City News

To My Shoreview Family: As I write my last letter as mayor, I am overcome with appreciation and pride. When I embarked on this journey in the 70’s, I never imagined what the future would hold. My interest at that time was focused on my young family and working towards enhancing all the natural amenities in Shoreview. I certainly didn’t think that I would have the honor of becoming the longest-standing mayor and being reelected 13 times!

One thing that has given me great pride and satisfaction is our strong and active community. At my first meeting as mayor in 1997, I said that leadership is never singular but comes from all those who come to the table and that remains true. Our community has come to the table again and again to work together to create one of the premiere communities in the twin cities. I truly love this job and you have all made it extremely rewarding.

I want to thank everyone who has contributed to our success as a community. I couldn’t have done this for 26 years without the residents, community volunteers, my fellow councilmembers, and the professional staff.

It has been an honor and a privilege to serve you and I will continue to be involved and helpful in the future. I intend to spend the rest of my life right here in the city I love.

Sandy Martin Mayor of Shoreview

City News 2023 Budget Maintains Essential Services At its September 6, 2022 meeting, the city council adopted a preliminary 2023 tax levy of $15,346,898. This is a 6.90% increase above the 2022 tax levy.

The preliminary tax levy and corresponding capital budget are designed to maintain essential services and programs including: •

Public safety (Ramsey County Sheriff and Lake Johanna Fire Department)

•

Maintaining existing services, programs, and infrastructure

•

Park maintenance and improvements

•

Building inspections

•

Community and economic development

for homeowners

•

Community center operations and recreation programs

Ready to shovel? Keep these tips in mind after a snowfall:

Some of the reasons for the levy increase include increased police and fire costs, employee wages and benefits, and minor increases in the debt service, economic development authority, and capital asset replacement levies.

Winter Weather Guide Snow smart •

Clear snow from your driveway, sidewalk and mailbox area

•

Shovel snow onto your lawn – not into the street

•

Plows work overnight and during the day – don’t park on the street until it’s been cleared from curb to curb

•

Shovel around the nearest fire hydrant and storm sewer

•

Street parking is not permitted from 2-5 am

2023 Budget Hearing

Limit your use of salt – just a teaspoon of road salt can pollute up to five gallons of water. Use salt sparingly and only when the temperature is above 15 degrees. Sweep up any excess before it’s washed into the storm sewers

Monday, December 5 at 7 pm

Energy efficiency

Rental licenses All rental licenses in Shoreview expire on December 31. Applications for a new license must be submitted before January 1. Licenses can be renewed if the property is up to code, the utility bill is current, and no conduct issues are not present.

•

$75 application fee

•

$50 inspection fee if needed

•

$75 late application fee Renew online or contact fcupery@shoreviewmn.gov or 651-490-4669.

WINTER 2023

•

Lock windows, keep curtains open during the day and closed at night, and close fireplace dampers to keep warm air in and cold air out

•

Set your thermostat lower when you’re not home or invest in a smart thermostat that can be set remotely with a smart phone

•

Use a roof rake to remove snow from your roof and help prevent ice dams. Ice dams can cause leaks and extensive damage that is expensive to repair

•

Consider wifi-connected outlets or using timers for lights inside and outside

•

Furnace tune-ups can help prevent malfunctions during severely cold weather

•

Newer windows and doors are more energy efficient than older versions – if you’re considering updating plan ahead for spring or fall installation when temperatures are more moderate.

Green Community Awards All of the 2022 Green Community Award winners have one thing in common: they want to make a difference. A difference not only for themselves but for their families and for future generations. They want to demonstrate to us the benefits and ease of installing solar power or native habitats.

Youssef Rmayti | Lake Ridge Drive Youssef says his daughter inspired him to make a difference. And what a difference he made. He added 42 solar panels on his south facing roof. He didn’t stop there. He replaced the washer and dryer with a high efficiency model, added an electric ondemand water heater, and installed a motion sensor light switch that will automatically turn off lights if no one is in the room.

Kate McWilliams | Tanglewood Drive

For their commitment environmental benefit and public education, the 2022 Green Community Awards are presented to:

Megan & Adam Millsop | Chandler Road Megan used to work in the solar industry and knew about the rebate programs that made their installation affordable. They have designed their set up so they can add solar panels and battery storage in the future. Their home is on a corner lot and neighbors noticed when the panels were being installed.

