Administrative staff is cuttently housed in non-ADA accessible trailers without running water, while education staff offices are located above the boiler room accessed only by a wooden staircase. Tropical Encounter animais are housed in a basement area and are not permanently on view. To mitigate this critical shortage of space, a new Education Resource Center is proposed that will house public functions-classrooms, lunchroom, auditorium and other public spaces. Other non- pubiic functions, inciuding administration, will be housed in less expensive quarters. II. What are advantages of this proposai The new Resource Center will fill the growing need of environmental education now required as part of the curriculum of many K-12 schools. The project will also help preserve existing assets, link facilities and staffs, and provide learning experiences for visitors from throughout the state. Will bring the Zoo and Conservatory up to ADA standards for staff and visitors. It will also provide permanent offices for staff now housed in trailers and other non-ADA facilities, and will provide visitor and staff restrooms. III.

Explain this proposal $10 miilion is requested to continue work on the Phalen Corridor Initiative, in particular Phalen Boulevard construction. Phalen Boulevard generally runs along an active rail corridor on Saint Paul's East Side from Interstate E(I-35E) to Johnson Parkway. These dollars would be used to fill the financing gap to construct the west segment of Phalen Boulevazd from 35E to Payne Avenue. This segment will connect the Stroh's site to a new roadway. The overall cost to construct Phalen Boulevazd is $48 million. II. What are advantages of this proposal The Phalen Comdor Initiative fits in well with the newly popu]ar concept of "Smart Crrowth" and strategies that incorporate putting jobs into the urban core to reduce the dependency on automobile travel. The Phalen Corridor would put jobs in the city where employees could ride the bus or even waik to work. This project is estimated to produce up to 2,000 livable wage jobs and will heip to retain 4,000 jobs in the Corridor area. It is also expected that the 100 acres of underutilized brownfield area will be accessed for redevelopment when the Initiative is completed. III.

(Areas such as this are commonly referred to as brownfields.) Through this effort, approximately 58 acres will be redeveloped into productive industrial use. The use ofthe $2.371 million proposed in this fundin� request will be for construction ofnew roads in the redevelopment area. Providing these new roadways will establish important links between the site and the existing Saint Paul roadways. II. What are advantages of this proposnl Maxson and the Dale Street Shops area are the biggest and most important industrial redevelopment sites in Saint Paul. These sites are along a redevelopment conidor in areas ofthe city that are most in need of reinvestment. This project holds the potential for good paying, living-wage jobs for Saint Paul residents and plays a key role in the overall redevelopment of these corridors. This development would also provide for an expansion of Saint Paul's tax base that wili ea-tend beyond the boundaries of the actual property of the projects. This project aiso fits in well with the ever-growing popular notion of"Smart Growth." III.

Expiain this proposal $13.5 million for phase one of a project to relocate and extend Pierce Butler in Saint Paul's Frogtown azea from Grotto Street to Arundel Street. Of this amount, $3 mi(lion is for right of way purchase. II. What are advantages of this proposal Completion of this project will allow for the expansion of the West Minnehaha Recreation Center, along with the construction of an Achievement Plus School and the National Guard Armory. It would also ailow improved access to an important industrial site known as the Burtina on Northern Dale Street Shops. This pro}ect is very important to the Fro�town area because the Frogtown Achievement Plus' preferred location is at the comer of Minnehaha and Dale Streets. In order to access that preferred site, Pierce Butler should be rerouted. Creating the Frogtown Achievement Plus is important to this area as it has one of the hi�hest child-per-block ratios in the state. III.

Explain this proposal Highway 5 from the MinneapolislSaint Paul Airport is the first point of entry into Minnesota's Capital City for many visitor from around the country and the world. The current presence of the highway is relatively unattractive, and does not create a positive image for visitor or citizen alike. This proposal includes $1 million for native landscaping along T.H. 5 from the Airport to the Fort Snelling Tunnel, historic lighting and railing on both the T.H. 5 bridge over the Mississippi River and the West Seventh Bridge over I-35E, and historic lighting and improved landscaping on West Seventh Street from the Mississippi River to I-35E. II. What are advantages of this proposal Over 30,000 vehicies per day use this segment of West Seventh Street as a direct connection between I-35E and T.H. 5. A more decorative route would not only provide these commuters and visitors with a positive and attractive image of Saint Paul, but would also calm the traffic as a result of the scenic nature of the route.

Explain this proposal Pig's Eye Dump, which opened in 1956 and closed in 1972, located in Saint Paul is by faz the largest unremediated dump in the state ofMinnesota. At approximately 325 acres, it is over three times larger than the second largest dump, and approximately ten times larger than the third lazgest dump. The City of Saint Paul wants to clean-up the dump, and has prepared a Remedial Action Plan with a cost of approximately $8 million. It is expected that these clean-up doilars will come from the existing bonding authority of the Minnesota Pollution Control Agencies' Closed Landfill Clean-up Program. II. What are advantages of this proposal Pig's Eye Dump in (ocated on a flood plain near Pig's Eye Lake on the banks of the Mississippi River. This area is home to one of the ]argest nesting rookeries for Egrets and Herons in the state. Cleaning up Pig's Eye Dump will serve the citizens of Saint Paui, wildlife living on the site, and both wildlife and people living downstream by providing a cleaner and safer environment. III.

Identify known opposition to this proposal Minnesota Pollution Control Agency Oo-3� EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Irctroductian This Remedial Action Plan (RAP) was prepazed on behalf of the City of Saint Paul fo be a scoping document, outlining the selected remedial alternative for the Pig's Eye Landfill in Saint Paul, Minnesota. It presents a compilation of historical data and investigations, a conceptual hydrogeologic modei, a screening ecological risk assessment and an evaluation of remedial altematives. A draft RAP was prepazed and submitted to the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (NII'CA) in February 1999. The February 1999 RAl' was based on a preliminary plan for the Site developed by the MI'CA. Upon review of the draft the MPCA requested that a more detailed evaluation of remedial altematives be conducted in the RAP. The Site is currently managed by the MI'CA under its Site Response Section. The City of Saint Paul is considering peritioning the MPCA to transfer the Site into its Voluntary Investigation and Cleanup (VIC) program. In light of this potential, this RAP was prepared according to the applicable VIC guidance. Data Summaru A LimiEed Remedial Investigation for the Site was completed in 1444. From 1994 through 1996 the MPCA conducted supplementary investigations. These included additional soil and sediment sampling in the Battery Disposal Area (identified as a source area in the LRI) and a cover thickness investigation. In 1998 and 1999, the MPCA and CRA collected additional surface water and landfill seep samples. The availabie data from these investigations has been compiled into a comprehensive database in this repott. The investigations identified impacts from a variety of chemicals including metals, volatile organic compounds, semi-volatile orgazuc compounds and some limited pesticides and PCBs. Concepta�al HudreQeologic Model The base of the waste in the landfill corresponds to the normal elecation of the Mississippi River and Pig's Eye Lake, which is approximately 687 feet AMSL. The top of the waste is at an average elevafion of appLOximately 701 feet. Ln response to precipitation, the groundH�ater mound has Eormed in the northern and southem porrions of the landfill. The water table within the waste reaches an eleva[ion of approximately 692 feet, under normal conditions such that roughly 30 percent of the u886 (i� 1 GONESTOGA-ROVERS $ ASSOCIATES 00-39 waste materiai is saturated. Groundwater within the waste flows downwazd and out ward into the underiying alluvial aquifer and into Battle Creek, and Pig's Eye L.ake. Beneath the waste in the southem portion of the landfill is a sequence of organic ciay and peat materials. Seeps aze infrequent and typically small suggesting that a significant amount of groundwater flows downward beneath the landfill. The major exception is the pond in the southeast portion of the landfill that is essentially a lazge seep that has filled a depression in the landfill surface. During normal river level conditions this pond flo�vs into Pig's Eye I.ake. The landfill is subject to zegular flooding due to its location in the flood plain of the Mississippi River. During a typical spring flood the normal flow of water out of the landfill is reversed and river water flows into the waste materials along the mazgins of the landfill. This condiiion has occurred an average of 67 days per year since the landfill closed in 1972. The 10-yeaz flood level is 699 feet, which is above a majority of the waste in the landfill. There have been nine 10-year flood events since 1950. the river rises above the high water table elevations withict the center of the landfill. During extreme flooding events nearly the enHre landfill is submerged. Thee have been four 50-yeaz flood events since 1950. Screening Ecolo�ical Risk AssessmenE The screening ecological risk assessment evaluated surface water, sediment, soil and groundwater. The surface water data suggested little real potential risk. The sediment sampling data showed low to intermediate risk over most of the Site. Risk from sediment to benthic organisms was found likely in the Battery Disposal Area in the south east area of the Site. Soil data indicated levels of lead and cadmium above the benchmarks for some areas of the Site. This evidence is corroborated by stressed vegetation in these areas. The shallow groundwater within the landfill e�ibited exceedences of ambient water qualiEy criteria, however, the deep wells along the Pig's Eye Lake boundary landfill e�ibited low concentrations that would not pose a risk to Pig's Eye Lake. Review of Remedial Alternatives Seven Areas of Concem were identified for the Site, including: • Battle Creek; • Battery Disposal Area and Southeast Pond; • Exposed Drum Area; ta886 p) ll CONESTOGA-ROVERS E� ASSOCIATES 00 -31 • Shallow Groundwater Dischazge to Pig's Eye Lake; • I.andfill Cover; • Southwest Pond; and • Railroad Ditch Various remedial alternatives were developed joindy by the City of Saint Paul and MI'CA for these Areas of Concern to evaluate the appropriate Site-wide remedy. These altematives were evaluated based upon effectiveness, implementabIlity, and cost. Considerations were also made in terms of the relationships between the potentially selected altematives between the various Areas of Concem. Selection o the Proposed Remedu Based upon the altematives evaluation, the proposed remedy for the Pig's Eye Landfill Site wIll consist of the following components: • StabilizaHon of the existing stream banks of BatHe Creek through the landfill and reroute of the lower portion of the creek away from the landfffl face; • Excavation (and possible stabilization) of the Battery Disposal Area soils unpacted by lead, and on-Site disposal beneath the landfill cover at an upland location of the Site; ' • Filling of the SoutheasE Pond with general fill and organic soil, followed by high density planting of trees to provide groundwater uptake; • On-Site management of exposed druzns contauung solid wastes and off-Site disposal of exposed drums containing liquid wastes; • The stabilization of the landfill cover along Pig's Eye Lake and the former lower teach of Batfle Cxeek to pcovide adequate slopes to prevent landfill seepage to surface water from occurring and to provide erosion protection; • Selective planting of trees along the peTimeter of the landfill adjacent to the Railroad Ditch, Pia s Eye Lake, Battle Creek, and in select areas of' the Site to address groundwater mounding; • Augmentation of the existing landfill cover with permeable soils to a minimum thiclmess of 2 feet and vegetated with grasses; • Filling of the Southwest Pond to an elevation as to prevent further ponding (subject to additional investigation); • Stabilization of the landfill slopes adjacent to the Railroad Ditch; and taae6 (t� lll CONESTOGA-ROVERS & ASSOqATES 00 - 3q • Provide necessary operation and maintenance of the iznplemented remedial components. EstimaEed Resyonse Action Costs Based upon the proposed remedy for the Pig's Eye Landfill the total estimated capital cost will be $7,949,000 with an estimated annual operation and maintenance cost of $63,000 per year. The estimated Present Worth, based upon 30 years and a 5 percent discount rate, is $8,917,000. Proposed Pre-Design InvesEigations A number of Pre-Design Investigations are proposed to be conducted prior to proceeding with final design. These Pre-Design Investigations aze necessary to provide adequate detailed Site information in order to develop and design the Site-wide remedy. Project Schedule The completion of the Final Desia for the remedy will be contingent upon obtaining adequate financial resources to fund the project. The City of Saint Paul is ciurenfly pursuing attauung such funding and is expecting to receive assistance from MI'CA in ordei to complete the response action. taee6(1) 1V CONESTOGA-ROVEflS $ ASSOCIATES oo-3g O o - 3g �Y 1 i aa � rs¢n.� ..,c" a v? --_—_- r � ,, .� a � :. \ i Ail ` ; c � --- - - .-�'..'�`.,- ;� - `` � f ''�- - :✓ �� x ° \ _ ,, _°�.. _ � � .,�; ,' ,, -, . �� - � ,, � , � �_Y � , �� r -�. --- y , i . � e i i' r�54 }iafche7 - � ��y � �� . � � \' I - _ oo � t € { � '. � � + � - \ - �� ,, ��' ' �_- ...� - _� �� ' �'1 -'.`" -�7,[lrytl�p•� � 1� —J --� l �- � T ' .r ` ''\ �^ }�y. � .� �-� 1 �i, �—�� c � . . _ �\� �� . -� i. �-,\ �.�a . �va ` � �:��\ '" ��, �1\ ' �� ,� ` > o �� i�� _�� ' ,./_ Q � ti �j\ �==.:- -� p 3, �, � r _ � ' Rr��- �b a' - " ___ � �a� �„�� N � :� � �/� i m'�l r ) � � �• " � ' _ .�`� Y � I o C �� G \�O � X �� \�\��` i �\ � � p �� i'' } ° �� 1. ! �� --_ � 1 _ ` PiG'S El'E �, �`� �` ` �, LANDFlLL ~ _ - _ �' � , �, � ; ,� n - - - _ _ .�� . � � � � � _ ,, ;., , �. �_ _ _= _ � d __ _ . __ �, . o � _ � � �, � �� :�—� u :�� -�. _ _ �(��.� � t a I � \ Q � � ° - i �� : j ;} •� �t � l� � a ` � °____ _, %�;�_ e �-- — u;; _ � -- a �q � '�•�( �� \ ii ' .' - ^ �� '; � �I '.

