the property, generally located at 191 Osborne Road with the following stipulations: 1.Outdoor storage area shall be limited to the square footage amount requested as part of this special use permit request. 2.Screening fence shall be installed within 60 days of tenant occupying the site. 3.The types of materials stored inside of the containers shall be reviewed by the Fire Marshal. 4.Per Section 205 of the Fridley City Code, this Special Use Permit will become null and void one year after the City Council approval date if work has not commenced or if the Petitioner has not petitioned the City Council for an extension. Seconded by Commissioner Sielaff. Planning Commission Meeting October 19, 2016 Page 4 of 10 UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON KONDRICK DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY 2. PUBLIC HEARING: Consideration of a Vacation, SAV # 16-01, by Fridley Land LLC, to vacate a portion of Northern Stacks Drive to adjust the street right-of-way to match the updated development plan. They are also requesting that some drainage and utility easements be vacated, as new rd ones will be re-dedicated upon final plat approval of North Stacks 3 Addition, generally located at 41 Northern Stacks Drive NE. MOTION by Commissioner Oquist to open the public hearing. Seconded by Commissioner Ostwald. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON KONDRICK DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY AND THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED AT 7:12 P.M. Ms. Stromberg stated Paul Hyde, of Fridley Land LLC is requesting to vacate a portion of Northern Stacks Drive to adjust the street right-of-way to match the updated development plan for property generally located at 41 Northern Stacks Drive. Ms. Stromberg stated the request will also vacate some drainage and utility easements on Lot 1, Block 1, nd Northern Stacks and Lot 3, Block 1, Northern Stacks 2 Addition, as new easements will be re-dedicated rd upon final plat of Northern Stacks 3 Addition. Ms. Stromberg presented an illustration showing the areas which are to be vacated. Ms. Stromberg stated these parcels are part of the larger parcel that was addressed as 4800 East River Road, which was known as the BAE/FMC/Navy site and is now being called Northern Stacks. This larger parcel of land was rezoned from M-2, Heavy Industrial to S-2, Redevelopment District in 2013 to allow redevelopment of the property. Ms. Stromberg stated a master plan was approved with the rezoning that establishes guidelines that dictate what type of development can occur on the site. Ms. Stromberg stated the proposed vacation request meets the intent of the master plan that was approved with the S-2 rezoning for this property. Ms. Stromberg stated the Northern Stacks Drive cul-de-sac is being extended further to the east, which rd will provide access to the newly created lots that are part of the Northern Stacks 3 Addition. As a nd result, the portion of the cul-de-sac that extends into Lot 3 within Northern Stacks 2 Addition needs to be vacated. Ms. Stromberg stated the petitioner is also asking that the existing drainage and utility easements on Lot nd 1, Block 1, Northern Stacks and Lot 3, Block 1, Northern Stacks 2 Addition, as new easements will be rd re-dedicated upon final plat of Northern Stacks 3 Addition. Ms. Stromberg stated City staff recommends approval of the street and easement vacations. Planning Commission Meeting October 19, 2016 Page 5 of 10 Chairperson Kondrick stated he drove by the area today and the development process taking place there is really something. What was and is now is just amazing. He would assume if City staff and the petitioner are going to go along with this idea, he thinks they should, too. He cannot find any fault with it. Commissioner Sielaff asked whether this will be resolved through the development plan? Ms. Stromberg replied, it will be resolved when the third addition is platted. That preliminary plat was before them earlier this year and approved. It is at the County now for their approval, and then it will come back to City Council for final plat approval. Chairperson Kondrick asked whether the County has had any reservations or said anything about the plat and what is going on here? Ms. Stromberg asked, as far as the platting process? Chairperson Kondrick replied, yes. Ms. Stromberg stated, no. Everything has gone rather smoothly. The second building is fully leased, and they are constructing the third building now. Things have been moving right along. MOTION by Commissioner Sielaff to close the public hearing. Seconded by Commissioner Oquist. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON KONDRICK DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY AND THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED AT 7:18 P.M. Chairperson Kondrick stated he has no problem with this. It is pretty straightforward and pretty simple. MOTION by Commissioner Sielaff approving Vacation, SAV # 16-01, by Fridley Land LLC, to vacate a portion of Northern Stacks Drive to adjust the street right-of-way to match the updated development plan along with some drainage and utility easements be vacated, as new ones will be re-dedicated upon final rd plat approval of North Stacks 3 Addition, generally located at 41 Northern Stacks Drive NE. Seconded by Commissioner Oquist. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON KONDRICK DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. 3. PUBLIC HEARING: Consideration of a Text Amendment, TA #16-04, by the City of Fridley, to Chapter 0-5, Telecommunications Towers and Facilities, to add language within the Code that defines and regulates “small cell” communication facilities within the public right-of-way. Other general housekeeping items will also be addressed in the text amendment. MOTION by Commissioner Oquist to open the public hearing. Seconded by Commissioner Hansen. Planning Commission Meeting October 19, 2016 Page 6 of 10 UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON KONDRICK DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY AND THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS OPENED AT 7:20 P.M. Ms. Stromberg stated technology is continually changing. It requires updates and changes to the City's telecom code and the facilities and equipment that service it. As of late the City has received a couple of requests from a company that is interested in installing smaller telecommunications equipment within the public right-of-way. The City's current Code does not allow this type of equipment in the public right-of- way. Therefore, it prohibits it and the City has had to explain to the company they cannot allow it at this time because its Code does not allow it. Ms. Stromberg stated in December 2015 City staff asked the Council to establish a moratorium so staff would have some time to conduct some research and find out what other communities are doing in relationship to this new technology. City Council did approve and staff has prepared the text amendment language in the Commission's packet for their review and approval. The new language addresses DAS (or small cell as it is also called in the industry) in the right-of-way. Ms. Stromberg stated the City attorney and staff have consulted with the League of Minnesota Cities and other cities in the metro regarding this new technology. Through those consultations and discussions with the City's public works director, staff has drafted this text amendment that will allow this new technology in the public right-of-way provided specific standards can be met. Ms. Stromberg stated one of the standards they have placed within the Code would be that the new equipment needs to be attached to an existing structure that is already in the public right-of-way. The new standards will also limit the size or the new equipment; and the DAS user does need to get approval from the owner of the existing structure, whether it is a pole from Xcel or a light pole the City owns. They will also need to get approval MnDOT if it is in the MnDOT right-of-way or the City if in the City's right-of-way or the County if it is in Anoka County's right-of-way. Those are just a couple of the standards that staff has placed within the Code. Ms. Stromberg presented a couple of pictures of what this technology could look like on an existing light pole. The text amendment will allow this technology through issuance of a right-of-way permit which is handled through the City's engineering department and/or a building permit if a building permit is required for the structure. Ms. Stromberg stated the illustration shows how the small technology works with the larger tower. They work together in areas where there is a high coverage need, i.e., a shopping mall, baseball stadium, hospital, high traffic intersections where people are stopped. Those are where these small cell technologies want to be located because there is a higher demand for them. Ms. Stromberg stated wherever there is poor cell coverage; it is communication between the larger tower and the smaller tower working together to provide the coverage that the users need. Commissioner Oquist stated the small cell enhances the signal from the large one. It is not a stand alone. It has to work in conjunction with the large one. Ms. Stromberg replied, yes. Planning Commission Meeting October 19, 2016 Page 7 of 10 Ms. Stromberg stated she will be going through the code highlighting the changes. There is reference to small cell technology in the Purpose and Intent section of the Code. That is the first part of the text amendment. They then modified a couple of the definitions, specifically the applicant definition and the public utility structure definition. Then they added two definitions, the DAS definition and telecommunications right-of-way user definition. Ms. Stromberg stated as to the meat of the new language is the added DAS performance standards, she is not going to go through all of them but just picked a few of them she thought maybe would be of interest to the Commission and the public. Again, in order for them to be located in the right-of-way they need to be on an existing structure; and that does not include stoplights. The City's engineering department has stated they do not want them on stoplights. Light poles or any other type of a pole the City has within the public right-of-way is an option but not the signalized stop light. Chairperson Kondrick stated, for example, on Mississippi and University they could not come in and construct a new pole. Ms. Stromberg replied, only if it’s on an existing structure. Commissioner Hansen asked, how does it apply to private property? Ms. Stromberg replied, they are not addressing private parties with this text amendment. That is something staff would like to dive into a little bit further. However, the requests they have had have been specific to the public right-of-way and is why they are addressing that right now. They do allow the large tower sites on private property, and the City has a list of established sites. However, they have not developed a small cell criteria for private property yet. Ms. Stromberg stated another one of the other performance standards is to ensure it does not interfere with public safety communications. It will require license from the City if it is a City-owned structure. The new equipment should match the existing pole or existing equipment as much as possible. They are also limiting the size of the structure and then how far it can protrude out from the existing pole. They are requiring that the applicant be a telecom right-of-way user, and that they get all applicable permits from any government agencies they might need. For example, if they are in the MnDOT right-of-way, they need to have MnDOT approval. Chairperson Kondrick asked whether staff has taken into consideration this may affect the police and fire communications. Ms. Stromberg replied, she is not a technical expert but she does believe there are different frequencies in which they operate on from the Police and Fire department frequencies. Scott Hickok, Community Development Director, stated that is exactly right. There are bandwidths they travel in. There is an emergency service system of its own that travels at a certain megahertz. That, too, is a permitted use of the public right-of-way now as an essential public service, much like the horns for those on the first Wednesday of every month, etc. Chairperson Kondrick asked would the county, state, or some agency have the right to tell them that they cannot broadcast