PUBLIC COMMENTS
Mr. Lesley Fishman, Hunter Lane, stated he is a doctor
and that he had great difficulty in driving to the
hospital following the Storm of the Century because
Hunter Lane had not been plowed by Saturday morning.
Page No. 3147
November 5, 1991
He questioned if the City has an official snow removal
policy.
Mr. Jack Barber, 1919 Hunter Lane, stated he is very
unhappy with the present snow removal policy. He stated
that the last three years the snow removal service has
deteriorated. Mr. Barber stated he was very concerned
that emergency vehicles would have been unable to move
through the snow. He stated he wants the City to adopt
a snow removal policy.
Mayor Mertensotto briefly discussed a memo submitted by
Public Works Director Jim Danielson regarding the "storm
of the century". He stated he had received many angry
calls from residents upset about the snow removal. He
stated that he wants to see the City adopt a snow removal
policy. He stated that years ago the City contracted
outside snow removal companies to help with the removal
of the snow and he inquired as to whether the City should
look into that again.
City Administrator Lawell explained that the City
currently has three plow routes. He stated that the City
had enough equipment to keep up with the heavy snowfall
but that the City was short staff. Public Works Director
Danielson stated that the City streets have increased and
that the plow routes have not. He stated he anticipates
hiring an additional staff person in 1992. He stated
that by adding another employee, the City would -then be
able to increase the plow routes to four.
Councilmember Blesener commended the Public Works staff
for their efforts they put forth during the storm.
Councilmember Cummins concurred and stated that it would
be financially irresponsible to gear City services
towards a snow storm of this magnitude.
Administrator Lawell stated staff will research snow
removal policies from other Cities and will report back
to Council at a later meeting.
REMOVAL OF SCHOUVEILLER HOUSE
Council acknowledged a tabulation of bids received for
the removal of the former Schouveiller home on Highway
55.
Councilmember Blesener moved that a contract for sale and
removal of the residence at 2458 Highway 55 be awarded to
Machinery and House Movers Corporation for their high bid
of $7,600.00 and to authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to
Page No. 3148
November 5, 1991
execute the agreement on behalf of the City, subject to
adding to the agreement language that provides for the
"floor to be broken up for drainage".
CASE NO. 91-38:
LANDKAMER -
VARIANCE
Mr. John Landkamer, 659 Third Avenue, was present to
request approval of a seven foot (7') side yard setback
variance and an eight foot (8') front yard setback
variance to allow reconstruction and enlargement of a
single car garage.
Council briefly discussed "housekeeping" variances and
concluded that the Planning Commission should review the
necessity of "housekeeping" variances at their upcoming
November meeting and report back to Council with their
recommendation.
Councilmember Cummins moved approval of a seven foot (7')
side yard setback variance and an eight foot (8') front
yard setback variance to allow reconstruction and
enlargement of a single car garage at 659 Third Avenue as
proposed in the planning application.
AYES: 5
NAYS: 0
CASE NO. 91-39:
SCHUSTER -
VARIANCE
Mrs. Betty Schuster, 1900 Wachtler Avenue, was present to
request approval of a 3.7 foot front yard setback
variance along Hilltop Road to bring the existing garage
into conformance with setback requirements and allow a
building permit for a proposed addition to the home.
Councilmember Koch moved to approve a 3.7 foot front yard
setback variance along Hilltop Road to bring the existing
garage at 1900 Wachtler Avenue into conformance.
Councilmember Cummins seconded the motion.
AYES: 5
NAYS: 0
Page No. 3149
November 5, 1991
CASE NO. 91-35:
KNAEBLE -
SUBDIVISION
Mr. Peter Knaeble was present to request approval of the
subdivision of a three acre parcel located at 1760 Dodd
Road into three lots, one of which contains the existing
home.
Mr. Knaeble briefly explained revisions had been made to
the plat based on suggestions from the Planning
Commission. He stated that Outlot A will be transferred
to the property to the south. He further explained that
a driveway culvert will be installed across the creek and
that the size will be approved by the City Engineering
staff.
In response to a question from Mayor Mertensotto
regarding road access into the super block area, Mr.
Knaeble stated the distance between the exit road and
Marie Avenue will be approximately five hundred feet.
Mayor Mertensotto asked for questions or comments from
the audience.
Mr. Joe Fischer, 1758 Dodd Road, stated his home is to
the north of the proposed subdivision. He stated that he
is concerned with the creek level. He stated if measures
are being taken to control the level of the creek, he
would have no problem with the subdivision being
approved.
Mr. Knaeble reiterated that the creek is protected by the
Wetlands setback and that the vegetation that surrounds
the creek will remain. He stated that a culvert will be
installed according to engineering requirements.
There was a brief discussion regarding combining Outlot
A with the property to the south. Mr. Knaeble stated
that the final plat will reflect the combination of
Outlot A with the property to the south.
Councilmember Smith questioned if a cul-de-sac could be
constructed. Mr. Knaeble stated that due to the existing
homes, there would not be enough room for the
construction of a cul-de-sac.
Councilmember Blesener questioned driveway access to the
flag lots. Mr. Knaeble responded that access easements
will exist for all of the lots. Mayor Mertensotto stated
that the driveway access should be dedicated through the
AYES: 5
NAYS: 0
IVY FALLS
PHASE I -
Page No. 3150
November 5, 1991
private ownership of the lots and not through the City.
In response to a question from Councilmember Blesener,
Mr. Knaeble stated the driveways will be hard surfaced
driveways.
The Council briefly discussed a street circulation plan
submitted for their information. The Council discussed
future plans for the "super block" area. It was the
consensus of the Council that a master plan for the
"super block" area be further reviewed by Dahlgren,
Shardlow and Uban and to include area homeowner's in the
research. Councilmember Blesener pointed out that the
Planning Commission and Parks and Recreation Commission
should be included in the discussions.
Mayor Mertensotto stated final plat should indicate that
the creek bed not be disturbed and that it must remain in
its existing condition. He stated future property owners
should be alerted to this condition. Mr. Knaeble
responded that he would prepare a scenic easement to
protect the creek bed.
Attorney Hart clarified that the scenic easement should
run in favor of the City via the property owners.
Public Works Director Danielson stated that sewer and
water will be brought into this area. Mr. Knaeble stated
he will cooperate with the City in working out a utility
easement.
Councilmember Blesener moved to grant a Wetlands Permit
allowing construction within eighty feet (80') of the two
creeks and allowing a driveway culvert to be installed
across the creek with its size to be approved by City
Engineering Staff, that the originally proposed Outlot A
be transferred to the property to the south and that a
conservancy easement document be prepared by Mr. Knaeble
in favor of the City of Mendota Heights and the adjoining
property owners.
Councilmember Cummins seconded the motion.
CREEK IMPROVEMENT
JOB NO. 8814A
Council acknowledged a report from Public Works Director
Danielson regarding the Ivy Falls Creek Improvement
(Phase I) project, informing Council that an easement
Page No. 3151
November 5, 1991
will be required over the lot north of the Brassard
property, the Dr. Francis Denis property, before the
improvement can be constructed.
Public Works Director Danielson explained that during the
preparation of the plans for the Ivy Falls Creek
improvements adjacent to the Brassard residence it was
discovered that the creek generally follows at the rear
lot lines. He explained that Mr. Brassard's lot is to
the south of the creek and that the lots on the south
side of the creek have been platted with easements. He
explained that the lots to the north of the creek were
created in an earlier plat and have no easements. He
stated that in order to complete the work, easements will
need to be acquired from all the homes on the north end
of the creek. He explained that presently, to complete
the work on Phase I, Dr. Denis's lot is the only
northerly lot needed to grant an easement.
Public Works Director Danielson explained that Dr. Denis
is not in favor of the project and that he does not want
the creek to be realigned through a portion of his
property. He explained he has been in contact with Dr.
Denis and that he has stated that he would consider
signing an easement under certain conditions.
In response to a question from Councilmember Blesener,
Public Works Director Danielson stated the City will need
to keep in mind that there will be several other future
easements that will need to be acquired from Dr. Denis'
neighbors downstream as part of the Phase II project.
There was a brief discussion regarding condemnation of
easements and the possible expense of condemnation.
Mayor Mertensotto stated he would like to see the project
put on hold until an agreement with Dr. Denis is arrived
at. Public Works Director Danielson stated he has been
in contact and will continue to be in contact with Dr.
Denis regarding the acquisition of the easement.
The Council concurred with Public Works Director
Danielson and he stated that he will return with an
update at the December Council meeting.
1992 CDBG ALLOCATION
Council acknowledged and discussed a memo from the City
Administrator regarding the City's 1992 Community
Development Block Grant allocation, and a letter from the
Dakota County HRA.
AYES: 5
NAYS: 0
Page No. 3152
November 5, 1991
Administrator Lawell explained the City has two viable
options from which to choose: senior housing development
and housing rehabilitation. He explained that the Dakota
County HRA has sited the City of Mendota Heights for land
acquisition for senior housing in the year 1992 or 1993
with construction of a building in 1997. He stated the
Council should discuss their desired use of CDBG Funds in
1992.
Councilmember Blesener stated she would like to see funds
set aside for senior housing development. She stated
that for several years now senior housing development has
been a target issue. She questioned if there has been
any discussions targeting the location of the
development. Administrator Lawell stated discussions
have centered around development of the senior housing
south of Highway 110.
Mayor Mertensotto questioned if there are presently any
individuals on a waiting list for housing rehabilitation.
Councilmember Koch, who is the City's representative on
the District 2 Review Committee, stated that there is a
waiting list.
Councilmember Cummins moved to direct staff to prepare
the funding request to the Dakota County HRA for senior
housing development.
Councilmember Blesener seconded the motion.
Councilmember Smith questioned if the City could submit
the request for senior housing funding along with an
alternative plan for housing rehabilitation.
Administrator Lawell stated that he will research her
suggestion.
ZONING ADMINISTRATION
AND POLICIES FOR 1992
Council acknowledged a report from the Administrative
Assistant and Public Works Director regarding zoning
administration and policies, proposing a set of new
procedural requirements and requesting policy direction.
Administrative Assistant Batchelder noted the City is now
operating under a new Zoning Ordinance and that certain
procedural policies need to be changed or reaffirmed.
Mayor Mertensotto stated he would like to refer the
Page No. 3153
November 5, 1991
policy issues regarding Final Platting approvals and
Housekeeping Variances to the Planning Commission for
their review and recommendation.
Councilmember Smith stated she would like to see the
Planning Commission review final plats. She stated the
Planning Commission initially reviews the planning cases
and gives their recommendation to the Council. She
stated the Planning Commission should review final plats
and note any changes that may have occurred after
preliminary plat approval.
Administrative Assistant Batchelder stated the Council
makes their preliminary plat approval based on Planning
Commission recommendation. He stated that the
Engineering Department reviews final plats and notes any
changes that have occurred and then refers the plat to
the City Council for their final approval. He explained
that this procedure has gone on since 1979. He further
explained that time constraints will be a real issue
should the Planning Commission start reviewing final
plats.
The Council briefly discussed housekeeping variances and
drafting specifics guidelines.
It was the consensus of the Council that these issues be
deferred to the Planning Commission for their review and
recommendations. Administrative Assistant Batchelder
stated that the Planning Commission will review these
items at their upcoming November meeting and that their
recommendations will be placed on the December 3rd
Council agenda.
LEGISLATIVE POLICIES FOR 1992
Council acknowledged a memo from City Administrator
Lawell regarding the Association of Metropolitan
Municipalities' and League of Minnesota Cities
legislative policies for 1992.

that the Mendota Plaza sign criteria be
amended to allow 4 foot tall letters for any
future tenant -of-the space proposed-to�-be_ -"
"occupied by the Old America store:
Councilmember Smith seconded the motion.
Mayor Mertensotto informed Council that he has
spoken with Mr. Paster about the possibility
of a congregation/meeting area for senior
citizens in the Plaza and that Mr. Paster has
indicated that it may be possible to
accommodate the request.
Mr. Paster responded that there is space
available in the center and that he would be
happy to accommodate the senior citizens. He
informed Council that the only finished space
is the area previously occupied by the
hardware store (approximately 6,000 square
feet.) He stated that he would be happy to
accommodate the request on a temporary basis
if the seniors provide their own chairs and
tables and support the cost of operating
expense (utilities) for the area they use.
Mayor Mertensotto suggested that the area
needed would likely be about 20 by 30 feet.
Mr. Paster responded that he would be happy to
provide the seniors with a portion of the
space which is currently available, although
he would not build an area for them within the
vacant space. Staff was directed to work with
Mr. Paster on the matter.
Council acknowledged a memo from Treasurer
Shaughnessy relative to a petition from the
residents of Somerset 19 that the City assess
the costs incurred for fire protection
improvements which were ordered by the Fire
Marshal.
Councilmember Cummins moved adoption of
Resolution No. 91-82, "RESOLUTION ORDERING
ASSESSMENT ROLL AND CALLING FOR AN ASSESSMENT
HEARING ON PROPOSED SOMERSET 19 FIRE
PROTECTION IMPROVEMENTS (IMPROVEMENT NO. 91,
PROJECT NO. 8)," the hearing to be held on
December 17, 1991.
Councilmember Blesener seconded the motion.

