Currently, the frontage road ro osed .to. be improved falls under the statepppto tru n k

Agreement funds and State Aid funds it is necessary to use "off-system" State Aid
funding. This action will reduce the city's State Aid needs for 1996 and will lessen the
amount of available State Aid funding approximately $100 000 00 for the same9YPpye year.
In 1997, the State Aid funding percentages and calculations would return to the existingg

SUBJECT: Tax - Forfeited Land
DATE: January 6, 1995
INTRODUCTION
Action by, Counailft,
Endorsed
Modifie
Ike j ected.„,
Date
The staff is recommending that the City acquire use deeds for two tax - forfeited properties. These
properties are on the north side of Cope Avenue between Craig and Ariel Streets. (See the maps
on pages 4 and 5.) If the City does not apply for a use deed, the County will try to sell these lots.
A use deed would cost the City about $24 for each property, plus lost assessments.
BACKGROUND
On August 31, 1994, the former owners of these properties forfeited them because they did not
pay the real estate taxes.
On September 14, 1987, the City Council changed the comprehensive plan for the land that was
east of German Street and north of County Road B. This change dropped the neighborhood park
search area from this area. The Council made this change for the following reasons:
1. The projected area population was significantly below that desired by the City to support a
neighborhood park.
2. The development of Sherwood neighborhood park (Cope Avenue and Kennard Street) was not
anticipated when the parks section of the comprehensive plan was adopted. Sherwood Park
will be able to adequately serve the neighborhood park needs of the residents in this area.
DISCUSSION
Parcel One
Parcel One has a small wetland near Cope Avenue. The Watershed District suggested that the
City acquire this parcel to preserve this wetland. They noted that the City could use the rest of
the lot to mitigate wetlands. The law requires that wetlands be replaced at a two to one ratio. The
City may need to fill a wetland for a public project. The City could use Parcel One to create new
wetland. The rear of this parcel would act as a buffer between the M -1 land to the east and the
R -1 land to the west.
If the -City does not acquire this lot, the County would try to sell it. It is 60 feet wide by 297 feet
deep (17,8.20 square feet). Someone could build a house on Cope Avenue. Hillcrest Development
owns the M -1 land to the east. They may be interested in buying the rear of Parcel One for M -1
use:
Acquiring this lot has adisadvantage —the City would not collect $6,344 in assessments against
the lot.
Parcel Two
The Director of Parks and Recreation said that the City should acquire Parcel Two for open space
and a future tot -lot. (See the Director's memo on page 6.)
If the City does not acquire this property, the County would try to sell it. It is 200 feet wide by
452 feet deep (90,400 square feet). A developer could build three single dwellings or two double
dwellings along Cope Avenue. Hillcrest Development may be interested in buying the rear of
this parcel to add to their M -1 land. If the Council decides to let the County sell this lot, the City
should first change the M -1 zoning to R -1. R -1 zoning would be more consistent with the
character of the neighborhood than M -1.
Acquiring this lot has adisadvantage —the City would not collect $29,818.90 in assessments
against this lot.
RECOMMENDATIONS
A. Adopt the resolution on page 7. This resolution requests that the County convey Parcel One
to the City for wetland and open space use.
B. Adopt the resolution on page 8. This resolution requests that the County convey Parcel Two
to the City for park and open space use.