frequency in those bandwidths where the police and fire department are active? Planning Commission Meeting October 19, 2016 Page 8 of 10 Mr. Hickok replied, there are a couple of agencies. At the federal level there is the FCC that issues licenses for wireless communication. At the local level there is a determination, not just Fridley's law enforcement agencies, but all law enforcement agencies across the country travel in a certain bandwidth and have a certain area in the communications spectrum they travel in. It is known and it is saved, it is preserved for them. You would not be able to get an FCC license to travel inside their bandwidth. Ms. Stromberg stated the next part that staff changed in this text amendment is related to the application process, what the applicant needs to submit with their application. It is kind of the same as the performance standard, but staff listed things such as they need to submit with their application, like they need to have a structural engineer determine if the utility structure they are going to be locating on is strong enough to hold the new equipment. They need to have a geological engineer confirm that the soils can support this new equipment. They need to submit a site plan. They need to make sure they have their licenses, the FCC or whoever. They want to make sure they have all their ducks in a row before they issue the permit. Ms. Stromberg stated, staff reworded the abandonment section to include DAS in the regulations. If a tower or a DAS is abandoned, they can notify the owner they have so long to remove the structure and, if they don't, then the City does and bills them for it. Staff also added a section on no recourse which the City has not had in the Code before but the City Attorney feels it is very important to create a clause that cannot hold the City liable for any damages related to the tower. Ms. Stromberg stated lastly, staff added a section on data practice. Sometimes the City gets plans that are stamped with "Trade Secret" and people don’t want the City sharing this information but we do need to follow the Minnesota Government Data Practices Act, so they do need to go by that and not necessarily what the petitioner asks of the City. Ms. Stromberg stated staff is asking the Commission to recommend approval to the City Council and, if they do choose to do that, the Council is scheduled to hold a public hearing on this request on November 14. Chairperson Kondrick stated so if he has a permit to put a DAS on a structure that is already around, can somebody else put a DAS on there, too, does the City regulate that, and does it make any difference? What about the structural part. How does the City stop or allow it? Mr. Hickok replied, that is a very good question. One of the reasons staff wanted to be very particular about existing facilities in the right-of-way is they do not want, for example, a light pole to be placed on a 100-foot structure that now has that three-station co-locates on it. From an engineering perspective, typically a light fixture like the goose neck fixture is one that is engineered to hold and manage the wind loads of that in all. If they are able to add their equipment and do it in a way that the weight, the wind resistance, etc. does not cause problems with that fixture, that is great. If you start loading a power pole, a light pole, or anything else like this and it has been engineered for only a certain amount of activity on it, the likelihood of getting more than one is somewhat controlled by the fact that the City is having them go on existing facilities; and it needs to be engineered, it needs to have proof that it can meet the requirements. Mr. Hickok stated even as to clearances from the ground, they do not want these things to be a detriment to someone who might be walking and not notice it because it is hanging too low on the pole. Chairperson Kondrick asked does it have to be at least 15 tall? Planning Commission Meeting October 19, 2016 Page 9 of 10 Mr. Hickok replied they had a lot of discussion about clearance. Again, it is in a bit self-policed by virtue of the fact there is a line of site that they use. They want to be at a certain elevation in order to communicate with the towers. Mr. Hickok stated another part about requiring it being on an existing pole in the right-of-way is that one of the trends they are seeing is there are groups that, basically he will call them real estate agents, who are out and they want to put poles in the right-of-way so they can turn around and lease them out to telecommunications entities. Another element of this, and it is important know, there is another entity kind of related to Chairperson Kondrick's question as to who governs this and what kind of licenses and permits, etc. are needed. In order to do this the ordinance will tell you that you need to be registered with the Public Utilities Commission for the State of Minnesota. If you are that real estate type agency that wants to drill a new hole and put a new post in the ground so that it can be real estate for telcoms to come in and put their equipment on, you are not a telecom. You are not listed with the PUC as a telecom, and the City won’t be able to issue them a permit. Commissioner Ostwald asked, do they know how many potential sites they have in the City? Or are we just preparing for it? Mr. Hickok replied, they have had an inquiry as to that real estate company wanting to put a new 120- foot pole on University and Osborne Road. It is not going to happen. Xcel, for example, has addresses on all of their power poles throughout the City. Although it is the City's understanding that Xcel has not said yes to anyone at least here in Fridley, the concept of having equipment on their poles, if they did, they have specific addresses they use in their system they would reference if they made application here. The City does have somewhat of an inventory of where Xcel, for example, has the City's poles. They know where the City has poles that are City-owned uprights here. They do have some sense about what the potential is out there based on what they see in the City's infrastructure and what they know is there. Commissioner Sielaff stated, staff said they are responsible for taking these devices down? Will the City have some kind of financial assurance to make sure they have the ability to do that? Ms. Stromberg replied, staff did add an escrow fee, No. 9, under Section 205.39, it says an escrow fee as set forth in Chapter 11 which is the City's fees chapter, shall be held and utilized in the event the DAS is abandoned without removal by the applicant. MOTION by Commissioner Oquist to close the public hearing. Seconded by Commissioner Sielaff. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON KONDRICK DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY AND THE PUBLIC HEARING WAS CLOSED AT 7:40 P.M. Chairperson Kondrick stated he went through this three times. He cannot find any loops or faults. He thought the City staff did a magnificent job in making sure the City is covered. Anybody who wants a DAS is going to be protected. It is okay with him. MOTION by Commissioner Oquist approving Text Amendment, TA #16-04, by the City of Fridley, to Chapter 0-5, Telecommunications Towers and Facilities, to add language within the Code that defines and Planning Commission Meeting October 19, 2016 Page 10 of 10 regulates “small cell” communication facilities within the public right-of-way. Other general housekeeping items will also be addressed in the text amendment. Seconded by Commissioner Hansen.

Ms. Stromberg stated that the items heard before the Commission at their September meeting will be th going before the Council next Monday, October 24. She also stated that the November Planning Commission meeting has been cancelled. Mr. Hickok wanted to invite the Commission and the viewing audience to a Public Meeting regarding the potential use of the Columbia Arena site next Tuesday, October 25, 2016 at 6:30 p.m. at City Hall in meeting room 1 in the lower level. They will be taking a closer look at the needs, findings, options, and costs involved with the current site plan proposal. ADJOURN : MOTION by Commissioner Oquist to adjourn. Seconded by Commissioner Ostwald. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON KONDRICK DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY AND THE MEETING ADJOURNED AT 7:46 P.M. Respectfully submitted, Denise M. Johnson Recording Secretary Public Works Department Streets ¤ Parks ¤ Water ¤ Sewer ¤ Stormwater ¤ Fleet ¤ Facilities¤ Engineering MEMORANDUM TO: Julie Jones, Planning Manager PW 16-072 FROM: James Kosluchar, Public Works Director / City Engineer DATE: December 19, 2016 SUBJECT: Draft 2016 Drinking Water Plan Attached you will find the City of Fridley’s Draft 2016 Drinking Water Plan (formerly known as Emergency and Conservation Plan). This plan is the first component to our updated 2040 comprehensive plan. The plan includes an evaluation of our drinking water system, projections for demand, and conservation and planning practices. It is notable that the City of Fridley is positioned well for sustainability of its drinking water system with the following circumstances: 1. Demand for water is approximately 50% of that since peaking in the late 1980s. Capacity therefore remains high relative to demand. 2. Aquifer data indicates long-term increases in recharge. 3. Residential consumption is meeting the goal of below 75 gallons per capita per day. Industrial consumption is also down over the past 10 years. 4. Peaking factor (maximum daily demand over average daily demand) is consistently declining, and is very low. 5. Various conservation practices are in place. There are challenges with maintaining our sustainability, namely that of aging infrastructure, and increasing rates that have been required to offset declining demand. I would ask that the Planning Commission focus on Part 3 of the plan, including conservation measures it would like to see implemented, along with zoning controls that might be enacted to enhance Wellhead Protection. I will have a presentation that I can provide at the hearing. Finally, I have attached the City’s 2030 Comprehensive Plan Water Supply Plan chapter for reference. JPK:jpk Chapter 11, Water Supply Plan Page 167 Final Chapter 11 Public Water Supply Plan 11.0 Introduction Purpose This chapter documents water supply and characteristics of the municipal water system. In addition, forecasts of future water supply needs have been developed to assist in the planning of system expansions in an orderly manner and to anticipate future capital expenditures. The public water supply plan has been developed to: Provide for the delivery and conservation of water that is of consistent quality that meets drinking water standards; Provide for the delivery and conservation of water that is of consistent quantity for fire protection; and Provide sustainability of the water utility. In addition to meeting community needs, this plan has been prepared to fulfill state mandates that are administered by the Department of Natural Resources (DNR), the Department of Health, the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) and the Metropolitan Council. The Minnesota Department of Health commissioned Anoka County to complete a groundwater modeling effort. Anoka County completed the modeling effort in 2005. In turn, the City has submitted its Wellhead Protection Plan with the City Engineer acting as the City’s Wellhead Protection Manager. This plan will address prevention of contamination to our aquifers. Community Setting Fridley is a fully developed, first ring suburban community lying to the north of the central cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul. The current population is estimated at approximately 26,459 (2007) and the number of persons employed by various businesses is approximately 23,595(2005). Although there are few areas left for residential development, a limited amount of vacant land does exist for commercial and industrial development. Public Water System Development The municipal water system within Fridley was established in the early 1950s and designed to replace individual private wells. The current water system includes 13 wells, three water treatment facilities, two booster stations, two elevated water towers, and two ground reservoirs. Approximately 115 miles of water main serves the community. Chapter 11, Water Supply Plan Page 168 Final The City contains three pressure zones due to the varied topography in the community. The low level zone contains 11 wells, two treatment facilities, two elevated water towers, and one ground storage reservoir. The intermediate pressure zone level contains two wells, one water treatment facility and one booster station. The high service level contains one booster station, one ground reservoir and one standpipe. In August 1989, the City commissioned the preparation of a Water System Study to determine future water needs based upon the capability of the existing system. Additionally, information was gathered to evaluate the operation of the water system, analyze potential water conservation methods, develop a computer model of the distribution system, estimate the costs of future system improvements, and to preliminarily investigate an identified contamination problem. As a result of this 1989 Study, an elevated 1.5 million gallon water tower and the third water treatment facility at 73 ½ Avenue and TH 65 were added to the system; improvements to the booster pump system were installed, and a well contamination monitoring program was instituted. The Twin Cities Army Ammunition Plant (TCAAP) water main interconnection to New Brighton was completed in 1994. It provides maximum flows of 3 million gallons per day from the non-peak months of September through April and 250,000 gallons per day from April to September. The City provides an annual Water Quality report, as required by law, to the public by including it in the City newsletter. The most current report is also posted on the City web site at www.ci.fridley.mn.us/pubwks/water. Comparable to previous year’s reports, the most recent Water Quality report, from 2007, shows current testing in certified laboratories demonstrates that no contaminants in excess of EPA limits were detected in the City of Fridley’s drinking water supply. 