Eapfain this proposal Current law does not allow local units ofgovernment to recover attorneys fees when prosecuting public nuisances. This proposal provides for the award of costs and attorneys fee to the prosecuting attorney if the recipient of an abatement order fails to comply in a specified period of time, and prosecution to enforce the order is required. II. What are advantages of this proposal Prosecuting public nuisances is a very expensive undertaking for local units of government, By making it possible for prosecuting attorneys to recover costs and fees two benefits wili be realized for cities: First, the expensive costs of Qrosecuting scoff laws will be eliminated or reduced; second, the potential burden of having to pay additional lawyers fees and costs will act as an added inducement for the public nuisance to comply with the abatement order. III. Identify known support Municipalities IV.

BE TI' ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF "I'HE STATE OF MINNESOTA: Section 1. ivLnnesota Statutes 1998, section 617.82, is amended to read: 617.82. Agreed abatement plans; temporary order. (a) If the recipient of a notice under section 617.81, subdivision 4, either abates the conduct constituting the nuisance or enters into an agreed abatement plan within 30 days of service ofthe notice and compties with the agreement within the stipulated time period, the prosecuting attorney may not file a nuisance action on the specified property regarding the nuisance activity described in the notice and the court shall not award attorney fees and costs to such nrosecutine attorney. (b) If the recipient fails to compiy with the agreed abatement plan, the prosecuting attorney may initiate a compiaint for relief in the district court consistent with paragraph (c) and shall be awarded costs and attomey fees if the court issues a temporarv injunction under section 617 82 subdivision (cl a permanent injunction under section 617.83. or an order of abatement under sections 617.83 or 617.84. (c) Whenever a prosecuting attorney has cause to believe that a nuisance described in section 617.81, subdivision 2, e�cists within the jurisdiction the attorney serves, the prosecuting attorney may by verified petition seek a temporary injunction in district court in the county in which the alleged pubiic nuisance exists, provided that at least 30 days have expired since service of the notice required under section 617.81, subdivision 4. No temporary injunction may be 00 -3°l issued without a prior show cause notice of hearing to the respondents named in the petition and an opportunity for the respondents to be heard. Upon proof of a nuisance described in section 617.81, subdivision 2, the court shall issue a temporary injunction. Any temporary injunction issued must describe the conduct to be enjoined.

Amending cunent law in ivfinnesota Statute Chapter 282 will provide municipalities with more useful tools in ensuring that tax forfeited land is returned to ta�c rolls andlor to proper use as soon as possible. The proposed amendments include: • Allowing municipalities to acquire property unsold at auction for $1 plus fees, or at reduced cost. • Require that the County provide notice to municipalities, prior to auction, of any ta3c forfeit properties due to quit claim deed so that these properties can be purchased prior to auction at the appraised value or at a reduced cost. • Allow acquisition of any property in a targeted area for $1. • Allow revision of homestead or non-homestead classification when delinquent taxes exist. This would, in effect, shorten the time to when a tax forfeited property is acquired so that vacant property is put to good use. • Revise the statute to reduce the amount of time a property owner has to pay delinquent taxes to one year with a provision for a six month hardship e�ctension. VII. W hat are advantages of this proposal This legislation wouid accelerate the process by which ta�c-forfeited land is acquired by municipalities. The shorter the time period vacant land and property remain unused, the greater the reductiott of blight in a given area. Changes to current law would make it possible for vacant land to retum to the tas rolls thereby eliminating the burden of blight in cities. VIII. Identify known support Various municipalities ia the state IX. Identify known opposition to this proposal Various real estate organizations � MaryHe�en Mische - taxfoifi.Iegis.wpd -` � _ � - - - - — — — p , 00.39 ; Recoanizina the strong economy and market for real estate and demand for homes, PED supports te�islation which would streamline the tar forfeiture process and accelerate the time period with a goal to improve bliohted properties and retum land to the ta� rolls as soon as possible. Minnesota Statute Chapter 282 provides the procedure for the County to manage tax-forfeited land. Recently, the process was revised to rzquire municipatitizs to respond to the County within 60 days ([his is a rzduction in time from 90 days) as to which properties they are interested in. Further, the time period that the propeRy will be hefd from sale has been reduced to six months (formerly one year). PED concurs �vith the County's efforts to return the properties to the ta�c rolls faster and would propose additionaf Iz�islation be enac[zd to meet thz currznt demand for housin� and improvements overa(t in the communities: PED requests that the statutz bz revised to aliow municipalities to acquire property unsold at auction for $] pfus fees or at some reduced amount. Property which has not sold at auction wilf remain vacant and blightin� and offthe taY rolts. Providin� the oppommity for municipalities to acquice these at minimum price will save the couniy maintenance costs and wiil allow the municipalities to apply available money to dzvelopment of the properties. PED requzsts that the statutz be revised to require the County to provide notice to municipa(ities, prioc to auction, of any pcopzrciz; which have become taY forfeit due to quit ctaim deed from owner or by defaulc under confession of judgement or under any circumstances so that they may acquire these propeRies prior to auction at the appraised value or, in tar�etzd areas, for Si ptus fzes. PED requests that the Statute be rewritten to c(euly allow acquisition by a municipatity of any property in a targeted area for $ l. At this time, the city and county differ in this interpretation and the county is of the opinion that only residential property may bz acquired for $ i �chile the city believes any property in a tar�eted arza may bz acquired for $1 re�ardless of zoning ciassification. PED requests that the statute be rewritten to allow revision of homestead or non-homestead classification when dzlinquent taees exist. Currently, the classification is not revised aftzr there aze delinquent taYes, even when the structure is demolished which len�thens unfaidy, 2he period of time before the propecty goes tax forfeit. In a stron� economy such as currently exists, it seems to be in the best intetests of the citizzns to shoRen the time period leadin� to tax forfeiture in all circumstances for those properties that are vacant land or vacant buitdin�s because they represent a bli�ht in the nei�hborhoods. PED requests a chan�e in statutz to reduce the amount of time an owner has to pay delinquent taxes. (I) ti�`e would r2commend that vacant buildings or vacant land tivith detinquznt taxes forfeit in one year uith a possible hardship extension by the o�vner of up to six months. Belinquent tares on vacant land or vacant buildines should be paid in full as they represent the �rzat2st blight in the nei�hborhood and do not represent a Ioss of home or business to the o�vner and MaryHelen Mische - taxforf.legis.wpd p 00 -3q which resold, may provide an opportunity for redevelopment. (2) �Ve would recommend allowing a homeowner a period of 2-3 yeazs for payment of delinquent taxes and r,iay include situations whzre a business or home is occupied by tenants. In the event a payment plan is worked out with the owner, tive sug�est that monthly payments be made rather than annual payments which would better (and sooner) reflect the ability or inability to pay off the debt. If the owner is in default in the payment plan, there should be no other opportunity to repurchase or he repurehase may only occur by payment in full. 00-39 CITY OF SAINT PAUL 2000 LEGISLATIVE POLICY PROPOSALS Title: Residential Rental Bond Modification DepartmenUOffice: Saint Paul Planning and Economic Development StaffContact: Allen Carlson Phone: 651-266-6616 L Eap{ain this propasal The City of Saint Paul has lofty and ambitious p3ans for new housing in the upcoming years. In order to realize those goals, certain statutory changes will significantly enhance the City's ability to financiaily meet its housing costs. Those modifications include a language change in current statute which would exempt the City of Saint Paul from the requirement of at least 75% of new units having two or more bedrooms, and at least on-third of the 75% having three bedrooms or more when using Residential Renal Bonds for financing construction. II. What are advantages of this proposal This change is beneficial to the City because current statute prohibits the use of ta�c exempts bonds for new construction for senior housing developments which naturally need only one or two bedrooms. Saint Paul has a growing need for senior housing, and currently has no financing tool to fill that important need. Using tax exempt bonds for new construction is beneficial because senior citizens can remain in their current nei�hborhood and it wiil free up single family housing for first-time buyers. The current statutes also limits Saint Paul's ability to use tax exempt bonds for new construction to undertake major revitalization efforts in the downtown in order to create a viable and active downtown. Modifying the statute to meet Saint Paul's needs will go a tong way to facilitate the process oFmeeting the housing goals. III. Identify known support City of Minneapolis IV.

