Ms. Crawford? **[00:01:55] Lindy Crawford (City Manager):** Council, tonight we have representatives from Manitou Days. I think uh chair Paul Carlson is here to speak tonight to the city council, to give a presentation, and then the council will be asked to adopt a resolution that authorizes staff time and other public resources to support the events. Thank you. **[00:02:15] Mayor Dan Joas:** Thank you. Mr. Carlson, please. **[00:02:18] Paul Carlson (Chair, Manitou Days):** I'm Paul Carlson, um West Bald Eagle Boulevard 55110. Do you know that it's only been... I've only gone six months of my life without having a 55110 zip code. Good evening Mayor Dan, City Manager Lindy, and Council and community. I want to start by saying thank you and that it's an honor and a privilege to be here on behalf of the Manitou Days celebration. I've been part of it now for 25 years, running the parade mostly with my friend Ken Peterson who passed away last year. May you rest in peace; he was a very good friend of mine, I miss him dearly. I've been asked in the past, "Why do you put a parade on?" Most people don't get to do that too many times in their lifetime. And I say because for the three hours this parade is going on, the world's problems just dissolve and go away. I get to be part of it and I get to watch my grandchildren smile and sit back and watch them. This truly is an honor. I was asked a few years ago to chair Manitou Days by our good friend Bill Foussard. I think all of us know him and we can't get away from him too much, but that's a good thing. Um, I said I have to go home and I got to ask my wife, and you know what she said? "You're going to do it anyway. You've been prepared for this, so do it well and have some fun doing it." So here I am and I'm having a blast. This has been a lot of fun touching people's lives and just trying to make White Bear Lake look good. I get to help set things up so folks can make lifelong memories here in White Bear Lake. How many people really get to say they get to do that—except for maybe when I'm wearing my suit? We have a wonderful city. It has everything that most communities strive to have. It has a downtown, lakes, trails, history, good schools, great people. It's close to the cities and yet close to the country. I love White Bear Lake; I always have and I always will. This year's theme is "A Century of Community." The Chamber of Commerce and our Armory, which now houses the White Bear Historical Society, are 100 years old. Both were created to serve. With the last few years being kind of tough around here, we hope the theme brings out more folks to enjoy it and what it has to offer. My family came here to White Bear Lake in 1929, almost 100 years now, and I have five generations to prove it. Most stayed and we've thrived here. This year's Manitou Days is pretty much the same with a few added additions. So far we have 35 events and it kicks off with, of course, Marketfest. The parade, the boat show, huge garage sale at the old First Lutheran Church, the button contest, the writing contest, fishing contests, and ending with the fireworks—probably one of the better ones in the whole Northern Twin Cities. There are many other events, so go to ManitouDays.com and grab the White Bear Press pull-out schedule when that gets published and you'll find out all about everything that's going on. We have a new event this year: it's an art fair in West Park. In my opinion, White Bear Lake needs a yearly art fair. An art fair brings out the community and the best of people. It’s one of my wife's and my favorite things to do. With all that said, there are so many people to thank for setting things up, planning events, raising funds, strategizing and a whole lot more details that need to be done to host Manitou Days. I couldn't have done this without them or without you. For all of you listening out there, we need your help. Manitou Days has been going on for over 50 years now and I would like to see it continue for generations to come. It takes time and it takes money. If you have time on your hands now or in the next few years, please get involved. It's a lot of fun. It needs to keep moving and it can with all of our help. It also, like I say, costs money—with fireworks, the parade, beach dance, posters, literature, subcontractors, porta-potties, and golf carts. We laugh when we say that, and not including what the city does to help, it all adds up. Do you know there are over 63,000 people who live in the White Bear Lake School District? I didn't know