MEMORANDUM
Date: October 26, 2016
To: Mayor and City Council
From: Catherine Pausche, Director of Finance and Administrative Services
Greg Pederson, Fire Chief
Subject: City Code Amendment - Chapter 30 Fire Prevention and Protection
The proposed ordinance is to amend areas of the City Code as it relates to Fire Prevention and
Protection. The proposed changes are intended to address:
• Updating City Code definitions and requirements to be compatible with the Minnesota
State Fire Code
• Restrict Open Burning to a very few and prescribed instances which are delineated in
code which would:
✓ Eliminate private residences from requesting a burn permit
✓ Limit private residences to recreational fires only
✓ Restrict the hours recreational fires should be allowed.
Spring Park and Minnetonka Beach do not issue open burn permits. Minnetrista, with its
expansive lots, does issue open burn permits. Staff feels the density in Mound does not
adequately accommodate open burning and leads to neighbor disputes and poses unnecessary
risks, including reduced air quality.
The City of Mound contracts with The Mulch Store for leaf and brush drop off and compost and
chipping are also alternatives. The Fire Chief does not recall a year when more than 5 open burn
permits were issued, so demand has been limited. Once again, recreational fires would still be
allowed and are felt to be more appropriate for Mound's average lot size.
Staff recommends adopting the proposed changes as shown in the attached ordinance amending
Chapter 30 of the City Code.

Memorandum

From: Field Officer Stewart B. Simon Sbj
Date: October 26, 2016
Re: Proposed Changes to Chapter 42, Nuisances
In the course of conducting code enforcement activities, Staff has found the current nuisance
code confusing to citizens and portions outdated. Based on this, Staff has reviewed the
nuisance codes in use by surrounding communities.
In general, nuisance fall into one of two categories; public and private. A public nuisance is
conduct or maintaining a condition, which is harmful or negatively affects the whole community
or a large group of people; whereas a private nuisance is harmful, or negatively affects a small
number of people. The current and amended code addresses conditions and conduct deemed
public nuisances; the City does not regulate conduct or conditions deemed a private nuisance.
At its July 26, 2016 Special Meeting Workshop, the Council reviewed a proposed draft
ordinance, amending the nuisance codes. The majority of amended language contained in the
draft ordinance was housekeeping in nature; the one major change is specific to the
abatement processes. Staff has proposed language allowing administrative and legal costs to
be collected as part of an abatement action.
An amended draft Chapter 42 is included for your review and discussion

Memorandum
To: Honorable Mayor and City Council
From: Field Officer Stewart B. Simon SSS
Date: October 26, 2016
Re: Proposed Amendments to Chapter 129, Related to Exterior Storage
In addition to the amendments proposed for Chapter 42, Staff is also recommending updating
and amending Chapter 129, as it relates to Exterior Storage. Currently, Subsection 129-314
only covers exterior storage as it relates to "exterior storage units'. Per the code, an "exterior
storage unit' is defined as ....automobiles, boats, boat trailers, travel trailers, general purpose
trailers, self-contained motor homes, truck toppers, fish houses, utility trailers, jet skis and
snowmobiles. Exterior storage units are also referred to as "recreational vehicles', per the
code.
Currently, the code regulates the number of "exterior storage units' permissible on residential
properties along with required setbacks; all other storage of materials is not included in the
current code.
The amended exterior storage code as proposed by Staff would remove the term "exterior
storage units", in favor of the use of common terms, to address the storage of items and
materials and would align the code to reflect the proposed changes to the nuisance ordinance
previously discussed.
Staff has included a draft ordinance reflecting the proposed changes to the exterior storage
code, including additional terms to be added to the definitions subdivision, for Council review
and discussion.

