UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, MAYOR LUND DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF APRIL 14, 2014 PAGE 4 PUBLIC HEARING: 11. Consideration of an Ordinance Amending City Ordinance No. 1095, the Prevailing Hours of Labor and Prevailing Wage Rate on Certain Projects for or With the City. MOTION by Councilmember Saefke to open the public hearing. Seconded by Councilmember Barnette. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, MAYOR LUND DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY AND THE HEARING WAS OPENED AT 7:12 P.M. Mr. Hickok stated in 1997, Fridley adopted Ordinance No. 1095, adopting the prevailing hours of labor and prevailing wage on certain projects for or with the City. The intent of the ordinance was to ensure that projects subsidized by the City were built by quality contractors who were paying fair wages. The ordinance was written in the broad sense that anticipates all projects are somehow subsidized by the City and its Housing and Redevelopment Authority. That is not always the case. Mr. Hickok stated in the case of the current Cielo project, Gateway Northeast, the developer is paying fair market value for the land. There is a caveat there. They are paying $1.7 million essentially for public improvements rather than the City paying for public improvements in exchange for $1.5 million worth of land. Mr. Hickok stated, as such, Ordinance No. 1095 penalizes the developer for purchasing land from the HRA. Final details of the development were being put into place through the development agreement for this project, and Ordinance No. 1095 was discussed. It is clear the ordinance did not anticipate a development such as this where the land was being purchased at its fair market value with no subsidy. Mr. Hickok stated Subdivision 2(c) of the new ordinance reads "wages paid for all work performed on any project for a Developer in conjunction with the Developer's development of real property in the City if the Developer purchases said real property from the City for less than its fair market value or if the City grants or loans money to the Developer for the development of said property, shall be paid in accordance with the prevailing wage and hourly rate." The revision would exempt projects that are paying fair market value for city-owned land for the prevailing hour and wage requirements. Councilmember Barnette stated he was on the Council in 1997 when this prevailing wage ordinance was passed, and it had tremendous support, particularly from the labor unions and the City itself. He realizes this project is a little bit different. The big thing back then was if a project was receiving TIF funds from the City, only those projects had to pay prevailing wage. Some believe that means they have to be union; however, that is not true. He asked Mr. Hickok to explain the difference between tax increment financing on the one hand and what that word "subsidy" means and the small change in the ordinance. He asked if this had to do with the price of the land. FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF APRIL 14, 2014 PAGE 5 Mr. Hickok replied, that is correct. Tax increment financing is a term we are all familiar with. In this particular case on that land where the City took the buildings down, there are approximately six acres along University Avenue on the east side. The City is the beneficiary of the tax increment financing. The City bought those on a fair market purchase arrangement in each case, and the City is going to reimburse itself, and the HRA is going to reimburse itself through tax increment financing. Therefore, the developer is not getting tax increment financing on this. Mr. Hickok stated what the developer has agreed to do is pay a fair market price for the land. Some of them may hear and ask about them getting land for one dollar. What they are doing is getting the land for a dollar, but the fair market value is $1.5 million of the land; they are paying around $1.7 million in public improvements the City would have otherwise done to prepare the land, such as taking out the frontage road, the MnDOT fence, etc. Basically the developer is paying in excess of the full value of the fair market value of the land which then makes it a fair market purchase and no subsidy to them is being given. Mr. Hickok stated staff is suggesting the ordinance be slightly modified so they do not get penalized by buying the land from the City rather than from a private owner and that, in the event they are paying fair market or above, they are not subject to these other caveats of hourly rate and hours. Councilmember Saefke stated this particularly situation would be no different than if a developer bought a lot from the City of Fridley in the scattered housing program. It is not the City's property any longer but the person who purchased it, and they can then hire anybody they want to build a house or do whatever the property is zoned for. The City really does not have much of a say. He agrees with Councilmember Barnette that in principle and belief prevailing wage is a good idea especially on City projects. He does not have a problem with this minor adjustment. Mr. Hickok said on this particular project, the developer has an interesting set of circumstances. Not only do they pay a good wage, but Trident Line Construction owns its own construction. They own their own concrete company and they are partners with an employee-owned mechanical contractor company that does the HVAC plumbing, etc. On all of its jobs, they work from project to project to project. They do this so they can have consistency. Oftentimes big contractors do this because they want consistent, good workers on their concrete, electrical, and plumbing. They need to