November 19, 1991
and the FAA: air noise is the City's number
one issue. Mayor Mertensotto reviewed the
proposed resolution for the audience. The
resolution provides for the creation of the
ANLEF, funded by contributions from residents,
for the purpose of bringing declaratory
judgment action against the MAC/FAA in U.S.
District Court in the event that the agencies
deny or fail to affirmatively respond to the
City's reapplication for a fanned corridor
test within a 90 day period of application
submission.
Mr. Bob Collette, air noise advisor for the
City, reviewed the ten critical issues that
have changed air noise over the years. He
also reviewed the FAA response after the 60
day fanned corridor test which was implemented
on August 12th. He informed the audience that
the question is noise equitability. The
problem is that noise has increased 30% and
Mendota Heights is taking all of the increase.
The alternatives for MAC are operationally
viable, but the MAC staff considers them
unacceptable because they feel the
alternatives would open new noise areas and
are contrary to historical agreements and land
use policies.
Mayor Mertensotto asked for questions and
comments from the audience.
Mrs. Wallace Cosgrove stated that she used to
call the MAC noise line often but was told she
was not seeing what she was indeed seeing, so
she quit calling.
Ms. Liz Petchell, a resident of Copperfield,
stated that her family bought their house in
1987 and in advance of buying, spent much time
on the lot in watching the aircraft. She
stated that there were some aircraft at the
time but it was not bad. Every season that
has passed since then has brought an increase
in air noise. She pointed that another change
that has occurred is that in 1987 commercial
flights stopped at 10 P.M.: now they continue
until 11 P.M., and no one at the MAC wants to
address that impact. She stated that she will
contribute to ANLEF.
Mr. Bernie Friel stated that as the former
MASAC{representative it is clear to him that
trying to work with the MAC and FAA has proved
Page No. 3163
November 19, 1991
Mr. Collete explained how the LDN 65 figures
were determined and stated that if the goal is
significant noise relief, the MAC should look
at the LEQ for a 24 hour basis.
Mayor Mertensotto asked how it should be
determined who gets the relief. He pointed
out that the amount of money the City will
receive would only benefit about nine homes.
He pointed out that there are too many
questions for Part 150 to be a workable
program for the City.
Administrator Lawell stated that the only
contour the FAA will accept for distribution
of the funding is LDN 65 but that the City can
/review"the LDN co#ntour`assumptions and try to
`get them to .re=run the computer model.
Mayor Mertensotto expressed concern over the
requirement of an avigation release by the
homeowners. Administrator Lawell stated that
the release would be based on sound levels at
a given point in time and that the MAC is
uncomfortable with avigation easements but
prefers releases.
Mr. Collette stated that the question is what
happens for the next owner of a property.
Administrator Lawell responded that an
easement could be filed against the property
but that the MAC does not want something as
strict as an easement.
Mayor Mertensotto pointed out that the City
must respond that the City will not make an
affirmative commitment until Council has more
time to study the matter.
Mr. Collette informed Council that the MAC is
asking the communities to set the priorities.
Administrator Lawell stated that Minneapolis
has indicated that it will not acquire homes
but will insulate. It seemed to be the
consensus of the communities involved that
each would make its own determination on its
own priority.
Mayor Mertensotto stated that he feels the
response should be that the funding for
Mendota Heights is totally _inadequate, that
LDN 65 contours are not indicative of the
problems being experienced in the City, and
Ayes: 3

problems, and informed Council that he spent
much time in court trying to get back rent
when the building was leased for storage.
Responding to comments from Ms. Weinzettel and
Chief Maczko regarding City storage needs,
Administrator Lawell stated that the base of
the water tank is currently available for
storage of police vehicles, etc., and the fire
station is not needed for City storage.
Councilmember-Cummins pointed out that Council
has done nothing but complain about the
building for the past seven years.
Mayor Mertensotto stated that Council has
wrestled with the problem for well over a year
and although he can anticipate comments for
renovation he feels renovation would not make
economic sense.
Councilmember Smith stated that she
understands both sides of what has been said
and that her impression is that the facility
has long been considered to be an eyesore and
that it does not have any long-term
usefulness.
Councilmember Cummins moved to adopt
Resolution No. 91-83, "RESOLUTION AWARDING
CONTRACT FOR DEMOLITION OF OLD FIRE STATION,"
amended to secure amended bits to allow
removal of the basement floor and foundation
walls, with a cap of $23,000 on the total
cost.
Councilmember Mertensotto seconded the motion.
With respect to drainage, Public Works
Director Danielson advised Ms. Weinzettel that
every effort will be taken to ensure proper
drainage. He further stated that staff will
notify Ms. Weinzettel and her neighbors of the
demolition date in order to minimize any
negative affects, including parking.
Administrator Lawell stated that the telephone
pole is excluded from the bid documents, at

SYNOPSIS
The month of October was a very busy and unusual month.
It ended on Halloween with a 28 inch snowfall.
On October 7th the department was dispatched at 5:09
A.M. to a gas smell in a home on the 1300 block of
Sylvandale. Upon our arrival we found the residents of the
home outside with the Mrs. of the home complaining of a
severe headache. Upon investigation we found carbon
monoxide readings of greater than 70 parts per million in
certain areas of the home. Northern States Power was
notified and the furnace was red tagged and we ventilated
the home. All four family members were taken to United
Hospital for further treatment and observation.
On October 16th at approximately 8:00 P.M. the
department was dispatched to a tugboat fire on the river
below 1101 Sibley Memorial Highway. Due to its location and
difficult access, St. Paul Fire was notified immediately to
assist. Two firefighters went down over the hillside to see
if they could give us further information as to the extent
of the fire. The only accessible way to the fire itself was
by boat. The Ramsey County Water Patrol also assisted the
departments. It took approximately 40 minutes to bring the
fire under control as the tugboat itself, galley area, and
pilot house were fully involved. The fire was distinguished
before it reached the engine and fuel storage areas where
8,000 gallons of fuel was stored for the engines. The fire
was determined to be accidental originating in the galley,
with the ignition factor being objects being to close to an
electric heater. The estimated dollar loss was $40,000 -
$45,000. To make it even more interesting at this fire was
that five minutes after our arrival we received another call
to smoke in a building in the Industrial Park. This
prompted us to contact the Eagan Fire Department for mutual
aid.
On October 20th the department was dispatched to a fire
in the party room at 2320 South Lexington. The rental agent
had lit a fire in the fireplace for atmosphere and shortly
after the fireplace went into flames. One of occupants
extinguished the fire with a fire extinguisher. We found
that a gas line had been disconnected allowing the fire to
burn freely. The gas was shut off at the fireplace and
tagged until serviced.
TRAINING
The monthly departmental was spent on driving skills,
with an extensive driving course set up in the Gould Battery
parking lot. The training was excellent in giving us
proficiency in driving different pieces of equipment. It
was also the first time we were able to drive our
Equipment/Command vehicle as it was delivered on October
5th.
SPECIAL TRAINING
Five firefighters participated in the drill of
flammable liquids at Koch Refining. This drill opportunity
is sponsored every year by Koch Refining. This drill
provides excellent training on how to handle flammable
liquids.
SPECIAL EVENTS
October 9th was Fire Prevention Week and the department
held three Open Houses. The turnout for each Open House was
again fantastic with many demonstrations taking place. The
showcase of the Open House this year was a combination of
the new Equipment/Command Vehicle and smoke house from the
River Falls Fire Department. Firefighters and Pluggie the
Fire Plug spent two days at all of the elementary schools in
Mendota Heights.
The other special event, which was eluded to earlier,
was on October 5th when the department took delivery of its
long awaited Equipment/Command vehicle.

SYNOPSIS
The department responded to three structure fires
during the month of November.
On Monday, November 4th at 7:34 p.m. the department was
dispatched to 1068 Cullen, the upper level was filled with
smoke. Upon our arrival we found heavy smoke with a strong
plastic odor. After further investigation it was determined
that the upper limit control panel had burned out and was
allowing the furnace to burn uncontrolled. Damage was minor
with an approximate dollar loss of $400.
On Tuesday, November 12th at 4:55 p.m. the department
responded to an oven fire at 1049 Overlook Road. upon
investigation it was found that grease had ignited in the
oven during the cleaning process. We turned the power off
to the oven and ventilated the home. There was no damage.
On Saturday, November 30th at 6:05 a.m. the department
responded to a house fire at 538 Stone Road. This was new
construction and there was no one inside. Upon our arrival,
flames were coming through the roof above the garage area
and the northeast corner of the home. Because of poor
weather conditions, 14" of 'snow and still falling, the
department requested mutual aid from Inver Grove Heights.
After investigation by Fire Marshal Kaiser, the fire was
determined to be accidental. The cause of the fire was that
rags that applied oil based stain/sealer were not disposed
of properly. The estimated dollar loss is $205,000. Fire
personnel returned to the station at 1:00 p.m.
TRAINING
The monthly squad drills were spent on familiarizing
fire personnel with the operation and equipment of our new
Equipment/Command vehicle. The firefighters were also given
training on the uses of the Lukas tool.
Our monthly drill consisted of a written test given to
all firefighters regarding the location of all equipment on
the trucks. A critique of the tug boat fire was completed
and fire ground discipline was addressed. An incident
command tape "AM Heat" was viewed and discussed.

PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION MINUTES
DECEMBER 10, 1991
The regular meeting of the Mendota Heights Parks and Recreation
Commission was held on Tuesday, December 10, 1991, in the City Hall
Large Conference Room, 1101 Victoria Curve. The meeting was called
to order at 7:10 o'clock P.M. The following Commission members
were present: Huber, Lundeen, Spicer, Damberg, Katz and Hunter.
Commissioner Kleinglass arrived late. Also present were Parks
Project Manager Guy Kullander, Civil Engineer Klayton Eckles and
Administrative Assistant Kevin Batchelder. Guests at the meeting
included Dave Libra, Mend -Eagan Soccer; John Bruder, Keith Campbell
and Jim Adams of Sting Soccer.
APPROVAL OF MINUTES
Commissioner Damberg moved approval of the November 12,
1991, minutes.
Commissioner Spicer seconded the motion.
AYES: 6
NAYS: 0
KENSINGTON PARK -
FINAL CONCEPT DESIGN
Chair Huber opened the discussion by asking the soccer
representatives a question about the relationship -between
Mend -Eagan Soccer and Sting Soccer. Mr. Keith Campbell
explained they are two separate programs. He stated
Sting Soccer was never a City program and explained that
Mendota Heights children have been using the West St.
Paul program since 1974 and they are charged a $5.00 non-
resident fee by the City of West St. Paul. Mr. Campbell
stated there are 150 Mendota Heights kids in the West St.
Paul program and Sibley Sting is a traveling arm of this
soccer program. Commissioner Spicer stated that Mend -
Eagan was a Fall soccer program and the summer soccer
program is conducted by the City of West St.. Paul's
recreation department. Spicer stated West St. Paul 'has
no basketball program and West St. Paul kids play in
Mend -Eagan basketball program with no fee charged for
non-resident.
Mr. John Bruder stated competitive youth soccer is played
in the summer in Minnesota and there are approximately
26,000 kids state wide participating in the summer
programs. Mr. Bruder stated a traveling soccer team was
gilt together a few years ago and is made up of Mendota
Heights and West St. Paul children, many of whom play in
December 10, 1991
Page 2
both the Mend -Eagan and the West St. Paul program. Mr.
Bruder stated the Sibley Sting was created to allow
summer competitive youth soccer. Mr. Dave Libra
explained that the fall program is not in competition
with the summer program and many of the participants are
in both programs.
Mr. Libra state the fall soccer is for both boys and
girls and was st ted so that non -football players would
have a fall sport'to play.
Commissioner Huber inquired if there was any thought to
moving the Mend -Eagan program to the summer.
Commissioner Spicer stated that is not currently being
considered. Mr. Jim Adams stated there had been a survey
completed in the recent past where the respondents
indicated they did not want to move the programs because
they compliment each other so well.
Commissioner Damberg inquired how many boys and girls
participate on the Sting travel teams. Mr. Keith
Campbell responded there are 150 Mendota Heights kids in
the summer program and of these 50 are on the traveling
team. Sting is the advanced stage of the soccer program
and has five traveling girls teams and five traveling
boys teams and there are 18 participants per team. Mr.
Campbell stated the ages of the traveling team
participants are 7 to 19 years old and the number of
participants has greatly increased -over the last two
years.
Chair Huber asked Parks Project Manager Guy Kullander to
review the current drawings. Kullander stated that his
memo presented what had been discussed at the last
meeting and also included a revised plan based on the
comments City staff had received from Mend -Eagan and
Sting since the last monthly meeting. Kullander stated
the Parks Commission should either confirm what they had
decided for the concept last month or revise the north
and south park areas based on more recent input.
Commissioner Huber stated the Parks Commission had
received a memo or letter from both Sting and Mend -Eagan
concerning specifics of the soccer field design and th
Parks Commission should go through each of these reques5
one -by -one. Huber stated Item No. 1 was the location o
the power poles and the high wire lines running through
the corner of east soccer field and that this dictated
the location and size of the two soccer fields that could
be provided. Huber pointed out that the revised plans
showed the east field moved -closer to the west field,
December 10, 1991
Page 3
eliminating the ability to expand the west field to a
larger size and also narrowing the setbacks between the
two fields.
A discussion ensued about moving the NSP power poles and
raising the sag point of the wires as they cross the
fields. Parks Project Manager Kullander estimated it
would be approximately $20,000 to relocate a pole and
that we are constrained by the need to stay within the
easement if the wires are shifted. Kullander stated it
was a possibility to add a new pole that would raise the
sag point. The Parks and Recreation Commission directed
staff to get an estimate from NSP about the possibility
of moving poles or raising the sag point. Sting
representatives indicated that their preference was
Option B, the plan that showed moving the fields to the
west away from the power lines.
Chair Huber introduced the issue of crowning the fields
as opposed to the original design which relied upon sheet
drainage. Civil Engineer Klayton Eckles addressed the
question about crowned fields verses sheet drainage by
stating that the original design had relied upon sheet
drainage because it would cost approximately $30,000 less
to construct it. Eckles stated the grade elevations are
a problem on the �ast end of the site because of the
development grades that will be constructed with the
multi -family units there. Eckles stated that Option B
crowds the fields to the west where there are some grade
changes. Eckles explained that a properly crowned field
is actually crowned both ways from the center and also
crowned toward both goals. Eckles explained that the
sheet drainage design relied on a one percent grade and
this means a one foot change in elevation in one hundred
feet. Eckles stated this is a very gentle slope and
would be hard to detect with the naked eye.
Commissioner Lundeen stated that puddling areas are a
function of the soils underneath the turf. Lundeen
stated sheet drainage is more likely to retain water that
has to drain for a further distance than on a crowned
field. Commissioner Lundeen stated that typically
Mendota Heights is not sandy soil which provides a better
percolation. Lundeen stated a crow'eld splits the
drainage into two separate direction 4n water does not
have to drain as far with the cro rim ield. Lundeen
stated that most play on a soccer eld is down the
middle and the crown helps the field dry in the middle at
a faster rate.
Mr. Jim Adams stated Visitation field which was recently
December 10, 1991
Page 4
constructed has severe drainage and puddling problems.
Mr. Eckles pointed out that the Visitation field is a
crown field with poor drainage along sides of field.
Engineer Eckles explained that additional storm sewer
piping is necessary with a crown field and because the
fields have been moved further to the west we have lost
a shoulder area on the west side of the site. Eckles
stated that as a soccer player he feels a crown field is
best, however as an engineer and City resident, he feels
that the $30,000 necessary to construct the crown fields
may not be worth it.
Commissioner Spicer inquired if the $30,000 in extra
costs for crown fields included both fields. Eckles
responded yes. Commissioner Spicer inquired, that if
this is a highly active area with multiple uses, which
would be better crown or sheet drainage? Eckles
responded that with sandy soil sheet drainage may be
better and it is really dependent upon the soil.
Kullander stated the developer's agreement called for six
inches of topsoil on this site. Some regrading will be
necessary in order to crown the fields.
Commissioner Kleinglass arrived at 7:45 o'clock P.M.
Mr. Dave Libra, Mend -Eagan Soccer, stated he appreciated
the cooperation from the City in working out the design
for the soccer fields and he felt that moving the power
lines was a primary issue and that he is concerned the
field not under the power line have proper drainage as it
would be the primary field.
Chair Huber introduced the fencing request. There was a
consensus of the Parks Commission that at a minimum a six
foot fence be built around the site. Kullander stated he
was proposing a six to eight foot fence along I-494 with
tree plantings to provide additional screening. Behind
each goal along I-494 would be a twenty-eight foot kick
barrier. There was a discussion between the Commission
and the soccer representatives about how high the fence
should be along I-494 to keep balls from rolling into the
right-of-way. The Commission decided to bid two heights
on the fence and choose one at a later date after the
West St. Paul site had been visited and proper fence
height determined. They would consider ten foot fence on
the ends of the field along I-494 with a six foot fence
bordering the Centex multi -family units. A gate along
the MnDOT right-of-way was discussed.
Chair Huber stated it seemed everybody was in agreement
December 10, 1991
Page 5
with sprinkling being provided. Chair Huber inquired if
the forty foot separation between the two soccer fields
was adequate. There was consensus on this item. Chair
Huber inquired about the backstops that had been in last
month's concept design. The Commission and guests were
of a consensus that the backstops should be deleted from
the plan. Mr. Keith Campbell stated that while the
crowned fields were the first priority of the Sting
soccer he was concerned that any backstops in this area
would add to the wear and tear in the goal areas of the
soccer fields.
Chair Huber stated the concession stand request should be
prefaced by comments that the City has not yet decided
how to handle the concession stand or lease at Mendakota
Park and there would be no guarantee that Sting or Mend -
Eagan would actually end up running any concession stand
built by the City. Chair Huber explained the City has
not yet sought bids on the lease of the Mendakota stand
and he is aware the fire department and an outside
private interest have both expressed interest in
operating the concession stands. Mr. John Bruder stated
Sting would like to see a concession area with this park
design.
Parks Project Manager Kullander explained that at the
October meeting the building had been designed with an
overhang. Kullander stated that by the November meeting
the Parks Commission had decided a picnic area with
shelters would be better than an overhang which would be
adjacent to the parking lot. Kullander displayed
potential kiosks that could provide shelter from the
elements on the other side of the play equipment, away
from the parking lot. Kullander explained the building
originally proposed included two toilets, mechanical room
and a storage area at an approximate cost of $50,000 to
$60,000. Kullander stated adding a concession area would
cost approximately $10,000. Chair Huber stated if it was
Sting's intent to sell simply pop and potato chips that
this could be handled by vending machines. Chair Huber
stated that anything beyond simple vending items require
health code improvements that can become quiet expensive
in designing the concession area. Chair Huber inquired
if a concession area was absolutely necessary and if it
was a high priority of the soccer interests. Chair Huber
inquired if vending machines would be sufficient. Mr.
Keith Campbell responded that the power lines and the
crowning of the fields are the priority issues, however
a concession area was provided at the softball fields and
a concession area should be provided at the soccer area.
Commissioner Lundeen stated he disagreed on:'this issue
December 10, 1991
Page 6
and stated Mendakota Park had been considered a different
level of park as a community park. Commissioner Spicer
explained the Sibley concession area was built at the
request of Independent School District No. 197 and that
Mendakota Park had been considered a community park with
lots of other activities planned for it besides softball
and Mendakota Park had been considered the flag ship park
of the City.
Chair Huber introduced the request to provide lighting at
the soccer fields. Commissioner Spicer stated all
requests for lighted fields have always been turned down
by City Council. Spicer stated there are no parks or
fields in Mendota Heights that have lights, in fact there
are very few street lights in the City.
Mr. Dave Libra made a request that the north park area be
kept open for use as a multi use field. Mr. Libra
explained the fall soccer schedule and stated currently
Mend -Eagan uses three fields: Ivy, Wentworth and
Friendly Hills Parks. He stated by keeping the north
park area open for multi use it would alleviate
scheduling problems for Mend -Eagan and would give them a
three field capability allowing the Mend -Eagan soccer to
be basically in one location in the City. Chair Huber
stated the Parks Commission has been through a lot of
discussion on the north park area over the past two
monthly meetings and that issue would be discussed a
little later in the agenda.
Commissioner Spicer moved that the Parks and Recreation
Commission recommend to the City Council to approve a
concept design as follows:
1. That the Parks and Recreation Commission recommend
Option B showing two crowned soccer fields in the
relocated areas away from the power lines.
2. That the Parks and Recreation Commission direct
staff to inquire with NSP about the best possible
solution to alleviating the proximity of the
power lines to the soccer fields including options
of relocating the wires and/or raising the wires.
3. That the Parks and Recreation Commission recommend
the fencing on the site should be six feet
around with a ten foot fence behind the fields on
both the north and south with twenty-eight foot
high kick barriers at the I-494 end of the soccer
goals.
December 10, 1991
Page 7
4. That the Parks and Recreation Commission recommend
sprinkling and irrigation be included.
5. That the Parks and Recreation Commission recommend
there be no backstops included in this design.
6. That the Parks and Recreation Commission recommend
there be no lighting of the fields.
7. That the Parks and Recreation Commission recommend
not to include a concession area in the building.
8. That the storage design for nets and soccer
equipment be included.
9. That two or three small picnic shelter areas should
be included in the design instead of an overhang
attached to the building. These picnic shelters
will be located east of the play equipment.
Commissioner Hunter seconded the motion.
AYES: 7
NAYS: 0
NORTH KENSINGTON PARK AREA
Chair Huber stated there had been long discussions with
some controversy over the design of the north park.
Huber stated that last month the Commission voted for a
very active use concept in this area with hard court
facilities. Administrative Assistant Batchelder
explained that in October staff had come forward with a
recommendation the north park area be mostly an open
grass area for multi use fields with trails, parking lot
and a backstop with benches without a skinned in field.
Batchelder stated Mr. Kullander had been selected to be
the design person for this park and his original design
had been based on his understanding of the intent for
this park. Batchelder stated at the October meeting
there had been requests to design the park as a more
passive style park and at that point the Parks and
Recreation Commission had directed staff to look into
including Hagstrom-King Park in the design concept for
this area's park needs. Batchelder stated in November
the north park had been recommended to be a very active
park with tennis facilities, basketball facilities,
horseshoe facilities, picnic shelters, enhanced trail
system and parking lot. Batchelder stated staff had
input from two Councilmembers regarding this preliminary
recommendation. Batchelder stated the Councilmembers had
December 10, 1991
Page 8
indicated this park area design could be determined in
the future and in the meanwhile we could simply grade and
seed this area and wait for the development of this area
to dictate the needs in this park. Batchelder stated
there was a concern about changing the nature of
Hagstrom-King Park. Parks Project Manager Kullander
stated the grading for the homes in this area might not
occur at the same time schedule the City desires to
construct this summer. He stated some of the grading
work may damage improvements if the City puts them in too
soon. Kullander stated that he felt some grading must
occur in this park and at a minimum black dirt and
seeding be done.
The soccer representatives at the meeting that a grass
multi use area would be the preferred option. Chair
Huber inquired of the Parks and Recreation Commission
whether they decided to proceed with their original
recommendation for an active use area or to do the
minimal park design at this time and put other decisions
on hold. Commissioner Hunter stated he had no problems
with a grass field only level of park improvement at this
time and that often spending money is too easy to do as
a Commission. He stated the City could grade and seed
the field and continue to look at the options in this
area. Commissioner Spicer stated a grass only area was
okay and that we can revisit this issue in the future.
Commissioners Katz, Kleinglass and Lundeen stated this
approach was okay with them. -
Commissioner Damberg stated she had no problems about
developing this site at a later date, however she still
would like the Parks Commission to take a look at
Hagstrom-King and the north park area in Kensington for
design options to address the need for passive park and
active park. Chair Huber stated everyone should be aware
that we are not agreeing at this point that this park
will never be developed for active uses.
Mr. Dave Libra explained that Mend -Eagan soccer could use
this field in the fall for approximately a seven week
period for afternoon games. Mr. Libra stated these are
the younger children that would be using this field. He
stated it would be similar in size to existing fields at
Friendly Hills and Wentworth and that this would be a low
key use with parents and children attending the games.
Chair Huber summarized the Parks and Recreation
Commission position that this area be graded out flat,
seeded for grass and see what happens in the future.
Chair Huber stated there are forces that want to see it
as a "not" active park and that there are also forces out
AYES: 7

there that want to see it as a developed practice field.
Sting representatives requested the City notify them when
further consideration of the park design is done.
Commissioner Spicer moved that the north area of
Kensington Park be recommended as a grass field only as
a temporary solution with the design concept to be looked
at in the future.
Commissioner Hunter seconded the motion.
Mr. John Bruder stated Sting Soccer appreciates the time
and energy and consideration given to their request by
the Parks and Recreation Commission and staff. He stated
he would like to see the Parks Commission, as a group,
take an aggressive stance on the power line issue and its
location to the fields. Mr. Bruder stated this decision
at this time would be critical to the future use of these
fields and we need to provide a good solution now before
the fields are built. Chair Huber stated he appreciates
the complimentary remarks and thanked the guests for a
positive meeting.
INDOOR PARK REQUEST
Chair Huber stated that when he first saw the request for
an indoor park he was surprised to see this person was
only asking for something the size of a classroom.
Commissioner Katz stated she felt this request was a good
idea. Administrative Assistant Batchelder explained that
the City had received a letter from a resident requesting
the City to look into the idea of an indoor park for
toddlers and their parents in the winter, when it is
impossible to play outdoors. Batchelder explained he had
included in his memo some of the current resources
available to parents including the Community Education
Department, Early Childhood and Family Education
Department, private dance classes and Turner's
Gymnastics.
Commissioner Damberg stated that she is empathetic to the
request, however the City's recreation program is only at
an embryo stage at this point. Damberg stated that the
recreation program needs to be determined by the City
first before we can explore ideas such as this which she
believes is a good idea. She stated this resident should
explore her options with Independent School District No.
197 and with private businesses in the area.