11.1Geologic Setting of the Community The topography of the community is varied and influenced by the waterways. Higher elevations exist in the eastern and southeast portions of the community with the lowest associated with the Mississippi River floodplain. Surficial and Underlying Geology The surficial deposits of the Fridley area are classified as part of the Anoka Sand Plain, and were deposited primarily by glacial ice and meltwater during the most recent glaciation. However, the glacial landscape has been altered by soil formation and erosion during the postglacial periods. All of the glacial deposits were from the Grantsburg Sublobe and the overall thickness of the surficial deposits range from 50 to 100 feet. There are five surficial deposits in Fridley. Two of the deposits are of glacial origin: lake sand and outwash deposits. The other three deposits are of postglacial origin: alluvium, eolian sand, and terrace deposits. All of the surficial deposits are postglacial. The lake sand deposits are found along the eastern boundary of Fridley and consist of very fine to medium sand with minor silt, and include some areas of fluvial sand at or near the surface. The outwash deposits are located in the northern portion of the City and generally consist of sand and gravel. Alluvium deposits have been identified along Rice Creek and the Mississippi River. These deposits consist of primarily silty sand overlaid in places by sandy loam or peat. Eolian deposits, dunes of very fine to medium sand, are found in the extreme southeastern corner of the City. The terrace deposits are mainly sand and gravel in nature and are found over most of the western two-thirds of the City. There are two types of uppermost bedrock immediately beneath the surficial deposits within the Fridley city limits. The two formations are called the St. Peter Sandstone and the Prairie du Chien Group. Both of Chapter 11, Water Supply Plan Page 169 Final these bedrock units were deposited during the Ordovician period. Depth to the uppermost bedrock in Fridley ranges from 50 to 100 feet. The St. Peter Sandstone is found as the uppermost bedrock in the southern half of the City and is typically 155 feet thick. The upper half to two-thirds of the formation consists of a fine- to medium-grained, poorly cemented quartzose sandstone. The lower one-third to half of the formation contains multicolored beds of mudstone, siltstone, and shale with an interbedded, very course sandstone. Many sand grains in the lower portion of the formation are dark gray. The Prairie du Chien Group underlies the St. Peter Sandstone and is located near the Mississippi River along the western boundary of Fridley, and in the northern one-third of the City. Typically, the Prairie du Chien Group is 280 feet thick and is comprised of two principal formations, the Shakopee Formation and the Oneota Dolomite, both of which are predominantly light brownish-gray or buff, sandy, thin- to thick-bedded dolomite. It is typically varied and fractured and contains some thin layers of interbedded Figure 11.1 grayish-green shale. Bedrock geology is shown on . Aquifers and Groundwater Conditions There are four aquifers in the Fridley area: the watertable system, the Prairie du Chien-Jordan, the Franconia-Ironton-Galesville, and the Mt. Simon-Hinckley. The uppermost aquifer, the watertable system, exists in many different types of geologic materials. Some of these may yield water to wells, such as sands and gravels, but others, such as till, do not. Due to the heterogeneous nature of the glacial deposits, the watertable system is highly variable in flow direction and velocity. Groundwater flow direction is generally west or southwest toward the Mississippi River. The other three aquifers are bedrock aquifers. The uppermost bedrock aquifer, the Prairie du Chien-Jordan, is present throughout Fridley. The Prairie du Chien Group is up to 140 feet thick in some areas and groundwater flow is controlled by fractures, joints, and solution cavities within the dolomite. The Jordan Sandstone consists of fairly uniform quartzose sandstone and is highly permeable. The groundwater flow through this sandstone is primarily intergranular. Since there is no confining unit between the Prairie du Chien Group and the Jordan Sandstone, they act as a single aquifer. Groundwater flow direction is unknown, but is likely west to southwest toward the Mississippi River. The approximate maximum thickness of the aquifer is 470 feet and typical yields to individual wells range from 500 to 1000 gallons per minute. Total dissolved solids generally are less than 500 parts per million. The Franconia-Ironton-Galesville bedrock aquifer exists beneath the Prairie du Chien-Jordan aquifer. The St. Lawrence Formation, a dolomite shale and siltstone ranging in thickness from 30 to 75 feet, acts as the confining unit between the two aquifers. The Franconia-Ironton-Galesville is comprised of three parts. The upper 105 to 190 feet consists of the Franconia Formation, glauconitic sandstone with some shale and dolomite. The next 25 to 30 feet consist of the Ironton Sandstone, and the lower 30 to 35 feet consist of the Galesville Sandstone. All three units are hydrologically connected. The groundwater flow direction in this aquifer is also unknown, but it is likely toward the Mississippi River. The approximate maximum thickness of the aquifer is 330 feet. Typical yields to individual wells range between 250 and 500 gallons per minute and total dissolved solids are generally less than 500 parts per million. The deepest bedrock aquifer is the Mt. Simon-Hinckley. It is located beneath the Eau Claire Formation, a 60- to 125-foot thick siltstone, shale, and silty sandstone, which acts as the confining unit between the Mt. Simon-Hinckley aquifer and the Franconia-Ironton-Galesville aquifer. It consists of the Mt Simon Sandstone, which ranges from 125 to 270 feet in thickness and the Hinckley Sandstone, which is absent in many localities. In general, the Mt. Simon-Hinckley is hydraulically isolated from the shallow Chapter 11, Water Supply Plan Page 170 Final Figure 11.1 Bedrock Geology Source: SEH, Inc. Chapter 11, Water Supply Plan Page 171 Final groundwater systems and surface waters above it. Therefore, most of its recharge comes from leakage. The groundwater flow direction and approximate maximum thickness in the Fridley area is unknown. Typical yields to individual wells range from 400 to 700 gallons per minute; and total dissolved solids range from 79 to 2400 parts per million. According to the Regional Hydrogeologic Assessment of the Anoka Sand Plain, the sensitivity rating for the watertable system to pollution in the Fridley area ranges from very high in the central portion and eastern half to high in the northeastern, southwestern, and extreme western portions of the City. A sensitivity rating is a qualitative measure of the susceptibility of the aquifer to become contaminated from a release at the surface. The ratings correspond to an estimated travel time for waterborne contaminants at the land surface to reach the uppermost aquifer. A very high rating corresponds to a travel time of hours to months. A high rating corresponds to a travel time of weeks to years. The wellhead protection plan being prepared by the County should provide more distinct data for aquifer ratings. Surface Water Characteristics There are four lakes within the City of Fridley: Moore Lake, Locke Lake, Harris Pond and Farr Lake. Moore Lake consists of an east bay and a west bay. The lake is approximately 105 acres and has a maximum depth of 22 feet. According to the 1994 Minnesota Lake Water Quality Assessment, the mean total phosphorus, mean chlorophyll-a, and alkalinity values for the east and west bays during the summer are 58 and 99, 8 and 17, and 55,000 and 59,000 parts per billion, respectively. Water quality information for the other three lakes was not available. There is one major creek in Fridley called Rice Creek. It is located in the central portion of the City and runs east to west toward the Mississippi River. Rice Creek discharges into and out of Locke Lake in the western portion of the City near where it discharges into the Mississippi River. Water quality information is available from Rice Creek Watershed District for Rice Creek. 11.2 Existing Water Supply and Water Storage The following section describes the existing water supply system of Fridley. This system, which began in 1957, has taken approximately 50 years to construct and is nearly complete except for several minor improvements. Aquifer and Groundwater Supply The Fridley municipal water system depends upon the glacial drift, the Prairie du Chien-Jordan formation, the Franconia–Ironton–Galesville formation, and the Mt. Simon-Hinckley formation. The Prairie du Chien-Jordan group supplies Wells No. 6-9 and 12-13. The Mt. Simon-Hinckley group supplies Wells No. 1-5 and Well No. 11 is supplied from the Franconia-Ironton-Galesville group. Well No. 10 is served from glacial drift material. Wells No. 6, 8, and 9 were originally drilled to glacial drift but subsequently deepened to the Prairie du Chien-Jordan group. Municipal Wells The 13 municipal wells range in depth from 199 feet to 925 feet and have pumping capacities of 750 to 1,550 gallons per minute (gpm). Combined, the overall production capability of the city wells is 12,625 gpm or 18.18 million gallons per day (MGD). Therefore, the effective daily maximum pumping capacity is 15.95 Table 11.1 MGD. depicts the characteristics of the City's wells.

Simon-Hinckley aquifer and Well No. 11, which draws water from the Franconia/Galesville Formation. The 1998 static levels of all other wells are similar to the levels when the wells were originally drilled. Table 11.2 A comparison of the 1998 and 2007 well drawdowns, illustrated on below, shows the drawdowns in 2007 are reduced from 1998. A drawdown represents the distance the City must pump the water in order to reach ground level. In 2007, the water table was higher and, therefore, less energy was needed to pump water to the surface. Measurements taken by operations from 1982 through present illustrate that a stabilization, and varying slight recovery, in static and drawdown levels is occurring in Figure 11.2 Fridley’s wells. See , which shows data collected for Well 4 in chart format.

Wells No. 2 through 9 are located within Commons Park, Well No. 1 off Cheri Lane, Wells No. 10 and 11 in Locke Park, Well No. 12 on property st near the intersection of Highway 65 and 73 ½ Avenue, and Well No. 13 on East River Road and 51 Way. Only Wells No. 12 and 13 are near land uses that could have the potential for groundwater Chapter 11, Water Supply Plan Page 174 Final Table 11.3 contamination. below presents the characteristics of the ownership and land use of the well sites.

