B. Schilling Place, Outlot A and Outlot B, Vacation of Drainage and Utility Easements
Mayor Stephens declared the public hearing open and recognized Mr. Klayton Eckles, Engineering and Public Works Director to give the background.
Mr. Eckles explained that this is a rather procedural public hearing, which are required anytime easements are vacated. Typically, the City obtains an easements for specific purposes when plats occur as it is difficult to obtain them afterwards.
The City had obtained blanket easements across Outlot A and Outlot B when the Shilling Place was platted; however, they are now in the process of being replatted and some of the areas will become buildable and some will be for the permanent stormwater pond. The vacating of these easements will clean up that plat.
Reasons for Vacating the Easement A public drainage and utility easement was previously dedicated to the City where there is no longer a need
for the full extend of the easement Easement area to be vacated is no longer necessary New easement dedicated with re-platting of the property, Schilling Place 2nd Addition
Mr. Eckles shared the location map of the entire property, which is located between Finley Road and Bailey Road. He also shared an image of the easement location to be vacated and an image of the Schilling Place 2nd Addition.

The question that is asked most often is ‘if my property value has gone up, will my property taxes automatically rise too?’.
1. Property values are used to “distribute” the tax burden; it doesn’t create the tax burden 2. Property values are set independently by Washington County 3. The City Council controls only the City levy 4. The levy amount is fixed and does not grow or fall based on changes in property valuation 5. Each home’s characteristics and valuation are unique; it is hard to compare home-to-home 6. The degree of change in property taxes will be impacted by the level of increase or decrease in home value
compared to the average

improvements made. Expect to see some paving activities by mid-October, with substantial completion by the end of October.
The City holds the contractor responsible for establishing turf and taking care of any problems or issues, so staff will do another inspection of the whole project next year
Woodbury Drive – Pavement Project Between Tamarack Road and Park Crossing will be repaired with an overlay Because of a major work area – replacing a pipe underneath the roadway – they have elected to close the
entire road section and detour the traffic. If they close the entire section for approximately a week they can get the whole project done rather than disrupting traffic for a much longer period of time (approx. 6 weeks) with partial lane closures.
The delay on the State project on Manning Avenue (which has just opened to traffic) caused a delay on the Woodbury Drive project
Final Street Projects – substantially completed by the end of the month South Ridge 1st and 2nd Additions Ashton Ridge Eastview Place 1st Addition East Meadows Stonemill Farms 15th Addition
Mayor Stephens asked for clarification of when Woodbury Drive would be closed. Mr. Eckles replied that it would be closed beginning September 27 through October 3, 2017. She asked that the County make sure that businesses in the affected area have appropriate signage to let residents know how to get to them.

Office of City Administrator Council Letter No. 17-261 October 11, 2017 TO: The Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council FROM: Clinton P. Gridley, City Administrator SUBJECT: Approval to Purchase Equipment – Two Crestline Ambulances and Budget
Amendment
SUMMARY Staff requests Council approve the purchase of two replacement Crestline Ambulances, from Crestline Coach, Ltd. through the North Central EMS Corporation dba, Savvik Buying Group. Funds for one Crestline ambulance is allocated in the Emergency Medical Service (EMS) Fund in the amount of $170,000 for one ambulance and staff is recommending a budget amendment to purchase the second ambulance with use of fund balance from the EMS Fund. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends Council adopt the attached resolution approving the purchase of two Crestline Ambulances from Crestline Coach Ltd. through the Savvik Buying Group Agreement for an amount not to exceed the cost of $461,321 and amend the 2017 EMS Fund budget. BUDGET IMPACT The bid submitted by Crestline Coach Ltd, and additional costs associated with the purchase, is as follows: Two - Crestline Icon Type III Ambulance with custom specifications ($188,895 each)
$377,790
Unforeseen minor specification changes ($2,500 each) $5,000 TOTAL NOT TO EXCEED AMOUNT PAYABLE TO CRESTLINE COACH LTD