that until yesterday. If everyone would just give one, five, or ten dollars, this would be enough to run Manitou Days for a long time. If you can help, please send it to Manitou Days/White Bear Events to this wonderful building here of the White Bear City Hall or go to ManitouDays.com and follow the prompts and you can donate on there. Thank you again for participating in our White Bear Lake community. Come out this summer, have fun, and enjoy it. Any questions? **[00:07:05] Mayor Dan Joas:** Thank you, Mr. Carlson. Any questions regarding Manitou Days? Seeing none, looking forward to another wonderful Manitou Days. Growing up here, I always look forward to that and it's always a blast and I'm sure it'll be another good one. So with that, let's get you guys some support. We have a resolution before us authorizing allocation of staff and time and other public resources for Manitou Days 2023. I would entertain a motion to approve this resolution. **[00:07:35] Council Member:** Motion. **[00:07:36] Council Member:** Second. **[00:07:37] Mayor Dan Joas:** Any further discussion? Seeing none, all those in favor say aye. (Aye). Any opposed? Motion carries and the resolution passes. Thank you very much. All right, item 5B: Market Fest presentation and resolution granting support. Ms. Crawford? **[00:07:55] Lindy Crawford (City Manager):** Thank you, Mayor, members of the council. We will have a brief presentation from Lisa Beecroft and then before you after that is a resolution that authorizes financial participation and other public resources to support the event. Similar to last year, the city's 2023 budget contains a seven thousand dollar appropriation for financial support of Market Fest, which assists with electrical safety, insurance, and related operational costs. In addition to this financial contribution, staff will continue to contribute time and public resources to Market Fest. Thank you. **[00:08:30] Mayor Dan Joas:** Thank you. Ms. Beecroft, please. **[00:08:33] Lisa Beecroft (Market Fest):** Hi, Lisa Beecroft, and thank you for having me back again this year to talk about Market Fest. I have a brief presentation because if I don't, I'll go off script and we will be here all night, and I know you appreciate us keeping our comments to a minimum. Market Fest runs Thursdays from June 15th until July 27th this year, 6:00 to 9:00 PM. For anyone who's been downtown White Bear Lake during that time, we bring in about three to five thousand people per night. We have live entertainment on two stages, a classic car show, 180 to 200 vendors per night—food trucks, merchants, services. A lot of the downtown White Bear businesses participate as well, which is always great. And then, of course, all the kids' activities: the inflatables, the pony rides. It's just a great way to showcase our downtown White Bear Lake area and really get the community engaged for seven weeks of the summertime. I'm here to talk to you tonight a little bit about Market Fest, kind of refresh your memory on all the things that we do and all the ways that the city participates as well. Our mission is a family-oriented festival to bring people together in downtown White Bear Lake in order to promote the city's businesses and enhance the sense of community. So yes, we do this for the fun of it, but I also always have that objective in mind. We are a part of the Main Street downtown White Bear Lake organization and we are there to help promote and uplift the restaurants and businesses and organizations in the downtown area. We could not do this without all of the people that participate in making Market Fest so great. The City of White Bear Lake in particular—Public Works, Police Department, Fire Department, and staff—really do help us make this a safe and fun event every week. Triad runs our information booths and they're phenomenal; they've done that for many, many years and we really appreciate their support and their guidance to our guests. CERT provides first aid services—not first aid so much as they triage if anything is going wrong. If a child is lost or somebody is injured, they get the police or the fire department involved as necessary, and we appreciate having them on 4th Street. There are many volunteers that go into this as well. And then Main Street, of course, the downtown businesses; we couldn't do this without their support and participation. Touching on the Market Fest board: I realized I saw two errors this afternoon as I was looking at this, but we have Dan Perry here tonight; he is the chair