AGENDA REPORT
TO: City Manager
FROM: Assistant City Manager
RE: MAPLEWOOD 2020
DATE: February 21 1 99 5
INTRODUCTION -
Maplewood 2020 is a proposed planning process - to plan now for what Y ou want
Maplewood to look like in the year 2020. This project was discussed at the Februa ry 6
Council /Manager meeting g. The City Council directed staff to contact Mr. Bill Morris from
Decision Resources to speak to the Council at the March 6 Council /Mena er meeting
g
about the use of a community survey in this Visioning /planning process. Mr. Morris
worked with several cities in a project like this. He will make a short presentation and
handle questions from the Council.
The City Council also directed staff to research how Other cities Organized this ro'ect.
p 1
Two cities were contacted for information: Roseville and. Burnsville.
BACKQROUND
Roseville
During the summer of 1992, the City of Roseville undertook Vista 2000 - Creating
Rosevii.le's Tomorrow Today. The purpose was to create a vision for 21 st century
Roseville, to help set long -term goals, and to help work Out strategies for reachin
g g
them.
Roseville identifies their process as a resident- driven process they solicited the
involvement of individual residents. Two city -wide forums were conducted to give
residents, business owners, elected officials, civic groups and education s a rou
g p
chance to participate in the vision for Roseville. Bill Morris was involved with these
forums. In addition, residents were given the opportunity to mail in their comments on
postage paid postcards.
1,
As a result of the forums, six categories were created: Economic Development,
Environment, Housing, Leisure, Public Safety and Transportation. Approximately 50
people applied to work on study groups. The Council appointed all of them, and they
were. assigned to the committee of their choice. These groups met for several months
and produced a vision and goals to guide Roseville to reach the goals. In April, 1993,
each study group made a presentation at a Community Forum. It was handled by a
facilitator, Mr. Carl Neu. The City Council adopted that final document in the summer of
1993. The estimated cost of the project was $30,000. The process lasted about one
year. The City Council uses the goals and vision statements when they approve
budgets, capital projects, future land use plans, and future public policy. In addition, the
recommendations are utilized by the Planning Commission.
Roseville staffinembers said that two of the major outcomes of the process were to
meet and work with new faces in the community that became involved for the first time
during this project, and the results of the process were used to update their
comprehensive plan.
Burnsville
In 1988, the City of Burnsville conducted their first visioning process, and it was
structured much like Roseville's .1.993 program. As a follow -up, Burnsville's most recent
visioning project began in July, 1993 and was named Partnerships For Tomorrow.
Their process used organizations rather than targeting individual residents, and it was a
bit more. involved.
First of all, City staff and Council brainstormed and produced a list of major
stakeholders in the community. They were invited to a formal dinner at which the
project was introduced, and a time line was et. The mission was "to establish a
process that defines a vision for our community and identifies the resources for.
implementing that vision through a partnership of individuals and organizations."
A second meeting was held for the "partners" that committed to participating in the
program. Those partners were the Burnsville Chamber of Commerce, City of
Burnsville, Community Action Council, Dakota County, Dakota County Employment and
Trainin g Fairview Ridges Hospital, I.S.D. 194, 198, Minnesota Valley YMCA, and
the Prince of Peace Church. A Steering Committee was established to facilitate the
rest of the Partnerships for Tomorrow process..
In November, 1993, a community survey was conducted by Decision Resources to get
residents' ideas about where the City should be in the future. In addition, a
presentation to the entire boards of participating partners was made. A facilitator, Mr.
Carl Neu, was utilized for this presentation.
2
In January, 1 994, steering committee members- and volunteers (a total of 67 people)
were trained in facilitating group's who are visi
g g p oning. These trained people met with
community members such as neighborhood groups, service g g p , groups, and churches to
ask them to describe how they would like Burnsville to look like in
the future.
In -wide forums were i • d not
city-wide a conducted for residents who di
pa March, 1994, two ci rticipate in partner groups. It was cable cast an •
p d small groups in the audience were
formed for the visioning process.
In April, a public forum (Prioritization Community orum was con '
y ) ducted to identify
themes and priorities from all of the information athered at the co '
g mmun ty forums, the
group visioning, and the community .survey. Mr. Carp Neu was used for this
step which
generated. six categories: neighborhoods, safe youth, environment safety, Y o merit.,: development
and transportation. Citizen were recruited to work on committees to research each one
of the six categories.
In May, each committee began meeting. Their responsibility was to create vision
p y eate a vision
.
statement and a measurable action plan for the area. The committees met through
August at which time each committee roduced an action la
p plan. The plans were written
with the help of City staff.
In September, the volunteer committee members and the steering committee mittee met to
review the draft report. Volunteers were also recognized at this meeting. Th
. g g e report is finalized, and the final report was presented and: adopted b the partner '
p y p e organizations.
The entire process took over one year, and the cost has been estimated
at $25,000.
The City was the agency that staffed the ro'ect
through completion. p J g ompletion. The project
monitoring 'is now being handled by the school district. Each "partner" '
organization is
expected to help in monitoring the implementation of the ro ram.

