Examination of the "plan" readily reveals that it is in fact an updating and minor modification of a report prepared by Midwest Planning and Research in November, 1967. In as much as that report was not intended to constitute a Comprehensive Plan, the current document falls short of what would normally be included in a typical comprehensive plan. You will note that the copy of the plan referred does not include any land use plan, or other graphics. The "plan" deals in a very minimal way with other elements of the planning process including long range provisions for municipal services of various kinds. We have discussed this with the Metropolitan Council staff, who have indicated their intent to recommend to the Council that the plan not be reviewed in its present form but that additional information be requested to augment the planning document as submitted. Under these conditions, we suggest that the Council authorize the sending of the attached letter to the Chairman of the Metropolitan Council so as to retain the option to review and comment on future additions to the plan. Howard Dahlgren Associates, Inc. October 21, 1975 t Mr. John Boland, Chairman Metropolitan Council 300 Metro Square Building St. Paul, MN 55101 RE: Sunfish Lake Comprehensive Plan Dear Mr. Boland, The City of Mendota Heights is in receipt of your "Notice of Review" received by the City on September 22, 1975 relating to the Metropolitan Council's review of the Comprehensive Plan for the City of Sunfish Lake pursuant to Minnesota law, Chapter 473-175. The City of Mendota Heights has reviewed a copy of the Comprehensive Plan as furnished to us by your staff. The plan,to the extent it has been referred to us, appears to be incomplete lacking among other things a land use plan or other graphics. Assuming additional material will ultimately be submitted to augment the plan as submitted, we would appreciate an opportunity to review such material at such time as it is received by the Council. Pending such review we would desire to reserve the right to call for a hearing if we find elements of the plan to be incompatible with the interests of the City of Mendota Heights. We are particularly interested in any policies or plans that would relate to the development of Interstate 494 through the City of Sunfish Lake, and future plans for the provisions for public utilities and municipal emergency services directly affecting the City of Mendota Heights. In the event the Metropolitan Council proposes to process consideration of the plan as submitted, we would desire a public hearing to clarify these two issues in particular.

PAUL MPLS. • 14 XAi - 01 DAKOTA W NTY Mr. Orvil J. Johnson 750 Plaza Drive South St. Paul, MN 55120 Dear Mr. Johnson: RECEIVED September 24, 1975 SEP 2 5 1975 Dakota County is attempting to improve its present receipt of Highway User Funds. The amount of the funds that Dakota County receives is due in part to the needs costs of reconstructing the County State Aid Highway System to an approved standard. The standard is due in part to the traffic volumes projected to a design year 20 years in the future. Consequently, the more traffic volume we have on a road, the more development expected within the area the higher the standard, the higher the cost and therefore, the higher the needs which should result in the County receiving a somewhat higher portion of the State Aid User Fund. I have recommended that the County Board revoke State Aid designation on approx- imately 24 miles of low volume rural area State Aid highways and designate the State Aid mileage to the northerly portion of the County where we have much greater traffic volumes and more rapid development. In revoking State Aid designation or establishing State Aid designation within the corporate limits of any city it is necessary that we receive approval from that particular city wherein the State Aid mileage is to be revoked or designated, therefore, I would appreciate very much if you would examine the proposed resolutions and submit them to your council for their consideration and approval at their next meeting. On those County State Aid Highways that are being revoked from State Aid designation the County Board will designate them into the County Road system and will continue to offer the some maintenance and construction schedule as is presently provided. Please let me know if you have any further questions or if I can furnish any further information. J E G/ma r Printed on 100% recycled paper Yours very trul , 1 � ` J. E.