HARRIET ISLAND
LILYDALE REGIONAL PARK
Administrative Assistant Batchelder stated the City had
received a request from the Metropolitan Council
regarding St. Paul's application to fund the improvements
they desire to see at the Lilydale/Harriet Island
Regional Park. Batchelder stated his attached letter was
the preliminary staff response to the Metropolitan
Council's request. Batchelder provided a brief
presentation on the design of the Lilydale portion of the
Regional Park. Commissioner Damberg stated it would be
nice to contact the homeowners in the Ivy Falls area.
PARK DEDICATION
Administrative Assistant Batchelder explained the City
had received an offer to dedicate an outlot to the City's
park system. Batchelder stated that the location of this
outlot is at the end of Mallard Lane on the other side of
the pond area from City Hall.
Commissioner Damberg moved to recommend that the City
Council accept this park dedication.
Commissioner Hunter seconded the motion.
AYES: 7
NAYS: 0
VERBAL UPDATES
Parks Project Manager Kullander explained the Federal
Disabilities Act which was now coming into effect might
stipulate that the City's new play equipment provide
equal play for handicapped equipment. Kullander
explained this meant if a swing or slide was built that
was not handicap accessible, the City would have to
provide similar piece of equipment that is handicapped
accessible. Kullander.stated it might be prudent for the
City to wait for more formal and specific guidelines to
come out before deciding on the level of improvement to
the play equipment at Kensington Park.
Commissioner Damberg stated she had two items she would
like to be considered on the 'January Parks Agenda.
Damberg stated a discussion should be undertaken about
the level of staffing for parks and recreation here at
the City. Damberg stated that another item should be

FROM: Guy Kullander, Engineering Technician
SUBJECT: Demolition of Old Fire Station
HISTORY
Now that the building has been demolished, the well casing,
located in the center of the structure, is accessible and can be
abandoned according to state and county regulations.
DISCUSSION
Bid documents were sent to the well drilling companies that
responded to our last advertisement for bids to close the wells on
properties purchased by the City along Highway 55.
Due to the age of the well, the County will probably ask that
the casing be perforated. This is determined by the County after
the contractor has applied for a well closure permit. In
anticipation, we have solicited bids for both capping and
perforation.
The following bids were received:
E.H. Renner and Sons, Inc.
Keys Well Drilling Company
$2,750.00
$2,800.00
Both bidders are known to City staff and are considered to be
reputable firms.
RECOMMENDATION
I recommend that Council accept the bids and award the
contract to E.H. Renner and Sons, Inc.
ACTION REQUIRED
If Council wishes to implement the recommendation, they should
award the contract to E.H. Renner, authorize staff to prepare a
purchase order for capping ($1,250) and, if required by Dakota
County, a second purchase order for perforation ($1,500).

MEMORANDUM
10 December, 1991
TO: Mayor and Cityrgo)'ncil
City Administ
FROM: Chief of Police
SUBJECT: Purchase of Computer Equipment and Software
INTRODUCTION
The police department desires to spend approximately $5,800.00 in capital
outlay funds to purchase computer hardware and software to replace the
existing MINCIS connection point equipment.
HISTORY and DISCUSSIOI'
Hardware:
We are required to report all of our police incidents to the State of
Minnesota and the FBI via our MINCIS computer terminal. This equipment
consists of a 12 year old Memorex CPU, a monitor, a 15 year old Texas
Instruments Impact Printer and a "down -link" and modem that are both over 10
years old. This equipment is separate from our internal Macintosh network and
is also used for driver's license, motor vehicle, criminal history and warrant
checks, as well as sending and receiving messages from other criminal justice
agencies throughout the state and the country.
We have now encountered maintenance problems with the system. CPU keeps
blowing up the monitors (we are on our third) and the repair people cannot
find the fault. We have incurred approximately $350.00 in repair charges and
the recommendation is that we replace our equipment. They suggest that the
cost of repair may eventually exceed 75 percent of the cost of replacement,
and we could still be left with an outdated and less than trustworthy system.
Software:
In 1981 we explored an integrated data base that would allow us to make single
entries into the state computer that would automatically post MINCIS, FBI, UCR
and internal files. We presently have a process that involves many steps to
maintain this data. In 1981 hardware and software costs would have been near
$100,000.00. This is primar"ily due to the fact that the only available
products would not run on a "PC". They required a mini -computer. The state
now accepts IBM, NEC and compact personal computers on the system and
Excaliber and Leadrs software to operate those systems. The combined price of
this hardware/software package is less than.,;10 percent of the 1981 cost.
If this were not enough, the federal government has announced that they will
make the transition into their new national incident based reporting system
(NIERS) in the summer of 1992. What NIBRS will do is double the amount of
input required for each incident that a police department has. This will
effectively double the amount of work our clerical people will have to perform
in order to enter these incidents into both the Macintosh and the state
networks.
ALTERNATIVES
1. Stay as we are and repair equipment as problems occur. Continue using
double entry (MINCIS and Macintosh) a system of posting data, including
the new NIBRS requirements.
2. Replace hardware at a cost of approximately $3,800.00 and stay with our
redundant entry system.
3. Replace hardware and software at a cost not to exceed $5,800.00.
RECOMMENDATION
That Council authorize the police department to spend up to $5,800.00 for the
purchase of a NEC 386-20 computer and accessories to replace the existing
state terminal and LEADRS law enforcement software to maintain necessary
department records and reports. The system will be purchased off the of the
State of Minnesota bid contract.

conservancy (scenic) easement for City Council approval at the
December 3, 1991 meeting. City Council laid over the approval of
the final plat and conservancy easement to the December 17, 1991

SUBJECT: Maintenance Worker Position
DISCUSSION:
December 10, 1991
Mr. Duane Toenyen resigned from the street department October 11,
1991. After his resignation staff advertised the opening in the Sun -
Current and Pioneer Press and accepted applications through October
28, 1991. We then evaluated the 71 applications and interviewed
eleven finalists on November 25 and 26.
These eleven finalists were all extremely qualified and it was
difficult to select the new employee, however, John Boland has worked
as a temporary employee for the City for many years, first as a Parks
and Recreation rink attendant, and supervisor and then as a public
works summer helper. He has always done an excellent job. John is
also a resident of Mendota Heights.
RECOMMENDATION:
I recommend that, subject to his passing a pre-employment physi-
cal, Mr. John Boland, 2263 Apache Street, be hired effective December
23, 1991, as a Street Department Maintenance Worker. His starting
salary would be established by union contract at $9.48 per hour.
ACTION REQUIRED:
If Council desires to implement the recommendation they should
pass a motion hiring Mr. John Boland to begin probationary employment
on December 23, 1991 at a starting wage of $9.48 per hour.

To whom it may concern:
I have had the pleasure of working on a part time basis
with the City of Mendota Heights for the past several years.
I started as a rink attendant, graduated to supervisor, and
am currently working part time with the Parks and Recreation
and, now, Street Department. I really enjoy the work and
the people I work with.
I have lived in Mendota Heights all my life. I
graduated from Sibley High School, attended Inver Hills for
two years and then transferred to the University of St.
Thomas. Now I have begun working towards a degree in Public
Works at North Hennepin Community College and would like to
pursue a career in Public Works. I also have taken several
courses in small engines, and welding at Dakota County
Vo -Tech and have several years experience in working with
mowers, tractors and snow removal equipment.
I have been an active volunteer at St. Peters, Mendota,
(doing work on their festival, delivering food for the
Dorothy Day Program, coaching softball) as a grounds
maintenance person for a CATCH (HUD) home in West St. Paul
(temporary home for single parents)and in the Mend -Eagan
youth sports program.
I am enclosing a job application and a letter of
recommendation from my most recent employer. I would really
appreciate any consideration you might give me for the
opening in the Public Works Department. Thank you.

Public Works Dir:Q or
HNTB Request for Additional Compensation
Last year the City hired HNTB to complete a water system analy-
sis. HNTB's original contract to complete the work was for $6,900.
DISCUSSION:
During the time that HNTB was studying the water system, Mendota
Heights Engineering was working on the Furlong project. As part of
the Furlong project, we asked HNTB to analyze the impact of adding the
City of Mendota to our water system. We also asked them to analyze
what size main was needed to be used to serve the Furlong area. HNTB
completed these analysis for us at a cost of $1,150.
Also during the preparation of the water study it was discovered
that the City had a problem with getting enough supply to the water
tower during periods of high lawn sprinkling. HNTB spent more than
the anticipated time analyzing solutions to the water tower problem.
HNTB has requested that the City increase the contract by $1,603.70 to
cover these increased costs (see attached bill).
RECOMMENDATION:
I recommend that HNTB be granted their request for increased
billing, $1,150 would be charged to the Furlong project and $1,603.70
would be charged to the utility fund.
ACTION REQUIRED:
If Council desires to implement the recommendation they should
pass a motion approving the attached HNTB bill.

FROM: Chief of Police
SUBJECT: Remodeling Project
.NTRODUCTION
The police department wishes to spend up to $2,500 to remodel the squad room
area in order to provide a better work environment for the officers.
BISTORY
The squad room was designed to be large enough to accomodate department
meetings and training events and still provide workspace for officers who are
writing reports, interviewing victims and witnesses and following up on
investigations. Since we have moved in, we have discovered that the room has
also become the social center of the department. It is used for eating lunch
and taking coffee breaks, off duty and on duty personnel are in and out of the
room to update themselves with the posted material, pick up their checks and
mail, check in for court and report for training, etc. As a result, it is
generally a busy and noisy room. Several officers have approached me with a
request that the room be remodeled to provide for more private and quiet
workspaces.
DISCUSSION
Working with a committe of officers, a plan was developed that will provide
the most economical solution to the problem. This involves the installation
of accoustical partitions, creating two cubicles that would be screened from
the rest of the room. The plan is attached for your information. It calls
for the purchase of the panels, either desks or modular desktops, an
additional dictaphone station and some additonal office supplies. The result
would be two "sound -muffled" cubicles, a computer station, an area for a
future back-up communication center, and 375 square feet of squad room
remaining for training and meetings. The officers on the committe have
volunteered to provide the labor for the project and they possess the
expertise to do that. We feel that we can complete the entire project for
$2,500.00 or less.
P,LTERNATIVES
1. Hire out the project using the Herman Miller products and people that were
used in the rest of the building. Materials and labor for this
alternative would be approximately $5,000.00.
2. Purchase the materials off the market and provide the labor ourselves.
The approximate cost would be $2,500.00 and would be billed to the City
Hall Fund.
3. Purchase the materials off the market and provide the labor ourselves and
pay the $2,500.00 from several different police department budget accounts
which have not yet been depleted.
gECOMNENDAT ION
I would recommend that Council approve the project to a maximum of $2,500.00
to be paid out of the City Hall Fund. The cooperation and initiative of the
involved officers is a benefit to the department in of itself. The completion
of this project would be excellent for officer morale as well as solving an
existing problem.

FROM: James E. Danielson, Public Works Dire
SUBJECT: Purchase of Snowblower and Cab for Large Toro
DISCUSSION
In past years, the maintenance staff has been able to clear
snow from the trails with pickup trucks and small (8' wide) plows.
Last year, after the addition of approximately 10 more miles of
trail, the task became more difficult. Some of the narrower (6'
wide) trails and some trails with obstacles such as mailboxes, fire
hydrants and retaining walls were nearly impossible to plow. Last
winter, we just cleared as many of the trails as we could.
After last winter we realized that we would be unable to do an
adequate job of clearing snow from the trails without acquiring
additional equipment. We budgeted for a snowblower attachment to
the new Toro within the 1992 Budget. Council agreed to continue to
clear the trails of snow and approved the purchase of the
snowblower.
This winter we have had difficulty the trails of snow after
the "Storm of the Century" and the Thanksgiving weekend storm
because the trails were packed too heavy and deep for the small
pickup plows to work. We have received some complaints.
In order to clear the trails of these heavy snow falls, we
feel that we need the Toro snowblower attachment as soon as
possible and would like to begin the purchasing process
immediately.
RECOMMENDATION
I recommend that Council authorize staff to advertise for bids
to purchase a snowblower and cab for the large Toro. Estimated
cost for the equipment is $15,000. The bids would be accepted and
awarded in 1992 with funding from the Parks and Recreation Budget.
ACTION REOUIRED
If Council desires to implement the recommendation, they
should pass a motion authorizing staff to solicit bids for a new
snowblower and cab.

