Open Forum  Staff is not aware of anyone planning to address the Council for the Open Forum.    Item 5.1  The Minnesota Recreation and Parks Association is presenting New Hope with two Awards of  Excellence. One is for the New Year’s Eve Movie at the Ice Arena and the second is for the Urban  Orchard at Little Acre Park involving planting of fruit trees. The Award of Excellence program  recognizes agencies or organizations in Minnesota for outstanding achievements in parks, recreation,  and leisure services. Alyssa Fram will present the awards to the city. Director Rader and I recommend  acceptance.    Item 5.2  This is the annual presentation of the RAVE! Awards. The RAVE! Award recognizes outstanding residential  property maintenance and improvements made by New Hope residential property owners. Due to the  pandemic, award winners were not invited to the council meeting, and the awards will be delivered to their  homes. A judging panel was used to select award recipients. Staff requests that Council thank the judges and  all nominees for their time and effort.    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  The city has received FEMA and CARES Act funding for the COVID‐19 pandemic. Consultation, record  keeping and reporting requirements are necessary. Due to the additional workload, a change order has been  submitted by AEM Financial Services for $25,000. The cost of the change order and other administrative  expenses are eligible for reimbursement with CARES funding. Staff discussed the change order with Council  at its September 21 work session and Council was supportive. I recommend approval of the change order.    Item 6.5  At the September 21 work session, staff shared information with Council regarding RPZs (reduced  pressure zone devices) or backflow prevention devices (on irrigation systems and boilers). The 2015  MN Plumbing Code requires that all RPZs be tested annually and that the results be submitted to the  city. RPZs are required to ensure that water systems do not discharge pollution or contaminated water  back into the city’s water supply. The city issues permits for installation of RPZs but the city does not  have a monitoring program in place. Staff recommends the city contract with Brycer, LLC, to ensure  that the required testing is performed. The city would provide Brycer with the existing RPZ permits  that have been issued; the company would contact permit holders and request inspection records of the  RPZs. If no testing has been conducted, Brycer would require the inspections, on behalf of the city, and  work with a testing agency to ensure the tests get complete. Brycer works directly with the testing  agency and charges them for the testing results, which are required by the state. Property owners can  use any licensed plumber of their choice to do the testing. Director Sargent and I recommend approval.    Item 6.6  This item waives $320 in eight 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 8.1  At the July 27 Council Meeting Council authorized preparation of a feasibility report for construction of  the 2021 infrastructure project. The proposed project includes street and utility improvements between  36th Avenue North to the south, Oregon Avenue North to the west, 42nd Avenue North to the north, and  the city of Crystal border to the east. The work also includes Erickson Drive North. The total estimated  cost for the project is $1.5 to $1.8 depending on whether alternate no. 2 is included. The project will be  funded with street infrastructure funds and utility funds. There are two properties that will be assessed  for the work (Salvation Army and City of New Hope for Lions Park). The city engineer will present the  feasibility report and ask Council to accept the report and call for a public hearing on October 26.  Director Weber and I recommend approval.    Item 12.1  Mayor Hemken will review upcoming meetings and events.    EDA Item 4  The EDA acquired the property at 4215 Louisiana Avenue North in March of 2020 as part of the  scattered site housing program. After the RFP process, Great Buy Homes was selected as the preferred  developer. The proposal includes the highest lot purchase price, the highest projected sale price of the  new home, and the largest finished square footage. The city has experience with Great Buy Homes (six  lots were sold to them over the past four years). The details of the proposal will be presented to the  EDA. Director Sargent and I recommend approval of the agreement with Great Buy Homes.         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.

Mayor Hemken introduced for discussion Item 8.1, Resolution approving Change  Order No. 1 for Visu‐Sewer Contract for the 2020 and 2021 Sewer Lining Project  (Improvement Project No. 1048).    Mr. Dan Boyum, city engineer, explained that sewer lining is performed to reduce  inflow and infiltration (I&I) into the sanitary sewer system. He stated lining the  sanitary sewers is a cost‐effective method of rebuilding the city’s existing  infrastructure. He stated the city has approximately 70 miles of sanitary sewer pipe  and about 11 miles have been lined. He stated 50% of the lining costs are credited  against demand charges, an amount the Metropolitan Council Environmental  Services (MCES) may charge a community for the cost of excess capacity. He  reviewed demand charges from past years.    Mr. Boyum stated the 2020 and 2021 CIP includes $700,000 for lining of the city’s  sanitary sewer collection system ($350,000 per year). The city awarded a contract  on April 27, 2020, with Visu‐Sewer for $321,115.10 for the 2020 and 2021 sewer  lining project. He stated the base bid was favorable and it is beneficial to add  another 3,291 feet to the project for 2020. The city attorney’s office was consulted  and advised that up to 25% of the original contract could be added as a change  order. Staff is recommending a change order of $73,699.25 be approved that would  increase the contract to $394,814.35.     Council Member London inquired of the effectiveness of sewer lining.     Mr. Boyum stated the flow is tracked at the various lift stations in the city. He  pointed out the city receives credit for 50% of the costs against the MCES  surcharge.    Mr. Bernie Weber, director of public works, stated a study was conducted in 2018  near the northwest part of the city and after the lining work is complete, the city  will be able to determine the amount of flow reduction.     Council Member London acknowledged that some I&I is from private lines  between the right‐of‐way and homes. He commented on the costly expense of  requiring a homeowner to update lines as part of the point of sale program. He  requested a cost/benefit analysis. Mr. McDonald stated the city of Golden Valley  has the program and staff can request a copy of their data.    New Hope City Council  September 14, 2020  Page 3   RESOLUTION 2020‐87  Item 8.1  Council Member Elder introduced the following resolution and moved its  adoption: “RESOLUTION APPROVING CHANGE ORDER NO. 1 FOR VISU‐ SEWER CONTRACT FOR THE 2020 AND 2021 SEWER LINING PROJECT  (IMPROVEMENT PROJECT NO. 1048).” The motion for the adoption of the  foregoing resolution was seconded by Council Member Frazier, and upon vote  being taken thereon, the following voted in favor thereof: Hemken, Elder, Frazier,