Subj : Tax- Forfeited Properties
Dater December S, 1994
Introduction
The city has an opportunity to acquire three properties located north of County Road B that have
become tax-forfeited parcels. I'have personally visited each, of the properties and spoken to sur-
rounding property owners regarding the need for Open Space and/or active parks in this Planning
District.
Rickaund .
The City Council modified the Maplewood Comprehensive Plan in 1987 to delete a Neighbor-
hood Park Search Area east of German Street and north of County Road B. The Park and Rec-
reation Commission felt this should be deleted as it did not meet our Neighborhood Park criteria,
which provided for a minimum population of 3,000 to 5,000 people, given a 172 mile service
radius. It was recommended that this site would be served by Sherwood Park.
I concur with the recommendation by the Park and Recreation Commission in 1987, but would
recommend that the parcel located directly west of the Water Tower be retained as Open Space
and possibly. a Tot-Lot Area in the future. I base this, recommendation on the following rationale:
L The Maplewood Comprehensive Plan originally showed a Park Search Area at County Rd. B
and Getman Street, due to the isolation of this area. The property is abutted by North Saint
Paul on the east, White Bear Avenue on the west, Highway #36 on the north, and County
Road B on the south. This area is quite isolated and is currently fully developed with single
family homes.
2. The property is adjacent to the Water Tower and could be expanded for future Water Tower
expansion ie. parking lot, building expansion, equipment, etc.
3. A Tot-Lot similar to Nebraska Park could be constructed in the future, depending upon the
neighborhood interest.
4. The property would provide a nice Open Space buffer between the freeway and the Water
Tower within a fairly densely developed single family residential area.
Recommendation
It is my recommendation that the one parcel, as attached, be acquired for Open Space and that
the Park and Recreation Commission discuss at a future date to determine what development,
if any, n #ght occur.

FROM: Peter Tritz
ENROLLMENT WILL BE OPEN DURING THE MONTH OF JANUARY FOR .
LMCIT'S ACCIDENT POLICY FOR MEMBERS OF CITY COUNCILS AND OTHER
CITY BOARDS, COMMITTEES AND COMMISSIONS.
This accident coverage is provided by CIGNA, and provides a lower -cost alternative to workers
compensation coverage.: By statute, elected officials and officers appointed for a fixed term of
office are covered by workers compensation only if the city has passed an ordinance or resolution
to that effect.
The accident coverage applies while the individual is traveling to or from a committee meeting,
or while conducting other official business on behalf of and at the request of the committee. The
coverage provides a $100,000 accidental death benefit and a $400 /week short -term benefit for
total disability.
While the accident policy was developed as a lower -cost alternative to providing workers
compensation coverage, it is important to understand that the benefits are not equivalent to those
of workers compensation. Some of the differences are that it does not include .medical,
rehabilitation, or retraining benefits; disability and death benefits are fixed, rather than being
based on the individual's actual earnings; disability benefits are paid only for total disability, and
for a maximum of 26 weeks; and the accident policy disability benefits may be taxable income to
the individual.
The city may provide coverage for any city oar s, commissions, or committees it designates.
However, all members of the respective board or commission must be covered; that is, the
coverage cannot be offered on an individual choice basis.
The cost of the accident coverage is $ 12.75 per person per year. (By comparison, LMCIT's 1995
minimum rate for workers compensation coverage for council members is $25 per person per
year.) The accident policy coverage year runs March 1 to February 28.
Additional information and application forms are enclosed. For questions concerning the
coverage or to put coverage into effect, contact Julie Seidlitz, The Brehm Group, 706 Second

