PRESENTATIONS Mr. Nigel Finney, MAC Deputy Executive Director for Planning
and Environment, was present to give Council and the audience a
presentation on the Dual Track Airport Planning Process and the
associated draft Environmental Impact Statement.
Mr. Finney discussed the requirements of state statute and gave an
overview of the Executive Summary of the EIS. Mr. Finney gave a
slide presentation giving an overview of what has happened since
1989. He informed Council that if the statute which directed the
dual track process remains in place, MAC will be making a
recommendation to the Legislature in July of 1996.
Mayor Mertensotto asked about noise mitigation estimates.
Mr. Finney responded that the MAC is currently working with the
communities adjacent to the airport to come up with a noise
mitigation plan and hopes to have the cost information available
when the recommendation goes to the legislature.
Mayor Mertensotto stated that the currently information was that it
will cost twice as much to change if the mitigation factor has not
been included in the equa.tion.
Councilmember Smith stated that she did not have information on
what the components were in the cost figures, but re-use of the
existing facility is not included either, and it is entirely possible
that there would be some revenue derived from reuse.
Mr. Finney agreed, but sta.ted that MAC has not made an attempt
to allocate either any costs or any revenues from the existing site
for a couple of reasons. He explained that the ability of the
metropolitan azea to absorb that much acreage into its base is really
uncerta.in at this time so it is not known how quickly the property
could be sold and developed. He stated tliat at this time it has been
assumed that it is a revenue neutral issue. There will be some
costs associated with demolition of the existing facilities and some
revenues derived, but they will probably offset each other in the
long run.
Councilmember Krebsbach asked about increase to the tax base.
Mr. Finney responded that has not been factored in yet, as the
existing airport is not part of an existing municipality and there
would have to be legislative action to decide how to handle it in the
event there was a decision made to move the airport and redevelop
�
Page No. 4
December 19, 1995
the site. He stated that the airport is part of Hennepin County but
not part of any city.
Councilmember Smith sta.ted that an extension to the question is
- increase in the tax base because there would not be a depression in �- --
market values because of air noise.
Mr. Finney responded that the MAC has tried to look at that over
the years but has not come up with any clear indication as to what
extent there is any impact on market values of properties.
Councilmember Krebsbach pointed out that in his presentation Mr.
Finney has spoken about taking intuitive findings and turning them
into statistics.
Mr. Finney responded that he feels there is a difference between an
intuitive finding that can be quantified and documented as opposed
to impact on property values. He stated that there has never been a
court finding that there is an impact of values.
Councilmember Krebsbach stated that she is talking about the
other way - an intuitive finding on what increased tax value might
be.
Mr. Finney sta.ted that where that revenue would be allocated (the
legislature would have to make a decision on how to allocate the
revenue), and the extent to which development would occur are
open questions at this time. ,
Councilmember Krebsbach stated that she would like Mr. Finney
to look at it as an intuitive finding.
Mr. Finney suggested that Council could raise the question as part
of its response to the EIS if it so desires. He sta.ted that the purpose
is to let Council lrnow what is in the EIS and if it feels something
is missing or issues are not addressed, Council has the opportunity
to make those comments. He further stated that the comments
have to be addressed in the final EIS document.
Councilmember Smith stated that she noticed that projections are
relatively flat for the next 25 years and that she can hypothesize
that flights will likely take on more passengers per flight, which is
why it has flattened out.
Page No. 5
December 19, 1995
Mr. Finney responded that there are really two issues. There is an
assu.mption inherent in the forecast that as time goes on the size of
the aircraft fleet will increase.� For example DC-9s, with a capacity
of about 100 passengers will be replaced by an A-320 sized
aircraft which has a capacity of 128 to 130. There are also
assumptions about the load factor for each flight, which drives the
number of aircraft operations. Regarding noise abatements on the
flights, he stated that early in the process staff was directed to look
at potential changes in aircraft technology that might affect the
process. He explained that engineers from Boeing and McDonald
Douglas were conta.cted, and their indications were that the aircraft
which are around today (the 757's and A320's) will be around
during the planning process, and there would need to be some
significant change in technology to allow aircraft engines to get
much quieter than they aze today.
Councilmember Smith stated that Mr. Finney showed a slide on
the amount of waiting time for aircraft, and while the waiti.ng time
at a new airport would be relatively small, with the addition of one
runway at the existing airport it about halved the current waiting
time. She stated that they were divergent curves that fanned out,
and operations at the airport will not quit in 2020, so there will still
be a major delay even given the modest projections. She asked
what the plans aze for dealing with waiting time at that time. She
further asked if there will be a periodic review.
Mr. Finney responded that there is an artificial limit of 30 years
placed on the process, so there has been an attempt to project out to
2020. He stated that the Commission has taken the direction,
based on the legislation, to stop the analysis at 2020 and to look at
the flexibility of either one of the alternatives to accommodate
continued demand. He felt that at the existing site as demand goes
beyond the 520,000 operations forecast in 2020, the delay will
grow rapidly and a second runway would have to be built by the
tnne operations reach 600,000 per year. If the new airport were
constructed, the delay line stays much flatter and does not grow
anywhere nearly as quickly.
Councilmember Smith stated that one of the astounding things in
the study is that the new airport site is about 14,000 acres, and it is
expected that the 3,000 acre existing airport will perform as well.
Mr. Finney responded that what the analysis has shown is that the
existing site can be developed to accommodate the level of demand
that is anticipated for the future at delay levels about what they are
Page No. 6
December 19, 1995
today. He further stated that the consequence of retaining the
existing airport is accepting some additional delay for every
aircraft operation and there is�not a configuration that works as
acceptably as the new airport at getting aircraft into and out of the
�— airport. He pointed out that there are trade-offs which the MAC �
and Metropolitan Council must consider before making their
recommendation to the legislature.
Councilmember Krebsbach stated that her biggest cems are
noise abatement and the governance issue. She as co cemed � 1i'
over MAC's ability to regulate the airport an � ery the ���`d Q'"�
representa.tion on the MAC. She listed the co uni ' s where the
MAC Commissioners reside, pointing out that e mdividual who
represents Mendota Heights resides in Apple Valley and many of
the other Commission members aze from outstate and northern
suburbs. She pointed out that Mendota Heights takes 65% of the
flights and stated that she would like to see some evidence of MAC
representing the communities impacted by the airport. She also
wanted to see much more evidence of MAC regulating the airport
in terms of the sta.ge aircraft, flight patterns and times of flights.
She asked if there are any other airports in the U.S. or the world
which aze downtown airports in terms of a similar number of take
offs and landings, comparable number of flights and stage two
aircraft, and with so many neighborhoods impacted by the airport
operations. She stated that she is an advocate of preserving the
natural character of the city of Mendota Heights, and asked what in
policy would protect Dakota. County farmland. She felt that not
enough is done to protect farmland in the state.
Mr. Finney stated that protection of farmland is included in the
Metropolitan Council's Development Guide and each of the
townships have adopted 40 acre homesite minimum requirements.
He explained that a significant portion of the Dakota County
airport site is in agricultural preserve status now and will be for
some time, but there is no long term guazantee that there will not
be expanded development in the future.
Councilmember Krebsbach asked if any thought has been given to
impact on affordable housing.
Mr. Finney responded that there were evaluations done as pa'rt of
the environmental process, looking at it in terms of environmental
justice the findings were that there was not any disproportionately
high impact on low income housing.
Page No. 7
December 19, 1995
Mayor Mertensotto stated that there have been a number of court
cases nationally and a number of studies have been made as far as
the decrease in market value from aircraft noise
Mr. Finney responded that the FAA has endorsed and carried out
studies and has found that there has been some impact but the
impact differs and cannot be applied generally to communities. He
stated that Minneapolis has begun studies to see if there is impact
and they are seeing that there may be a one to two percent
difference in appreciation in property values.
Mayor Mertensotto stated that one of Council's major concerns is
the north parallel runway. He stated that the north parallel runway
points directly at Mendota Heights and would be devastating to the
city and to Sunfish Lake and West St. Paul as well. He pointe �
that Council cannot be sure that the north/south parallel wil e
built, particulazly if the activity at the airport increases to 600,000
operations and a new runway will be needed, and asked how
Council can address the issue at this time. He stated that the MAC
is now hying to keep everything south of T.H. 110, but a north
parallel would bring flights right over the heart of the city. He
pointed out that the city cannot rely that the north/south runway
��wi �e built and he was concerned that if Bloomington and
�6� iRichfield get their way, there may be a new shift �o the north
parallel. �r� ta (�,.e. co�.5{r,rcE-��� ��
NIr. Finney responded that there are really two issues, the north
parallel runway versus the northlsouth runway, and the north
parallel runway. He stated that the north/south runway is included
in the recommendation that MAC will make to the Legislature and
it would have legislative endorsement. The recommendation will
not include the north parallel runway to the extent that the north
parallel runway is not shown on the development plan. He
explained that the north pazallel runway is in response to continued
demand if the airport stays where it is, and the issue will have to be
addressed by the MAC as it struggles with its decisions.
Mayor Mertensotto stated that the noise contours aze not indicative
of the noise levels on the ground.
Mr. Finney stated that he agrees with Council on DNL 65, but
DNL 60 is more representative of what the cities feel the impact is.
He stated that while it has taken a long time, even the FAA has
come to the conclusion that a line can not be drawn where one side
of a block is impacted and the other is not. He felt that the agencies
Page No. 8
December 19, 1995
are slowly coming to a realization that they may have to go beyond
DNL 65 as it relates to noise mitigation in the future.
.
Mayor Mertensotto responded that he cannot conceive that MAC
-- can continue to use the same flight patterns all the time and�ay it
is the best they can do. He informed Mr. Finney that Council is
looking for an equitable distribution of air noise and the constant
repetitive over flights. He stated that many people built homes in
the south azea of the city in the 1950's and 1960's when runway
11L was only a taxiing use, and there was no dual operation. He
felt that it is not fair to say to those people that they knew the
airport was there when they built.
Councilmember Smith stated that she noticed that under economic
impacts in the study it is stated that noise mitigation will cost $1
million for the new airport and $13 million for MSP. She did not
think the report adequately addresses the issues nor does it state in
strong enough terms what the impact would be. She also asked
about expanded parking for MSP maintenance operations.
Mr. Finney responded that the statement relates only to sound
insulation. Regarding parking expansion, he stated that if one were
to compare the number of parking spaces to the number at
comparable airports, it would be much higher because there is a
maintenance facility at MSP. He sta.ted that Northwest Airlines
has indicated that if a new airport is built it will not relocate its
maintenance operations to the new airport. He stated that this
would cut 11,000 jobs at the new airport, and the indication is that
those jobs would be moved out of the state.
Councilmember Krebsbach stated that her issue is with regulation
of the MAC. She further stated th the countr� is moving into an
era of competition between city � state and asked if either the
existing or new airport would be world-class facilities. �
Mr. Finney responded that in his opinion both facilities are world
class. He stated that MSP has as good air access to the country as
any hub airport in the U.S. He further stated that there are other
airports that have more significant international activity, but he
believes some of that will change over the coming few years as
flights to Germany and Canada are added at MSP. �
Airport Relations Commission Chair Scott Beatty stated that on the
drawings the DNL 65 contour looks like it goes much farther out
than the commission has ever seen. He noted that DNL 65 has
Page No. 9
December 19, 1995
normally been at about I-35E, but on the year 2000 drawings, it is
farther out, which is in contrast to what has been said about Stage 3
aircraft shrinking the contours.
Mr. Finney responded that the outer west contour is actually at
LDN 60 on the drawings, and LDN 65 ends just about at the
intersection of I-35E and I-494. He stated that this is the year 2005
contour which assumes an all Stage 3 fleet.
Councilmember Smith stated that Mr. Finney has indicated that the
airport is becoming more sensitive even to the DNL 60 contours,
and asked how that will benefit Mendota Heights.
Mr. Finney responded that he thinks there is an attempt to put
together a package of noise mitigation measures that is intended to
focus beyond the DNL 65 contour. He further stated that he
believes funding for sound insulation will extend to DNL 60.
Councilmember Krebsbach asked if there has been any discussion
about the five generations of people not having access to the
confluence of the Minnesota and Mississippi Rivers. She stated
that the whole river valley is impacted by the noise which cannot
be mitigated and those who wish to walk the valley.
Mr. Finney responded that the issue has never been raised by the
DNR or any other agency. �
Airport Relations Commission member Dave Olson stated that he
is concemed about cargo operations. He asked if night flights by
cazgo operators will increase if the airport does not move.
Mr. Finney responded that MAC looked at air cargo activities and
anticipates rapid growth in the small package carriers, which
appear to be accommodating those increases by using lazger
aircraft. He stated that there is currently an agreement that cargo
carriers operate before 11:00 p.m. and if they have any flights after
that time they must use Sta.ge 3 aircraft. He stated that UPS and
FedEx have all Stage 3 aircraft in their fleets at this time and by
1999 a11 cazgo carriers must use Stage 3 aircraft or they will be out
of business. He further stated that MAC is continuing to develop
the reliever airport to help handle the private plane operations.
Mr. Finney informed Council that it has until February 13 to
submit written comments on the EIS.

Mayor Mertensotto expressed Council's appreciation to Mr. Finney
for his presentation. �
SENIOR HOUSING Ms. Kari Gill, Deputy Executive Director of the Dakota. County
•�-HRA, was present to request Council approval of a cooperation
agreement relative to the proposed senior housing project. She
explained that 40 of the 65 units proposed will be available for low
to moderate income seniors, and the remaining 25 units will be
available on a mazket rate basis for seniors with higher income
levels. She stated that the county boazd recently approved a bond
sale for the project and hopes to complete site acquisition this
winter. She informed Council that she plans to appear before the
Planning Commission in January to request rezoning and other
planning approvals, and if all approvals are granted, construction
on the project could begin in June. �
I
Mayor Mertensotto asked if the HRA will be petitioning for public
improvements. ;
Public Works Director Danielson responded that any
improvements to the property will likely just benefit the property,
including extending South Plaza Drive, and extension of the sewer
and water system just to the HRA project, arid these are anticipated
to be done as part of the HRA project itself. i
Mayor Mertensotto stated that the city �ormally prepares
engineering studies and contracts for unprovements. He asked if
this project would differ from the norm. i
Mr. Danielson responded that the last discussion with the HRA on
improvements was that, because all of the costs will be bome by
the HRA project and there will be no assessments, the HRA would
do the engineering and contract for construction.
Ms. Gill stated that the HRA would be agreeable to whatever the
city wishes, either engineering, contracting and construction by the
HR.A or the city.
Mayor Mertensotto stated that he would prefer to follow normal
procedures. He asked if the cooperation agreement is a standard
agreement.
Ms. Gill responded that the agreement is sta.ndard, and there are
seven buildings which have been constructed under the agreement.
She stated that the bond sale for the project will occur on
Page No. 11
December 19, 1995
December 20. Ms. Gill reviewed an architectural rendition of the
project and stated that the exterior of the three-story structure will
be brick and siding. �
Mayor Mertensotto informed Ms. Gill that Council does not want
to set a precedent on the building height.
Councilmember Krebsbach stated that she thought there would be
more leeway in the design, such as a two story structure.
After discussion, Councilmember Huber moved to approve the
proposed cooperation agreement and authorize its execution by the
Mayor and Interim City Administrator.
Councilmember Koch seconded the motion.

