volunteers at the voting polls on November 5 to participate in Kids Voting. They have been working
hard this summer to raise money for the program, a web site (www. kidsvotingstpaul.com) will be up on
September 17. On that date there will also be a kickoff at the State Capitol for National Civic
Participation Week. She noted the brochures are translated in Spanish, Hmong, and Somali.
Councilmember Benanav moved approval.
Adopted Yeas - 7 Nays - 0
18. Resolution - 02 -833 - Authorizing City officials to enter into negotiations with Ramsey County to
lease the Benz Building at the new Ramsey County Law Enforcement site for City police operations.
Dennis Flaherty, Deputy Mayor, told the Council that they are trying to create a law enforcement
campus in a quadrant of St. Paul for a new police department. This was first started by Ramsey County
who is in the process of building a new law enforcement center, sheriffs department, court space, etc.
The two law enforcement entities will co- locate and, hopefully, it will forge a new relationship between
the agencies which has not existed before and will lead to collaborations and synergies that will not only
benefit both law enforcement agencies in terms of making them more effective but the end user who will
receive the benefit will be all of the taxpayers of the City and Ramsey County.
The plan before the Council calls for the purchase of the Benz Building. Originally it was going to be a
lease - purchase over 20 years and then it was going to be a straight lease. The Administration was asking
for the Council's approval to purchase the Benz Building from Ramsey County at a price of $1.5 million.
This is about $15 /sq. ft. which is a very good buy on the real estate market today, Flaherty said. A total
rebuild -out of the building would be done, built out to the specs to fit the needs of the Police
Department. There will be a 17% size increase in every function of the Police Department.
A few months ago Flaherty said they were using a dollar amount of approximately $10 million. The plan
now is about $12 million. The previous amount was assuming straight office build -out at $70 /sq. ft. It
was a legitimate estimate and it was one that McGough construction, the general contractor, put together
given today's pricing for normal kinds of office needs. However once they got into the program and
space needs of the city, there was an increase of $2 million. Different ventilation for the crime lab had to
be factored in as well as a brand new emergency operations center with all the state of the art needs. The
IS section computers were moved that really have nothing to do with the Police Department but all to do
with the city. That required additional costs for buildouts, some additional security programming, an
additional elevator for police use only, voice data, video cabling, and a fitness center. He said what they
brought to the Council previously was a legitimate price based on office needs and then they got into the
specific programming needs which represents the increase.
The 911 Center and the costs for the buildout is programmed in. Step two will be talks with the county
file:/ /C:ADOCUME— l\LFSUPP— l\LOCALS —l\ Temp \ELF20101215_162814\Approved ... 12/15/2010

about a joint or merged effort to provide police and fire dispatching out of the Benz Building. Mr.
Flaherty said he hoped that Ramsey County would join as a partner in not only the buildout costs for that
part of the Benz Building but also for the equipment. The only thing that is not in the proposal is the
equipment which may be in excess of $4 million. The reason it is not in the proposal is because the
equipment need will be there whether they move into the Benz Building or they stay in the current
building. The current system is old and is not at all on the cutting edge of technology. That will be a
separate issue and will be brought to the Council in the near future.
Mr. Flaherty referred to a September 9, 2002 memorandum from Police Chief Finney saying that the
contents of that memo depicts accurately some of the good things that can come out of the Saint Paul
Police Department and the Ramsey County Sheriffs Office working together.
Mr. Flaherty summarized the deal saying that the city would pay cash for the building and the buildouts
- furniture, fixtures, etc. - would be bonded. Ramsey County would issue the bonds and the debt service
would be paid over a 20 -year period. The attorneys have worked out a lease - purchase.
Councilmember Reiter moved to amend the resolution from $10 million to $12 million.
Councilmember Harris said he was concerned about the financial issues with this deal and that the
county needs to understand that it has to be fair for the city. He asked why the city doesn't buy the
building from the county rather than ask them to bond for it. He said there appears to be rent mark -up
that doesn't need to exist if the transaction is going to be financially prudent for the city.
Dennis Flaherty responded that when this process began in January, they were looking at a lease -
purchase. Then the County Board changed that and decided it would be on a rental basis. They would
still do all the build -outs and bond and the city would rent. However, at the end of 20- years, the city
would have nothing and could be evicted. It was decided that was unacceptable. It was then suggested
that the city buy the Benz Building and do the buildout. The city will probably save 15% of the buildout
costs by being able to negotiate a bid with McGough.
Councilmember Harris asked what the $200,000 /year is for saying he wants to insure that the county is
not making any revenue from the deal beyond what it's costing them to do it.
Jolly Mangine, Ramsey Country Property Management, said the $200,000 is a lost opportunity cost the
way it has been identified to the County Board. Councilmember Harris said the money is then built in as
a revenue for the county if they are managing it and as a revenue even if they are not managing it. Mr.
Mangine concurred saying it will stay in effect for the 20 -year period whether the county manages the
building or not. Harris said he did not think the county should be charging the city $200,000 per year as
an opportunity cost when it is serving county residents as well.