of Market Fest right now and does a great job. Dale Grambush, who's been with Market Fest for many, many years and is still very involved. Frank Watson, our staff coordinator and local meteorologist; he does give us guidance on the weather each week and has only been wrong once in the 17 or so years that I've known him! Bruce Boucher had to step down as Main Street president due to cancer, but he definitely is somebody that we still reach out to. I am acting currently as Main Street president, just as full disclosure, until the end of this year. Bill Foussard—Paul brought him up... yes, what is Bill not involved in? Kurt Haglund, our former Main Street president and also the guy who helps me with the music coordination. John Lupo, formerly of Grandma's Bakery; Shannon McCarty from Soul Cairo; Sean Smith, who has the best hamburgers in the back lot if you haven't tried them; Bill Weigel, our awesome sign guy. All these people really work hard together in advising and guiding the strategy for Market Fest each year. We're celebrating our 33rd year. We run from 6:00 to 9:00 PM each night. At the advice of the police department a couple of years ago, we moved our vendor set up from 3:30/4:30 to 3:45/4:45 even though our roads close 15 minutes before that. That really does help with the traffic and minimizing having to tow cars. We'll reopen the roads every week around 9:15 and it clears up pretty good; we stick around and clean up until it looks nice and shiny for the Farmer's Market the next morning. Fun event: we've got live music on two stages, one the Gazebo and the other the back lot, which is sponsored by White Bear Mitsubishi. It's a different genre of music from country to rock to reggae—a fun mix. We have our weekly theme weeks on 4th Street. We have our Manitou Days kickoff. All of the Manitou Days events are allowed to have a free booth at Market Fest if they want to promote their upcoming event. Explore White Bear will promote the beach dance and sell tickets; I know the Medallion Hunt will have a booth there this year too. Then we have the Kitty Parade, which I don't know, anywhere from 40 to 80 kids participate in and they travel the perimeter of Market Fest and then end the evening at the candy store—every kid's dream. We do have a White Bear Lake history night. We're sad that the Cakewalk has ceased, but I hear rumors of having Bingo on that corner instead, so fingers crossed. Our new theme week, "Arts on the Ave," is going to be sponsored by Lakeshore Players. We have Biz Kids and Seniors Night—always popular. Kids or seniors can get a free booth on 4th Street to talk about their service or sell a product. We have a young lady who has fire starters that she came up with a business for; I think she's got to be into middle school now but still comes every year. Public Safety Night—Fire and Police departments do the fun stuff, have all the trucks out there. STEM and Agriculture Night made its first appearance last year and it's returning again this year. And finally, Connie brings the Environmental Resource Expo every year from the city, which is a very popular attraction. So, City of White Bear Lake, again, we couldn't do this without you. We have fire trucks on 4th Street, the extrication demo from the police on Public Safety Night. We've got paid officers on site, but also the CERT team is there, and then everybody just kind of jumps in and helps out with the Kitty Parade. Public Safety Night this year is July 13th, and the Resource Fair is on the 27th. A little snapshot of last year: 180 vendors. I can make up to 200 fit if we have enough applications. We make about 75% of our revenue from the vendor fees; 25% comes from sponsorships. By and large, the vendors are our contributors for revenue. We have food, arts, crafts, merchant services, political parties, farmer's market. We definitely encourage the Farmer's Market vendors and the arts and crafts vendors; it makes for such a nice pull. We try to minimize direct-lead type vendors who are going to compete with our downtown businesses. We do offer special rates to City of White Bear Lake taxpayers—you get a 25% discount. Special Service District businesses in the footprint get a free spot. Looking at our 2022 profit and loss: we did find a discrepancy today, so I'm reworking them, but our actual net income was around $7,000 to $8,000, not $11,000. We found a double invoice. For 2023, we've proposed a similar budget. Things I want to call out: we have paid Triad and the Boy Scouts, who do our cleanup, $500 for