Johnson City Administrator SUBJECT: Probationary Employee As you may recall, Mrs. Carol Bakka was employed as part-time police clerk on May 8, 1975. Her probationary employment period will expire on November 8. I have received favorable reports from Police Chief Baldwin on Carol's performance. In view of Marty's reports and my own personal observations of Carol's work habits and performance, I would recommend that she be given permanent employment status. I would recommend that her permanent employment be effective November 1 and that her salary be increased from $2.70 per hour to $2.97 per hour, also effective on November 1, 1975. �CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS TO: City Council FROM: Orvil J. Johnson City Administrator SUBJECT: PERSONNEL CONSIDERATIONS are: MEMO October 15, 1975 This memo will deal with two matters, somewhat related. They 1. Harvey Franzmeier as acting Public Works Supervisor. 2. CETA Program, two employment positions. These matters are related both in budgetary considerations and operations. The concept contained herein was partially generated as a result of the budget discussion on October 7, and is presented for your consideration. Acting Public Works Supervisor Harvey Franzmeier has consented to fill the position of Acting Public Works Supervisor during an interim period. This period could be as long as eight months. As Acting Public Works Supervisor, I would recommend that Harvey receive an additional $100 per month over his position of Park Lead - man compensation. This will provide compensation for the additional respon- ibilities and duties beyond the position of Park Leadman. Consider the proposition of an Acting Public Works Supervisor for a period of eight months. This would terminate at June 30, 1976. During the ensuing eight months, we would employ one less regular employee in the Public Works Department. The savings of this type of an arrangement would amount to the salary for a maintenance man plus the associated fringe costs plus the differential between Harvey's supervisory salary and the established General Foreman salary. During the two remaining months of 1975, the savings would amount to approximately $2,300. During the six months in 1976, the savings would amount to approximately $7,450. The matter of Harvey acting as a supervisor for the coming eight months has been discussed very thoroughly with him. Several emergency schemes are being planned, which may require some temporary help or contractor help during heavy snow removal periods. However, I am satisfied that 99% of the public servicing can be provided during the winter months. Additional man hours at lower costs can be provided via CETA employment. CETA Program Dakota County has offered two additional CETA employees within Mendota Heights for (1) Park -keeper Aide and (2) Police Cadet/Comm. Service. Job descriptions are attached to this memo. These positions have been established after considerable discussions with Chief Baldwin, Bruce Levine, Harvey r Personnel Considerations -2- October 15, 1975 Franzmeier and Chet Pearson. fill positions, namely: I am proposing that we employ two persons to Police Cadet/Community Service Park -keeper Aide As you will note on the job descriptions, they will act as entry positions for the two departments, at a'salary more or less established by Dakota County Manpower. Their salary will be reimbursed by Dakota County, however, Mendota Heights must pay for fringe costs, namely, F.I.C.A., P-E.R.A., and insurance. The cost per employee will amount to about $265 in 1975 and approximately $790 for the six months in 1976. Current CETA funding covers thru June 30, 1976. I am proposing the employment of both a Public Works and Police Department employee. In 1975, the net savings will amount to approximately $1,770 ($2,300 minus $530). The six month period in 1976 will see a net savings of approximately $5,870 ($7,450 minus $1,580). If the program is not continued after June 30, 1976, if the applicants cannot find other work and if they file for unemployment compensation, the City could be liable for a maximum of $2,250 for each employee. A maximum total of $4,500 of course, would re- duce the savings to $3,000. I am suggesting the foregoing changes and practices in order to provide some additional man hours of service and yet institute budgetary savings. Applicants for both positions are currently being analyzed by Chief Baldwin, Harvey and myself and our recommendations on the most qualified applicants will be made Tuesday evening. In -summary, I believe that we can institute considerable budgetary savings in the next eight months, and provide additional man hours of public servicing with very little risk. To do this, I recommend: 1. Authorizing $100 per month additional compensation for the acting Public Works Supervisor position understanding that such would stand for approximately eight months. 2. Authorize employment of two persons to fill CETA positions at $800 per month. The positions being: a. Park -keeper Aide h. Police Cadet/Comm. Service MENDOTA HEIGHTS C.E.T.A. Position -- Title VI Police Cadet/Community Service QUALIFICATIONS: High School graduate with standard diploma. Willing to take written, oral, physical and psychological tests if requested to do so.

Salary: $9,600 CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS MEMO TO: City Council FROM: Orvil J. Johnson City Administrator October 17, 1975 SUBJECT: TASK FORCE COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION At the meeting held on Thursday, October 16, 1975 the Task Force members reviewed several of the physical characteristics of the T.H. 110 Lexington intersection. Mr. Glen Van Warmer was present to discuss Minnesota Highway Department interests and requirements. Included in the discussion was possible location of the proposed elevated water tank. I was requested to report Committee recommendations; this is my inter- pretation of the action: "Recommendation: If an elevated water tank is to be constructed, it should be located in the northeast quadrant of T.H. 110 and Lexington." The concensus of the members was that the City Council should request Minnesota Highway Department approval of said quadrant. Engineer data indicates favorable criteria for northeast location, see attached letter. Mr. Van Warmer is to provide overlays for the next meeting showing several possible relocated alignments of the proposed frontage road west of ,Lexington. He indicated that the road could possibly be relocated in a manner to better utilize the existing buildable area. ^ .� ./. �.

Johnson, Administrator City of Mendota Haights 750 South Plaza Drive Saint Paul, Minnesota 55120 Subject: Mendota Heights Elevsted Water Tower BTSC Job No. 7401 Dear Orvll: Some time ago, you requested that we look into the possibility of locating a proposed l^5M gallon elevated water tower in the northeast quadrant of STH YlO and Lexington Avenue between the Victoria Road frontage road and STH llO in lieu of a previously proposed similar location in the northwest quadrant of this intersection. We have reviewed the matter and find that from a technical point of view the northeast quadrant is even better than the northwest quadrant for the following reasons: l. The ground elevation is higher, thus the height of the structure can be kept shorter with the same static head developed. 2. We have e 12 inch water main on Victoria Frontage Road and a lG inch main on Lexington Avenue adjacent to the site allowing for two good connections to the water distribution system thus permitting considerable flexibility in the operation of the water system. ]' Locatl?g in the northeast quadrant will permit better planning and development for the Municipal Civic Site. 4. Without the benefit of test borings, the ground condition in the northeast quadrant appears to be such that s'pecial methods need not be utilized to provide adequate foundation for the tower. S. The size of the site app -ears to be adequate for the construction of a l.5M GAL tower. ' Mr^.Orvi\ J. Johnson, Administrator - 2 - 6 October 1975 .. On the negative side, we see the following: l. A row of overhead electric lines run through to south edge of the site adjacent to STH llO. This may hinder the flemibIlity of site. 2. The Minnesota Highway Department will have to concur in the use of the northeast quadrant for this purpose even though they have already agreed, in writing, to the use of the northwest quadrant. There may be other factors, pro or con, with regard to the use of the suggested site that we have not had time to look into. For now, it does appear to be an adequate site for an elevated water storage facility. Very.truly Edward F.