Mr. Mangine said the $200,000 is a total deal. The purchase price of $1.5 million is less than $15.00 per
sq. ft. for the building and it would normally cost much more than that. If the county operates the
building at $6.00 per sq. ft., that is well below market and the only reason they can do that is because
they will be operating a 300,000 sq. ft. facility adjacent to it. The County Board has agreed to bond up to
$8,250,000. They are estimating construction to take about nine months. McGough is scheduled to
complete their work in September, 2003. The county is faced with getting the agreement signed, quickly
get through the design, and start construction in January.
Councilmember Blakey asked if other cities, such as Shoreview and Roseville that are part of Ramsey
County, will also be paying an opportunity cost. Mr. Mangine said the Benz Building will be set up
exclusively for use by the St. Paul Police Department. The benefit to the overall community within the
file:/ /C:ADOCUME— l\LFSUPP— l\LOCALS —l\ Temp \ELF20101215_162814\Approved ... 12/15/2010
Page 6 of 11
county is the co- location and the synergies and sharing between the Ramsey County Sheriffs
Department and the St. Paul Police being on the same campus. Mr. Flaherty added that the Benz
Building will be the headquarters of the St. Paul Police Department and benefits to Ramsey County
suburban residents are non - existent. The Sheriff provides the services for those communities and does
all of the follow -up criminal work. A case could be made that this facility will benefit residents of these
suburbs but not in terms of expecting any other government to participate in the headquarters of the St.
Paul Police Department.
Police Chief Finney appeared. He said he has had discussions with Sheriff Fletcher and they want to do
things operationally that make sense; benefits that St. Paul has that are strengths and would be a benefit
to Ramsey County. In the jail entry point, they propose taking the Police Watch Commander, who
reviews and screens the arrests by the police officers, and co- locating the Commander there. Through an
agreement, the Watch Commander could review the Sheriffs' arrests also. It is thought there may be an
opportunity for the St. Paul Police Watch Commander to be the senior person for other Ramsey Country
agencies that make arrests so there is a standardization of arrests all being handled the same way.
Councilmember Lantry said there was a comparison of the square footage from the current Public Safety
Building and the Benz Building. Dennis Flaherty said there may be close to 150,000 sq. ft. in the current
Public Safety Building and the annex combined and also including Station 8 and the Fire
Administration. Actual police use of that is considerably less. All of the floors will be built out which is
115,000 sq. ft. Currently the police have about 80,000 sq. ft. There was a concern if it would fit and not
only can it fit but in terms of programming, everything has been able to be expanded by 17 %.
Councilmember Lantry said it was her understanding the city would bond for $8.25 million and now it's
$12 million which is a difference of $3.75 million. Mr. Flaherty said they were going to bond for the
entire amount but instead they are bonding for the $3.75 and the $8.25 and paying cash for the $1.5
million. Councilmember Lantry clarified that when it was before the Council previously, the county
asked them to bond for $8.25 million and now they are looking at bonding for $12 million. Therefore,
it's not $2 million more than was estimated a few months ago but is $3.75 million which is a significant
cost increase, she said. She asked what the cost will be each month once the police are moved. Peter
White, Real Estate Division, said the Budget Office has run the figures and approximately $1.1 million
will be the debt service on an annual basis. In addition to that will be the figures Lantry is talking about.
Council President Bostrom clarified that the bonding authority would be $10.25 million. The total
project is $12 million. Peter White added that the cost for the buildout, including all the things that are
necessary to do the operations of the Police Department, is $12 million. In addition to that, there is $1.5
million of the cost of the building which is cash up -front so the amount is $13.5 million instead of $9.75
million.
Councilmember Benanav said he wanted to know what benefit this will be to St. Paul. He said the city is
trying to provide better and more police protection on the streets and he doesn't want to do something
just for the convenience of someone.
Chief Finney said there will not be a dramatic increase in the number of officers on the streets. What it
will offer is less time by investigators and officers spent doing transportation issues, doing things that
they can work together with the county on to return officers, such as the range officers. In a combined
effort, St. Paul police range personnel can be added to the Sheriffs staff. St. Paul police would be the
ones to plan firearms training for both entities. That would allow for two police officers to be returned to
the streets. It will take less time for investigators going back and forth to the jail as they'll be able to do it
in the same building. Work generated on the street will be done more efficiently.

Councilmember Benanav said he was disappointed with the information given the Council by the
Administration. He said they still do not know exactly what it will cost.
Councilmember Benanav asked about parking. Dennis Flaherty said there is a parking lot across the
street from the Benz Building and Real Estate staff are in the process of working out leasing
arrangements for employee parking, etc. He said he hopes to come back with a plan for purchasing the
parking lot and paying for it with revenues from employee parking that is charged at the current
location. The administration will be back to the Council with a request to vacate one of the nearby
streets for parallel parking for all of the police vehicles.
Council President Bostrom said the Council wants to see police officers process arrests as rapidly as
possible and he asked Sheriff Fletcher how he sees this working. Sheriff Fletcher responded that the
Police Department books over 10,000 people each year. The time for processing when the police have to
go to two separate buildings is significant. Studies have been done on investigators interviewing and it
was estimated there is a savings of somewhere between $300,000 and $500,000 in staff time by not
having to physically go from the existing Police Department to the jail.
