Councilmember Benanav said he did not have a problem with this type of expenditure but
questioned why the Council did not see the administrative order until a month after the event.
Phil Byrne, Assistant City Attorney, explained that administrative orders are on the agenda for
purposes of notification and advising the Council. The Council has no authority to do anything

March 10, 1999 City Council Summary Minutes Page 5
the citywide effort to have the management of information systems handled through that office.
This person will be supervised and their budget handled by LIEP.
Councilmember Benanav moved approval.

FOR DISCUSSION
27. Resolution - 99-226 - Accepting the report and recommendation of the City-County Policy
Working Board for Workforce Development and authorizing City staff to work out details of a
planned merger of the City and County Workforce Programs.
Craig Blakely, Department of Planning and Economic Development (PED), appeared and stated in
the Summer of 1998 the Council asked PED to set up the Policy Working Board for Workforce
Development. It is a group looking at the issue of consolidating or merging City and County
workforce programs. This resolution authorizes the Director of PED to work with the County on
developing the final joint powers agreement and initiate some of the processes.
Councilmember Blakey moved to have a policy session to delve into these issues because he feels
there could be a significant impact on the community. Many agencies may be impacted, such as
the schools.
Councilmember Harris stated he was a member of the working board and he feels the
recommendations are good. There was a lot of discussion, fact finding, talking to people on the
task force, and other people that would be affected. The Workforce Development Council for the
County and City voted unanimously on this matter.
Council President Bostrom asked if the Council must meet a time line. Craig Blakely responded
that the Federal Workforce Development act passed last summer is reordering the world of
workforce development. He was unsure when the State was considering implementing the
workforce investment act locally. They cannot get to the bottom of the mechanics and the policy
issues without taking it to the next step, he said.
Councilmember Harris stated this resolution accepts the recommendation and modifications could
be considered later.
Councilmember Blakey suggested that the Council could accept the report, but the Council should
not give the message that it agrees with this. Mergers should demonstrate a cost savings but,
Blakey said, he has not seen any numbers. Saint Paul is considered a service delivery area.
Because Saint Paul has more poverty, it gets more money from the federal government to do
workforce development. The outlying areas of the county do not have as much poverty and they
do not get enough money. Mr. Blakey said he questioned whether Saint Paul will lose money but
he has not received an answer yet. This is a basic question which has not been addressed. Mr.
Blakey questioned what the board did if that question has not been addressed. Councilmember
March 10, 1999 City Council Summary Minutes Page 6
Harris responded three meetings were spent talking about the service area.
Councilmember Blakey stated this is not an emergency and he is concerned about going forward.
Another issue is the youth; Saint Paul has done a good job with assisting youth with obtaining
jobs, but the County does not do a lot with youth work. There are a lot of unanswered questions
and many vendors will be impacted.
Craig Blakely stated this issue will come back to the Council in time to have a policy discussion.
Councilmember Lantry suggested laying this over for two weeks in order for the Council to get
the information it needs.
Councilmember Blakey withdrew his motion and moved a two week layover.
Laid over to March 24 Yeas - 7 Nays - 0
28. Update from the Director of Technology and Management Services on the City's efforts to prevent
and solve potential problems associated with "The Year 2000 Computer Bug." (Requested by the
Council on November 25; laid over from March 3)
Council President Bostrom stated there was a request for a layover due to staff illness.
Councilmember Coleman moved a two week layover.
Laid over to March 24 Yeas - 7 Nays - 0
29. Update by Rob Fulton and Jane Norbin on Saint Paul-Ramsey County Department of Public
Health: Identification of Priority Problem Areas for the Community Health Services Plan 2000-
2003.
Rob Fulton stated the Council will be receiving a monitoring report which has been developed by
the Community Health Services Advisory Committee.
Jane Norbin stated she has 21 health problem statements derived from people looking at a large
amount of health data. Letters were sent to 200 community organizations for their input. They
met with 41 organizations and 400 individuals and, in general, the organizations were very
supportive. Discussions included: the impact of alcohol on the health of the community, the
health effects of children living in poverty, access to child care, violence, access to health care,
youth issues, overweight and sedentary lifestyles, teen births, diabetes, heart disease, and
environmental issues.
Councilmember Blakey asked why the paperwork shows that there is an increase in teen births in
Ramsey County while national and state percentages are decreasing. Ms. Norbin responded she
did not know the reason. Mr. Blakey felt that the faith community has not been as vocal on this
issue as they used to be.
March 10, 1999 City Council Summary Minutes Page 7
Councilmember Lantry asked about drug use and AIDS. Ms. Norbin said the community was
telling them that alcohol and tobacco was a bigger problem for them. There was other drug use
but it was not as much of a problem. AIDS continues to be a problem.
Council President Bostrom asked what the next step will be. Ms. Norbin responded that the time
line for the fmal plan will be due in September. Mr. Bostrom suggested she talk to individual
Councilmembers when the final draft is received.
Councilmember Harris stated he would like to see an emphasis on how outreach will be done.

