From: Tim Hoyt, Acting City Manager
Date: September 22, 2022
Subject: Agenda Items for Monday, September 26, 2022
Open Forum
Staff is not aware of anyone planning to address the Council for the Open Forum.
Item 5.1
The city clerk will conduct the oath of office for Police Officers William Leon‐Aguilar and Ben Rouse. They
completed the probationary period on September 20, 2022. Family and friends have been invited to witness
the swearing in ceremony.
Item 6.1
There are no new business license requests.
Item 6.2
This item involves routine financial claims.
Item 6.3
There are no new liability claims to report.
Item 6.4
Council is asked to waive $40 in sign permit fees for temporary signs for the New Hope Women of Today
Cooper Craft Fair fundraising event to be held on October 29, 2022, at Cooper High School. Approximately
30 small signs will be placed on private property the week prior to the event. Funds raised from the event
provide college scholarships for students of District 281 and also benefit other local charities. The city
historically waives sign permit fees for community events. Director Sargent and I recommend approval.
Item 6.5
This item waives $280 for seven temporary sign permits for the ongoing Armstrong Cooper Youth Hockey
Association’s registration process. The New Hope Ice Arena is the home ice arena for the organization. The
signs help recruit new participants and alert families of upcoming registration dates. Director Sargent and I
recommend approval.
Item 6.6
This is a final pay request for playground site work at Corner Park (project 1055) and for basketball court
replacement at Little Acre Park (project 1055). On April 26, 2021, Council approved a contract for $81,871 to
T.A. Schifsky & Sons, and a change order for $9,760 to install drain tile at Civic Center Park playground
container was added resulting in a revised contract amount of $91,631. The final construction amount is
$83,784.25 which is $7,846.75 under the contract amount as the restoration work required fewer quantities
than estimated. Funding is available in the Park Infrastructure fund. The work has been complete and
Director Rader and I recommend approval of the final payment to T.A. Schifsky & Sons.
Item 6.7
Staff is presenting two resolutions regarding the 2020 infrastructure project. The first resolution
declares the cost to be assessed for the project and orders the preparation of the proposed assessments
(for tax exempt properties); and the second resolution calls for the public hearing on October 24 for the
assessments. There are two properties to be assessed (one is city‐owned) for a total of $8,133.45 which is
lower than the original estimated assessment. Director Weber and I recommend approval.
Item 8.1
On August 8, 2022, Council authorized preparation of a feasibility report for construction of the 2023
infrastructure improvements in the Northwood southeast and northeast neighborhoods, the Winnetka
Green townhome area, and parts of 61st Avenue North and Sumter Avenue North. The feasibility report
estimates the project cost to be $4,884,623.71. The CIP budget contains $4,980,371 for the project. The project
will be funded with street infrastructure funds and utility funds. There are no tax‐exempt properties in the
proposed project area so there be no assessments. Staff asks Council to accept the feasibility report and call
for a public hearing on October 24 to consider ordering the project and order preparation of plans and
specifications. Director Weber and I recommend approval.
Item 10.1
At the September 19 work session, Director Johnson presented information on premiums through Health
Partners for employee health insurance costs and the city contributions. It is recommended that the city’s
contribution amount increase by $45, $76, and $86 for single, employee plus one, and family health insurance
coverage, respectively, effective January 1, 2023. It is necessary to set the contribution amounts prior to the
open enrollment period which begins in October. The proposed increase to the city contribution was
discussed at the September 19 work session and the Council was supportive. This expenditure is included in
the 2023 budget. Director Johnson and I recommend approval.
Item 12.1
Mayor Pro tem Hoffe will review upcoming meetings and events.
If you have any questions regarding items in the agenda packet, please call the city clerk or me
before the meeting so that staff can research any issues and be prepared to respond at the meeting.

9220 BASS LAKE
ROAD, SUITE LL85
CUP REVOCATION
(PLANNING CASE
22‐02)
Item 7.1
Mayor Hemken introduced for discussion Item 7.1, Resolution establishing
findings of fact and conclusions of law relating to revocation of Conditional Use
Permit for Isaiah Pantoe doing business as The River of Covenant International
Ministry at the property located at 9220 Bass Lake Road, Suite LL85 (New Hope
Planning Case 22‐02).
Mr. Jeff Sargent, director of community development, On June 27, 2022, the City
Council approved a Conditional Use Permit (CUP) for The River of Covenant
International Ministry to open a church at 9220 Bass Lake Road in Suite LL85. The
approval was subject to several conditions, many of which related to making
structural changes to the suite and building to allow for the introduction of an
assembly use in the basement of the building.
Mr. Sargent explained it was discovered that the church was holding services in
the tenant space prior to meeting any of these conditions of approval. The church
and building owner/manager were notified on August 18, 2022, that staff would
be recommending revocation of the CUP at the September 12, 2022, City Council
Meeting. He stated a new owner purchased the building in July of 2022 and the
church and ownership have been unable to reach an agreement on how to pay for
the costs associated with renovations needed to allow for the assembly use.
Mr. Sargent stated the city attorney has prepared the resolution, which states that
the City Council has the authority to initiate the revocation of an approved CUP
which provides the responsible holder of the permit the opportunity to appear
New Hope City Council September 12, 2022
Page 3
before the City Council to show cause why the permit should not be revoked. The
petitioner has stated that he will not be in attendance and requested permission to
remove belongings from the suite. According to the building manager, as of
August 30, 2022, the church had moved out of the building. The “Findings of Fact”
portion of the resolution states that the church failed to comply with conditions set
for in the CUP which all provide health and safety protections including fire
prevention for the attendees of the services and any occupants of the building and
that despite not complying with these conditions, in‐person services were held
within the suite.
Staff recommends that the City Council conduct a public hearing and approve a
resolution establishing findings of fact and conclusions of law relating to
revocation of Conditional Use Permit for Isaiah Pantoe doing business as The River
of Covenant International Ministry at the property located at 9220 Bass Lake Road,
Suite LL85.
Mayor Hemken opened the floor for comments from the audience. There was no
one present to address the Council for the public hearing.

2023 GENERAL FUND
BUDGET AND
PRELIMINARY
PROPERTY TAX LEVY
Item 10.2
Mayor Hemken introduced for discussion Item 10.2, Resolution approving 2023
proposed general fund budget and preliminary property tax levy, and setting
public hearing date for the 2023 budget and preliminary property tax levy.
Mr. Tim Hoyt, acting city manager, introduced Vicki Holthaus, a representative of
Abdo (the city’s financial consultant), to assist with the budget presentation. He
stated the City Council is asked to adopt the resolution for the preliminary 2023
budget and to approve the maximum preliminary property tax levy. He outlined
the budget process and timeline for submission of a preliminary and final tax levy
to the county auditor. He stated the general fund budgets will be reviewed at the
September 19 work session, and the utility and enterprise fund budgets will be
reviewed at the October 17 work session. He stated a public comment meeting is
proposed for December 5, 2022 with the final budget to be adopted at the Council
Meeting of December 12, 2022 to enable certifying the final levy to the county and
the department of revenue.
Mr. Hoyt reviewed the major changes in the general fund budget and the local
government aid revenue.
Ms. Vicki Holthaus, Abdo, reviewed the proposed general fund budget of
$17,235,207 for 2023 which is an increase of $1,056,014 over 2022. She stated the
total 2023 proposed tax levy is $19,053,316 which is $822,305 (or 4.51%) increase
over last year. Ms. Holthaus stated the total tax levy includes the general fund,
street and park infrastructure funds, EDA levy, HRA levy, and prior debt levies.
Ms. Holthaus explained the median home value in 2023 is $325,000, which is an
18% increase from 2022. She stated the current estimated impact on residential
homes based on the proposed 4.5% increase in city tax levy is 8%. This is primarily
attributed to an estimated 18% increase in the market value of residential homes;
an increase which is disproportionate to the change in commercial and industrial
valuations.
For homes valued between $150,000 and $400,000 the tax increase estimate is $61
to $192. The city tax rate is projected to decrease from 62.82% in 2022 to 57.23% in
2023.
Ms. Holthaus stated more budget discussions between Council and staff will take
place over the next several months before Council is asked to approve the final tax
levy.
Council Member Isenberg asked how New Hope’s levy increase compares to other
cities. Ms. Holthaus stated New Hope’s 4.5% increase is relatively low in
comparison to other cities surveyed by Abdo.
Council Member London commented that the city’s 4.5% levy increase impacts
residential properties by approximately 8%. He asked that the budget memo
included in the 2023 budget be revised to include Ms. Holthaus’ explanation about
the commercial and industrial property valuations. Ms. Holthaus indicated she
and the city clerk will update the memo accordingly.