FROM: Tom Lawell, City Administ
SUBJECT: 1992 Non Union Pay Adjustments
DISCUSSION
December 13, 1991
Our upcoming Council meeting is the last meeting of 1991, and
in order to allow budgeted pay increases to occur in a timely
fashion, they should be acted upon on December 17th. Attached
please find an updated pay matrix which reflects a four percent pay
increase for our non union employees. Also attached please find a
resolution establishing all non union pay adjustments according to
the matrix. This adjustment is commensurate with the four percent
wage increase provided our police and public works employees under
union contract.
The resolution.also sets forth the City's insurance premium
contribution at $275 per month ($25.00 increase). The 10 percent
increase is considerably less than the 19.5 percent rate increase
received from our primary health insurance carrier. More
specifically, MedCenters has increased family premiums by $71.00
per month for 1992. The amount of our City contribution is
commensurate with that provided by other suburban communities, yet
the escalating cost of health care continues to take its toll on
our employees.
The resolution also provides for a four percent increase in
wages paid to our part time and temporary employees. Wage rates
for fire department personnel were not increased in 1992 due to
their desire to instead receive a nominal increase in the City's
contribution to the Fire Relief Association.
RECOMMENDATION
Consistent with our adopted 1992 Budget, I recommend that the
attached Resolutions establishing employee pay and insurance
contributions for 1992 be approved.
ACTION REQUIRED
Should Council desire to implement the recommendation, they
should first pass a motion adopting Resolution No. 91- , A
RESOLUTION AMENDING PAY CLASSIFICATION SCHEDULE FOR NON ORGANIZED
EMPLOYEES TO REFLECT A FOUR PERCENT ANNUAL ADJUSTMENT FOR 1992,
followed by a motion adopting Resolution No. 91- , A RESOLUTION
ADOPTING A SCHEDULE OF COMPENSATION FOR CERTAIN EMPLOYEES FOR 1992
AND ESTABLISHING CERTAIN OTHER BENEFITS.
MTL:kkb
CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS
Dakota County, Minnesota
RESOLUTION NO.
RESOLUTION AMENDING PAY CLASSIFICATION SCHEDULE FOR NON -ORGANIZED
EMPLOYEES TO REFLECT A 4% ANNUAL ADJUSTMENT FOR 1992
WHEREAS, by Resolution No. 87-67, the City Council has
adopted a grade -and -step pay system for non -organized City
employees that meets the requirements of MSA 471.991, the Pay
Equity Act; and
WHEREAS, it is necessary to annually review the pay matrix
that is a part of that system for adjustment in recognition of
increases in cost of living; and
WHEREAS, based on salary trends in the metropolitan area
suburbs, and budgeted funds available, a 4% adjustment in the
matrix for 1992 is reasonable.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the
City of Mendota Heights that the Grade and Step Pay Matrix
attached hereto as Appendix A, is hereby adopted as Appendix A of
Resolution No. 87-67, adopted by the City Council on July 7,
1987.

Adoption of New Park Dedication Formula
Proposed Resolution No. 91 -
DISCUSSION
At the December 3rd City Council meeting, the City Council
adopted a park dedication fee of $750 per lot for subdivision of
new lots in Mendota Heights. Council also adopted new language for
commercial/industrial subdivisions stating the cash contribution
should not exceed ten (10) percent of land value. Following
adoption of the new formula for park contribution fees, Council
directed staff to prepare the appropriate resolution.
Item (c) in the resolution is the new clause Council adopted
to address subdivisions in commercial/industrial zoning districts.
The percentage is based upon fair market value according to State
Statute. (See attached Minn. Stat. 462.358, Subd. 2b.) This
clause is also consistent with our Parks and Open Space Ordinance,
Section 6.1, which states:
... to contribute ten (10) percent of final plat gross area to
be dedicated to the public for their use as either parks,
playgrounds, public open space, trail systems, water ponding
or to contribute an equivalent amount of cash, based upon
conditions outlined below. The form of contribution (cash or
land, or any combination of) shall be decided by the City
Council based upon need and conformance with approved City
plans.
The attached, proposed resolution would enact the park
contribution formula desired by City Council and I recommend that
Council adopt this resolution establishing a park contribution
formula.
ACTION REQUIRED
If the Council so desires, they should pass a motion adopting
Resolution No. 91- , RESOLUTION AMENDING RESOLUTION 80-16,
ESTABLISHING A PARK CONTRIBUTION FORMULA.

CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS
MEMO
TO: Mayor, City Council, City Admini
FROM: Kathleen M. Swanson
SUBJECT: Revised Contractor Licensing Ordinance
INTRODUCTION
December 11, 1991
On November 19th, Council reviewed information regarding the
State licensing of contractors. Council confirmed that the City
should continue licensing those trades not exempted by statute
and directed staff to prepare an amendment to the license
ordinance.
DISCUSSION
Staff has drafted and attached a proposed ordinance to amend
Ordinance No. 601 in its entirety. The proposed ordinance
differs from the existing one in the following respects.
A. A definition section has been added. This is a multi-
purpose section. It was designed to provide guidance to
City staff in determining which contractors must be
licensed, to provide information for contractors, and to
incorporate statutory definitions for those enterprises
which are (or will be) exempt from City licensing.
B. The "Licenses Required" section has been refined and
expanded. The term "general contractor" no longer appears
in the list, nor is it defined within the ordinance.
Instead, those trades which had been licensed as general
contractors, such as building demolition, carpentry,
drywall installation, fireplace construction and
commercial building contracting, are now required to be
licensed for their specific trade. New trades included in
the proposed ordinance but not licensed in the past
include garage door installation and fire protection
system installation. The proposed "licenses required"
list was developed by the Code Enforcement Officers,
licensing clerk Maria Karels and me. It was developed on
the premise that those trades which are not licensed by
the state and affect building integrity and the safety of
property owners should be licensed by the City as a
measure of protection for its residents.
C. The City's license year is January 1st through December
31st. One constant problem in the past has been that
contractors apply for and receive licenses during the
year, submitting bonds and insurance certificates which
begin and expire during the year rather than on December
31st. Thirty days prior to expiration of the bond and
insurance, licensees are notified that they must submit
renewals. Many times the notice is ignored and the
contractor continues working in the City. The proposed
ordinance includes a provision that licenses will expire
upon expiration of the bond and insurance. Contractors
who do not submit renewal certificates will, if the
ordinance is adopted, be required to initiate a renewal
license (including renewal application and full annual
fee) if they wish to continue working in the City.
RECOMMENDATION
I recommend that Council adopt the attached Ordinance.

motion to adopt Ordinance No. 281 "AN ORDINANCE AMENDING

FROM: Larry Shaughnessy, Treasurer
December 11, 1991
SUBJECT: Somerset 19 Fire Protection Improvements
Job No. 9124
Improvement No. 91, Project No. 8
HISTORY:
i
A public hearing on the proposed fire protection improve-
ments at the Somerset 19 Condominiums project has been called for
8:00 P.M. on December 17.
All of the owners of Somerset 19 petitioned the City to
finance the proposed improvements which include a standpipe, self
closing hinges, alarm system, heat detector system, trash chute
sprinkler, smoke alarms and penetration sealants.
At the time of the petition the total cost of the improve-
ment was estimated at $27,250.08 and the notices to residents was
based on this amount of $1,238.64 per residential unit.
Actual bids have reduced the total project to $24,125.60 and
the assessment roll attached reflects the reduced amount of
$1,096.62 per unit.
Homeowners may prepay the proposed assessment at any time up
to October 1, 1992, at which time the roll will be certified to
the County at an interest rate of eight percent (8%) over a ten
year period.
ACTION,REOUIRED:
Conduct hearing on the proposed improvement and if accept-
able, adopt Resolution No. 91- , RESOLUTION ORDERING IMPROVE-
MENT AND ADOPTING AND CONFIRMING ASSESSMENTS FOR FIRE PROTECTION

RESOLUTION NO. 91 -
RESOLUTION ORDERING IMPROVEMENT AND
ADOPTING AND CONFIRMING ASSESSMENTS FOR FIRE
PROTECTION IMPROVEMENTS TO SERVE SOMERSET 19 CONDOMINIUMS
(IMPROVEMENT NO. 91, PROJECT NO. 8)
BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Mendota Heights
as follows:
WHEREAS, the City Clerk has calculated the proper amount to be
specially assessed for the costs incurred to date with respect to
Improvement No. 91, Project No. 8, construction of standpipe,
self closing hinges, alarm system, heat detector system, trash
chute sprinkler, smoke alarms and penetration sealants to serve
Somerset 19 Condominiums; and
WHEREAS, the proposed assessment roll has been on file with the
Clerk and at all times since its filing has been open for public
inspection; and notice thereof has been duly published and mailed
as required by law. Said notice stated the date, time and place
of such meeting; the general nature of the improvement; the area
proposed to be assessed; that the proposed assessment roll has
been on file with the Clerk; and that written or oral objections
thereto by any property owner would be considered; and
WHEREAS, said hearing was held at 8:00 o'clock P.M. on Tuesday,
December 17, 1991, at the City Hall in the City of Mendota
Heights, Minnesota; and
WHEREAS, the Mayor announced that the hearing was open for the
consideration of objections, if any, to said proposed assess-
ments; and
WHEREAS, all persons present were then given an opportunity to
present oral objections, and all written objections theretofore
filed with the Clerk were presented and considered.
NOW THEREFORE, this Council, having heard and considered all
objections so presented, and being fully advised in the premises,
and having made all necessary adjustments and corrections, finds
that each of the lots, pieces and parcels of land enumerated in
the proposed assessment roll was and is specially benefited by
the construction of said improvements in not less than the amount
of the assessment, as corrected, set opposite the description of
each such lot, piece and parcel of land, respectively, and that
such amount so set out is hereby levied against each of the
respective lots, pieces and parcels of land therein described;
and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the proposed assessment roll as so
corrected is hereby adopted and confirmed as the proper special
assessment for each of said lots, pieces and parcels of land
respectively, and the assessment against each parcel, with the
interest at the rate of eight percent (8%) per annum accruing on
the full amount thereof from time to time unpaid, shall be a lien
concurrent with general taxes upon such parcel and all thereof.
The total amount of each such assessment as fire protection
improvements shall be payable in equal amounts extending over a
period of ten (10) years; the first of said installments, togeth-
er with interest on the entire assessment. The first year inter-
est shall commence October 1, 1992 and interest for the first
year shall be from October 1, 1992 to December 31, 1992, to be
payable with general taxes for the year 1992, collectible in 1993
(now designated as real estate taxes payable in 1993), and one of
each of the remaining installments, together with one year's
interest on that and all other unpaid installments, to be payable
with general taxes for each consecutive year thereafter until the
entire assessment is paid.
NOW THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED by the City Council of the
City of Mendota Heights, Minnesota as follows:
1: That prior to October 1, 1991, the owner of any lot,
piece or parcel of land assessed hereby may at any time
pay the whole of such assessment, without interest to
the City Treasurer,
2`
That the Clerk shall prepare and transmit to the County
Auditor a certified duplicate of said assessment roll
with each then unpaid installment and interest set
forth separately, to be extended upon the proper tax
lists of the County, and the County Auditor shall
thereafter collect said assessments in the manner
provided by law.
3. That said improvements shall hereafter be know and
designated as Improvement No. 91, Project No. 8.
Adopted by the City Council of the City of Mendota Heights this
17th day of December, 1991.