Council Letter No. 17-261 October 11, 2017 Page 2 Two replacement ambulances were identified in the adopted 2018-2022 Capital Improvement Plan. The costs for one of the ambulances was originally included in the adopted 2016 budget but it was decided to carry over those funds to the 2017 budget while the manufacturer developed an ambulance model to meet the most stringent recommendations and performance guidelines. The second ambulance was planned for the 2018 budget however, due to the advanced age and mileage of the 2008 model it is necessary to request the purchase of the second ambulance in 2017. It also must be noted that due to the updated specifications and guidelines to be adopted by the Minnesota Emergency Medical Services Regulatory Board (EMSRB), the cost of each ambulance and required additional equipment is higher than originally budgeted. The purchase of one replacement Crestline Ambulance is included in the 2017 EMS Fund budget in the amount of $170,000. The purchase of a second replacement Crestline Ambulance and additional associated expenditures will require a budget amendment to the EMS Fund in the amount of $291,312. The use of fund balance in the EMS Fund will be required to appropriate funds for these additional purchase costs. CONTRACT AWARD The North Central EMS Cooperative (NCEMSC) dba Savvik Buying Group is a Minnesota non-profit corporation based in St. Cloud Minnesota, NCEMSC’s mission is to provide a mechanism to achieve cost reductions for its members, which currently includes over 2,000 EMS agencies in 49 states. In collaboration with the North Central EMS Institute, NCEMSC creates specifications for EMS products and supplies, which NCEMSC uses to bid and write contracts. Minnesota Statues 471.345 sudb.10 requires NCEMSC to use competitive bids or quotations in order for its products or services to be available to municipal members within specific buying thresholds. It also allows NCEMSC to award contracts to more than one vendor, provided the effects of competition are maintained in competitive bidding or quotations. In order to adequately serve the majority of NCEMSC members, which are municipal, NCEMSC follows the governmental contracting system designed by the State of Minnesota. The NECMSC dba Savvik Buying Group has issued a contract with Crestline Coach Ltd. for the ambulances and additional radios and stretchers have been contracted through the following listed vendors:
VENDOR EQUIPMENTCrestline Coach, Ltd Two Crestline Icon, Type III ambulances Stryker EMS Equipment Two Power-PRO XT Stretchers Motorola (State bid Contact # 119587)
Two Motorola APX6500 Digital Remote/Dual Mount Mobile Radio
Advanced Graphix, Inc. Custom Graphics and application with 5% discount
Council Letter No. 17-261 October 11, 2017 Page 3 The City of Woodbury is a member of the NCEMSC and by purchasing vehicles through the North Central EMS Cooperative; the City saves the time and expense of developing individual specifications and advertising. Because the cooperative goes through a “public bidding process,” it meets all of the City purchasing requirements. Multiple quotes for the cots were received and reviewed; the Motorola contract is a bid per state contract (#119587); Advanced Graphix, Inc. is the preferred vendor for fleet graphics. BACKGROUND Administrative Directive AD-EP-3.3 outlines the Vehicle and Equipment Replacement Schedule for an ambulance at 8 years, 80,000 miles. The replacement policy is used for maintaining a safe and reliable fleet, providing an efficient and cost effective operation. At this time the current 2008 model year ambulances in the fleet exceed both their age and usages (mileage/hours) guidelines. The age and use of the ambulance is requiring more frequent and expensive maintenance and repairs making maintaining them in the fleet exceedingly cost prohibitive. The trade-in value of the 2008 models is $2,000 per ambulance. Staff will be exploring the value of donating these ambulances verses trading them in or selling them. This will be brought forward to the council at a later date. The Emergency Medical Services Regulatory Board of Minnesota will also be adopting new guidelines and specifications for ambulance licensing in Minnesota as set forth by the Commission on Accreditation of Ambulance Services. The safety of patients and crews being transported and working in ambulances across Minnesota was one of the driving forces behind updating ambulance standards as the current Minnesota rules for ambulances were implemented in the late 1970’s to early 1980’s. These proposed new ambulances will meet the updated specifications for the integrity of stretchers and their locking mechanisms, patient restraints as well as the g-force requirements for cabinets. In particular, the updated guidelines for the stretcher, patient restraint systems and equipment mountings meet similar performance testing of other vehicle restraints in the event of front or side impacts. The Freightline chassis will also now meet international crash requirements. All of these updates ensure we have the safest ambulances, treatments and transportation possible for both patients and personnel. Once a part of the fleet, these two ambulances will be maintained by Fleet Services after receiving training from both Crestline Coach Ltd. and Allina Health. Written By: J.B. Guiton, EMS Commander