RESOLUTION 2022‐100
Item 10.2
Council Member Isenberg introduced the following resolution and moved its
adoption: “RESOLUTION APPROVING 2023 PROPOSED GENERAL FUND
BUDGET AND PRELIMINARY PROPERTY TAX LEVY, AND SETTING
PUBLIC HEARING DATE FOR THE 2023 BUDGET AND PRELIMINARY
PROPERTY TAX LEVY.” The motion for the adoption of the foregoing resolution
was seconded by Council Member Elder, and upon vote being taken thereon, the
following voted in favor thereof: Hemken, Elder, Hoffe, Isenberg; and the
following voted against the same: London; Abstained: None; Absent: None;
whereupon the resolution was declared duly passed and adopted, signed by the
mayor which was attested to by the city clerk.
RENTAL PROPERTY
REGISTRATION
PERMIT ORDINANCE
AMENDMENT
Item 10.3
Mayor Hemken introduced for discussion Item 10.3, Ordinance No. 22‐05, An
ordinance amending Section 3‐31(e)(1) of the New Hope City Code related to
rental property registration permit (and summary ordinance for publication
purposes).
Mr. Jeff Sargent, director of community development explained at the July 25, 2022,
City Council meeting, the City Council considered the revocation of the rental
registration permit for the property located at 3957 Wisconsin Avenue. During the
process staff realized the current ordinance does not prohibit a license holder from
reapplying for a new rental license registration permit the day following
revocation of a rental license. He noted although revocation of a rental registration
permit is rare, the revocation is to discontinue a use that has been proven to be
injurious to the tenants or surrounding neighborhood. Staff feels that there should
be a “cooling off” period incorporated in the City Code to ensure that the injurious
situation is corrected prior to the reestablishment of a rental license by the same
owner.
Mr. Sargent stated the proposed ordinance states that if a registration permit has
been revoked, the owner of the rental property is barred from applying for a new
registration permit for any property in the city for one year and the owner may not
have an ownership interest in any other entity that attempts to apply for another
rental registration permit for any property in the city for at least one year.
Following discussion, Council recommended the ordinance be amended to read
the owner is barred from applying for a new registration permit in the city for “up
to three years”.
ORDINANCE 22‐05
Item 10.3
Council Member London introduced the following ordinance with the verbal
amendment and moved its adoption: “ORDINANCE NO. 22‐05, AN
ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTION 3‐31(E)(1) OF THE NEW HOPE CITY
CODE RELATED TO RENTAL PROPERTY REGISTRATION PERMIT (AND
SUMMARY ORDINANCE FOR PUBLICATION PURPOSES).” The motion for
the adoption of the foregoing ordinance was seconded by Council Member Elder,
and upon vote being taken thereon, the following voted in favor thereof: Hemken,
Elder, Hoffe, Isenberg, London; and the following voted against the same: None;
Abstained: None; Absent: None; whereupon the ordinance was declared duly
passed and adopted, signed by the mayor which was attested to by the city clerk.

DEICER BULK
STORAGE FACILITY
REQUIREMENTS
ORDINANCE
AMENDMENT
Item 10.4
Mayor Hemken introduced for discussion Item 10.4, Ordinance No. 22‐06, An
ordinance amending section 9‐17 of the New Hope City Code related to deicer bulk
storage facility requirements (and summary ordinance for publication purposes).
Mr. Nick Macklem, stormwater specialist, stated items 10.4 and 10.5 both relate to
stormwater ordinance updates. He stated adoption of Ordinance 22‐06 will meet
the MPCA’s new requirement regarding the establishment of a regulator
mechanism for deicer bulk storage facilities. The intent of the language is to
prevent stockpiled deicer materials such as road salt and sand from entering the
storm sewer and ultimately surface waters.
ORDINANCE 22‐06
Item 10.4
Council Member Elder introduced the following ordinance and moved its
adoption: “ORDINANCE NO. 22‐06, AN ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTION
9‐17 OF THE NEW HOPE CITY CODE RELATED TO DEICER BULK
STORAGE FACILITY REQUIREMENTS (AND SUMMARY ORDINANCE
FOR PUBLICATION PURPOSES).” The motion for the adoption of the foregoing
ordinance was seconded by Council Member Isenberg, and upon vote being taken
thereon, the following voted in favor thereof: Hemken, Elder, Hoffe, Isenberg,
London; and the following voted against the same: None; Abstained: None;
Absent: None; whereupon the ordinance was declared duly passed and adopted,
signed by the mayor which was attested to by the city clerk.
DRAINAGE
DEVELOPMENT
STANDARDS FOR
LINEAR PROJECTS
ORDINANCE
AMENDMENT
Item 10.5
Mayor Hemken introduced for discussion Item 10.5, Ordinance No. 22‐07, An
ordinance amending section 5‐7(b)(5) of the New Hope City code related to
drainage development standards for linear projects (and summary ordinance for
publication purposes).
Mr. Nick Macklem, stormwater specialist, stated adoption of Ordinance 22‐07 will
meet the MPCA’s new requirement regarding the establishment of a regulator
mechanism for linear development projects that create or reconstruct one acre or
more of impervious surface. The text changes mirror the MPCA’s model language
and the Shingle Creek Watershed Management Commission’s rules and standards
amendments that were passed in April of 2022. He explained the new
requirements only impact larger scale redevelopment projects such as street
reconstruction, trail or sidewalk projects. He stated Stantec is aware of the
requirement and addresses it in the record plans.
ORDINANCE 22‐07
Item 10.5
Council Member London introduced the following ordinance and moved its
adoption: “ORDINANCE NO. 22‐07, AN ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTION
5‐7(B)(5) OF THE NEW HOPE CITY CODE RELATED TO DRAINAGE
DEVELOPMENT STANDARDS FOR LINEAR PROJECTS (AND SUMMARY
ORDINANCE FOR PUBLICATION PURPOSES).” The motion for the adoption
of the foregoing ordinance was seconded by Council Member Elder, and upon vote
being taken thereon, the following voted in favor thereof: Hemken, Elder, Hoffe,
Isenberg, London; and the following voted against the same: None; Abstained:
None; Absent: None; whereupon the ordinance was declared duly passed and
adopted, signed by the mayor which was attested to by the city clerk.

Motion waiving permit fees for temporary signs for Armstrong Cooper Youth Hockey Association
registration
Requested Action
Staff requests that the City Council approve waiving the permit fees for temporary signs for the ongoing
Armstrong Cooper Youth Hockey Association (ACYHA) registration.
Policy/Past Practice
In the past, the City Council has waived sign permit fees for non‐profit organizations that benefit the
community.
Background
ACYHA Marketing and Communications Director Jennifer Berndt has requested that the city waive $280 in
fees for seven temporary sign permits (issued for seven days each) between September 15, 2022, and October
31, 2022. ACYHA is the local youth hockey association, providing individuals the opportunity to learn and
develop hockey and teambuilding skills in a safe and fun environment. The New Hope Ice Arena is the home
ice arena for the organization and many of the participants live in the city. The signs help recruit new
participants and alert families to upcoming registration dates.
Recommendation
Staff recommends approval of a motion waiving the fees for the temporary sign permits.

