SYNOPSIS OF MONTHLY FIRE RUNS: On December 12th, the department responded to Highway 55 at Dean Avenue for a rescue call. A vehicle had gone off the roadway and overturned on its roof in the deep snow. The Maxi -Air bags were used to raise the vehicle's windows above the snow so that the victim could be removed from the car safely. On December 15th, we were called to the Dakota County State Bank building where a malfunction in the combusion controls of the boiler caused a stack fire of unburned gases. There was minor damage -to the framing around the stack opening in -the roof. The fresh air intakes were opened by management to remove the smoke and smell. The Eagan Fire Department requested mutual aid on December 26th. They had two quad -home locations on fire at the same time. Twenty men responded to the scene with two pumpers and the rescue truck. An eight man stand-by crew stayed at the station. West St. Paul was on call to back us up if we received a local call. On December 31st, the Chief received a call to respond to 700 - First Avenue for a fire in the attached garage. During the night, one of the vehicles in the garage caught fire in the engine compartment. The fire burned itself out undetected until later in the morning. The car was destroyed, and the other car in the garage,.along with the contents of the garage received smoke damage. Damage was estimated at $2,700.

Danielson Public Works Director SUBJECT: Culligan Subdivision - Public Hearing At the October 4, 1983 City Council meeting, the Public Hearing for the proposed Culligan Subdivision was continued to January 17, 1984. The original hearing date was July 19, 1983 but has been continued twice pending a resolution of potential surface water problems from flows into the City of Mendota. Staff has been working with Mendota offi- cials on a Joint Powers Agreement. Mendota Heights drafted the agree- ment and submitted it to Mendota. Staff attended the October 11, 1983 Mendota City Council meeting to explain this agreement and answer any questions they might have regarding it. It appeared to Staff after that meeting that Mendota would not enter into any kind of Joint Powers Agreement with Mendota Heights on this matter. Lorena Atkins the acting Mayor for Mendota called me recently and stated that they have apparently changed their position and drafted a new agreement which she feels both cities will be able to live with. That agreement will be considered at their February City Council meet- ing. I called Larry Culligan to report to him this development. He isn't opposed to delaying this hearing for another time to see if the Mendota Joint Powers Agreement is workable. He has some alternatives he would like to discuss and will be present Tuesday evening. He asks that the hearing only be delayed until the first meeting in March (March 6, 1984). Staff recommends that once again we continue this hearing, and set the time for 7:30 on March 6, 1984.

Whipple Federal Building) at Fort Snelling to alternate quarters within a preferred area. Your city is included in this preferred area. Our preliminary space planning determined we would need approxi- mately 150,000 square feet of net interior space located on a site of approximately 7 to 10 acres. We trust you will inform your council and constituents of these plans and forward to us any statutes and zoning regulations which may be pertinent. Should you have any questions regarding the above, please direct your correspondence to this office. Sincerel R.

Lockwood Mayor City of Mendota Heights 2 Hingham Circle West St. Paul, Minnesota 55118 Dear Bob: Just a note -to say thanks for putting me on the agenda for your meeting next Tuesday to talk about the proposed Eagan racetrack site. I will, as you suggested, check with the City Clerk on Friday to see just when I• am scheduled to be on the agenda. It will be my purpose when I appear before the Council to give you some background information that I have developed on the subject and then to ask the Council to formerly adopt a resolution in opposition to the Eagan site. For your information I am enclosing a copy -of the recommendations that were before the Metropolitan and Community Development Committee of the Metropolitan Council last week and were recommended with some modifications to the full Council for action this Thursday. One of the significant changes in the recommendations upon motion made by Gertrude Ulrich was to the effect that no site recommendation was intended to suggest or imply in any way that there would be any re-routing of air traffic to accommodate any particular racetrack site. The context in which this motion was made made it clear that it was the intention of the Committee to give the Eagan developers warning that there would be no diversion of air traffic over populas areas in order to make the Eagan site more feasible. Unfortunately, we both know that if the'Eagan site is selected, and air traffic becomes a problem (.and I assure you that it is a problem) the operators will avail themselves of every tool at their disposal to re-route air traffic and that means moving it over populated areas in Mendota Heights, among others. Mr. Robert January 10, Page Two G. Lockwood 1984 The context in which this motion was made and adopted by a vote of the full Committee were remarks by me expressing concern about the Eagan site and possible diversion of air traffic and, more importantly, an expression of the same concern by Tim Anderson, formerly the MASAC Director and now an assistant administrator of MAC. ' I am, of course, also concerned about direct noise from the track and of the impact that such a location of the track may have on efforts at re -zoning in Mendota Heights. I purchased the lots behind my present home, consisting of approximately 7-1/2 acres in 1972 in the expectation that the residential'zoning extending from the south boundary of my property all the way to the southern boundary of Mendota Heights would stay intact. I am sure that I don't know whether I will enjoy horse racing, for I have never attended a horse race. I am sure, however, that I would not enjoy hearing the play-by-play in my backyard every night and all day Saturday and Sunday, nor would the other residents in Mendota Heights who live in the same proximity to the proposed Eagan site. Z shall look forward to seeing you next Tuesday evening. BPF: jat Enclosure cc: Kathleen Swanson City Clerk Very truly your , ernard P.