pay them to keep them. Part of the discussion was if they were to look back at the discussions in 1997, the City did not want projects built poorly nor did it want them built on the back of the worker at cheap labor price only to get the developer rich on the deal. Councilmember Barnette stated a good example is the developer who built the project on the old Sandy's site which is a very, very nice project that was well done and well accepted by all the residents. Councilmember Bolkcom stated this ordinance is not just for this project. They spent a lot of time on it, they have really good organization and they have their own construction people, but this is also a change that would continue until the ordinance gets changed again if it did. She is FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF APRIL 14, 2014 PAGE 6 not against this but this is not just an ordinance for this situation; it would be for any project going forward. They have to be careful changing an ordinance just because of one company. In 1997, they did a good thing at that point but they did not think of this scenario where they really are paying market value for the property so it is a different scenario. However, there could be other companies that come along on a future property the City has bought and has bought through TIF. In 1997, it was not just for TIF because sometimes the City does things related to TIF. Granted the TIF was to get rid of the building, but now it is for the land itself and improvements going to the land. Each individual project that comes forward, if this was not passed, has to be weighed against what is in the ordinance now. Mr. Hickok stated it is rare they have a situation, frankly, where the City is not subsidizing on one level or another with HRA redevelopment. However, that is part of the redevelopment picture. Redevelopment is more difficult than green field development, going out to an empty field and building a building. It is much easier than consolidating parcels and taking down existing buildings, etc. Therefore, the redevelopment game oftentimes has you subsidizing the project in order to compete with those green field sites. This project is a bit rare in that there is not a subsidy in here. The TIF goes to the City, it does not go to the developer. The real cost of the land is being borne out by the improvements the developer is putting in that the HRA would normally be putting in. Councilmember Varichak stated she is in favor of this. It is nice to be able to see things change and they may have to tweak a few ordinances, etc. as they see fit. This is a good thing to do, and they just have to treat each case as it comes on board. They have to do things to really get things done and make improvements in the City. Mr. Wysopal asked Mr. Hickok whether Council would still have discretionary authority to impose prevailing wage on a project. Mr. Hickok stated, yes. This does not change Council's discretion or ability to do that. It just takes that one remarkable situation and puts a caveat on it where you are paying market value. Mayor Lund asked whether staff has received any e-mails/phones on this from the public. Mr. Hickok replied none that he is aware of. Mayor Lund stated he did receive a phone call today and a follow-up e-mail from a Dan McConnell who is the business manager of Minneapolis Building and Construction Trades Council. In his e-mail he apologized for not attending tonight's meeting in person. Mr. McConnell goes on to state, "The Minneapolis Building and Construction Trades Council appreciates the City of Fridley's support of prevailing wage. They believe the ordinance has served the City well since its inception in 1997 under then Mayor Jorgensen and would encourage you to strongly resist any changes to the prevailing wage ordinance simply requiring contractors and developers to pay their employees a fair wage for an honest day's work." FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF APRIL 14, 2014 PAGE 7 MOTION by Mayor Lund to receive an e-mail from Dan McConnell, Business Manager, Minneapolis Building and Construction Trades Council, dated April 14, 2014. Seconded by Councilmember Bolkcom. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, MAYOR LUND DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. Mayor Lund referred to Subdivision 2(c). He said he questioned it because grants or loaning of money tells him it is like a TIF. In this case as Mr. Hickok explained, it seems to be just a finessing of things instead of the TIF money going back to the developer. Mr. Hickok stated he is glad Mayor Lund made the above statement because it is not finessing. The City is getting the tax increment financing. That is not going back to the developer. What the City is doing, though by buying 11 buildings and tearing them down, is covering its costs eventually by TIF paying the City back for tearing down 11 buildings and readying the land so it has a bare piece of land it can get a market value on. That market value was set out there, and the developer is going to pay the equivalent or in excess of that market value. Mayor Lund asked for the valuation of all the remedial work the HRA has done to date? So far the total cost is around $2.7 million. Mr. Hickok replied that will need to be recovered from the TIF. Mayor Lund asked if the City will get the $2.7 million back for the expenses it has incurred to date. Mr. Hickok replied, over the course of the district. That is the difference between the sale price of the land and the overall cost of readying the land. There was a lot of demolition cost. The HRA is trying to compete with bare land, and in order to compete, it has consolidated parcels and made bare land so we can get development. The remediation work