Agenda Title
Resolution approving final pay request to T. A. Schifsky & Sons, Inc. for playground site work at Corner Park
(Improvement Project No. 1055) and for basketball court replacement at Little Acre Park (Improvement
Project No. 1059)
Requested Action
Staff recommends that the City Council approve a resolution to accept the site work portion of the
improvements to the playground at Corner Park (improvement project no. 1055) and the basketball court
improvements at Little Acre Park (improvement project no. 1059) and authorize final payment to T. A.
Schifsky & Sons, Inc. in the amount of $1,675.69. This final payment brings the total cost for the projects to
$83,784.25, which is $7,846.75 under the revised contract amount of $91,631. The underrun was primarily due
to fewer quantities than estimated.
All of the necessary paperwork has been provided by the contractor.
Background
The playground equipment at Corner Park had last been replaced in 1997. Staff and the city engineer along
with representatives from Flagship Recreation, worked with residents to develop a plan that would work
well in the designated area of the park. The site work portion of the project included replacement of the
playground container, entrance ramp, sidewalk, and installation of concrete pad for a bench and sun shade.
The playground equipment and installation was completed as a separate contract with Landscape Structures.
In addition to the playground project, the basketball court and hoops at Little Acre Park were replaced. The
court was approximately 25 years old and was in need of replacement.
One change order was approved for the addition of new draintile for the Civic Center Park playground
container in the amount of $9,760, bringing the revised contract amount to $91,631.
The majority the projects were completed in the summer/early fall of 2021.
Funding
This project was included in the 2021 CIP and the 2021 Park Infrastructure budget as shared with the Council
during 2021 budget discussions. Funding is available in the Park Infrastructure Fund.

Dear Susan,
Reference: Payment Request 4/Final – 2021 Park Improvements – Corner Park Playground and
Little Acre Park Basketball Court
City Project No: 1055 and 1059
Enclosed find the final pay request and the IC-134 forms for the above referenced project. The
contractor, T.A. Schifsky & Sons, Inc., has completed this work in accordance with the contract
plans and specifications; therefore, it is recommended that final payment of $1,675.69 is made
and the City of New Hope accepts the project.
The Original Contract of $81,871.00 was increased by $9,760.00 for Change Order No. 1. This
resulted in a Revised Contract Amount of $91,631.00. Change Order No. 1 added new draintile to
the Civic Center Park Playground Container.
The Final Construction Amount of $83,784.25 was $7,846.75 less than the Revised Contract Amount
discussed above. There was restoration bid items that required fewer quantities than estimated,
and those items contributed to the costs coming in less than anticipated.
We have requested the IC-134 forms from T.A. Schifsky & Sons, Inc. for the project.
If you have any questions or require further information, please call me at (612) 712-2021.

1 Install new draintile system within sand layer of Civic Park and connect to existing
(newly constructed) 4" draintile to parking lot Manhole.
It was discussed that we would like a third cleanout added in as noted on the sketch.
Please include that in your pricing.
General description:
1.Remove existing draintile if you come across it while trenching, but no
need to chase it.
2.Scrape back and salvage the wood chips and put them back afterward.
3.Remove material below the wood chip layer to make room for a form of
“burrito wrap” style draintile with pea gravel.
4.Install draintile and clean outs as shown and discussed and tie into
existing draintile.
5.Be careful on the newly constructed surfaces surrounding the container.
6.The draintile should be 4” slotted hard pipe without a sock. (rock needs to
be bigger than slots) and the “burrito” should be as you described with the gravel
laid on top of the fabric laid in the bottom the trench, with only one layer of fabric laid
over the top of the gravel (no double layer of fabric on the top to help infiltration the
best we can)

Request for Action
September 26, 2022
Approved by: Tim Hoyt, Acting City Manager
Originating Department: Public Works
By: Bernie Weber, Public Works Director
Agenda Title
Resolution declaring cost to be assessed and ordering preparation of proposed assessment in connection with
infrastructure improvement no. 1034; and Resolution calling for a public hearing on assessments for
infrastructure improvement no. 1034 (2020 Infrastructure Improvement Project)
Requested Action
Staff is requesting Council adopt two resolutions related to the 2020 infrastructure project. The first is to
declare the total cost to be assessed and the second is to establish a public hearing on October 24, 2022.
Policy/Past Practice
The City Council routinely considers public infrastructure improvement projects to extend the useful life of
the infrastructure and/or improve the level of service.
Background
On March 23, 2020, Council awarded a contract to Northwest Asphalt, Inc. for $2,889,365.98 for construction of
the infrastructure project. The project included mill and overlay improvements to streets in the Hidden Valley
Park neighborhood, and the full reconstruction of 36 ½ Circle and Northwood Parkway east of Boone Avenue.
A public hearing on the proposed assessment was held October 28, 2019, and tax‐exempt properties were
notified/encouraged to attend the hearing. The project is now complete and it is appropriate to schedule a
public hearing for assessments. Staff recommends the public hearing to be held on October 24, 2022.
The city engineer has determined the total cost for the street and utility portion of the infrastructure project
including indirect costs is $3,032,161.73. Using New Hope’s assessment policy, the assessment rate for non‐
residential properties is $34.69 per foot and for residential properties is $22.90 per foot. The 2020
infrastructure improvement project includes two tax exempt properties for assessments (one of the two
parcels are city‐owned). The total proposed assessment roll is $8,133.45 which is lower than the estimated
assessment roll of $13,016.93.
The properties proposed to be assessed are identified on Appendix B‐2.
The city attorney has prepared the resolutions. The city clerk will notify the property owners of the public
hearing.
Funding
The project funding sources include the street infrastructure fund, water fund, sanitary sewer fund, storm
sewer fund, and special assessments.

Agenda Title
Resolution Accepting Feasibility Report on 2023 Infrastructure Improvements Project (Improvement
Project No. 1090) and calling for a public hearing to consider ordering project
Requested Action
Staff recommends that Council accepts the feasibility report on the 2023 infrastructure improvement
project (improvement project no. 1090) and call for a public hearing to consider ordering project.
Policy/Past Practice
The City Council routinely considers public infrastructure improvement projects to extend the useful life of the
infrastructure and/or improve the level of service. The city’s pavement management plan identifies these areas
in the Street Infrastructure Projects portion of the plan.
Background
The general location of the potential 2023 project includes streets in the Northwood southeast neighborhood
bounded by Boone Avenue to the west, 36th Avenue to the north, and the City of Crystal to the south and east
as shown on the attached Figures 1A and 1B. Elm Grove Avenue, 61st Avenue between Winnetka Avenue and
Sumter Avenue, and Sumter Avenue between 61st Avenue and Sumter Place are also proposed for street
improvements. Streets included in the project were recommended based upon pavement conditions identified
in the 2021 pavement management plan as well as underlying utility condition.
Approximately 2.49 miles of streets are proposed to be improved as identified in the attached Figures 1A and
1B. Two different street improvement methods have been identified for this project. Full depth reclaim will be
utilized on 2.10 miles of streets while full width mill and overlay will be utilized on 0.39 miles. Approximately
2.45 miles of streets in the Northwood Park northeast neighborhoods were initially planned to be rehabilitated
with a full width mill and overlay and are recommended to be postponed to 2025 because the Pavement
Rating Index is remains good. Delaying it to 2025 also provides for eight years from the last seal coat and fog
seal. Based on the geotechnical evaluation, reclaiming the streets versus a mill and overlay will be
recommended for the entire neighborhood.
Utility improvements will include the replacement of the sanitary sewer manhole lids, frames, and rings to
reduce inflow and infiltration. The feasibility report also recommends the replacement of several sections of
water main located along Yukon Avenue, Xylon Avenue, Virginia Avenue, 33rd Place, and 37th Avenue. These
sections of water main have a history of water main breaks.
In addition to water and sanitary sewer repairs, there will be minor storm sewer repair and replacement
identified. The other stormwater related improvements include an alternate for a proposed rain garden or
pollinator garden in Northwood Park, and drainage improvements near one of the inlets to Meadow Lake.