Property Cleanup to the Washington County Auditor SUMMARY Annually staff reviews the status of delinquent unpaid special charges for property cleanup and proposes that they be certified to Washington County for collection on property tax statements. Typically this review occurs in the fall since certifications must be made for the next year’s taxes prior to November 30th. These delinquent unpaid special charges will be payable with 2018 taxes. There are a total of 4 delinquent accounts with unpaid special charges. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends Council adopt the attached resolution Certifying Delinquent Unpaid Special Charges – Property Cleanup to the 2018 property taxes. BUDGET IMPACT The total amount of delinquent unpaid special charges is $1,850.00. All accounts will be charged three percent (3%) interest on their balance. The amount of interest we will collect on these accounts is approximately $72. Pursuant to the fee schedule we will also be collecting a $25 special assessment administrative fee per property on certified unpaid special charges. The total amount of this fee is $100 and will offset staff time as well as the amount we are charged by Washington County to certify these accounts. The fees and interest as well as the delinquent receivable are recorded in the General Fund. PROCESS The City Code Enforcement Officer cited these properties for property cleanup violations. Owners were given an opportunity to correct the violation and after a period of time the code enforcement officer ordered the work to be done and the City incurred a cost for the cleanup. The property owners were then sent an invoice for the charges. Staff sent written notices for unpaid charges to the current owners of properties notifying them that if the balance was not paid
Council Letter No. 17-265 October 11, 2017 Page 2 by September 18, 2017 the City would be certifying the balance to Washington County for collection with next year’s property taxes.

On September 25, 2017 notice of the public hearing on the proposed assessment of the delinquent unpaid special charges was sent to the property owners and copies sent to any purchasers at the sheriff’s sale. On September 27, 2017 notice of the public hearing was published in the Woodbury Bulletin. BACKGROUND The certification is for unpaid special charges. These charges are for reimbursement of invoices the City paid for property cleanup. Woodbury City Code Sec. 15-5 states in part “The enforcing official may cause the violations to be corrected by private or public means and pursuant to the provisions of Minnesota Statutes Chapter 429.101, the City may collect unpaid special charges for abating a nuisance for all or any part of the cost of the work plus administrative fees as a special assessment.” This year there are 4 accounts with unpaid special charges totaling $1,850.00.

Public Safety:
The Fire Services Division is gearing up for the education and community connections that go along
with Fire Prevention Week, which will be celebrated nationally Oct. 8-14. Crews will visit 11 schools
and make contact with more than 1,200 students. The week will culminate with a fire station open
house Saturday, Oct. 14, from 9 a.m.-11 a.m. at the Fox Run Fire Station.
Police officers are wrapping up summer and fall crime prevention programming. Much effort was put
into community engagement and crime prevention training and direct contact with residents through
the following programs: Crime Free Multi-housing, Residential Security Surveys, Paw Patrol and
Crime Free Hotel/Motel. This is just a sample of the programs used to educate residents on what they
can do to help keep themselves, their property and the community safe.
Public Safety Director Lee Vague and Detective Paul Kroshus participated in a press conference with
the department’s partners at Washington County rolling out a campaign to bring greater awareness for
victims of sex trafficking. The campaign, called “Speak Up. They Can’t,” is intended to train workers in
the hospitality industry to recognize illegal behavior and, in effect, become a voice for victims.
EMS staff had contact with 257 patients during the month of September as compared to 231 in
September 2016.