The majority of the system is constructed of cast iron pipe. Water is distributed into three service areas in the City that are divided according to topographical conditions. The low service area serves approximately 66% of the community and encompasses the western half of Fridley. Due to supply, fire flow, and operation issues raised in the 1989 Water System Study, the City constructed a 1.5 million gallon elevated tower in Locke Park to serve customers within this zone and to supply a portion of water to the intermediate and high service areas. Water pressure within this zone ranges from 45 to 85 pounds per square inch (psi). The low service area contains two booster pumps located at Commons Park that supplement the capacity of the nearby filtration plant. In 1993, the City, in conjunction with New Brighton and the United States Army, constructed a water main to distribute excess water from New Brighton to the City from the (TCAAP) remediation plants. This system supplies up to three million gallons of water per day during non-peak months and 0.25 MGD during the summer peak months to augment the City's supply system. The system is connected at 29th Avenue in New Brighton and extends through the 63rd Avenue booster station to the main service line on the west side of T.H. 65 at 63rd Avenue. The water from the New Brighton system is tested once a month for iron and manganese and weekly for chlorine. The City adopted an agreement with New Brighton to use the water for twenty-five years, subject to change. The intermediate service area comprises the eastern third of the City and approximately 33% of the total system demand. Pumps at Well Sites No. 1 and No. 12 transfer water from the low service area to this zone of the City. A water main loop near the Skywood Mall was completed within this area in 1991 to increase system reliability and to deliver required fire flows to the mall. The 63rd Avenue booster station was also reconstructed to receive the TCAAP water and provide better water service to the intermediate and high service areas. The extreme southeast portion of the community is included within the high service area. This area contains only 1% of the community and is entirely residential. The Marion Hills pumping station, which provides water pressure at 40 to 53 psi, serves this area as does a 1.5 million gallon standpipe ground reservoir. There is no elevated structure that serves the high service area. The city storage facilities include two elevated tanks and two ground reservoirs. One of the ground level reservoirs serves the low service area and the other consists of a standpipe that serves the high service Table 11.4 area and can serve the intermediate area. below provides characteristics of the existing water storage facilities. Chapter 11, Water Supply Plan Page 175 Final Table 11.4 Water Storage Capacity Average Day Demand Total Storage Capacity (average of last 5 years) 6,500,000 Gallons 3,892,000 Gallons per day Type of Structure Number of Structures Gallons Elevated Storage 22,000,000 Ground Storage 24,500,000 Water Supply Interconnections The City has a major interconnection with the City of New Brighton as described earlier, which introduces water into the low and/or intermediate water system. The primary purpose of the interconnection is to deliver flow from New Brighton to Fridley. However, in an emergency situation in New Brighton, the interconnection could be used in reverse to deliver water from Fridley to New Brighton. In this mode, the interconnection could deliver in excess of 3 MGD to New Brighton. The Fridley water system also provides water service to a limited number of residents of Coon Rapids, Mounds View, and New Brighton. But, the Fridley water system is not interconnected with the water systems of Coon Rapids and Mounds View. There are two physical interconnects, one with Minneapolis and one with Mounds View. As noted in the Introduction, a groundwater model of Anoka County was completed in 2005. Three of the aquifers underlying Fridley – surficial, Prairie du Chien – Jordan, and Mt. Simon – Hinckley – have been modeled separately. The Minnesota Department of Health has made the model available to each of the cities in Anoka County. It is the health department’s intention that each of the cities use the model and “build on it” to develop their wellhead protection plan. The wellhead protection planning rules have been established. The City of Fridley’s wellhead protection plan is under review as of the date of this update. Table 11.5Wholesale Interconnections Water Supply System Water Purchased (MGD) Capacity (MGD) 1.3 (average) 3.0 New Brighton via TCAAP Note - Purchase of wholesale water from the City of New Brighton is discretionary and is excluded in capacity calculations. 11.3 Treatment and Storage Capacity Facilities There are three water treatment plants – Commons Park, Locke Park, and Plant No. 3 – that filter most of the water consumed by residents of the City of Fridley. Originally the Commons Park and Locke Park water treatment plants removed only iron. In 1988, the Commons Park plan was upgraded to also remove manganese. A similar upgrade was completed at the Locke Park plant in 1994. Plant No. 3, located at Highway 65 and 73 ½ Avenue, was constructed as an iron and manganese removal plant in 1997. Commons Park again received upgrades in 2006 to its filter and backwashing system. Chapter 11, Water Supply Plan Page 176 Final The Commons Park water treatment plant has a nominal capacity of 8,400 gpm. However, the plant is not limited to the combined capacities of Wells No. 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 (7,925 gpm). The Locke Park water treatment plant operates at 2,000 gpm. Plant No. 3 only filters water from Well No. 12. Therefore, Table 11.6 its capacity is identical to that of Well No. 12 - 1,550 gpm. depicts the capacity of the City’s three water treatment plants.

An analysis of this experience over the past 22 years will assist in ascertaining the needs of the Fridley water system in the coming years. Water Demand Records Fridley is a nearly fully developed community and substantial growth is not expected based upon past trends and the availability of land for new development. The City has maintained records of water service connections since 1985. The 1985-1998 water use history is on file at the Municipal Center. The categories of connection type are general and are defined below: Residential - Includes all single family, two to four family buildings, townhomes, apartment buildings, condominium units and mobile homes. Chapter 11, Water Supply Plan Page 177 Final Commercial/Industrial - Combines commercial and industrial uses. Each service connection represents a single business, or group of businesses located in one building. Also includes nonprofit uses such as schools, churches, city, county, and state buildings. Table 11.8Table 11.9 depicts the number of water demands from 1998 through 2007. analyses changes in residential and non-residential connections.

After a slight drop in 2005, the connections continued to increase. The largest increase occurred in 2002. However, the annual increase in residential service connections has averaged only 0.12 % indicating a low level of residential growth. Chapter 11, Water Supply Plan Page 178 Final The combined commercial and industrial connections have increased at an average annual rate of 0.33 % since 1999. Institutional connections are included with the commercial and industrial connection numbers. Those connections have decreased from 46 in 1999 to 38 in 2006, for a loss of 8 service connections.

(Future water use is projected in Table 11.12 .) Water use by residential categories decreased between 1998 and 2007. Typical residential water use includes indoor household appliances, swimming pools, lawn irrigation, and other similar outdoor use. As noted later, the time of heaviest residential water use is during the summer months when outdoor use consumption substantially increases. Much of the residential summer use in Fridley is devoted to lawn irrigation and garden sprinkling. Commercial and industrial water use declined significantly between 1998 and 2007. The reason for the decline of 200 MGD annually is that Webb Printing no longer operates in Fridley and BAE reduced the size of its operations. Unmetered water uses include sprinkling of public properties, fires, fire hydrant flushing, under-registration of meters, leakage within the system and other municipal activities. Although there are a number of unmetered municipal water uses in the City of Fridley, the Water Department keeps estimates of the volume of water used for these purposes. Subtracting these estimates from the total unmetered water use results in unaccounted for water. Unaccounted water averages less than half of the recommended 10%. Apparent Losses, mainly from meter inaccuracies, totaled an estimated 20 MG in 2007. This component can be addressed through more accurate metering. The City plans to study the cost-effectiveness of an aggressive re-metering program. We have calculated the Unavoidable Real Losses (UARL) for the City of Fridley’s water system according to the AWWA method. The UARL for the system is 58.3 MG annually, which is in just below the Real Losses for 2007 (estimated at 60 MG). The City has an aggressive five-year infrastructure replacement program, and responds rapidly to distribution and service line repairs, as can be illustrated by the near concurrence of the UARL and actual Real Losses. Chapter 11, Water Supply Plan Page 179 Final Table 11.8 depicts the water pumped compared to water sold. The difference has been labeled “Unaccounted for Water” to reflect the fact that, although the water use is unmetered, it is estimated, and much of the water is billed for. Peak Water Demand As may be expected, the summer months are those that demand the greatest production of water with the winter months being relatively the lowest. Because outside water use by residential customers does not occur, the winter months will continue to be lower than the summer months. Table 11.11 depicts the seasonal and peak demand characteristics of water production for Fridley from 1999 to 2006. Table 11.11 Peak Water Production: 1999 2006 Winter Production (January) Summer Production (June) Maximum Monthly MonthlyAverage Daily MonthlyAverage Daily Year Production ProductionProductionProductionProductionMonth (MG) (MG) (MGD) (MG) (MG) 1999 44.5 1.5 101.8 3.4 135.4 August 2000 51.9 1.7 148.0 4.9 210.3 August 2001 60.1 2.0 124.7 4.1 235.7 August 2002 54.4 1.8 108.3 3.6 150.2 July 2003 94.5 3.1 129.2 4.3 263.9 August 2004 51.2 1.7 115.1 3.8 149.1 July 2005 56.1 1.9 126.8 4.2 217.6 July 2006 42.1 1.4 224.3 7.5 227.7 July Maximum monthly demands occurred during the 2006 drought when high temperatures accompanied little rainfall. The peak demand month occurred in August 2003 during the drought when 263.9 MG were pumped from the Fridley water system. The higher demand due to the drought was caused by greater water usage by customers for outdoor sprinkling and indoor cooling. 11.5 Sustainability As a result of the 1989 Water System Study, the City has completed several improvements to its water system. These improvements include the construction of a 1.5 million gallon elevated tank facility west of Highway 65, the 63rd Avenue booster station, filter plant No. 3 at 73 ½ Avenue and the Skywood Mall water main loop. Additionally, the City completed the TCAAP water distribution connection in conjunction with New Brighton and the United States Army to receive 3 million gallons of treated water per day during nonpeak months. However, certain other improvements are required in order to ensure reliability with the current system. Chapter 11, Water Supply Plan Page 180 Final Improvements, such as ongoing repairs and elimination of dead-end lines will assist the City in meeting supply, efficiency, control, resource sustainability and fire-fighting demands. As mentioned in the introduction of this chapter, Fridley is in the process of writing a contingency plan that meets the requirement of the Minnesota Department of Health’s Wellhead Protection Plan. Capital improvements that will aid Fridley in achieving sustainability of water supply, treatment, and distribution systems include refinement and implementation of a long-range capital improvement plan to include proactive and scheduled replacement of distribution system piping and components, storage facilities, and treatment plant elements. In late 2007, charter-mandated rate restrictions on the City’s Water Utility rates were eliminated through passage of referendum. Future rates need to be developed to sustain the components providing water supply and distribution to the community. Programs Aimed At Conserving Water Certain programs are aimed at conserving water and reducing demand. Fridley already tracks unaccounted water. Detecting and repairing leaks will minimize unaccounted for water use. Recovering unaccounted water will allow Fridley to establish and meet conservation goals. Fridley seeks to establish conservation goals that may be implemented during times of high unaccounted water. In 1999, Fridley began publishing an annual “water quality report” in its newsletters to educate the community about water regulations and the quality of the water resource. The report relays to what extent the City meets or exceeds guidelines for a variety of substances, which may occur in the water supply. The City regularly tests the water to determine if the water from certain wells should be used or blended with others to continue to meet guidelines. Fridley has considered instituting an odd/even water sprinkling ban during drought seasons. Although this type of water ban often increases overall water use, the peak demand would decrease. 