preliminary EDA levy for 2021.    Mr. Kirk McDonald, city manager, recommended setting the preliminary EDA  levy at $365,000, which is an increase of $17,000 from last year. He stated an EDA  levy must be adopted separate from the city’s base levy. He stated the EDA levy  helps fund redevelopment projects.     Mr. McDonald explained that subsequent to the August work session staff learned  the EDA levy could be set at $381,000, instead of $365,000, based on the total  estimated market value. He noted Council’s objective to keep the total tax levy  increase to a minimum.    Council briefly discussed the proposed EDA levy and agreed to set it at $365,000.  Council Member London commented that a large portion of the EDA budget is to  cover salaries. He noted the initial objective of the EDA levy was to acquire  properties for rehabilitation. He suggested the city increase the number of homes  acquired for redevelopment. City Manager McDonald stated the EDA budget will  be reviewed at the September work session.    RESOLUTION 2020‐88  Item 10.1  Council Member Frazier introduced the following resolution and moved its  adoption: “RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING THE PRELIMINARY EDA LEVY  FOR 2021.” 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, Frazier, Hoffe, London; and the following voted  against the same: None; 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.    2021 PRELIMINARY  BUDGET  Item 10.2  Mayor Hemken introduced for discussion Item 10.2, Resolution approving 2021  proposed general fund budget and preliminary property tax levy, and setting  public hearing date for the 2021 budget and preliminary property tax levy.    Mr. Kirk McDonald, city manager, introduced Vicki Holthaus, a representative of  AEM Financial Solutions, LLC (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 2021 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 a public comment  meeting is proposed for December 7, 2020.  New Hope City Council  September 14, 2020  Page 4     Mr. McDonald reviewed past levies, local government aid and the impact on  equipment replacement funding for years 2018 to 2021. He also reviewed 2021  budget initiatives.    Mr. McDonald stated the proposed 2021 general fund budget is $15,936,977, which  is an increase of $526,427, or 3.4% over the 2020 budget. He noted the major  increases include:    $243,524 to fund 3% increase in wages/benefits including Council salaries   $156,000 increase for phase 1 of police department body and squad camera  purchases (funded by IT reserve)   $85,288 increase in West Metro Fire‐Rescue District JPA   $57,427 increase in central garage charges based on equipment replacement  

$60,000 decrease in elections budget (2021 is not an election year)    Mr. McDonald stated the 2021 budget includes a 5% increase for street  infrastructure levy and a 5% increase for park infrastructure levy plus an  additional $100,000 (for a total of $500,000) to assist with ice arena debt service and  capital improvements. He pointed out the tax rate in New Hope may be higher  than comparable sized cities but New Hope does not assess taxable properties for  street improvements, as street and park infrastructure improvements are paid  through the general property tax levy.    Mr. McDonald reviewed the 2021 budget initiatives:   Continue to provide existing services/programs with current resources.   Utilize $865,307 of LGA in the general fund to help fund equipment  replacement savings at 100% level (not utilized for general operations).   Public safety is a high priority; implement phase 1 purchase of body worn  camera systems and replacement of squad camera systems/software.   Support/coordinate with West Metro Fire‐Rescue District partnership with  Crystal; including emergency preparedness training and support of long‐term  capital plan based on major apparatus report.   Redevelopment of city center and other areas is a high priority as well as  completion of Windsor Ridge single‐family home development.  

Ms. Vicki Holthaus, AEM, reviewed the proposed tax levy. She stated the  preliminary tax levy for the general fund is $10,879,465, which is a $368,034 or 3.5%  increase over the 2020 general fund levy. She stated the overall proposed tax levy  is $17,417,601, which is a 3.4% increase.     She explained the estimated overall impact of the city tax levy on residential  properties ranges from $14 to $43 per year for market values between $150,000 to  $400,000.    Ms. Holthaus reported on 2020 legislative session impacts:  • No levy limits  • 2021 LGA allotment increased from $807,579 to $865,307  • No change in PERA employer retirement contributions for 2021  • Potential grant funding from MN Secretary of State for Election expenses,  including health and safety of officials and voters, public outreach related to  social distancing, facilitation of absentee voting, etc.    Ms. Holthaus illustrated the city’s LGA and city tax rate over the past ten years.  She reported the city’s tax rate is slated to decrease from 64.721% to 62.471%. She  explained how the local tax rate is applied to the tax capacity.     Next Ms. Holthaus reviewed the general fund revenues and expenditures for 2019,  2020 and 2021. She stated if the preliminary 2021 budget is adopted, the city will  maintain a fund balance of 50% of expenditures. She explained a fund balance is  necessary for city operations for the first half of the year, as the city does not receive  any property tax revenue until mid‐year. She stated the overall levy increase is  3.4% compared to last year’s increase of 10.8%. Ms. Holthaus noted LGA will be  used for equipment replacement savings (not to offset general operations).     Ms. Holthaus stated Council and staff will continue to review budgets and  programs to finalize the budget document. She stated the budget meeting for  public comment is December 7, and the Council will consider adoption of the 2021  New Hope City Council  September 14, 2020  Page 6   budget at its meeting of December 14, 2020. She also noted the preliminary budget  and the presentation will be posted on the city’s website.    Council Member London commented on the favorable 62.471% tax rate. He stated  the comprehensive annual financial report (CAFR) and long‐term plan used a rate  of 75%. He questioned whether the lower rate was attributable to increases in  property values. He commented that he believes New Hope’s property values are  20‐40% undervalued, however he noted properties on the west and south areas of  the city are reaching the fair values.     Ms. Holthaus stated the projections are intentionally conservative in terms of  growth.     Mr. McDonald reported he is pleased with the preliminary 2021 budget that  contains an overall levy increase of 3.4%. He reported it is lower than Golden  Valley’s 5.35% tax levy and Crystal’s 6.23% tax levy.    Council thanked staff for the work on the preliminary budget.

Presentation of two Awards of Excellence from Minnesota Recreation and Park Association  Requested Action  Staff requests that the City Council accept these Awards of Excellence from the Minnesota Recreation and  Park Association (MRPA). The first award is being given to the city for the New Year’s Eve Movie at the Ice  Arena in the Programming and Events category. The second award is being given to the city for the Urban  Orchard at Little Acre Park in the Sponsorships and Partnerships category. Alyssa Fram will present the  award on behalf of the MRPA Awards Committee.     Background  Awards of Excellence have been given by the MRPA since 1987. New Hope Parks and Recreation received a  Park and Facility award for the ice arena remodeling project in 1997, a Sponsorship and partnership award  for Opportunity Fest in 2001, an Administrative or Management Strategies award for the Ice Arena Business  Plan in 2005, and a Programming and Events award for the Young Mudder in 2018. The Award of Excellence  program recognizes agencies or organizations in Minnesota for outstanding achievements in parks,  recreation, and leisure services. A current MRPA member must submit the nomination form. The intent of the  program is to either recognize newly implemented projects, programs or initiatives that have occurred  during the previous year (2019 in this case) or for a project that has resulted in substantial change or  improvement to a program, facility, or event. A major goal of the program is to increase public awareness  and appreciation for the excellent parks, trails, recreation and leisure services available throughout  Minnesota.    The New Year’s Eve Movie at the Arena was a fun New Year’s Eve event for families. Recreation Supervisor  Aaron Thelen worked with staff at the New Hope Ice Arena to coordinate the date over winter break. The  movie Aladdin was shown on a jumbo screen on the ice at 1:30 p.m. on the north rink. The Ice Arena staff set  up an open skate on the south rink for families prior to the movie from 12:00‐1:15 p.m., and the Armstrong  Cooper Youth Hockey Association (ACYHA) served concessions to those in attendance. ACYHA was happy  to recruit volunteers to serve concessions for the event.      Additionally, since there is a fee to purchase the movie license, ACYHA was asked if they would sponsor the  movie and they were happy to sponsor and partner on the event with us. Overall feedback was very positive  on the event as we had over 125 people in attendance for the movie and over 115 people in attendance for  open skate before the movie. We plan to offer another movie at the Ice Arena again in the future.    The Urban Orchard at Little Acre Park includes 25 fruit trees that were planted along the trail at the park.   Aaron Thelen, Contract Manager/Forester Shawn Markham, and Streets and Parks Supervisor Andrew  Kramer worked with Hennepin County and The Food Group to make this Orchard a possibility. Staff sent a  Agenda Section Presentations Item Number  5.1    Request for Action, Page 2    letter to the residents asking for volunteers and The Food Group recruited volunteers and also helped  promote the event. On October 5, 2019 a community volunteer tree planting took place. Aaron Thelen, Shawn  Markham, a representative from Hennepin County and various residents in the neighborhood attended the  planting. Feedback from the community was extremely supportive and the residents who assisted in the  planting said they were excited to have this orchard in their community.    The trees for the orchard were donated by Hennepin County and included: Apple, Apricot, Pear and Plum  trees. Over the next few years The Food Group will coordinate pruning classes to teach those in the  community and the City will maintain the area with mulch, mowing and watering the trees as needed. As the  trees begin to grow, representatives from The Food Group and New Hope staff, will work with residents on  proper pruning techniques, through various hands on workshops. Once the trees begin to harvest, residents  will be able to enjoy the fruit or donate the fruit to The Food Group. An Urban Orchard sign has been posted  at Little Acre Park with details on the orchard.        Attachments  