has yet to be done, which is something the developer is doing in lieu of paying for the land. Mayor Lund stated the HRA has invested approximately $2.7 million to date and there is another $1.7 million in other things yet to come. Mr. Hickok stated the HRA has about $4.8 million in it. The difference between $1.5 and $4.8 million is the City is going to recover that through tax increment financing. The City bought the land, bought the buildings, tore down the buildings, and all of that has a cost. It costs so much to take down buildings to get to bare land again. The bare land is worth $1.5 million, and the City paid $4.8 million to get there. Therefore, instead of the developer getting the benefit of tax increment, the City and HRA will be repaid for their investment to get this bare piece of land ready to sell at a market rate to a developer. Mayor Lund said so the $4.8 million they invested is coming back in TIF over time, and the $2.7 has no bearing on their discussion tonight. FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF APRIL 14, 2014 PAGE 8 Mr. Hickok replied if you add the $2.7 million and $1.5 million and some of the other readying costs, it is around $4.8 million in value. That is what the City wants to recover. Mayor Lund asked what the timeline was for the TIF on this case. Twenty years? Mr. Hickok replied 25 years. Mayor Lund stated if they are going to have quality workmanship done and pay those people a livable wage, why do they have this need for removal of the prevailing wage language? Is it because they already have contractors or divisions in their own company who do that but they must pay those people a fair wage to live on? Mr. Hickok replied, yes, they are paying them extremely well so they do not jump ship. They will be the first to point out this is not an issue of the workers going home with less than if they were getting a prevailing wage salary. Mayor Lund asked why they needed this out of there. Mr. Hickok replied, the difference here is, for example, they have contractors they use from job to job. With all the plumbing, HVAC, etc., they will not work it if they have a prevailing wage requirement because of the documentation and the tedious paperwork that goes along with it. When they have a quality building and competitive wage, but yet they have endless amounts of paperwork and auditing to prove they are a prevailing wage operative, they would rather move on to another job; and that is harmful to a contractor like this who uses the same group time and time again. It is the paperwork and auditing and future auditing that is necessary that is tedious and counter to their production and quality building they want to be doing. Mayor Lund stated he can understand that to a point, because he had to pay prevailing wage and it was laborious to do the paperwork. However, this developer is working on a much bigger scale where they pay a person to take care of it. Mayor Lund referred to Subdivision 1, the whole paragraph, is one long sentence. He suggested making it two sentences at least. He suggested starting the third line to read, "means and highest quality of labor reasonably available." Omit "and that" and start the new sentence "Persons working under. . . ." Councilmember Bolkcom asked perhaps Mr. Hickok could compare this to some other recent projects the City has had. Mr. Hickok replied Medtronic was a prevailing wage project. There was tax increment financing to the developer. Councilmember Bolkcom stated the difference here is they are not getting any money from the HRA to do any actual structural things like the Medtronic’s example. Some of the TIF money went towards building a parking ramp. FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF APRIL 14, 2014 PAGE 9 MOTION by Councilmember Barnette to close the public hearing. Seconded by Councilmember Bolkcom. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, MAYOR LUND DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY AND THE HEARING CLOSED AT 7:38 P.M. NEW BUSINESS: 12. First Reading of an Ordinance of the City of Fridley, Minnesota, Amending City Ordinance No. 1095, the Prevailing Hours of Labor and Prevailing Wage Rate on Certain Projects for or With the City. Mr. Hickok stated the ordinance would contain that simple modification with the paragraph reading as follows: "Wages paid for all work performed on any project for a Developer in conjunction with the Developer's development of real property in the City if the Developer purchases said real property from the City for less than its fair market value, or if the City grants or loans money to the Developer for the development of said real property, shall be paid in accordance with the prevailing wage and hourly rate." MOTION to waive the reading of the ordinance and adopt the ordinance on first reading, with the changing of Subdivision 1 suggested by Mayor Lund, and correcting the name "FRIDLEY" at the bottom of the ordinance. Seconded by Councilmember Saefke. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, MAYOR LUND DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. NEW BUSINESS: 13. First Reading of an Ordinance Amending Fridley City Code, Chapter 28, Carnivals. MOTION by Councilmember Bolkcom to continue this item until the April 28, 2014, City Council meeting. Seconded by Councilmember Saefke. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, MAYOR LUND DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. 