11.6 Future Water Demand and Supply Although the City is nearly fully developed, there are still opportunities for the development of vacant commercial and industrially zoned land. Future water consumption needs are projected based upon past consumption and available land for new development. As of 2006, little vacant land existed for residential development. Increased density obtained through redevelopment would increase water demand. For example, the Metropolitan Council anticipates that 1,000 more households will be added to Fridley by 2030. Otherwise, the largest factor that will influence residential water demand will be climatic influences and residents' needs to respond to those influences. Droughts and heat waves are typical influences that cause an increase in residential demand for water. Demand Projections For planning purposes, the 1989 Water System Study (on file with the City) utilized a rate of 65 gallons per capita per day for residential purposes. This was based upon 1988 winter quarter water usage. The 1994 and 1998 water consumption records indicate an average annual per capita residential water use of Chapter 11, Water Supply Plan Page 181 Final 87 gallons per day in 1994 and 82 gallons per day in 1998. Therefore, a conservative of 90 gallons per day is utilized for the projected water supply in this study. In 2006, only 60 acres of the 1728 acres zoned for commercial/industrial use was undeveloped. For planning purposes, it is assumed that the remaining vacant acreage will undergo development by 2020 and possibly by 2010. The 1989 Water System Study estimated that water demand per acre per day was 1650 gallons based upon the winter billing rate. Further, this number represents a conservative approach in that it represents full occupancy of commercial/industrial properties. Table 11.12 Ten-Year Demand Projections Year Total Population Average Day Maximum Projected Community ServedDemand Day Demand Demand Population (MGD) (MGD) (MGY) 2010 27000 26635 4.33 10.96 1579 2020 26900 26900 4.35 11.03 1588 2030 27500 27500 4.41 11.19 1608 Ultimate 30000 30000 4.64 11.86 1694 Table 11.12 As indicated in , commercial/industrial water demands will slightly increase as additional property undergoes development. Although approximately 60 acres of commercial/industrial land remains undeveloped, the potential increase in water use is considered to be negligible compared to the existing commercial/industrial water use. The City of Fridley has one private water service within its limits, which serves a private mobile home park. It is anticipated that the City of Fridley will begin to provide service to these 365 customers between 2010 and 2020. The current capacity of the water supply system is sufficient to accommodate projected water demand. Treatment capacity exceeds pumping capacity. The system firm capacity (Fridley wells only, largest pump out of service) is currently 5,019 million gallons per year (MGY) and projected water demand in the year 2030 is 1,608 MGY. Including reasonable downtime for maintenance, capacity far exceeds projected demands. 11.7 Policies for Water Supply System Operations Policies The City has established the policies listed below that are directed towards the operation, improvement, and conservation of its water supply system. It is not anticipated that major expansions to the system will occur due to the status of development within the City. Based upon the inventory and analysis of future demands, the primary focus of the plan is service delivery and sustainability. 1.The City will provide municipal water service to residents and businesses in the community in the most fiscally responsible manner possible. 2.The municipal water system service will provide high quality water that will not negatively impact the natural water resources of the community or region. 3.The City will continue to make every effort within its means to provide high quality drinking water. 4.The emergency preparedness program will allow for the City to supply quality water to community users in a prioritized manner that protects the water resource to the extent possible. Chapter 11, Water Supply Plan Page 182 Final 11.8 Goals and Objectives Goals and objectives have been assembled related to water supply. The term goal is used throughout the Comprehensive Plan to define the City’s desired outcome relative to key community issues. Three of the four overriding goals that emerged from the 2007 neighborhood planning meetings can be related to the City’s water supply. Goals 1.Maintain Fridley as a desirable place to live 2.Maintain Fridley as a desirable place to invest in business 3.Keep Fridley a safe community for all to enjoy A sound drinking water supply is an essential part of the quality of life in a community. It is also essential to many businesses – particularly the many industries – in Fridley. Also, besides clean air, the most essential public health issue in a community is a clean, safe water supply. The following objectives were developed as the staff committee analyzed what was necessary to reach the goals of a sound drinking water supply that greatly affects the quality of life, business, and public health in Fridley. Objectives 1.Protect the quality and quantity of the Fridley drinking water supply 2.Provide a plentiful supply of drinking water in Fridley 3.A public informed about the safety of the public water supply 4.Maintain a sustainable water supply into the future 11.9 General Conclusionsand Action Steps Several conclusions were drawn from the analysis of the existing water supply system. These findings were discussed and debated and related action steps that could address the needs of the water supply system were developed. These action steps reflect the City’s general intentions and will guide the community in the attainment of goals. 1. During this past summer, water demand neared available supply for brief evening periods. Action Step: Staff needs to monitor summer hourly peak demands, and consider educational and legislative options to address these as needed. 2. In 2004, a water supply emergency plan was developed. The plan needs to be maintained to ensure reliable service to the community. Action Step: Update the emergency management plan, at minimum every 5 years, to incorporate the most recent technological advances. Chapter 11, Water Supply Plan Page 183 Final 3. Much has been accomplished in the past ten years to repair leaks in the water system. There will continue to be a discrepancy between the amount of water pumped versus the amount of water sold. In order to be sustainable, the City needs to monitor unmetered water use as an indicator of the condition of its distribution system. The City has a leak survey program in place. Action Step: The City needs to develop guidelines and anticipate actions if and when an unacceptable percentage of unmetered water usage is observed. 4. The removal of the charter amendment service fee restrictions will now allow the Fridley water utility to be fully-funded over time. Certain measures need to be taken to ensure sustainability of the system. Action Step: A rate study needs to be completed to establish the necessary revenue and optimum rate structure to sustain the long-term needs of the water supply and distribution systems. 5. Most of the City’s water distribution infrastructure is 45-55 years old. This means the City can expect much of the system to need replacement within a short time frame. Action Step: The City needs to develop a plan for systematically replacing water mains over a scheduled period as a means to distribute costs over time. 6.The integrity of Fridley’s well water supply is dependent upon the quality of water in different aquifers. As has been experienced in the past, contamination of that water has significant impact to the costs of running the system. A Wellhead Protection Plan is not only required by law, but it will help the City protect the City’s drinking water supply. Action Step: The City will complete and submit its Wellhead Protection Plan by the end of 2008. 11.10 Summary The current water supply system is sufficient to accommodate the projected future growth and redevelopment activities that will occur in Fridley to the year 2030 and beyond. Now that service fee restrictions have been removed by the recent referendum, the City can now focus on planning for a sustainable system in terms of rates and rate structures to address its long-range capital improvement needs and preservation of water resources. As long as the integrity of the existing water supply system is preserved, Fridley’s water supply system will adequately meet the needs of the community to 2030.

MOTION TO APPROVE MINUTES Commissioner Westby made the motion to approve the minutes, which was seconded by Commissioner Mulrooney, and the minutes passed on a unanimous vote. New Business GreenStep Cities priorities, next projects. A review of the spreadsheet prepared by Chairman Hansen took place. Commissioner Stoxen stated that reducing old style turfgrass and using techniques for No-Mow, Low- Mow and lawn alternatives is an important priority for him. He has seen some Chicago demonstration gardens and great examples of this principle put into practice. A general discussion about how to break some of the projects down by neighborhood commenced. Getting the block captains involved or neighborhood champions could be useful. Old Business Legislative-Citizen Commission on Minnesota Resources (LCCMR) Department of Natural Resources municipal tree grant update: plans for tree planting events with the Tree Trust for Oct. 20 and Oct. 22 are coming together slowly for planting of the 80 gravel bed nursery trees. The most likely locations are Riverview Heights Park and Craig Park. All of the gravel bed trees of various species did well, with the exception of the Bur Oaks, which do not look good. Staff will take a closer look to see if a cause for the problem can be identified. Medtronic has stated that they will be unavailable in October but could be available for planting around Nov. 4 with a large group, which would work if the weather continues mild. Medtronic had planted 35 trees in Commons Park in May and are interested in continuing to partner with the City. Karen Zumach from Tree Trust will create the planting plans and the Conservation Corps will pre-drill the holes which will greatly speed the planting. These two groups, along with the University of Minnesota and Hands-On Twin Cities, are all partners with the LCCMR-DNR grant projects through May of 2018. The other major planting site, the Mississippi River Trail at 694 location (Minnesota Department of Transportation landscaping grant), needs more help spreading bark and pulling weeds, plus tree wrapping is th needed. The group agreed to meet on Sunday, Oct. 15 at this location to do some of the work from 11-4 p.m. Staff will be present to help identify plants vs. weeds and to help direct the workflow if needed. Families and friends are welcome, since there is a lot of maintenance to do and bark mulch to move! Also, a brief discussion about how opt-in Organics collection is working in Minneapolis too place.