Subject: Approval of "Lease of HazMat 1" and "Mutual Aid Agreement"
with the City of Cottage Grove for Joint Use of Hazardous
Materials Resources
I am requesting approval of the attached "Lease of HazMat 1" and "Mutual Aid
Agreement" for joint use of hazardous materials resources with the City of Cottage
Grove. Maplewood City Attorney Pat Kelly and Cottage Grove City Attorney Jack
Clinton have approved both documents.
BACKGROUND
In January 1991, 3M Company donated $252,000 to the City of Maplewood for the
development of a hazardous materials program in Maplewood. A hazardous
materials response vehicle has been built and approximately 95% of the
equipment needed to support a hazardous materials response team has been
purchased. There is little likelihood that the City's three independent Fire
Departments will support the establishment of a response team in the near future
A constructive use for this vehicle and equipment would seem appropriate at this
time.
Our objective is to develop a working relationship with another local jurisdiction
for the joint use of the Maplewood Hazardous Materials Response Vehicle and
equipment with the necessary trained manpower to be provided by the other
jurisdiction. Such a pooling of resources would provide for the future return of the
vehicle and equipment to the City of Maplewood.
After initial consideration, two options presented themselves.
Option 1: Loan the vehicle and equipment to the St. Paul Fire Department and
attempt to work out a cooperative agreement.
Option 2: Loan the vehicle and equipment to the Cottage Grove Fire Depart-
ment, who has already trained a number of fire department personnel
but lacks the necessary funding to procure the required vehicle and
equipment to support a hazardous materials response team.
Mike .McGuire
January 13, 1995
Page 2
OPTION 1 DISCUSSION
The St. Paul Fire Department was initially very interested in developing some
type of suitable arrangement. However, City of St. Paul attorneys recommended
that St. Paul Fire Department not commit to any program unless title to the
vehicle and equipment was transferred to St. Paul with airy little cost savings for
Maplewood.
OPTION 2 DISCUSSION
The City of Maplewood initially became involved with the City of Cottage Grove as
the result of a phone call to you from Director of Public Safety Dennis Cusick
inquiring about the disposition of our Hazardous Materials Response Vehicle.
Upon your direction, I opened discussions with Cottage Grove. The City of
Cottage Grove was very receptive to developing a joint program whereby they
would get the use of a vehicle and equipment to complement their already trained
manpower.
Initial phone conversations and an exploratory meeting was held in late August
with Cottage Grove Public Safety Director Dennis Cusick and Deputy Fire Chief
Dave Dally. The "framework" of an agreement was worked out with no great
obstacles encountered. A subsequent meeting on September 10 with Mr. Cusick
finalized any remaining issues. A mutual aid agreement and lease were then
prepared.
Highlights of these agreements are as follows:
1. Cottage Grove has not asked for title to the vehicle and equipment to be
turned over to them. This vehicle and equipment will revert back to the
City of Maplewood upon termination of the agreement by either party after
an initial contract term of 18 months.
2. Cottage Grove will pick up all maintenance costs while they have the
vehicle.
3. The names of both parties will appear as identification on the vehicle.
4. Cottage Grove Fire Department will allow City of Maplewood employees and
volunteers to drill and exercise with them, as well as answer actual calls
within the jurisdiction of Cottage Grove.
Mike McGuire
January 13, 1995
Page 3
5. Although Cottage Grove would be willing to cover the City of Maplewood, it
would not be feasible to use them for primary coverage due to a 20 to 30
minute response time. We would recommend continuing the present
coverage with the St. Paul Fire Department,
6. Except for the possible replacement of supplies used in training exercises,
this agreement should beano -cost arrangement for the City of Maplewood.
7. While located in Cottage Grove, the vehicle would be the primary hazardous
materials response vehicle to the 3M Chemolite Plant. In conversations
with 3M Company about the Cottage Grove proposal, Mr. Jim Jensen, Staff
Vice President, took the position that the truck and equipment belong to
Maplewood and the disposition would be our decision, not 3M's. He voiced
the opinion that it would be really nice having two major 3M complexes in
the Twin City area (Chemolite and the Maplewood complex) covered by
hazardous materials response teams. He also stressed the fact that St. Paul
already has a response vehicle and equipment. He would look forward to
the truck being utilized. I met with Mr. Jensen on December 27, 1994 to
present him with our final plan. Mr. Jensen gave his verbal approval at
that time and has followed up with a letter, a copy of which is attached.
8. We initialized a call to Jun Haselmann, Chief of Operations for the St. Paul
Fire Department, to inform him of our plans. His reaction was quite
positive and he is happy that the truck will be put in service. He also
indicated that the St. Paul Fire Department would like to call upon Cottage
Grove as a "backup" to them in Maplewood if additional manpower and
equipment were needed.

It was good to talk with you today and review your letter concerning
Maplewood's proposed agreement with Cottage Grove for HazMat service.
With major facilities in both communities, we at 3M view your cooperative
efforts as a very positive step in assuring us the best possible service.
Having "HazMat I" and other equipment located in Cottage Grove where
they have trained personnel .to operate it seems a good idea and should
benefit 3M at both of our sites, and should serve the communities well in
addition.
Larry, thanks for your personal involvement in staying with this situation
and guiding it to a successful solution. Please let us know any time we can
be of help with the emergency services you are involved with.