The feasibility report identifies any tax‐exempt properties that will be affected by this work and provides an
estimated assessment rate for these properties. There are no tax‐exempt properties that will be assessed with
the proposed project.
A notice has been sent to residents along the project area to make them aware of the feasibility report
discussion at the September 26 Council meeting. The public hearing will be held on October 24, 2022.
Funding
The majority of the project will be funded by the city’s street infrastructure and enterprise funds. The
feasibility report estimates the project cost of $4,884,623.71 compared to the original estimate of $4,980,371 in
the CIP budget. Funding sources and estimates are shown in the table below:

Total Project Costs $4,884,623.71 $4,980,371.00 $95,747.29
The costs in the feasibility report are higher on water main items due to more streets added to the proposed
water main improvements than were estimated in the original CIP.

The costs in the feasibility report are higher on water main items due to:
·we added more streets to the proposed water main improvements than were estimated in
the original CIP.
After review of the Feasibility Report, it is recommended that the Council adopt a resolution
accepting the Feasibility Report and calling for a Public Hearing to consider ordering the project.
The Public Hearing be conducted at the October 24, 2022 Council Meeting. It is recommended a
summary of the project scope be presented at the hearing. There are no tax-exempt properties
that will be assessed with the proposed project.
If Council accepts the information presented and chooses to move forward with this project after
the Public Hearing, we then recommend that the Council approves a resolution ordering the
construction of and preparation of plans and specifications for the 2023 Infrastructure
Improvements at the October 24, 2022 meeting. Bids would be received on or around February
2023, construction work done in 2023, and substantial completion of the project in Fall 2023 with
final completion in Spring/Summer 2024.
A notice has been sent to neighbors along the project area to make them aware of the feasibility
report discussion on September 26, 2022 Council Meeting. Neighborhood meetings are typically
held if project streets are proposed for reconstruction. Since no streets are planned for
reconstruction, a formal neighborhood meeting is not being proposed for this project at this time.

An informal on-site walk-though has been discussed along watermain replacement streets as the
watermain utility replacement and reclamation of the street will be more disruptive to curb and
gutter and trees. We have found having a conversation on the street with residents has been a
productive means to communicate with those residents.

Dear Mayor and Council Members:
We are pleased to present our Feasibility Report for the 2023 Infrastructure Improvements project.
The general locations of the study area include streets within the Northwood NE and Northwood SE
neighborhoods; bounded by Gethsemane cemetery to the north, Winnetka Avenue North to the
east, 33rd Avenue North, and to the south and Boone Avenue N to the west. The public streets within
the Winnetka Green townhome community, located south of Bass Lake Road (CSAH 10) and east of
Winnetka Avenue North (CSAH 156) is also included in this report.
Streets included in the project were recommended based upon the current condition of the
pavement and underlying utilities.
The improvements identified include utility replacements on sections of roadway with a history of
watermain breaks, as well as the continued focus on a more aggressive pavement management
strategy to improve the driving surface of more streets utilizing overlays and reclamation. This
pavement management philosophy will provide for quicker street improvements and will allow the
utility funds to build for future full reconstruction. The new overlays and reclaim streets will improve
the quality of life, increase the aesthetic value, and increase the safety of the roadways.
The finding of this report will be presented and discussed at the September 26, 2022, Council
meeting.
Respectfully submitted,
STANTEC CONSULTING SERVICES, INC.

CITY OF NEW HOPE – 2023 INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENT PROJECT
INTRODUCTION
The purpose of this report is to investigate the feasibility of performing improvements to rehabilitate
existing local streets and local utilities within the proposed project study area. Figure 1A depicts the
south half of the project extents, while Figure 1B shows the remaining northern project areas.
HISTORY
In order to improve the overall quality of its local infrastructure system, the City of New Hope
continues with a more aggressive pavement management philosophy to improve the existing
driving surface and extend the pavement life of its streets.
As the road conditions and Pavement Rating Index’s (PRI’s) continued to decline, it was apparent
the City was not keeping up with street rehabilitations. The Pavement Management Plan continued
to fall behind, and a more aggressive approach to pavement management was agreed upon by
the City Council in May of 2014.
Interim overlays will be utilized to add structural integrity to the existing street sections, accompanied
with limited historical utility improvements. A full-depth reclamation (FDR) of the pavement section is
another option for poor street conditions, but with curb and gutter and drainage in relative
operational condition. FDR streets has also been used for streets with significant historical water
main breaks. FDR is an economical balance between replacement of water main, improving
drivability by removing street patches, and extending the service life of the overall street section.
Both overlay and FDR streets are being utilized efforts to build up water and other utility funds and
spend city funds to create the greatest ‘good’ within the available budgets. Finally, the most
aggressive and expensive rehabilitation option is a full reconstruction where streets showing
significant roadway subgrade, drainage issues, as well as those having a significant amount of utility
issues.
The pavement management strategy will improve the driving surface and will provide the ability to
improve more streets. The new overlays will improve the quality of life, increase the aesthetic value,
and increase the safety of the roadways.
SCOPE OF STUDY
The purpose of this report is to provide the feasibility of the street and utility improvements. The area
of study includes a total of approximately 4.94 miles of residential streets. The type of improvement
required will be determined by the existing condition of the pavement, roadway subgrade, as well
as the condition of the underlying utilities. For each type of improvement, costs and funding will be
evaluated. The report breaks down the project into logical sections to allow for reduction in scope,
if desired, at the time of deciding if the project should move forward into the design stage.

CITY OF NEW HOPE – 2023 INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS PROJECT
EXISTING CONDITIONS
The streets identified in the Northwood neighborhoods were generally constructed in the 1960s and
the townhome and condominium community, Winnetka Green, was constructed in 2004.
Overall, the condition of the existing storm and sanitary systems in the study area is fair to
satisfactory. During design, a detailed review of city records and field investigations will be
performed to identify specific structures and/or pipe segments warranting an improvement or
replacement.
The streets in the project area were rated in Fall of 2020 and Spring 2021 based on the City’s
Pavement Ratings Index (PRI). The index ranges from 0-100 and assigns a value to each street
segment based on the visual condition of the pavement. In general, a low PRI indicates a roadway
that is failing structurally, while a higher value indicates a segment is in better surface condition. In
general, the average for the three areas are shown in the table below is a summary of the PRI
ratings for the project area.

Figure 2A and 2B show the pavement ratings for each street within this project area. The average
PRI rating would describe an overall pavement condition of low-mid good, however, the
Northwood SE streets area has an average PRI rating described as ‘poor.’
The 10-year pavement management plan identified both Northwood NE and SE streets to receive
the more aggressive rehabilitation strategy of a full-depth reclaim and overlay. Northwood NE was
identified with the higher PRI average of 72.5, the initial improvement was adjusted to a mill and
overlay.
Soil borings and ground penetrating radar (GPR) have been completed to assist in further
understanding the existing street section characteristics and condition. Figures 3A and 3B identifies
the locations and limits of this field exploration. Final data and the accompanying reports have
been received and generally support the identified street improvements proposed in this report. The
City of New Hope Stantec Project No: 193805677
2023 Infrastructure Improvements Page 9
Pavement and Geotechnical Evaluation Report, completed by Braun Intertec dated September 14,
2022 is included in Appendix B of this report.
The preliminary geotechnical report scope also reviewed the field cores and hand augers for the
presence of Petromat® material within the pavement section. Petromat® is a fabric material that
was placed between the layers of bituminous pavement as an interim improvement to provide
strength in the street and reduce cracking. No Petromat was discovered within the pavement cores
during the geotechnical investigation.
The findings from the geotechnical report identified six street sections where the initial planned
improvement of mill and overlay would be marginally effective based on the geotechnical field
findings. These segments are within the Northwood NE area. The pavement cores broke when
extracted, and severe underlying stripping was also noted. All the segments shown in Table 2 are
located within the Northwood NE neighborhood.