the season for many years. This year we are raising that to $700 for their stipends—so $100 per night. It doesn't even begin to cover the service they provide, but we're grateful. Similarly, I raised the prices for the musicians. They took a hard hit during the pandemic, and I know some are still struggling. I also raised the event staff part of our budget to stay in time with trends. What we're asking for tonight is the agreement with the City for funding of $7,000, or $1,000 per night. That helps us offset the cost of the porta-potties, the electrician, and the public safety staff. Also, continued support of Public Works—Andy and Mark are amazing—specifically letting us use the truck and trailer for transportation and storage of the chairs each week, as well as the use of the barricades. In exchange, we'll hold seven safe and fun nights for our community and promote White Bear Lake as a destination location. I think that is it. Any questions? **[00:16:35] Mayor Dan Joas:** Council, any questions? Council Member Walsh. **[00:16:38] Council Member Walsh:** Thank you, Mr. Mayor. The $7,000... that will be part of that $25,000 sponsorship revenue? **[00:16:45] Lisa Beecroft:** That is correct, yes. **[00:16:47] Council Member Walsh:** Okay, thanks. **[00:16:48] Mayor Dan Joas:** Everyone else? First off, thank you for all that you do and all the other volunteers. Sorry I didn't say that to "Paul the Plumber" from before, but with Market Fest, we couldn't do this without all the volunteer help. So with that, we've got a resolution before us. I see no reason why we wouldn't support this as we have every year. Would anyone like to make a motion? **[00:17:10] Council Member:** Move to approve. **[00:17:11] Council Member:** Second. **[00:17:12] Mayor Dan Joas:** I have a motion and a second. Any further discussion? Seeing none, all those in favor of approving the resolution allocating financial support and other public resources for Market Fest 2023 say aye. (Aye). Motion carries and the resolution passes. Thank you. All right, let's move on to item 5C, Finance Department quarterly report. Ms. Kinswader? **[00:17:35] Kerri Kinswader (Finance Director):** Mr. Mayor, members of the council, I'm happy to be here tonight to share some activities that have been happening in the Finance Department and the License Bureau over the first three months of the year. In your packet, you had our reports that give you more detailed information. I thought I'd just touch on a few highlights. First, I wanted to highlight the franchise fee. That's a percentage of Xcel Energy's electric revenues. Our franchise fee for 2023 is based on activity from 2022, and the amount came in higher than budgeted by about $46,000. As we look at where the franchise fees have been, the lowest was in 2020 at $294,000. In 2022, we received $336,000. For 2023, we received $371,000. So that's nice; we'll have some extra funds that came into our general fund to offset expenses. On the expenditure side, our snow and ice expenditures are significantly higher. In the first three months of 2022, we received 25.9 inches of snow; in 2023, we received 53.3 inches of snow. It's amazing how that can fluctuate. I'd also like to point out in the refuse fund: we've talked about the recycling market. It continues to be in a down cycle where we are paying to dispose of our recyclables; however, we are paying less now than we did last fall. I'm hoping that means the market is starting to turn. One other item: Pioneer Manor paid off its debt. There was debt issued when we built Pioneer Manor and we made the last payment in February of 2023. This was not paid by tax revenues; these were paid by rents received from the Pioneer Manor residents. That's very exciting. When we change gears to the License Bureau, it continues to be steady. Our transaction totals through March are 20,125, which is slightly above the 19,956 in 2022. We are going to be changing the hours for the License Bureau starting May 1st. In September of 2021, we added hours so that we were open until 6:00 PM on Tuesdays and Thursdays. We've been monitoring this and found that we have very low utilization rates on Thursdays by 5:00 or 5:15 PM. So we're keeping the extended hours on Tuesdays (8:30 to 6:00 PM) but will be open 8:30 until 5:00 Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. We are standing with the 8:30 AM start time while some other area bureaus have moved to 9:00 AM. With that, I'll take any questions. **[00:21:40] Mayor Dan Joas:** I have one quick