Modi i e
Rejected
Dat e
This is the fourth quarter, 1994 request for Charitable Gambling unds. The Manager'sgg
office received only one request. It is from the Director of Emerg ManagementgYg
Larry Cude. The request is for $19,450 to replace the Mobile Light Plant Generator
used truck, custom retrofitting, used generator, lights, electrical work, and cover).
BACKGROUND
Emergency Management's Request
Attached you will find the report from Larry Cude requesting the funds. The Mobile
Light Plant Generator is maintained for emergency lighting and power during a disaster
in Maplewood. Non- emergency uses include power for the July 4th celebration, search
and rescue operations outside of Maplewood, emergency flooding, Sk am activities9Yw ,
and emergency drills. A total of $19,450 is being. requested to replace the current unit
with a used truck and generator, special equipment and work to customize it, flood
lights, and a cover to protect the unit.when it is stored outside.
Community Fund
At the November 7, 1994 Council /Manager meeting, the City Council revisited the
subject of establishing a Community Fund. Staff was directed to research several
items:
Can the City setup a fund and manage it rather than the St. Paul Foundation?
Can future Council's change the Community Fund once it is established?
What is the current condition of the Charitable Gambling fund?
Finance Director Dan Faust submitted a report that is attached.
Past Awards
A list of past awards is attached.
Status of Fund
A Charitable Gambling Tax Fund report is attached to the staff report. It should be
noted that the revenues for 1994 are reported as $49,371. This amount does include
December revenue, because the payments are not due until January 31 st. The
expenditures and transfers -out are funds that the City Council authorized to be
allocated through the adopted 1995 Budget. These funded projects are Flowers in the
Park, Puppet Wagon, July 4th Celebration, and Lutheran Share -A -Home Program.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council review the request from the Director of
Emergency Management for the replacement of the mobile light plant generator with
charitable gambling funds.

Subject: Request for Charitable Gambling Funds
INTRODUCTION
As you know, our Department maintains a mobile light plant generator truck
196") consisting of a 4X4 pickup truck, generator and portable flood lights. The
truck, generator and flood lights are all in desperate need of replacement.
BACKGROUND
The truck is a 1976 Ford F150 4X4 3V4 ton pickup which we purchased used in
1986 with funds donated by the North Maplewood Lioness Club. Repairs to this
truck are becoming more costly and it is in need of mechanical work, body work
and paint.
The generator is a 1953 Hercules purchased from government surplus and was
transferred from the original "196" to the current "196." This generator is in needg
of repair, however, due to its age, parts are no longer available.
The Mars flood lights (age unknown) are no longer made and the lamps have been
obsolete for many years. One lamp is currently burned out and, because they are
obsolete, no lamps are available for replacement. These flood lights were also
transferred from the original "196" to the current "196."
The Mobile Light Plant Generator has been used for many different functions.
Recent uses include:
Power for the annual Fourth of July celebration put on by Maplewood Parks
and Recreation.
The Boy Scout Camporee weekend at Keller Park in Maplewood.
Power for the Maplewood Emergency Management Communications Trailer for
many marathons and other activities.
The annual Ramsey County Fair in Maplewood.
Funeral in Maplewood for St. Paul officer slain.
Search and rescue operations for the 3rd and Maria explosion in St. Paul.