Megan saw this as an opportunity to inspire others to add solar panels on their homes too.

Kate took a threat and turned it into an opportunity.

Oak wilt began taking out towering oak trees in her parent’s forested lot. Invasive species began taking over the newly clear areas. Kate fenced in a 700 square foot portion of the woods with deer fencing.

She removed the invasives such as buckthorn and garlic mustard and repopulated the area with native species such as Pennsylvania sedge, Columbine, Serviceberry and Ironwood.

Adam Bloemke Not only did Adam put solar panels on his south facing roof, he added a battery storage system.

The panels charge the batteries during the day, and he powers his home, EV, yard and recreational equipment in the evening. As a result, nearly all his electricity needs are met by his solar array.

Each winner has a different set up, but they all have identical advice. Get started now. There are plenty of resources to help. Do a little research and start where you are with what you can do.

Rain Gardens The new destination playground at Shoreview Commons Park has attracted visitors since its construction, with most people focused on the eye-catching structures, unique surfaces, and creative ways to play. Some may have noticed flowers blooming throughout the summer in wood chipped areas. These areas situated in the play space aren’t only beautiful landscaping, but do an important job as well. The seven rain gardens in and around the playground capture and filter storm water that falls on the hard play spaces.

Water that falls on hard surfaces quickly rushes off and can easily flood areas where it pools. This water also carries pollutants with it as it washes away. Rain gardens provide both a place for water to collect before it can soak into the ground and a place to filter out pollutants before it flows to other water bodies. Most of the time there won’t be water visible in the rain gardens, but if you happen to be at Shoreview Commons after a heavy rain, you might notice water collecting in them for a short time before it absorbs into the ground.

Look for these rain gardens and others throughout the city that can be found in yards, parks, and next to parking lots and streets!

Are you looking for ways to add water quality and natural resource improvements to your property?

Your local watershed district can help by providing technical and financial assistance.

Shoreview is part of two watershed districts - check the websites above to find out which one you're located in.

Winter pruning Late winter is the best time to prune trees.

Pruning during the winter reduces the risk for pests or diseases to enter an open wound and harm a tree. In spring, trees are able to heal pruning wounds when they become active as the weather warms.

Oak trees should not be pruned from April through July. This is the highest risk time for spread of oak wilt among oak trees. Oak wilt is a fungal disease that can spread from beetles moving from tree to tree and from roots that are connected underground.

Resident Resources

Home improvement financing for Shoreview residents Loans of up to $50,000 are available through the City of Shoreview to make improvements and repairs to homes, including energy efficiency upgrades.

NeighborWorks Home Partners works with the city to administer this loan program.

There are two types of loans.

Amortizing loans have monthly payments and a low interest rate. Due-on-sale loans are at 0% interest and are paid back when the home is sold, transferred, or no longer owner-occupied as a primary residence. Which type of loan you may qualify for will depend on your household income.

Amortizing loans: These loans are available to homeowners whose income is at or below 120% of Area Median Income (AMI). The maximum loan amount is $50,000.

Due-on-sale loans: These loans are available to homeowners with incomes below 80% of Area Median Income. The maximum due-on-sale loan is $25,000.

Visit shoreviewmn.gov/homeloans for more information.

Sustainable Holidays Are you overwhelmed by shipping boxes, wrapping paper, and leftovers after the holidays are over? Most Americans produce around 8 pounds of trash every day during the holidays. Here are a few tips to keep the slog at bay.

Wrapping

Tree recycling

Wrapping paper with glitter, metal, or tissue cannot be recycled. Reusable gift bags, fabric bags, and paper without glitter and metal are better options.

After the holidays bring your live evergreen tree to the maintenance center for recycling.

Save gift bags, shirt boxes, and even tissue paper to reuse next year.

•

Gifts Consider gifts that offer an experience like gift cards for a day of cross-country skiing or a membership to a local museum.

Check social media for gifts. Not only can you save money, but you might find pre-assembled toys, electronics without a lot of packaging, and vintage items.

Get thrifty. Thrift stores are a great resource beyond clothing - look here for household items, toys, and books.

Find gifts or gift certificates from local businesses. Grab a gift card from your favorite flower shop, coffee shop, bakery, or restaurant.