30. Update by Chief Fuller, Department of Fire and Safety Services, on the Performance Audit of
Fire Operations.
Council President Bostrom indicated that Chief Fuller was not able to be present at the meeting
and a layover was requested

ORDINANCES
31. Final Adoption - 99-20 - An ordinance amending Chapter 21 of the Saint Paul Administrative
Code entitled Officer's Qualifications by establishing minimum qualifications for the unclassified
position of Parks and Recreation Director. (Amended and laid over on March 3)
Councilmember Harris moved approval.
Adopted Yeas - 7 Nays - 0
32. Final Adoption - 99-162 - An ordinance to amend the Zoning Code relating to the location of
pawnshops. (Substitute introduced on March 3)
Councilmember Lantry moved approval.
Councilmember Coleman urged the Council to vote against this ordinance. He said a moratorium
is not needed and the amendments are not good. The original language was about spacing
requirements which would have isolated them in certain pockets. In an attempt to accommodate
this measure, it has been made worse by waiving it in certain instances. A case was never made
that pawn shops are presenting a problem. Coleman said he would rather go with the original
language that contained no waivers.
March 10, 1999 City Council Summary Minutes Page 8
Councilmember Benanav felt this is generally a good idea and there may be certain circumstances
where some waivers are important.
Councilmember Coleman stated that one of the things he heard from people when he was a
Council candidate was that people did not understand the inconsistencies from ward to ward and
neighborhood to neighborhood. Across the board, the Council should make sure there are
consistencies; either people can or cannot open a business in Saint Paul regardless of what ward
the business is located in.
The Council has previously used the moratorium in good fashion, Blakey said; the shredder
moratorium and the gun shop moratorium were both good. He concurred with Coleman that a
case has not been made against pawn shops.

Suspension Items
Councilmember Coleman moved for suspension of the rules and approval of the following resolution:
Resolution - 99-237 - Committing at least fifty percent of Neighborhood Sales Tax Revitalization
(STAR) revenues collected in 1999 and 2000 on housing in the City of Saint Paul in order to
secure matching funds made available in House File 1340 and Senate File 808.
Councilmember Coleman noted that $3 million could be accessed from the State if this change is
made.
Councilmember Harris stated this needs to be looked at more closely. One of the great things
about the STAR Program is it is competitive. This is moving toward saying competition is bad
and subsidy is good. When the Council says a particular amount of money must be spent on
certain projects, the Council is encouraging funding of poor proposals over proposals that may not
have something to do with housing but may be beneficial to Saint Paul. The Council is
disregarding business association, small neighborhood groups, and others that see the STAR
Program as a possibility for doing something in the neighborhoods that hasn't been done for years.
There are practically no strings on the program and no strings on the money.
Councilmember Blakey stated the most valuable infrastructure is housing in Saint Paul. Last year,
the Legislator appropriated only $10 million statewide. If the Legislature is saying that they will
match Saint Paul's $3 million, the Council would be wise to match it.
There will be money available for good projects, Coleman said and the Council should take
advantage of this match.
Adopted Yeas - 6 Nays - 1 (Harris)
Councilmember Benanav moved for suspension of the rules and approval of the following resolution:
Resolution - 99-238 - Opposing State Legislation now under consideration, such as Senate File
854 and House File 896, prohibiting municipalities from adopting amortization ordinances of any
kind.
Councilmember Benanav stated this was used once in 30 years on an adult bookstore to remove it
from a neighborhood. The proposed law would prohibit cities from amortizing anything.
March 10, 1999 City Council Summary Minutes Page 10
Councilmember Coleman stated this is a key tool that Saint Paul uses judiciously. His concern is
that the Council needs to lobby on this. Mr. Coleman asked if there are funds available to hire an
outside lobbyist.
Council President Bostrom suggested Gerry Strathman look into how much a lobbyist would cost.
Councilmember Blakey felt that staff could lobby this issue.
Adopted Yeas - 7 Nays - 0
(Council requested that Gerry Strathman, Council Research Director, report at the March 17
Council Meeting on the hiring cost for lobbying assistance on this issue.)
Councilmember Harris moved for suspension of the rules and approval of the following resolution