Lighting for sandbagging for flooding in Newport.
Power for the Communications Trailer at hazardous materials tanker incident
on I -94 in Woodbury.
Lighting for night fires in Maplewood and other surrounding communities.
Many Skywarn and 4X4 activations.
Many drills and exercises in Maplewood and surrounding communities.
In addition, recent standby requests include:
Search operations for suspect in St. Paul officer slayings.
Maplewood Public Works for emergency work after hours.
As you can see, the Mobile Light Plant Generator has been used-for many
different activities and functions, both emergency and non - emergency. Many of
the community groups who have requested use of the "Light Plant" have done so
every year for many years and have come to depend on it. The Mobile Light Plant
Generator is always accompanied by Emergency Management staff and volunteers
who have been trained in its operation.
Because the equipment on the Mobile Light Plant Generator is obsolete and
because it has deteriorated to the point where it almost cannot be used, I would
like to replace it. I am requesting charitable gambling funds in the amount of
19,450 to be used to replace this valuable equipment. Following: is a breakdown
of the expected equipment and costs needed to replace the Mobile Light Plant
Generator:
1. Used 3/4 ton 4X4 pickup truck (in decent condition)
b. Painting
C, Lettering
d. Transfer of usable equipment from "old 196" to "new
196" (i.e., radios, siren, lights, opticom, etc.)
e. Mechanical work such as heavy duty springs and frame
reinforcement for generator
2. Used generator from government surplus
3. Four -head light tower (flood lights) with 1000 watt lamps,
control box, heavy duty reel

In addition, the Mobile Light Plant Generator is currently being stored outside in
the fenced area behind the Public Works Building. Many of the problems we have
been experiencing with the truck and generator are due to the fact that we have
no place to store it "indoors" and the weather has taken its toll. In this request, I
would also like to include a cover to put over the truck, generator and lights to
keep out the elements.

19,450
The main intent of the Mobile Light Plant Generator is to provide emergency
lighting and power in the event of a disaster in Maplewood. Hopefully, it will
never have to be used for its "intended purpose." Meanwhile, it is a well used and
much needed asset benefiting citizens and community organizations in
Maplewood. I am asking that our City Council consider granting this request.
If you require additional information or if you have any questions, please feel free
to give me a call.
Thank you.

RE: Request for Charitable Gambling
Please be advised that I I have reviewed your draft and memorandum with respect to
request for charitable gambling funds. Pursuant to our telephone conversation it appears that
the request is within the parameters of Minnesota State Law with respect to City administering
funds.
A City may accept donations from a gambling organization but it cannot require a
donation to itself (besides normal fees) as a condition of license approval or permit issuance.
However, the City of Maplewood, by ordinance requires organizations to contribute up to ten

by ' the City of Maplewood, without ' cost of such fund, for disbursement by the City of Maplewood
for lawful purposes.
Maplewood has established a fund and the City does have the authority to disburse
portions of that fund to various City departments, such as the park system, as a lawful purpose
expenditure. Minnesota Statute 34,9.213 Subdivision 1 . The restriction, however, is that no direct
contributions or payments of gambling money may be made to a law enforcement agency or a
prosecutor prosecutorial agency. Minnesota Statute 349.12 Subdivision 25.(2)((10)
My understanding is that emergency management is not considered a law enforcement
agency or prosecutorial agency. In addition, the purpose of the vehicle and light involves uses
by youth organizations and City park activities and general government activities.
Respectfully yours,
BANNIGAN & KELLY, P.A.