Cardboard Cardboard can be placed in your recycling cart for regular pick up. If you have more than can fit in the cart, it can also be dropped off at Advanced Disposal (309 Como Avenue).

Evergreen trees only – no wreathes or boughs 4615 Victoria Street N Monday – Friday 7 am – 3 pm

Holiday string lights From December 1, 2022 - January 20, 2023 all Saint Paul Libaries will take broken or burned out holiday string lights for recycling. Visit bit.ly/3LN3aDE for details and locations.

Holiday lights are accepted at mobile household hazardous waste collection sites, and at the year-round household hazardous waste facility (5 Empire Drive).

Pass it on If you have more than you need or want in your home, consider donating items. Senior care centers can often use arts and crafts supplies for programs and residents.

Buy Nothing groups on social media can help your items find a new home and use.

Meeting broadcast schedule Channel 16 broadcasts live city council and

Shoreview Historical Society

planning commission meetings every month.

The Children’s Preventorium first came to my attention, by happenstance, many years ago at the Minnesota Historical Society. I saw a photo of three boys, in diapers and wearing goggles, under a sun lamp. “What,” I asked myself, “is that?”

Live Shoreview City Council Meetings

Now, decades later, I am at work answering that question.

Thanks to the patient ledger that SHS President Jacci Krebsbach saved from destruction, we have a complete list of the some 950 children who passed through the the preventorium between 1915 and 1953. And thanks to Ancestry.com, it is possible to trace almost all of them to the ends of their lives. I’ve traced hundreds so far.

Live Shoreview Planning Commission Meetings Fourth Tuesday of the month at 7 pm

View the full schedule and replay information at shoreviewmn.gov. Council and planning commission meetings can be streamed live at shoreviewmn.gov/agendas.

The story of the preventorium is, on one level, the story of Ramsey County’s response to a bewildering public health threat, tuberculosis. The disease then had no cure, and often spread within families. What to do? Taking children out of their homes into a disease-free environment seemed to make sense. The medical science of the time, 1915, supported this approach. And the results were good – very few of the preventorium kids ever got TB. On another level the story of the preventorium is one of families fractured by the threat of disease. The average stay at the Preventorium was about two years, a long time for a young child, but hundreds stayed much longer – three, four, five, sometimes six or even seven years. Imagine being removed from your home at age six and returning only at age eleven.

I’m writing an article for Ramsey County History magazine, very tentatively scheduled for publication some time in 2023.

It will tell the institutional story and a sampling of the family stories, and there will be lots of photos.

Focus on balancing all muscle groups, strength, and flexibility, with an emphasis on challenging the core muscles with each movement.

Day trip to Minnesota History Center:

Private viewing of the 28th Virginia Battle Flag and self-guided museum tour* It’s a special trip to the MN History Center to see the 28th Virginia Battle Flag that was captured by the First Minnesota Volunteer Infantry Regiment on the third day of the Battle of Gettysburg. In the midst of Pickett's Charge on July 3, 1863, Private Marshall Sherman captured the flag from the 28th Virginia. The flag was turned into the U.S. War Department and cataloged, but by the late 19th century, it was back in Minnesota. Requests from Virginia to have the flag returned have not been successful. This object opens interesting discussions about the ownership of history. *Make sure you attend the First Minnesota Volunteers History seminar listed on page 33!

Participants will learn to skate in a safe and fun environment. This class introduces preliminary moves that will help develop the familiarity, coordination and strength needed to maneuver on skates.

Helpful Tips For Skaters

LEVELS 1 - 2

•

Lace skates more snugly in the middle of the shoe than at the top or bottom for best support

•

Skates should fit correctly – don’t use skates that are too big

•

Keep the blades sharp

•

Wear one pair of lightweight wool or synthetic socks; cotton socks are not suitable for skating

•

If a child does not meet the basic requirements of the level registered for, the instructor will adjust the child’s level

Ages 6+ Our leveled classes encourage participants to trade in hesitation for excitement as their confidence grows with each stride. Participants will focus on skills that build their agility, balance, coordination and speed.

COST

Helmets And Skates For safety, all participants are required to wear helmets. Bike helmets are acceptable.

Helmets and skate rental are NOT available at the rink.