Project Description In 2019 the City of New Hope hosted a New Year’s Eve Movie at the New Hope Ice Arena. The Parks and Recreation department wanted to provide a fun New Year’s Eve event for families, so we showed the movie Aladdin at 1:30pm on a jumbo screen on the north rink. The New Hope Ice Arena staff then set up an open skate on the south rink for families before the movie from 12:00-1:15pm, and the Armstrong Cooper Youth Hockey Association (ACYHA) served concessions to those in attendance. 2. Outline the planning process for the project In the summer of 2019 we started planning programs for our winter recreation brochure and we wanted to provide a new family event during winter break. We were thinking of different ideas and since the city owns a jumbo screen, speakers and the Ice Arena we decided we would show a movie on the ice. Through further discussion we decided to also offer open skate before the movie. Finding a date which had both the north and south rinks available was difficult over winter break but we found the afternoon of New Year’s Eve worked for both rinks. Besides open skate and a movie we also wanted to serve concessions. Since the New Hope Ice Arena is the home arena for the Armstrong Cooper Youth Hockey Association we asked them serve concessions. ACYHA was also happy to recruit volunteers to serve concessions for the event. Additionally, since there is a fee to purchase the movie license we also asked ACYHA if they would sponsor the movie, and they were not only happy to sponsor but they also promoted the event within their organization. On the day of the event Parks and Recreation staff and the Ice Arena staff came a few hours early to set up the movie equipment and also stayed afterwards for cleanup. 3. Outline funding plan for the project including: donations, grants, or public – private funding sources, addressing community capacity if relevant. The funding for the event was minimal as a majority of the equipment is already owned by the city. The city owns the jumbo screen, speakers, DVD player, cables, Ice Arena facility, and the movie is owned by a Parks and Recreation staff member. The movie license to show Aladdin through Swank Motion Pictures is $300.00, but ACYHA was willing to sponsor the event and provided the city with a check for $300.00. If someone attended the event to watch the movie it was free, but the open skate beforehand had an entry fee of $4.00/person. Additionally, if someone wanted to rent skates it was $3.00/person from the arena. The Ice Arena staff was willing to provide staff as the open skate cashier, skate rental assistant and on ice staff. The selling of concessions food was taken care of by ACYHA and they also provided volunteers to work the concessions stand. Lastly, since the event took place during the normal work day there was no additional cost for staff hours for set up and tear down. 4. Explain the level of collaboration involved and with whom. The event would not have been made possible without the coordination and partnership between Parks & Recreation staff and the Ice Arena staff. Between all of us we were able to coordinate the date, time needed for set up, showing, tear down, and staff for open skate. Additionally, ACYHA was a huge partner as they paid for the movie license sponsorship, coordinated volunteers to work in the concessions stand, and promote the event within their organization. 5. Community Support/Impact: Response to or support for the project including attendance, expanded community participation, correspondence, newspaper articles, publicity, proclamations or other examples of public support. Overall feedback was very positive as we had over 125 people in attendance for the movie and over 115 people in attendance for open skate before the movie. Many families and parents approached the staff after the movie finished saying ‘Thank You’ and ‘This was a lot of fun’! As our staff discussed the event afterwards we also thought this was an enjoyable family event, and with such positive feedback we would like to offer this unique event again in the future. We also heard additional feedback from various organizations after the event. A representative from the local Sun Post newspaper attended the event, took pictures of participants skating and then posted the pictures in the Sun Post on January 3, 2020 (photos taken by Alaina Rooker). One of the captions in the photos stated: “Armstrong Cooper Youth Hockey players crowd the rink boards during the afternoon New Year’s open skate in New Hope. Skaters of all experience levels rang in the final day of 2019 on ice at the New Hope Ice Arena, then hung up their skates and snuggled into blankets for a viewing of ‘Aladdin’”. The Armstrong Cooper Youth Hockey Association also took pictures during the event, and on January 3, 2020 ACYHA posted the pictures on their Facebook page and shared: “ACYHA and the community enjoyed Open Skate and Movie on New Year’s Eve day!” 6. Describe why the project is unique or otherwise deserving of an MRPA Award of Excellence, including improved access to services, created new program or facility. I believe the New Year’s Eve Movie at the Arena deserves an MRPA Awards of Excellence as it utilized city resources and creativity to offer a fun event for the community. There has been movies in the park, movies in the pool, and movies in the gym but having a movie on the ice is very unique. As a city we want to offer programs for people of all ages and interests that are fun, engaging with others, and draw people into our community and I believe the Movie at the Arena is one of those events. Since the participant turnout was so high this is something we would like to offer again in the future. I believe this is an event that was unique, memorable for all participants, and also deserves an MRPA Award of Excellence. 7. Include a sample of the publication, if nominating in the “Marketing and Communications” category. N/A 8. Outline the evaluation or review process utilized throughout the project’s implementation and completion highlighting relevant outcomes. During the event city staff spoke with various attendees and each of them said they were having a great time and enjoyed their experience. During the movie staff also saw many participants smiling and singing along to the classic movie songs. Overall we thought this event was a huge success with over 115 participants at the open skate and over 125 participants watching the movie. This was also the largest open skate session at the Ice Arena to date. The attendees also said they loved skating and watching the movie with their families and friends. Additionally, the concessions stand was a big hit as it was busy selling popcorn, hot dogs, pop, and various other snacks before and during the movie. Our goal for the event was to provide a family friendly environment which everyone could have an enjoyable experience and we believe we succeeded in this. As staff we believe this was a positive experience for all and since it went so well we are already starting to look at offering this event again next year. 9. Include your distribution methods, if nominating in “Marketing and Communications” category. N/A 10. Describe any technology used if applicable. During the movie we had a few different pieces of technology that was used. All of the technology items are owned by the city, which was: an inflatable screen, DVD Player, projector, mixing board, speakers and a microphone. Additionally, we were able to dim the lights in the Arena to provide the movie setting. We also used our City website, Parks and Recreation Facebook page and our City’s electronic signboards to promote the event beforehand. Families, come and enjoy the PG movie Aladdin at the New Hope Ice Arena! This movie tells the story of a street rat that pursues the princess of Agrabah and has the help of a powerful genie who can grant him 3 wishes. Sit in the bleach- ers, and bring a blanket, to watch the movie on a jumbo screen on the North rink. Open Skate will be available from 12-1:15pm on the South rink prior to the movie ($4/person). Conces- sions will be sold. Movie is sponsored by Armstrong Cooper Youth Hockey Association.