question with regard to the License Bureau. So the total employee hours were up considerably year-over-year—is that because of those extended hours? Is that what we're trying to course-correct? Because our revenues are up a little bit but certainly not enough to offset an additional 500 man-hours. We're trying to correct that so it has a chance of maybe being profitable? **[00:22:02] Kerri Kinswader:** Correct. **[00:22:03] Mayor Dan Joas:** And the transactions per hour fell from 5.9 in 2022 to 4.71. What do you attribute that to? **[00:22:11] Kerri Kinswader:** Mr. Mayor, members of the council, many of the transactions are taking a little longer. There are quite a few customers now getting their tabs online, so when they are in our offices, they're getting driver's licenses and going through processes for Real and Enhanced IDs and title transfers that take longer. **[00:22:32] Mayor Dan Joas:** Thank you. Council, any questions? Council Member Edberg. **[00:22:36] Council Member Edberg:** Thank you, Mr. Mayor. Miss Kinswader, now that we've paid off the debt service on Pioneer Manor, I'm going to guess that we don't have rent-free months for residents. What happens to the income and expenses now that debt service has been paid off? **[00:22:52] Kerri Kinswader:** Mr. Mayor, members of the council, there have been projects that we need to take care of just with the age of the facility. We've had to delay some projects until it was paid off, like an elevator renovation. Those are going to be taken care of, and then at that point, we'll come back to the council. We won't stop the minimal rent increases, but the council can decide how to move forward. **[00:23:18] Council Member Edberg:** With the deferred maintenance, how many years worth of that activity are we looking at? **[00:23:25] Kerri Kinswader:** I think off the top of my head it's two years, maybe three years. **[00:23:30] Mayor Dan Joas:** Any other questions? Thank you for the report. Item 6A, the 2022 stormwater pollution prevention program. Miss Talon? **[00:23:40] Connie Talon (Engineering):** Council, I appreciate the opportunity to present on our MS4 permit and stormwater pollution prevention program for 2022. MS4 is short for Municipal Separate Storm Sewer System. The purpose of this permit is to reduce pollutants from stormwater runoff entering state waters. This is accomplished through six minimum control measures. The first is public education and outreach. We do that via our website, newsletter, and social media. We work with Watershed Management organizations. In 2022, we had a "Rain Garden Palooza." The second measure is public participation. This public hearing tonight meets that requirement. We also have the "Adopt-a-Drain" program. As of the end of 2022, 265 drains within the city have been adopted, which is up from 119 in 2021. We also worked on the Rotary Nature Preserve native planting. The third measure is Illicit Discharge Detection and Elimination. This is for anything entering the storm sewer that is not stormwater—like oil spills, concrete wash water, or grass clippings. In 2022, there were 11 reports, including one about a shopping cart and a cushion found in a storm sewer outlet. The fourth measure is construction site runoff control. The building department inspected 20 commercial and residential sites in 2022. The fifth is post-construction runoff management, which involves permanent treatment facilities like the tree trench at the Barnum Apartments. The sixth is pollution prevention and housekeeping for city facilities, including street sweeping and salt calibration for snow plows. Regarding impaired waters, we have additional requirements for water bodies with nutrient, bacteria, or chloride impairments. For example, Goose Lake is impaired for nutrients. We worked on the Oak Knoll Pond spent lime study. Spent lime is a byproduct of water treatment that can reduce nutrients in ponds. This study found it feasible, so we will move forward with design and application this summer. Lastly, for bacteria reduction in Lambert Creek, we installed a biochar filtration system at Whittaker Pond. Biochar is an organic material similar to charcoal that filters out bacteria. This was completed in the fall of 2022. That is it for my report. **[00:33:45] Mayor Dan Joas:** Thank you. At this time I will open it up for a public hearing if anyone would like to speak to this issue... Seeing none, we'll close the public hearing and bring it back to the council. Council, do we have any questions for