Residential Rental Bonds; Limitations. 474A.047. Sub 1.(bl: which states "The proposed project is a multifamily project where at least 7� percent of the units have hvo or more bedrooms and crt least one-third of the 7� percent have three or more bedrooms". I Fvoutd like to add the following tanguage to this requirement, "except the Cities of Minneapolis and Saint Paut in ivhich case no bedroom threshotds are required'. If this lan�uage is too broad the following more restrictive 1an�ua�e could be added, ' for proposed projects ir� neighborhoods targeted for revitalizatlon". The original statute applies only to new construction projects. The purpose of the bedroom requirement is to foster the development of lazge affordable family units which are always in great demand in the suburbs and Saint Paul's neighborhoods. The reason the City should propose the change is because the cunent statute prohibits us from using tax exempt bonds for new construction for senior housing developments which naturally only need one or rivo bedroom units. Unlike the suburbs, Saint Paul has a gro�ving need for senior housing. Since we have no financin� tools to create senior housin� many of the projects that are being developed are being built in the suburbs were land is cheap. Allowing Saint Paul to use tax exempt bonds for new construction senior housing is beneficial because senior citizens can stay in there current neighborhood and it will free up sin�le family housin� for first time buyers. The sin�le family housing being freed up usually has three ptus bedrQOms, therefore by building more senior housing the Ciry can kill rivo birds with onz stone (i.e. meet housin� needs for large families and senior citizens). 00-3� The current statutes also limits our ability to use tax exempt bonds for new construction to undertake major revitalization efforts in the downtoFVCt azea where three bedroom units are neither in demand or appropriate. �Ve need to create housin� in the downtown in order to create a viable active downtown. The market study we recently commissioned from Maxfield indicated need for housing units is for efficiencies, one bedrooms and some t�vo bedrooms.

It is estimated that on 17% of commuter trips to downtown Saint Paul aze by options other than single occupancy vehicles; only 11-12% are by bus. This proposal requests $10 miliion from the state of Minnesota as a grarn to the city of Saint Paul to be used to leverage and augment the many good transit programs that already exist, with the goal of doubling bus ridership to and from Saint Paul's downtown. This "Ride the Bus" campaign would integrate all the existing good efforts into a cohesive plan. The Metropolitan Council Metropolitan Transit has made a significant commitment to improve bus ridership to downtown Saint Paul. Combining efforts with Saint Paul's plan would increase the potential for a successful campaign. II. What nre advantages of this proposal Traffic congestion is a growing problem in Saint Paui as it is in all metropolitan areas. Incteasing bus ridership has manifold benefits such as decreasing traffic congestion, auto-emission pollution, parking problems and wili also increase pedestrian safety. III.

The timina may be ideal for forwarding East Metro transit initiatives, since so much of the effons in Metro West will be focuscd on the Hiawatha LRT line. VJe are recommending iha[ [he City ask the 2000 Leo slamre for $8 co $10 million for new hardware, seivices, and promotions. Goals To double (or triple) transit used by downtown employees. Current transic use to downtown is so iow (17% for commuters) that a 100% to 200% increase would be reiatively e�,sy. In fact, only I1 �Ic to 1290 use buses, the rest come via vanpools or carpools. To vasdy improve the effciency of bus service in the Metro East area. Metro Transit will be initiating a new servicc delivcry system plan nex[ year. We have been involved in the plannino and aze very encouraged by their new approaches to bus rou[Sngs. To integrafe the current variety of transit improvement projects currenfly undetway. ExistinQ Initiatives: 1_ Sector improvements. The Metropolitan Council Metropolitan Transit office is making a major commitment to improvc ridcrship to downtown Saint Paul. Their plan, being reledsed this month, si�,nificantly improves bus service for the northem half of the city, for minimal cost increases. They plan to implement the new service next year. 2. Commuter Action Team. The C.A.T. that you initiated two years ago has already been o �anir.ing efforts to increase transit use downtown and heIp minimize the need for �dclitional {publicly assisted) parking facilities. Tn addi[ion, the C.A.T. has coordinated the efforts of the Trsnsponaaon Management Organization, Metro Transit, State and City with regazd to transt use downtnwn. 3. Tr�insportation iVlanagement Organization. The TMO, initiated by you and supported through the Chamber of Commerce, is pursuing coordination among major empfoyers. The use of the Metro Pass pro�ram (now employed by the City and County} is a direct result of the efforts of the TMO. They aze vesy interestecl in transit funding issues. 4.

This p(an outlines s varicty of transit projects for implementdtion including: increasing desi�ated vanpoo3 parking spaees, increacing numbers of bicycle lockers and bike racks on buses, use of smaller buses within neighUorhoods, incmased marketing to move the occasionat bus rider to regular ridership, improvemen� of security at major stops and on buses, seiccdve revers�commuie services fot transit-dependent populations, and focused surveys to �scert�in transit needs within specific corridors. 6. Remote Parking i.ot Acquisition/Development lnitiative. PED's remote parking lot initiative requires acquisirion of sites within reasonable shuttle distance of downtown. 7. 1?owntown Cireulator. A service like the shuggling Capitol City Trolley couid stiil be useful in downtown. Tt would need morc buses and si�nage as weJl as adequate marketing. These vehicles could aIso be used as shuttles to remote lots, perhsps without subsidiZed fundin�. 8. Expansion of the Mecso Pass Program. Are thcre ways to further encour�;e bus;nesses to participate? 9. Inteiligent TransporYation System (1TS) Transit Applicat;ans. Minnesota conrinues to capture a hi�h proportion of federal ITS research and pilot procram dollars. l�icw progzams may include: a coded bus stop system that allows a rider to call a central number, input the number of the stop and be told when che next bus will arrive; and `�e�il time" information at major bus stops that tracks the time of approaching buses. 10. 1ZiverCenYre Area Traffic(Parking IniGative. With a consultani, this initiative will begSn in eazly 2000 with a focus on making major event access as easy as possible regardless of whether one comes by bus, caz or on foot. Key stakeholders in the Ricc Park area will be meeting over the next nine months to iron out the details. 11. Corridor Tcansit Improvements. We should be seeking major uansit improvements in comdors regardiess o€ LRT improvements. Key transit conidors include: Rivervicw, Central, Phalen and Roberc Street. Possible New Initiatives: Bus Service Upgrades. This would include more frequent service, strategic rouang reazsignments, addiuonal buses.

This might inciude using a universal debit card that eouid be used for parking ramps and che bus. Since most bus riders drive pazt of the time, [hi; might be very attractive to commuters downtown. Vastiy Improved Marketing and Promotions. There is a stigma about ridin; the buses. Greater cleanliness and security can alleviate much of the negative notions. In addition, spccia! pzomotions (e.g., free bus use for the month of December used in Madison) can be very use:ci. Preferential Treatment for Buses. There are many possibilicies to consides for giv'sng preference to the buses in traffic: e.g., Develop more HOV freeway ramp enm�ces; more cxtensively use the Geeway shouiders for cxclusive busways; enforce(improve ihe bus lanes downtown tluough �re�ter enforcement of parking bans; ban righi turns in front of buses; use the opticom signal system to give "preference" to buses (not `�riority"). Approach: The Mayor could take the lead in advocating for increased transit use as benefitting the downtown economy, rcducing workcr stress, improving air quality (particularly downtown) and promoting a "rransi[-first" approach to transportation downtown. 0 0 0 0 � Facus Ask $3 to �IO million from the Legisiature for new buses, bus stop improvements, rider incentivcs, mazkcting and promouons.

II. What are advantnges of this proposal Prosecuting public nuisances is a very expensive undertaking for local units of government. By making it possible for prosecuting attorneys to recover costs and fees two benefits will be realized for cities: First, the expensive costs of prosecuting scoff laws will be eliminated or reduced; second, the potential burden of having to pay additional lawyers fees and costs will act as an added inducement for the public nuisance to comply with the abatement order.

Administrative staff is cuttently housed in non-ADA accessible trailers without running water, while education staff offices are located above the boiler room accessed only by a wooden staircase. Tropical Encounter animais are housed in a basement area and are not permanently on view. To mitigate this critical shortage of space, a new Education Resource Center is proposed that will house public functions-classrooms, lunchroom, auditorium and other public spaces. Other non- pubiic functions, inciuding administration, will be housed in less expensive quarters. II. What are advantages of this proposai The new Resource Center will fill the growing need of environmental education now required as part of the curriculum of many K-12 schools. The project will also help preserve existing assets, link facilities and staffs, and provide learning experiences for visitors from throughout the state. Will bring the Zoo and Conservatory up to ADA standards for staff and visitors.

Explain this proposal $10 miilion is requested to continue work on the Phalen Corridor Initiative, in particular Phalen Boulevard construction. Phalen Boulevard generally runs along an active rail corridor on Saint Paul's East Side from Interstate E(I-35E) to Johnson Parkway. These dollars would be used to fill the financing gap to construct the west segment of Phalen Boulevazd from 35E to Payne Avenue. This segment will connect the Stroh's site to a new roadway. The overall cost to construct Phalen Boulevazd is $48 million. II. What are advantages of this proposal The Phalen Comdor Initiative fits in well with the newly popu]ar concept of "Smart Crrowth" and strategies that incorporate putting jobs into the urban core to reduce the dependency on automobile travel. The Phalen Corridor would put jobs in the city where employees could ride the bus or even waik to work. This project is estimated to produce up to 2,000 livable wage jobs and will heip to retain 4,000 jobs in the Corridor area. It is also expected that the 100 acres of underutilized brownfield area will be accessed for redevelopment when the Initiative is completed. III.

(Areas such as this are commonly referred to as brownfields.) Through this effort, approximately 58 acres will be redeveloped into productive industrial use. The use ofthe $2.371 million proposed in this fundin� request will be for construction ofnew roads in the redevelopment area. Providing these new roadways will establish important links between the site and the existing Saint Paul roadways. II. What are advantages of this proposnl Maxson and the Dale Street Shops area are the biggest and most important industrial redevelopment sites in Saint Paul. These sites are along a redevelopment conidor in areas ofthe city that are most in need of reinvestment. This project holds the potential for good paying, living-wage jobs for Saint Paul residents and plays a key role in the overall redevelopment of these corridors. This development would also provide for an expansion of Saint Paul's tax base that wili ea-tend beyond the boundaries of the actual property of the projects. This project aiso fits in well with the ever-growing popular notion of"Smart Growth." III.

Expiain this proposal $13.5 million for phase one of a project to relocate and extend Pierce Butler in Saint Paul's Frogtown azea from Grotto Street to Arundel Street. Of this amount, $3 mi(lion is for right of way purchase. II. What are advantages of this proposal Completion of this project will allow for the expansion of the West Minnehaha Recreation Center, along with the construction of an Achievement Plus School and the National Guard Armory. It would also ailow improved access to an important industrial site known as the Burtina on Northern Dale Street Shops. This pro}ect is very important to the Fro�town area because the Frogtown Achievement Plus' preferred location is at the comer of Minnehaha and Dale Streets. In order to access that preferred site, Pierce Butler should be rerouted. Creating the Frogtown Achievement Plus is important to this area as it has one of the hi�hest child-per-block ratios in the state. III.