42. Public hearing to consider the appeal of St. Anthony Park Community Council to a decision of the
Planning Commission approving a site plan for an Amoco gas and convenience store at the
northwest corner of Kasota Avenue and Highway 280.
Donna Drummond, Department of Planning and Economic Development, reported the site plan
was approved by the Office of License, Inspections, Environmental Protection (LIEP). The St.
Anthony Park Community Council appealed the site plan approval based on the concern that storm
water runoff into the wetland areas would further degrade the wetlands area. The pond nearby is
a state protected wetland, but the Department of Natural Resources has no jurisdiction over
development that occurs in the watershed of a wetland. The storm water management plan
originally approved had one-third of the site draining directly into Kasota Pond under Kasota
Avenue and the remaining two-thirds draining into a small wetland in the southwest corner.
Amoco changed the storm water drainage pattern to drain all of it to the southwest corner pond so
it can serve as a sedimentation pond to help filter out sand and other contaminants. The proposed
construction site is polluted from a former municipal ash dump. Amoco went to the Minnesota
Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) to see if they could construct in a manner that would not
further disrupt the pollutants on the site and the MPCA is still in the midst of that review.
The Planning Commission approved the site plan contingent on the MPCA completing its review
and Amoco meeting any requirements that the MPCA may have.
Councilmember Lantry asked when the MPCA would act. Ms. Drummond responded there are
not clear precedents as to how they should handle this but it appears that a determination would be
made within a month.
The following appeared and spoke in support of the appeal:
Stephanie Neid, 2417 Commonwealth Avenue
(Harris arrived)
Karlyn Eckman, 973 Raymond Avenue, District 12 Community Council, University of Minnesota
teacher
Margot Monson, University of Minnesota, Department of Entomology
March 10, 1999 City Council Summary Minutes Page 12
Appearing in opposition to the appeal was Alan Nations, 4815 Upton Avenue South, Minneapolis,
Architect for Amoco.
Councilmember Benanav moved to close the public hearing. Yeas - 7 Nays - 0
Councilmember Benanav said he heard enough testimony to question whether or not this is the
right site for Amoco. In addition to the environmental concerns, which are legitimate and
substantial, there are also issues with lighting and traffic. He said he is concerned that not enough
attention has been given to the safety issues, lighting issues, noise issues, and the environmental
issues. Benanav said he did not believe that St. Anthony Park residents are in any way anti-
business as they support a very thriving business community in St. Anthony Park and the St.
Anthony Park Business Association is a valuable member of the community. However, he said he
does not understand the efforts to put a convenience store in an area which has traffic and safety
problems and putting it there may exacerbate these issues. Once it is put up, if the potential
problems are not anticipated, it becomes very difficult to take care of it in the future.
Councilmember Benanav moved to grant the appeal and deny approval of the present site plan
application..
Councilmember Coleman said that his issues are primarily related to the environmental issues of
the pond, the ash, the runoff, etc. He said it may not be the better part of discretion to say that
the MPCA should take a look at it and see if anything positive can come out of this. He suggested
that they might let the process work itself out and if Amoco commits to cleaning up this extremely
polluted site, there would be a potential for a net gain. He suggesting laying this item over and
letting the process work itself out.
Councilmember Blakey concurred with Councilmember Benanav and added that there are not
many opportunities to protect the ecosystem. The Council has supported businesses in St. Paul
quite extensively. There are many convenience stores in the City, but when there is an
opportunity to protect the City's environment, he said they should be careful with their approach.
Councilmember Reiter concurred with Councilmembers Blakey and Benanay.
Councilmember Harris concurred with Councilmember Coleman saying this is private property
and Amoco meets the codes and requirements. Staff recommended approval of the site plan and
they have made some changes with regard to storm water management and the drainage system.
The Council should be realistic, recognize what the site is now, and see the MPCA fording first.
Councilmember Lantry expressed concern that if the ash was cleaned up, clean fill was put in and
then a gas station is put on the site that there may be some of the same impacts with pollution. She
suggested that a better way to approach it may be to leave it as it is now, apply for Superfund
dollars, and permanently clean it up and leave it alone.
March 10, 1999 City Council Summary Minutes Page 13
Councilmember Benanav renewed his motion to grant the appeal and deny approval of the present
site plan application. The Council fords that there was error in one or more of the findings by the
Planning Commission in that the Planning Commission did not give enough weight to the
environmental dangers posed by the release of contaminants and pollutants into the pond, creek
and wetlands area. The Amoco holding pond is linked hydroponically to the spring. The holding
pond would be negatively impacted by light, traffic and noise. Accidental petroleum spills are
possible and would affect the wetlands. Pollution will travel via storm water runoff into their own
pond and advance to Kasota pond across the street. In time, the pollution will continue to lead
from the site into the water table.
Motion of Intent - Appeal Granted Yeas 7 Nays - 0
Councilmember Lantry moved to adjourn the meeting.