staff? **[00:34:02] Council Member Edberg:** I just want to echo the issue of construction-related runoff. Activity four or five was a significant topic of conversation last night regarding Pepper Tree Pond. I'm curious if we have an upcoming agenda topic to update us on where we are at, because those ponds are filling up with sediment and I don't think we have a very good plan for dredging. **[00:34:30] Lindy Crawford (City Manager):** Mayor and Council Member Edberg, we can certainly talk about that. The funding for all of these projects comes from our stormwater fund, which is still a relatively new fund for the city. We don't have a large fund balance, so we have to pick and choose. We are starting to slowly chip away at those things. **[00:34:55] Council Member Edberg:** And the biochar project at Oak Knoll Pond—how does water move from Oak Knoll into Goose Lake? **[00:35:05] Connie Talon:** It outlets through a storm sewer pipe that continues and collects other water and goes right into Goose Lake. **[00:35:15] Council Member Edberg:** So we've used human engineering to facilitate the movement of this "crap" from one place into another, which is why we need to take action. **[00:35:25] Connie Talon:** Yes, and urbanizing the environment creates more pollutants as well. **[00:35:30] Mayor Dan Joas:** Thank you for the report. And one of our environmental commission members is here tonight, so I just want to give a shout-out to Bonnie. Welcome. All right, let's jump into item 7A, variance request for a monument sign at McNeely Music Center. Mr. Lindahl? **[00:35:50] Mr. Lindahl (Planning):** Mayor, members of the city council, this item is a sign setback variance for the property at 4910 Highway 61. At the April 11th meeting, the Council directed staff to prepare an alternative resolution for this variance, which is included in your packet tonight and has been approved by the City Attorney. **[00:36:20] Mayor Dan Joas:** My recollection was that there was an appetite to approve this; we just needed to get the resolution correct. Council? **[00:36:28] Council Member Walsh:** Just one question. We're down to three inches on a setback from a boundary, right? Who's the neighbor on the other side? **[00:36:38] Mr. Lindahl:** The property line borders the public right-of-way for Highway 61. **[00:36:44] Council Member Walsh:** So we're just too close to the highway. Okay, I understand it better this week. **[00:36:50] Council Member Edberg:** I'm happy to move approval. **[00:36:52] Council Member:** Second. **[00:36:53] Mayor Dan Joas:** All those in favor say aye. (Aye). Opposed? Motion carries. Item 8A, the IAF labor agreement. Mr. Juba? **[00:37:05] Mr. Juba (Human Resources):** Thank you, Mr. Mayor. This is the fourth and final labor agreement of this go-around, covering full-time firefighter medics and captains. Highlights: two-year duration (2023-2024), health insurance contributions steady, and non-bid vacations notice reduced to 14 days. Wages involve a 3% COLA for 2023 and 2024, and movement to a new wage scale consistent with the recent compensation study. Staff recommends approval. **[00:37:55] Mayor Dan Joas:** This is in line with the three other CBAs? **[00:37:58] Mr. Juba:** It is. **[00:38:00] Mayor Dan Joas:** Well done. I would entertain a motion to approve the resolution. **[00:38:05] Council Member:** Motion. **[00:38:06] Council Member:** Second. **[00:38:07] Mayor Dan Joas:** All those in favor say aye. (Aye). Any opposed? Motion carries. Item nine, discussion—we have nothing scheduled. Item 10, communications from the City Manager. Ms. Crawford? **[00:38:20] Lindy Crawford (City Manager):** Thank you, Mayor. Upcoming events: Trash to Treasure Day is this Saturday, April 29th. The Sports Center Spring Skate Show is this weekend. Spring Cleanup Day is Saturday, May 6th. The Many Faces Pow Wow is also May 6th at Sunrise Elementary. Our spring newsletter hit mailboxes recently; it includes a map of upcoming projects by ward. I want to thank our clerk, Cali, for coordinating it. Also, construction has started next door on the building project and it is ahead of schedule. Just stay out of the way! **[00:39:30] Council Member Edberg:** I just want to echo the compliments on the newsletter. This spring's issue was particularly fine. **[00:39:40] Mayor Dan Joas:** With that, I would entertain a motion to adjourn. **[00:39:43] Council Member:** Motion. **[00:39:44] Council Member:** Second. **[00:39:45] Mayor Dan Joas:** All those in favor say aye. (Aye). We're adjourned.