14. Preliminary Plat Request, PS #14-02, by Fridley Land LLC, a Minnesota Limited Liability Company, Fee Owner of the Property Situated in the County of Anoka, State of Minnesota, and Described as: Lots 1 and 2, Block 1, Armament Systems Division, Anoka County, Minnesota, to be Reconfigured through Platting as: Lot 1, Lot 2 and Lot 3, Block 1, Northern Stacks, Generally Located at 4800 East River Road (Ward 3). Scott Hickok, Community Development Director, said this property was rezoned from M-2, Heavy Industrial, to S-2, Redevelopment District last year with the redevelopment of the FMC FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF APRIL 14, 2014 PAGE 10 site, now being called Northern Stacks. Mr. Hickok stated the replat will consist of three lots legally described as Lots 1, 2, and 3, Block 1, Northern Stacks. Lot 1 will be 12.36 acres, Lot 2 will be 13.69 acres, and Lot 3 will be 94.48 acres. Phase 1 will allow the construction of the following two buildings: a 213,000 square foot bulk warehouse building on Lot 1 and a 135,000 square foot office warehouse building on Lot 2. Mr. Hickok stated the Planning Commission held its public hearing on March 19, 2014, and unanimously recommended approval with no stipulations. Staff recommends concurrence with the Planning Commission. Councilmember Bolkcom stated since this is an S-2 district, anytime there might be changes in any one of these lots as far as it be developed in relationship to the master plan, it would have to come back to the Planning Commission and the City Council. Correct? Mr. Hickok replied, as long as the changes are consistent with the stipulations of the S-2 redevelopment they would not; however, if they are vastly different and would strike against the stipulations approved, then it needs to come back. This plat is to further break up the property and is relative to each building and eventually set on its own lot. It does not necessarily do anything to the buildings themselves. It basically puts them on their own lot. Paul Hyde, Fridley Land LLC, stated first of all, kudos to City staff as this is a complex project with a lot of moving parts. Staff has been wonderful to work with, and they are very grateful to have that great partnership. They have been fortunate to have received grant awards from DEED for $500,000 for the infrastructure grant they applied for in September 2013. They were also funded by both DEED and Met Council for pollution cleanup grants which awards they received in January 2014. The reason for the preliminary plat tonight is they hope to start the clean-up in the next four weeks on the site. The work would start with the cleanup of the entire Phase 1 site, as well as the construction of the first bulk warehouse building. They look forward to having more news in terms of tenants and possible groundbreaking coming up depending on the weather. MOTION by Councilmember Bolkcom to approve Preliminary Plat Request, PS #14-02, by Fridley Land LLC. Seconded by Councilmember Saefke. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, MAYOR LUND DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. 15. Resolution Approving Application to the Metropolitan Council Environmental Services Clean Water Fund I/I Grant Program. James Kosluchar, Director of Public Works, stated Fridley's wastewater, along with wastewater from most metro cities, is collected and routed to a Metropolitan Council Environmental Services regional wastewater treatment plant in St. Paul. Inflow and infiltration into this system introduces clear waterflow to the sanitary sewer collection system and treatment systems and increases the cost of collection and treatment of wastewater. FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF APRIL 14, 2014 PAGE 11 Mr. Kosluchar stated MCES has encouraged cities to reduce the amount of I/I through a combination of surcharges, education, and funding assistance. Fridley has a direct interest in reducing I/I, as it is charged for wastewater treatment based on the amount of flow out of its community. It is significant, and in 2013 it accounted for $3.58 million in costs or 79 percent of the Sewer Division budget. Mr. Kosluchar stated some sources of inflow and infiltration relating to private sewer systems are basically going to be sources such as list sanitary sewer laterals to the City's main or a foundation drain. Mr. Kosluchar stated through efforts of the Metro Cities Association and Metropolitan Council, in 2013 the Legislature approved $1 million of state Clean Water Partnership Grant funding. It was for a cost-share program for I/I reduction. This was in addition to a previous $4 million in 2012 bond funding for public I/I projects which the City was the recipient of. Mr. Kosluchar stated MCES met with the cities and developed a program with their input. Fridley is one of 50 eligible cities. The grant program basically amounts to a grant of up to one- third of the contracting cost; $2,000 maximum for inflow/infiltration reduction to private property owners. Eligible work includes repair of private sewer service lines and/or disconnection of a foundation drain. It is retroactive to July 15, 2013. Mr. Kosluchar stated there is a one-page application if Council approves it tonight. An estimated cost from the contractor would need to be provided or a copy of a paid invoice would need to be submitted for completed work. For sewer lateral, the service must be active, and the City will review fund applications and submit them to the Met Council to encumber funding. It is immediately encumbered upon their approval. Mr. Kosluchar stated successful applicants will then be notified, and they have one year to complete the work after approval of the grant and encumbering the funds. The City will process a grant agreement with Met Council if the City does have applicants. The City would distribute funding. Mr. Kosluchar stated grants are competitive with all applications in the metro area; therefore, the owners in Fridley are competing with owners in, for example, Golden Valley, or any of the 50 eligible