CASE NO. 95-26, Council acknowledged a memo from Public Works Director
CONWAY Danielson regarding continued discussion on the landscape plans
for the Conway three season porch at 2288 Apache Street. Council
also acknowledged a memo from the City Planner. Mr. & Mrs.
Conway were present for the discussion.
Mayor Mertensotto stated that he is not happy to see that the
neighbor has requested a seven and one-half foot fence along the
full property line.
Mr. Conway responded that he and his wife do not want the fence
either.
Mayor Mertensotto stated that what is appropriate is screening for
about 24 feet, along the east properly line, so that the porch would
be screened from the view of the neighbor. He stated that the City
Planner recommends that the Conways plant six three-foot shrubs
along the properiy line
Mr. Conway stated that he agrees with the recommendation, and
while he has not received written quotes from landscapers yet, he
has contacted landscapers and he will accept the recommendation.
He stated that the Planner recommended either amur maple or red
twig dogwood. He further stated that he would prefer to plant
dogwood, which would grow to a ma�cimum of eight feet tall,
which is what Mr. Greenberg has been talking about for screening
height.
Page No. 12
December 19, 1995
After discussion, Councilmember Huber moved to require the
planting of six plants, three feet in height, and all of the same type,
either amur maple or red twig•�dogwood, whichever the applicants
select, to be evenly spaced across twenty-four feet along the
easterly property line to screen the three-season porch from the =-
view of the Greenberg property.
Councilmember Koch seconded the motion.

BALL FIELD USE Council acknowledged a memo from Interim Administrator
Batchelder regarding Mendakota. Park field scheduling for softball
and baseball use. Council also acknowledged a letter and baseball
needs from the Mendota Heights Athletic Association (MHAA)
and information on softball league scheduling needs and team
composition.
Interim Administrator Batchelder stated that he was contacted by
MHAA and softball team representatives saying that they would
not be present and that they have reached agreement for 1996
scheduling.
Mayor Mertensotto stated that he does not think Council should
take any action this evening other than to set a joint meeting
between Council, the Park and Recreation Commission, and
representatives of the MHAA and softball teams. He stated that a
joint meeting has been recommended for January 9, in conjunction
with the Pazk and Recreation Commission meeting. He felt that it
would be best if the Cominission would conduct its scheduled
business first, starting at 6:30 p.m., and that the workshop be
conducted at 7:30.
Councilmember Huber moved to conduct a joint workshop with
the Park and Recreation Commission, Mendota Heights Athletic
Association and softball representatives and any other interested
individuals at 7:30 p.m. on January 9 in the Council Chambers.
Councilmember Krebsbach seconded the motion.

IVY FALLS CREEK Council acknowledged a memo from Public Works Director
OUTLOT Danielson regarding a request from Mr. Jack Brassard. President of
the Ivy Falls Home Owners' Association, that the city accept title
to the "common property" owned by the Association along the Ivy
Falls Creek. Council also acknowledged receipt of a letter from
Page No. 13
December 19, 1995
the Association and a proposed deed to Outlots B and C of the Ivy
Falls 2nd Addition. Mr. Brassard was present for the discussion.
:`
Mayor Mertensotto expressed concern that the deed states that the
grantee acknowledges that the properiy abuts residences and use of
the property for trails, recreational purposes, etc., would be
disruptive.
Mr. Brassazd sta.ted that the Association would agree to removing
the clause to which the Mayor referred.
Mayor Mertensotto asked why it is proposed that the deed be by
Quit Claim rather than a Warranty Deed.
City Attorney Hart agreed that the deed should be a Warranty
Deed.
Mayor Mertensotto stated that he does not see where anything will
change except that the Association is now carrying insurance and
paying taxes on the properiy.
Mr. Brassazd responded that before the storm sewer improvements
and creek improvements were constructed the Association carried
about $500,000 of insurance because the Association was protected
by state law which esta.blished an insurance cap if there was no
improvement to a natural waterfall in any way. He stated that
since the improvements have been constructed, there is no longer
any protection under state law and the Association will need to
acquire a much larger insurance policy. �
Mayor Mertensotto stated that the home owners aze calling the
Police Department now when there is a problem, and the city will
do no more in terms of policing than it currently does. He stated
that the creek is part of a city drainage system, and if the city held
ownership of the outlots it could install no-trespassing signs and
have more control that if the property were privately owned. He
felt that city ownership of the property is appropriate, but pointed
out that it is anticipated that the residents will not build anything or
put any structures on the property. He asked if all of the conflicts
within the Association have been resolved.
Mr. Brassard responded that he has received a letter from Mr. Ellis
Abramson that he did not like the creek improvement or turning
the land over to the city. He stated that the Association took a vote
among its 102 members, and the bylaws require that 2/3 of the
Page No. 14
December 19, 1995
membership vote in favor of disposing of the land. He informed
Council that more than 2/3 of the membership have voted in favor
of the proposal, and although •five members have ind.icated that
they oppose it, there are possibly 14 who aze opposed. He
explained that any of the members have relief under the bylaws to
challenge the property transfer.
Mayor Mertensotto stated that Council will not take action on the
matter this evening. He pointed out that the city will not give any
different service to the Association than it currently receives and
nothing will change if the transfer occurs. He asked Mr. Brassard
to have the deed revised to eliminate the clause about use of the
properly and to change it from a Quit Claim deed to a Warranty
Deed.
Attorney Hart stated that there should also be a reversionary clause
in the deed should there be a controversy in the future about
whether the city violates the conditions of the deed.
COTTAGE Council acknowledged a memo from Public Works Director
DEVELOPMENT Danielson regazding a request from Mr. John Arkel, Cottage
Development Company, for a pre-application conference to discuss
the possibility of conshucting cotta.ge townhomes on tax forfeited
lots 1 through 4 of the Yorkton Centre Pointe South plat. Council
also acknowledged receipt of information from Cottage
Development. Mr. Arkell and Mr. Volkstram, the project
architect, were present for the discussion.
Mr. Arkell stated that he would like to develop a site in Centre
Pointe South adjacent to Resurrection Cemetery. He explained
that the site is 240 feet deep, which is difficult for commercial
development but ideal for townhouses. He stated that he proposes
72 units on the lots, 6 units per acre.
Mr. Volkstrom stated that it is proposed to construct a number of
berms around the buildings to make them look more residential,
with pines planted on top of the berms. He stated that each
driveway entrance would have boulder walls. Mr. Volkstrom
reviewed the site plan, stating that the interior square footage will
be 1,260 per unit, and that they will be long and narrow to fit better
on the site. They will have brick exteriors and cedar roofs, and the
market price will be about $100,000 per unit.
Mr. Arkell sta.ted that the units will be marketed and designed for
empty nesters without children. He stated that the homes in the
Page No. 15
December 19, 1995
surrounding neighborhood appear to be in the $150,000 to
$160,000 range, and townhomes generally aze built in the range of
about 2/3 of the value of the surrounding homes. He explained that
he is present this evening because he went to the county auction on
the property. He stated that the county has placed a$510,000
value on the property and he cannot get a contingency from the
county. He further stated that he cannot make a planning
application for rezoning without owning the property or having it
under purchase agreement, and it would be too big of a risk for hi.m
to make the $100,000 down payment required by the county unless
he has an indication that the city would favorably consider the
application. He stated that he would like to get a feeling from the
Council.
Mayor Mertensotto stated that Council has hoped that all of the
land south of T.H. 110 and west of Lexington will develop in
commercial use, and the question of mixed residentiaUcommercial
use has already been raised. He further stated that it is his
impression that Council would be concerned about the density of
people living in the proposed development because of the traffic
situation. He informed Mr. Arkell that now that the bridge work
and highway are completed, the Lexington/110 azea has become a
gateway to the community and he is concerned that it does not look
like a high density azea.
Councilmember Krebsbach felt that the matter should be
considered by the Planning Commission before Council can give it
consideration.
Councilmember Smith stated that Council started a planning
process to look at the Highway 55 corridor some time ago and
extended the corridor to include the T.H. 110/Lexington area. She
stated that the process is only half way completed and she is not
willing to make a change at this time.
Mayor Mertensotto stated that he feels the HR-PUD designation
would be very heavy density in the proposed location, wluch is a
front door to the community. He further stated that if Council were
to say that the six unit proposal appears to be fine, it would be
committing to the density of an HR-PUD, and he would not want
that kind of density for the proposed lots when the rest of the
subdivision is commercial.

December 19, 1995
Councilmember Krebsbach stated that the other question is what
the impact would be on development of the remainder of the plat
as a business azea. ��
TRANSIT OPTIONS Council acknowledged a memo from Interim Administrator
Batchelder regarding the city's response to the Metropolitan
Council Transit Operations (MCTO) regarding the elimination of
Route 29 and proposed transit altematives and transit service
changes. Council also acl�owledged a letter from the Minnesota.
Valley Transit Authority (MVTA).
Interim Administrator Batchelder informed the audience that a
subcommittee of the Council, Councilmembers Huber and Smith,
had met with MCTO representatives to reviewed the details of the
MCTO proposal. He stated that the subcommittee members were
concerned that the route changes proposed by MCTO would be
appropriate and would provide an equivalent level of service
currently provided by Route 29. He informed Council that he has
spoken to Mr. Michael Abegg, MVTA Planner, toda.y regarding
the MVTA letter. He stressed that the city needs to be vigilant in
seeing that the MCTO follows through with negotiations on the re-
routing of MVTA Route 48. He explained that there are some
funding issues that the two agencies need to work out, and the city
must make sure that the agencies follow through on their
negotiations.
Mayor Mertensotto stated that when the MCTO express route to
Minneapolis (95IV� is�re-routed, the city must make sure that the
express route does not change to make stops at every corner on
Hiawatha Avenue.
Councilmember Smith responded that while MCTO is very willing
to work with the city and re-route existing routes, her concern is
that MCTO might be tempted in the future to change the express
route to provide stops on Hiawatha in order to cut back on costs.
She noted that there are currently other transit routes along
Hiawatha.
Councilmember Huber stated that he is also concerned, but that he
does not know how the city could stop the MCTO from stopping
on Hiawatha in the future.
Mayor Mertensotto sta.ted that the main concern is that if the city
loses Route 29 in April and there is only one replacement route,
that transit will not be eliminated along Dodd Road. He stated that
Page No. 17
December 19, 1995
the city would then be getting nothing for its annual financial
contribution to MCTO.
Councilmember Smith stated that the extension of Route 7 from
West St. Paul would take riders to St. Paul but would not go north
on Dodd beyond Wentworth.
Mayor Mertensotto asked what mechanism Council has to be sure
it is kept informed.
Interim Administrator Batchelder responded that if Council agrees
to the proposals, MCTO staff will begin working on the options,
and they have begun negotiations with the MVTA for re-routing of
Route 48. He sta.ted that the extension of Route 7 will replace the
number of stops that Route 29 currently provides in Mendota.
Heights and that Route 48 would provide Dodd Road and the north
part of the city with service to downtown St. Paul. He further
stated that a park-and-ride at Dodd and T.H. 110 for express Route
95M would provide the additional service to Minneapolis which is
not currently available to Mendota. Heights residents.
Councilmember Huber informed Council that he has spoken to the
MCTO transportation director and she advised that disabled
individuals living within a certain distance of an existing MCTO
route must be provided with MCTO services to wherever the
individuals wish to go. However, if the route is terminated, MCTO
no longer needs to provide the service. He stated that given the
short time frame the city is working under, the plan envisions that
negotiations must continue with MVTA in order for it to work. He
further stated that it would be nice if there were a firm commitment
from MVTA, but he does not think the city can do much else other
than to monitor the negotiations at this time. He explained that
MVTA was very concerned that its drive time might be
lengthened, and because of the additional time they might lose
existing riders.
Councilmember Smith stated that given the uncertainty over
MVTA Route 48A, she feels any response from the city to the
MCTO should be a contingent response.
Mayor Mertensotto agreed, sta.ting that since there is nothing firm
now, the city's response should be that the transit alternatives
appear to be a workable solution for the immediate future and that
Council will continue to work with MCTO to be sure there will be
continued bus service at least to downtown St. Paul.
Page No. 18
December 19, 1995
Councilmember Huber stated that MVTA is also interested in a
park and ride at the Mendota Plaza.
Mayor Mertensotto responded that the Plaza. has signed and is
watching trucks now, and there have been some buses pazked in
the back of the shopping center. He stated that the city has not
taken on the maintenance of the shopping center lot and he would
not want the Plaza. owners to come back in the future and say that
since Council asked them to allow bus parking the city has to assist
in repair costs.
Councilmember Smith stated that it was her assumption that bus
parking would continue, and there is a drive through that is
reinforced. She felt that the Plaza would be doing a disservice to
the city if it does not allow buses to drive through.
Councilmember Krebsbach sta.ted that she would like to receive a
copy of the Council minutes when the parking lot was discussed.
She stated that as she remembers the discussion, it was centered on
trucks, and she did not believe there was discussion about buses.
Mayor Mertensotto agreed, stating that the problem was stated that
trucks and buses ruined the parking lot and the owner wants to
avoid that situation from happening again.
Councilmember Krebsbach stated that one question she has is the
park and ride on Dodd and T.H. 110. She asked the subcommittee
for its recommendation.
Councilmember Huber stated that the MCTO wants to know if the
city has an interest in a second stop along T.H. 110 in addition to
the Dodd Road intersection. He stated that MCTO talked about a
park and ride at City Hall, but he did not think it would be a good
idea to have a stop at Lexington and 110 if there is a pazk and ride
at T.H. 110 and Dodd. He informed Council that there is a
possibility that the bus could pick people up from the park and ride
on the way to Minneapolis without having to come off the highway
and onto Dodd, but on the return trip it would have to pu11 off of
T.H. 110 onto Dodd to enter the pazk and ride. He stated that
MCTO is talking about 50 cars pazking in the lot, and he and
Councilmember Smith have told them the lot would have to be
blacktopped for that number of cars.
Page No. 19
December 19, 1995
Mayor Mertensotto suggested that Mn/DOT right-of-way along
Dodd at Wagon Wheel might be an appropriate park and ride
location. •
Councilmember Smith responded that she feels the facility should
be closer to the commercial area so that people can get off the bus
and have some shelter and perhaps a phone. Councilmember
Krebsbach felt that a park and ride at Wagon Wheel would infringe
upon the residential area.
Mayor Mertensotto stated that he feels the park and ride is a
separa.te issue which Council can revisit.
Cou.ncilmember Smith responded that while it is perhaps a separate
issue, it is very important that there be a pazk and ride.
Councilmember Huber stated that the recommenda.tion should
include a statement that if negotiations with MVTA aze
unsuccessful, the city will come back to MCTO to request another
plan.
It was the consensus to direct sta.ff to submit a conditional response
to MCTO informing them that Council has discussed the
recommendations and believes they are workable for the future
and wants to continue dealing with MCTO regazding providing
alternate services after Route 29 is eliminated.
Councilmembers Huber and Smith were asked to continue acting
as Council's subcommittee.
Interim Administrator Batchelder informed Council has had
discussions with Paster Enterprises regarding allowing a park and
ride to continue at the shopping center. He further stated that sta.ff
will continue to attempt to meet with Paster Enterprises regazding a
turn azound in the azea where the bonfire used to be held, where
there is no pavement.
HOUSING GOALS Council acknowledged a memo from Interim Administrator
Batchelder regarding the Metropolitan Livable Communities Act
proposed goals agreement.
Interim Administrator Batchelder stated that Council voted to
participate in the Livable Communities Act in November, and the
�second step in the process was to negotiate a goals agreement with
the Metropolitan Council. He stated that Council had discussed
Page No. 20
December 19, 1995
working in a cluster with the Dakota County HRA on an action
plan, and the HRA petitioned the Metropolitan Council to cluster
all Dakota. County cities for the purposes of a goals statement. The
Metropolitan Council wants each individual city to commit to a
goals statement, and the city would have until June 30 to adopt an
action plan. He further stated that the Metropolitan Council has
looked favorably on the Dakota County plan but at this point what
is before Council is a first draft of the housing goals agreement.
Interim Administrator Batchelder then reviewed the draft
agreement and an addendum.
Mayor Mertensotto suggested that "the City will use its best
efforts" replace "the City agrees," and to change "given market
conditions" to "subject to market conditions."
Councilmember Smith expressed concern with the way the goals
are written. She stated that Council discussed that it is possibly
impossible for the city to meet the benchmarks given the nature of
the community. She felt that the goals open the city to failure and
that Council must be made more realistic. She felt that Council is
opening itself to criticism as there is no way the goal can ever be
reached.
Mayor Mertensotto stated that he thinks the $125,000 benchmark
can be easily reached but did not think a 25% rental can ever be
reached. -
Councilmember Smith stated that she would like an actual goal
rather than an arbitrary benchmazk based on other communities.
She stated that the city should research to see what goal can be
met.
Mayor Mertensotto stated that the city is willing to work with the
Metropolitan Council, but pointed out that Mendota Heights does
not receive any aids, such as LGA, which the other cities receive.
Councilmember Smith felt that Council should approach the matter
realistically and that the first dra.ft should just be to form a plan to
discuss what Council hopes to achieve in the first year.
Interim Administrator Batchelder stated that the city needs to work
with Dakota. County over the next six month but the Metropolitan
Council considers the Dakota County action plan as the prototype
for communities. He further stated that the city has been advised
to put the qualifications into an addendum to advise the
Page No. 21
December 19, 1995
Metropolitan Council that the city cannot meet all of the goals
simply because there is not enough land left in Mendota Heights.
Councilmember Smith stated that once actual goals have been
established, she thinks the city needs to explain them.
It was the consensus that Council is not ready to adopt the
addendum yet and needs more information. It was the further
consensus that the document be changed from "Goals Agreement"
to "Goals Statement."
GIS Cou.ncil acknowledged a memo from Public Works Director
Danielson regazding an offer of a$5,000 grant from NSP to use
towards implementing GIS. Council also acknowledged receipt of
a letter from NSP.
Councilmember Krebsbach stated that she does not see any
safeguards on who has access to the soflwaze and was concerned
about the overlay of information that cities can get on residents.
She asked who will have access and where is there protection for
the home owners.
Councilmember Smith responded that there are already
commercial vendors using GIS and the people can get information
from the county as well, as it is public information.
Mayor Mertensotto sta.ted that GIS is an excellent planning tool but
he is concerned that if the city accepts the $5,000 and gets a
matching grant from the Metropolitan Council it still might take a
great deal more money to get the system. He suggested that the
grant be accepted and that staff work towards a purchase but first
obtain more information on costs.
Councilmember Huber moved to accept the offer from NSP for a
$5,000 grant towazds implementing GIS and to authorize staff to
apply to the Metropolitan Council for a matching grant.
Councilmember Smith seconded the motion.