Administrative Citations/ Fines
Summary. At its July 26, 2016 special meeting workshop, the City Council reviewed and
discussed possible amendments to the City Code to provide for use of administrative
citations and fines for City Code violations. Following review and discussion in
cooperation with the City Attorney, it was determined that the use of administrative
citations for building/zoning/nuisance related items is not appropriate tool for the City of
Mound. Members are advised that the proposed amendments to the nuisance and
exterior storage regulations that are also being considered at Nov. 1st workshop have
been prepared to provide for a fair and effective way to properly address and resolve
nuisance -type matters. Additionally, the proposed amendments are intended to
address defiencies in the code and/or to clarify the intent of the regulations.

Re: November 1st Mound City Council Special Meeting Workshop Agenda Item - City
Code Chapter 14 (Animals) Related to the Keeping of Chickens
Overview. At its August 10, 2016 meeting, the City Council heard a request from Amy
Velsor, 3232 Gladstone Lane, for the Council to consider amending City Code Chapter 14
(Animals) to allow chickens in the City of Mound. The Council took no action at the
meeting but agreed to further discussion at a future workshop.
Background. At its April 22, 2014 meeting, the City Council discussed the potential for
allowing chickens and bees in residential districts. The discussion was prompted by
residential interest and was a project task of the Planning Commission in 2013-2014. The
Council's decision was not to amend the regulations to allow chickens and Staff was
directed Staff to prepare zoning and code amendments to clarify the City's regulations
that chicken keeping is not a permitted activity. Council members are advised that
amendments to the City's zoning and animal regulations were undertaken in November
2014 and February 2015 respectively.
A copy of the April 22nd City Council meeting agenda materials has been included as
background information on this item. Additionally, a map/graphic has been prepared to
depict lot size ranges for parcels in the City of Mound.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
TO: City Council
FROM: Sarah Smith, Community Development Director
Rita Trapp, Planning Consultant
DATE: April 15, 2014
SUBJECT: Urban Agriculture Study—Chicken and Bee Keeping
Summary
At its February 25, 2014 meeting, the City Council discussed the potential for allowing chickens
and bees in residential districts. The discussion was prompted by residential interest and was a
work program task of the Planning Commission in 2013. While the City Council determined that
beekeeping was not appropriate for the community at this time, it did request additional
information be provided at an upcoming meeting regarding the keeping of chickens.
Staff contacted a number of communities which allow chickens through a permitting process
including Anoka, Eagan, West St. Paul, Norwood Young America, and Rosemount. In general,
the communities indicated that the keeping of chickens does not generate a lot of complaints.
Some noted that there were more issues before there were regulations than after. One
community stated that they found a number of people that were interested in chickens did not
pursue permits for chickens once they participated in a mandatory class , which is a licensing
requirement, and better understood what was involved in raising chickens.
In addition to researching other communities' experiences, Staff has explored further how
potential regulations would impact the ability of property owners to have chickens. The
attached diagram was developed to explore whether there would be sufficient room for
chickens if minimum coop setback requirements were established. The diagram was created
for the minimum 6,000 square foot lot in the R -1A and R-2 districts assuming that the larger
the property the easier it would be to place a coop. The diagram assumes coops will not be
allowed in the yard setback areas. It also includes a 20 and 25 foot setback from residential
structures on adjacent properties. Option 1 is assuming a lot of record, while Option 2 is
assuming a standard lot. The diagrams indicate that the larger issue for property owners will
likely be impervious surface requirements rather than setback requirements.
Staff was also able to obtain a GIS file showing approximate building footprints. Please note
that the data was collected from aerial imagery and so is not completely accurate for individual
properties. However, it does provide another way of exploring the impact of setback
regulations on the ability of residential properties to have chickens. The attached maps were
created for sample neighborhoods in Three Points and on the Island. The maps show the
-27-
amount of land that may be available to property owners if the City were to require a 25 foot
coop setback from residential structures on adjacent property and a 50 foot setback from any
public waters or wetlands. Additional maps from other neighborhoods in the City will be
available at the meeting. The maps generally show that there still will be space available should
coops be required to be placed at least 25 feet from residential buildings on adjacent
properties. It should be noted that if setbacks from property lines are included in the
regulations, the available area will be reduced from what is shown on the maps.
Additional Information
Staff was contacted by Tom Stokes on March 16th who advised that he has had chickens on his
property for several years and would like the City Council to know that he is in favor of
changing the regulations. A copy of his email has been included as an attachment. Staff also
received a call from another resident, following the February 25th City Council meeting, who
expressed support for allowing chickens in Mound.