The Winnetka Green neighborhood was not included in the geotechnical study as the street
composition is already known as it was constructed in 2004. Following the city pavement
management plan, this street is scheduled for the M&O improvement and has not had any water
main breaks to-date.
Most all the water main is cast iron installed in the 1960’s within the Northwood NE and SE areas. As
is typical with other existing cast iron water main in the city, a history of breaks has been confirmed
on several of the project streets and are shown on Figure 4. The water main breaks are especially
prevalent in multiple street segments. The water main will be replaced on streets with the highest
density of historical breaks in conjunction with the FDR street improvements.
City of New Hope Stantec Project No: 193805677
2023 Infrastructure Improvements Page 10
The other present water main material is ductile iron pipe installed along the Wisconsin/35 ½
Avenues segments and the Winnetka Green neighborhood. None of these segments have had a
water main break recorded to-date.
During the Summer 2022, two additional sections of streets were identified as requiring attention as
the condition of street is so poor in condition. These street segments are summarized in the below
Table 3.

CITY OF NEW HOPE – 2023 INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENT PROJECT
STREET IMPROVEMENTS
Approximately 2.49 miles of streets are proposed to be improved as identified in Figures 1A and 1B.
Two different street improvement methods have been identified for this project. The typical
proposed street sections corresponding to the proposed improvements are shown on Figure 5. The
rehabilitation methods were generally chosen based on the following criteria:
·Full Depth Reclamation (FDR)
o Poor street and underlying base conditions that cannot be significantly improved by mill
& overlay
o Poor to Very poor PRI rating – failing base and wear course pavement
o Limited or lesser amount of water main breaks than full reconstruct streets; but potentially
enough to warrant replacing the only the main.
o Other utility replacements/repairs required
·Mill and Overlay
o Poor street conditions of which can have an effective benefit with a mill and overlay
o Average PRI rating
o Limited or lesser amount of water breaks than full-depth reclamation streets
o Minimal utility improvements required
MISCELLANEOUS
Boulevards disturbed by construction in all areas will be graded, shaped, and restored. If driveways
are disturbed during construction, they will be patched to match the existing driveway material. All
traffic signs within the project limits will be reviewed to verify current code and sign retro-reflectivity
standards. Streetlight replacement or upgrades are not planned with this project, and costs are not
included in this report.
Trees near proposed water main improvements may need to be removed for worker safety as well
as a result of root damage. We will identify the trees that need to be removed during design and
will update property owners at that time. The city has a listing of tree types and species that will be
replanted for property owners if their tree needs to be removed. The city is also monitoring emerald
ash bore and its effects on ash trees. Some of the ash trees in the project area may be removed
under that city program.
FULL-DEPTH RECLAMATION (FDR)
Full-depth reclamation (or Reclaim and Overlay) consists of grinding up the entire pavement section
and mixing it with the underlying aggregate base, creating a homogeneous roadway base. This
material is then shaped, compacted, and excess material is hauled away. A new, 3-inch lift of
bituminous wear pavement is then placed over the entire roadway. Curb replacement will be
completed on areas with severe damage or poor drainage prior to paving, and spot patching will
be completed on any areas with soft subgrade soils. Table 4 summarizes the street segments
proposed to receive the full depth reclaim and overlay street improvement.

MILL AND OVERLAY
The full width mill and overlay consists of milling the upper two inches of the existing bituminous
surface across the entire width of the street, followed by an equivalent depth overlay over the entire
bituminous surface. The full width mill and overlay increases structural strength of the road, with the
assumption that the underlying bituminous and aggregate are in reasonable condition.
Curb replacement will be completed on areas of severely damaged or poorly draining curb prior to
paving. Spot patching will be completed on any severely cracked or failing pavement prior to the
new bituminous overlay.
Table 5 summarizes the recommended mill and overlay improvement streets and the total length of
street improvement.

The streets in Table 6 were initially planned to be rehabilitated with a full width mill and overlay and
are recommended to be postponed to 2025 because the PRI is averaging 72.5. Delaying it to 2025
also provides for eight years from the last seal coat and fog seal. Based on the geotechnical

evaluation, reclaiming the streets versus a mill and overlay will be recommended for the entire
neighborhood.

On past projects, the city has also utilized an edge mill and overlay improvement method. This
technique consists of milling off the upper portion of bituminous on only the outer 6’ of each side of
the roadway and is generally utilized in areas of poor drainage when the existing roadway crown is
too low. Given that there do not appear to be poorly drained areas because of a low centerline
crown, as well as some poor overall pavement conditions across the entire width of the roadway, a
full width mill and overlay is recommended on all the identified segments for this project.

INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGIES
This feasibility report identifies utilizing current and typical bituminous materials for the type of
improvements proposed. Although, as the type of pavement materials continue to evolve, we will
continue to explore new and innovative technologies to improve the streets and extend the
pavement life. There is potential for this project or future projects to utilize less expensive and/or
better pavement materials.
COMPLETE STREETS
In May 2011, the City of New Hope approved a Complete Streets policy. The policy outlined the
city’s commitment to consider the safety and functionality of streets for people of all ages and
abilities, and for various modes of transportation. Examples of modes of transportation include
walking, biking, wheelchairs, public transit, and automotive. In accordance with the policy, a
Complete Streets network has been reviewed with this project.
While streets will be further reviewed during the design phase for all street improvement areas, it is
not anticipated that any trails, sidewalks, bike lanes, or other complete streets elements will be
incorporated into this project area. All the streets are local streets which currently do not have any
of these elements and are not designated to have them within the City’s comprehensive plan.

WATER MAIN IMPROVEMENTS
The water main on the street segments identified in this report is made of cast iron pipe (CIP).
Historically, the CIP water main throughout the city has been a significant maintenance issue.
Numerous breaks have occurred over the years, causing considerable inconvenience to residents
and maintenance cost to the city.
The Winnetka Green Townhome community and the two northern added streets both have had no
water main incidents to-date. This could be attributed to the 2004 installed water pipe material
being ductile iron within Winnetka Green development and the soil composition in the far northeast
of the city where the original 1970s cast iron pipe has remained without many incidents, therefore
only the Northwood area is represented in Figure 4.
FULL DEPTH RECLAMATION (OR RECLAIM AND OVERLAY)
These proposed water main improvements are located on six street segments, as shown Figure 6.
The number of consecutive breaks is driving the replacement of the water main in these areas.
Table 7 details the scope and number of breaks for each proposed street segment. Generally,
water main incidents have been occurring at the main, and connecting saddles. Therefore, the
replacement strategy will not include replacement of services and curb stops. Each service saddle
and corporation stop will be replaced at the new PVC main and reconnect to the service next to
the main. Replacement of the water main in this area will include new hydrants and gate valves.

SANITARY SEWER IMPROVEMENTS
The sanitary sewer mains in the Northwood SE study area are in operable condition without any
reported back-ups or significant sags. Roots will be an on-going challenge as the pipe main
materials are the original 1960’s clay pipe. The televising will be reviewed during design to confirm
the conditions of the mains. These pipes are planned to be lined in a future sanitary rehabilitation
project.
The Winnetka Green development consists of primarily PVC and RCP pipe materials, and the
majority were installed in 2004. These pipe lengths are in satisfactory condition.
The northern-most add-in streets of 61st Ave N and Sumter Ave N are part of a fully cast-in-place
pipe (CIPP) improvement area in 2016. The method of lining existing clay pipes using CIPP avoids
disruptive and costly open-trench replacement, while still providing root and infiltration protection.
CIPP lining also adds additional life to the existing sanitary sewer.
No other spot repairs will be required in the mill and overlay or reclaim and overlay areas based on
current televising reports, which will be verified during final design.
All manhole covers within the project area that have open pick holes are proposed to be replaced
with covers with concealed pick holes. This will remove any unnecessary inflow into the sanitary
sewer system through those openings. All existing manholes covers with potential inflow are
identified on Figure 7.
All costs associated to removing inflow and infiltration can be credited to Metropolitan Council I/I
(Inflow/Infiltration) Excess Surcharge amounts.