MEMORANDUM

Mayor and City Council
City Manager
REORGANIZATION
April 4, 1994
INTRODUCTION
AGENDA NO. F
One of the goals that the Council established for 1994 was to review the City's
organizational structure. Considerable time has been devoted to assessing the
current structure and what changes would make it more efficient and better meet
future needs.
BACKGROUND
The City's current organizational structure consists of an assistant city manager and
nine functional areas; City Clerk, Community Development, Emergency Management,
Finance, Human Resources, Legal, Parks &Recreation, Public Safety and Public
Works. (See Exhibit A),
DISCUSSION
Although the entire organizational structure was reviewed and over twenty potential
changes were examined in depth (Exhibit B), only a few are being recommended.
They are:
1. Combine the sewer utility with the newly created water utility and place it
in the Public Works department. The billing procedure will also be part
of Public Works, but it will have a close working relationship with the
Finance department.
Financial Impact: None
Service Impact: User convenience will be enhanced because of
having all aspects of water and sewer in one department. It will also
relieve congestion at the City Clerk's counter.
2. Move the Community Cen #er to the Parks &Recreation department and
restructure the Parks &Recreation department so that the Park Director
will be directly responsible for park development, park maintenance,
open space, and the Nature Center. The Community Center Manager
will report to the Parks &Recreation Director and will be responsible for
all recreation and programming activities including the Community
Center,
Financial Impact: There will be considerable savings by combining the
programming activities.
Service Impact: The actual programs will remain the same, but all
registrations and questions will be handled at the Community Center
making it more convenient for the users.
3. Establish the position of Public Safety Administrative Assistant. This will
be accomplished upon the retirement of one of the captains. This
individual will be in charge of all administrative detail in the Police
Department including purchasing, budget, and supervising all Police
department clerical staff. The remaining captain position will supervise
all police- related activities. Both positions will report directly to the
Public Safety Director.
Financial Impact: Difference in salaries.
46 Sewer and water permits will be moved from the City Clerk to Public
Works,
Financial Impact: None
Service Impact: It will be more convenient and less confusing to the
users if all related activities are in one department.
5. Contractor licenses and permits will remain in the City Clerk's
department. However, the counter personnel in Community
Development will be trained to :issue permits when they are being
purchased as part of other applications.
6. Building Maintenance should be consolidated under and report to the
new Building Maintenance Supervisor..
Financial Impact: None
Service Impact: Service will be enhanced because of the greater
flexibility when assisting work.
S
7. in addition it is recommended that the following be considered at a
future time. -
- Centralized filing. This will be .part of the City Clerks department.
The plan, including costs, will be developed for the next budget
cycle.
The Emergency Management department will become . part of
Public Safety when the current EM director vacates the p osition,
The position of Public Information Officer should be created if the
City decides not to.. renew the current franchise .agreement for
cable tv. This position would be responsible for cable tv,
Maglewood in M_,a etc,
- The relationship between the Fire Marshal and Community
Development, the need for a full time Fire Chief, and other fire
related questions need to be addressed.
A copy of the organizational chart. showing the first six items implemented is attached
as Exhibit C.