MSA STREETS Public Works Director Danielson reviewed a memo from Civil
Engineer Sanders recommending that MSA designation for
Victoria Road from Marie Avenue to T.H. 13 be revoked and that
several other streets be given MSA designation.
Page No. 22
December 19, 1995
Councilmember Smith asked if any of the streets will require
substantial changes if they become MSA streets.
Mr. Danielson responded that none need to be widened, but some
have curves that do not meet the MSA standards if the city is
planning to spend MSA funding on them.
There was discussion about possibly adding Lake Drive rather
than ivy Falls Avenue. Staff was directed to move the designation
around so that the full MSA mileage allotment is used.
SOS - MN/DOT Council acknowledged a memo and proposed resolution from
AGREEMENT Public Works Director Danielson regazding a proposed Mn/DOT
cooperative agreement grant to complete the frontage road
improvements needed for the SOS site development.
Councilmember Krebsbach sta.ted that as a member of a Council
subcommittee on development of the site, she wants to be kept
informed of all meetings relating to the site.
Interim Administrator Batchelder stated that he has spoken to
representatives of the Dakota Bank and they have indicated they
will continue working with the subcommittee.
Councilmember Koch moved adoption of Resolution No. 95-75,
"RESOLUTION AUTHORIZING P-ARTICIPATION WITH

IVY FALLS CREEK Council acknowledged a memo from Public Works Director Danielson
OUTLOTS regarding transfer of ownership of Outlots A, B, & C, Ivy Falls 2nd
Addition from the Ivy Falls Homeowners' Association to the city.
Councilmember Smith state that she would like to establish why this is a
unique situation, to accept a deed for primarily drainage purposes. She felt
that Council should be very specific as to why it would accept the deed in
this case. She stated that she understands that the city has a very large
easement over the Burrow farm and it is not cleaz the city would accept a
deed for that, and there aze many other azeas in the city where the city has
easements. She further stated that she would not like to set a precedent for
accepting land that has a primary purpos� for drainage reasons, but this
Page No. 3
January 2, 1996
case is different because it is a dominant use and because it is owned by a
consortium of home owners. She stated that individual home owners have
very little control over the use of''the land in its present setting. She
pointed out that the way the land is currently owned and the way it has
progressed to a larger use for drainage over the years makes it different.
She stated that in this particulaz case, she does not have a particulaz
objection to accepting the deed, but wants to make sure this is a unique
situation and Council would not open itself to a barrage of requests from
the owners of property over which drainage easements exist.
Mayor Mertensotto stated that one of the concerns Council has had was
that townhome residents might think that if the city owned the property it
would be patrolled and controlled on call by the Police Deparhnent, and
that the property could be somewhat of an attractive.nuisance. He further
stated that the problem the homeowners' association has is that they assess
the members annually about $10 for insurance and taxes, but the big
problem now is the liability insurance which will increase considerably
because of creek improvements. He explained that the Boazd wants to get
out from underneath the liability insurance. He pointed out that the city
would not take any more land than it needs and the association is saying it
is going to grant title to the city as part of the drainage system.
Councilmember Smith asked whether the city necessarily wants to accept
all of the outlots.
Public Works Director Danielson responded that all of them slope down to
the creek and the slopes aze very steep.
Councilmember Smith wanted to be sure that the city is not giving up
rights under the proposal, including rights within the city easements which
must be included in the deed and also she wanted to be sure that the city
reserves those easements under the quit claim deed.
City Attorney Hart stated that the deed can be subject to reservation of the
easements. He further stated that the language on use is extremely broad.
Mayor Mertensotto stated that the city does not want to put in trailways or
walkways.
Councilmember Krebsbach asked to what extent the Council should
consider precedent.
Mayor Mertensotto responded that lawsuits were just settled and defended
in order to get the drainage project completed, and stated that he does not
see a problem with accepting the property.
Page No. 4
January 2, 1996
Councilmember Smith stated that the idea is that the city is agreeing in
good faith to the deed based on current conditions and information
available now, but if something c�me up that required Council to do
something that is prohibited but deemed prudent, Council would work
with the association to reach agreement. She stated that if the city does
something without the consent of the association, the association would
have a choice to make. She further stated that the point is that she cannot
think of a situation that would be outside of what the city is agreeing to
but if, because the city would like to do something or deemed something
prudent, like putting up a fence, then the association would have the
choice of taking the property back or agreeing to what the city proposes to
do.
Council directed Public Works Director Danielson to review the deed and
existing easements to be sure the city is not giving up any easements.
Council further directed Attorney Hart to contact the association's legal
counsel to rework the deed.
PEACE HOUSE Council acknowledged a memo from Interim Administrator
Batchelder regarding a request from Peace House that the city set aside
$10,000 in 1996 CDBG funding to support the Peace House. Council also
acknowledged a letter and information regarding the Peace House from its
founders, Mr. & Mrs. Francis Shaw. Mr. & Mrs. Shaw were present for
the discussion.
Mr. Shaw stated that he is asking Council's support for the Peach House,
which is a facility proposed to be conshucted in Dakota County for men
and women suffering from AIDS. He reviewed the materials he had
submitted and stated that the City of Burnsville has agreed to give
$30,000 from its CDBG funds to support the founding of Peace House.
He quoted from a letter from Lee Smith of the HRA, regarding
expenditures of CDBG funds for low and moderate income housing. He
explained that this is a one time request and that he will not come back to
ask for more money, but that he is asking the Dakota County communities
to respond with love.
Mayor Mertensotto stated that he can see why the Shaws are asking for
CDBG funds rather that trying to solicit funding by asking for a levy. He
stated that Lee Smith possibly was not aware that some cities have already
committed their funds like Mendota Heights has. He informed the Shaws
that the city has committed CDBG funds for five years to acquire
sufficient funding for land for a senior housing project of 40 units, and
over and above that, for an additiona125 units as a pilot program for
mazket rate rental units.
Page No. 5
January 2, 1996
Mr. Shaw responded that most of the cities have similaz projects, and part
of the Peace House program is to try to get a little funding from each
community on a one time basis. �He explained that it is very difficult for a
grass roots foundation to get funding.
Mayor Mertensotto asked about private indushy, and noted that there will
be a Peace House staff and about a$500,000 operating budget.
Mr. Shaw responded that the budget includes land and building, and it is
very important for grass roots organizations to get community support. He
stated that to get funding from major foundations locally and nationally, it
is important to get community support. He informed Council that
Mendota Heights is the second community he has appeared before -
Burnsville was the first. Responding to a question from Mayor
Mertensotto, he stated that Peace House is being started by private
individuals not connected with an organization that is branching out.
Mayor Mertensotto stated that Council is fully aware of what is going on
in the world and until research is done to find a cure for the AIDS virus, it
will continue. He stated that the Peace House is a very worthy cause but
the city has already committed its CDBG allocation and does not have
money available.
Councilmember Smith stated that Council is in a difficult time with the
existing project because this is the final year of the project. She stated that
it appears that the land acquisition costs could e very close to what has .
been committed and this in the final year of commihnent to the project,
but it is also the year that the project will come to fruition. She informed
Mr. Shaw that until the city's costs for the project are known, it would be
very hazd to divert any CDBG funds.
Responding to a question from Mayor Mertensotto about what support has
been given by Dakota. County Social Services, Mr. Shaw stated that he has
submitted a letter of support from them and they aze supporting Peach
House through word of mouth. He stated that there will be a formal
contract with Social Services after Peace House is up and running, and that
he has looked at all areas of possible funding from Dakota County but the
only one available is CDBG.
Mayor Mertensotto asked if the county is willing to commit tax payer
funds rather than CDBG funds.
Mr. Shaw responded that it is not, but CDBG guidelines specify that
funding can be used for people with AIDS.
Page No. 6
January 2, 1996
Councilmember Koch asked if there is a possibility that the city can
consider the request again after it is known how much of the city's CDBG
allocation is left after the senior housing commitment.
Mayor Mertensotto responded that Council could take the request under
advisement and Mr. Shaw can come back after he has appeazed before the
other communities. He stated that he would also like to see Peace House
get some private funding and get its classification from the IRS.
Councilmember Koch asked what the financing will be next year after
Peace House has start up money. Mr. Shaw responded that Peace House
will get reimbursement from the county through Medicare, etc., similar to
nursing home costs.
Councilmember Smith asked what some of the other sources of funding
aze. Mr. Shaw responded that funding will be from private organizations
and fund raising events.
Mrs. Barbara Shaw stated that the AIDS statistics given to Council do not
reflect that there are three Mendota Heights residents currently living with
HIV and AIDS. She stated that she really appreciates that Councilmember
Koch invited them to return to Council. She informed Council that one of
the Peace House missions is education, and that Peace House just received
a donation from St. Thomas Becket congregation in Eagan. Responding to
a question from Councilmember Huber regazding existing facilities, she
stated that facilities which offer the same services are Hope House in
Stillwater, Florida House in Minneapolis, Samaritan House in
Minneapolis, and one that the Franciscans will open this spring in St. Paul.
Mayor Mertensotto stated that Council will look at where CDBG funding
stands after the senior project is completed. He stated that the planning
applications will be considered by the Planning Commission in January.
Interim Administrator Batchelder stated that the HRA is currently in the
process of wrapping up acquisition, and public improvements are also
eligible for CDBG, and Council will have a better idea of what city costs
will be some time in the spring. He informed the Shaws that Council will
take a look at the CDBG needs and perhaps some money will be available
for Peace House.
Interim Administrator Batchelder informed Council that the HRA has
indicated that the city can amend its application later this yeaz for 1996.