STORM SEWER IMPROVEMENTS
MILL AND OVERLAY AND FULL DEPTH RECLAMATION AREAS
The storm sewer improvements planned on the streets will be minimal.
Some cost has been allocated to remove and replace a few storm sewer casting, frame, and rings
for structures that may be in critical structural condition. Further review of storm sewer structure
conditions will be done during design. The impact of these improvements to the surrounding areas is
minimal, and it is recommended to complete these improvements with this project.
Replacing the existing storm sewer structures is not planned for the project scope. It is anticipated
that New Hope Public Works will repair any failing structures as they occur prior to a full
reconstruction improvement in the future.
ALTERNATE PLANTINGS INSTALLATION IN NORTHWOOD PARK
With environmental conscience, an alternate will be included for the installation of a butterfly
garden within the greater Northwood Park Ballfields. The garden plants are to attract, encourage
and retain butterfly populations. Other pollinators will benefit from the plantings as well. The
garden installation is proposed with the focus on promoting pollinator / butterfly awareness.
Gardens provide for a natural filtration and storage area for rainwater prior to entering the ground
or the storm sewer system. This natural process helps to filter out pollutants that are washed from
streets, parking lots, and lawns with rainwater.
During the design phase, utilization of excess run-off from the ballfield and open areas collected in
the existing storm system and bypassed to provide watering for the garden and water filtration
before re-entering the existing storm system.
The design of this proposed alternate is a combination of rain garden containing wildlife promoting
plantings. During the design phase, if approved, the location within the Northwood Ballfields area
will be determined, the general area of focus is noted on Figure 1A.
ALTERNATE MEADOW LAKE INLET IMPROVEMENTS
The scope of this alternate is to improve the function of the northeast outlet into Meadow Lake
located off the Wisconsin Circle neighborhood as noted on Figure 1B. The outlet area requires
maintenance attention and improvements as street collected storm water is not effectively draining
to the waterbody. The area currently has sediment which over time has collected into an earthen
berm, essentially blocking direct drainage. Vegetation overgrowth and fast-growing trees have also
established which has worsened as the overall waterbody edge has receded. Adjacent property
owners have had flooding issues in their backyards resulting from the current condition of this outlet
area.
Existing rip rap will also be removed, and a new rip raped system will be placed after the removals
are completed. The city would use this as an opportunity to recycle the granite rocks previously
removed from the pool and city hall parking lot medians.

ESTIMATE COMPARED TO CIP BUDGET
This report breaks down the project into logical sections to allow for reduction in scope, if desired, at
the time of deciding if the project should move forward into the design stage. Since the estimated
costs are higher and lower than the original Capital Improvement Plan (CIP) 2023 Budget as shown
in Table 10, we will work with Staff to identify logical adjustments. For example, because there are
street restoration costs tied to the watermain improvements and since watermain costs are coming
in over budget at this time, some of those street restoration costs included under the watermain
improvements could be associated to the street restoration costs.

A. Introduction
A.1. Project Description
This Pavement and Geotechnical Evaluation Report addresses the City of New Hope’s 2023 Infrastructure
Improvement Projects. The streets total approximately 4.23 miles in length, have a bituminous surface
and are planned for either a 2-inch mill-and-overlay or full-depth reclamation (FDR). Some watermain
replacement work will also be performed on streets planned for FDR.
It was requested that we perform Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) testing, pavement coring and hand
auger borings and soil borings. Table 1 provides additional project details.

A.2. Purpose
The purpose of our pavement and geotechnical evaluation will be to determine in-place pavement layer
thicknesses and characterize subsurface geologic conditions at selected explorations for use in assessing
the planned repairs.
A.3. Background Information and Reference Documents
We reviewed the following information:
Sketch indicating the streets to be tested and recommended exploration locations, as
provided by Stantec.

USDA Websoil survey of Hennepin County.
We have described our understanding of the proposed construction and site to the extent others
reported it to us. Depending on the extent of available information, we may have made assumptions
based on our experience with similar projects. If we have not correctly recorded or interpreted the
project details, the project team should notify us. New or changed information could require additional
evaluation, analyses and/or recommendations.
A.4. Scope of Services
We performed our scope of services for the project in accordance with our Proposal QTB163275 to Mr.
Bernie Weber, dated August 1, 2022, and authorized on August 8, 2022. The following list describes the
tasks completed in accordance with our authorized scope of services.
Estimating pavement thickness data on each street with an air-coupled Ground Penetrating
Radar (GPR).
Conducting 18 bituminous pavement cores and hand auger borings on the streets, noting
their condition, and measuring their thicknesses.
Performing six soil borings, denoted as ST-1 through ST-6, to a depth of 12 feet each at
locations specified by Stantec.
Preparing this report containing our findings and recommendations for pavement
rehabilitation.
B. Results
B.1. GPR Testing
GPR was used to approximate pavement layer thicknesses along the streets. The data was collected at a
nominal 1-foot interval. Where “ground truth” data (pavement coring, hand auger borings and soil
City of New Hope
Project B2207599
September 12, 2022
Page 3
borings) were performed, the interpreted layers from the GPR scan were compared directly to the
measured thicknesses to validate the accuracy of the GPR analysis.
Based on our analysis using the RADAN software program, the average pavement layer thicknesses for
each street segment are provided in the matrix included in Appendix F. Within some of the GPR scans,
there was excessive ambient noise within some of the scans, which can affect the clarity and penetration
depth of the data.
Appendix C provides the GPR data in graphical form. We highly recommend referring to Appendix C to
see how thicknesses vary along each street.
B.2. Pavement Core and Hand Auger Boring Results
As requested, we performed a total of 18 pavement core and hand auger borings. All explorations were
performed within drive lanes at locations recommended by Stantec. Locations are provided on the map
in Appendix B and photographs of the pavement cores are provided in Appendix D.
Information from the cores and hand auger borings was used to obtain/validate GPR pavement layer
thicknesses for the bituminous and aggregate base layers, if present, as well as to assess bituminous
material conditions. Results are provided in the matrix provided in Appendix F. It should be noted that
we did not perform gradation analysis on the apparent aggregate base material encountered as part of
the pavement section, in accordance with our scope of work. Therefore, we cannot conclusively
determine if the encountered material satisfies a particular specification.
Bituminous core thicknesses ranged from about 4 to 7 inches, and apparent aggregate base thicknesses
obtained from hand auger borings ranged from about 4 to 11 1/2 inches. As noted in the matrix, none of
the pavement cores encountered Petromat™ paving fabric, which has been placed on some of the City’s
streets to help slow the progression of reflective cracking.
For each of the pavement cores, the matrix notes whether or not stripping was observed. Stripping is the
deterioration of the asphalt/aggregate bond in a bituminous pavement due to the presence of moisture.
Stripping often begins at the bottom of the bituminous layer, where it may be in contact with saturated
aggregate or soil, and proceeds upward.
City of New Hope
Project B2207599

Low-severity stripping is common in bituminous pavements over time. However, those that have
stripped to moderate to severe degrees would typically not be considered for rehabilitation methods
that may leave any damaged portion of the pavement in place, such as mill-and-overlay.
B.3. Boring Results
Table 2 provides a summary of the soil boring results in the general order we encountered the strata.
Please refer to the Log of Boring sheets in Appendix E for additional details. The Descriptive Terminology

We did not perform gradation analysis on the apparent aggregate base material encountered as part of
the pavement section, in accordance with our scope of work. Therefore, we cannot conclusively
determine if the encountered material satisfies a particular specification, and it should not be assumed it
is suitable for reuse.
For simplicity in this report, we define existing fill to mean existing, uncontrolled or undocumented fill.