communities. Also, the money is available on a first-come, first-served, basis. If you are in need of a sewer repair or a foundation disconnection or if you have had that work done in the latter half of 2013, then you should apply soon. Mr. Kosluchar stated if approved, the materials will be available on the City's website or people can call Public Works at 763-572-3566 and request an application for a sewer lateral repair grant. Mr. Kosluchar stated the attached resolution basically authorizes Fridley to apply for funding from the program. It directs Mr. Kosluchar or his designee to process additional documentation as necessary. Staff is requesting that Council adopt the resolution to authorize application to Metropolitan Council Environmental Services for their 2013 Clean Water Fund I/I Grant Program. If approved tonight, application will be made to the MCES immediately. The FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF APRIL 14, 2014 PAGE 12 application materials will be posted by Wednesday, April 16, on the City's website; and the City will begin processing applications. Councilmember Bolkcom asked as a homeowner, if she needed that work done, how soon would she hear back. Mr. Kosluchar replied once staff submits an approved application to the Met Council they are saying they could turn it round in 10 days. Councilmember Bolkcom stated they will pay one-third. How does one know the contractor you have is reasonable one. Mr. Kosluchar replied you will get multiple quotes. Particularly if it is not an emergency. Councilmember Bolkcom asked is there a set amount no matter what you are having done. Mr. Kosluchar replied, the maximum amount is $2,000. It is one-third of the contracted cost. It does not pay for in-kind. If the homeowner does any of the work, it does not reimburse them for that or for any materials the homeowner supplies. MOTION by Councilmember Saefke to adopt Resolution No. 2014-34. Seconded by Councilmember Varichak. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, MAYOR LUND DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. OLD BUSINESS: 1. Second Reading of an Ordinance Amending Fridley City Code Chapter 101, Animal Control, Section 101.01 Definitions; Section 101.04 Animal Nuisance; Section 101.05 Dog Licensing; Section 101.06 Revocation; Section 101.07 Exemption; Section 101.08 Fees; Section 101.09 Impounding; Section 101.10 Animal Bites, Quarantine; and Fridley City Code, Chapter 11, General Provisions and Fees, Section 11.10 Fees. Councilmember Bolkcom referred to page 18, Paragraph B, “The application shall include the owner’s name, address, phone and e-mail address; . . .." Some people do not have an e-mail address or do not want to give it. Her understanding is you can still have the dog license. Councilmember Bolkcom stated also as to Paragraph C, could bullets be used: C. It shall be the owner's responsibility for maintaining current vaccinations at all times. The owner must provide proof of current rabies vaccination upon request or demand by the following: i. City's licensing authority, FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF APRIL 14, 2014 PAGE 13 ii. Animal Control Officer, iii. Police department, or iv. Individual that may have been harmed, injured, or bitten by the dog. Mayor Lund asked for clarification on not having to provide the e-mail address. Darcy Erickson stated technically the way it is written it references the application shall include the e-mail. Whether the person supplies it is technically different. If you want to be absolutely clear you can still put it on the application but not require it in the ordinance. So you could strike "e-mail address" but still put it on the application in case they want to provide it. Mayor Lund replied, that sounds fine. Councilmember Saefke stated they could put an asterisk for required fields. Deb Skogen , City Clerk, stated they have had it on the dog application for probably at least six years. Some people fill it in and some do not. It is another way for the City to contact the owner. MOTION by Councilmember Bolkcom to waive the reading of the ordinance and adopt Ordinance No. 1313 on second reading and order publication. Seconded by Councilmember Saefke. UPON A VOICE VOTE, ALL VOTING AYE, MAYOR LUND DECLARED THE MOTION CARRIED UNANIMOUSLY. 16. Informal Status Report. Councilmember Varichak said there are some areas in the City that do not have block captains. If people are interested in becoming one, they should contact the Police Department and talk to Myra Harris. Mr. Kosluchar stated MnDOT has scheduled two Highway 65 reconstruction open houses. They will be working on Highway 65 this summer through the city limits of Fridley. The first will be held on April 30 from 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. at the Fridley Community Center. It will be geared toward local businesses in or along Highway 65. The second one is on May 21 from 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m., at the Fridley Community Center. It will be geared towards the general public. Mr. Kosluchar stated on I-694 the contractor had not quite completed the work last fall and that work is going to be resuming next week. The tentative completion date is June 6. There is a tentative weekend closure of eastbound I-694 and I-94 for mill and overlay, and that possibly could happen as soon as May 2 through May 4. Also, tentative weekend closure of westbound 694 and Trunk Highway 10/Silver Lake Road for concrete rehab May 16 through 18. If you have a chance subscribe to the project update page. There is a link on the City’s website. ADJOURN: FRIDLEY CITY COUNCIL MEETING OF APRIL 14, 2014 PAGE 14 MOTION by Councilmember Barnette, seconded by Councilmember Varichak, to adjourn.