Mayor Mertensotto expressed Council's appreciation to the Shaws for
coming and sharing information on the project and extended Council's best
wishes for success.
Councilmember Smith asked the tuning for Peace House. --
Mr. Shaw responded that he would like to be ready to start operating by
November of 1996, and that he is working with the Alina Health system
foundation and it is possible that good funding will be received from the
foundation. He stated that funding is needed by late August or September
to build a new structure. He stated that building new is less costly than
renovating an existing structure, and informed Council that Peace House is

DAKOTA COUNTY Council acknowledged a memo from Interim Administrator Batchelder
LEAGLTE POLICIES the Dakota County League of Government's proposed legislative policies.
Mayor Mertensotto stated that he is somewhat concerned that the city is a
member of the AMM and LMC and both have legislative policies. He
stated that if he were a legislator he would be concerned about where all of
the organizations aze coming from. He wondered what coordination there
is between the organizations.
Interim Administrator Batchelder responded that the Dakota County
League is an ad hoc group of elected officials in Dakota County who have
Page No. 8
January 2, 1996
taken over the annual Dakota County Administrators' breakfast meetings.
He stated that the group meets once a year to present Dakota County
specific policies to the legislators'
Mayor Mertensotto asked if there is an attempt to get some sanctioning �"
and represent the consensus of all the governments in the county. He
stated that the city makes annual contributions to the LMC and they have
legislative staff and lobbyists to convey the thoughts of the cities to the
legislature. He pointed out that the League also gives the cities weekly
updates on legislative actions.
Councilmember Koch stated that she understands that the Dakota County
League is a forum for city and county officials and anyone of the Council
could be on the committees. She further stated that she receives
communications each year asking if she wishes to sign up for a committee
and that she has attended the breakfasts in the past.
Councilmember Smith felt that the legislative proposals seem more
focused and would concentrate on Dakota County legislative
representatives.
Mayor Mertensotto stated that it is a volunteer organization that started out
with administrators and managers meeting together. He pointed out that it
is not a sanctioned organization.
Councilmember Krebsbach stated that she has no issue with the group but
as groups such as this emerge it is important to know who all step forward
as representing Dakota County. She stated that Council should look at
where it wants to focus its attention, and if the Dakota County League is
speaking for Dakota County communities they aze speaking for Mendota
Heights whether Council wants them to or not. She asked that an analysis
be made of the various groups to see how they align with Mendota Heights
positions. '
Councilmember Smith responded that part of the analysis should be
whether Mendota. Heights is actually represented or if it should be aligned
with a different group.
Councilmember Krebsbach expressed concern that the city is losing its
voice and the larger cities in Dakota County are speaking for Mendota.
Heights.
Mayor Mertensotto stated that the transportation policy recommends
developing funding options for I-35E over the river by increasing the
metro area sales tax and a five cent indexed gas tax increase, or an increase
Page No. 9
January 2, 1996
in the metro area tax plus extension of the sales tax to gasoline, and both
of the proposals are legislative funding matters which are funding issues
all of a sudden coming in as a transportation policy.
Councilmember Krebsbach pointed out that Council opposed the proposal
for sales tax on gasoline in last yeaz's AMM policies.
Interim Administrator Batchelder stated that the League of Cities and
AMM are organizations the city belongs to and pays fees to and they have
a formal process of committees developing draft policies followed by a
business meeting in the fall to discuss and vote on the following year's
policies. The Dakota. County group is not as formal, and it its letter to
Senator Neuville, they describe themselves and who they consist of and
their reasons for forming. He stated that the matter is on this evening's
agenda because the group has come up with draft policies and this is
Council's opporlunity to comment. He stated that the Dakota County
League does not have a formal policy adoption meeting, and that their
letter and proposed policies were received late in December with notice
that there would be a meeting in late January. They asked for comments
by December 29, but Council does not have to take a stance on the
policies.
Mayor Mertensotto asked if the city is paying a fee and if it is a member.
Interim Administrator Batchelder responded that the ciiy is not a member
and he did not believe there is a membership fee. He sta.ted that
invitations to the January 5 Dakota County League meeting were
distributed with a recent Frida.y News. He informed Council that when the �
group was started in 1993, they asked if they city wanted to participate
and his recollection was that Council declined.
Mayor Mertensotto and Councilmember Krebsbach felt that the
organization should show its membership on its letterhead.
Councilmember Krebsbach asked by what authority the organization
speaks as the Dakota County governments, particularly if there is no
membership listed on the letterhead.
Mayor Mertensotto asked by whose authority the group calls itself the
Dakota. County League of Governments. He was concerned that someone
will come along in the future and say Mendota Heights did not object to
the proposed policies.
Councilmember Huber stated that whether Council takes a stand on the
issues or not, it should sent a letter to the city's legislative representatives
Page No. 10
January 2, 1996
that Mendota Heights is not a member and will continue to conta.ct them
regarding issues that affect Mendota. Heights. He stated that in this way
Council will know that its positiohs on issues is being made clear to the
city's representatives.
Councilmember Koch stated that it might be a good idea to follow
Councilmember Huber's recommendation. She sta.ted that when she
attended the meeting two yeazs ago, it was more of a situation where
everyone just talked to each other. She felt that it would be appropriate to
send a letter to Commissioner Bataglia (Dakota County League of
Government's President), stating Council's concerns on these types of
organizations and that the Council does not always agree.
Councilmember Krebsbach felt that this is a group gaining strength and
Council should pay attention to it.
It was suggested that the city communicate to the League that Mendota
Heights is not a member and the League does not represent the city's
views.
Councilmember Smith stated that it would be implied that the city is a
member and if Council does not respond to the League, it must take the
time to respond to the city's legislatures and take a stand on the issues.
Councilmember Huber stated that Council could send a letter to the
legislators with respect to the issues Council disagrees with. He stated that
Council does not know if the League is going to pass the policy
recommendations this time, so it may be better to wait until action has
been taken and then notify the representatives.
Councilmember Smith felt that Council should take its own position on
issues, not agreeing or disagreeing with the Dakota County League's
issues. She asked who selected the four policy categories and whether
they are particulaz to Dakota County at this time.
Interim Administrator Batchelder responded that the policies in the
document were policies where the City Administrators' group was asked
to come up with a list of issues they thought would be current for the
coming legislative session and those issues that they thought would not be
divisive. He explained that each individual City Administrator that had
raised a potential coming issue was asked to draft a policy and the notice
was sent to each of the cities in Dakota County, and a meeting was
scheduled for January 5.
�
Page No. 11
January 2, 1996
Councilmember Smith asked if it can be inferred by silence that the airport
is not an issue.
Interim Administrator Batchelder responded that there is an unwritten
agreement that the cities cannot agree on airport issires,-therefore there will
not be a policy.
Councilmember Krebsbach stated that she would like to have an inventory
of groups that are coming forth as representing Dakota County and then
decide which of them Council would like to participate in.
Mayor Mertensotto responded that the city does not know how many
umbrella groups there aze and that there have always been meetings
between elected officials in Dakota County and elected legislators, but
never under a banner such as the Dakota County League of Governments.
Councilmember Huber suggested that Council take a stand and respond to
the group but tell them that what the organization should do is include in
its letterhead which cities are active members.
Mayor Mertensotto pointed out that the policies aze draft policies and
Council does not know the extent to which they will change.
Councilmember Huber felt that as a minimum Council should send a letter
saying that the group's name is misleading and their letterhead should
show who the group represents.
Mayor Mertensotto stated that he would not support either option one or
two to provide added funding as a solution to I-35E problems but would
support the stance against the livable wage act as it would be a real
disadvantage to new businesses.
Councilmember Kreb"sbach stated that she does not know that the city
should be put in a position to take a position on all of the issues and
further that she did not know that every issues must come before a city
council. She stated that because some group has decided on four issues
does not mean the Council should take a stand on them, although
individual Council members can certainly take a stand.
Mayor Mertensotto stated that the only time the City Council should take a
stand is when it directly affects city business, otherwise they become
general political matters. He asked Interim Administrator Batchelder to
find out which legislators will be attending the meeting and send a copy of
the letter (which will be sent to the Dakota County League) to them.
Page No. 12
January 2, 1996
Councilmember Smith stated that she feels the ethics issue directly affects
council members and the livable wage act could affect the city because it
could dictate what wages businesses must pay in the community.
Interim Administrator Batchelder stated that he does not think the
organization is asking Council to take absolute positions this evening, but
rather the information was presented in the agenda as an invitation to the
meeting and to allow Council the opportunity to express its views on the
proposed policies. He stated that the intent of the breakfast meeting is to
provide an open forum for Dakota County elected officials to meet with
there legislators, although action may be taken on the proposed issues.
Councilmember Smith responded that the legislators will be influenced by
what they hear at the meeting. Mayor Mertensotto stated that by default
Mendota Heights is being thrown into it.
Councilmember Huber suggested sending a letter to Commissioner
Bataglia as President to: 1) express appreciation for the opportunity to give
input even though the city is not an active member, but based on the name
selected for the group, the letter should define the membership. He stated
that Council can either make no comment on the issues or comment on
some of them.
Councilmember Koch stated that the breakfast meeting is this Friday
morning. She felt that Interim Administrator Batchelder should ca11
Commissioner Bataglia and express how Council feels, let her know of
Council's concerns and inform her that although Council is not taking any
type of stand it would like to be informed on what happens.
Councilmember Krebsbach stated that the Council members are elected
representatives and if they are going to take a stand on the issues, they
should have some input from constituents.
StafFwas directed to fax a letter to Commissioner Bataglia, followed-up
by a phone call, expressing: 1.) Council's concern over the name
identification of the organization, which implies that all municipalities in
Dakota County aze memhers of the League; 2.) that Mendota Heights is
not a member and Council declines to take a position on the four issues
that will be under consideration on January 5; 3.) that Council would like
to know what positions are taken on the issues on January 5 and which
legislators were present; and, 4.) Council's recommendation that the
official letterhead of the organization list each member city so that
everyone knows which communities are represented.
Page No. 13
January 2, 1996
BLOCK GR.ANT Council acknowledged and discussed a memo from Interim Administrator
Batchelder regarding the city's 1996 Community Development Block
Grant funds. ��
It was the consensus to direct Interim�Administrator Batchelder to contact
the HItA for appropriate language changes.
Councilmember Smith felt that the grant proposal should reflect 65 units
of elderly housing but state that only 40 of the units will be subsidized.
She also stated that she would like to make sure that the project will be
done without compromising traffic patterns and that sufficient area is left
to extend South Plaza Drive or reroute traffic through the azea in the
future.
Public Works Director Danielson responded that staff has instructed the
HRA engineers to design a street that has a curve such that the street could
be extended over T.H. 110 at some future time. He further stated that at
the last discussion on the senior housing facility, city engineering was
directed to do the engineering for the project.
Mayor Mertensotto directed staff to let the HRA know that this is a vital
concern and that the HItA should make sure it has acquired sufficient
properiy and at the right location.
Councilmember Smith asked whether the city should ask for right-of-way.
Public Works Director Danielson responded that the HRA is going to plat
public access and will dedicate the portion that is part of the facility. He
stated that he will contact Mn/DOT about the land north of the facility.
He further sta.ted that when staff does the feasibility report they will
address the matter and work with Mn/DOT on an agreement.
Mayor Mertensotto stated that the right-of-way should be shown on the
drawings.
Councilmember Koch moved adoption of Resolution No. 96-05,
"RESOLUTION APPROVING THE APPLICATION OF THE CITY OF
MENDOTA HEIGHTS FOR FISCAL YEAR 1996 DAKOTA COUNTY
CO1��Ilv1UNITY DEVELOPMENT BLOCK GRANT FUNDING," with
revisions.
Councilmember Smith seconded the motion.
Ayes: 5
Nays: 0
Staif was directed to ask Kari Gill when the HRA will know what the
project costs will be.
COUNCIL
COMPENSATION
Page No. 14
January 2, 1996
Council acknowledged a memo from the City Clerk recommending
increases in compensation for the Mayor and Councilmembers.
Mayor Mertensotto sta.ted that Council has not even considered adjusting
compensation since 1986 and the city has now grown to the size and
amount of work where there are many more outside meetings that Council
should or must attend on behalf of the city. Additionally, he stated that
just the amount of time that must be spent keeping up with the reading
Council must do has grown considerably. He pointed out that while
serving on the Council is a community service, Council should not take
the position year after year that there should be no compensation increase.
He informed the audience that it is recommendation be increased from
$2,400 to $3,600 per year for Councilmembers and from $3,600 to $4,800
for the Mayor. He explained that no increases can be effective until
January 1, 1997.
Councilmember Smith stated that increasing compensation is a di�cult
subject and the fact that the Council has not had an increase for 10 yeazs or
even addressed the subject speaks to the fact that the primary reason for
being on the Council is not to make money. She noted that the
recommendation represents about a 4% increase over the last 10 yeazs, but
by increasing the compensation in one step rather than annually Council
has saved the city approximately $30,000.
Councilmember Krebsbach stated that if residents object to an increase,
there is certainly much time before the increases would be proposed in the
1997 budget. She felt Council is satisfied with its compensation but at
some point some City Council must address the issue.
Councilmember Huber stated that he cannot support so large an increase
and that his concern is that salary increases should not be based the fact
perhaps that some other Council should have taken action.
It was pointed out that the Mayor and Council members do not receive
reimbursement for mileage or expenses.
Councilmember Krebsbach stated that she is certainly willing to table the
matter to the next meeting so that residents have the opportunity to call
City Hall or the Council members and express any objections they may
have.
Further discussion was tabled to January 16.
AIRPORT DEPARTURE Council acknowledged a memo from Interim Administrator Batchelder
Page No. 15
January 2, 1996
PROCEDURES regazding crossing procedures during non-simultaneous deparlure periods
at MSP. Council also acknowledged the minutes of the November 17,
1995 MASAC Operations Com�rittee meeting, the City of Eagan's
proposed tower order language, and a Noise Analysis for Redistribution of
- Non-Simultaneous Flight Tracks on Runway 11L (Eagan-Mendota:
Heights Corridor Revised Procedures) prepared by Howard Needles
Tammen for the MAC.
Mayor Mertensotto reviewed the Commission's recommendation that
Proposal #1 in the Howazd Needles report be implemented.
Mayor Mertensotto suggested that staff the City of Eagan that Council
politely turns down Eagan's recommendation and state that Council is
going to ask MAC to proceed with the proposal that has been evalua.ted.
He stated that the point is that while Eagan says that aircraft over flights
affect 50% of its residents, the fact is that they aze not noise impacted. He
stated that since Eagan is only five to seven miles from the airport there
will certainly be plan�s flying over it.
It was the consensus to direct Interim Administrator Batchelder to send a
letter to Eagan's Assistant Administrator Hohenstein to advise him that the
matter was discussed and that the City Council supports Proposal #1 in the
Howard Needles report. It was further directed that Interim Administrator
Batchelder submit the response to the MASAC Operations Committee at
its January 17 meeting.
ADJOURN There being no further business to come before Council, Councilmember
Krebsbach moved that the meeting be adjourned to closed session for
discussion of pending litigation.