New Business Municipal tree planting: planning, funding and prioritization of locations. Summary of accomplishments, challenges and what was learned was discussed by staff and the Commissioners. Although it was a sprint to plant nearly 200 trees with volunteers in one growing season, working with a variety of groups to get it done was, for the most part, a big success! Corporate partners like General Mills, Cummins and Medtronic preferred to volunteer during the week. This enabled public works and planning staff to avoid overtime or extra travel time. These volunteers, with minimal training, produced well-planted trees, amazingly quickly. Medtronic groups could have planted at least 20-40 more trees during their May plantings session (one of two tree plantings in which Medtronic participated) during the time allotted. Staff loaded and unloaded trucks, supervised and provided advice and these plantings ran very smoothly without a disproportionate amount of labor. Working with youth groups for tree planting requires at least a two student to one adult volunteer ratio, which was not always possible. The 2016 Arbor Day event was fortunate to have ten University of Minnesota students volunteer along with a couple of Fridley School and Anoka County Master Gardeners volunteers—all were needed! Parents tended to drop off their children and leave, rather than participate in the Arbor Day event or help with the plantings. In working with the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency and the Youth Conservation Corps, site conditions like heat during the end of June made the East River Road and Mississippi River Trail location difficult. One reason was that many of the trees were not small containers because, in order to meet Minnesota Department of Transportation grant specifications, 20 gallon-sized container trees and some of the large balled and burlapped trees needed to be used and there was no way that junior high and early high school kids could handle the weight.So Public Works staff had to pre-drilled holes, help get them into the holes and in some cases, trees are too deep in the holes and cannot be corrected. Winterizing and guided tree pruning for structure, though, might work very well with this age group and have a nice educational component. There is an upcoming opportunity to test that idea with an educator named Kirby Rautio. Staff and volunteer planting groups from Commissioner Foel’s firm, EQE Commissioners Foell, Mulrooney and Westby as well as EQEC Chair Mark Hansen and other volunteers from local business Cummins, worked on pollinator planting, wildflower seeding and protecting plants against rodents and more. This was a very successful activity for volunteers. What else was learned? Watering takes longer than was estimated. The Gator-bags for shade trees, which hold around 20 gallons of water, were often empty in one day and the only practical way to fill lots of them is with a watering truck operated by two to three employees working during the week and on overtime on weekends. This is costly but until we can come up with a mobile stock tank that can be safely left on a park or planting site and then used by volunteers to fill the bags, lots of staff time is involved with the watering of trees, pollinators, raingardens and seeded areas. Arbor Day 2017. The last day in April is Arbor Day in Minnesota, however, the Commissioners discussed continuing to have the tree plantings on a Saturday. The group decided that Earth Day, 2017, which is on April 22, would be the date for Arbor Day plantings and to launch a City cleanup and environmental awareness week. 2017 Fridley Bike & Hike. Regarding the date for the Fridley Bike and Hike, Trails Day Celebration, Commissioners determined that the American Hiking Society designated Saturday, June 3 as the National date, so that seemed logical. It sort of launches the month of festivities in Fridley which includes Fridley Forty-niner Days. The object of the day is to emphasize the great trails in Fridley’s local and regional parks and to get families and kids out on these trails for fun and exercise and maybe introduce them to a new walking or biking location in the City. Chairman Hansen asked that the date be finalized after Commissioner Foell (excused) could weigh in on it, and determine his availability that day. Comprehensive Planning for Metropolitan Council requirements. A very brief discussion about what is involved with Comprehensive Planning along with some dates ensued. Meeting dates for 2017 were distributed. MOTION TO APPROVE 2017 Meeting Dates (attached) Commissioner Westby made the motion to approve the minutes, which was seconded by Commissioner Stoxen, and the 2017 EQEC Meeting Dates passed as presented, with a unanimous vote. Old Business th LCCMR Grant update: Tree Trust, Medtronic and Conservation Corps park planting work on Nov. 4. Winterization plan for volunteer mobilization to protect new trees in Commons, Community and Summit Square Parks: Commissioners Mulrooney, Westby and Foell have been very active in winterizing for the grant trees, shrubs, pollinators and in park cleanup. They brought friends, colleagues and family members to join in the work to place tree wrap and caging on the trees and shrubs to prevent rodent damage and sunscald. The Mulrooney clan cleaned up Community Park’s raingarden, winterized trees, did trash removal and identified a code enforcement issue with medical waste dumping. Thanks to all for the extra volunteerism! University testing new hybrid tree variety. Because flat-headed borers were found in all of the bare-root oak trees planted in the new gravel beds and in Commons and Summit Square Parks, those trees were all dead and a credit applied for with the supplying nursery. In order to make up the numbers for the Tree Trust/Medtronic plantings at Craig and Riverview Heights Parks, the University of Minnesota Urban Forestry Dept. professor Gary Johnson arranged for the City to obtain 12-Prairie Stature Oak trees (Quercus x bimundorum 'Midwest'), which is a cross between a native White Oak and an English Oak. The idea is to see if the best qualities of both parents come through to increase disease-resistance and vigor. Use of a greater variety of tree types, helps to also increase the resiliency of the City’s urban tree canopy. It became apparent this was necessary after the 2015-2016 tree inventory which showed very little species variation. That leaves the City municipal tree population at risk by increasing susceptibility to insect outbreaks, like the current Emerald Ash Borer epidemic. The Prairie Stature Oak trees were planted, along with about 60 other trees, at Craig and Riverview Heights Parks by Medtronic volunteers. Thanks to Medtronic, Gary Johnson, Tree Trust and the Conservation Corps! Other Changes in Chapter 113 (Solid Waste & Recycling) have been reviewed atPublic Hearing in front of the Planning Commission and at the Council meeting of October 24, 2016. The first reading was yesterday evening thth at the November 14, 2016 City Council meeting and the second reading will be on November 28, 2016.

Approval of Expenditure. MOTION by Commissioner Holm to approve the expenditures as presented. Seconded by Commission Eggert. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON COMMERS DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. 2. Approval of September 1, 2016 Meeting Minutes. Commissioner Gabel asked for the following changes to be made: (1) Page 6, third paragraph, second sentence, "To avoid that really what staff" she believed it should read "To avoid that what staff. . . ." (2) Page 6, fourth paragraph, should be corrected to read, "Mr. Bolin referred to Request for Proposals (RFP) in the memorandum. Attorney Casserly and he have had some discussions, and it may end up being referred to a Request for Qualifications. . . ." (3) Page 6, fifth paragraph, second sentence, eliminate the second sentence and then complete the paragraph stating, "Staff has a lot of soil reports and different environmental reports done. They can get out into the market place and share that Housing and Redevelopment Authority Meeting of October 6, 2016 2 information along with the other site constraints with the development community." (4) Page 7, fifth sentence, should read, "Then ideally, staff. . .maybe recommend a couple of developers the HRA. . . ." (5) Page 9, second paragraph, last sentence, should read "He encourages staff to consider taking a look at that." (6) Page 9, fifth paragraph, should read, "because one of the concerns at those meetings was if the parking garages would be difficult to put in there." Commissioner Backlund said page 2, paragraph 5, should read, "He is curious of what the process is as one goes into the seven-county pool and the rest of the money comes back here for fiscal disparities." Commissioner Eggert referred to page 2, paragraph 3. He asked if the dollar amount should be $408,000. Paul Bolin, HRA Assistant Executive Director, repliedthe amount should be $408,000 and not $480,000. Chairperson Commers asked the minutes be approved subject to corrections at their next meeting. 3. Approval of Administrative Contract - Home & Garden Show. Paul Bolin , Assistant Executive HRA Director, said for the last 19 years, the HRA has been the fiscal agent on behalf of the cities of Blaine, Mounds View, and Columbia Heights for the Home & Garden Show. The revenues from the booth rentals cover the expenses for the show. Since 2005, they have worked with Castle Visions to perform the administrative tasks. The Home & Garden Show members would like to work with Castle Visions for the 2017 Home & Garden Show which is going to be held on Saturday, February 4, at the National Sports Expo Center. Staff recommends approval of the contract authorizing the HRA to work with Castle Visions. MOTION by Commissioner Holm to approve the Administrative Contract - Home & Garden Show. Seconded by Commissioner Gabel. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON COMMERS DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. 4. Approval of Resolution Supporting Grant Application - DEED Redevelopment Paul Bolin, Assistant Executive HRA Director, stated Hyde Development is getting ready to do the clean-up needed to build Phase 4, the final phase of the Northern Stacks project. Mr. Hyde has identified the need for approximately $3 million in grants to complete this work. These Housing and Redevelopment Authority Meeting of October 6, 2016 3 grants would come from Met Council and from the State's Department of Employment and Economic Development. The grants require that the funds go through the HRA, which happened with the previous three phases of this project. Mr. Bolin stated the first grant program is DEED's Contamination Cleanup Program. This provides money for investigating and developing a Response Action Plan and then doing contamination clean-up that would go along with that plan. Mr. Hyde is seeking about $2 million from DEED for this particular program. Mr. Bolin stated the other program is the Met Council's Tax Base Revitalization Account (TBRA) Program. This is additional money for investigation and cleanup of contamination on the site. They are looking at approximately $950,000 from this program. Mr. Bolin stated the HRA has helped Mr. Hyde with these applications during the previous three phases and they have obtained nearly $6 million. This is Phase 4. Mr. Bolin stated staff recommends the HRA adopt two resolutions, one resolution for DEED's Contamination Cleanup Grant, and the other resolution under a separate motion approving the application to Met Council's TBRA Program. Paul Hyde, Hyde Development, stated they have started and now completed two buildings in Phase I which are on the south side of the park. The second building which is a 135,000 square foot office warehouse building was just completed last week. It is 100 percent occupied. In fact, they leased the building right as they were starting it. That is how much demand they are seeing. They did not have enough clean-up work done to be able to start another building any sooner than what they are doing now. They are starting their fourth building, in the Phase 3 site, which is what they call Northern Stacks 3. That started construction last week. Mr. Hyde stated hey have completed three buildings. All are 100 percent occupied. They are starting their fourth building which is the Northern Stacks 3 building. They will finish the clean- up of the Phase 3 site this fall. They have another few weeks to wrap that up. Now they are focusing on getting the clean-up grant applications in on November 1 for the Phase 4 portion of the site. Mr. Hyde stated in terms of their environmental clean-up, they have had Certificates of Completion issued for the Northern Stacks 1 building which was the first project. They have a request for the Certificate