TITLE:
Resolution Electing To Not Waive The Statutory Tort Limits For Liability Insurance.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Motion to adopt a resolution electing to not waive the statutory tort limits for liability insurance.
POLICY CONSIDERATION:
If the City does not waive the statutory tort limits, an individual claimant would be able to
recover no more than $400,000 on any claim arising from events that occurred on or after
January 1, 2008 to which the statutory tort limits apply. The total which all claimants would be
able to recover for a single occurrence would be limited to $1,200,000.
BACKGROUND:
Each year the Council is required to pass a resolution indicating if they wish to waive or not
waive the monetary limits on municipal tort liability insurance established by Minnesota Statute
466.04.
On January 1, 2008 the statutory liability limits increased from $300,000 to $400,000 per
claimant and from $1,000,000 to $1,200,000 per occurrence.
The League of Minnesota Cities has issued a mid-term endorsement increasing the City’s
liability coverage limit as required by State Statute effective January 1, 2008 through the end of
our current policy period. There is no additional premium charge for this endorsement.
The City must decide whether to not waive the statutory tort limits, waive the limits and
purchase excess liability coverage, or waive the limits and not purchase excess liability coverage.
If the city does not waive the statutory tort limits, an individual claimant would be able to
recover no more then $400,000 on any claim to which the statutory tort limits apply. The total
which all claimants would be able to recover for a single occurrence to which the statutory tort
limits apply would be limited to $1,200,000. These statutory tort limits would apply regardless
of whether or not the city purchases the optional excess liability coverage.
If the city waives the statutory tort limits and does not purchase excess liability coverage, a
single claimant could potentially recover up to $1,200,000 on a single occurrence. The total
which all claimants would be able to recover for a single occurrence to which the statutory tort
limits apply would also be limited to $1,200,000, regardless of the number of claimants.
Meeting of January 22, 2008 (Item 4b) Page 2
Subject: Resolution Electing To Not Waive The Statutory Tort Limits For Liability Insurance
If the city waives the statutory tort limits and purchases excess liability coverage, a single
claimant could potentially recover an amount up to the limit of the coverage purchased. The
total which all claimants would be able to recover for a single occurrence to which the statutory
tort limits apply would also be limited to the amount of coverage purchased, regardless of the
number of claimants.
FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION:
The City of St. Louis Park has elected to not waive the statutory tort limits and the City has not
purchased excess liability coverage in the past. Staff recommends continuing this practice and
not waiving the statutory limits.
The following resolution allows the statutory tort limits to remain in place until the Council
changes this election.

Not applicable.

RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Motion to approve Change Order No. 1 to Contract No. 82-07, 2007 Sealcoat Project– City
Project No. 2007-0001.
POLICY CONSIDERATION:
City Council approval is required whenever contract changes are requested:
• To Council-authorized contracts, or
• If total contract expenditures exceed $50,000.
BACKGROUND:
City Council approved the 2007 Sealcoat Project– City Project No. 2007-0001. The project was
advertised, bid and awarded to Pearson Brothers, Inc. on July 16, 2007 in the amount of
$197,586.45. This project involves sealcoating the selected streets in the Pennsylvania Park,
Eliot, North Side and Eliot View neighborhoods.
The contract specifications require certain construction material specifications to be met. One of
the materials test fell outside the required tolerances and as a result the contractor is subject to a
penalty or rejection of the material. In consultation with Mn/DOT materials specialists, staff
negotiated an appropriate penalty to assess the contractor. The contractor agrees to a $1000
deduction and a one year warranty extension.
This change order assesses the contractor a $1000 penalty and amends the contract warranty
period to two years.

No. 2006-1000, 2006-1100, and 2007-1400.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Motion to approve Change Order No. 2 to Contract No. 37-07, 2007 Local Street Improvement
Project– City Project No. 2006-1000, 2006-1100, and 2007-1400
POLICY CONSIDERATION:
City Council approval is required whenever contract changes are requested:
• To Council-authorized contracts, or
• If total contract expenditures exceed $50,000.
BACKGROUND:
City Council approved the 2007 Local Street Improvement Project– City Project No. 2006-1000,
2006-1100, and 2007-1400. The project was advertised, bid and awarded to Hardrives, Inc. on
May 7, 2007 in the amount of $1,792,999.55. The project involves street rehabilitation work on
selected streets in the Westdale, Crestview, Cedar Manor, and Westwood Hills Neighborhoods;
and street rehabilitation work and watermain work in the Kilmer Neighborhood.
During the construction of the project, extra work was encountered and authorized by
Engineering staff. The extra work is a result of the unanticipated delay in the City’s schedule to
shut down the water pump house on W. 16th Street in the project area. The pump house needed
to be shut down to perform the water main replacement work on W. 16th Ave in the Kilmer
Neighborhood. The delay caused the contractor to restage their work into two phases instead of
one which resulted in more costs for the contractor. Further details of this work and dates
accomplished are provided in Change Order No. 2 (attached).
Since there were no items in the contract for this work, Change Order No. 2 provides a lump sum
payment based on the contractor’s additional time to perform the work. The total cost for
Change Order No. 2 is $11,505.00.
FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION:
The additional work for the watermain will be paid from the Water Utility Fund.