Explain this proposal Highway 5 from the MinneapolislSaint Paul Airport is the first point of entry into Minnesota's Capital City for many visitor from around the country and the world. The current presence of the highway is relatively unattractive, and does not create a positive image for visitor or citizen alike. This proposal includes $1 million for native landscaping along T.H. 5 from the Airport to the Fort Snelling Tunnel, historic lighting and railing on both the T.H. 5 bridge over the Mississippi River and the West Seventh Bridge over I-35E, and historic lighting and improved landscaping on West Seventh Street from the Mississippi River to I-35E. II. What are advantages of this proposal Over 30,000 vehicies per day use this segment of West Seventh Street as a direct connection between I-35E and T.H. 5. A more decorative route would not only provide these commuters and visitors with a positive and attractive image of Saint Paul, but would also calm the traffic as a result of the scenic nature of the route.

Explain this proposal Pig's Eye Dump, which opened in 1956 and closed in 1972, located in Saint Paul is by faz the largest unremediated dump in the state ofMinnesota. At approximately 325 acres, it is over three times larger than the second largest dump, and approximately ten times larger than the third lazgest dump. The City of Saint Paul wants to clean-up the dump, and has prepared a Remedial Action Plan with a cost of approximately $8 million. It is expected that these clean-up doilars will come from the existing bonding authority of the Minnesota Pollution Control Agencies' Closed Landfill Clean-up Program. II. What are advantages of this proposal Pig's Eye Dump in (ocated on a flood plain near Pig's Eye Lake on the banks of the Mississippi River. This area is home to one of the ]argest nesting rookeries for Egrets and Herons in the state. Cleaning up Pig's Eye Dump will serve the citizens of Saint Paui, wildlife living on the site, and both wildlife and people living downstream by providing a cleaner and safer environment. III. Identify known support City of Saint Paui, Minnesota Chamber of Commerce, various state-wide and national environmental groups, various local businesses IV. Identify known opposition to this proposal Minnesota Pollution Control Agency Oo-3� EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Irctroductian This Remedial Action Plan (RAP) was prepazed on behalf of the City of Saint Paul fo be a scoping document, outlining the selected remedial alternative for the Pig's Eye Landfill in Saint Paul, Minnesota. It presents a compilation of historical data and investigations, a conceptual hydrogeologic modei, a screening ecological risk assessment and an evaluation of remedial altematives. A draft RAP was prepazed and submitted to the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (NII'CA) in February 1999. The February 1999 RAl' was based on a preliminary plan for the Site developed by the MI'CA. Upon review of the draft the MPCA requested that a more detailed evaluation of remedial altematives be conducted in the RAP. The Site is currently managed by the MI'CA under its Site Response Section. The City of Saint Paul is considering peritioning the MPCA to transfer the Site into its Voluntary Investigation and Cleanup (VIC) program. In light of this potential, this RAP was prepared according to the applicable VIC guidance. Data Summaru A LimiEed Remedial Investigation for the Site was completed in 1444. From 1994 through 1996 the MPCA conducted supplementary investigations. These included additional soil and sediment sampling in the Battery Disposal Area (identified as a source area in the LRI) and a cover thickness investigation. In 1998 and 1999, the MPCA and CRA collected additional surface water and landfill seep samples. The availabie data from these investigations has been compiled into a comprehensive database in this repott. The investigations identified impacts from a variety of chemicals including metals, volatile organic compounds, semi-volatile orgazuc compounds and some limited pesticides and PCBs. Concepta�al HudreQeologic Model The base of the waste in the landfill corresponds to the normal elecation of the Mississippi River and Pig's Eye Lake, which is approximately 687 feet AMSL. The top of the waste is at an average elevafion of appLOximately 701 feet. Ln response to precipitation, the groundH�ater mound has Eormed in the northern and southem porrions of the landfill. The water table within the waste reaches an eleva[ion of approximately 692 feet, under normal conditions such that roughly 30 percent of the u886 (i� 1 GONESTOGA-ROVERS $ ASSOCIATES 00-39 waste materiai is saturated. Groundwater within the waste flows downwazd and out ward into the underiying alluvial aquifer and into Battle Creek, and Pig's Eye L.ake. Beneath the waste in the southem portion of the landfill is a sequence of organic ciay and peat materials. Seeps aze infrequent and typically small suggesting that a significant amount of groundwater flows downward beneath the landfill. The major exception is the pond in the southeast portion of the landfill that is essentially a lazge seep that has filled a depression in the landfill surface. During normal river level conditions this pond flo�vs into Pig's Eye I.ake. The landfill is subject to zegular flooding due to its location in the flood plain of the Mississippi River. During a typical spring flood the normal flow of water out of the landfill is reversed and river water flows into the waste materials along the mazgins of the landfill. This condiiion has occurred an average of 67 days per year since the landfill closed in 1972. The 10-yeaz flood level is 699 feet, which is above a majority of the waste in the landfill. There have been nine 10-year flood events since 1950. the river rises above the high water table elevations withict the center of the landfill. During extreme flooding events nearly the enHre landfill is submerged. Thee have been four 50-yeaz flood events since 1950. Screening Ecolo�ical Risk AssessmenE The screening ecological risk assessment evaluated surface water, sediment, soil and groundwater. The surface water data suggested little real potential risk. The sediment sampling data showed low to intermediate risk over most of the Site. Risk from sediment to benthic organisms was found likely in the Battery Disposal Area in the south east area of the Site. Soil data indicated levels of lead and cadmium above the benchmarks for some areas of the Site. This evidence is corroborated by stressed vegetation in these areas. The shallow groundwater within the landfill e�ibited exceedences of ambient water qualiEy criteria, however, the deep wells along the Pig's Eye Lake boundary landfill e�ibited low concentrations that would not pose a risk to Pig's Eye Lake. Review of Remedial Alternatives Seven Areas of Concem were identified for the Site, including: • Battle Creek; • Battery Disposal Area and Southeast Pond; • Exposed Drum Area; ta886 p) ll CONESTOGA-ROVERS E� ASSOCIATES 00 -31 • Shallow Groundwater Dischazge to Pig's Eye Lake; • I.andfill Cover; • Southwest Pond; and • Railroad Ditch Various remedial alternatives were developed joindy by the City of Saint Paul and MI'CA for these Areas of Concern to evaluate the appropriate Site-wide remedy. These altematives were evaluated based upon effectiveness, implementabIlity, and cost. Considerations were also made in terms of the relationships between the potentially selected altematives between the various Areas of Concem. Selection o the Proposed Remedu Based upon the altematives evaluation, the proposed remedy for the Pig's Eye Landfill Site wIll consist of the following components: • StabilizaHon of the existing stream banks of BatHe Creek through the landfill and reroute of the lower portion of the creek away from the landfffl face; • Excavation (and possible stabilization) of the Battery Disposal Area soils unpacted by lead, and on-Site disposal beneath the landfill cover at an upland location of the Site; ' • Filling of the SoutheasE Pond with general fill and organic soil, followed by high density planting of trees to provide groundwater uptake; • On-Site management of exposed druzns contauung solid wastes and off-Site disposal of exposed drums containing liquid wastes; • The stabilization of the landfill cover along Pig's Eye Lake and the former lower teach of Batfle Cxeek to pcovide adequate slopes to prevent landfill seepage to surface water from occurring and to provide erosion protection; • Selective planting of trees along the peTimeter of the landfill adjacent to the Railroad Ditch, Pia s Eye Lake, Battle Creek, and in select areas of' the Site to address groundwater mounding; • Augmentation of the existing landfill cover with permeable soils to a minimum thiclmess of 2 feet and vegetated with grasses; • Filling of the Southwest Pond to an elevation as to prevent further ponding (subject to additional investigation); • Stabilization of the landfill slopes adjacent to the Railroad Ditch; and taae6 (t� lll CONESTOGA-ROVERS & ASSOqATES 00 - 3q • Provide necessary operation and maintenance of the iznplemented remedial components. EstimaEed Resyonse Action Costs Based upon the proposed remedy for the Pig's Eye Landfill the total estimated capital cost will be $7,949,000 with an estimated annual operation and maintenance cost of $63,000 per year. The estimated Present Worth, based upon 30 years and a 5 percent discount rate, is $8,917,000. Proposed Pre-Design InvesEigations A number of Pre-Design Investigations are proposed to be conducted prior to proceeding with final design. These Pre-Design Investigations aze necessary to provide adequate detailed Site information in order to develop and design the Site-wide remedy. Project Schedule The completion of the Final Desia for the remedy will be contingent upon obtaining adequate financial resources to fund the project. The City of Saint Paul is ciurenfly pursuing attauung such funding and is expecting to receive assistance from MI'CA in ordei to complete the response action. taee6(1) 1V CONESTOGA-ROVEflS $ ASSOCIATES oo-3g O o - 3g �Y 1 i aa � rs¢n.� ..,c" a v? --_—_- r � ,, .� a � :. \ i Ail ` ; c � --- - - .-�'..'�`.,- ;� - `` � f ''�- - :✓ �� x ° \ _ ,, _°�.. _ � � .,�; ,' ,, -, . �� - � ,, � , � �_Y � , �� r -�. --- y , i . � e i i' r�54 }iafche7 - � ��y � �� . � � \' I - _ oo � t € { � '. � � + � - \ - �� ,, ��' ' �_- ...� - _� �� ' �'1 -'.`" -�7,[lrytl�p•� � 1� —J --� l �- � T ' .r ` ''\ �^ }�y. � .� �-� 1 �i, �—�� c � . . _ �\� �� . -� i. �-,\ �.�a . �va ` � �:��\ '" ��, �1\ ' �� ,� ` > o �� i�� _�� ' ,./_ Q � ti �j\ �==.:- -� p 3, �, � r _ � ' Rr��- �b a' - " ___ � �a� �„�� N � :� � �/� i m'�l r ) � � �• " � ' _ .�`� Y � I o C �� G \�O � X �� \�\��` i �\ � � p �� i'' } ° �� 1. ! �� --_ � 1 _ ` PiG'S El'E �, �`� �` ` �, LANDFlLL ~ _ - _ �' � , �, � ; ,� n - - - _ _ .�� . � � � � � _ ,, ;., , �. �_ _ _= _ � d __ _ . __ �, . o � _ � � �, � �� :�—� u :�� -�. _ _ �(��.� � t a I � \ Q � � ° - i �� : j ;} •� �t � l� � a ` � °____ _, %�;�_ e �-- — u;; _ � -- a �q � '�•�( �� \ ii ' .' - ^ �� '; � �I '.

Eapfain this proposal Current law does not allow local units ofgovernment to recover attorneys fees when prosecuting public nuisances. This proposal provides for the award of costs and attorneys fee to the prosecuting attorney if the recipient of an abatement order fails to comply in a specified period of time, and prosecution to enforce the order is required. II. What are advantages of this proposal Prosecuting public nuisances is a very expensive undertaking for local units of government, By making it possible for prosecuting attorneys to recover costs and fees two benefits wili be realized for cities: First, the expensive costs of Qrosecuting scoff laws will be eliminated or reduced; second, the potential burden of having to pay additional lawyers fees and costs will act as an added inducement for the public nuisance to comply with the abatement order.

