The church previously owned a lot on the south side of 101st and stored items on this property where a childcare center operated.

ADMINISTRATION 12.-1 AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION OF A LEASE AMENDMENT RELATING TO THE FOGERTY ARENA “ICE HOUSE” PROJECT City of Blaine Page 7 City Council Minutes April 6, 2020 Attachments: Blaine_Fogerty_2020_LEASE_AMENDMENT_#3 Finance Director Huss stated at the March 16, 2020 Council meeting, the City Council approved an amendment to the Real Property Lease with Fogerty Arena, extending the lease term to January 1, 2055. Upon further review of the lease, the parties are requesting additional language be added regarding access to parking on the City-owned property adjacent to the property being leased by Fogerty. The agreement would add that Fogerty has a non-exclusive right to use the City-owned parking lots that are adjacent to the leased property. Existing surveys of the property are unclear as to the boundaries included in the lease. It is possible that all or a portion of one or more of the arena parking lots might not be included within the boundaries of the leased property. Adding the proposed language to include property “adjacent to” the leased property remedies that situation. Mayor Ryan stated he would like the parking directly adjacent to the west shelter be available for those renting this shelter. Mr. Huss commented the City could control the parking in this area. Moved by Councilmember Hovland, seconded by Councilmember Paul, that Resolution 20-54, “Authorizing the Execution of a Lease Amendment Relating to the Fogerty Arena “Ice House” Project,” be approved. A roll call vote was taken. Motion adopted unanimously.

Since that meeting, City staff and their consultant, Critical Connections Ecological Services, Inc. (CCES) have made significant progress in the multi-step wetland mitigation banking application process, which is overseen by the Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources (BWSR) as well as the United States Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). Ms. Haug reported the wetland mitigation banking project application process includes three main steps: 1) Draft Prospectus, 2) Prospectus, and 3) Wetland Banking Plan and Mitigation Banking Instrument. As directed by Council, the Draft City of Blaine Page 8 City Council Minutes April 6, 2020 Prospectus document was submitted for review by the agencies on August 30, 2018. Comments were received from October thru December of 2019. Agency comments provided at that time were positive and in support of the potential 69.0 acre wetland mitigation banking project. Staff commented further on the feasibility of the project and noted the NRCB recommended the City Council support the Pioneer Park Prospectus Document submittal. It was noted the submittal deadline was May 21, 2020. Mayor Ryan indicated this property was heavily used by walkers. He encouraged the City to take its time with this project and that the trees not be taken down too hastily. Councilmember Hovland commented on the large amount of trees along the eastern boundary of the wetland. He suggested the boundary of the wetland be reconsidered in order to save these trees. Ms. Haug reported the boundaries for the wetland could be reconsidered. She noted the large oaks would not be cut down, but rather the invasive tree species and buckthorn would be removed. Councilmember Hovland questioned where the frisbee golf course was located. Ms. Haug indicated this amenity was located in Lochness Park. Councilmember Garvais recommended the City Council receive public input on this project. He understood the residents enjoyed the trees in this area of the City. Mayor Ryan asked what the next step would be for the City. Ms. Haug stated staff would be moving forward with the prospectus and staff would be adjusting the boundaries to preserve trees given the feedback received from the City Council. Moved by Mayor Ryan, seconded by Councilmember Hovland, that Motion 20-50, “Main Street Wetland Mitigation Bank (Pioneer Park) Prospectus Document Submittal,” be approved. A roll call vote was taken.

These improvements have been planned and coordinated over the past several years as the City worked on the individual components of the system. The system has maintained its basic functionality so we have not been at risk through this process. It is critical that we replace these systems as the next phase to address the deficiencies identified in our water system that led to the water outages in 2017. Mr. Haukaas explained the City will utilize existing security vendor Pro-Tec Design for this work making this an approved 'sole-source' selection of professional services.

It was noted funding was appropriated and is available in the Water City of Blaine Page 10 City Council Minutes April 6, 2020 and Sewer Funds for this work under the overall improvement projects for each component. Mayor Ryan stated these were key improvements as the City needed to protect its water system. Councilmember Robertson questioned if the City needed to make these improvements at this time. Mr. Haukaas reported this was the case noting the improvements should have been made years ago because the City was having difficulty finding replacement parts. Councilmember Paul asked how the City was addressing the excluded items within this project. Mr. Haukaas explained some of these items were already taken care of under other contracts and through IT work. Moved by Councilmember Paul, seconded by Councilmember Swanson, that Motion 20-51, “Approve Access Control Installation Contract for Utility Sites,” be approved. A roll call vote was taken.