Subject: Chickens
Sara ,
I read the article in the laker concerning chickens . I must tell you that I have had
chickens for several years in mound . Please see the attached photo of my coupe .
I would suggest that the staff and council review a modern urban chicken coupe . Mine has
automated heated watering system ,Semi automated feeders, skylights, automated chicken door
and heat .
Chickens make great pets and all have there own personality . They make a fraction of the
noise and disturbance of my neighbors dogs . In fact I don't think most of my neighbors know
I even have them . Those that do love them. If attended properly they have very little sent
and there waste make great compost.
My chickens supply eggs for 4 family's in our community . I could go on and on about the
benefits of fresh eggs. The city of Minneapolis has much smaller yards and I know a number of
people who have chickens . The idea that a large yard is required is just not true.
I would welcome the staff and council to visit my coupe . I do believe that some limpets
should be put on them such as no roosters and I would be happy to share my ideas .

Amy Velsor, 3232 Gladstone Lane, said she is speaking on behalf of residents of Mound
who feel chickens would be beneficial to the community and said petitions supporting
chicken keeping in Mound can be found at change.org (148 signatures) and also on the
Facebook page which has 102 likes. Velsor said her husband made a request in 2012/13
but that it was voted down by the previous council. Velsor read her research on the subject
and said chickens are the ultimate recyclers and that they can teach lessons on
sustainability and reduce the miles of travel from producer to consumer. Velsor said the
eggs look different and taste amazing and have better nutrients than store bought eggs.
Velsor said there are no salmonella outbreaks to fear or egg shortages when they are
produced in your backyard and noted that chickens have personalities and behave as pets.
Velsor said a flock of 4 or 5 are not a business, and that it could actually cost more than
store bought eggs. Velsor said people don't do it for the money but the satisfaction of self
sustainability. Velsor agreed that chickens make noise but no more than the average dog.

Mound City Council Minutes — Aug 10, 2016
Velsor noted other communities have made allowances for the number of chickens based
on lot size and recommended the Council consider adopting Golden Valley's code and
requirements, which she read verbatim.
Velsor said she feels she adequately addressed all of the concerns noted when the original
request was declined in 2012. Velsor noted there are classes on chicken rearing offered by
Minnesota Landscape Arboretum and Gale Woods Farm.
Kurt Silton, 3237 Gladstone Lane, said he is a neighbor to the Velsors and that he would
have no problem with the Velsors owning chickens.
Mayor Wegscheid asked the council for input.
Peterson said she knows many communities have changed their code to allow chickens.
Wegscheid said he feels the challenge he hears from community members is a concern
about image. Velsor said she grew up in Edina and they allow chickens.
Gillispie said Mound has to consider the topography and lot sizes and does not have to
necessarily do what other cities do. She also said the fees would never recoup the cost and
the City has tried to streamline similar processes.
Salazar agreed the lot sizes are an issue and the current staff can't necessarily absorb the
responsibility for licensing and inspections. Salazar also asked where does the city draw
the line as the City has heard requests for alpacas and he could see other requests for
goats, etc. Salazar said the last time chickens were allowed was in 1962 and he does not
feel it is appropriate for the community.
Gesch said she is not necessarily against chickens. She thanked Velsor for the research,
bringing examples of code, and addressing the previous concerns. Gesch said based on
conversations with residents she feels an obligation as the decision maker and she would
vote against it mainly because of the lot sizes.
Peterson said the other council members have had more of a chance to explore and talk to
members of the community, but she does recognize there is a new movement afoot.
Wegscheid said that based on the comments it does not sound like there is support to bring
it back. Gesch asked if the Golden Valley code is on line and Velsor replied yes. Peterson
said people are passionate about it and questioned if it deserved further consideration.
Gillespie asked about the setbacks on lake lots and Smith said chickens would be subject to
the setbacks and that is not an issue.
Gesch said Staff analyzed lot sizes the last time and it was surprising how many small lots
there were.
Phil Velsor, 3232 Gladstone, suggested just not allowing chickens on smaller lots.
Discussion ensued and Wegscheid asked how do you allow it for some and not others and
not run into conflicts. Velsor asked where are the people who don't support it? Gillespie
said the presentation was excellent and she is willing to discuss it further but does not see
her position changing.