The anticipated impact of the proposed development on residential property values in the area of the City of Mendota Heights lying south of Highway 110. e. The anticipated impact of such other factors described in the EAW which are likely to have an impact on the City of Mendota Heights and its residents. r -3- 2. The City Council of the City of Mendota Heights wishes to express its appreciation to the City of Eagan for its coopertion in keeping the Council advised of plans for the proposed track and requests that it continue to do so in the future. THIS RESOLUTION adopted by the City Council of the City of Mendota Heights this _ day of January, 1984. Ll Mayor City Clerk 1. R JAMES P. LOSLEBEN 815 HAZEL COURT MENDOTA HEIGHTS, MINNESOTA 55120 612-454.3108 I UL IF 17, 1984 U`II F Mayor Robert Lockwood City of Mendota Heights 750 South Plaza Drive Mendota Heights, MN 55120 SUBJECT: January•i7, 1984, Council Meeting Item 7c - Communications - Eagan Race Track Site Dear Mayor Lockwood: Due to some rescheduling of business appointments, I will be unable to attend the regularly scheduled Council Meeting on January 17. Therefore I must communicate my comments regarding the race track location in Eagan to you and the full council,by this letter. I have had numerous calls opposing the location of the race track in Eagan due to its close proximity to the southern boundary of Mendota Heights. I, too, am concerned if the effects of the race track siting are detrimental to our community., especially in the area of it being a noise generator. Specifically, it may affect us as follows: 1. Substantial increase of traffic on 149. 2. Routing of aircraft over residential areas during race times in both Eagan and Mendota Heights. 3. Public-address system carryover to residential areas in Mendota Heights and Eagan. 4. Last and most importantly;aMendota Heights Council;,s ability to maintain existing zoning as specifiad.iri the recent comprehensive plan. Of the four areas above, noise is covered in three of the items. With or without the race track or any development at that site, we ` already have an aircraft nice problem. 'Our main concern, then, should be some type of mandatory control for aircraft to fly in the noise footprints suggested recently by MAC. Mayor Robert Lockwood January 17, 1984 Page 2 Traffic from that site for any development should be designed by MNDOT for being handled on the 494 freeway rather than on local roads. In summary, I am not opposed to development of the site, but I am opposed to development which affects the living style of the residents of Mendota Heights; and until the above items are concretely addressed, I cannot support the proposed facility.