Project Description The City of New Hope created an Urban Orchard with 25 fruit trees that were planted at Little Acre Park. The New Hope Parks & Recreation and New Hope Public Works departments, along with Hennepin County and The Food Group partnered together to make this Urban Orchard a possibility. The trees for the orchard were donated by Hennepin County and included: Apple, Apricot, Pear, and Plum trees. When the trees begin bearing fruit, the harvest will benefit families in need and the residents of New Hope. 2. Outline the planning process for the project Hennepin County reached out to Parks and Recreation in the fall of 2018 to see if the city expressed interest in a donation of fruit trees to plant in our city. City staff was excited, but not prepared to accept the donation in the short timeframe. This potential partnership initiated discussions among city staff. Staff spent the next few months discussing a plan on where and when we could plant the fruit trees. Early in the summer of 2019 a decision was made that green space outside of the youth baseball field and next to the walking path at New Hope’s Little Acre Park would be an ideal location. While Hennepin County and New Hope staff were discussing the donation of fruit trees, Hennepin County also requested the city to recruit volunteers in the community to help plant the trees. The decision was made that the best time to plant these trees was late in the fall of 2019. This decision addressed the best timing for the health of the trees and a time where all involved groups could come together to enact the planting plan. In September, we sent a letter to the neighborhood surrounding Little Acre Park detailing the project and asked for volunteers to help plant the trees. Staff also contacted The Food Group, which is a local nonprofit focused on using nutritious food to strengthen community, to see if they would help in this project. The Food Group was happy to help, provided a staff member who took lead, promoted the event and recruited volunteers for the planting. 3. Outline funding plan for the project including: donations, grants, or public – private funding sources, addressing community capacity if relevant. Everything needed for the Urban Orchard was donated, free, or were supplies that were already owned by the different participating groups. There was no cost for the 25 fruit trees as they were donated by Hennepin County. Materials and supplies needed to plant the trees (shovels, rakes, stakes, and string) were provided by New Hope Public Works Department and Hennepin County. Time invested to plant trees was from volunteer hours from residents and staff time. Long term care of the trees will be primarily provided by New Hope staff. The Public Works department will maintain the area with mulch, mowing and watering the trees as needed. As the trees begin to grow, representatives from The Food Group and New Hope staff, will work with New Hope residents on proper pruning techniques, through various hands on workshops. Then once the trees begin to harvest residents will be able to enjoy the fruit or donate the fruit to The Food Group. 4. Explain the level of collaboration involved and with whom. The urban orchard would not have been possible without the partnership between New Hope Parks & Recreation, New Hope Public Works, Hennepin County and The Food Group. The Parks & Recreation department and Hennepin County staff coordinated the event. The New Hope City Forester, was able to provide insight and knowledge during the planning phase of the urban orchard. The Forester mapped out and staked the area for the location of the trees. Hennepin County came out the day before the planting and pre-dug holes where the trees were planted. Additionally, the Public Works department will provide regular mowing, provide water for the trees and monitor the orchard. The Food Group and neighbors of Little Acre Park have also committed to regularly observe the orchard, harvest ripe fruit once available, bring fruit home to enjoy and distribute to The Food Group’s network of food shelf partners. Along with regularly observations of the orchard, The Food Group will perform annual pruning for 2 years and facilitate pruning classes at the orchard for volunteers who wish to learn more and help at the orchard. 5. Community Support/Impact: Response to or support for the project including attendance, expanded community participation, correspondence, newspaper articles, publicity, proclamations or other examples of public support. Overall, feedback from the community was extremely supportive and positive about the urban orchard. Unfortunately, due to the nature of the season, the day of the planting was raining and cold. The event still drew more volunteers than expected, and the planting was a great success. In total there were 9 people at the event to assist in the planting. Representatives from Parks & Recreation, Public Works, Hennepin County, The Food Group and residents of the Little Acre Park neighborhood were in attendance. Each of the residents that attended said they were happy to help plant because they were excited to have this orchard in their community and be in a location that is within walking distance of their homes. Some of the residents also said there were other neighbors interested in planting but were unavailable that day, so they were willing to assist with future observation of the orchard. Additionally, on the day of the event Hennepin County informed us that instead of the 21 fruit trees they were bringing they actually delivered 25 fruit trees. Everyone at the planting was more than willing to help dig a few extra holes for the additional trees. Here is a copy of the letter that was mailed to residents inviting them to attend the fruit tree planting: Dear Neighbors of Little Acre Park, We hope you enjoyed your summer and are looking forward to the fall as much as we are! City of New Hope staff would like to inform you of some of exciting news involving Little Acre Park this fall. The City of New Hope will receive 21 Fruit Trees (Apple, Apricot, Pear, and Plum) donated by Hennepin County. The city will be planting these trees in proximity to the trail at Little Acre Park. The City of New Hope is/will be partnering with Hennepin County, local residents and “The Food Group”, a local nonprofit focused on using nutritious food to strengthen community. Together, we will assist in the planting, as well as pruning and harvesting of the trees. As a neighborhood resident of Little Acre Park, we would like to invite you and your neighbors to attend the fruit tree planting on Saturday, October 5th at 10:00am. If you are interested and available in helping or watching these trees be planted please RSVP to the Volunteer Portal on The Food Group’s website: https://thefoodgroupmn.volunteerhub.com/ or to Danielle Piraino with The Food Group at 763-450-3872 by October 2nd. By RSVP’ing this helps us know how many supplies to bring along with this day. Thanks and have a great day! 6. Describe why the project is unique or otherwise deserving of an MRPA Award of Excellence, including improved access to services, created new program or facility. I believe our urban orchard deserves an MRPA Award of Excellence because it is a very unique and special amenity in New Hope. It provides a beautiful viewing feature in our park, and it provides residents opportunities to volunteer and care for Little Acre Park. Additionally, once the fruit trees start harvesting the neighbors of Little Acre Park and The Food Group will be able to enjoy the fruit and help distribute the fruit to The Food Group’s network of food shelf partners. As a City, we continue to help and support those in our community. This orchard provides a space which provides both help and support. Lastly, the collaboration between the different organizations shows how our city desires to form bonds and partnerships with those around us. 7. Include a sample of the publication, if nominating in the “Marketing and Communications” category. N/A 8. Outline the evaluation or review process utilized throughout the project’s implementation and completion highlighting relevant outcomes. During the planting event city staff spoke with the neighborhood volunteers about the future efforts to ensure the continued success of the urban orchard. All residents were very happy to assist in the planting and expressed interest in any future work being done at the orchard. A few days after the event, Parks & Recreation and Public Works staff also sat down to discuss the event. We believe this event and project was well received from the neighbors. This was evident in seeing many volunteers come out in the rain and cold to help with the project. As the trees grow and are harvested, we will continue to keep in contact with The Food Group and the neighbors of the park to see how much fruit is produced and donated. 9. Include your distribution methods, if nominating in “Marketing and Communications” category. N/A 10. Describe any technology used if applicable.