Meeting of January 22, 2008 (Item 4f) Page 3
Subject: Change Order No.2 to Contract 37-07
Penn Contracting, Inc., the water main sub-contractor for the Prime Contractor, Hardrives, Inc., bid the Kilmer
neighborhood water main project to construct the 12” main on West 16th Street in one phase. The water pump house
on Flag Avenue near the golf course was being rehabilitated and out of operation at the time, therefore, the water
pump house at West 16th Street and Lancaster Avenue could not be disabled. To maintain water supply to the area,
one pump house had to be operational.
Penn Contracting, Inc. was then forced to construct the 12” main on West 16th Street in two phases. Construct the 12”
main from Ford Road to Lancaster Avenue, while maintaining service on the existing 12” main from the pump house
near Lancaster Avenue to T.H. 169. They halted construction on the 12” main and began construction of the 6” main
on Melrose Avenue north of West 16th Street until the pump house on Flag Avenue was operational and the pump
house at West 16th Street and Lancaster Avenue could be shut down. The compensation for extra work Penn
Contracting, Inc. is requesting took place from May 31, 2007 to June 7, 2007.
May 31, 2007 – Excavate down to drain water from the 12” main at two locations, as opposed to one location.
(2 hours)
June 1, 2007 - Excavate down to provide joint/blocking restraint for live 12” main at the pump house. The existing 12”
main east of the pump house had to remain in service. (2 hours)
June 4, 2007 – Excavate down and remove the 12”x 6” cross on West 16th Street and Melrose Avenue and connect
the 6” lines into the new 12” main. Their original plan called to pipe burst through the cross without excavation. Also,
the existing 6” gate valves to the north and south of the cross on Melrose Avenue would not hold pressure, so they had
to be replaced at that time. (4 hours)
June 5, 6, 7, 2007 – Relocation of Penn’s pipe bursting operation from West 16th Street to Melrose Avenue, then back
to West 16th Street to complete the 12” main. This resulted in one extra set up with trench boxes and one extra tie in
connection against a live main. It also required one extra set up for hydro-static testing, flushing and bacteria testing.
(7 hours)
15 hours @ $650.00/ hour = $9750.00

TITLE:
Bassett Creek Watershed Management Commission Appointments.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Motion to adopt Resolution ratifying appointment of Manuel Jordan as Commissioner, and
appointing Susan Sanger as Alternate Commissioner to the Basset Creek Watershed Management
Commission (BCWMC); and, reappointing Laura Adler as a member to the BCWMC Technical
Advisory Committee, to serve terms beginning February 1, 2008 and ending on January 31, 2011.
POLICY CONSIDERATION:
Each member city is entitled to appoint one Commissioner, one Alternate Commissioner, and one
member to the Technical Advisory Committee of the BCWMC. Does Council wish to appoint the
commissioners as recommended?
BACKGROUND:
The City of St. Louis Park is partially located in the Bassett Creek Watershed. The BCWMC was
established by a Joint Powers Agreement authorized under Minnesota State Statues to oversee and
coordinate the management of surface water between the nine member cities which include Crystal,
Golden Valley, Medicine Lake, Minneapolis, Minnetonka, New Hope, Plymouth, Robbinsdale and
St. Louis Park.
At the meeting of January 7, 2008, the St. Louis Park City Council moved to appoint Manuel Jordan
as Commissioner to the BCWMC. The Commission has requested that the City forward a resolution
of appointment to them. Since the original appointment was made by motion and not by resolution,
staff is presenting a resolution at this time which also includes the alternate commissioner and
technical advisory committee appointments.
Laura Adler, Engineer Program Coordinator, has agreed to reappointment as a member to the
Technical Advisory Committee (TAC). The TAC members participate and provide input on issues
before the Commission, but do not have voting privileges.
FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION:
Each member city is required to contribute each year to the BCWMC general fund. Our contribution
is about 5% ($17,800) of the total administrative budget of the BCWMC. These dollars have been
accounted for in the City’s budget
VISION CONSIDERATION:
The mission of the Bassett Creek Water Management Commission is to control flooding and to
maintain and enhance the quality of the surface and ground water resources in the watershed. The
BCWMC’s mission compliments the St. Louis Park Strategic Directions 18 month Guide in regards
to educating staff and public on environmental consciousness, stewardship and best practices.