B.4. Groundwater
We did not observe groundwater while performing our borings. Groundwater may take days or longer to
reach equilibrium in the boreholes and we immediately backfilled the boreholes, in accordance with our
scope of work. If the project team identifies a need for more accurate determination of groundwater
depth, we can install piezometers. Project planning should anticipate seasonal and annual fluctuations of
groundwater.

The moisture content of the tested samples of clayey sand varied from approximately 12 to 16 percent,
indicating that the materials tested were above their probable optimum moisture content. The moisture
content of the silt and lean clay samples tested varied from approximately 23 to 24 percent, indicating
that the materials tested were near their probable optimum moisture content.
Our mechanical analyses indicated that the soils contained 45 to 94 percent silt and clay by weight.
C. Recommendations
As previously noted, we understand the City is planning approximately 4.23 miles of infrastructure
improvement projects, including 2.36 miles of mill-and-overlay and 1.87 miles of full-depth reclamation
(FDR).
City of New Hope
Project B2207599
September 12, 2022

C.1. Design and Construction Discussion
C.1.a. Pavement Condition
The City is utilizing a Pavement Rating Index (PRI) to rate the streets from 0 to 100 as follows:
Excellent – PRI 81 to 100
Good – PRI 61 to 80
Poor – PRI 41 to 60
Very Poor – PRI 21 to 40
Failed – PRI 0 to 20
Based on our discussion, we understand the streets were being evaluated at the time of our report.
Although we did not perform a review of pavement surface conditions, using the rating system described
above, we assume the tested streets have likely deteriorated beyond the point of benefiting from any
type of preventive maintenance, such as a seal coat. Instead, we assume the pavements are in need of
some type of major repair that restores surface condition such as mill-and-overlay or FDR.
C.1.b. Discussion of Planned Repairs
As depicted on the map provided in Appendix A, streets depicted in green are planned for FDR. Streets
depicted in blue are also planned for FDR but will also include watermain replacement work.
The FDR process involves pulverizing and blending the existing bituminous pavement along with a
portion of underlying aggregate base. In general, the reclaimed material can either be left in place or
windrowed and stockpiled so that grading, excavation work, utility repairs or stabilization of subgrade
soils can proceed. The left-in-place or replaced reclaim is then compacted and overlaid with bituminous
pavement.
From a design perspective, we provide the following considerations when performing FDR:
Reclamation should not extend into materials that are unsuitable for reclamation, such as
silts and clays. Based on soil and hand auger boring results, underlying subgrade materials
likely consist of clayey soils that should be avoided. During FDR, variation of existing
pavement depth should be anticipated. Adjustments to the reclamation depth will be
required where the pavement section depths change along each street.
City of New Hope
Project B2207599
September 12, 2022
Page 7
Based on the need to match existing curb sections, following reclamation, reclaimed material
should be surface compacted and graded as new aggregate base. Excess material should be
removed to allow the new bituminous overlay to match in-place curb lines. Slightly increasing
the cross slope (crown) of the roadway could be considered to accommodate more reclaim
material and improve drainage.
Streets depicted in red are planned for mill-and-overlay. With a mill-and-overlay repair approach, we
assume reflective cracking may occur quickly. It should be noted that sealing milled surfaces with a Texas
Underseal should slow the progression of reflective cracking.
Within the matrix, based on our testing and review of the available data, the planned repairs are noted
as ideal or marginal. Mill-and-overlay streets with underlying stripping have been noted as marginal
within the matrix. Mill-and-overlay can be performed on these streets; however, the underlying stripping
may shorten the life provided by the repair.
If desired, existing pavements materials that are milled or reclaimed can be used as recycled aggregate
base or as a component to new pavements. We recommend implementing thorough quality control
practices, including frequent sieve analyses, to achieve a desirable gradation of the reclaimed material.
C.2. Full-Depth Reclamation
C.2.a. Pulverization and Compaction
We recommend following MnDOT Specification 2215 for FDR for the reclaiming process.
Recommended reclaim depths are provided in the matrix. As thicknesses vary within the GPR scans,
reclaim depths should be adjusted.
Following reclamation, reclaimed material should be graded to allow for the required bituminous section.
Any excess material should be removed.
Following pulverization of the in-place materials, we recommend all exposed materials be surface
compacted.
City of New Hope
Project B2207599
September 12, 2022
Page 8
C.2.b. Proofroll
Following compaction, we recommend exposed materials be proof rolled to check for the presence of
localized weak areas. The proofroll should be performed with a fully loaded, tandem axle dump truck at
walking speed.
The proofroll should be observed by a geotechnical engineer or qualified observer. Any detected weak
areas should be corrected with a subcut and backfilled with excess reclaimed material or other suitable
material such as MnDOT Class 5 aggregate base or Select Granular.
C.2.c. Design Section
We assume the City’s standard design for FDR will consist of the following pavement section:
3 inches SPWEA240C
Reclaim material (variable).
C.3. Mill-and-Overlay
For streets where mill-and-overlay will be performed, we recommend milling be performed to a depth of
2 to 2 1/2 inches with a minimum recommend thickness of 1 1/2 inches. We recommend a mix consisting
of SPWEA240C.
As previously noted, with a mill-and-overlay repair approach, we assume reflective cracking may occur
quickly. To slow the progression of reflective cracking, the City could consider sealing milled surfaces with
a Texas Underseal prior to the placement of the overlay. Furthermore, where possible, deeper mill
depths will provide additional benefit to the mill-and-overlay approach by helping to prolong reflective
cracking.
C.4. Utilities
C.4.a. Excavation Oversizing
When removing unsuitable materials below utilities or pavements, we recommend extending the
excavation outward and downward at a slope of 1H:1V (horizontal:vertical) or flatter.
City of New Hope
Project B2207599
September 12, 2022
Page 9
C.4.b. Subgrade Stabilization
We anticipate the soils at typical invert elevations will generally be suitable for utility support. However,
if construction encounters unfavorable conditions such as soft clay, organic soils or perched water at
invert grades, the unsuitable soils may require some additional subcutting and replacement with sand or
crushed rock to prepare a proper subgrade for pipe support. If these unsuitable or unstable soils remain
in place, there is a risk of excessive settlement of the utility pipe or structures due to consolidation of the
underlying soft clay soils. If crushed rock is used as pipe bedding, we recommend wrapping the aggregate
in geotextile fabric to prevent the migration of fine-grained materials into the voids of the aggregate.
We recommend a geotechnical engineer observe all utility trench excavations and subcuts.
C.4.c. Excavated Slopes
The on-site soils mostly appear to consist of soils meeting OSHA Type B requirements. In accordance with
OSHA requirements, we recommend excavation side slopes be constructed to lie back at a slope of 1V:1H
or flatter. However, in organic soils, or where saturated soils are present (including saturated sand
seams), excavation side slopes may need to lie back at slopes of 1V:5H or flatter to prevent sloughing.
All excavations must comply with the requirements of OSHA 29 CFR, Part 1926, Subpart P, “Excavations
and Trenches.” This document states that excavation safety is the responsibility of the contractor.
Reference to these OSHA requirements should be included in the project specifications.
C.4.d. Corrosion Potential
Based on our experience, the soils encountered within the borings are moderately corrosive to metallic
conduits. We recommend specifying non-corrosive materials or providing corrosion protection, unless
project planning chooses to perform additional tests to demonstrate the soils are not corrosive.
D. Procedures
D.1. Ground Penetrating Radar
D.1.a. GPR Data Collection
GPR data was collected on August 12, 2022. GPR collection occurred at posted speed limits and data was
recorded continuously along the streets to a depth of up to 2 feet. Analysis of this data provides a
continuous estimate of layer thickness for identifiable layers.
City of New Hope
Project B2207599
September 12, 2022
Page 10
Scans of the pavement were collected according to GSSI, Inc. (manufacturer) SIR-20 processor settings at
a specified interval of approximately one scan per lineal foot in the outer wheel path in a single travel
direction. A calibration file, required for data post-processing, was collected at the onset of testing.
Distance along the roadway is measured using a Distance Measuring Instrument (DMI).
D.1.b. GPR Analysis
Data collected by the GPR unit was returned to our office and analyzed to estimate the pavement
thickness. Pavement layer interpretation was accomplished using RADAN 7.0, a software package
included with the GSSI RoadScan system.
The software includes tools to aid in delineating pavement layer transitions and automatically calculates
their depths from the pavement surface using the calibration file(s) collected prior to or following testing.
Where “ground-truth” data (pavement cores, hand auger borings and soil borings) were performed, the
interpreted layers from the GPR scan were compared directly to the measured thicknesses from the
pavement cores and hand auger borings to validate the accuracy of the GPR analysis.
D.2. Pavement Coring and Hand Auger Borings
Pavement coring and hand auger borings were performed on August 24, 2022. Explorations were
conducted within drive lanes using a 4-inch core barrel. The bituminous pavement was repaired with a
cold-mix bituminous patch immediately after coring.
The cores were measured to obtain approximate bituminous thickness and their material conditions
were noted based on visual observation. Images of the cores can be found in the Core Photo Log
attached to this report in Appendix D.
D.3. Penetration Test Borings
We drilled the penetration test borings with a truck-mounted core and auger drill equipped with hollow-
stem auger. We performed the borings in general accordance with ASTM D6151 taking penetration test
samples at 2 1/2-foot intervals in general accordance to ASTM D1586. The boring logs show the actual
sample intervals and corresponding depths. We also collected bulk samples of auger cuttings at selected
locations for laboratory testing.