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 Gina Swanson has requested that the city waive $320 in  fees for eight temporary sign permits (issued for seven days each) between September 24, 2020, and  November 30, 2020. 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.  Attachments   Sign Permit Application    Agenda Section Consent Item Number  6.6  I:\RFA\PUBWORKS\2020\Council\1054 2021 Infrastructure Improvement Project\9‐28 approve feasibility schedule PH  Request for Action  September 28, 2020    Approved by: Kirk McDonald, City Manager  Originating Department: Public Works  By: Bernie Weber, Public Works Director    Agenda Title  Resolution Accepting Feasibility Report on 2021 Infrastructure Improvements Project and calling for a  public hearing to consider ordering project (Improvement Project no. 1054)    Requested Action  Staff recommends that Council first receive presentation regarding the feasibility report and then  accept the feasibility report on 2021 infrastructure improvements project (improvement project no.  1054) 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 2021 project includes streets in the Lions Park neighborhood and Erickson  Drive, as shown on the attached project map. Streets included in the project were recommended based upon  pavement conditions identified in the 2019 Pavement Management Plan as well as underlying utility  condition.     The improvements identified include utility replacement on Oregon Avenue North as well as the mill and  overlay or reclaim and overlay of 3.17 miles of pavement. The type of improvement required is determined by  the existing condition of the pavement, road subgrade as well as the condition of the underlying utilities. In  general, roads identified for a mill and overlay (shown in green on the attached project map) were selected due  to the presence of petromat in the road base. As experienced in past projects, petromat is a fabric material  placed between the layers of bituminous pavement to provide strength in the street and reduce cracking.  Although this material extended the original pavement life, it does require additional costs to remove and  dispose. These streets will be milled above the petromat layer in the pavement, to leave the petromat  undisturbed, and then paved. All streets that do not have petromat are proposed as reclaim and overlay streets  (shown in orange on the attached project map).     Utility improvements on the mill and overlay and reclaim and overlay streets will include the replacement of  the sewer manhole lids to reduce inflow and infiltration. The feasibility report also recommends the  replacement of the water main located on Oregon Avenue North between 38th and 39th avenues. This section  of water main has a history of many water breaks as shown on the attached Water Break History map, and  should be replaced prior to any pavement rehabilitation.     In addition to water and sewer repairs, there are two areas of storm sewer repair and replacement identified in  the report. The intersection of 38th Avenue North and Maryland Avenue North has a history of significant  flooding. Storm sewer is proposed to be installed in this intersection to alleviate flooding issues. Additionally,  the storm sewer located on Oregon Avenue between 40th and 42nd avenues has significant structural issues.  Agenda Section Development &  Planning Item Number  8.1    Request for Action, Page 2 Two alternates are proposed in the feasibility: Alternate 1 which details the costs for sliplining the storm sewer  pipe, and Alternate 2 which details the cost for open‐cut replacement of the storm sewer pipe.     The city of Crystal plans to conduct additional work on the adjacent neighborhood to the east of Louisiana  Avenue North in 2021, as shown in green and in red on the attached project map.     This feasibility report identifies all tax‐exempt properties that will be affected by this work and provides an  estimated assessment rate for these properties. These assessments will be one funding source for the project. If  the report is approved, a public hearing could be held at the October 26, 2019 council meeting.    A notice has been sent to neighbors along the project area to make them aware of the feasibility report  discussion on September 28 Council Meeting.  Residents are invited to submit any comments or questions  regarding the project prior to the Public Hearing.     Funding  The total project cost estimate for work proposed in the feasibility report is $1,504,518.34 (Base Bid). If the two  storm alternates associated with the sliplining or open‐cut replacement of the storm sewer line on Oregon  Avenue are awarded, the total project cost would increase to $1,797,668.34 (Base Bid + Alternate 1 (Slipline  Oregon Storm Sewer)) or $1,849,879.59 (Base Bid + Alternate 2 (Open‐cut Oregon Storm Sewer). The majority  of the project will be funded by the city’s street infrastructure and enterprise funds, as well as assessments to  tax‐exempt properties.     Project Cost Summary with Alternate 1

The project generally consists of street and utility improvements between 36th Avenue North to the south, Oregon Avenue North to the west, 42nd Avenue North to the north, and the City of Crystal border to the east. The work also includes Erickson Drive North (see attached project streets map). The estimated total project cost for the street, water main, sanitary sewer, and storm sewer improvements, including indirect costs, is approximately $1.850 million as shown below. This compares to the Capital Improvements Plan (CIP) estimate of $1.871 million. The total estimated project costs come under the CIP Budget, but the Sanitary and Storm Water estimates are higher than the CIP Budget. Funding Source Current Feasibility Report Estimate Capital Improvements Plan (CIP) Budget Amount Difference Mill and Overlay $739,072.49 $1,521,331.00 $319,140.66 Reclaim and Overlay $463,117.85 Water fund $99,827.00 $100,000.00 $173.00 Sanitary Sewer fund $95,810.00 $50,000.00 ($45,810.00) Storm Water fund – Base Bid + Alternate 2 $452,052.25 $200,000.00 ($252,052.25) Total Project Costs $1,849,879.59 $1,871,331.60 $21,451.41 The costs in the feasibility report is higher on sanitary sewer and storm sewer items due to:  we estimated that all of the sanitary sewer structures will require removal and replacement of the existing frames and rings. These structures will be reviewed further during design to confirm if all of them will need this work done or if the final number will be less.  some of the storm sewer improvements included in the study were not included in the original scope of storm sewer work initially proposed with the 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. September 22, 2020 Mr. Bernie Weber Page 2 of 2 Reference: 2020 Infrastructure Improvements – Presentation of Feasibility Report The Public Hearing be conducted at the October 26th Council Meeting. It is recommended a summary of the project scope be presented at the hearing along with the proposed assessment roll. Using cost estimates prepared for the report, assessment amounts were calculated for assessable properties within the project area. Because one property is a wetland, we did not include that property as an assessable property. The assessable properties and corresponding estimated assessments are shown in the table below: Owner Address Assessment Amount 1 The Salvation Army 4860 Erickson Drive North $4,106.85 2 City of New Hope (Lions Park) 3810 Oregon Avenue North $4,106.85 Total $8,213.70 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 2021 Infrastructure Improvements at the October 26th, 2020 meeting. Bids would be received on or around February 2021, construction work done in 2021, and substantial completion of the project in Fall 2021 with final completion in Spring/Summer 2022. A notice has been sent to neighbors along the project area to make them aware of the feasibility report discussion on September 28, 2020 Council Meeting. Neighborhood meetings are typically held if project streets are proposed for reconstruction. Since no streets are planned for reconstruction, a neighborhood meeting is not being proposed for this project at this time.