A. 2008-12 Capital Improvements Plan (CIP) – Consistency with Comprehensive
Plan
Bruce DeJong, Finance Director, made a brief presentation on the 2008-12
Capital Improvements Plan.
Commissioner Morris asked for more information about a project regarding a
parking lot above the City Hall garage.
Mr. DeJong responded that the item has been placed in the CIP as a placeholder
for parking enhancement. No in-depth discussion has been held. He explained
that there is often a shortage of parking at City Hall. On the west side of the
building there is potential for parking on top of the garage which is currently
landscaped.
Commissioner Morris said he brought it up as the only item he noticed which
would conflict with the Comprehensive Plan as green space would be changed to
impervious surface. He thanked Mr. DeJong for the explanation.
Mr. DeJong spoke about a geo-textile fabric that could be placed on the garage
top.

Resolution approving 2008-2009 Police Sergeant (Local #218) Labor Agreement
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Motion to adopt the attached resolution approving a Labor Agreement between the City and the
Law Enforcement Labor Services (LELS) Local #218, establishing terms and conditions of
employment for two years, from 1/1/08 – 12/31/09.
POLICY CONSIDERATION:
Does Council wish to approve the Labor Agreement between the City and the Police Sergeants?
BACKGROUND:
Staff is pleased to bring to Council the first of four open contracts for 2008. The City and the
Union have had several productive negotiation sessions and have come to agreement on the
following changes to the contract:
• Duration of 2 years (1/1/08 – 12/31/09).
• Wage increase of 3% for 2008 (consistent with non-union).
• Wage increase of 3% for 2009.
• Employer contribution for health insurance consistent with other groups for 2008
at $720 per month. If electing the high deductible health plan, the employer
contribution is set at $511.66 for premiums and $208.34 for VEBA contribution.
• Employer contribution for health insurance for 2009 set as same amount as other
non-union groups.
• Health Care Savings Plan/VEBA – Employees at their cap for leave accrual must
deposit 40 hours into the VEBA one time per year. This allows the employees to
continue to build tax-free balances in their VEBA accounts to help pay for
eligible medical expenses, including retirement health insurance premiums.
o COMMENT: This is the first group to put additional dollars into their
VEBA accounts. The ability to do this must be approved by bargaining
group and comply with the IRS rules and regulations surrounding such
plans. Under the current procedure, employees at the cap have up to 40
hours cashed out; this change will require the “cash out” to be deposited
into the HCSP.
• The minimum hours for employees who appear at court increased from two to
three hours. These hours are paid at one and one-half times the employee’s base
pay rate.
o COMMENT: This is consistent with Police Officer contract.
• Standby pay article added, providing one hour’s pay for each hour that
employees are required by the employer to standby.
o COMMENT: This is consistent with Police Officer contract.
Meeting of January 22, 2008 (Item 8a) Page 2
Subject: 2008-2009 Police Sergeant Labor Agreement
• Assignment pay added for Sergeants assigned to work in Support Services of
$155 per month.
• Assignment pay added for Sergeants assigned in the Emergency Response Unit
(ERU) of $360 at the completion of a one year assignment.
• Performance pay added. This provides that employees who are receiving
assignment pay for the Support Services assignment to get increased amounts of
assignment pay after successful performance in the assignment.
o After 12 months, assignment pay for Support Services increases to $175
per month.
o After 24 months, assignment pay for Support Services increases to $195
per month.
o COMMENT: Assignment pay and performance pay are consistent with
the Police Officer contract.
Staff is pleased with this agreement and recommends approval. The proposed contract is on file
with the City Clerk. More detail is available upon request.
FINANCIAL OR BUDGET CONSIDERATION:
Funds for this settlement are in the 2008 budget, and will be included in the 2009 budget
preparation.