Introduction
The Maplewood Community Center has been op en for eve months. The p of thin re
p prp report i s
to update the City Manager and C Council on the status of the Maplewood Communit Cen r
City p y to .
I have developed the following format, which I hope to utilize in a consistent manner so that the
City Council will be able to compare and contrast issues in the future. The Community Ce n ter
ter
remains the major focus of our department and has changed ed si canal the role and function of g Y
each of our star members. The Community Center is still in a g rowth mode and I believe it will
take one to two years before we are fully staffed and have the myriad ad of operational issues re-
solved. My overall sense is that we have managed to address the major operational issues fairly
J p y
well, but there are still questions unanswered regarding day -to-day policies and financial obli g a-
tions.
Background
OPERATIONS
The day -to -day operations of the Community enter are managed b Tom Eastman
Y g y .The major
issue that has confronted our staff during the past few months has been maintenance. The Cit
recently retained Paul Schlingman as Building Maintenance Supervisor after the position was
vacant for approximately two months. Under Paul's direction, we have already ade m
J or
strides and hope to have the Community Center fully staffed by April 1, 1995. We c u rrently have
four vacancies in the Maintenance Division.
It is important to understand that the Community Center is being "operated" on a day-to-day basis
Y Y
by part -time staff. We believe this is a cost effective and efficient means, which will untimatel
provide the full -time staff an opportunity to develop long -range business laps, focus on member -
p
ship recruitment and develop expanded revenue areas to ensure that the facility s o eratin in a
Y p g
self- supporting manner. We currently have ei ht temporary employees and have recently in
g_ Y p rY y cor -
porated a Training Program for our Customer Service Representatives to become Managers on
duty when full -time staff is not available.
One area that is sometimes overlooked is that the Community Center is operating seven days a
week, sixteen hours a day, which expands to nineteen to twenty hours a day on weekends for
weddings and special bookings.

Enclosed is a copy of the quarterly report prepared by Finance Director Dan Faust. He will be
p reparing
his second quarter report for City Council review which will be inclusive of Febru
ary 28, 1995. This report will provide a more accurate picture of our financial _status for 1995.
Bein g self-supporting self -su ortin is the number one priority of the Community Center. The City Council
has clearly expressed their desire and objective to have the facility remain self- supporting as an
Enterprise Fund. This is a lofty objective. Staff will have a better handle on expenditures and
revenue. projections by June 1. Community Centers traditionally generate 2/3 of their revenue
durin g the six month .period from October through March, while the expenditures remain con
sistent throughout the twelve month period.

PROGRAM DEVELOPMENT
The Communit y Center has provided our department with a myriad of opportunities for increased
program development. The March Maplewood In Motion identifies over sixty new recreation and
leisure -time p rorams that are being offered for the first time. In addition to the recreation pro-
gram increase, we have also developed a Spring Entertainment Series which we hope to serve as a
profit center in the ensuing months.
The usage of the Community Center, particularly the exercise area, gymnasium and theatre, has
exceeded our. expectations. we have developed four, Suggestion Boxes, which are strategically
placed throughout the Community Center that provide excellent program and operational
feedback from our members.

During the next two months, we will be focusing on the following issues:
1. Hiring additional maintenance staff for the night shift and peak evening/weekend user periods.
2. Monitor our revenues and expenditures to include modification of our Business Plan to reflect
the City Council's desire to function as a self- supporting enterprise.
3. Resolve the pool ozone system, tile safety and towel storage issues to ensure that the water is
clear, clean, and pool is safe and "user - friendly ".
4. Develop a Marketing Program to increase membership levels by 10% in the next four months.
5. Market. and promote the Spring ntertainment Series to ensure customer satisfacti n�
g o and
financial viability.
6. Continue the development of Focus Groups to resolve o erational issues that have p p e been
identified.

:Recommendation
Continue with the bi- monthly reporting to City Council on status of Maplewood Community
Center. The - major emphasis for the May Report should be to review the financial status of the
Maplewood Community Center to include a modified Business Plan for the remainder of 1995.