Chief Finney added that one concept is when professionals are put together in the same room and they're
basically doing the same job and there are no barriers between them, they start figuring out ways to do
their job better. They want to make it easier for themselves and as a result, they start making suggestions
to their bosses about ways that they can combine services to make the job easier. He feels there are
opportunities to combine the actual mid -level investigators in narcotics with the Sheriffs people and do
county -wide work. The details have to be looked at but there are opportunities.
Councilmember Coleman said there will be less cops on the streets because every dollar available will
be used to pay for debt service on the facility. He noted that the Council just approved a zero levy
increase for 2003, they talked about how tight the budget is and how they will be strained to the max to
keep within the zero percent levy increase. There are efficiencies to be gained by having a new police
facility and there are efficiencies to be gained by renovating the existing structure. However, in addition
to what has been talked about, the Com Center needs $4 million worth of equipment for a state- of -the-
art facility.
Council President Bostrom responded that this is an opportunity to make an investment for the very long
term. The Com Center is a huge issue, he said, and the city has the opportunity to either move the
existing Com Center or apply for federal grants and state help to get a new state -of -the art facility.
Councilmember Blakey said his concern is that this has not been well planned and, therefore, he cannot
support it.
Councilmember Blakey asked what the status is of the Fire Administration and the building. Dennis
Flaherty responded that the Administration has no plans at this time that would precisely answer that
question. He said they are talking with the State of Minnesota and considering an area in one of their
new buildings where they could have Station 8. There are options available for the Fire Administration
which are being explored. A fire station is needed downtown for insurance purposes. The city intends to
maintain the current one, Flaherty said, until something sensible and reasonable can be brought to the
Council.
Councilmember Blakey said he has a concern with the county's poor track record on affirmative action
and hiring goals and he asked what kind of a commitment there is to meet those goals. When an RFP is
done, it can usually be assured that the companies are on top of that. Jolly Mangine responded that their
ability to use McGough Construction is for the professional service side of it, the oversight, the
fileJ /C:ADOCUME— l\LFSUPP— l\LOCALS —l\ Temp \ELF20101215_162814\Approved ... 12/15/2010
Page 8 of 11
management, etc. All of the little bid packages that go into doing the work is still bid out and it is
competitively bid. With regard to affirmative action, Mr. Mangine said they use a term in the county
called "inclusiveness in contracting." There are two tracks to that: 1) they attempted to increase
participation by small, women, and minority -owned businesses to do work with the county. Their ability
to take a large package or a project and put it into small bid packages allowed them to do that.
Opportunities were developed within those packages to help the smaller companies especially with their
bonding and their cash flow. He said they had tremendous results that came out of the pilot project as far
as participation from the small, minority and women businesses. There was a second part that was brand
new to the county. They wanted to increase participation of women and minorities on the job site. With
some of their projects over the years, it was very easy for them to meet the goals for the business piece
of it but when they get onto their projects they were not seeing participation from women and minorities
on the job site itself. They recognized that as a problem and they set a goal to increase participation.
They collaborated with Workforce Solutions, the Building Trades Council, McGough Construction, and
the county. Workforce Solutions screened up to 60 candidates to see if there was a willingness or want
to get into that type of business. Special training was conducted and they have a pre - apprenticeship
program. The goal for these particular candidates was to get 15 new people in the community for this
job alone and to date they have over 18 that are on the site working.
Councilmember Blakey asked what the cost is to move the Police Department to the new site. Peter
White, Real Estate Division, responded that the cost to do the physical move has been estimated at
$250,000 and that is part of the $1 million for furniture, fixtures, and equipment.
Councilmember Lantry noted that Councilmember Coleman said $1.1 million is the standard every year
but she pointed out they also have the $200,000 every year for the county's lost opportunity cost and
even though the city will own the building, the county is expecting the city to put away $50,000 per year
for maintenance. She noted language under "operating costs" on the draft lease stating "as additional
rent the city shall pay operating costs as defined herein" and then further down it says that "operating
costs shall include without limitation the cost of maintenance, repairs, and replacements to the building
including down spouts......, salaries, fringe benefits, and related costs payable to employees of the county
whose duties are connected with the property."
Jolly Mangine said the County Board put together a gross amount of $6 per square foot to operate to
operate the building. This includes full cleaning service - supplies, labor, grounds maintenance,
preventative maintenance. There are some costs for property management; a manager will be on -site.
When all the costs per square foot are added up, the $6.00 per square foot is an extremely good number,
Mangine said.
Councilmember Benanav moved to delete "without limitation" and insert "but not be limited to" on page
4 of the agreement.
Councilmember Reiter moved to add a further resolve requesting Ramsey County to issue revenue
bonds in an amount sufficient to yield $12,000,000 cash to cover the construction build out and fixture
furniture for the Benz Building.
Adopted as amended (the Agreement and Memorandum of Understanding were also amended)