Public Gathering Process and Fees
Each year City staff bring forward to the Council community group requests for Public Gathering
Permits for use of public space. Often those approvals include requests for reduced fees or
additional services. In 2015, a contract for services was created with the Spirit of the Lakes
Festival that attempted to itemize the in-kind services provided by the City. This is by far the
largest single event the City is involved in and the contract achieved the desired transparency
and clearly defined expectations the Council had been asking for.
Recurring smaller events have yet to be memorialized in the form of an agreement. These
events include, but are not limited to: Moonlight Trail Night, Dog Days, Tour de Tonka, Tree
Lighting, the Boy Scout Flag Retirement Ceremony, and seasonal permits for the Mound
Farmers Market & More. Staff has just prepared resolutions showing the reason for the
reduced fee/public benefit.
It should be noted that many groups and events pay full fees, including: OLL, River Valley
Church, Running of the Bays 5K/Half Marathon, and all fishing tournaments.
Prior discussions with Council on public gathering permit fees and in-kind services generated
much discussion. Staff is looking for direction that would result in an efficient, transparent
mechanism to managing the permit fees and any requests for additional services.
In the past, a tiered ranking of groups based on their non-profit status and the benefits the
group provides to the Mound community was proposed. Staff was asked to determine the cost
of maintaining individual parks to somehow come up with a reasonable fee and the cost to
provide additional services like electric, barricades, trash removal, etc.
Staff respectfully suggests that each event is unique and that it would be extremely difficult to
develop an al -a -cart menu with associated costs for additional services. Therefore, Staff
suggests the public gathering permit be updated to include contract language specifically
stating what the permit holder is responsible for and clarifying what the base line service they
can expect from the City is (TBD). Anything more than the base line or any reduction in fees
would need to be approved by the Council in the form of an agreement or resolution that
justifies the action as a result of the public benefit of the event.
The current fee schedule for public gathering permits is a range of $300 - $600. Staff suggests
creating two categories of fees based on the location of the event, with the larger, more
popular sites having a fee of $300 and the smaller, neighborhood parks having a fee of $50 with
a limit on the maximum number of participants.

PARKS AND RECREATION*
See. 50-20. Public gatherings; permit required.
Use of a public park or commons by any group consisting of 15 or more individuals gathering
together or by any organization which brings 15 or more persons on to public lands to meet, picnic, or
conduct a group activity shall require a permit from the city. The city may issue said permit if he
determines that the area to be used for said meeting or group activity is available and that its collective
use will not interfere with traffic and general use of the park or commons and that said activity is not
beyond the ability of the police in maintaining order. The city may impose a permit fee and other
reasonable conditions including a requirement that said group remove all litter and trash and provide a
cash deposit to clean up the park area, and he may obtain the advice of the Police Chief and other staff
personnel before issuing said permits. The city may deny said permit or refer it to the City Council for
consideration. Any permits issued by the city or the City Council shall be subject to reasonable conditions
to protect the public's investment in its public parks and to protect the general public's use of the park and
common areas.

charged or not, without securing a license therefore. Between the hours of 10:00 p.m. and 7:00
a.m. it is unlawful to maintain a musical concert from which noise or music or other sound
emanates in sufficient volume such as to unreasonably disturb the peace, quiet, or repose of
persons residing in a residential area. The city council may, in its discretion, approve a request for
extended hours for an event(s). The term "musical concert" includes, but is not limited to, live