TO: City Manager
FROM: Finance Director 1 '
RE: COMMUNITY FUND
DATE: November 30, 1994
This is in response to your request for information on a Community Fund that would
be used to allow people to donate to particular projects. It is my understanding that the
Council has requested staff to research how to set up a Community Fund; provide a
comparison of city staff administering the fund vs. the St. Paul Foundation; and
investigate the ability of future Council's to distribute the money in the fund and change
policies related to the fund.
In governmental accounting, trust funds are fused to account for large donations
designated for a specific purpose. There are two types of trust funds: nonexpendable
trust funds and expendable trust funds. Nonexpendable trust funds are used to account
for assets given with the stipulation that only earnings and not principal may be spent.
Expendable trust funds are used to account for assets where both principal and earnings
are to be spent for a specific purpose. There would be one expendable trust fund for each
project. Normally nonexpendable trust funds are used when the use of assets donated
are legally restricted by parties outside of the government. Usually there would be a
Formal trust agreement with the donor. Also, there would be a separate fund for each
trust agreement.
For small donations, it has been past practice to record them as revenue from donations
in the General Fund. When the donation is received, an agenda report is prepared to
provide formal acknowledgement of the donation. Often this also involves an
appropriation to allow expenditure of the donation.
Governments are not supposed to create trust funds to account for assets restricted by
the government itself. This is because it is questionable whether a government can
meaningfully function as a fiduciary for itself. Therefore, resources restricted by the city
itself should be accounted for in a special revenue fund or capital projects fund. A capital
projects fund would be appropriate for a large construction project or acquisition of real
estate. A special revenue fund would be appropriate for financing the cost of a program
or service.
Public Nearing on Proposed 1995 Budget and Taxes
November 30, 1994
Page 2
Currently the city has a fund titled the Capital Improvement Projects Fund. This was
established by the City Council in 1983 to finance major capital outlay expenditures
that individually cost more than $50,000 and that cannot be easily financed by alternate
sources. Property taxes are periodically levied for this fund. This fund could be re- titled
the Community Fund and donations could be solicited for it. However, I think it would
probably be easier to obtain donations for specific capital projects rather than for a
Community Fund. A separate fund could be created for each project. If the project were
to be financed entirely by donations it would be a trust fund. If the project were to be
financed by a combination of donations and city money, a capital projects fund could
be created. In either case, the money in the fund would be accounted for separately and
it would earn interest at the same rate as all other funds. (All city money is pooled for
investment purposes.)
When special revenue and capital project funds are created to segregate city money for
a specific purpose, it is recommended that a resolution be adopted to clearly show the
purpose of the fund. However, if the objective of the Council is to make it difficult for
future councils to close the fund and/or use the money for a different purpose, an
ordinance could be passed with a provision that a public hearing and a 4/5 majority is
needed to make future amendments. With nonexpendable trust Funds, there would
probably be a formal trust agreement with the donor that would legally restrict the use
of the assets in the fund. In the case of expendable trust funds, there probably would not
be a formal trust agreement but the donation would likely be given with the
understanding that the money be used only for a specific purpose.
The St. Paul Foundation indicated that they could provide management, financial
services, a large investment program and free training on how to solicit gifts. It would
be fairly easy for city staff to create a few trust funds for large private donations and/or
additional special revenue or capital project funds for city money. The money would be
pooled and invested with other city investments that total approximately $15 million.
Maplewood's rate of return is less than the St. Paul Foundation because state law does
not allow cities to invest in stocks. However, we can't give city money to the St. Paul
Foundation to circumvent state legal limits on city investments.) Free training on how
to solicit gifts would be beneficial but perhaps this could be purchased from the St. Paul
Foundation or another organization.

CHARITABLE GAMBLING POLICY AND PAST AWARDS
COUNCIL AWARD POLICY
The Council's established policy is as follows:
All licensed charitable gambling organizations within the City are required to contribute
10% of net profits derived from lawful gambling activity in the City to a separate fund
controlled by the City. These funds are distributed by the City Council for lawful
expenditures.
These funds shall be distributed for projects, equipment or activities that are based in
the community and those activities which primarily benefit City residents.
Organizations which are awarded funds shall be anon- profit 501 c(3) organization. A
representative from the requesting organization shall be present at the Council meeting
to answer questions about the request.
Upon receipt of the funds, the receiving organization shall understand that the
allocation of funds may be a one -time only distribution, and receipt of funds does not in
any way guarantee or commit the City to funding in any subsequent year.
Projects which involve the purchase of equipment, supplies or specific items will be
looked upon more favorably than requests for salaries or general operating costs.
It will be required that the funds be expanded for the requested project within one year
of the date of receipt of the funds from the City.
In general requests from organized athletic groups will not be funded. It is felt that
funding for these programs should be from participating families or community auxiliary
groups. There are so many athletic organizations within the community that the City is
not capable of funding their financial requests nor fairly determining appropriate
recipients.

In the past, the City Council has set aside one or two days each year for a Council
retreat. This time is used by the City Council to discuss the goals and visions that the
elected officials as a group have for the City in the upcoming year as well as many
years into the future. The purpose of this report is to have the City Council schedule a
date and location for the retreat and establish topics for the meeting.