BE TI' ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF "I'HE STATE OF MINNESOTA: Section 1. ivLnnesota Statutes 1998, section 617.82, is amended to read: 617.82. Agreed abatement plans; temporary order. (a) If the recipient of a notice under section 617.81, subdivision 4, either abates the conduct constituting the nuisance or enters into an agreed abatement plan within 30 days of service ofthe notice and compties with the agreement within the stipulated time period, the prosecuting attorney may not file a nuisance action on the specified property regarding the nuisance activity described in the notice and the court shall not award attorney fees and costs to such nrosecutine attorney. (b) If the recipient fails to compiy with the agreed abatement plan, the prosecuting attorney may initiate a compiaint for relief in the district court consistent with paragraph (c) and shall be awarded costs and attomey fees if the court issues a temporarv injunction under section 617 82 subdivision (cl a permanent injunction under section 617.83. or an order of abatement under sections 617.83 or 617.84. (c) Whenever a prosecuting attorney has cause to believe that a nuisance described in section 617.81, subdivision 2, e�cists within the jurisdiction the attorney serves, the prosecuting attorney may by verified petition seek a temporary injunction in district court in the county in which the alleged pubiic nuisance exists, provided that at least 30 days have expired since service of the notice required under section 617.81, subdivision 4. No temporary injunction may be 00 -3°l issued without a prior show cause notice of hearing to the respondents named in the petition and an opportunity for the respondents to be heard.

Amending cunent law in ivfinnesota Statute Chapter 282 will provide municipalities with more useful tools in ensuring that tax forfeited land is returned to ta�c rolls andlor to proper use as soon as possible. The proposed amendments include: • Allowing municipalities to acquire property unsold at auction for $1 plus fees, or at reduced cost. • Require that the County provide notice to municipalities, prior to auction, of any ta3c forfeit properties due to quit claim deed so that these properties can be purchased prior to auction at the appraised value or at a reduced cost. • Allow acquisition of any property in a targeted area for $1. • Allow revision of homestead or non-homestead classification when delinquent taxes exist. This would, in effect, shorten the time to when a tax forfeited property is acquired so that vacant property is put to good use. • Revise the statute to reduce the amount of time a property owner has to pay delinquent taxes to one year with a provision for a six month hardship e�ctension. VII. W hat are advantages of this proposal This legislation wouid accelerate the process by which ta�c-forfeited land is acquired by municipalities. The shorter the time period vacant land and property remain unused, the greater the reductiott of blight in a given area. Changes to current law would make it possible for vacant land to retum to the tas rolls thereby eliminating the burden of blight in cities. VIII.

Minnesota Statute Chapter 282 provides the procedure for the County to manage tax-forfeited land. Recently, the process was revised to rzquire municipatitizs to respond to the County within 60 days ([his is a rzduction in time from 90 days) as to which properties they are interested in. Further, the time period that the propeRy will be hefd from sale has been reduced to six months (formerly one year). PED concurs �vith the County's efforts to return the properties to the ta�c rolls faster and would propose additionaf Iz�islation be enac[zd to meet thz currznt demand for housin� and improvements overa(t in the communities: PED requests that the statutz bz revised to aliow municipalities to acquire property unsold at auction for $] pfus fees or at some reduced amount. Property which has not sold at auction wilf remain vacant and blightin� and offthe taY rolts. Providin� the oppommity for municipalities to acquice these at minimum price will save the couniy maintenance costs and wiil allow the municipalities to apply available money to dzvelopment of the properties. PED requzsts that the statutz be revised to require the County to provide notice to municipa(ities, prioc to auction, of any pcopzrciz; which have become taY forfeit due to quit ctaim deed from owner or by defaulc under confession of judgement or under any circumstances so that they may acquire these propeRies prior to auction at the appraised value or, in tar�etzd areas, for Si ptus fzes. PED requests that the Statute be rewritten to c(euly allow acquisition by a municipatity of any property in a targeted area for $ l. At this time, the city and county differ in this interpretation and the county is of the opinion that only residential property may bz acquired for $ i �chile the city believes any property in a tar�eted arza may bz acquired for $1 re�ardless of zoning ciassification. PED requests that the statute be rewritten to allow revision of homestead or non-homestead classification when dzlinquent taees exist. Currently, the classification is not revised aftzr there aze delinquent taYes, even when the structure is demolished which len�thens unfaidy, 2he period of time before the propecty goes tax forfeit. In a stron� economy such as currently exists, it seems to be in the best intetests of the citizzns to shoRen the time period leadin� to tax forfeiture in all circumstances for those properties that are vacant land or vacant buitdin�s because they represent a bli�ht in the nei�hborhoods. PED requests a chan�e in statutz to reduce the amount of time an owner has to pay delinquent taxes. (I) ti�`e would r2commend that vacant buildings or vacant land tivith detinquznt taxes forfeit in one year uith a possible hardship extension by the o�vner of up to six months. Belinquent tares on vacant land or vacant buildines should be paid in full as they represent the �rzat2st blight in the nei�hborhood and do not represent a Ioss of home or business to the o�vner and MaryHelen Mische - taxforf.legis.wpd p 00 -3q which resold, may provide an opportunity for redevelopment. (2) �Ve would recommend allowing a homeowner a period of 2-3 yeazs for payment of delinquent taxes and r,iay include situations whzre a business or home is occupied by tenants. In the event a payment plan is worked out with the owner, tive sug�est that monthly payments be made rather than annual payments which would better (and sooner) reflect the ability or inability to pay off the debt. If the owner is in default in the payment plan, there should be no other opportunity to repurchase or he repurehase may only occur by payment in full. 00-39 CITY OF SAINT PAUL 2000 LEGISLATIVE POLICY PROPOSALS Title: Residential Rental Bond Modification DepartmenUOffice: Saint Paul Planning and Economic Development StaffContact: Allen Carlson Phone: 651-266-6616 L Eap{ain this propasal The City of Saint Paul has lofty and ambitious p3ans for new housing in the upcoming years. In order to realize those goals, certain statutory changes will significantly enhance the City's ability to financiaily meet its housing costs. Those modifications include a language change in current statute which would exempt the City of Saint Paul from the requirement of at least 75% of new units having two or more bedrooms, and at least on-third of the 75% having three bedrooms or more when using Residential Renal Bonds for financing construction. II. What are advantages of this proposal This change is beneficial to the City because current statute prohibits the use of ta�c exempts bonds for new construction for senior housing developments which naturally need only one or two bedrooms. Saint Paul has a growing need for senior housing, and currently has no financing tool to fill that important need. Using tax exempt bonds for new construction is beneficial because senior citizens can remain in their current nei�hborhood and it wiil free up single family housing for first-time buyers. The current statutes also limits Saint Paul's ability to use tax exempt bonds for new construction to undertake major revitalization efforts in the downtown in order to create a viable and active downtown. Modifying the statute to meet Saint Paul's needs will go a tong way to facilitate the process oFmeeting the housing goals. III. Identify known support City of Minneapolis IV.

Residential Rental Bonds; Limitations. 474A.047. Sub 1.(bl: which states "The proposed project is a multifamily project where at least 7� percent of the units have hvo or more bedrooms and crt least one-third of the 7� percent have three or more bedrooms". I Fvoutd like to add the following tanguage to this requirement, "except the Cities of Minneapolis and Saint Paut in ivhich case no bedroom threshotds are required'. If this lan�uage is too broad the following more restrictive 1an�ua�e could be added, ' for proposed projects ir� neighborhoods targeted for revitalizatlon". The original statute applies only to new construction projects. The purpose of the bedroom requirement is to foster the development of lazge affordable family units which are always in great demand in the suburbs and Saint Paul's neighborhoods. The reason the City should propose the change is because the cunent statute prohibits us from using tax exempt bonds for new construction for senior housing developments which naturally only need one or rivo bedroom units. Unlike the suburbs, Saint Paul has a gro�ving need for senior housing. Since we have no financin� tools to create senior housin� many of the projects that are being developed are being built in the suburbs were land is cheap. Allowing Saint Paul to use tax exempt bonds for new construction senior housing is beneficial because senior citizens can stay in there current neighborhood and it will free up sin�le family housin� for first time buyers. The sin�le family housing being freed up usually has three ptus bedrQOms, therefore by building more senior housing the Ciry can kill rivo birds with onz stone (i.e. meet housin� needs for large families and senior citizens). 00-3� The current statutes also limits our ability to use tax exempt bonds for new construction to undertake major revitalization efforts in the downtoFVCt azea where three bedroom units are neither in demand or appropriate. �Ve need to create housin� in the downtown in order to create a viable active downtown. The market study we recently commissioned from Maxfield indicated need for housing units is for efficiencies, one bedrooms and some t�vo bedrooms.

It is estimated that on 17% of commuter trips to downtown Saint Paul aze by options other than single occupancy vehicles; only 11-12% are by bus. This proposal requests $10 miliion from the state of Minnesota as a grarn to the city of Saint Paul to be used to leverage and augment the many good transit programs that already exist, with the goal of doubling bus ridership to and from Saint Paul's downtown. This "Ride the Bus" campaign would integrate all the existing good efforts into a cohesive plan. The Metropolitan Council Metropolitan Transit has made a significant commitment to improve bus ridership to downtown Saint Paul. Combining efforts with Saint Paul's plan would increase the potential for a successful campaign. II. What nre advantages of this proposal Traffic congestion is a growing problem in Saint Paui as it is in all metropolitan areas. Incteasing bus ridership has manifold benefits such as decreasing traffic congestion, auto-emission pollution, parking problems and wili also increase pedestrian safety. III.

The timina may be ideal for forwarding East Metro transit initiatives, since so much of the effons in Metro West will be focuscd on the Hiawatha LRT line. VJe are recommending iha[ [he City ask the 2000 Leo slamre for $8 co $10 million for new hardware, seivices, and promotions. Goals To double (or triple) transit used by downtown employees. Current transic use to downtown is so iow (17% for commuters) that a 100% to 200% increase would be reiatively e�,sy. In fact, only I1 �Ic to 1290 use buses, the rest come via vanpools or carpools. To vasdy improve the effciency of bus service in the Metro East area. Metro Transit will be initiating a new servicc delivcry system plan nex[ year. We have been involved in the plannino and aze very encouraged by their new approaches to bus rou[Sngs. To integrafe the current variety of transit improvement projects currenfly undetway. ExistinQ Initiatives: 1_ Sector improvements. The Metropolitan Council Metropolitan Transit office is making a major commitment to improvc ridcrship to downtown Saint Paul. Their plan, being reledsed this month, si�,nificantly improves bus service for the northem half of the city, for minimal cost increases. They plan to implement the new service next year. 2. Commuter Action Team. The C.A.T. that you initiated two years ago has already been o �anir.ing efforts to increase transit use downtown and heIp minimize the need for �dclitional {publicly assisted) parking facilities. Tn addi[ion, the C.A.T. has coordinated the efforts of the Trsnsponaaon Management Organization, Metro Transit, State and City with regazd to transt use downtnwn. 3. Tr�insportation iVlanagement Organization. The TMO, initiated by you and supported through the Chamber of Commerce, is pursuing coordination among major empfoyers. The use of the Metro Pass pro�ram (now employed by the City and County} is a direct result of the efforts of the TMO. They aze vesy interestecl in transit funding issues. 4.