From: Kevin Batchelder, Administrati
Subject: Park Dedication Offer
Mr. Ted Van - Mallard Lane Outlot
DISCUSSION
At the December 10, 1991 Parks and Recreation Commission
meeting, the Commission considered an offer from Mr. Ted Van to
donate an outlot to the City as park land. The outlot is located
along Mallard Road which is across the pond from City Hall.
(Please see attached memos and maps.)
1
The Parks and Recreation Commission felt this donation might
prove to be an excellent addition to our park system. The attached
map shows the Van property (labeled Sunview Hills) and its
proximity to other City property and the potential Olin subdivision
dedication. Mr. Van is requesting that the City allow him to
continue to use and maintain the property for horse pasture until
such time as the park develops.
RECOMMENDATION
The Parks and Recreation Commission unanimously recommended
that the City Council accept this park donation offer and thank Mr.
Ted Van for his generous donation.
ACTION REOUIRED
1
If the Council desires to implement the Parks and Recreation
Commission's recommendation, they should pass a motion accepting
the park donation offer from Mr. Ted Van and thanking him for his
generous donation.
Based upon an acceptance of Mr. Van's offer, Council should
also direct staff to begin survey and legal procedures to acquire
the deed for the land.
CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS
MEMO
TO: Park and Recreation Commission
FROM: James E. Danielson
Public Works Director
SUBJECT: Van - Park Dedication Offer
DISCUSSION:
December 6, 1991
Mr. Ted Van platted five single family lots located east of
Hunter Lane a few years ago. As part of that plat Mr. Van was also
required to plat a street (Mallard Lane) that would provide future
access to the interior portion of the large block. A large portion of
this interior block is owned by Dr.,Jim Olin. Dr. Olin is currently
preparing plans to develop this land and that development does not use
Mallard Lane for access. Construction of Mallard Lane would require
the filling of a portion of a protected wetlands, and it is highly
unlikely that the Federal agencies required to approve such filling
would allow it to be done. Dr. Olin proposed to dedicate his portion
of the wetland and the land surrounding it to the City for Park. This
dedication would occur at the time his development goes forward.
Mr. Van had also platted an outlot adjacent to Mallard Lane. This
outlot would have been developed as a single family lot when Mallard
Lane was constructed. Mr. Van has been paying taxes on that outlot as
a buildable lot ever since it was created.
Mr. Van recently approached the City to discuss different ways in
which he could develop the outlot. After reviewing several options he
has come to the conclusion that the best use for the land would be to
dedicate it to the City for park land.
Staff agrees that the park land option would be an excellent use
for the property. When combined with the future park dedication from
the Olin Subdivision and existing City Hall land, this area could
provide a very large passive park surrounding City Hall; This park
could then ultimately have a trail system constructed that would
provide an enjoyable natural walking area (see attached map).
ACTION REOUIRED:
Review Mr. Van's proposed park dedication proposal and make a
recommendation to the City Council on whether the City should accept
Dr. Van's proposal.

MEMO
December 12, 19
To: Mayor, City Council and City Administ
From: Kevin Batchelder, Administrative Assista
Subject: Preliminary Kensington Park Plans
Recommendation to Order Final Plans and Specifications
BACKGROUND
The design of Kensington Park was assigned to City staff for
development and presentation to the Parks and Recreation Commission
and the City Council. Preliminary layouts were discussed at the
October 8th and November 12th meetings of the Park and Recreation
Commission. Copies of the plans and memos have been provided to
Councilmembers to inform them of the progress.
Following the November 12th meeting, staff discussed the
layout of the soccer fields with representatives of Sting Soccer
and Mend -Eagan Soccer. The suggestions of the soccer
representatives were included in plans submitted to the Commission.
The soccer representatives attended the December 10th Parks and
Recreation Commission meeting. The Parks and Recreation
Commission's recommendation on South Kensington Park is based upon
the suggestions incorporated in the preliminary plans and the
discussion at the December 10th meeting. (Please see December 10,
1991 Park and Recreation minutes.)
The North Kensington Park was discussed at the October,
November and December Parks and Recreation Commission meetings and
discussion focused upon the level of activity for this park ranging
from a passive park to a highly active park. Hagstrom-King Park
was included in the discussion of uses at North Kensington Park.
At the November meeting, the Commission intended to make
Hagstrom-King Park a "greener" park with walking trails, small
picnic areas, additional grading and landscaping in the areas
overlooking the ponds to provide a quiet, scenic, contemplative,
passive park for residents. Under this scenario, North Kensington
becomes the active park with tennis courts, basketball courts,
horseshoes, parking lot, trails, and picnic shelters.
The Commission's recommendation was to provide only a grass
field at North Kensington at this time to let development dictate
the permanent design in the future. The Commission intends to
revisit the discussion of Hagstrom-King and North Kensington Parks
and the park uses for each in the future.
DISCUSSION
The Parks and Recreation Commission's recommendation is that
Council adopt the preliminary concept design for Kensington Park.
This will allow Parks Project Manager Guy Kullander to begin
preparing the final plans and specifications. The final plans and
specifications would then be brought to the Parks Commission and
City Council for approval in order to seek bids for construction.
The City Council, if they approve the concept plans, should
also consider directing Parks Project Manager Kullander to seek
proposals for architectural designs of the building in South
Kensington Park. Station 19 Architects, who designed the Mendakota
building, provided premier services at reasonable costs to the
City. Mr. Kullander would like to seek proposals from them for
the design of this building. Guy will be prepared to discuss this
more fully at Tuesday night's meeting.
The recommended preliminary plan basically provides for a
"grass field only" temporary design for the North Kensington Park.
For South Kensingtion Park a design for a soccer facility was
worked out by the Commission, soccer representatives and staff.
The Parks and Recreation Commission's recommendation for the
concept design of Kensington Park is provided in detail in the
attached document titled Recommendations and Cost Estimates. Each
recommendation includes a cost estimate. (Please read this
carefully for a discussion of the details of each recommendation.)
Funds Available
Funding of improvements to the "third ballfield site" was
provided for in the second referendum question of $700,000.
Approximately $95,000 from Question One not yet spent is also
available. Combined, a total of $795,000 is available to complete
the improvements the referendum was intended for.

Funds needed: Best case = $ 50,000
Worst case = $131,000
City Council should consider the need to "set aside"
approximately $125,000 to $200,000 for funding the above listed
unfulfilled needs and trail improvements.
Funding Available for Kensington Park
Given the above information, available funding for Kensington
Park is approximately $600,000, should Council desire to fund the
above listed items. The $600,000 is the -last of referendum funding
for improvements. As a policy decision, Council needs to determine
how much of the remaining available funding will be designated for
Kensington Park.
The recommended design has a preliminary cost estimate of
$443,100 as detailed in Recommendations and Cost Estimates.
Additional costs for play equipment, an additional NSP pole and
relocation of NSP poles would add up to $100,000 to the cost
depending on how far the City desires to go to address the
encroachment of the NSP high wires on the soccer field. NSP has
promised to send a written estimate of mitigation options and costs
that we hope will be available for the Tuesday night meeting.
RECOMMENDATION
The Parks and Recreation Commission recommended unanimously
that City Council approve the concept design as follows:
South Kensington Park
1. The soccer facility be designed according to Option B with two
crowned fields, as relocated away from the NSP power lines.
2. That staff provide written estimates from NSP regarding
possible relocation and raising of the existing power lines
away from the eastern soccer field.
3. Fencing on the site should be six feet around the perimeter,
with ten foot fencing behind the fields on the north and south
and a twenty eight foot high kick barriers behind each goal
adjacent to I-494.
4. Sprinkling and irrigation of the soccer fields.
5. No softball/baseball backstops be included.
6. No lighting of the soccer fields shall be included.
7. No concession area be included in the building.
8. A storage area for soccer nets and equipment be included in
the building.
9. Two or three small picnic shelter areas be included instead of
an overhang attached to the building.
North Kensington Park
That the North Kensington Park be a "grass field only" as a
temporary solution with the design concept to be explored in the
future for permanent uses.
ACTION REQUIRED
Parks Project Manager Guy Kullander and Parks Chairperson John
Huber will be present to provide a detailed presentation of the
recommended concept design and to answer questions.
If the City Council desires to implement the Parks and
Recreation Commission recommendation, they should:
1. Discuss the remaining referendum funding, future improvements
including Kensington Park, and levels of funding.
1. Pass a motion endorsing the recommended concept design, and
directing the Parks Project Manager to proceed with final
plans and specifications based on the preliminary design and
its cost estimates.
2. Discuss the need and timing of retaining an architect for the
design of the proposed building, and provide direction to the
Parks Project Manager.

RECOMMENDATIONS AND COST ESTIMATES
NORTH KENSINGTON PARK
The Parks and Recreation Commission recommends that no
permanent improvements be constructed in this park at this time.
Fine grading, spreading topsoil and application of seed and
fertilizer would constitute the work done at this site in 1992
(see Drawing A).
Construction of permanent improvements or facilities will be
recommended when the needs and desires of the residents in the park
service area are known.

SOUTH KENSINGTON PARK
The preliminary design of the fields conformed to the Citizens
Park Review recommendations of one full size (300' by 390') field
and one large (240' by 360') field located in this park. To
accomplish this it was necessary to locate the easterly field
partially under the NSP power lines.
The Commission received recommendations from the Mend -Eagan
Soccer Commission, Dave Libra, and from several coaches of the
Sting Soccer Program. They felt that the full size 300' by 390'
field was not needed. They prefer a field size of 240' by 360' and
strongly recommended the fields be moved as far west, away from the
overhead power lines, as possible.
The Commission recommends that two large fields (1 - 240' by
360' and 1 - 240' by 350') be constructed (see Drawing B) . The
fields would be fully crowned for drainage, and be located as far
west on the site as possible. Ten foot high fence will be located
on the south and north ends of both fields. Six foot perimeter
fence will separate the Centex development on the west. Tall,
twenty-eight foot fence will be installed behind the south goals to
block balls from I-494.
A parking lot for 80 vehicles will be constructed with access
to Concord Way. Trails to the east and north will also be
constructed. An appropriate amount of landscaping will be
installed with extensive tree plantings along I-494 right-of-way
fence to block stray balls and lessen highway noise.
Play Equipment
To conform with other City parks, a play area is included.
Not as large as the Mendakota Park but more the size of those in
other neighborhood parks. Current federal regulations regarding
handicap accessibility and equal play experience requirements may
escalate the cost of this play area. Guidelines are not yet
published so delaying the installation of the equipment for a year
was recommended.
Shelter
For picnickers, a larger roof overhand on the comfort station
was first preferred by the Commission. After further discussion it
was decided smaller roof structures for one or two tables situated
away from the parking lot were more desirable. These structures
would each cover 150 to 250 square foot area. Benches, bike racks,
etc. will also be provided.
Building
The Commission desired permanent toilet facilities in the
south park. This building would also include mechanical systems
for the field irrigation, storage area for park maintenance,
storage for goal nets, drinking fountain, vending machine space and
extra overhang for shelter on the side adjacent to the play
equipment. The building itself will be approximately 450 square
feet in size and will not contain a concession area (see Drawing
C) .
Power Lines
Movable bleachers, player benches and goals (both youth and
full sizes will be available for use). The portable units will
accommodate whatever play configuration the fields are striped for.
The soccer coaches felt the NSP highline located over the
northeast corner of the field would hinder play and strongly
recommend the lines be raised or moved.
NSP could install an additional set of poles at the low sag
point for approximately $20,000. To move the lines easterly of the
existing alignment would create a more costly problem because:
a. This would create an angle point which requires a larger
structure (3 or 4 poles) due to the stress.
b. The line would have to be spliced to add additional
length to the wire.
c. Easements must be purchased from the Centex lots to the
east.
d. If the lines are stressed, guy wires would also be
needed. These would need anchor points 50' out from the
poles which would adversely impact the fields and require
more easement.

