Staff Report
Date of Meeting: December 18, 2018
To: City Council
From: Neil Soltis, Administrator
Re: Administrator’s report
Building Inspection – Through the end of November, 421 permits with a total valuation of
$25,016,974 have been issued. The 2018 totals include the permits for the Scandia Elementary
School improvements and for 16 new homes. The compares to 666 permits with a total value
of $27,283,646 with 20 new homes for the first eleven months of 2017.
Liquor License Compliance – The City has received notification that the Brookside Pub failed an
alcohol compliance check in October. The arraignment for the employee who made the sale
was held on December 11. The case has now been scheduled for an additional hearing on
Tuesday, January 15, 2019. Once additional information on the failed check is obtained, this may
necessitate a hearing and potential action by the Council.
Gateway Trail – The Technical Evaluation Panel performed a field review of the wetland
delineation reports Minor changes will be made to the delineations before TEP approval. A
follow-up meeting with Bolton & Menk and MN DNR engineering staff is scheduled for
December 19th..
Argo Navis Community Solar Garden – On December 19th the TEP members will be meeting
with BHE Renewables and their engineer to discuss strategies for addressing the TEP findings
regarding River Sediment Plume Removal, Streambed Sediment Removal, Culvert Repairs, WCA
wetland, Slope stabilization, and Site enhancements.
Fiber to the Premise Internet project – The Internet Focus Group has drafted a request for
proposals to seek a partner to design, engineer, project management, build and operate a
citywide fiber-to-the-premise network. There will be discussion on the RFP and cost/benefit at
the December 17 EDA meeting. Further discussion will be on the January City Council work
session agenda. A copy of the draft RFP and cost benefit information follow this report.
Insurance renewals – The League Insurance Trust has not yet released the quotes for the
renewal of the property and liability and workers compensation coverages. Based on the
estimates provided by the League and the published workers compensation rates for 2019, it
appears as though sufficient funds have been included in the proposed budget.
Olinda Lane lot – The Option Agreement for the purchase of the City’s lot on Olinda Lane was
executed by the adjoining property owners on November 28th. The Option Agreement
provides for a 60-day “Option Term” beginning on the “Execution Date.” The “Option Term”
runs until January 26, 2019 during which time the purchasers will need to execute a purchase
agreement and deposit $7,000. The City Attorney has drafted a purchase agreement which is
being reviewed by the purchasers.
Conservation Partners Legacy Grant Program – The City applied for a grant to restore the
wetlands at Lilleskogen Park and to implement the park plan. The funds included in the 2019
Park Capital Fund budget for wetland restoration would serve as the 10% local match for the
grant. Unfortunately the Lilleskogen Park Restoration was not selected for funding for FY2019
since the review committee felt that the cost per acre was very high for this type of project and
had questions about some of the projects that would be funded and whether they are elig ible
for funding under CPL. The scope of the grant request could be modified and submitted in the
next traditional cycle which opens 8/1/2019 or the Expedited Conservation Project which is
open until 1/14/2019.
Veterans Memorial – The Veterans Memorial Committee has approached the City regarding
the potential for the City to act as fiscal agent for the remaining funds in place of the Scandia
Marine Lions Foundation. The Committee’s intention is to contribute $4,500 towards sidewalk
costs at the park and the balance of funds then would be requested to be set up in a city account for
future memorial purposes. The Committee has been asked to formally make this request to the
Council. This will also require a modification to the agreement that places the burden for funding future
maintenance of the memorial on the Lions Foundation.
Classification and Compensation Study – Springsted will begin work on the study in January.
Mayor & Council salary increase – Ordinance No. 156 provide that following the municipal
regular election in 2016, and following each subsequent municipal regular election, the salary
of the Mayor and Councilmembers shall be adjusted following the municipal election to
become effective January 1 in a percentage equal to the change in the United States
Department of Labor Consumer Price Index (November report) for all urban consumers U.S. city
average since the last salary adjustment. The Index increased by 4.4% from November 2016 to
November 2018 so the salaries will be adjusted accordingly. Sufficient funds are included in the
2019 budget.
Expiring Committee terms - The terms of a Planning Commission member and a Wastewater
Advisory Committee member for the Uptown Community Septic Treatment System will expire
February 1, 2019. Appointments will be made for five-year terms ending February 1, 2024.
The home page of City’s website has information on applying for the positions. Applications are
due by Noon on Thursday, December 27, 2018.
Metropolitan Council – Following this report is a letter from Governor-Elect Walz regarding
appointments to the Metropolitan Council.