scheduled operations between the hours of 10:30 p.m. and 6:00 a.m. The
Commission acknowledged receipt of a letter from MAC Chair Sandy Grieve
to Mayor Mertensotto informing the Mayor that the MASAC is currently
evaluating the concept of extending the voluntary night agreements into the
shoulder hours.
DISCUSS STATUS OF NON-SIMULTANEOUS
DEPARTURE PROCEDURE IMPLEMENTATION
Interim City Administrator Batchelder explained that last month, the
Commission discussed the implementation of a"Non-Simultaneous
Departure Procedure" for aircraft departing MSP to the southeast. He
explained that the intent of this procedure would be to direct aircraft
towards non-noise sensitive areas during those hours when aircraft traffic is
light enough to allow the FAA to use such a procedure.
Batchelder explained that the City of Eagan has notified Mendota Heights
that they are concerned over the expanded DNL contour shown for Eagan
as a result of implementing the new crossing procedure. Eagan suggested
that Mendota Heights might consider revising the procedure so that aircraft
departing 11 L would not be issued a"runway heading" instruction, but
rather some minimal left turn, such as a departure heading of 110 degrees
or 115 degrees.
2
Batchelder explained that on December 7, 1995 Mayor Mertensotto and the
City of Eagan's Mayor, Tom Egan, met to discuss this issue. Batchelder
explained that no agreement was reached ax this meeting on a heading for
Runway 11 L and that both communities agreed to return to their respective
....,.. .._
Airport Relations Commissions to discuss a recommendation of 115 deg�ees
for non-simultaneous departures from Runway 11 L.
The Commission discussed the 1992 Braslau Study which suggested a
fanned corridor process off of both runways which would spread aircraft
noise 118 degrees to the south and 090 degrees to the north. It was noted
that a compromise was suggested and that the City of Eagan refused as
they rely on the 1972 Tower Order which does not allow aircraft to cross a
southern boundary.
The Commission discussed the corridor and how its refinement is an on-
going issue. Mayor Mertensotto pointed out that in 1990, a Corridor
Definition Study was completed which revealed the potential for pushing the
northern operational boundary over Mendota Heights, south to 095 degrees
which would move aircraft flights tracks away from residential areas north
of Highway 110. He stated that as a result of these tests and public
debates two Corridor Refinement Proposals were suggested:
Whenever possible, under non-simultaneous departure conditions:
- Aircraft departing Runway 11 R will be assigned a heading to
maintain an approximate ground track of 105 degrees.
- Aircraft departing Runway 11 L will be assigned a heading to maintain
a ground track along the extended runway centerline, approximately
118 degrees
Pro osal 2
Whenever possible, under simultaneous departure conditions (when
diverging paths are necessary for aircraft separation):
- Establish a Northern Boundary of 95 degrees from Runway 11 L
departure end.
- Maintain a Southern Boundary along the Runway 29L localizer.
- Assign aircraft headings such that approximate ground tracks, as
close as feasible, remain on or within the above boundaries.
3
Chair Beaty stated that according to Mr. Bruce Wagoner, an EIS needs to be
completed before either of these proposals are implemented. Beaty stated
that the northern boundary of 95 degrees from Runway 11 L wili not work
weli for Mendota Heights should a north parallel runway be constructed. He
stated that Proposal 2 is not the preferred Proposal. He further stated that
headings under 95 degrees are not normally given by the air traffic
controllers.
Chair Beaty stated that the City of Eagan agreed to Proposal 1 three years
ago. Mayor Mertensotto stated that the City of Eagan is now concerned
over the expressed DNL contour shown for Eagan as a resul# of model tes#s
that simulate the new crossing procedure.
Chair Beaty informed the Mayor that the Commission is of the opinion that
the City of Mendota Heights should not compromise and that we should
only consent to a 115 degree departure heading from Runway 11 L, as a
northern boundary, during non-simultaneous events. Mayor Mertensotto
stated that the City should not give in for anything less than 115 degrees.
Chair Beaty concurred and stated that anything less than 115 degrees will
fly over our residential areas. Mayor Mertensotto inquired how the Eagan
City Council responds to this compromise.
Chair Beaty reminded the Commission that the MAC and FAA will not
consider any proposal if there is non concurrence between the two Cities.
He suggested that maybe letters from the community may help.
Commissioner Gross suggested that a letter be sent agreeing to 120
degrees.
Commissioner Olsen stated that the corridor issue is an important issue but
that we do not want this to be the only issue. He stated that the non-
simultaneous take off issue is a small part of the air noise problem and that
we should -keep this in perspective. He stated that this issue sounds like a
political dead-end. Mayor Mertensotto concurred.
Commissioner Olsen moved that Proposal #1 would be an improvement for
Mendota Heights, as the center of the Mendota Heights/Eagan corridor
should be used to the greatest extent possible, that Mendota Heights is not
interested in other alternative proposals, and we would only consent to a
115 degrees departure heading from Runway 11 L, as a northern boundary,
during non-simultaneous events.
Commissioner Gross seconded the motion.
Chair Beaty stated that the three degree difference in runway headings may
4
r
create more noise for the Furlong neighborhood.
AYES: 4
NAYS: 0
DISCUSS CITY COUNCIL'S RESPONSE TO THE
CITY OF RICHFIELD'S REQUEST TO PARTICIPATE
IN LEGISLATIVE EFFORTS ON COMMUNITY PROTECTION
PACKAGE
Interim City Administrator Batchelder explained that the City of Richfield
made a request to all municipalities participating in the MSP Communities
planning process to support legislative efforts that Richfield has initiated
with the draft Community Protection Concept Package. Batchelder
explained that because the City of Richfield requested a response prior to
December 8, 1995 this item was placed on the City Councils December 5th
agenda for action without recommendation from the Airport Relations
Commission.
Batchelder stated that the City Council voted unanimously to decline to
participate in, or support, the Richfield initiated legislation. This was
primarily due to the MSP Communities group's decision to not include air
noise mitigation needs in the final draft Community Protection Concept
Package. Batchelder stated that City Council directed staff to send a letter
to the City of Richfield notifying them of Mendota Heights' decision. He
informed the Commission that also attached to the Richfield letter was the
City of Mendota Heights' Airport Mitigation Needs statement.
The Commission discussed why the City of Richfield is pressing other
municipalities to support legislative efforts which Richfield has initiated. The
Commission discussed how Richfield's community development has driven
their opinions on air noise. �
The Commission concurred with City Council's position to decline to
participate in, or support, the Richfield initiated legislation.
DISCUSS INVER GROVE HEIGHTS
REQUEST FOR AMENDMENT TO CORRIDOR PROCEDURES
Mayor Mertensotto informed the Commission that the City of Inver Grove
Heights has requested that the MAC consider changing the turning, order
procedure for aircraft departing to the southeast. He stated that Inver
5
Grove Heights desires that the turning order procedure be changed so that
aircraft are turned toward their destination at the end of the three mile
corridar. �,
Chair Beaty stated that this concept would 6e a good idea as long as the
planes do not turn any earlier than three miles out. Mayor Mertensotto
indicated that tnver Grove Heights' request will not be implemented. Interim
City Administrator Batchelder informed the Commission that he is waiting
for John Foggia to return a phone call regarding this issue.
Mayor Mertensotto suggested that the Cammission continue working on
implementing new departure profiles. Chair Beaty stated that the NDGARC
has sent letters ta Northwest Airlines about changing the departure profiiles.
He stated that NWA has informed the NDCARC that they wiil not change
the departure procedures.
Chair Beaty stated that the Commission will continue to keep track of Inver
Grove Neights' positian.
DISCUSS MAC DUAL TRACK ENVIRCiNN1ENTA� [NIPACT
STUDY, EXECUTIVE SUMMARY AND �CONOMIC IMPACT
STUDY STATUS REPORT
Interim City Administrator Batchelder stated that a# the December �th Dua1
Track Task Force meeting, the MAC Dual Track Environmental Impact Study
Executive Summary and Economic impact Study Status Report were
distributed to the public. He infiormed the Commission that the #ul! copy of
the Duai Track Environmentat Impact Study will be made availabte to the
public on December 15th. He informed the Commission that the comment
period for the DEtS witl be apen until February 'i 3, 1996.
The Commission was of the consensus to discuss this in further detait at
their January 10th regula� meeting. The Commissian noted that the north
parallel runway option should become a part of our response to the EIS.
Ghair Beaty suggested that staff research past Airport ReEations Commission
minutes regarding dual track discussion and prepare a summary far the
December 19th Council meeting where MAC representatives will be present
to discuss the dual track issue. Chair Beaty suggested that all
Commissianers attend the Council meeting.
�
Y`
Chair Beaty suggested that staff contact Commission members, not present
at tonight's meeting, to invite them to attend the December 19th Council
meeting. Batchelder stated he would include this item in the Friday News
packets. •

wonderful jab that the Parks Crew have been doing with the ice rinks this
winter as well as their general overall maintenance of the City park system

hooking up phones and bringing in sa#ellites. Blum stated this was the
earliest the ice rinks had been open since 1983.
Commissioner Linneli inquired about lights at the Wentwarth Park ice rink to
1
cover the bigger area that had been provided for open skating. Kuilander
stated that these improvements would be a part of the general
improvements that the Commission will be discussing for Wentworth Park.
Commissioner Norton inquired if gym space is available at St. Thomas
Academy and Visitation Convent for the potential expansion of City leagues
for volleyball and basketball. The Commission directed staff to make
inquiries about the availability of these gym areas.
; ' �'
Interim City Administrator Batchelder stated there was no police report for
the month of December. He stated that City staff will be advertising the
Friends of the Parks tree program in the upcnming quarterly newsletter for
the City which is due to be released in early February.
Kullander provided an update on the Cooperative Agreement f�r the Dedd
Road trail and stated the Agreement had been sent to IVInDOT for their
review and approval. He estimated that we should know about State
funding of this project by March. Kullander also stated that MnDOT had
encouraged the City to apply for ISTEA funds and the City had done so.
Kullander stated that when we know about the funding, the Parks and
Recreation Commission would then get involved with specific design
reviews. Chair Spicer inquired about the timing of construction if this
project is funded and Kullander responded that it could occur in 1996 if it is
only being funded with State money through a cooperative agreement with
MnDOT, however if we also get ISTEA funding it may take a lot longer to
put the project together and it might be 1997.
Kullander provided an update on the following items:
1. Park Bridaes
Five wooden bridges removed and replaced with culverts (3) or
prefabricated steel bridge (2).
Turf restoration and patching or installation of eight foot (8') wide
bituminous path will take place in late spring (May).
Project came in under budget. Memo to Council on January 16th for
determination of funding source.

Commissioner Damberg stated that people are again doing a poor job of
picking after their pets along City trails and it is a particular problem in the
winter as the trail is the only place where pets and people walk. She
suggested that City staff again put a"pooper scooper" article in the
February newsletter.

The department responded ta 22 calls daring the month of December 1995. tJf
these calls, eight were canceled and the remaining were of the investigate type. Most
notable of these were two carbon monoxide detectar calls. This is starting ta be a quite
cammon call during the winter months for all fire deparbments. With the public
awareness starting ta graw cancerning carban monoxide, many homeowners are buying
detectors ta protect themselves, Most of the detectars being sold today detect very
small quantities af carbon monoxide. Quantities that are generally small enough not to
hurt the residents, but enough for the detector to sense it. Our fire crews have gas
monitors with which we monitor the atmosphere in the hame and detect if carbon
monoxide levels are toa dangerous for the resident.
Monthl� Drill
The monthly drill cansisted of vzdeo tapes and discussion of fire ground ta.cties.
Discussions were held an pmper setup af appazatus, manpower, and techniques in
ventilation, There are many different situations involvett with each incident and it is
important ta review tactics far each situa�ion.
Squad Drill
Squad drills invalved reviewing Fust Responder skills related to the han.dling af
victims af vehicle type accidents. Resaurces included Ked boards, backbaards, and all
af the tools faund on the Rescue/Command Vehicle 2290.

CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS
MEMO �,
January 9, 1996
l��
TO: Mayor, City Council and Interim City Administrato�
FROM: Lawrence E. Shaughnessy, Jr., Treasurer
SUBJECT: Workman Compensation Insurance - Managed Care Option
. •�
For the past year, the LMCIT has offered a five percent premium reduction
for Cities that entered a uManaged Care" group. Last year when we renewed our
insurance we were exploring the proposals available to see if they would be
applicable to our employees (see attached April 12, 1995 memo).
Since that time, the LMCIT has raised the premium discount to ten percent
(10%), or a savings of about 57,000 to the City.
The group options which were most favorable for our employees were: 1)
Health Partners and 2) Blue Cross. Of the two, the Blue Cross group provides the
greatest convenience to our people, and seem to be the most effective. An
injured worker may still go to his personal physician for initial treatment, and could
be assigned to the Aspen Clinic in West St. Paul for follow up assessment if
necessary.
The cost of joining the group would be S 100, with a per visit charge of
$�.92 wFiich would be a credit against the initial 5100 fee.
� •i�i� � � � •�
I recommend that the City join the Blue Cross group for Managed Care and
contract with them.
' �1 i • i_ �
Approve joining the Blue Cross Managed Care group.

MEMO
Mayor, City Council and City
April 12, 1995
Administr
FROM: Lawrence E. Shaughnessy, Jr., Treasurer
SUBJECT: Workmen's Compensation Insurance
DISCIISSION
Included on tonight's claim list is our annual premium for
Wor}�nen's Compensation Insurance. The total billing is somewhat
less than last year's. For last year, our base billing was
$86,785, compared to next year's $74,899. The decrease is due to
rate adjustments and a decrease in the experience ratio (1.14� to
1.06�). Our experience ratio is based on the three previoua year's
claims. This is the third year of the higher ratio due to one
large claim. The ratio should reduce again next year.
We again have the option to use the experience base final
premium. To date, including the 1994/95 refund we will have
accumulated savings of approximately $85,000 through the refund
option.� I would recommend we again accept the option for the
1995/96 policy year. Based on our claims through Ma.rch, we expect
a refund for the current year of about $30,000.
We also have the option to reduce our billing an additional
five percent or about $3,700 if we sign up with a"Ma.naged Care"
group. When this option first was offered two years ago, there
were no clinics which were available at a convenient distance. The
number of clinics has increased, and we have two options which
would be available: .
1. Through Blue Cross - Aspen Clinic - West St. Paul
2. Through Health Partners - Ramsey Clinic
We are exploring the options and costs of going with one of
the Managed Care groups , and will bring back to the Council the
preferred option.
ACTION REQIIIRLD

renewal.

City Clerk
SUBJECT: Temporary Liquor License
INFORMATION
The Convent of the Visitation will be conducting its annual Merrie Market Auction
activites on Friday, Mazch 1 and Saturda.y, Mazch 2, 1996. As in past yeazs, the Merrie Market
committee has requested Council approval of a temporary liquor license for the activity.
DISCUSSION
The issuance of temporary liquor licenses, for a duration of no more than three days, is
authorized by Sta.te Statute. Visitation has arranged to hire an off-duty Mendota Heights police
officer to be present on both evenings for safety reasons. The school will also provide proof of
its insurance coverage.
� To my knowledge, there have never been any problems associated with the sale of liquor
at the Merrie Market event.
RECOMMENDATION/ACTION REOUIRED
I recommend that Council authorize the issuance of a temporary on-sale liquor license,
without license fee, to Visitation Convent for Mazch 1 and March 2, 1996 in connection with the
Merrie Mazket Auction. If Council concurs, it should authorize the issuance of a temporary
license as recoxnmended.

