Rader described highlights of the community survey which included over 1,000 responses which were a majority visited once a month especially for special events. Surfside was identified as a family friendly environment and respondents would like to bring their dog to the park if on leash. Respondents also were interested in better access to the lake and better facilities. Rader stated the Master Plan would be carried out in four phases which include: 1. Phase 1 — Maintenance, Erosion and Restoration 2. Phase 2 - Picnic Shelter and Park Areas 3. Phase 3 - Accessibility and Visibility (sidewalk, perennial gardens) 4. Phase 4 - Playground and Beach (shade structures) Peterson asked about the timeline and Rader stated that the timeline is heavily dependent on funding.

Gillispie asked staff about the interior of the depot. Hoversten stated there is money in the upcoming budget to complete some repairs and maintenance to the interior of the Depot building. Salazar asked what will stop vehicles from using the maintenance area near the restoration area. Rader stated that there would potentially be boulders would hopefully be hidden with native planting around the area once established and would make travel for vehicles difficult. Gillispie asked about the possibility to partner with the MCWD in the manner or grants and such to help share costs. Hoversten said that in the past the MCWD has had cost share opportunities and the City will explore those options. Wegscheid said the resolution should have added verbiage stating "subject to the Council's approval". Bergquist asked if Council members had any thoughts about letter wash station area of the Master Plan. Hoversten stated that having a wash station will help preserve the upgrades to the interior of the Depot in regards to sand which could be tracked in without the wash station. Rader clarified some of the options related to the wash station which included screening elements of different amenities on the Master Plan. Salazar asked where the water would come from for the water station. Hoversten stated that there is an existing water line being used for the current water fountain and that would likely need to be re- routed. Bergquist asked about the dock options near the swim area which was originally a straight dock.

Mound City Council Minutes — December 11, 2018 Pederson stated the hourly pay for paid on-call fire department staff average rate is currently $9.30/hour and in the past there has been discussion on whether to put more money into the pension plan or take higher hourly pay. The last changes to the pension plan were about six years ago and Pederson believes this is a good time to ask for a change. Drilling said the Relief Association is asking for an increase of 5% to the pension benefit for active and retired members. Drilling said the increase would be to the lump sum payout or to the pension payout. Drilling stated the cost increase would be $26,696 per year. Drilling said the Relief Association is also asking for the restoration of the monthly payout option for all firefighters hired prior to January 2012. Drilling said this change would affect 15 individuals who were originally offered the option of lump sum versus pension benefit when they were hired and which was subsequently taken away as an option in 2012 when the bylaws were changed. Drilling said the total yearly cost would be $4,558.00. Drilling said the third request is an increase to the service cap from 25 years to 30 years for active members only and would not be retroactive to any previously active members and would cost $6339/year. Drilling stated the total approximate cost would be $36K for of the proposed changes. Gillispie asked if they would have an option between choosing the lump sum or the monthly benefit and asked to clarify if the 15 impacted by the changes are currently active and were hired previous to 2012. Drilling said all staff hired after January of 2012 only had the lump sum option offered to them based on the recommendation of consultants to the Relief Association. Peterson asked about the length of tenure of the firefighters. Pederson said that right now the department is at 39 firefighters and approximately 48% of them are at 5 years or less. Salazar asked if the department is fully staffed. Pederson said 40 fire fighters is considered full staff and will be hiring two staff in the near future. Pederson showed a snapshot of the actuarial information which consists of the following: $114,940.00 = Cost of plan with no changes $ 39,524.00 = Additional costs to fund requested annually $154,533.00 = Total cost with changes Pederson added that 2% of State Aid comes from the State of MN and Mound residents. Peterson said the estimated 2% State Aid for 2018 was $113,009 and the actual State Aid for 2018 was $116,680. Wegscheid asked if the Department has to meet minimum qualifications to acquire that State Aid. Pederson confirmed that there are minimum qualifications required and Mound far exceeds these requirements. Pederson stated that after the State's 2% contribution the City cost would come to $41,524. Pederson thanked Gillispie, Peterson, and Wegscheid for all their support over the years. MOTION made by Salazar, seconded by Gillispie to approve the following resolution. All voted in favor.

Catherine Pausche, Director of Finance and Administrative Services requesting discussion and action on the following dock related issues: Catherine Pausche, Director of Finance and Administrative Services stated the Dock Program has been increasing in popularity and the wait list grew to over 200 residents. Pausche said Staff typically sends out information with the annual dock license application about the work the Dock Commission has been doing and that Staff would like the Council's input as to the content Pausche stated that the proposed memo is included in the agenda packet. Pausche stated the Dock Program will seek public input on proposed changes at the January 17, 2019 Docks and Commons Commission meeting. A. DRAFT Letter to participants regarding proposed changes under discussion for 2019 Mayor Wegscheid stated the letter is presented for discussion and the proposed changes stated in the letter are up for discussion. Wegscheid stated it would be a mistake to not break down the proposed changes in smaller pieces and to schedule more meetings to handle these issues in a manageable way. Wegscheid that he suggests that the letter not go out as it is written. Salazar stated this letter as it is now will startle participants and will likely fill the Council Chambers and may cause a backlash. Salazar stated before he moved to Mound he read about conflicts dock program participants had in the past. Salazar said these changes must be taken in baby steps and small bite size pieces to allow for more time. Salazar said this letter is too much and some suggestions are too restrictive and borderline punitive. Pausche asked if there are any issues which can be presented and put in the December letter. Gillispie stated that a timeline might be necessary because the information might be too much but that she did not have an issue with the BSU item being presented at the January meeting. Pausche said that the BSU issue is most important in her mind to get resolved. Wegscheid said the topics themselves are okay but need to be taken up issue by issue. Peterson suggested that overwhelming residents with a new letter with changes every six months may not be the best way to approach communication either. B. APPROVING CHANGES TO DOCK MAP ADDENDUM Pausche stated changes to the dock map addendum need to be approved by the Council. Some of these changes include adding the ten new Lost Lake slips to the Dock Map which went from transient to overnight use, a non -abutting dock site on Brighton Commons needs to be taken out of use until future improvements can be made. The Dock Program proposes to add a canoe/kayak storage option to residents in 2019. MOTION made by Salazar, seconded by Peterson to approve the dock map addendum. All voted in favor. Motion carried. MOTION made by Salazar, seconded by Bergquist to approve a pilot project for canoe/kayak storage in Carlson Park. All voted in favor. Motion carried. Pausche said the next item was requested by Councilor Salazar on restricting use of dock fund reserves and revenues to Dock Program specific uses. Pausche stated separating the Lost Lake funds from the regular dock program better demonstrates revenues from Lost Lake will be used to maintain the entire Harbor District, including by not limited to, the Lost Lake Slips, Greenway, pier, ultimate re -dredge, annual weed treatments, etc. These amenities will require the City to build substantial reserves and isolating these reserves in Fund 285 will prevent confusion as to their purpose and provide better clarity as to whether the regular dock program is breaking even and is supported by the current fee structure. Mound City Council Minutes — December 11, 2018 MOTION made by Salazar, seconded by Bergquist to approve the following resolution. All voted in favor. Motion carried.