Issues
1. Commons are not meant for public gatherings and should only be used to access docks in municipal
dock program.
2. Need to adopt code language that allows for permitting special events on private property.
3. No mention of permits required for public gatherings/races/street closure for block parties, etc.
(Chapter 62 Streets, Sidewalks, and other public places). Note: Night to Unite gatherings are exempt
from the permit fees, but the City wishes to be informed when gatherings are to be held on public lands.
3. Increase the group size from 15 to 25 for permit to be required?
4. Public gathering permits should assume music/amplification is part of the event and not charge an
additional permit fee.

Liquor Store Donations Policy
Original Adoption:
Reference No. FIN-OXX
XX/XX/2016
Reviewed/Updated: TBD
PURPOSE: To prescribe the policies and procedures for the municipal liquor store to make
donations, contributions and/or sponsorships of money or in-kind.
SUMMARY: The City of Mound owns and operates a municipal liquor store commonly known as
Harbor Wine & Spirits and, as a municipal entity, is governed by the State of Minnesota
statutes. Per the Office of the State Auditor's Statement of Opinion, in most circumstances,
public entities have no authority to give away public funds as donations. Generally, in order to
spend money, a public entity must have authority to do so. Authority for an expenditure may be
specifically stated in statute or charter, or it may be implied as necessary to do what an express
power authorizes. In addition, the expenditure must be for a "public purpose."
Following these general principles, donations to people, non -profits, charities, or other groups are
not permitted unless it is based upon specific statutory or charter authority and there is a specific
contract for services in place documenting the exchange of value and determining that there is a
clear public purpose in doing so. For example, the Minnesota Attorney General's Office has
issued opinions finding that cities have no authority to donate city funds to organizations such as
the Red Cross or the Boy Scouts. The assumption is that a gift of public funds to an individual or
private entity serves a private rather than a public purpose.
Cities (and their municipal liquor stores) may be able to advertise the "resources of the
community" per Minn. Stat. § 469.188. However, the attorney general, in the 1942 Opinion
states that while a municipal liquor store may spend money for advertising, for example in a Red
Cross magazine, a donation in the guise of advertising is not proper and courts "are not likely to
sustain any subterfuge of this sort over the objections of a taxpayer."
Minnesota statutes sections 426.19 and 447.045 state what the city's liquor store enterprise fund
can be used for.
PROCEDURES:
1. The liquor store manager will deny all requests to make monetary or in-kind donations to any
entity.
2. Advertising product and services in publications will comply with Minn. Stat. § 469.188. Advertising must
be in publications made available to a large local audience (newspapers, resource guides, etc)
3. A contract for service must be authorized by the City Council for any product or services provided
to non -profits, charities, or other groups citing specific statutory authority, documenting the exchange
of value an determining that there is a clear public purpose in doing so.

MEMORANDUM
Date: October 26, 2016
To: Mayor and City Council
From: Catherine Pausche, Director of Finance and Administrative Services
Subject: Discussion on policy for utility billing for non -homestead properties
The City of Mound contracts for utility billing with OPUS21 in Woodbury. Currently, property
owners can choose if the utility bill is in their name or their renters name (if applicable). If it is
in the renter's name, the property owner can choose to get a copy of the bill. When there is a
change in renters, a final bill is requested, a manual read of the meter is done, a final bill is
calculated for the old renter and a new account is set up for the new renter along with a $10
move in fee.
In 2015, per Hennepin County, there were 240 property sales, and per OPUS21, there were 477
new accounts created, suggesting almost half of the new accounts created where for a change in
renters. In addition, 92 of the 657 delinquent utility accounts that received an assessment letter
had a secondary address listed in UB, but I suspect many more are non -homestead properties
where the property owner is not requesting a copy of the bill.
Staff suggests the Council consider requiring the primary account holder for UB be the property
owner as described on the attached policy, and/or increase the "Move -in Fee" of $10 to better
reflect the administrative burden of processing new accounts.
Staff recognizes public education needs to take place with landlords on any change in policy and
recommended best practices for managing rental properties when it comes to utility billing. Staff
sees many benefits in making the property owners more accountable early in the process,
including: (1) reduction in new accounts/special assessments resulting in administrative
efficiencies, (2) motivation to reduce consumption by properly maintaining plumbing fixtures
and preventing leaks, (3) free up public works resources by reducing work orders related to final
bills for rental properties.
Staff requests discussion and direction on how and whether or not to proceed with making any
changes.