MEMORANDUM
TO: MENDOTA HEIGHTS PARKS AND RECREATION COMMISSION
FROM: DAVE LIBRA, SOCCER COMMISSIONER
MEND-EAGAN ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION
RE: KENSINGTON PARK PLANS - MEAA SOCCER PROGRAM
DATE: DECEMBER 10, 1991
I have served as the soccer commissioner for the Mend -Eagan
Athletic Association ("MEAA") for the past three years. MEAA
Fall soccer is a recreational program for boys and girls from
kindergarten through eighth grade. League plays begins the last
week of August and continues through the beginning of October.
During the past three years, the number of soccer players in
our program has doubled to approximately 400. The distribution
of children last year was approximately as follows:
Grades K-1
Grades 2-3
Grades 4-5
120 players
120 players
100 players
Grades 6-7-8 60 players
We had a total of 34 teams at all Grade levels. Based on
increased participation and additional children in the area, the
number of players may double again in the next three to five
years. For your reference, I am attaching a copy of the
guidelines for our Fall soccer program.
For 1991, Grades K-1 played in open, unmarked areas at
Mendota School and at Wentworth Park. Grades 2-3 played on the
softball fields at Wentworth Park, Ivy Hills Park, and Friendly
Hills Park, which all include a portion of the dirt softball
.infield within the soccer field. Grades 4-8 played at the Sibley
High School Fields, which are subject to conflicts in scheduling
with the high school teams and activities.
We appreciate the cooperation by the staff and public works
department of the City of Mendota Heights, School District 197,
and the Sibley High Athletic Department. However, a soccer
complex containing three fields would assist the continued growth
and improvement of our program for the children of 'Mendota
Heights. As shown by the attached Season and Soccer Saturday
schedules for Grades 2-3, the scheduling of teams on existing
fields is complicated.
South Kensington Park Design. North Kensington Park Plan B,
based on recommendations from Sting coaches, is the best design
for the area. With the additional items included in the attached
"Mendota Heights Soccer Complex" Summary, the fields should be an
excellent soccer complex for both Fall and Summer programs. For
our Fall program, the larger fields could be lined and used as
necessary by Grades 4-8. Additionally, the same fields could be
shortened or used sideways as necessary for younger children.
The fields should be crowned, sprinkled, and fenced to
provide quality playing areas. If feasible, lights would permit
evening games and practices during the Fall. Additionally, the
fields should be dedicated only to soccer to avoid scheduling
problems and field damage.
North Kensington Park Design. North Kensington Park Plan A
with an open field approximately 150 feet by 270 feet would be
ideal for our program. The additional field would permit
scheduling of season and season-end games with a minimum of
travel and confusion. Additionally, a practice field would be
available to relieve pressure on the grass of the main fields.
The field would be preferable to Wentworth, Ivy Hills and
Friendly Hills Parks because it would not include any portion of
a dirt infield. This would fulfill an objective of the Citizens
Parks Review Committee to provide all grass playing surfaces
without altering existing parks.
The same field could be used for pick-up baseball and
softball games, football games, kites, picnics, etc. I believe
that additional open, level areas are necessary in the community
to promote organized play, unorganized play, and green space in
the city. Additionally, the initial and ongoing expense of an
open field should be considerably less than tennis courts,
basketball courts, and other play structures.
The opportunity to have three soccer fields within
Kensington Park is extremely valuable and should not be lost.
Based on my discussions with City staff, there will not be
another opportunity.
Equipment. The City provided four new adult-size steel
goals and nets last year. Two additional adult-size goals and
nets should be provided for the third field at Kensington Park.
Additionally, eight youth-size nets would be helpful to permit
cross -use of the fields for smaller children. For reference,
this is commonly done at fields located in neighboring
communities such as Cottage Grove and Apple Valley. The goals
and bleachers should be portable to provide flexibility and easy
maintenance.
Summary. Two crowned, sprinkled and fenced fields should
be constructed at South Kensington Park in accordance with Plan B
and the attached Summary. These fields should be dedicated to
soccer. An additional multi -use, all grass field should be
provided at North Kensington Park. These fields will provide the
children of our community with a quality soccer area which
minimizes our dependence on or conflicts with the scheduling of
other sports and the local schools. We will still need to use
other parks and school facilities, especially as the program
expands, but at least we will have a good base to build on. This
was one of the main objectives of the Citizens Parks Review
Committee and the voters in the bond referendum.
.Soccer is one of the least expensive sports for children to
participate in. The equipment and maintenance required for
soccer fields is also very reasonable. The Fall and Summer
soccer programs provide an alternative sport for a growing number
of children in the community. We look forward to working with
the Parks Commission and the City to provide a quality youth
soccer complex for Mendota Heights children at Kensington Park.
If I can be of further assistance, please call me at
451-9700 (home) or 338-5815 (work).

Need: Park dedicated to Youth Soccer.
South Park Field #1.- 120 yds. by 80 yds.
South Park Field #2 - 120 yds. by 80 yds. is clearly preferable. However,
due to high wires over the goal on Field 2, we under-
stand a full size field may be *possible.
North Park Field - 80 yds. x 50 yds. for younger players
Specific Needs
1. Drainage: Fields 1 and 2 should both be crowned with catch basins on --
sides to facilitate proper drainage.
2. An additional high wire pole should be added to raise the wire to a height
of 38 ft. over field 2.
3. Fencing Needs:
a. 10 to 12 foot high fence adjacent to highway 494 with 28 foot high
backstop behind penalty area (which is 44 yds. long).
b. Other fencing - 6 feet high essentially all the way around the park.
In addition, need doors to open, enabling retrieval of ball when ball
goes over top.
4. Sprinkling system to insure quality grounds and safe conditions.
5. Optimum distance between fields is 60 feet. If space is a problem, 40
feet minimum between fields is tolerable.
6. A baseball backstop on field 1 is totally -unacceptable as it will only
cause more injury to a severely stressed soccer field. After Spring,
Summer and Fail soccer the field will already be in poor condition.
7. Need concession stand and storage area large enough to store nets, flags
after games and store goals in Winter. Concession stand should be large
enough to house 2 or 3 people who vend chips, pop, and candy during
tournaments.
8. Need lights for games that are played later in evening in Spring and Fall,
and to a lesser degree in the Summer.
-Over-
Miscellaneous Points
Youth Participation
- 150 Mendota Heights Sumner Soccer players
- 400 Mend Eagan Fall Soccer players
- The program has doubled in the last three years and it is anticipated it
will double in the next three to five years.
Current Mendota Heights Soccer Fields: In the Summer there is only one under-
sized soccer field provided by Mendota Heights. This field can only be used
by players age 12 or under. Mendota Heights has a responsibility to provide
fields for older youth players. This is reasonable in light of what is
provided to Softball/Baseball, Tennis and biking paths.

Per our conversation on Friday, December 13, 1991, your request to
install an additional structure to accommodate the soccer field. Roger
Johnson has given an estimate cost of $15,000-$20,000 to install the
additional H -frame structure. This is only a ball park figure. In the
event the decision is made that the structure is necessary, the City of
Mendota Heights will have to enter into a Preliminary Engineering
Agreement with NSP and a down payment of 80Z of the indicative estimate.
In addition, you inquired about moving the structure off the centerline
of our easement. Depending on what type of structure needed, the angle
of the line, guying necessary and additional easement rights needed, the
cost could escalate to double or triple the estimate of 515,000420,000.

TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Tom Lawell, City Adminis
SUBJECT: MSP Fanned Corridor Test Proposal
INTRODUCTION
December 13, 1991
On November 19th, the Council adopted Resolution No. 91-82
establishing the Air Noise Litigation Escrow Fund. As part of that
Resolution, the City identified various steps which would be taken
during the coming months, including the submission of a Fanned
Corridor Test Proposal to the Metropolitan Airports Commission and
the Federal Aviation Administration by December 31, 1991. The
intent of this memo is to outline the details of the package
proposed for submission.
DISCUSSION
As you may recall, the ANLEF Resolution refers directly to the
City commissioned Braslau/Collette Corridor Study which was issued
in August of 1989. Given the time which has elapsed since its
issuance, a copy of the full study is enclosed. This document will
constitute the City's formal Fanned Corridor Test Proposal in our
submittal. Additionally, it is proposed that a copy of the ANLEF
Resolution be sent, along with the attached three page cover
letter.
Since Council adopted the Resolution, Mayor Mertensotto and I
were contacted by Mr. Joe Meagher regarding the City's Corridor
Proposal. Mr. Meagher expressed concern that the Braslau/Collette
Study describes a corridor bounded by the headings of 090 degrees
on the north, and 150 degrees on the south (see page 3.2 of the
report). While the MAC and the FAA contend they have the right to
route aircraft as far north as 090 degrees, Mr. Meagher does not
agree, and is upset that the City would propose a concept which
includes such a heading. Mr. Meagher indicates he will be present
on December 17th to express his concerns to the full Council.
ACTION REQUIRED
Council should review the attached materials and if
appropriate, direct staff to submit the Fanned Corridor Test
Proposal Package to the MAC and the FAA by December 31, 1991.

Dear Mr. Schillingand Mr. Wagoner:
I am writing to you to ask your help in solving the number one
community issue within Mendota Heights - aircraft noise emanating
from Minneapolis/St. Paul International Airport. Over the past
several years, our community has worked diligently with your staff
in an attempt to address this problem. To date these efforts have
proven ineffective at best.
I am asking for your support of a revised aircraft corridor to
solve this longstanding issue. The balance of this letter will
describe the reasons for our concern and the operational details of
the revised aircraft corridor request.
Background
To fully understand the inequities which presently exist in
air traffic distribution over our community, it is important to
recognize that major changes have taken place at MSP over the past
20 years. These changes include the HUB concept with its departure
peaks, physical improvements to Runway 11L/29R, air traffic.control
procedural changes, magnetic declination shifts of ground tracks to
the north, and most recently, the added use the corridor receives
under the Runway Use System. All told, these changes have
increased departure traffic off Runways 11L and 11R approximately
266 percent from 1977 to 1989.

Mr. Hugh Schilling
Mr. Bruce Wagoner

During this period of time, little has been done operationally
to recognize the changed character of flight operations at MSP.
Several attempts have been made by Mendota Heights to refine the
corridor working through MASAC, its various subcommittees, and most
recently, through a Blue Ribbon Task Force established in 1990.
None of these efforts have proven successful, and in fact, the
noise problem has instead grown progressively worse.
Consider the current situation regarding 11L and 11R
departures:
The Eagan/Mendota Heights Corridor was put into place
approximately 20 years ago when MSP was an infinitely
less active airfield.
The corridor restricts all turns by aircraft departing
Runway 11R by requiring aircraft to fly no further south
than extended runway center line for at least three
miles.
The corridor requires all aircraft departing Runway 11L
to immediately turn north over Mendota Heights such that
the resultant departure track diverges at least 15
degrees from the aircraft departing Runway 11R.
Current operational procedures for the corridor funnel
aircraft over long established Mendota Heights
neighborhoods causing repeated overflights by departing
aircraft every 80 to 90 seconds during peak departure
periods.
Since the corridor's inception, Mendota Heights has
consistently maintained equitable distribution of aircraft noise
amongst all communities surrounding MSP is the most desirable
answer to the airnoise problem. No one community should enjoy the
locational advantages of being close to MSP, while being
arbitrarily and artificially protected from the most obvious impact
of that close proximity, aircraft noise.
The failure to enact a more equitable distribution of aircraft
noise is even more disturbing when you realize there are no
operational or technical barriers precluding such distribution. In
fact, the concept of dispersing aircraft noise is put into practice
daily on every other runway end at MSP with the exception of
Runways 11L and 11R.
Mr. Hugh Schilling
Mr. Bruce Wagoner
December 31, 1991
Page 3
The recently completed Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)
for the extension of Runway 4/22 clearly indicates a preference for
more equitably distributing airnoise. Specific excerpts from the
EIS include (underlining added):
Page xiii "To increase use of the crosswind Runway
(Runway 4-22) to provide for a shift in some aircraft
noise away from the most heavily impacted residential
areas...."
Page xiii "The proposed project will allow for
redistribution of some flights...."
Page xvi "In addition to the noise redistribution
resulting from the project...."
Page 20 "The proposed extension of Runway 4-22... is
needed to immediately provide some reduction of the
aircraft noise in the most heavily impacted areas...
and to better distribute that noise."
- Page 90 "The shift not only begins to distribute
overflights more evenly around the airport...."
In fact, similar arguments were used in advocating for the
adoption of the current Runway Use System (RUS), and the selection
of the new North/South runway as the preferred expansion alter-
native in the MSP Long Term Comprehensive Plan. Aircraft dispersal
is an already accepted method of noise mitigation at MSP, and we
are asking for a commitment from the MAC to treat 11L and 11R
departures in a similar fashion.
Corridor Proposal
Based on the above, it is clear the present corridor
arrangement is long overdue for revision. After considerable
analysis, the City of Mendota Heights is submitting a request for
a revised aircraft corridor which addresses the noise equity issue
for 11L and 11R departures. Specifics of the proposal are as
follows:
Corridor Boundaries
Boundaries of the corridor during departure peaks are -
a) a 090 degree bearing from the Runway 29R middle
marker for Runway 11L.
Mr. Hugh Schilling
Mr. Bruce Wagoner
December 31, 1991
Page 4
b) a 150 degree bearing from the southeast end of
Runway 11R/29L.
Boundaries of the corridor during non -departure peaks
are -
a) a 110 degree bearing from Runway 29R middle marker
for departures off Runway 11L.
b) a 125 degree bearing from the southeast end of
Runway 11R/29L. '
Periods of Operation
The peak departure fanned corridor is intended to be used
only during the most intense departure periods at MSP.
Based on tower data, it appears such departure periods
occur on an average of approximately 5.5 to 6 hours per
day during the week, and three hours per day during
weekend days. Therefore, use of the fanned corridor
procedure is proposed to be capped at no more than eight
hours each day between the hours of 0700 to 2200L.
Summary and Conclusion
To summarize the new procedure, during peak departure periods a
full dispersal of aircraft over a 60 degree cone of operations is
proposed. This dispersal is consistent with departure activity
elsewhere around MSP, and is consistent with the rationale utilized
in the establishment of the RUS, the EIS for the extension of
Runway 4/22, and the selection of the North/South Runway as the MSP
expansion option of choice.
During non -peak departure periods, a smaller 15 degree cone of
operations is proposed, centered on the extended runway centerlines
of 29L and 29R. This approach respects the value of the corridor
concept during those periods when departure traffic can equitably
be contained within it.
It.•1s,: important to note that our revised corridor proposal does not
advocate for the total abandonment of an aircraft corridor. The
revised fanned corridor procedure is proposed during peak departure
periods only. At other times, when it is operationally feasible
and equitable to do so, we propose the containment of aircraft
within a more narrow corridor.
Mr. Hugh Schilling
Mr. Bruce Wagoner
December 31, 1991
Page 5
The City's continued support for MSP's operation has always
been contingent upon a sense of equity and balance. In the early
1970's no one could foresee the corridor use of 1991. The above
described proposal will help eliminate the repeated overflight
problem currently experienced within Mendota Heights, and will once
again restore equity and balance to departure operations off 11L
and 11R.
As described in the attached Resolution, the City intends to
aggressively pursue the implementation of this revised corridor
concept. In the event the MAC and/or the FAA deny this
application, or otherwise fail to affirmatively respond within 90
days, or if the requested test is conducted but the MAC and/or the
FAA fail to subsequently adopt a procedure acceptable to the City,
then the City of Mendota Heights will consider appropriate legal
action to address our concerns.
We are hopeful this matter can be resolved efficiently and
equitably as soon as possible, and we look forward to hearing from
you within the next 90 days.
Sincerely,