Page 11
D.4. Exploration Logs
D.4.a. Log of Boring Sheets
The Appendix includes Log of Boring sheets for our penetration test borings. The logs identify and
describe the penetrated geologic materials and present the results of penetration resistance and other
in-situ tests performed. The logs also present the results of laboratory tests performed on penetration
test samples and groundwater measurements.
We inferred strata boundaries from changes in the penetration test samples and the auger cuttings.
Because we did not perform continuous sampling, the strata boundary depths are only approximate. The
boundary depths likely vary away from the boring locations, and the boundaries themselves may occur as
gradual rather than abrupt transitions.
D.4.b. Geologic Origins
We assigned geologic origins to the materials shown on the logs and referenced within this report, based
on: (1) a review of the background information and reference documents cited above, (2) visual
classification of the various geologic material samples retrieved during the course of our subsurface
exploration, (3) penetration resistance and other in-situ testing performed for the project, (4) laboratory
test results, and (5) available common knowledge of the geologic processes and environments that have
impacted the site and surrounding area in the past.
D.5. Material Classification and Testing
D.5.a. Visual and Manual Classification
We visually and manually classified the geologic materials encountered based on ASTM D2488. When we
performed laboratory classification tests, we used the results to classify the geologic materials in
accordance with ASTM D2487. The Appendix includes a chart explaining the classification system we
used.
D.5.b. Laboratory Testing
The exploration logs in the Appendix note most of the results of the laboratory tests performed on
geologic material samples. The remaining laboratory test results follow the exploration logs. We
performed the tests in general accordance with ASTM or AASHTO procedures.

D.6. Groundwater Measurements
The drillers checked for groundwater while advancing the penetration test borings, and again after auger
withdrawal. We then filled the boreholes, as noted on the boring logs.
E. Qualifications
E.1. Continuity of Professional Responsibility
E.1.a. Plan Review
We based this report on a limited amount of information, and we made a number of assumptions to help
us develop our recommendations. We should be retained to review the geotechnical aspects of the
designs and specifications. This review will allow us to evaluate whether we anticipated the design
correctly, if any design changes affect the validity of our recommendations, and if the design and
specifications correctly interpret and implement our recommendations.
E.1.b. Construction Observations and Testing
We recommend retaining us to perform the required observations and testing during construction as
part of the ongoing geotechnical evaluation. This will allow us to correlate the subsurface conditions
exposed during construction with those encountered by the borings and provide professional continuity
from the design phase to the construction phase. If we do not perform observations and testing during
construction, it becomes the responsibility of others to validate the assumption made during the
preparation of this report and to accept the construction-related geotechnical engineer-of-record
responsibilities.
E.2. Use of Report
This report is for the exclusive use of the addressed parties. Without written approval, we assume no
responsibility to other parties regarding this report. Our evaluation, analyses and recommendations may
not be appropriate for other parties or projects.

Drilling Notes:
Blows/N‐value: Blows indicatethe driving resistance recorded
for each 6‐inch interval. The reported N‐value is the blows per
foot recorded by summing the second and third interval in
accordance with the Standard Penetration Test, ASTM D1586.
PartialPenetration:If the sampler could not be driven
through a full 6‐inch interval, the number of blows for that
partial penetration is shown as #/x" (i.e. 50/2"). The N‐value is
reported as "REF" indicating refusal.
Recovery: Indicates the inches of sample recovered from the
sampled interval. For a standard penetration test, full recovery
is 18", and is 24" for a thinwall/shelby tube sample.
WOH: Indicates the sampler penetrated soil under weight of
hammer and rods alone; driving not required.
WOR: Indicates the sampler penetrated soil under weight of
rods alone; hammer weight and driving not required.
Water Level: Indicates the water level measured by the
drillers either while drilling ( ), at the end of drilling ( ),
or at some time after drilling ( ).
Moisture Content:
Dry:Absence of moisture, dusty, dry to the touch.
Moist: Damp but no visible water.
Wet: Visible free water, usually soil is below water table.

Approved by: Tim Hoyt, Acting City Manager
Originating Department: HR & Admin Services
By: Rich Johnson, Director
Agenda Title
Resolution establishing city’s monthly contribution for health benefits programs effective January 1, 2023
Requested Action
Staff recommends the Council adopt a resolution regarding the city contribution for health benefits programs
for 2023 increasing the monthly amounts as follows:
• $45.00 per month towards the purchase of single health insurance coverage
• $76.00 per month towards the purchase of employee +1 health insurance coverage
• $86.00 per month towards the purchase of family health insurance coverage
Policy/Past Practice
Past practice has been to adjust the city’s contribution based upon the cost of the premiums. Historically, the
city has split the increase in premium with the employee (based on the middle high-deductible plan).
Background
HealthPartners has been the city’s health insurance provider since 2009, and 19 of the past 23 years.
For 2019, 2020, and 2022 the City Council agreed to provide employees with an increase in addition to the
“typical” increase (one-half of the mid-range plan’s premium increase) as the city’s contribution towards
health insurance had fallen below that of its 12 comparable cities. In the years where a shortfall existed, one-
half of the shortfall was implemented each year to reduce the impact on each of the annual budgets.
Although the 2023 health insurance premiums will decrease (by 1.29%), staff has requested an increase to the
city contribution which will bring New Hope to the average of its comparable cities’ contributions.
The city is under contract with HealthPartners through 2024, with a 9% premium cap for 2024. It is important
to note that if the required increase is less than 9% in 2024, the premium increase will be less than the 9% cap.
The proposed increase to the city contribution was presented to the City Council at the September 19, 2022
work session where Council indicated its support.
Please see the attached 2022 to 2023 plans and premiums spreadsheets for more details.
Funding
The cost to implement these changes is included in the proposed 2023 budget.