Workcrs to downtowT Saint Paul from VJoodbury, White Bear Lake, Cottage Grove, Stiltwater, etc. couid also benefit from such service. 5. Saint Paul Transportation Policy Plan. This p(an outlines s varicty of transit projects for implementdtion including: increasing desi�ated vanpoo3 parking spaees, increacing numbers of bicycle lockers and bike racks on buses, use of smaller buses within neighUorhoods, incmased marketing to move the occasionat bus rider to regular ridership, improvemen� of security at major stops and on buses, seiccdve revers�commuie services fot transit-dependent populations, and focused surveys to �scert�in transit needs within specific corridors. 6. Remote Parking i.ot Acquisition/Development lnitiative. PED's remote parking lot initiative requires acquisirion of sites within reasonable shuttle distance of downtown. 7. 1?owntown Cireulator. A service like the shuggling Capitol City Trolley couid stiil be useful in downtown. Tt would need morc buses and si�nage as weJl as adequate marketing. These vehicles could aIso be used as shuttles to remote lots, perhsps without subsidiZed fundin�. 8. Expansion of the Mecso Pass Program. Are thcre ways to further encour�;e bus;nesses to participate? 9. Inteiligent TransporYation System (1TS) Transit Applicat;ans. Minnesota conrinues to capture a hi�h proportion of federal ITS research and pilot procram dollars. l�icw progzams may include: a coded bus stop system that allows a rider to call a central number, input the number of the stop and be told when che next bus will arrive; and `�e�il time" information at major bus stops that tracks the time of approaching buses. 10. 1ZiverCenYre Area Traffic(Parking IniGative. With a consultani, this initiative will begSn in eazly 2000 with a focus on making major event access as easy as possible regardless of whether one comes by bus, caz or on foot. Key stakeholders in the Ricc Park area will be meeting over the next nine months to iron out the details. 11. Corridor Tcansit Improvements. We should be seeking major uansit improvements in comdors regardiess o€ LRT improvements. Key transit conidors include: Rivervicw, Central, Phalen and Roberc Street. Possible New Initiatives: Bus Service Upgrades. This would include more frequent service, strategic rouang reazsignments, addiuonal buses.

Vastiy Improved Marketing and Promotions. There is a stigma about ridin; the buses. Greater cleanliness and security can alleviate much of the negative notions. In addition, spccia! pzomotions (e.g., free bus use for the month of December used in Madison) can be very use:ci. Preferential Treatment for Buses. There are many possibilicies to consides for giv'sng preference to the buses in traffic: e.g., Develop more HOV freeway ramp enm�ces; more cxtensively use the Geeway shouiders for cxclusive busways; enforce(improve ihe bus lanes downtown tluough �re�ter enforcement of parking bans; ban righi turns in front of buses; use the opticom signal system to give "preference" to buses (not `�riority"). Approach: The Mayor could take the lead in advocating for increased transit use as benefitting the downtown economy, rcducing workcr stress, improving air quality (particularly downtown) and promoting a "rransi[-first" approach to transportation downtown. 0 0 0 0 � Facus Ask $3 to �IO million from the Legisiature for new buses, bus stop improvements, rider incentivcs, mazkcting and promouons.

II. What are advantnges of this proposal Prosecuting public nuisances is a very expensive undertaking for local units of government. By making it possible for prosecuting attorneys to recover costs and fees two benefits will be realized for cities: First, the expensive costs of prosecuting scoff laws will be eliminated or reduced; second, the potential burden of having to pay additional lawyers fees and costs will act as an added inducement for the public nuisance to comply with the abatement order.

Administrative staff is cuttently housed in non-ADA accessible trailers without running water, while education staff offices are located above the boiler room accessed only by a wooden staircase. Tropical Encounter animais are housed in a basement area and are not permanently on view. To mitigate this critical shortage of space, a new Education Resource Center is proposed that will house public functions-classrooms, lunchroom, auditorium and other public spaces. Other non- pubiic functions, inciuding administration, will be housed in less expensive quarters. II. What are advantages of this proposai The new Resource Center will fill the growing need of environmental education now required as part of the curriculum of many K-12 schools. The project will also help preserve existing assets, link facilities and staffs, and provide learning experiences for visitors from throughout the state. Will bring the Zoo and Conservatory up to ADA standards for staff and visitors. It will also provide permanent offices for staff now housed in trailers and other non-ADA facilities, and will provide visitor and staff restrooms. III.

Explain this proposal $10 miilion is requested to continue work on the Phalen Corridor Initiative, in particular Phalen Boulevard construction. Phalen Boulevard generally runs along an active rail corridor on Saint Paul's East Side from Interstate E(I-35E) to Johnson Parkway. These dollars would be used to fill the financing gap to construct the west segment of Phalen Boulevazd from 35E to Payne Avenue. This segment will connect the Stroh's site to a new roadway. The overall cost to construct Phalen Boulevazd is $48 million. II. What are advantages of this proposal The Phalen Comdor Initiative fits in well with the newly popu]ar concept of "Smart Crrowth" and strategies that incorporate putting jobs into the urban core to reduce the dependency on automobile travel. The Phalen Corridor would put jobs in the city where employees could ride the bus or even waik to work. This project is estimated to produce up to 2,000 livable wage jobs and will heip to retain 4,000 jobs in the Corridor area. It is also expected that the 100 acres of underutilized brownfield area will be accessed for redevelopment when the Initiative is completed. III.

(Areas such as this are commonly referred to as brownfields.) Through this effort, approximately 58 acres will be redeveloped into productive industrial use. The use ofthe $2.371 million proposed in this fundin� request will be for construction ofnew roads in the redevelopment area. Providing these new roadways will establish important links between the site and the existing Saint Paul roadways. II. What are advantages of this proposnl Maxson and the Dale Street Shops area are the biggest and most important industrial redevelopment sites in Saint Paul. These sites are along a redevelopment conidor in areas ofthe city that are most in need of reinvestment. This project holds the potential for good paying, living-wage jobs for Saint Paul residents and plays a key role in the overall redevelopment of these corridors. This development would also provide for an expansion of Saint Paul's tax base that wili ea-tend beyond the boundaries of the actual property of the projects. This project aiso fits in well with the ever-growing popular notion of"Smart Growth." III.

Expiain this proposal $13.5 million for phase one of a project to relocate and extend Pierce Butler in Saint Paul's Frogtown azea from Grotto Street to Arundel Street. Of this amount, $3 mi(lion is for right of way purchase. II. What are advantages of this proposal Completion of this project will allow for the expansion of the West Minnehaha Recreation Center, along with the construction of an Achievement Plus School and the National Guard Armory. It would also ailow improved access to an important industrial site known as the Burtina on Northern Dale Street Shops. This pro}ect is very important to the Fro�town area because the Frogtown Achievement Plus' preferred location is at the comer of Minnehaha and Dale Streets. In order to access that preferred site, Pierce Butler should be rerouted. Creating the Frogtown Achievement Plus is important to this area as it has one of the hi�hest child-per-block ratios in the state. III.

Explain this proposal Highway 5 from the MinneapolislSaint Paul Airport is the first point of entry into Minnesota's Capital City for many visitor from around the country and the world. The current presence of the highway is relatively unattractive, and does not create a positive image for visitor or citizen alike. This proposal includes $1 million for native landscaping along T.H. 5 from the Airport to the Fort Snelling Tunnel, historic lighting and railing on both the T.H. 5 bridge over the Mississippi River and the West Seventh Bridge over I-35E, and historic lighting and improved landscaping on West Seventh Street from the Mississippi River to I-35E. II. What are advantages of this proposal Over 30,000 vehicies per day use this segment of West Seventh Street as a direct connection between I-35E and T.H. 5. A more decorative route would not only provide these commuters and visitors with a positive and attractive image of Saint Paul, but would also calm the traffic as a result of the scenic nature of the route.