The general location of the work includes streets between 36th Avenue N to the south, Oregon Avenue N to the west, 42nd Avenue N to the north, and the City of Crystal border to the east. The work also includes Erickson Drive N. Streets included in the project were recommended based upon the current condition of the pavement and underlying utilities. The improvements identified include utility replacement on Oregon Avenue North, 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. We recommend this report be presented and discussed at the September 28, 2020, Council meeting. Respectfully submitted, STANTEC CONSULTING SERVICES, INC. Dan D. Boyum, P.E.

INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENT PROJECT INTRODUCTION The purpose of this report is to investigate the feasibility of performing improvements to reconstruct/rehabilitate existing local streets and local utilities within the proposed project area shown on Figure 1. 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. Full reconstruction of the streets is to be completed with streets showing significant roadway subgrade and drainage issues, as well as those having a significant amount of utility issues. Utility rehabilitation on the overlay streets will be limited in efforts to build up water and other utility funds. 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 utility improvements and a total of approximately 3.17 miles of mill and overlay and reclaim and overlay street and parking lot improvements. 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 records have been reviewed and field inspections were performed on the structures and pipes to identify warranted storm sewer and sanitary sewer improvement work in the project area. Overall, the condition of the existing storm and sanitary systems in the mill and overlay segments is fair. Several deteriorating storm structures and specific sanitary pipe issues have been identified. The streets in the project area were rated in Fall of 2018 and Spring 2019 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 in good condition. The table below is a summary of the PRI ratings for the project area. TABLE 1 –PAVEMENT RATING INDEX (PRI)SUMMARY PRI Range Rating Description Length in Feet Length in Miles 0-20 Failing 0 0 21-40 Very Poor 0 0 41-60 Poor 16,533 3.17 61-80 Good 0 0 81-100 Excellent 0 0 Totals 16,533 3.17 AVERAGE PRI = 52 Figure 2 shows the pavement ratings for each street within this project area. In addition to the PRI ratings, soil borings and ground penetrating radar have been completed to assist us in further understanding the existing street section characteristics. 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. As experienced in past projects, Petromat material has been found within some of the existing pavement sections. 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. Although this material extended the original pavement life, Petromat does require additional costs to remove and dispose. As such, field staff investigated several areas to determine if Petromat is in the road sections. Following the investigation of the proposed improvement area, Petromat was discovered on many of the streets previously planned for Full-depth reclamation. As a result of the field findings, the improvement method for some streets has been revised. The Pavement and Geotechnical Evaluation Report, completed by Braun Intertec dated September 11, 2020 is included in Appendix C of this report.

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 on Oregon Avenue between 38th and 39th Avenue. The water main will be replaced in this area; however, only the trench of the water main will be reconstructed. The remaining streets will receive a 1.5” mill and overlay.

Two different potential 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 o Poor street and underlying base conditions that cannot be significantly improved by mill & overlay o Very poor PRI rating – failing base and wear course pavement o Limited or lesser amount of water main breaks than full reconstruct streets o Additional storm sewer 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 reconstruct streets o Minimal utility improvements required Miscellaneous Boulevards disturbed by construction in all areas will be graded, shaped, and restored. New 6-inch thick concrete driveway aprons will be constructed to a distance of 5-feet behind the curb. All traffic signs within the project limits will be replaced, as signs and posts will continue to be updated to meet 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. FULL-DEPTH RECLAMATION 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. There will be some improvements to the existing storm sewer system as well. Table 3 below summarizes the areas identified to be reclaimed.

The depth of the mill and overlay has been determined by the presence of Petromat paving fabric. If Petromat was not discovered during the preliminary pavement cores, a city standard full-depth reclamation was planned. The full width mill and overlay increases structural strength of the road. 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. The following streets as well as Lion’s Park parking lot are recommended to be rehabilitated with a full width mill and overlay.

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 as a result of a low centerline crown, as well as the 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.

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. City of New Hope Stantec Project No: 193805078 2021 Infrastructure Improvements Page 17 CITY OF NEW HOPE – 2021 INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENT PROJECT 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. Figure 4 shows the history of water main breaks throughout the project area. Mill and Overlay The proposed water main improvements can be seen in Figure 6, located on Oregon Avenue North between 38th Avenue North and 39th Avenue North. In this area, the number of consecutive breaks is driving the replacement of the watermain in this area. Being the street improvement type will remain mill & overlay, services and curb stops will not be replaced. 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 watermain in this area will include new hydrants and gate valves in the area. Alternative methods of watermain installation including trenchless directional drilling or pipe-bursting can be investigated during the design stage and bid as alternates if appropriate. Any breaks that may occur in the future will require repair and patching of the roadway. The primary goal of the mill and overlay improvements is to improve driving surface and not spend funds on utility replacement until the scheduled reconstruction of these streets.

There is one length of sanitary main that Staff identified for lining between the manhole connecting the park shelter service and the manhole located at the corner of Oregon Avenue North and 38th Avenue North. This same corner manhole has also been identified as having inflow and infiltration between the sections on the pre-cast structure. Staff will plan on bidding out this work in 2021 with a lining contractor. By lining both these items, it will alleviate a known source of Inflow and Infiltration (I&I). 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.