SUBJECT: Update on Mendota Interchange Storm Sewer Cost
Split Negotiations
DISCUSSION
Under the direction of the City Council, Staff met with Susan
Klein of Minnesota Department of Transportation to discuss
possible reductions in the city's share of storm sewer costs.
The meeting included discussion of BARR Engineering's
proposal to add city ponding areas, reduction in city
participation in cemetery property participation, elimination
of city participation in cross culvert costs, and discussion
of the industrial park drainage problem. Each of these
issues is presented in detail below.
City Ponding Areas
Option 1 of the BARR study would involve the construction of
additional holding ponds in city developments. Mn/Dot said
that these proposed design changes and the associated cost
savings to the city are acceptable provided the city can
guarantee these ponds will be constructed. This means the
city must acquire the easements, and/or include the partial
construction of the ponds in the project. Acceptance of this
item would save the city about $240,000.
Tax Exempt (Cemetery) Property
According to Susan Klein, Mn/Dot policy usually requires
cities to pay for the cost of serving tax exempt and cemetery
property with storm sewer. However, Mn/Dot staff is looking
into this issue because this is a special case. We should
have a response soon. Deleting tax exempt land from the cost
sharing would reduce the city contribution by about $80,000.
Cross Culverts
There is significant disagreement on this issue. Option 1 of
the BARR report stated that MnDot should pay for the Cray
Research cross culvert. The cost of this culvert is
approximately $100,000. Susan Klein stated at the meeting
C-
that MnDot will not pay for this cross culvert. Her position
is that this isn't a simple cross culvert, the Mendota
Heights industrial park system is a complex system and an
"Irresponsible design", and Mendota Heights would have to
install this culvert if the highway didn't exist, therefore
MnDot is not responsible for handling the water from Mendota
Heights.
Given that the MnDot policy statement has been the basis for
all of MnDot's cost split formulas, it seems highly
subjective for MnDot to interpret the policy different in
this one location. Also the reference to the irresponsible
design of the industrial park storm system is unfair and
ignores the complexity of the situation. The following
points concerning the cross culvert issue are presented in
response to MnDot's refusal to pay for the cross culvert.
1) The MnDot policy states, "The municipality should not be
charged for furnishing and installing culverts in
establishing waterways that cross the trunk highway,
unless some special design feature of sole benefit to the
municipality increases the cross-sectional area. Such as
increased runoff due to diverted drainage." No
significant diversion has occurred, and no special design
feature is requested. The city is just asking for MnDot
to pick up the existing established drainage.
2) The industrial park is an area over 300 acres in size, the
natural drainage was and still is in the general direction
of the Cray culvert. The volume of water flowing to
highway 13 from the industrial park is not that
significant considering the size of the drainage area.
350 cubic feet per second is only about 1 cfs per acre.
3) The industrial park is surrounded on all sides by
interstate and trunk highways. The Cray culvert is
necessitated by the fact that this is the natural drainage
way and there is nowhere else to drain the water. MnDot
won't allow Mendota Heights to divert water to T.H. 55 or
I-494, so the existing flow to T.H. 13 is the only place
to go. If there were no highways in existence the Mendota
Heights storm sewer system would be much simpler to
design.
4) MnDot has been aware of the problem as far back as 1969,
which was prior to the existence of the industrial park.
In the industrial park feasibility report by former City
Engineer Ed Kishel, reference is made to the fact that the
design of the storm system near T.H. 13 will be worked out
when MnDot completes the interchange project.
5) There are no natural holding ponds in the industrial park,
but there are several areas that collect storm water,
including the intersection of Mendota Heights Road and
Pilot Knob. The collection points significantly limit the
rate of flow onto highway right of way.
6) In the Environmental Assessment dated 1982 the statement
is made that the Interchange project will eliminate a
number of existing drainage problems. The Cray culvert is
almost certainly one of the problem areas, although there
was no specific reference made to which problems would be
eliminated.
Over the years Staff has been under the impression that MnDot
was going to take care of this problem. Jim Danielson was
told by Ed Kishel that the culvert problem would be fixed by
the State when the Interchange project was completed. Given
this fact, and the fact that this issue is still unresolved,
additional negotiations are warranted.
Industrial Park Drainage Problem
As discussed earlier, the intersection of Mendota Heights
Road and Pilot Knob Road is acting as a large holding basin.
This situation is unacceptable and could get worse. At the
December 3 Council meeting, Council directed Staff to work
with BARR and MnDot in order to find a solution for this
problem.
The most obvious solution would entail constructing a new
'storm system and oversizing the MnDot system to handle the
excess storm flows. This solution was presented to MnDot at
the meeting, and according to MnDot the downstream system is
not capable of handling additional storm flows. BARR is
currently looking at the downstream MnDot system to see if
modifications could be made so the system could carry the
extra water. Initial reports do not look good.
There are other possible solutions. In fact Council directed
BARR to look at all possible solutions, and recommend the
best one.
BARR has submitted an estimate of

order to reach an equitable cost split.
2) Accept and approve the attached BARR Engineering estimate

Re: Mendota Interchange
Dear Jim:
December 10, 1991
As you know, the tasks that we proposed in our letter dated October 11, 1991
to perform the Mendota Interchange cost reduction study are nearly complete. The
amount budgeted for the tasks, $11,000, has nearly all been spent. The City has
requested that Barr Engineering Co. (Barr) perform additional items not in the
scope of the October 11 letter. Therefore, this letter summarizes the scope of
work and a cost estimate for Barr to perform the added work.
The additional tasks identified by the City for Barr to perform are:
(1)
Attend one additional meeting with MnDOT personnel
(2) Study options for solving the flooding problems at the Mendota Heights
Road/Pilot Knob Road intersection.
The cost estimate for performing the above work is shown in the attached table.
It is anticipated that Tim Anderson will be performing the majority of the work.
We estimate an additional $1,635 is needed to perform task 1 above.
Included in the estimate is preparation for the meeting, attendance at the
meeting and one follow up meeting with City staff. Also included is time to
address comments made by MnDOT. This time includes 10 hours to prepare written
responses to questions they may have about our analysis.
We estimate the cost perform task 2 above is approximately $3,000. We
assume that we will work closely with City staff in the identification and study
of the feasible options. Much of the cost consists of computer modeling of
options that are identified. The modeling would help determine if certain
options are feasible, such as detention basins. If it is found that modeling
will not be required, the cost should be less than shown in the table. The
report will be approximately 5 to 10 pages in length, including figures and
tables. Barr will provide the City 10 copies of the report.
Mr. Jim Danielson
December 10, 1991 Page 2
It is proposed that Barr will perfo i - a:•ve work on a time and expenses
basis with a total billing not to excee' $4,525. Barr will notify the City
before work continues if it is anticipa e. tha' total billings will exceed
$4,525. We will commence work when given approval by the City.
Thank you for giving us the opportunity for working on this interesting and
challenging project. If you have any questions, please contact Tim Anderson or

Subject:
Adoption of Recycling Policies for 1992
Proposed Resolution No. 91 -
INTRODUCTION
In 1989, the City of Mendota Heights revised its Rubbish
Hauling Ordinance to require licensed rubbish haulers in the City
to provide recycling services as a condition of their license. The
revised Rubbish Hauling Ordinance stipulates that licensed haulers
will be reimbursed for recycling services as determined by Council
resolution.
The City Council adopted Resolution No. 89-42 spelling out the
policies of the recycling program and the terms of payment for
collection of recyclables. The terms of this resolution need to be
changed to account for the shift in recycling responsibilities and
funding from the City of Mendota Heights to the Dakota County
Physical Development Division, Recycling Program.
DISCUSSION
As Council was made aware during the budgeting process, the
funding from Dakota County to Mendota Heights for landfill
abatement activities (recycling) will decrease significantly in
1992. This is due to the fact that Dakota County will be taking
over the responsibility for monitoring and documenting collection
of recyclables by the haulers. Dakota County will also assume the
responsibility for subsidy payments to the haulers for recycling
collection.
The resolution establishing our recycling policies needs to be
changed to reflect the fact that the City will no longer be making
the payments for recycling services and that the hauler reports
should be furnished to the County's Physical Development Division.
The attached, proposed Resolution addresses the need to shift
reporting and payments to the County and rescinds the old policy.
4 ,e
At this point, it is not necessary to change the Rubbish Hauling
Ordinance, however, City Council should be aware that State law
will require the City to adopt a mandatory garbage collection
ordinance to take effect June 1, 1992. This mandate will require
all residents to have contracted garbage collection. To address
this mandate, and to bring our ordinance up to date, I will be
proposing a new and revamped Rubbish Hauling Ordinance in the near
future.
ACTION REQUIRED
If the Council so desires, they should pass a motion adopting
Resolution No. 91- , A RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING RECYCLING
POLICIES.
CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS
Dakota County, Minnesota
RESOLUTION NO. 91 -
RESOLUTION ESTABLISHING RECYCLING POLICIES
WHEREAS, Dakota County and the City of Mendota Heights have
entered a Joint Powers Agreement to accomplish landfill abatement
programs through recycling in 1989, 1990, 1991 and again in 1992;
and
WHEREAS, the Dakota County Board of Commissioners has
allocated funds to provide a portion of the costs incurred by City
of Mendota Heights to implement and operate a local curbside
recycling program; and
WHEREAS, on February 21, 1989 the City Council approved the
Rubbish Hauling Ordinance which includes recycling provisions
requiring all licensed haulers to provide recycling services; and
WHEREAS, the Dakota County Board of Commissioners approved
Board Resolution 91-482 adopting the Long Term Funding guidelines
for 1992 Community Landfill Abatement Administration and Education;
and
WHEREAS, said guidelines shift the responsibility for
documenting hauler reports and payment of recycling reimbursements
to licensed haulers from the local municipalities to the Dakota
County Physical Development Division's Recycling Program.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT HEREBY RESOLVED by the City Council of
the City of Mendota Heights that the following be adopted as the
City's policy on the Curbside and Multifamily Recycling Program:

between the City of Mendota Heights, Dakota County and the licensed
rubbish haulers by establishing policies for the City of Mendota
Heights' Recycling Program.
2. Term
This Resolution shall take effect on January 1, 1992 and will
remain in force and effect until such time as rescinded by City
Council.
3. Right of Amendment
The City of Mendota Heights may amend this resolution, with or
without cause, by giving written notice to the licensed hauler, at
least 10 days prior to such amendments.
4. City Obligations
The City of Mendota Heights shall fulfill the following:
a) Containers - The City of Mendota Heights shall supply a
container for every residential unit customer who signs
up to participate in the Curbside Recycling Program. The
containers remain the property of the City of Mendota
Heights. Containers which are lost, stolen, damaged or
otherwise in need of replacement will be purchased by the
residential unit customer for an amount equal to the cost
to the City.
Haulers will provide the appropriate containers for
multiple residential dwellings.
b) Participation - The City will provide each hauler with a
list of residential unit customers who have signed up for
recycling at the hauler's request. The list will provide
name, address and scheduled day of service. The City
will provide programs to build participation in the
recycling program and to educate residents about
recycling opportunities as per the Joint Powers Agreement
for Landfill Abatement with Dakota County.
5. Hauler Obligation
The licensed haulers in the City of Mendota Heights shall
fulfill the following:
a) Containers - The licensed haulers may collect recycling
bins from the City of Mendota Heights for distribution to
their customers for participation in the Curbside
Recycling Program.
b) Reports - The licensed haulers shall report to the Dakota
County Recycling Program, Physical Development Division,
on recycling activities as required in Mendota Heights
Ordinance #264 (codified as Ordinance #1004), Section
7.12. Dakota County will provide the form necessary for
these reports.
6. Payment for Collection of Recyclables
Based upon the submission of the required reports by the
licensed haulers, Dakota County shall provide payment for the
collection of recyclables at the County's discretion and as
established for 1992 in Dakota County Board Resolution No. 91-482.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of
Mendota Heights that Mendota Heights' Resolution No. 89-42 be
rescinded in its entirety.
Adopted by the City Council of the City of Mendota Heights this
Seventeenth day of December, 1991.