Explain this proposal Pig's Eye Dump, which opened in 1956 and closed in 1972, located in Saint Paul is by faz the largest unremediated dump in the state ofMinnesota. At approximately 325 acres, it is over three times larger than the second largest dump, and approximately ten times larger than the third lazgest dump. The City of Saint Paul wants to clean-up the dump, and has prepared a Remedial Action Plan with a cost of approximately $8 million. It is expected that these clean-up doilars will come from the existing bonding authority of the Minnesota Pollution Control Agencies' Closed Landfill Clean-up Program. II. What are advantages of this proposal Pig's Eye Dump in (ocated on a flood plain near Pig's Eye Lake on the banks of the Mississippi River. This area is home to one of the ]argest nesting rookeries for Egrets and Herons in the state. Cleaning up Pig's Eye Dump will serve the citizens of Saint Paui, wildlife living on the site, and both wildlife and people living downstream by providing a cleaner and safer environment. III. Identify known support City of Saint Paui, Minnesota Chamber of Commerce, various state-wide and national environmental groups, various local businesses IV. Identify known opposition to this proposal Minnesota Pollution Control Agency Oo-3� EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Irctroductian This Remedial Action Plan (RAP) was prepazed on behalf of the City of Saint Paul fo be a scoping document, outlining the selected remedial alternative for the Pig's Eye Landfill in Saint Paul, Minnesota. It presents a compilation of historical data and investigations, a conceptual hydrogeologic modei, a screening ecological risk assessment and an evaluation of remedial altematives. A draft RAP was prepazed and submitted to the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (NII'CA) in February 1999. The February 1999 RAl' was based on a preliminary plan for the Site developed by the MI'CA. Upon review of the draft the MPCA requested that a more detailed evaluation of remedial altematives be conducted in the RAP. The Site is currently managed by the MI'CA under its Site Response Section. The City of Saint Paul is considering peritioning the MPCA to transfer the Site into its Voluntary Investigation and Cleanup (VIC) program. In light of this potential, this RAP was prepared according to the applicable VIC guidance. Data Summaru A LimiEed Remedial Investigation for the Site was completed in 1444. From 1994 through 1996 the MPCA conducted supplementary investigations. These included additional soil and sediment sampling in the Battery Disposal Area (identified as a source area in the LRI) and a cover thickness investigation. In 1998 and 1999, the MPCA and CRA collected additional surface water and landfill seep samples. The availabie data from these investigations has been compiled into a comprehensive database in this repott. The investigations identified impacts from a variety of chemicals including metals, volatile organic compounds, semi-volatile orgazuc compounds and some limited pesticides and PCBs. Concepta�al HudreQeologic Model The base of the waste in the landfill corresponds to the normal elecation of the Mississippi River and Pig's Eye Lake, which is approximately 687 feet AMSL. The top of the waste is at an average elevafion of appLOximately 701 feet. Ln response to precipitation, the groundH�ater mound has Eormed in the northern and southem porrions of the landfill. The water table within the waste reaches an eleva[ion of approximately 692 feet, under normal conditions such that roughly 30 percent of the u886 (i� 1 GONESTOGA-ROVERS $ ASSOCIATES 00-39 waste materiai is saturated. Groundwater within the waste flows downwazd and out ward into the underiying alluvial aquifer and into Battle Creek, and Pig's Eye L.ake. Beneath the waste in the southem portion of the landfill is a sequence of organic ciay and peat materials. Seeps aze infrequent and typically small suggesting that a significant amount of groundwater flows downward beneath the landfill. The major exception is the pond in the southeast portion of the landfill that is essentially a lazge seep that has filled a depression in the landfill surface. During normal river level conditions this pond flo�vs into Pig's Eye I.ake. The landfill is subject to zegular flooding due to its location in the flood plain of the Mississippi River. During a typical spring flood the normal flow of water out of the landfill is reversed and river water flows into the waste materials along the mazgins of the landfill. This condiiion has occurred an average of 67 days per year since the landfill closed in 1972. The 10-yeaz flood level is 699 feet, which is above a majority of the waste in the landfill. There have been nine 10-year flood events since 1950. the river rises above the high water table elevations withict the center of the landfill. During extreme flooding events nearly the enHre landfill is submerged. Thee have been four 50-yeaz flood events since 1950. Screening Ecolo�ical Risk AssessmenE The screening ecological risk assessment evaluated surface water, sediment, soil and groundwater. The surface water data suggested little real potential risk. The sediment sampling data showed low to intermediate risk over most of the Site. Risk from sediment to benthic organisms was found likely in the Battery Disposal Area in the south east area of the Site. Soil data indicated levels of lead and cadmium above the benchmarks for some areas of the Site. This evidence is corroborated by stressed vegetation in these areas. The shallow groundwater within the landfill e�ibited exceedences of ambient water qualiEy criteria, however, the deep wells along the Pig's Eye Lake boundary landfill e�ibited low concentrations that would not pose a risk to Pig's Eye Lake. Review of Remedial Alternatives Seven Areas of Concem were identified for the Site, including: • Battle Creek; • Battery Disposal Area and Southeast Pond; • Exposed Drum Area; ta886 p) ll CONESTOGA-ROVERS E� ASSOCIATES 00 -31 • Shallow Groundwater Dischazge to Pig's Eye Lake; • I.andfill Cover; • Southwest Pond; and • Railroad Ditch Various remedial alternatives were developed joindy by the City of Saint Paul and MI'CA for these Areas of Concern to evaluate the appropriate Site-wide remedy. These altematives were evaluated based upon effectiveness, implementabIlity, and cost. Considerations were also made in terms of the relationships between the potentially selected altematives between the various Areas of Concem. Selection o the Proposed Remedu Based upon the altematives evaluation, the proposed remedy for the Pig's Eye Landfill Site wIll consist of the following components: • StabilizaHon of the existing stream banks of BatHe Creek through the landfill and reroute of the lower portion of the creek away from the landfffl face; • Excavation (and possible stabilization) of the Battery Disposal Area soils unpacted by lead, and on-Site disposal beneath the landfill cover at an upland location of the Site; ' • Filling of the SoutheasE Pond with general fill and organic soil, followed by high density planting of trees to provide groundwater uptake; • On-Site management of exposed druzns contauung solid wastes and off-Site disposal of exposed drums containing liquid wastes; • The stabilization of the landfill cover along Pig's Eye Lake and the former lower teach of Batfle Cxeek to pcovide adequate slopes to prevent landfill seepage to surface water from occurring and to provide erosion protection; • Selective planting of trees along the peTimeter of the landfill adjacent to the Railroad Ditch, Pia s Eye Lake, Battle Creek, and in select areas of' the Site to address groundwater mounding; • Augmentation of the existing landfill cover with permeable soils to a minimum thiclmess of 2 feet and vegetated with grasses; • Filling of the Southwest Pond to an elevation as to prevent further ponding (subject to additional investigation); • Stabilization of the landfill slopes adjacent to the Railroad Ditch; and taae6 (t� lll CONESTOGA-ROVERS & ASSOqATES 00 - 3q • Provide necessary operation and maintenance of the iznplemented remedial components. EstimaEed Resyonse Action Costs Based upon the proposed remedy for the Pig's Eye Landfill the total estimated capital cost will be $7,949,000 with an estimated annual operation and maintenance cost of $63,000 per year. The estimated Present Worth, based upon 30 years and a 5 percent discount rate, is $8,917,000. Proposed Pre-Design InvesEigations A number of Pre-Design Investigations are proposed to be conducted prior to proceeding with final design. These Pre-Design Investigations aze necessary to provide adequate detailed Site information in order to develop and design the Site-wide remedy. Project Schedule The completion of the Final Desia for the remedy will be contingent upon obtaining adequate financial resources to fund the project. The City of Saint Paul is ciurenfly pursuing attauung such funding and is expecting to receive assistance from MI'CA in ordei to complete the response action. taee6(1) 1V CONESTOGA-ROVEflS $ ASSOCIATES oo-3g O o - 3g �Y 1 i aa � rs¢n.� ..,c" a v? --_—_- r � ,, .� a � :. \ i Ail ` ; c � --- - - .-�'..'�`.,- ;� - `` � f ''�- - :✓ �� x ° \ _ ,, _°�.. _ � � .,�; ,' ,, -, . �� - � ,, � , � �_Y � , �� r -�. --- y , i . � e i i' r�54 }iafche7 - � ��y � �� . � � \' I - _ oo � t € { � '. � � + � - \ - �� ,, ��' ' �_- ...� - _� �� ' �'1 -'.`" -�7,[lrytl�p•� � 1� —J --� l �- � T ' .r ` ''\ �^ }�y. � .� �-� 1 �i, �—�� c � . . _ �\� �� . -� i. �-,\ �.�a . �va ` � �:��\ '" ��, �1\ ' �� ,� ` > o �� i�� _�� ' ,./_ Q � ti �j\ �==.:- -� p 3, �, � r _ � ' Rr��- �b a' - " ___ � �a� �„�� N � :� � �/� i m'�l r ) � � �• " � ' _ .�`� Y � I o C �� G \�O � X �� \�\��` i �\ � � p �� i'' } ° �� 1. ! �� --_ � 1 _ ` PiG'S El'E �, �`� �` ` �, LANDFlLL ~ _ - _ �' � , �, � ; ,� n - - - _ _ .�� . � � � � � _ ,, ;., , �. �_ _ _= _ � d __ _ . __ �, . o � _ � � �, � �� :�—� u :�� -�. _ _ �(��.� � t a I � \ Q � � ° - i �� : j ;} •� �t � l� � a ` � °____ _, %�;�_ e �-- — u;; _ � -- a �q � '�•�( �� \ ii ' .' - ^ �� '; � �I '.

Eapfain this proposal Current law does not allow local units ofgovernment to recover attorneys fees when prosecuting public nuisances. This proposal provides for the award of costs and attorneys fee to the prosecuting attorney if the recipient of an abatement order fails to comply in a specified period of time, and prosecution to enforce the order is required. II. What are advantages of this proposal Prosecuting public nuisances is a very expensive undertaking for local units of government, By making it possible for prosecuting attorneys to recover costs and fees two benefits wili be realized for cities: First, the expensive costs of Qrosecuting scoff laws will be eliminated or reduced; second, the potential burden of having to pay additional lawyers fees and costs will act as an added inducement for the public nuisance to comply with the abatement order. III. Identify known support Municipalities IV.

BE TI' ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF "I'HE STATE OF MINNESOTA: Section 1. ivLnnesota Statutes 1998, section 617.82, is amended to read: 617.82. Agreed abatement plans; temporary order. (a) If the recipient of a notice under section 617.81, subdivision 4, either abates the conduct constituting the nuisance or enters into an agreed abatement plan within 30 days of service ofthe notice and compties with the agreement within the stipulated time period, the prosecuting attorney may not file a nuisance action on the specified property regarding the nuisance activity described in the notice and the court shall not award attorney fees and costs to such nrosecutine attorney. (b) If the recipient fails to compiy with the agreed abatement plan, the prosecuting attorney may initiate a compiaint for relief in the district court consistent with paragraph (c) and shall be awarded costs and attomey fees if the court issues a temporarv injunction under section 617 82 subdivision (cl a permanent injunction under section 617.83. or an order of abatement under sections 617.83 or 617.84. (c) Whenever a prosecuting attorney has cause to believe that a nuisance described in section 617.81, subdivision 2, e�cists within the jurisdiction the attorney serves, the prosecuting attorney may by verified petition seek a temporary injunction in district court in the county in which the alleged pubiic nuisance exists, provided that at least 30 days have expired since service of the notice required under section 617.81, subdivision 4. No temporary injunction may be 00 -3°l issued without a prior show cause notice of hearing to the respondents named in the petition and an opportunity for the respondents to be heard. Upon proof of a nuisance described in section 617.81, subdivision 2, the court shall issue a temporary injunction. Any temporary injunction issued must describe the conduct to be enjoined.

The proposed amendments include: • Allowing municipalities to acquire property unsold at auction for $1 plus fees, or at reduced cost. • Require that the County provide notice to municipalities, prior to auction, of any ta3c forfeit properties due to quit claim deed so that these properties can be purchased prior to auction at the appraised value or at a reduced cost. • Allow acquisition of any property in a targeted area for $1. • Allow revision of homestead or non-homestead classification when delinquent taxes exist. This would, in effect, shorten the time to when a tax forfeited property is acquired so that vacant property is put to good use. • Revise the statute to reduce the amount of time a property owner has to pay delinquent taxes to one year with a provision for a six month hardship e�ctension. VII. W hat are advantages of this proposal This legislation wouid accelerate the process by which ta�c-forfeited land is acquired by municipalities. The shorter the time period vacant land and property remain unused, the greater the reductiott of blight in a given area. Changes to current law would make it possible for vacant land to retum to the tas rolls thereby eliminating the burden of blight in cities. VIII.