Utility Billing for Non -Homestead Properties Policy
Original Adoption:
Reference No. FIN-OXX
XX/XX/2016
Reviewed/Updated: TBD
PURPOSE: To prescribe the policies and procedures for administering utility billing
accounts for non -homestead properties.
POLICY AND PROCEDURES:
1.1 Primary Accountholder
State law recognizes that the primary parties to the utility supply transaction are the City, as
supplier, and the property benefited by the utility service availability.
Minn.Stat. 444.074, s.3(e), authorizes the City to charge the owner and to certify unpaid
charges against the property served as a tax. Minn. Stat. 325E.025, s.2, distinguishes other
types of utility services (such as electrical, gas, propane, and telephone) from water utilities,
recognizing that water utilities provide a unique benefit to the property and are essential to
human habitation. In fact, the law prohibits owners from renting out any premises without a
connection to the water system. Gas, electric and phone utilities provide a benefit primary to
the end user - accordingly, the landlord is not responsible for their payment and unpaid
charges cannot be assessed against the property.
Therefore, the primary account holder on utility billing accounts will be the owner as listed on
the Hennepin County property tax information records. Property owners may request a
duplicate bill be mailed to the renters.
1.2 Primary Accountholder Responsibilities
The primary accountholder/property owner will be responsible for prorating bills when there is
a change in renters and no new account/final bill will be created in utility billing. Property
owners may choose to make the utility bill part of the monthly rent or have their renter pay the
bill directly.
City Staff will create a spreadsheet that property owners can use to estimate/prorate a final bill
when a change in renters occurs. Lease agreements should address how the utility bill will be
handled during the course of the lease and at lease termination.

CITY DP MOUND
MEMORANDUM
Date: October 27, 2016
To: Mayor and City Council
From: Catherine Pausche, Director of Finance and Administrative Services
Subject: 5 Year Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) 2017 - 2021
The City of Mound analyzes its Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) on an annual basis to ensure
infrastructure and deferred maintenance needs are being addressed and to determine the
corresponding impact on the levy and utility rates. Mound will essentially complete its
comprehensive street improvement project in 2017, a major milestone that will bring lasting
benefits well into the future. By contract, utility infrastructure needs will continue, including,
but not limited to, addressing the remaining lift stations, Inflow and Infiltration issues (I&I),
water distribution and quality, and stormwater outfalls.
Whereas 2017 is expected to be the last year of street project bonding, the utility funds will have
capital needs throughout the next 5 years. In 2014, the Council approved annual utility rate
increases of 8.5% for water, 9.5% for sewer, and 6.5% for storm for 2015 through 2017.
Although the bonding levels fluctuated during this period, smoothing the rate increases led to a
more predictable rate schedule which was easier to communicate with the public while
continuing to increase receipts to cover operating costs and debt service.
Once again, Staff looked at what rate increases are needed to support the additional debt service
that will fund the proposed CIP for 2018 through 2021. Whereas General Obligation debt
service, financed over 15 years, is expected to peak in 2018, the utility funds debt service,
financed over 20 years, will not peak until 2023/24. Steady rate increases will need to continue,
and Staff is recommending minimum annual rate increases of 6% for water and sewer and 2%
for storm from 2018 through 2021 to keep up with the additional debt service. Cash flow will
continue to be a top priority, particularly as construction projects wind down, as will the
importance of unrestricted net assets in the General Fund available for interfund loans.
Please let Catherine know if you have any questions regarding this matter at (952)472-0633.