of Completion for the BAE Building and expect it by the end of the year. Shortly, they will submit their request for the third Certificate for the Stacks 2 building with Trio and MV2. They expect that Certificate to be issued in the first quarter of next year. Mr. Hyde stated so far everything is moving along, probably faster than what they told the HRA it would when they first started. It all seems to be going well. They are seeing really good activity from the leasing market. It may have started a little slower than what they hoped with the first building. That is typical of it being the first project on a much larger park. The old BAE building was still out there. It did not look great. They were talking about a vision that was harder for people to see--especially tenants. Once they got the BAE project done, people really Housing and Redevelopment Authority Meeting of October 6, 2016 4 could see what it would look like. They started Stacks 2 and filled that up immediately. They have not had another site ready to offer another building until the Stacks 3 project. Mr. Hyde stated they continue to do work marketing the boiler room for tap rooms. He thanked the HRA for their legislation as it helps out a great deal. That is the first thing any potential tenant asks when they walk in. They think the space is amazing and ask if the City has passed the ordinance. Now they are now able to reply, yes. People are interested in the very tall ceilings in the boiler room. It is very open and bright with a lot of windows which they are going to add. It has enormous history, not only with the site but with the stacks. They have had a showing with a different brewing company every other week. They have a lot of activity, and he hopes to have somebody in there next summer. Mr. Hyde said to wrap up, they have had three buildings built in full and all are open. They are starting their fourth project which will be ready in the spring of 2017. They will continue working through Phase 3 this winter and spring, trying to get those buildings filled up. Now their focus is on cleaning up the Phase 4 site, and that is the reason for their grant application. . Last summer they did the environmental investigation of the Phase 4 site, and they are preparing their grant application. They have already submitted their clean-up plan to the Pollution Control Agency. Staff at the Pollution Control Agency has indicated they will approve it in time for their November 1 application deadline. Commissioner Commers stated to Mr. Hyde he certainly deserves a lot of credit for developing this project. It is a little bit surprising, as it has come faster than they originally thought. There must be a great demand out there. Mr. Hyde replied it is really interesting. Their primary competition is in Rogers and Otsego. There has been an enormous amount of new product put up out there. He thinks it is a result of a lot of Wall Street capital that is interested in making some development returns and not just mortgage returns. Here they have won for people who want to be close to downtown, close to the employment base, close to transit, and close to their customers. If you have two employees and want the cheapest place to store boxes, this is not their project. If you want to have an in- field site location, they are the only game in town. They have been fortunate enough to launch their project with a good economic cycle. That along with getting the BAE project underway, has shown some momentum, and people who are tenants now see other people who are there. They have buildings to show them. They can see what it will look like. Commissioner Commers stated they look forward to them being able to get it finished. He asked if that would be next year. Mr. Hyde replied, depending on the economy, he thought it would be two to three years unless something happened and they slow down. They are really in good shape and they would not have been able to do any of this without the HRA getting that first development agreement put together which launched this whole project. Commissioner Gabel asked how it went when they got into the plating shop. Housing and Redevelopment Authority Meeting of October 6, 2016 5 Mr. Hyde replied two different things happened on Phase 3. There really have been almost four completely different sites environmentally which has been interesting. Phase 3 had two areas that had been historic concerns. One was called the paint shop which was just south of the boiler room and something BAE was focused on cleaning up. The other was the plating shop which was the Navy's issue. Neither party had ever had a chance to do anything about it because the building covered it. Once the building came up, they warned people they were going to have a summer to go in and solve the problem or else they were going to cover it with something else, BAE and the Navy spent their own money and addressed the paint shop and the plating shop. They excavated the soils and they met the cleanup standards. The cleanups are done, and the project is underway. Mr. Hyde said they have cleaned it up and treated it to the standards required by the agencies. Now they are looking to de-list another portion of that site. They have de-listed the soils. They have not de-listed the middle part. They are looking at working on that now that those two areas have been cleaned up. That may take a year, but now that the cleanup work has been done, that is a possibility. Commissioner Gabel asked if they have moved any of the soil. Mr. Hyde replied, absolutely. He cannot tell her the volumes but both in the paint shop and the plating shop, somewhere between 10,000 yards or so was excavated and treated. Some was taken off-site. Some treated soil met industrial standards, and he believed they used it under their parking lots. Commissioner Backlund asked if that would relieve any contingent liability that may exist after the project is completed. Mr. Hyde replied he cannot speak for those companies or those parties. The motivation was to spend some dollars to cut off future liability. He thought the motivation was that this was the only time in the next 50 years when there was going to be a hole in the ground. Commissioner Backlund stated he would assume the Navy would be anxious to do that to limit their liability. Mr. Hyde replied, again, he cannot speak for the Navy. His suspicion is they saw an opportunity to address the plating shop soils. Commissioner Gabel stated according to the MPCA they still have liability even if they have agreed to some extensive liability of the soil under one of those rooms. She forgot which one it was. That has been their baby for a long time. Commissioner Backlund stated that would be a risk assessment that they would be assuming, and they probably decided it was the least risky. Chairperson Commers stated he would think so and it is clean. Housing and Redevelopment Authority Meeting of October 6, 2016 6 Commissioner Backlund stated it is a great idea. Commissioner Gabel stated it is a very good deal for this community to have that cleaned up. MOTION by Commissioner Holm to approve the Resolution Supporting Grant Application - DEED Redevelopment.

Paul Bolin, Assistant Executive HRA Director, stated the numbers for loan programs and the Remodeling Advisor were much better than they have been for the past few years. They would like to see that continue. They are already at 16 loans for the year to date. Last year they only had 11. Remodeling Advisors had 5 last year, and they are already at 11 this year. They are starting to see positive impacts from those few changes they made last year to the loan program. The Home Energy Squad visits continue to be popular. They did 20 of those in September, and those numbers will go up over the next couple of months as well. They continue to get good feedback from the residents about the program. Chairperson Commers asked if there is still a $50 charge for the Home Energy Squad. Mr. Bolin replied the program is the same as it has been for the past few years. 2. Locke Park Pointe RFQ. Paul Bolin, Assistant Executive HRA Director,the Request for Qualifications was made available on September 16. They had 17 different development groups ask for copies. They had a mandatory pre-submittal meeting yesterday, and there were 8 developers represented at that meeting. They had local developers but also had a development group from Indianapolis, one from New York, and one from Kansas City. Mr. Bolin stated out of those 8 developers, there was a real nice mix of specialties. They all seemed to have done some different mixed use developments, but they did have one group that specialized in senior buildings. There were some that have been doing condos in the north loop Housing and Redevelopment Authority Meeting of October 6, 2016 7 and are now looking at this area. They had other groups there that had done office projects, residential projects, and retail projects. They were not sure how this would be received in the marketplace, but there are some people who are pretty excited about it. Mr. Bolin stated the real test will be at 12:00 p.m. on October 19 to see how many of these 8 have responded to the questions the City has asked. At yesterday's meeting, the developers had an opportunity to ask questions of the City's environmental consultant and soils person they have been working with. The developers have had a lot of access to all the different studies the City has done on this site over the past 1 ½ years. They have made everything available to the developers, and they are available for questions from them through next Wednesday. Chairperson Commers stated he noticed in the minutes Commissioner Backlund had raised the issue of every unit being the same and asking for some diversity. Was there any discussion or did he get any sense from the developers what they are talking about? Is it going to be a uniform type of patio home all the way through? Mr. Bolin said they did not get any of that feedback from those groups yesterday. He did not think anybody wanted to share their vision. When they refer to patio homes, they are really talking about the single-level homes such as what those in Blaine. These are nice owner- occupied homes where you have everything you need on one level. One of the groups they were talking to stated their homes start at $310,000. They are very nice homes, and they would be a buffer between the denser development to the north and the single-family neighborhood to the south. Chairperson Commers stated there are a bunch of patio homes on County Road I and I-35, right off the freeway in Shoreview. Mr. Bolin stated Fridley has some across the street in the Christenson Crossing neighborhood. Most of the homes there are two stories, but within the two stories, you have everything you need to live on the main floor. Patio homes are not a new product. They are just smaller single- family homes on smaller lots. Since staff does not know the market. They are looking to find the right development partner or partners and work with them to come up with a project that works for everybody. Mr. Bolin stated after they get the proposals back on October 19, staff will go through and see if there are one, two or three of them that seem to be better than the others. Then they would like those groups to have an opportunity to meet with the HRA Commission in November. Staff would ask the HRA to make a decision at their December meeting. 