SUBJECT: Annual Board of Review
INFORMATION
Dakota County Assessor Marvin Pulju has designated 7:00 P.M. on Tuesday, Apri12,
1996 as the time and date for the city`s annual Board of Review meeting. Mr. Pulju has asked
for Council confirmation on the date and time or Council's preference for a different date and
time.
DISCUSSION
For the past several years, Council has met as the Review Board one-half hour before the
commencement of a regulaz meeting. This has worked well for the residents and the Assessor's
staff and avoids the need to schedule a separate meeting date. April 2 is a regular Council
meeting date.
_ I have spoken with Larry Shaughnessy, and we believe the turn-out for this yeaz's Board
of Review meeting should be similar to past years.
RECOMMENDATION/ACTION REOUIRED
I recommend that Council confirm Apri12, 1996 at 7:00 p.m. as the date and time for the
annual Board of Review.

Dear Mayor Mertensotto:
While the Ci#y Council is considering whether to accep# awnership of and
responsibility for the Ivy Falls Association's private park as offered by the Assaciation's
Board of Directors, I think the Council should be made aware of the fact that this is nat
a legitimate offer.
I am enclosing a letter from a corporate attorney citing the statutory requirements for
obtaining permission #rom the membership of the Association to transfer the properry.
The statutary requirements were not met by the Board in attempting to satisfy their
agenda of getting rid of the private park. If you would li�ce a copy of the Association By-
Laws, and/or a copy of the ballot used I would be happy ta forward them to you.
Yours truly,
Eiiis W Abrahamsan

Dear Ellis:
TELEPHONE
(61 2) 339-2500
TELECOPIER
(61 2) 339-6364
You have asked us whether certain action taken by the members of the Ivy Falls Home
Owners' Association, Inc., by a written ballot, has been lawfully taken. In that connec-
tion, you provided to us a copy of the Certificate of Incorporation of the Association,
together with its By-Laws as tliey existed prior to September 7, 1994, and a copy of the
By-Laws as adopted by the Board of Directors on September 7, 1994. You also
furnished to us a letter of September 12, 1994, from the President of the Association to
the members.
The issue involved in the written ballot was an authorization to transfer the "designated
area" owned by the Association to the municipality in which it is located.
Prior to the action by the Board of Directors on September 7, 1994, the By-Laws
provided in Article IV, Section 6, that the members could take any action which they
could take at a meeting by a writing "signed by all of the members." The By-Laws as
revised on September 7, 1994, omits this section in its entirety.
Section 7 of Article IX of the By-Laws authorizes the Board of Directors by a vote of its
majority to amend or alter the By-Laws at any meeting, subject to the powers of the
members to change or repeal that By-Law by a majority vote of the members present at
any annual meeting or any special meeting called for that purpose. Certain amendments
Mr. Ellis Abrahamson
Page 2
Octaber 16, 1995
may not be made by the Board af Directars which do not relate to the subject matter of
this letter. .
The letter of September 12, 1994, frorn the President to the members identifies three
significant changes in the By-Laws without identifying the removal af Section 6 of
Article IV. The omission to deal with a material change of this sort in the By-Laws
couid hardly be accidentai.
You did not furnish ta me the farm af written baliot by which the members took action
on the conveyance. You did furnish ta me a document entitled "Appxaval to Deed
Common Property to City." If this is the anly part of the ballot that was furnished to
yau, then it is def cient, Under § 317A.447{b), the wrrtten ballot must "provide an
opportunity to vote for or against each praposed action." In additian, the solicitatians
for vates by written ballot must {1} indicate the number of responses needed to meet the
quorum requirement; (2) state the percentage of approvals necessary to approve the
proposal; {3} specify the time by which a ballot must be received by the Association to
be caunted. �
If the ballat or the solicitation did not meet thase statutory requirements, then the vote
taken fails ta meeting the siatutory requirements.
If the written baliot and the solicitation do meefi �he statutary requirements, then the anly
redress of the members is to call a special meeting af the Association for the purpose of
revoking the actian taken by #he members. You couid aiso prapose the revacaiian by
virtue of written ballot, praviding you meet the statutory requirements far the form of
the writ#en bailot and the form of the soiicitation far vates. In either instance, whether it
is in the farm of a m.eeting or a written ballot, essentially what you are seeking to do is
obtai.n s�.zfficient �•otes ta demonstrate that I�s:� than tz�ve-t:hirds af th� o�vners are in favor
of the transfer of the property in question,
Very truly yours,

Dear Curt:
The undersigned, being members of the ivy Fa(Is Homeawners' Association, request
that the Board af Directors call a SPECIA� MEETING (since ihere has been na annual
meeting for two years) The purpose of the meeting would be to discuss the proposed
transfer of the private park around the falls tQ the city of Mendota Heighis.
Since the Cit}r Council wants same changes in the cieed, and since the straw po11
taken by the board was cpncerned with ths deed which they were using to offer the
prc�perty to the cit}r, it is obvious ihat the membership must vote again on whether ihey
want those changes or perhaps would like to make some other arrangements
conceming the private park which belongs ta tt�e association. The undersigned wotsld
like a meeting called before the February 6 Council meeting, preferably in January
We trust the baard will take no iurther action until this SPECIA� MEETING has been

Charles Mertensotto
Mayor
City of Mendota Heights
1101 Victoria Curve
Mendota Heights, MN 55118
Dear Mayor Mertensotto:
�AN � 0 t996
_ —�v�/�J
Jan. 9, 1996
In the near future you will be asked to pass judgment on a
significant new development in Mendota Heights---the building of a
new middle school on the Friendly Hills site. The purpose of this
letter is to call your attention to what I consider to be a
potentially serious defect in the site plan proposed for the new
school, namely the proximity of the building to high voltage power
lines traversing the site. A variety of considerations suggest
that children attending the new school may face an elevated risk of
adverse health effects, because of routine exposure to ambient 60
herz (Hz) electromagnetic field (EMF) emissions from the power
lines. For this reason, I believe that City approval of
construction of the school on the proposed site should be
contingent upon the demonstration that likely EMF exposure levels
on the site do not exceed warning levels cited in U.S. and Swedish
recommendations. �
In the remainder of this letter I would like to address the basis
for this concern. Assessing possible health risks related to EMF
exposure rests upon two complementary lines of evidence,
qualitative and quantitative. Let me address qualitative
considerations first.
QUALITATIVE CONSIDERATIONS
l. Findinas from epidemioloaical research. Over the past 16
years, a series of epidemiological studies have been conducted in
an effort to ascertain whether or not exposure to power line EMF
emissions has adverse health consequences. Exhibit A contains a
tabulation of results of 22 studies published between 1979 and
1993. The table is contained in a 1995 publication entitled,
"Questions and Answers About EMF,'� published by the National
Institute of Environmental Health Sciences and the U.S. Department
of Energy. Northern States Power (NSP) distributes this
publication free of charge; at the Nov. 20 meeting of the School
District 197 (SD197) Board of Education, copies were made available
to Board members and to SD197 officials.
�
2
The top fourteen studies cited in the table in Exhibit A summarize
results from 14 studies of cancer in children possibly attributable
to exposure to power line EMF emissions. Seven studies found no
elevated risk of either leukemia or other cancers; seven found a
statistically significant elevation in risk for occurrence of
cancer in either one category or the other, or both.
2. Recommendations by national bodies. Iri response to my inquiry
this past summer, the National Electrical Safety Board of Sweden
sent a letter outlining the position of national health and safety
bodies in Sweden regarding exposure to EMF.emissions (Exhibit B).
As noted in the letter, four of five responsible national bodies in
Sweden---the National Board of Housing and Planning, tYie National
Electrical Safety Board, the National Board of Health and Welfare,
and� the Swedish Radiation Protection• Institute---have adopted a
consensus recommendation to "avoid locating new homes, schools, day
nurseries, etc. close to existing electricity facilities that
generate significant magnetic fields if alternative locatio�s are
possible.." The Swedish National Electrical Safety Board also
recommends (second page of letter) that, "it should be avoided to
locate new schools, day nurseries, etc. so close to high power
lines that the magnetic field exceeds 0.2-0.3 microtesla" (0.1
microtesla equals 1 milligauss). The Swedish recommendations are
strongly influenced by findings of one of the epidemiological
studies, that of the Swedish researchers Feuchting and Ahlbom
published in 1993.(Exhibit A). .
More recently, a national body in the U.S. has issued an
essentially parallel recommendation. As detailed in an Aug. 18,
1995 Science Magazine ScienceScope news item (Exhibit C), a panel
of the U.S. National Council on Radiation Protection and
Measurements (NCRP) concludes that some health effects linked to
EMFs---such as cancer and immune deficiencies---appear real �and
warrant steps to reduce EMF exposure. Based on this conclusion,
the panel advises "due diligence" in reducing risk. One
recommendation issued by the panel in accord with this position is
that new d�y-care centers,.schools, and playgrounds "should not be
built • where • ambient • 60 '. [hertz] magnetic fields exceed 0.2
[microtesla]�� (i.e., 2 milligauss). �
3. Possibility of future reaulations or standards. To my
knowledge, no published research to date, nor any reputable
scientist in the field, has provided definitive testimony that
exposure to power lines EMFs either is absolutely safe or
absolutely unsafe in terms of possible health effects. This
essentially is the position adopted by NSP. On Oct. 18, 1995,
Mendota Heights City Councilmember Jill Smith sent a letter to
Cynthia Axness, Principal Environmental Scientist for NSP, asking
whether the utility could provide assurance to the City of Mendota
Heights that children attending the new school will be absolutely
safe from cancer risk from the nearby power lines. The reply from
Ms. Axness (Exhibit D) notes that, "Until such time that health
agencies determine that there is a"safe" or "unsafe" level of
exposure to EMF, NSP can only provicle information•to customers and
3
public on the issue so that they can make knowledgeable decisions
regarding personal exposure."
Nevertheless, the documentation in Exhibits B and C suggests that
a body of scientific and governmental opinion, in the U.S. and
elsewhere, holds reasonable doubt regarding the safety of EMF
exposure. For this reason, the possibility cannot be dismissed
that some time in the future, standards or regulati�ons will be
issued in the U.S. governing proximity of public and •private
buildings t� power lines. If such standards are issued, City
approval of the proposed�site for the new school may be open to
criticism, in that� a basis of reasonable doubt already has been
established regarding the advisability of building new schools
close to high voltage power lines.
QUANTITATIVE CONSIDER.ATIONS
The merit of the qualitative concerns raised above rests upon the
answer to the following question. Is the magnitude of the ambient
60 Hz magnetic field strength from the high voltage power lines
traversing the Friendly Hills site, over the area that the new
school will cover, any cause for concern? Evidence supporting an
affirmative answer to this question is suggestive, but not
definitive. '
On July 25, 1995, NSP collected a series of magnetic field strength
readings on the Friendly Hills site. Exhibit E provides a copy of
the report to SD197 from Ms. Axness summarizing results from this
analysis. The numbers on the site diagram are magnetic field
strength readings in milligauss. The readings show, as might be
expected, that milligauss levels decrease with distance from the
power lines. No readings were collected on or even very close to
the footprint for the new school. Furthermore, at the time these
readings were taken, the precise architectural layout for the
school had not yet been defined.
In order to examine .the relationship between the July NSP
milligauss readings on the Friendly Hills.site, and the updated
footprint for the new school, I have transcribed some of the
readings onto a recent site plan (probably close to the version
that will be proposed to the City). The results are .shown in
Exhibit F(the accuracy of the transcription should be considered
reasonable but not highly precise). I have chosen 4 readings
(labelled Readings 1-4 on the Exhibit E map) above 1 milligauss
that overlap with the school footprint. I have not included two
other overlapping readings above 1 milligauss (2.1 to the east on
Huber Road; 3.1 to the south on Mendota Heights Road) because of a
statement by Ms. Axness at the Nov. 20 Board meeting that these
readings may have been influenced by NSP electrical systems other
than the power lines.
On the map in Exhibit F, the 4 selected readings are shown as
straight lines, on the assumptiori that each reading would be
replicated at the same �distance from•the power line•across the
4
entire site. Although Reading 4 was obtained to the.east of the
power lines, I have transcribed the equidistance line on the west
side to show the relationship of this reading to the footprint.
The map in Exhibit F indicates that Reading 3(1.3 milligauss) is
inconsistent with Readings 2 and 4(2.0 milligauss each), in that
the former is less than the latter yet closest to the power lines.
Nevertheless,=the map in Exhibit F supports the overall conclusion
that some fraction of the school footprint, in its proposed
position, will be exposed to ambient 60 Hz magnetic field emissions
from�the power lines at a level equal to or above 2 milligauss.
A further quarititative consideration is that at their Ncsv. 20
meeting, the SD197 School Board passed a motion instructing the
District to pay NSP to replace the existing power line poles on the
Friendly Hills site with steel poles 20 feet higher. This decision
is described in a news article by Sue Hegarty in the Nov. 29 issue
of the Sun-Current (Exhibit G). As noted in the article,
increasing the pole height by 20 feet will reduce the exposure.
However, the amount of reduction is uncertain. At the Nov. 20
SD197 Board meeting, Ms. Axness referred to calculations suggesting
that a 20 foot increase in pole will reduce EMF strengths by 0.5 to
1.0 milligauss on the site. Referring to the map in Exhibit F, a
'reduction�of this magnitude would mean that more, perhaps all, of
the footprint would be exposed to magnetic field strengths below
2.0 milligauss. The accuracy of such estimates. can only be
verified with new readings after the higher poles have been
installed. �
POSITION OF THE SCHOOL DISTRICT
Because District officials will present the proposed•site plan to
the City, the position of the District regarding the EMF issue
should be addressed. At the Sept. 5, 1995 SD197 Board meeting, I�
called the Swedish recommendations on EMF exposure (Exhibit B) to
the attention of the Administration and School Board. Dr. Monson's
response was that, "this is not Sweden."
At the Oct. 16, 1995 SD197 Board meeting•, after I had reiterated my
concerns'about the Friendly Hills site, Superintendent Monson
stated that the site was "absolutely safe," insofar as �ssible
health risks from EMF power line emissions was concerned. He
claimed further that his judgement was based on assurance provided
to the District by NSP regarding safety of the site. This exchange
is documented in the minutes for the Oct. 16 SD197 Board meeting
(Exhibit H).
After Ms. Axness made her presentation to the SD197 Board at their
Nov. 20 meeting, I asked her why NSP had provided assurance to
SD197 regarding the safety of the Friendly Hills site (Exhibit H),
but was unwi�.ling to provide a similar assurance to the City of
Mendota Heights (Exhibit D). Ms. Axness responded that NSP had not
assured the District that the site was safe, and that the minutes
- of the Oct. 16 SD197 meeting misrepresent NSP's position.
�
Ta my knowledge SD197 Schaol Board rnembers have nat open.l.y
cliscussed the EMF issue at any Board meeting. They approved the
si�e plan proposed by the Administration and architects (Exhibit F)
without comment on the issue.
My interpreta�ion of the SD197 record regarding planning far the
Friendly Kill� schoal is as follaws. I believe �hat in �heir zeal
to ge� the new school built, all of the parties ta the planning
pracess---the Administration, the Schoal Board, and the archi�ects-
--have engaged in collective denial regarding possible health risks
associated v+lith �.he site. • Rather than due diligence, .their
delibe'ration instead has been characterized byy ei�.her overstatement
or silence, caupled with misrepresentatian o� NSP's posi�ir�n. The
recard sugges�s that'any a.ssurances that District afficials may
pravide in the future about health risks assacia�.ed with the si�e
should be viewed with skepticism.
The SD197 School Board daes deserve credit for recently �aking the
initia�ive to have NSP increa�e the height o� power ].ine poles on
the Friendly Hil].s site. While it not clear that concerns about
health risks �rom EMF emissians prampted thi� ac�iora: (the Hegarty
article (Exhibit G) cites contradictory statements from Board
member Weisbecker an this point}, the height increase should have
the effect of reducing such risks. .
A MATTER OF JUDGEMENT
As indicated at the beginning of �his letter, the ultimate outcome
of thi� matter re�ts upan your judgement. It is likely that few
other deci�ion� made during your tenure as a City official have the
po�ential of affecting-the health and welfare of so many children
in the community. What I wauld like to do at �.his point is �o
anticipate the substance of the debate, and affer my observations
on various questions raised. .
Incanclusive Research. You may encaun�er the argument, adzranced by
Ms. Axness (Exhibit D), �hat findings :Erom•the epidemiological
studies {Exhibit A)�ar.e i�conclusive. This is certainly true,• By
itS very nature, epidemiological.research is designed to establish
a.correlation be�ween e�osure to a.suspected hazard, and an
increa�ed incidence of some health problem. However, correlatian
does nat necessaril� prove causatian. It shou3d be noted•that the
objections raised by Ms. Axness about studies finding significant
ef�ects related to power line EMF expa�ure also may be raised about
studies f ir�ding no such ef fec�.s .
I believe that when hal�' o� an appreciable nu.mber af
epidemiologica]. studies find a•statistically significant elevatian
in cancer risk assaciated with exposure af children �.a power line
EMF emissians, then a causative relatianship becomes suspec�.
Evidently, there are a number of established pro�esszonals in the
field wha share this view tExhibi�s B and C). - .
�
You may encounter the argument that no plausible biological
mechanism has yet been demonstrated to explain how exposure to EMF
emissions can cause cancer. This is true. However, the research
to date has been conducted with non-human animals or with in vitro
preparations. A number of major biological studies currently are
underway in an effort to confirm or refute the positive
epidemiological results. Unfortunately, findings from these
studies are not likely to become available befo�e the City must
make a decision regarding the Friendly Hills site.
EMFs From Other Sources. You may encounter the argument (Exhibit
G).that other sources of EMFs, such as hair dryers or television
sets, cause higher magnetic field strengths than power lines, and
that concern about power line EMFs therefore is unwarranted.
However, exposure to these other EMF sources (even TV) typically is
occasional and intermittent, whereas power line fields are
continuous and thus referred to as ambient (Exhibit C). Concerns
have been raised about cancer risk from exposure to EMFs from other
sources, such as VDTs, electric blankets, or cellular telephones.
However, evidence regarding the power line risk.-is far more robust
because the ambient nature of power line EMFs, coupled with the
more or less ubiquitous distribution of power lines, ensures
consistent exposure by large numbers of people.'
Precedent. You may encounter the argument (see Superintendent
Monson's comment cited in Exhibit G) that because the City
previously has approved const�uction of some private residences (as
in the Kensington development) near the power line traversing the
Friendly Hills site, then SD197 should receive the same courtesy
tor its proposed new school. The key question here pertains to the
number exposed. Some 500-600 children wiil be attending the new
school.for periods of time typically ranging from 4 to 8 hours per
day, 5 days per week. At the site proposed, every child will be
exposed continuously to ambient 60 Hz magnetic fields from the
power lines while in the school. If there is a real and tangible
cancer risk associated with such exposure, then effects are more
likel,y to emerge with 600 children exposed than with a handful of
children in a few households exposed. �
Lack of Applicable Standards. You may encounter the argument that
because there are no standa•rds governing the construction of
schools near power lines (Exhibit D) , tlie City has no basis for
objecting to District plans to do so. However, as a City official,
you are charged with protecting the health, welfare, and safety of
City residents, even in the absence of explicit standards.
Expert Testimony. You may be tempted, understandably, to solicit
expert testimony to help guide your decision-making in this matter.
However, the type of testimony provided may depend upon the expert.
Based on the literature, there are some experts who probably would
claim that the proposed site for the new school is a bad idea.
There are others who probably would claim that the health risk
associated with the proposed site is acceptable. I believe that no
credible expert in the field would claim that the site is
absolutely safe or ab$olutely unsafe, in terms of health risk from
�
EMF emissions. For this reason, I believe that the value of expert
testimony may be uncertain.
Level of Exposure. Of all the arguments raised during this debate,
that pertaining to the level of exposure probably is the most
important. The analysis in Exhibit F suggests that under current
conditions, at least some of the footprint of the proposed school
°� may be exposed to power line EMF emissions at o'r above 2
milligauss. Both NCRP and Swedish recommendations (Exhibits B and
C) advise that new schools not be built in• ambient 60 Hz EMF fields
exceeding 2 milligauss. .
However, there are two design features that may reduce the exposure
level for children attending the school. First, as noted above,
the height of the power line poles will be increased by 20 feet
(Exhibit G). Second, the.three classroom wings are oriented away
from the power lines (Exhibit F). Areas of the school closest to
the power lines include the gymnasium, the cafeteria, and the media
theater. It is likely that children will spend more •time in
classrooms than in these latter areas. �
At this point it is impossible to predict exactly what effect these
design features will have on the exposure level. It is certainly
possible that together, they may ensure that most or all children
attending the school will be exposed to ambient EMF levels below�2
milligauss most or all of the time.
RECOMMENDATIONS
From the outset, my position with this issue has been that it is
better to err on the side of caution rather than risk. From this
perspective I believe that the key question is whether magnetic
field strength levels over the site proposed for the new school
conform to "due diligence"• U.S. �and Swedish recommendations
regarding acceptable ambient 60 Hz EMF levels for new schools. For
reasons out�lined above, no defin�itive answer to this question can
be provided at present. I therefore have the following
recommer�dations . �
�1. EMF�levels should be measured at�selected points covering the
entire footprint proposed for the new school. The measures should
be collected at representative power line load levels, because the
magnitude of power line EMFs varies as a function of current load
on the line.
2. Preferably, EMF measurements over the school footprint should
be made after heights of power line poles on the Friendly Hills
site have •been increased by 20 feet. If this approach is not
feasible, then reliable estimates should be provided regarding the
degree to which the 20 foot pole height increase will lower the
measurements recommended in Point 1.
3. If most or a11. of the foo�print for the new �chaol is exposed
to EMF levels belaw 2 milligauss {ccarrected for a 20 faot po�.e
height increase), then the si�e may be judged acceptable relative
to U.S. and �wedish recommenda�ions dealing with exposure �o
ambient 60 Hz magn.etic fields.
4. If a nontrivial percentage of the foo�print for the new school
is expased to EMF leve].s at or above 2 mil.ligauss (corrected for a
24 foot pole height irtcrea�e}, then �he site may be judged
unacceptable relative to U.S. arid Swedish recommenda�ion� dealin.g
wi�.h• exposure t�o ambient 60 Hz magnetic fie.lds. The definitian af
"nontrivial'" is a mat�.er of judgement. _
I sincerely hope that �he comments• in this letter, and the
accampanying exhibits, are af use to you in addre�sing this issue.
Yours,
Thomas J. 5mith, Ph.D.