Minnesota Statute Chapter 282 provides the procedure for the County to manage tax-forfeited land. Recently, the process was revised to rzquire municipatitizs to respond to the County within 60 days ([his is a rzduction in time from 90 days) as to which properties they are interested in. Further, the time period that the propeRy will be hefd from sale has been reduced to six months (formerly one year). PED concurs �vith the County's efforts to return the properties to the ta�c rolls faster and would propose additionaf Iz�islation be enac[zd to meet thz currznt demand for housin� and improvements overa(t in the communities: PED requests that the statutz bz revised to aliow municipalities to acquire property unsold at auction for $] pfus fees or at some reduced amount. Property which has not sold at auction wilf remain vacant and blightin� and offthe taY rolts. Providin� the oppommity for municipalities to acquice these at minimum price will save the couniy maintenance costs and wiil allow the municipalities to apply available money to dzvelopment of the properties. PED requzsts that the statutz be revised to require the County to provide notice to municipa(ities, prioc to auction, of any pcopzrciz; which have become taY forfeit due to quit ctaim deed from owner or by defaulc under confession of judgement or under any circumstances so that they may acquire these propeRies prior to auction at the appraised value or, in tar�etzd areas, for Si ptus fzes. PED requests that the Statute be rewritten to c(euly allow acquisition by a municipatity of any property in a targeted area for $ l. At this time, the city and county differ in this interpretation and the county is of the opinion that only residential property may bz acquired for $ i �chile the city believes any property in a tar�eted arza may bz acquired for $1 re�ardless of zoning ciassification. PED requests that the statute be rewritten to allow revision of homestead or non-homestead classification when dzlinquent taees exist. Currently, the classification is not revised aftzr there aze delinquent taYes, even when the structure is demolished which len�thens unfaidy, 2he period of time before the propecty goes tax forfeit. In a stron� economy such as currently exists, it seems to be in the best intetests of the citizzns to shoRen the time period leadin� to tax forfeiture in all circumstances for those properties that are vacant land or vacant buitdin�s because they represent a bli�ht in the nei�hborhoods. PED requests a chan�e in statutz to reduce the amount of time an owner has to pay delinquent taxes. (I) ti�`e would r2commend that vacant buildings or vacant land tivith detinquznt taxes forfeit in one year uith a possible hardship extension by the o�vner of up to six months. Belinquent tares on vacant land or vacant buildines should be paid in full as they represent the �rzat2st blight in the nei�hborhood and do not represent a Ioss of home or business to the o�vner and MaryHelen Mische - taxforf.legis.wpd p 00 -3q which resold, may provide an opportunity for redevelopment. (2) �Ve would recommend allowing a homeowner a period of 2-3 yeazs for payment of delinquent taxes and r,iay include situations whzre a business or home is occupied by tenants. In the event a payment plan is worked out with the owner, tive sug�est that monthly payments be made rather than annual payments which would better (and sooner) reflect the ability or inability to pay off the debt. If the owner is in default in the payment plan, there should be no other opportunity to repurchase or he repurehase may only occur by payment in full. 00-39 CITY OF SAINT PAUL 2000 LEGISLATIVE POLICY PROPOSALS Title: Residential Rental Bond Modification DepartmenUOffice: Saint Paul Planning and Economic Development StaffContact: Allen Carlson Phone: 651-266-6616 L Eap{ain this propasal The City of Saint Paul has lofty and ambitious p3ans for new housing in the upcoming years. In order to realize those goals, certain statutory changes will significantly enhance the City's ability to financiaily meet its housing costs. Those modifications include a language change in current statute which would exempt the City of Saint Paul from the requirement of at least 75% of new units having two or more bedrooms, and at least on-third of the 75% having three bedrooms or more when using Residential Renal Bonds for financing construction. II. What are advantages of this proposal This change is beneficial to the City because current statute prohibits the use of ta�c exempts bonds for new construction for senior housing developments which naturally need only one or two bedrooms. Saint Paul has a growing need for senior housing, and currently has no financing tool to fill that important need. Using tax exempt bonds for new construction is beneficial because senior citizens can remain in their current nei�hborhood and it wiil free up single family housing for first-time buyers. The current statutes also limits Saint Paul's ability to use tax exempt bonds for new construction to undertake major revitalization efforts in the downtown in order to create a viable and active downtown. Modifying the statute to meet Saint Paul's needs will go a tong way to facilitate the process oFmeeting the housing goals. III. Identify known support City of Minneapolis IV.

Residential Rental Bonds; Limitations. 474A.047. Sub 1.(bl: which states "The proposed project is a multifamily project where at least 7� percent of the units have hvo or more bedrooms and crt least one-third of the 7� percent have three or more bedrooms". I Fvoutd like to add the following tanguage to this requirement, "except the Cities of Minneapolis and Saint Paut in ivhich case no bedroom threshotds are required'. If this lan�uage is too broad the following more restrictive 1an�ua�e could be added, ' for proposed projects ir� neighborhoods targeted for revitalizatlon". The original statute applies only to new construction projects. The purpose of the bedroom requirement is to foster the development of lazge affordable family units which are always in great demand in the suburbs and Saint Paul's neighborhoods. The reason the City should propose the change is because the cunent statute prohibits us from using tax exempt bonds for new construction for senior housing developments which naturally only need one or rivo bedroom units. Unlike the suburbs, Saint Paul has a gro�ving need for senior housing. Since we have no financin� tools to create senior housin� many of the projects that are being developed are being built in the suburbs were land is cheap. Allowing Saint Paul to use tax exempt bonds for new construction senior housing is beneficial because senior citizens can stay in there current neighborhood and it will free up sin�le family housin� for first time buyers. The sin�le family housing being freed up usually has three ptus bedrQOms, therefore by building more senior housing the Ciry can kill rivo birds with onz stone (i.e. meet housin� needs for large families and senior citizens). 00-3� The current statutes also limits our ability to use tax exempt bonds for new construction to undertake major revitalization efforts in the downtoFVCt azea where three bedroom units are neither in demand or appropriate. �Ve need to create housin� in the downtown in order to create a viable active downtown. The market study we recently commissioned from Maxfield indicated need for housing units is for efficiencies, one bedrooms and some t�vo bedrooms.

It is estimated that on 17% of commuter trips to downtown Saint Paul aze by options other than single occupancy vehicles; only 11-12% are by bus. This proposal requests $10 miliion from the state of Minnesota as a grarn to the city of Saint Paul to be used to leverage and augment the many good transit programs that already exist, with the goal of doubling bus ridership to and from Saint Paul's downtown. This "Ride the Bus" campaign would integrate all the existing good efforts into a cohesive plan. The Metropolitan Council Metropolitan Transit has made a significant commitment to improve bus ridership to downtown Saint Paul. Combining efforts with Saint Paul's plan would increase the potential for a successful campaign. II. What nre advantages of this proposal Traffic congestion is a growing problem in Saint Paui as it is in all metropolitan areas. Incteasing bus ridership has manifold benefits such as decreasing traffic congestion, auto-emission pollution, parking problems and wili also increase pedestrian safety. III.

The timina may be ideal for forwarding East Metro transit initiatives, since so much of the effons in Metro West will be focuscd on the Hiawatha LRT line. VJe are recommending iha[ [he City ask the 2000 Leo slamre for $8 co $10 million for new hardware, seivices, and promotions. Goals To double (or triple) transit used by downtown employees. Current transic use to downtown is so iow (17% for commuters) that a 100% to 200% increase would be reiatively e�,sy. In fact, only I1 �Ic to 1290 use buses, the rest come via vanpools or carpools. To vasdy improve the effciency of bus service in the Metro East area. Metro Transit will be initiating a new servicc delivcry system plan nex[ year. We have been involved in the plannino and aze very encouraged by their new approaches to bus rou[Sngs. To integrafe the current variety of transit improvement projects currenfly undetway. ExistinQ Initiatives: 1_ Sector improvements. The Metropolitan Council Metropolitan Transit office is making a major commitment to improvc ridcrship to downtown Saint Paul. Their plan, being reledsed this month, si�,nificantly improves bus service for the northem half of the city, for minimal cost increases. They plan to implement the new service next year. 2. Commuter Action Team. The C.A.T. that you initiated two years ago has already been o �anir.ing efforts to increase transit use downtown and heIp minimize the need for �dclitional {publicly assisted) parking facilities. Tn addi[ion, the C.A.T. has coordinated the efforts of the Trsnsponaaon Management Organization, Metro Transit, State and City with regazd to transt use downtnwn. 3. Tr�insportation iVlanagement Organization. The TMO, initiated by you and supported through the Chamber of Commerce, is pursuing coordination among major empfoyers. The use of the Metro Pass pro�ram (now employed by the City and County} is a direct result of the efforts of the TMO. They aze vesy interestecl in transit funding issues. 4.

This p(an outlines s varicty of transit projects for implementdtion including: increasing desi�ated vanpoo3 parking spaees, increacing numbers of bicycle lockers and bike racks on buses, use of smaller buses within neighUorhoods, incmased marketing to move the occasionat bus rider to regular ridership, improvemen� of security at major stops and on buses, seiccdve revers�commuie services fot transit-dependent populations, and focused surveys to �scert�in transit needs within specific corridors. 6. Remote Parking i.ot Acquisition/Development lnitiative. PED's remote parking lot initiative requires acquisirion of sites within reasonable shuttle distance of downtown. 7. 1?owntown Cireulator. A service like the shuggling Capitol City Trolley couid stiil be useful in downtown. Tt would need morc buses and si�nage as weJl as adequate marketing. These vehicles could aIso be used as shuttles to remote lots, perhsps without subsidiZed fundin�. 8. Expansion of the Mecso Pass Program.

Minnesota conrinues to capture a hi�h proportion of federal ITS research and pilot procram dollars. l�icw progzams may include: a coded bus stop system that allows a rider to call a central number, input the number of the stop and be told when che next bus will arrive; and `�e�il time" information at major bus stops that tracks the time of approaching buses. 10. 1ZiverCenYre Area Traffic(Parking IniGative. With a consultani, this initiative will begSn in eazly 2000 with a focus on making major event access as easy as possible regardless of whether one comes by bus, caz or on foot. Key stakeholders in the Ricc Park area will be meeting over the next nine months to iron out the details. 11. Corridor Tcansit Improvements. We should be seeking major uansit improvements in comdors regardiess o€ LRT improvements. Key transit conidors include: Rivervicw, Central, Phalen and Roberc Street. Possible New Initiatives: Bus Service Upgrades. This would include more frequent service, strategic rouang reazsignments, addiuonal buses.

This might inciude using a universal debit card that eouid be used for parking ramps and che bus. Since most bus riders drive pazt of the time, [hi; might be very attractive to commuters downtown. Vastiy Improved Marketing and Promotions. There is a stigma about ridin; the buses. Greater cleanliness and security can alleviate much of the negative notions. In addition, spccia! pzomotions (e.g., free bus use for the month of December used in Madison) can be very use:ci. Preferential Treatment for Buses. There are many possibilicies to consides for giv'sng preference to the buses in traffic: e.g., Develop more HOV freeway ramp enm�ces; more cxtensively use the Geeway shouiders for cxclusive busways; enforce(improve ihe bus lanes downtown tluough �re�ter enforcement of parking bans; ban righi turns in front of buses; use the opticom signal system to give "preference" to buses (not `�riority"). Approach: The Mayor could take the lead in advocating for increased transit use as benefitting the downtown economy, rcducing workcr stress, improving air quality (particularly downtown) and promoting a "rransi[-first" approach to transportation downtown. 0 0 0 0 � Facus Ask $3 to �IO million from the Legisiature for new buses, bus stop improvements, rider incentivcs, mazkcting and promouons.

This proposai p�ovides for the award of costs and attomeys fee to the prosecuting attomey if the recipient of an abatement order fails to comply in a specified period of time, and prosecution to enforce the order is required. II. What are advantnges of this proposal Prosecuting public nuisances is a very expensive undertaking for local units of government. By making it possible for prosecuting attorneys to recover costs and fees two benefits will be realized for cities: First, the expensive costs of prosecuting scoff laws will be eliminated or reduced; second, the potential burden of having to pay additional lawyers fees and costs will act as an added inducement for the public nuisance to comply with the abatement order.