The storm facilities on Erickson Drive were installed more recently and have been found to be in good operational condition. Some cost has been allocated to remove and replace several storm sewer casting, frame and rings for structures that are determined to be in critical structural condition. In addition, storm drainage issues are known to occur at the intersection of Maryland Avenue North and 38th Avenue North. Currently there are not any storm structures located in this intersection causing significant surface pooling which affects driver safety and impacts the long-term integrity of the curb and gutter and pavement from the standing water. Upon field investigation, the low points are located at each mid-rad of the curb at each corner. It is proposed to install storm inlet structures on each quadrant corner of the intersection and use a sump structure before the new portion of storm run-off connects with the existing system. The impact of these improvements to the surrounding areas will be isolated to this intersection. To connect to the existing storm system while not negatively impacting Lion’s Park and fields, the connecting pipe will be installed using a trenchless directional drill method. It is recommended to complete these improvements with this project. Another storm improvement proposed is to address a length of 18” corrugated metal pipe (CMP) that has become mostly clogged from sedimentation and is effectively non-functioning. The CMP pipe is also suspected to have deteriorated and requires attention before critical structural failure occurs. The suggested method for addressing the approximate 1,200 lineal feet of pipe is to first clean the sediment from the system, followed by sliplining or pulling a new pipe into the existing CMP pipe. MnDOT and other agencies have used sliplining as a trenchless, cost-effective option to extend the service life of an existing pipe and avoid digging up a street/roadway. The other option would be to open cut and replace the existing pipe that is no longer working and deteriorating. We have looked at both of those options in the report and are treating both options as alternates. During the design phase of this project, additional localized drainage issues may be reviewed to be completed within this project or added to a future backyard drainage project. Figure 8 identifies storm sewer structures within the project area with the proposed storm improvements. STORMWATER MANAGEMENT This project lies within the Bassett Creek Watershed. As this project does not propose to create more than one acre of fully reconstructed impervious surface, the Bassett Creek Watershed Management Commission (BCWMC) requirements for improvements and development proposals do not apply. Rain Gardens Rain 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 and lawns with rainwater. Rain gardens also reduce peak flows during storm events. Potential locations for rain gardens will be identified during the design process. The criteria used in determining the potential rain garden locations include the following: City of New Hope Stantec Project No: 193805078 2021 Infrastructure Improvements Page 22 ·Catch basin, existing water body, or drain tile near proposed location to allow discharge from the rain garden drain tile. ·Existing slopes allowing for a rain garden without the need to install a retaining wall. ·Existing space acceptable for a rain garden (some locations may be limited by existing sidewalks, mature trees, or right of way constraints. Property owners that indicate a desire to have a rain garden will be contacted, and the area analyzed to determine if a rain garden option will work at a given location during the design phase. Storm Sump Structures Storm Sump structures are storm structures that allow for separation of sediments by having a reservoir that holds the storm water before out letting to the remainder of the storm system. One sump structure is planned to be installed as the last structure before connecting to the existing storm system at the intersection of Maryland Avenue North and 38th Avenue North. The sump structure will be outfitted with guardian or ‘snout’ outlet which prevents trash and other debris from continuing down the storm system. There are several requirements set forth in the City of New Hope’s Local Water Management Plan (LWMP) that this project must adhere to. These include the following: ·Use a 10-year rainfall event as the minimum criteria for all storm water conveyance facility designs. ·Establish and maintain overflow routes from storm water basins and low areas to provide relief during storm conditions which exceed design conditions, where possible.