Dear Mr. Smith,
United States Dep. of the Interior
Thomas J. Smith
5629 Minnehaha Av. South
Menneapolis, MN 55417-3099
USA
We thank You for Your letter which we received through P Helenius. The
study preformed by Prof Anders Ahlbom and Dr Mari� Feuchting at the
Karolinska Institute as well as other residential and occupational
epidemiological studies have been taken into account at governmental level
while preparing the statements below.
Are there any limits for magnetic fields?
No. Current knowledge is not sufficient for us to tell hpw magnetic fields may
affect us. So we do not have a basis on which to set limits. However, suspicion
regarding the link between magnetic fields and cancer mean that we do
recommend you exercise a certa.in degree of caution. Therefore, the following
points should be taken into account when towns and villages are being planned
and built if this is possible at reasonable cost:
- Attempt to design/locate new high power lines and electricity facilities so
that �nagnetic fields are limited. �
- Avotd locating new homes, schools, day nurseries, etc. close to existing
electricity facilities that generate significant magnetic fields if alternative
locations are possible. �
- Attempt to limit fields of significant strength in existing homes, schools and
workplaces.
These statements represent the consensus between the National Board of
Housing and Planing, the National Electrical Safety Board, the National Board
of Health and Welfare and the Swedish Radiation Yrotection Institute, four out
of five responsible authorities in Sweden.

Beside the policy of consensus the National Electrical Safety Board has
recommended that it should be avoided to locate ew schools, day nurseries,
etc. so close to high power lines that the magnetic field exceed 0,2-0,3 µT,
wile awaiting further research results.

Dear Ms. Smith,

Telephone (612) 330-5500
� � � .
�ee /�'�'x G��'�
Thank you for your letter regarding electric and magnetic fields (EMF.), and for the
additional information regarding the proposed new middle school to be built in
Mendota Heights. �
Your letter discussed a summary of re.sidential power-line cancer studies cited in the
booklet entitled "Questions and Answers About EMF", which is an informational
document that Northern States Power (NSP) distributes to �customers who request
EMF informaiion. In discussion regarding child cancer studies,.you cited various
studies that reported "significantly elevated" risk for childhood cancer and leukemia.
Some of the studies cited in the booklet do indicate a statistically significant odds
ratio, meaning that the occurrence of childhood cancer in these specific studies is
greater than expected by chance. There are many other studies cited that do not
indicate a statistically signi�cant association between EMF exposure and childhood
cancers.
In interpretation of any epidemiological study, it is misleading to look only at the
odds ratios in determining .the study results, We must also look at the number of -
cases o� c�ildhcod cancer cit2d in the study, :vheth�r �xpos�:rss were estimated or
actually measured, and whether confounding factors (such as other exposures,
lifestyle, etc.) were considered in the study. For example, in the 1979 Wertheimer &
Leeper study cited in the booklet, estimates of exposure were used rather than
measurements. In the 1992 Swedish study, (Feychting and Ahlbom), the risk
calculations were based on a very small number of cases; in addition, no cancer
association was found with present day in-home magnetic field measurements.
In order to determine whether an exposure causes an adverse health effect,
scientists look for consistency and repeatability in study results and for a dose-
response relationship (the greater the exposure, the greater the likelihood of
developing the cited health outcome�. Neither of these has been consistently seen
with EMF studies. Utilities, including NSP, and numerous health and environmental
�
agencies continue to fund additiona! EMF research in residentiaE, occupationa! and
(aboratory settings to help resolve concerns regarding EMF.
Your letter asks that NSP provide assurance to the Mendota Heights cammunity that �'
children a#tending the new schoo! wi!! be absoluteky safe from cancer risk from the
nearby transmission line. in respanse to this, 1 can tell you that there are currently - �-
no federa! or state health regulations regarding EMF expasure nor are there any
occupational regulations for EMF exposure in workplace settings. NSP looks to
health agencies ta interpre# EMF study results and to set appropriate r�guEations to
protect employees and the .public fram known health hazards. As such, no
reguiations have been set for �iVIF. Uniii such time that health agencies determine� •
that there is a"safe" ar °unsafe" level of exposure to EMF, NSP can only provide
informatian ta customers anci public on the issue so that ihey can make . .
knowledgeaQie decisions regarding personai exposure.
You also asked if NSP has developed any recommendations regarding the distance
that schoals should be located fr�om power lines. NSP transmission lines are
constructed in compliance with the I�ational Electric Safety Code, with easement
widths deiermined by Naiional Electric Safety Code cfearances. We have set no
additional recommendations beyond these requirements. . ,
If you have additional questions on .EMF, please call me at 330-6343. Also, I will b�
providing a presen#a#ian on EMF to lndependent SchooJ District #197 Schaol Board
on Navember 20 at the F.M. Grass Middle School located in West St. Paul. The
meeting begins at 7:CIOPM and is open to tFte public. 1 would be hapPY to answer
yaur questians at that time alsa. �

Dear Ms. Axness:
Oct. 18, 1995
Thank� you for sending me the information on electric and
magnetic fields (EMFs) that I requested.
The background for my request centers on plans by School
District 197 to� build a new middle school on a site called the
Friendly Hills site in Mendota Heights. Traversing the site�are
115 RV transmission lines. �
Plans being developed by the school district call for
constructing the new school fairly close to the transmission lines�;
the two enclosed diagrams illustrate this point. One diagram shows
the rough footprint of the new school, along with a sera.es of
magnetic field measurements taken at various points on the Friendly
Hills site. The diagram was provided by the School District. Mr.
Tom Weisbecker, a member of the District 197 School Board,
indicated that the numbers on this• diagram are magnetic field
strengths in milligauss.
The second diagram more accurately shows an outline of what
the new school wili look like. . The. three wings, pointing �to the
west, southwest, and south away�.from the transmission lines, are
the classroom wings. This diagram also was provided by the .School
District. The thick dashed lines in the seconc3 diagram indicate
the 75 foot setbacks on each side of the_transmission line. Based
on this scale, it appears that the footprint for new school lies
between about 150 feet and about 1200 feet from the transmission
line.
In the booklet entitled "Questions and Answers Abaut EMF" that
you sent me; page 13 provides a summary of residential power-line
cancer studies. The first 14 studies listed in the table deal with
child cancer studies. According to the table, five studies report
signif icantly elevated risk for leukemia, and five studies Leport
significantly el�vated risk far other .cancers. This represents
just over one-third of studies cited in the table.
�
- 2 -
,r' These findings na�ura],ly cause me to ask whether the children
wha wi.11 be attending the new z�.i.ddle schoaZ in Mendota Heights will
be expased to elevated risk o� cancer because of the praximi.ty af
the schaal ta the transmission Zine. Because a� this conce�cn, I
would l.ike to ask if NSP can provide assurance to aur co�munity
that childr�n attending the new schoal wi.Zl be absolutely safe from
cancer =i-sk from the nearby �ransmi.ssion line. Additianally, I
would� like to ask if NSP has developed any recommendatians
regarding the distance that schoals should be Iacated f=om power.
].ines . ' �
�I thank you for your help with these questions and look
forward to hearing from you. .
Sincerely,
�i/�~�- �1