3. Existing City Hall Update Mr. Bolin stated there was a memo regarding the current City Hall and some ownership maps in the packet. The purpose was to let the HRA know of some of the challenges they will have in disposing of this site. If a new City Hall is constructed on another site, it will likely not be until late 2018 or some time in 2019 before City staff would be moved out of the current building. Housing and Redevelopment Authority Meeting of October 6, 2016 8 Mr. Bolin stated it is important they start working on this now. The City proper owns the building and the plaza in front, but the HRA owns the rest of the land around City Hall. The HRA owns land around the building immediately south of City Hall. They also own almost half of Fairview's parking lot on the other side of Fourmies Avenue. There are agreements with these different bodies on all those parcels. Jim Casserly and Vicki Loher-Johnson's office is working on this so when the time is right, they can dispose of the property either to their neighbors or to some other interested party. Mr. Bolin stated the next step is going to be having appraisals done for the parcels. They will do an appraisal of the City Hall property, the Fire Department parking lot, and the City's parking deck. They will look separately at the parking lot that surrounds the building just to the south and the parking lot on the other side of Fourmies Avenue. Once they have those values, they can sit down with the City Manager and discuss how to dispose of this between the City and HRA. Attorney Casserly pointed out it would take a lot of fill to get this site back up to grade with the neighboring properties. There are a lot of things they need to figure out over the next several months; however, they are months away from making any sort of recommendation to the HRA. Chairperson Commers asked if the City had any title insurance on this property. Mr. Bolin replied they just had a lot of work done. Chairperson Commers stated it would go way back to when it was initially acquired or built. Jim Casserly, Development Consultant, said at one time he was on a school board, and they had an issue with the county and city as to who owned what. It took many years of effort to readjust all the property values. It is not a foregone conclusion that is going to happen quickly. Chairperson Commers stated the agreements they have entered into may or may not cause some kind of permanent disability to being able to sell free and clear. He would think there would have been along with the initial title opinions, some kind of protection. Attorney Casserly replied he does not know if there is title insurance. There may have been, but the issues that have been raised are really not title insurance problems. These are all encumbrances and leases they have entered into as an Authority and have encumbered property that it owns. Chairperson Commers asked if there were boundary issues or other issues. Attorney Casserly replied, there is one little one and has to do with the property that is to the north. It is a question of ownership of the retaining wall and subterranean rights. It is all in agreements. A number of these things are where the adjacent property has the right to exercise the option to purchase. It may be prudent for the HRA at some point to talk to them about exercising their option. They have rights for the next 50-60 years. There are all kinds of obligations the HRA has to clean up the parking area and there are a number of things they are supposed to do for some years. They may want to see if there is some way they can try and resolve those issues. Housing and Redevelopment Authority Meeting of October 6, 2016 9 Attorney Casserly stated most of the issues that have arisen are ones they have entered into to facilitate either the developers to the north and south of them to provide adequate parking that they do not have exclusive rights to. If the HRA is going to sell its property, the appraiser has to know how much property is available to park and how much or what kind of other encumbrances there are on some of this ownership. With respect to the survey now, there was a fourth supplemental opinion which was just a little touch up on one of the issues. The survey is now in excellent shape. Attorney Casserly stated with the current survey and with the title opinion commitment that exists now, the appraiser will have all the information they need. He referenced a notebook he had which contained all the documents impacting the property the City and HRA owns. It is about 500 pages. They just have to sort these out. Chairperson Commers replied they have talked about some of these issues before. For example, the office building next door, the maintenance of that parking lot, the plowing of that parking lot has come up many times as has the strip of land by the clinic. That would be the most recent agreement. There should be records related to each one of these events and how they got resolved at the time. Attorney Casserly replied they have all of the documents. They certainly have the time to sort these out. They had recommended having an appraisal done. They really do not know what kind of values they are talking about in today's market. Chairperson Commers stated he also noticed that on the First American Title insurance Company commitment, they do talk about the issuance of an ALTA Owner's Policy. As they say a lot of these issues are not covered by the policy. That should be analyzed completely because now that he looks at it closer, it looks like there was a policy issued. Attorney Casserly said this appears to be a commitment to issue a policy. Chairperson Commers stated this would be the first upfront document. The policy would then follow, along with the commitment itself which is continued with schedules. Attorney Casserly stated they spent a lot of time with the surveyor when they knew this needed to be addressed. Paul Bolin and the City Manager strongly suggested they start identifying these issues and start addressing this so that when the appropriate time comes, and that may be a year from now, they will be in a position to do something. Commissioner Backlund asked Attorney Casserly, if the 500 pages of document are akin to an abstract. Attorney Casserly replied, not exactly. These are leases, development agreements, cross easements; all of which the HRA or the City have entered into as it impacts all the different parcels. Housing and Redevelopment Authority Meeting of October 6, 2016 10 Commissioner Backlund asked Attorney Casserly if there has ever been an abstract for this property. Attorney Casserly said he is sure there has been. Commissioner Commers replied, Anoka County usually keeps the abstracts. If there is one, it might be in the County's office. Commissioner Backlund stated at least they could tie it back to some fixed point in time. Attorney Casserly stated any time you have redevelopment, you are going to have all these kinds of issues. There are access roads in here. At some point you are going to have to either dedicate those or make sure the access works for whoever purchases it as well as for the adjacent properties. Commissioner Backlund stated it seems as though at some point in time some of the County revenue was somewhat loose in the way they issued some of these properties. Attorney Casserly replied with the development that occurred just to the south of City Hall, there was a real emphasis to try and get that developed, and that led to working out all kinds of parking issues.

Your questions and suggestions will be incorporated into a final budget to be presented December 1. HousingandRedevelopmentAuthorityMeetingofNovember3,20164 Commissioner Eggert was concerned about taking money out of the loan programs for other things but it is building up again. Ms. Peterson replied that the Authority does have nice reserves in the housing loan program and reserves in the receivables. Chairperson Pro Tem Gabel would like to see the different amounts in the TIF districts. Ms. Peterson replied that those are best looked at through the reports Mr. Casserly works with Greg Johnson to put together for cash flow planning. Commissioner Eggert asked for explanation of the last page that summarizes everything. Ms. Peterson replied that it shows where the anticipated fund balance will be for all the funds. We are anticipating $10m in fund balance from cash or any receivables owed to the HRA. $6.293m total fund balance ending 2017. Jim Casserly , Development Consultant, added that the amounts of the cash balances can be used for other programs. There are some cash balances that are restricted where the cash in those districts can be used like only for specific activities. Unrestricted cash balances are about $6.5m. Ms. Peterson added that is primarily in the housing loan program and the general fund. Chairperson Pro Tem Gabel was looking for money for the Columbia Arena project because we will need money for that. Mr. Casserly replied yes, the policy is that you make advances to projects through internal financing, therefore there are the interfund loans. That is why the general fund is what it is because that is where the funds were borrowed from in the first place. Once TIF districts begin to make money the funds go back to the general fund. The general fund will have revenue coming in for several years because of the loans that were given from that fund. We want to finance investments as inexpensively as possible and we will have time to look at ways to do that. Chairperson Pro Tem Gabel said that the Authority is in a decent position to go forward with those things because of the revenue. I like seeing the different districts because sometimes the money can be pooled and sometimes it can be moved. Mr. Casserly replied that as districts reach their end, whatever revenues that can be used for legitimate expenses will be spent or the funds will go back to the general fund. MOTION by Commissioner Eggert to approve the Preliminary 2017 HRA Budget. Seconded by Commissioner Backlund. HousingandRedevelopmentAuthorityMeetingofNovember3,20165 UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, CHAIRPERSON PRO TEM GABEL DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY 6.Locke Park Pointe / City Hall / Columbia Arena Update Paul Bolin , HRA Assistant Executive Director, stated that on September 16, staff released a request for qualifications (RFQ) to begin the process of selecting a developer/partner for private development around the proposed municipal campus. In total, 17 developers requested copies of the RFQ and supporting documents. Eight different developers were represented in a mandatory, pre-submittal meeting on October 5. Mr. Bolin said that in the days leading up to the RFQ submittal deadline, what we heard from a few developers, is that they are/were too busy to get responses to us and that the uncertainty surrounding the construction of City Hall causes some concern. Mr. Bolin said at noon on Wednesday, October 19, we had RFQ responses from one developer, Dominium. While they are class leaders in senior buildings, their vision for the site did not extend beyond them building a 200 unit senior building. They did not bring any partners forward to develop the rest of the site. Mr. Bolin stated that the RFQ response from Dominium did not address the entire site. To proceed with Dominium as a development partner, at this time, would require the Authority to go out and find other developers to construct patio homes and other multi-family units. With the RFQ, we were really looking for a developer or team of developers to take on the development of the entire site. We are recommending that the Authority adopt a motion rejecting the response to the RFQ received. Mr. Bolin said that staff is also recommending waiting until, at least, early January to go out with a new RFQ. This timeframe will work better for the developers that are scrambling to finish projects this fall, but more importantly we will know with much more certainty that City Hall is a go or not. The Council is authorizing the bond sale for construction of City Hall on November 14 and residents will have 30 days to gather enough signatures to put the issue up for special vote. If there is not a successful petition, we can issue the RFQ in January. If the signatures are gathered, and a special election forced, we would delay issuing the FRQ until the issue is decided, likely in March. Staff recommends the Authority approve a motion to reject the October 19 RFQ Response received from Dominium, for the Locke Park Pointe redevelopment. Chairperson Pro Tem Gabel agreed that one developer is not enough and understands how other developers may be cautious about a development that may or may not go forward. Commissioner Backlund asked if staff would debrief with the non-responsive people. Mr. Bolin replied that staff has talked to several of them that showed up for the meeting on th October 5. The reasons they didn’t respond were timing, they are too busy, and the uncertainty if city hall will be built or not. HousingandRedevelopmentAuthorityMeetingofNovember3,20166 Commissioner Backlund asked what would give us a better feeling for responsiveness. He doesn’t want to repeat the same process and expect a different result. Wally Wysopal, City Manager, replied that the timing of it was an issue and greater certainty of the city hall portion. Once it is confirmed city hall would be built that would grant more certainty that the rest of the development will be doable. Commissioner Backlund confirmed that until we tie down the certainty of city hall, people won’t respond. Mr. Bolin replied that we don’t plan to go out with an RFQ until that is known. Commissioner Eggert asked what is the site plan for the developer without the city project? It can change tremendously. Chairperson Pro Tem Gabel agreed that once they have something they can count on then it’s worth the effort to put the time and energy into it. That will be avoided once they know the development will be going forward. Right now, that is unknown. Mr. Bolin thought staff would get a better response on bids if they wait until after January; or March if this goes to special election. MOTION by Commissioner Eggert to reject the response from Dominium. Seconded by Commissioner Backlund.