TITLE:
Wi-Fi Project.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Provide direction to staff and legal counsel on next steps to be taken based on information
provided in this report.
POLICY CONSIDERATION:
What steps should the city now take given that ARINC has been declared in default of its
obligations under contract? Based on the results of the analysis summarized in this report, the
two policy questions/options staff and legal counsel desire direction on are:
Option 1 – Should staff and legal counsel undertake negotiations with ARINC which would
provide for the removal of all installed equipment and poles and termination of the contract?
Or
Option 2 – Should staff and legal counsel undertake negotiations with ARINC to provide for the
termination of the contract and the transfer of all installed equipment and poles to the City to
allow for the build out and completion of the Wi-Fi System?
BACKGROUND:
On December 14, 2006, the City of St. Louis Park entered into a contract with ARINC, Inc.
(ARINC) for the purchase and installation of a wireless broadband network. After extensive
time and work with ARINC, it has been determined that the contract provisions have not been
met.
On December 7, 2007, the City sent ARINC a notice of owner’s intent to declare contractor in
default.
On December 12, 2007, representatives of the City and ARINC met and ARINC was provided the
opportunity to discuss matters relating to the contract default, including ARINC’s continuing failure
to make any portion of the system meet contract specifications.
On December 17, 2007, the City Council declared ARINC, Inc. in default of its obligations under
the contract and adopted a resolution affirming same.
Since December 17, 2007 staff and the City Attorney have been in conversations with ARINC
regarding options and next steps. Per Council direction, staff has also been gathering field
observations and information to determine viability of what ARINC has installed.
Meeting of January 22, 2008 (Item 1) Page 2
Subject: WiFi Project
Where Are We Now?
1. The City indicated to ARINC it needed 120 days to determine the viability of what
ARINC has installed.
2. ARINC has indicated it wants to close out the contract as soon as possible
3. Mid-December initial test results and subsequent mid-block testing showed reasonable
performance in some areas and poor performance in others.
4. Indoor testing was to follow to allow for a sense of the subscriber experience.
5. Failed radio performance since ARINC stopped all work on December 21 (whether due
to power or linking, especially during and following snow events) has now minimized
any possible indoor testing, and raised serious questions about overall network
availability and reliability.
6. At the handful of locations where indoor testing has occurred, performance has been
reasonable.
7. System requirements include reliability, coverage, and bandwidth. Without reliability,
coverage and bandwidth are moot.
8. Questions remain on whether the infrastructure chosen by ARINC is flawed, or ARINC’s
implementation is flawed, or both. While ARINC remains responsible in any case, any
course of action going forward should take account of the viability and value, if any, of
what ARINC has installed.
9. Based on the unexpected power events that occurred since the December 17 declaration
of default, and the subsequent financial analysis, staff feels it has had sufficient time to
determine any potential viability and / or value of ARINC’s installation. More to the
point, staff feels it has had enough time to determine a reasonable financial estimate
based on salvaging ARINC’s design and providing a viable service.
Findings to Date:
In sum, salvaging ARINC’s design appears possible but expensive. Preliminary testing indicates
the radios have the potential to deliver the desired speeds. However:
1. Much investigation, reconfiguration, and remediation would need to be done in built
areas (about 70% of the City).
2. Radios would need to be added, primarily to cover multiple dwelling units (MDU’s) and
small businesses.
3. Building power reliability into the network would be very costly. It includes replacement
of solar panels and /or batteries, and significant and costly installation of conventional
electricity based on the location of poles necessary to provide radio coverage and linking.
4. The radio manufacturer (Proxim) and solar manufacturer (SunWize) would need to
partner closely with the City. While these manufacturers are interested in seeing this
project succeed, they await direction from the City. They have been subcontractors to
ARINC in the St. Louis Park project. They have also demonstrated the knowledge
required to aid with remediation.
5. On December 17, ARINC estimated about $1.7 million in additional costs for it to
complete this project. That was assuming the general success of ARINC’s solar design in
powering the radios, which has since been called into question. It is also unclear if
ARINC’s design would truly be able to serve MDU’s and small businesses without
significant remediation.
6. Based on estimated product unit pricing, estimated number of locations requiring
conventional electricity, on-going Xcel energy charges and fees, solar panel and battery

Subject: WiFi Project
replacements, radios required to serve MDU’s and small businesses, the cost of salvaging
ARINC’s network to meet coverage, reliability, speed, and other performance
requirements is approximately $3 million above existing project expenditures the City
has experienced thus far. While field validation of this approach and design would still be
recommended if Council chooses to attempt to salvage ARINC’s network, staff felt
Council should know the estimated ultimate cost to complete ARINC’s efforts first. One
question which then arises is whether the expense ($75,000 - $100,000) of such
validation it advisable, especially given projected end of 5-year cash balances (see
Finding 7)?
7. The City Council’s original approval of this project was based in large part on a retail
model which translated into a break even 5 year revenue and cost scenario for the City.
This was driven in part by ARINC’s bid price and assumed successful and timely
completion of the project. Staff’s analysis since December 17 indicates this project will
significantly miss the retail model target originally set by the Council. The end of 5-year
cash balance is projected to be a negative (loss of) $2 million. This scenario assumes no
change to the business model -- market share, subscriber ramp up, business life, or
subscriber fees. Also, this scenario does not assume any proceeds the City may receive as
part of a contract settlement with ARINC. More information will be provided on this at
the study session.