New poles will take up less
space on the site. Students also
woutd be less Iikely to climb the
new poles than the �i-frame

However, the decision to erect
the new poles 20-feet higher was
to decrease EMF readings, he
said. �
� To run the lines underground
wou2d be cost prohibitive,'said

EMFs are measured in znilli-

Moved by Mr. Jackson, seconded by Mr. Weisbecker to adopt the following resaluiion:
Whereas, the Board of Education of Independent School District 19? has scheduled an excess levy
referendum ta be placed before the voters Novernber'7, I995, and;
Whereas, the Board of Education' previousIy authorized the formation of a representative
committee, whose rnembership was comprised of District residents, attending students, parents and
disirici staff, and, • � .
Therefore, as composed, the Excess Levy Task Force was directed by ihe Board of Education to
camplete a review of the current Fiscal Year 1996 (1.995-96) for all possible reductions, having, in
every instance, the least amouni of negative impaci on students in the classroom;
Now, Therefore be it R.esolved, that the $oard of Education accepts these proposed reductions
from the Excess Levy Task Force, and the Board of Education extends its deepest appreciation ta
each Task Force member for their time and difficult work, and;
Be it Further Resolved, that, in the event the question posed on Tuesday, November ?,� 1995,
does not achieve a majority af affirmative votes, these proposed reductiorts as submitied will be
reviewed by the Board of Education and District Administrators prior to the compilation of any
budget draft far the 1995-9'1 schaol year budget, �scal year 1997. Savin�s, or cost reductions,
realized in fiscal year 1996 will be reviewed during the preliminary draf� budget process for fiscal
year 1997.
Be it Further Resolved, that in the interest of maximizing the effectiveness of the final fiscal year
1997 budget, the Board of Education will examine the impact of all budget reductions on the
District's educational plan insuring equitable services regardless of gender, age, grade level, socio-
economic status, program, talent or defined legal mandates. '

SUBJECT: Wentwo�th Avenue Water Services
I ]�����[�1�]
It is pcoposed to provide #ire protection and insta!! individual water services
to serve the tots located along Wentworth Avenue adjacent to a new thirty inch
i30") diameter watermain being installed this summer. It would not be feasible to
determine a fair assessment for these properties based on fihe costs for this large
diameter trunk main, so as an alternative, we are proposing to use the watermain
assessment similar to the Swanson Addition 2nd Addition. Both developments
have large lots, taverage Swanson lo# size equals .73 acres compared to a 4.3
acre average lat size for Wentworth Avenue). Other options cauld be pursued if
desired, but 1 feel that they woutd a1t result in a higher than normal assessment
comparable to the proposed $4,700 per lot.
The City has received ane written objectian to the amount of the
assessment {see attached}. Another way to determi�e a fairldefensible
assessment would be to ask an appraiser to calculate the increase in value �o the
proper�}r as a result of watermain construction.

Dear Mr. & Mrs. Reynoid Guyer:

imstallation of a 3U" diameter trunk water line fmm the six million gallon (MG) reservoir in
West St. Paul to the two MG water tawer in Mendota Seights would s��tisfy d�mand for the

exfiemely high for the pmperty owners. The praposed assessment rate was established on a

RE: Wentworth Watermain Feasibility Report
(Improvement No. 95 Project No. 4)
In 1991, the City hired the Engineering firm of Howard Ne�d%s Tamman &
Bergendoff (HNTB) ta condnct a study of the City's water supply system. The results
concluded that the City's water supply system is nat adequate to keep up with future demand
unless y.mprovements are made to the system. Their solution was to construct a 24" diameter
trunk line from the 6 million gallan (MG) reservoir in West St. Paul to the 2 MG water tower
in Mendota. Iieights. The results of the study were then sent to St. Paul Water Utility for their
review. Although they agre�ed that a trunk Iine would be an acceptable improvement, St. Paul
Water Utility recammended t�at insl:allation of a 3Q inch t�unk line would serve the City well
into the 21 st century. -
Construction of the trunk watermain would be campleted in phases over a 10-15 year
period. Follawing completion of �ach phase, the impact of the tntnk Iiue wou2d be madeled
aad analyzed to determine if future improvements are required. One phase of the tcunk line
was completed as part of the Mendota I�eights Rvad Reconstcuction Project, with the
installation of a 24 inch watermaiva in 1992.
The next p�ase af the trunk line would consist of installing a 30 inch diameter trunk
1°uze from ti;e b MG reservair to the intersecti.on of Dadd Road and Wentworth Avenue. As
part of the new St. Pau1 Water Utility contract, the 30 inch tcunk line would be e�ctended from
the West St. Paul reservoir to the center line af Delaware Avenue and Wentwarth Avenue by
St. Paul Water, at no cast to Mendota. Heights. Timing of the installation of watermaia alang
this segment would coincide with road work by the City af West St. Pau2 to be constructed in
1996. After rea.ching the City border at Delaware Avenue installation of the watermain would
continue alang Wentworth Avenue to the intersection of Dodd Road.
I':•1'. �' ;IJY•►
The project is being coordinated between two agencies, St. Paul Water Utility and the
City of Mendota Heights. St. Paul Water will be iesponsible for the design of the watermain,
_.- ordering the material, and installation and inspection of the watermain. Mendota Heights will
be responsible for the preparation of plans and specifications for the excavation of the
watermaia trench, restoration of Wentworth Avenue, and obtaining necessary permits from
Dakota County and Mn/DOT. The 30" watermain trunk line will be installed on the south
side of Wentworth Avenue, approximately eight (8) feet from the centerline. Wentworth
Avenue will be restored as determined by the Dakota County Highway Department.
There are 11 residents along Wentworth Avenue, between Delaware Avenue and Dodd
Road that are served by private wells for their water supply. Since it is difficult to estimate
the service life of a well, residents may request to be served by City water, once there well
fails. It would be advantageous for the City to provide service conne�tion from the trunk line
to each lot as part of the project, to avoid any future disturbance with Wentworth Avenue after
construction is complete. Service cc�nnections would consist of tapQing into the watermain and
installing a 1" to 2" copper service stubs 10' beyond the property line for each lot. The
residents would be responsible for connecting the copper stub to their house when it i"s needed.
� ; • ��. • � .0 �i. • . Ni.
As previously mentioned, St. Paul Water Utility will pay for the portion of the
watermaia in West St. Paul. Mendota Heights will be responsible for all costs from Delaware
Avenue to Dodd Road. The estimated costs, including the work performed by 5t. Paul Water
amount to $557,OOO.UO. Project costs are proposed to be shared between two sources:
assessing the 11 residents along Wentworth Avenue and the Water Revenue Fund. Because
this is a"system" improvement of large lot sizes, assessing each lot equally for the entire cost
of the pmject proved to be an excessive amount another option was considered. This year the
City had three subdivision projects to be assessed for watermain construction: Mendota
Meadows, Swansons 2nd Addition and Ivy Falls South. Each of these projects had varying
watermain assessment amounts due to the size of the lots in the subdivision. Since the larger
lots of Swansons 2nd Addition compare mostly with lots along Wentworth Avenue, we feel
that the estimated watermain assessment per lot of $4,700.00 of Swansons 2nd Addition would
be aa appropriate rate for the lots along Wentworth Avenue. The total assessment amount for
the 11 lots would be $51,700.00 and applied toward the pmject, leaving a difference of
$505,300.00 to come from the Water Revenue Fund. Should any of the lots, ever be further
developed, hook up charges would be collected for those new lots at the time of the
subdivision.
: '. • ulul'.1� • 11 •.
This project is feasible from both the technical aad financial staadpoint given the funds
from the Water Revenue Fuad and lot assessments. I recommend ordering the required public
hearing and proceeding with the project.

RE: Notice of Hearing on Proposed Construction of Water Main Improvements
to Serve Wentworth Avenue from Delaware Avenue to Dodd Road
Ladies and Gentlemen:
I have had an opportunity to review Mr. Shaun Sanders' letter of January 2, 1996 describing the
action proposed to be taken with respect to the extension of a trur,k water line from West St. Paul
to the intersection of Wentworth Avenue and Dodd Road. I am supportive of the project and think
that the availability of fire hydrants will improve properiy values for those of us who reside on
Wentworth and are not cunently close to hydrants on Delaware.
I am concerned about the closure •of Wentworth Avenue for a lengthy period of time and would
like to know whether the contract for this project provides for penalties if it is not completed in a
timely fashion. If it does not so provide for penalties, I would urge that the City negotiate a
penalty and/or other economic incentive to complete the project in an.expeditious manner.
I do find the proposed assessment of $4,700 per lot to be objectionable. In a conversation with
Mr. Sanders, I have learned that the proposed assessment was established based upon a
subdivision project constructed in the City which consisted of eight lots on a parcel of property 6.5
acres in size. Mr. Sanders advises that the average lot was 32,000 square feet, or a shade less than
three-quarters of an acre. He also advises that each of the lots was required to hook up to the
City's water main. For the reasons set forth below, I believe that the proposed assessment is not a
"fair amount" to assess for the properties in the Wentworth Avenue area as Mr. Sanders has
indicated in his letter:
1. I think it is a fair statement that all of the properties to be assessed along Wentworth Avenue are
greater than three-quarters of an acre in size. While the uninformed might conclude that the
greater property size justifies a larger assessment, the City has adopted minimum lot sizes in this
particular area because septic systems and wells are necessary. Moreover, the character of the
neighborhood is one of larger homes with greater green space, wildlife space and wetland areas
providing boundaries between many of the homes: .Mr. Sanders advises that the City will assess
11 Wentworth �properties and that the two Wentworth properties closest to Dodd will not be
assessed because they currently have access to City water from Dodd Road. Beca.use these
properties will not be assessed, I assume that the City has not given a great deal of weight to the
proximity of iire hydrants to their driveways in setting the assessment. If this assumption is
conect, the assessment is strictly for water usage rights at some poinx in the future.

2. While I have not taken a poll, it is my guess that most of the Wentworth properties will
-- -- continue to utilize their existing wells. This may not be true for two of the lots in Foxwood that
have yet to be built upon. For those properties who cunently use their own well water, it is
important to note that the expense of creating the wells was significantly greater than $4,700.
Accordingly, each of the property owners has already invested in access to water and, unlike the
"comparable" subdivision project cited in Mr. Sanders' letter, we are not required to hook up to
the water main. In light of this fact, coupled with the observation made in item 1 above, a case can
be made for no assessment to the properties on Wentworth not utilizing the water main. Rather,
should such properties elect to use the water main in the future, they would be assessed at that
time based upon whatever amount the City decides to assess those currentiy huo%iiig up ta thc
main.
3. I am not aware that any of the residents along Wentworth Avenue have petitioned the City
Council to extend residential wa.ter line service down Wentworth Avenue. Indeed, within the last
two years, the City advised the McMahons that there were no plans to provide water access. The
point is that this extension is an accommodation to the entire City of Mendota Heights, as made
clear in Mr. Sanders' January 2 letter. The aggregate proposed assessment for the 11 properties
represents approximately 9.3% of the entire project. I believe that this far exceeds the value of
whatever "benefit" will accrue to the Wentworth Avenue property owners as a result of the project.
Indeed, the closure of Wentworth Avenue for however long, and the tearing up of our driveways,
cannot be viewed as a benefit to those of us who are not anticipating use of the residential wa.ter
service.
For the reasons set forth above, I believe that the proposed $4,700 per lot assessment is excessive
and should be reduced dramatically.

Subject: Dakota Bank Propasal to Redevelop the "Curley Site"
The City has been approached bq Dakota. Bank which is considering the redevelopment
of the "Curley" pmperiy Iocated at the sautheast corner of Lexington Avenue and T.H. 110.
Mr. John Seidel, President of Dakota Bank, has proposed to develap a new bank, a
SugerAmerica and b ox 7 single family residences on the property. Mr. Seidel, Mr. Jack
Boarman, architect, and Mr. Samuel Van Tassel, of SuperAmerica have xequested to appear
on 1`uesday evening's Council agenda ta have a preliminary d'zscussion with City Cauncil
regarding Tax Increment Finaacing. {Please see attached letter of request from Mr. Jack
Boanman.)
The above named representatives have met with sta.ff and a City Council subcommittee
consisting of Council members Jill Smith and Sandra Krebsbach to review the preliminary site
plans and ta discuss the redevelopment af this site. They hope to appear before the Pl�nning
Commissian in Februa'ry for city planning review and recommendation to City Council.
(Please see attached survey and design drawings of three site plan options that have been
presented.)
The site is Iocated in the T� Increment District and is an identified garcel in the
District. Dakota Bank is asking for assistance in the reclevelapment and construction of their
projeci ihrough the Ta� Increment Distr�ict. The financial data an the future increment is
detailed in the attached material.
A quick review of the histary of this site shows that in 1985, the City Council
incorporated the "Curley Site" inta the Tax Increment District for the purpose af encouraging
the redevelopment of a blighted area. Since tk�at tirme, we have worked with several
development pmposais which, for various reasons, have fallen by the way side.
At this iime, the Dakota Bank has come forward with a pmposal which would include a
SuperAmerica station on the corner, with a Bank building on the eastern portion of the site in
alignment with the Curley Furniture Store. Single family lots are proposed along Mary Ade1e
Avenue with a new buffer proposed along ths rear of these single family lots. A replat will be
necessary at some point in the future to bring these lots into compliance with minimum
standards for the R 1 Zoning District.
The developer has outlined total costs which could apply to Tax Increment Financing
for the estunated amount of $594,000. A specified breakdown of these estimated costs has not
been included and we are hoping the developer will be prepared to discuss this on 7iiesday
evening. •
Of these estimated costs, the construction of a frontage road and the demolition of the
existing buildings would total approximately $160,0{)0. MnDOT should pay a portion of these
costs, up to $70, 000 at their typical participation rate of 6U °b . The City of Mendota Heights
has applied to MnDOT for a Cooperation Agreement that would finance a share of the
frontage road. The frontage road to the west of this site was constructed under a similar
shared cost approach, with the City's portion being funded from the general t� increment
district fund.
' The City Council may wish to consider the frontage road costs and the demolition costs
(estimated to be $160,000) as separate from the development costs and paid through currently
available Tax Increment funds. The balance of the site development costs, including site
preparation, utilities and landscaping will be approximately $434,0(}0 which will cover a"Pay-
As-You-Go" note of up to $452,000 at a ni.ne percent (9 °b) discount rate. (Please see attached
analysis.) '
In keeping with the Council's stated desire to be more involved in the early stages of
the projects involving Tax Increment Financing, the representatives of Dakota Bank are before
you this evening to discuss the concept of Tax Increment Financing and eligible costs. The
Council members on the sub-committee may wish to comment on the discussions regarding the
proposed site plan and buildings. —
ACTION REOUIRED
Meet with the Dakota Bank representatives to receive an introduction to the project and
to consider the preliminary proposal of Dakota Bank for site development and Tax Increment
assistance.