Introduction A.1. Project Description This Pavement and Geotechnical Evaluation Report addresses the City of New Hope’s 2021 Infrastructure Improvement Projects. The streets included total approximately 3.3 miles in length and have a bituminous surface. The project includes Full-Depth Reclamation (FDR), with the exception of one small reconstruction area on Oregon Ave N where watermain replacement work will be performed. Stormwater repairs are planned for the 38th Ave N and Maryland Ave N intersection, and curb replacement work will be performed in areas where drainage issues exist. It was requested that we perform Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR), pavement cores and hand auger borings. Table 1 provides additional project details. Table 1. Site Aspects and Grading Description Aspect Description Pavement type(s) Bituminous Assumed pavement loads 100,000 ESALs* Grade changes Given the presence of curb and gutter, we assume existing grades will be met *Equivalent 18,000-lb single axle loads based on 20-year design. 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: City of New Hope Project B2006966 September 11, 2020 Page 2  Sketch indicating the streets to be tested and recommended exploration locations, as provided by Stantec.  Aerial Maps available from Google Earth®.  USDA Websoil survey of Hennepin County.  Pavement management data provided by Stantec.  City of New Hope Plate No.STR-40 (Residential Typical Street Section) provided by Stantec. 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 QTB124650 to Mr. Bernie Weber, dated August 3, 2020, and authorized on August 6, 2020. The following list describes the tasks completed in accordance with our authorized scope of services.  Estimating pavement thickness data on each street in a single direction of travel with an air- coupled Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR).  Conducting bituminous pavement coring and hand auger borings in 22 locations on the streets, noting their conditions and measuring their thicknesses.  Preparing this report containing our findings and recommendations for pavement rehabilitation. City of New Hope Project B2006966 September 11, 2020 Page 3 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 and hand auger 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 are provided in the matrix include in Appendix E. 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 On streets planned for FDR and reconstruction, we performed 22 pavement core and hand auger borings. All explorations were performed within drive lanes at locations initially recommended by Stantec. Following analysis of the GPR data, Braun Intertec revised a few of the locations based on the preliminary GPR results. A final map of exploration locations is provided in Appendix B. Information from the cores and hand auger borings was used to obtain 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 E. Although not tested, underlying subbase materials appeared to consist of brown and gray clayey soils. As noted in the matrix, many of the pavement cores encountered Petromat™ paving fabric, which was previously placed on some streets to help slow the progression of reflective cracking. The depth of the fabric varied from approximately 2 inches to 4 1/4 inches deep, as noted in the matrix. Also noted is whether or not stripping was observed within the pavement core. 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 B2006966 September 11, 2020 Page 4 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. Photographs of the pavement cores are provided in Appendix D. C. Recommendations 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. However, it was noted the PRI ratings for the streets planned for repair are in poor condition. 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. Depending on underlying conditions, applicable repairs may include mill-and-overlay, FDR or removal and replacement. C.1.b. Discussion of Planned Repairs As depicted in blue on the map provided in Appendix A, we understand that the planned repair for the segment on Oregon Ave N between 38th Ave N and 39th Ave N includes reconstruction or full-depth replacement. In this area, the existing pavement layers, fabric and drain tile will be removed and fully replaced. Watermain replacement work will also be performed. City of New Hope Project B2006966 September 11, 2020 Page 5 Streets depicted in green on the map in Appendix A are planned for FDR. 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 be performed where paving fabric exists. Reclamation should also 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.  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. In addition to the repairs discussed above, stormwater repairs are planned for the 38th Ave N and Maryland Ave N intersection, and curb replacement work will be performed in areas where drainage issues exist. Although mill-and-overlay is not shown on the planned repair map, given the presence of underlying paving fabric and the desire to leave it in place, we understand mill-and-overlay will be performed instead of FDR. With a mill-and-overlay repair approach, we assume reflective cracking may occur quickly. It should be noting that the paving fabric 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, marginal, or poor. Mill-and-overlay streets with moderate to severe stripping have been noted as poor within the matrix. Mill-and-overlay can be performed on these streets, however, the underlying stripping may shorten the life provided by the repair. As noted in the matrix, a deeper mill of 3 to 4 inches is recommended for streets where the fabric is deeper. Performing a deeper mill-and-overlay will provide additional benefit to the mill-and-overlay approach. City of New Hope Project B2006966 September 11, 2020 Page 6 C.1.c. Pavement Reuse If desired, the existing pavements can be milled or reclaimed for use 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. Reconstruction C.2.a. Subgrade Preparation and Proofroll Based on a websoil survey and hand auger boring results, we anticipate pavement subgrades will generally consist of clayey sand and sandy lean clay. Since grade changes are not proposed, subgrade soils on Oregon Ave N will generally be suitable for pavement support. However, it should be noted that clayey and silty soils will be highly susceptible to strength loss upon exposure to moisture or traffic. Depending on conditions at the time of excavations, watering or drying (moisture conditioning) of the clayey and silty soils may be necessary to achieve the recommended levels of compaction. These soils may require subcutting and replacement with imported, engineered material. To improve drainage and reduce frost heave, the City standard section for reconstruction includes 18 inches of select granular, geotextile fabric and drain tile. We recommend drain tile be trenched at least 8 inches below the aggregate base (or subbase), wrapped in filter fabric and backfilled with highly permeable aggregate. After preparing the subgrade and prior to the placement of the aggregate base, we recommend proofrolling the subgrade soils with a fully loaded tandem-axle truck. We also recommend having a geotechnical representative observe the proofroll. Areas that fail the proofroll likely indicate soft or weak areas that will require additional soil correction work to support pavements. The contractor should correct areas that display excessive yielding or rutting more than 1 inch during the proofroll, as determined by the geotechnical representative. Possible options for subgrade correction include moisture conditioning and recompaction, subcutting and replacement with soil or crushed aggregate, chemical stabilization and/or geotextiles. We recommend performing a second proofroll after the aggregate base material is in place, and prior to placing bituminous pavement. C.2.b. Engineered Fill Materials and Compaction Table 2 below contains our recommendations for fill materials. City of New Hope Project B2006966 September 11, 2020 Page 7 If any clayey soils or silty sands are used as fill, the contractor may have more difficulty compacting those soils if they become wet or allowed to become wet, or if spread and compacted over wet surfaces. In these cases, the soils will need to be moisture conditioned prior to compaction, or imported fill that consists of clean sands should be used as fill. Table 2. Engineered Fill Materials* Locations To Be Used Engineered Fill Classification Possible Soil Type Descriptions Gradation Additional Requirements Pavements Pavement fill SM, SC, CL, SP, SP-SM 100% passing 3-inch sieve Organic Content (OC) < 5% Plasticity Index (PI) < 15% Below landscaped surfaces, where subsidence is not a concern Non-structural fill 100% passing 6-inch sieve < 10% OC *More select soils comprised of coarse sands with < 5% passing #200 sieve may be needed to accommodate work occurring in periods of wet or freezing weather. We recommend spreading engineered fill in loose lifts of approximately 12 inches thick. We recommend compacting engineered fill in accordance with the criteria presented below in Table 3. Table 3. Compaction Recommendations Summary Reference Relative Compaction, percent (ASTM D698 – Standard Proctor) Moisture Content Variance from Optimum, percentage points < 12% Passing #200 Sieve (typically SP, SP-SM, SP-SC) > 12% Passing #200 Sieve (typically CL, SC, SM) Within 3 feet of pavement subgrade 100 ±3 -1 to +3 More than 3 feet below pavement subgrade, utility trench backfill 95 ±3 ±3 Below landscaped surfaces 90 ±5 ±4 *Increase compaction requirement to meet compaction required for structure supported by this engineered fill. City of New Hope Project B2006966 September 11, 2020 Page 8 The project documents should not allow the contractor to use frozen material as engineered fill or to place engineered fill on frozen material. Frost should not penetrate under foundations during construction. We recommend performing density tests in engineered fill to evaluate if the contractors are effectively compacting the soil and meeting project requirements. C.2.c. Design Section Based on information provided, we understand the City’s standard design for reconstruction of residential roadways consists of the following pavement section:  1.5 inches SPWEA240C  2 inches SPNWB230B  8 inches Class 5 aggregate base  18 inches select granular  Geotextile fabric, Type V We recommend requirements outlined in MnDOT Specification 2360. We recommend tack coat meeting MnDOT Specification 2357 as required between lifts as well as placed along vertical faces where paving will match adjacent pavement. C.3. Full Depth Reclamation (FDR) C.3.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 B2006966 September 11, 2020 Page 9 C.3.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.3.c. Design Section Based on information provided, we understand the City’s standard design for FDR will consist of the following pavement section:  3 inches SPWEA240C  Reclaim material (variable). C.4. Mill-and-Overlay For streets where mill-and-overlay will be performed, we recommend a minimum of 1 1/2 inches. We recommend deeper depths on streets with deeper paving fabric. We recommend a mix consisting of SPWEA240C. C.5. Utilities C.5.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. C.5.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 City of New Hope Project B2006966 September 11, 2020 Page 10 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.5.c. Excavated Slopes Based on the hand auger borings, we anticipate the majority of on-site soils in excavations will consist of fill and/or native clayey sands or sandy lean clay. These soils are typically considered Type C Soil under OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) guidelines. OSHA guidelines indicate unsupported excavations in Type C soils should have a gradient no steeper than 1 1/2H:1V. Slopes constructed in this manner may still exhibit surface sloughing. OSHA requires an engineer to evaluate slopes or excavations over 20 feet in depth. An OSHA-approved qualified person should review the soil classification in the field. Excavations must comply with the requirements of OSHA 29 CFR, Part 1926, Subpart P, “Excavations and Trenches.” This document states excavation safety is the responsibility of the contractor. The project specifications should reference these OSHA requirements. C.5.d. Selection, Placement and Compaction of Backfill We recommend compacting backfill placed above and below utilities to a minimum of 95 percent of standard Proctor density. The exception is within 3 feet vertically of pavement subgrades, where the minimum compaction level should be increased to 100 percent. The fill should be within 3 percentage points of its optimum moisture content for sands; clays should only exceed their optimum moisture contents by 1 percent. To achieve compaction over wet subgrades, we recommend the use of sands or gravel with less than 5 percent by weight passing the number 200 sieve and less than 50 percent passing the number 40 sieve. C.5.e. 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. City of New Hope Project B2006966 September 11, 2020 Page 11 D. Procedures D.1. Ground Penetrating Radar D.1.a. GPR Data Collection GPR data was collected on August 7, 2020. 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. 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 and hand auger 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 28, 2020. 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. City of New Hope Project B2006966 September 11, 2020 Page 12 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. E.3.