Delmont, Chief of Police SUBJECT: Snowmobile Laws -0 This memorandum is in response to a request by City Administrator, Kevin Frazell. He indicated that there was discussion at the January 3rd Council Meeting that, again, centered on second-hand snowmobile complaints. History During the two winters that I have been with the City, we have had snowmobile complaints come to our attention through Council members. In Winter, 1983, we had approximately six snowmobile complaints, and two of them were generated, after the fact, by Council members. With all of the snow we have had this winter, we have received only one complaint and that was at the January 3rd meeting. Snowmobile Ordinance The Mendota Heights Snowmobile Ordinance C#1107) is attached for your information. It basically outlines the equipment needed, the proper method of operation and the places you can and cannot operate a snowmobile. I believe the local law is clear and allows that snowmobiles may not be operated, under normal conditions, anywhere in Mendota Heights except on private property with the permission of the owner. Statutory and Criminal Rule Limitations on Arrest of Misdemeanants Minnesota Statutes retain the common law requirements that a police officer (or a citizen) may not make an arrest for any crime less serious than a felony unless that crime was committed in the officer's presence. The few exceptions to this include DWI, school bus stop arm violations and domestic abuse. If a police officer does not personally observe an offense, he cannot make an arrest! A citizen is held to the same standard. If a citizen sees a neighbor operating a snowmobile illegally, he/she may make a citizen's arrest and order a police officer to "deliver the accused to a magistrate". Obviously, there are very few citizens willing to take this action and fewer willing to testify in court to pursue the action. Warn and Release If we receive a first-hand complaint from a witness to an illegal act, we can go to the scene, collect the information needed and confront the suspect. We can then advise them'of the illegal act, and take steps to gain compliance with the law in the future. Direct contact with the witness, as soon after the act as possible, is very important. Our experience has shown that we will invariably be met with denial and it becomes embarrassing and frustrating when we attempt to defend a position with week old information that was received second or third -hand. In the past, this type of approach has been met with accusations of harassment, grudges and "neighbors- out to get me". This is not a comfortable, responsible or effective way to eliminate a problem. Recommendations I can well understand that Council members receive a lot of calls from neighbors and other citizens demanding certain actions to alleviate City problems. I can even understand why some neighbors might expect their problems to be solved without them becoming involved. They, in turn, must be made to understand that we are severely limited in our ability to help them if they insist on reporting snowmobile violations, or any violations, in this roundabout way. We can make our officers aware of problem areas, but with 30 some pieces of work to perform every day, past problems often are given a low priority. This is especially true during the too - often occasions when there is only one officer on the street. The most effective way, virtually the only way, to solve these problems is for Council members, the Administrator, or other Staff members to advise the people to call the Police direct, to call them immediately, and to provide them with sufficient factual information in order to get the job done quickly and properly. DJD:cb Attachment - Mendota Heights Snowmobile Ordinance #1107 50 MEMORANDUM January 6, 1984 TO: Mayor & City Council FROM: Dennis J. Delmont, Chief of Police SUBJECT: Firewood Sales at 1472 Sibley Memorial Highway In compliance with direction from the City Council, George McNeill, 1472 Sibley Memorial Highway, has apparently ceased sales of firewood at the above location. In addition, there is no storage of firewood to be seen on the property. History 9-20-83 Mr. Irving Shaw, attorney for George McNeill, appeared before the Council to discuss his client's sale and storage of firewood. He requested extra time for Mr. McNeill to clean the situation up. Council set a deadline of 1-1-84 and received a $250 escrow to ensure compliance. 11-18-83 A large amount of slab wood was present on the site. It was loaded on three trailers parked between McNeill's house and Highway 13. 12-28-83 Three trailers still present with approximately eight bundles of slab wood on them. 1-3-84 Property was checked and all slab wood and the three trailers had been removed. Recomendation Mr. McNeill has complied with the order of the Council and, in accordance with that order, his $250 escrow should be returned. DJD: cb CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS MEMO January 10, 1984 TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: LeRoy Noack, Fire Chief SUBJECT: Capital Outlay Purchases I would like to request permission to update Squrt Unit #2286 (waterway), at an approximate cost of $4,100; to purchase the Scott Air Pacs for about $3,500, and to purchase the bunker pants, cost uncertain at this time. NOTE TO COUNCIL: A short explanation may.help. The $4,100 for Unit #2286 was requested by LeRoy last fall, and inadvertently was omitted from the CIP. The water- way improvement/repair is necessary and can be funded by Equipment Certificates as requested. The Air Pacs and bunkerpants have been discussed and are listed on page 54a of the CIP. Recommend approval as requested. Orvil J. Johnson January 11, 1984 January 13, 1984 TO: Mayor & City Council MEMORANDUM FROM: Dennis Delmont, Chief of Police SUBJECT: 1984 Squad Cars History HAND OUT As you are probably aware, we use our squads for two years, the first year as a marked cruiser, and the second as an unmarked car. As a result, we operate four vehicles, while only buying two. This year we must replace our third marked car. This vehicle is used on a limited basis and is kept for three years, or until the mileage reaches approximately 60,000. If squad cars cost $10,000, this results in an annual replacement cost of $10,000 for each three year period. With five cars in service, our fleet results in a net cost of $4,666 per vehicle, per year. With a trade-in credit of $2,000 we actually end up paying approximately $2,666 per vehicle, per year. If we were to replace our vehicles each year, as most departments do, we would be paying approximately $8,000 per year, per vehicle. This system is working well, but we will continue to monitor use in an effort to reduce costs even further. Current Information Again, this year, I have involved myself in the bidding process of Ramsey County, Washington County, Hennepin County, the State of Minnesota, St. Paul and Minneapolis. Within these groups, the bids ranged from a high of $12,959 (Ford) to a low of $9,980 (Dodge). The lowest bids received were: Ford Brookdale Ford $10,792 Plymouth Roseville Chrysler -Plymouth $11,028 Dodge White Bear Dodge $ 9,980 Recommendation The officers have been pleased with the Dodge vehicles we use and their performance has been very good. I recommend that the Council approve the purchase of three (3) 1984 Dodge Diplomats from White Bear Dodge per the Washington County bid of $9,980 each or $29,940 total. This is approximately $2,460 less than the amount budgeted. CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS MEMO January 11, 1984 TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Orvil J. Johnson City Administrator SUBJECT: Treasurer/Financial Advisor Compensation Larry Shaughnessy was appointed City Treasurer/Financial Advisor in January, 1979. At that time his compensation was established at $20 per hour. It was determined that, for purposes of compensation, he would be treated as a consultant rather than as a permanent, part-time employee. He has not received the typical benefits, such as vacation, sick leave, and health insurance, enjoyed by other City employees, nor has the City been liable for PERA and FICA contributions. He does not receive a monthly retainer nor has he automatically increased his hourly rate as have the legal and planning consultants. While Larry had not requested any compen- sation change for the past five years, he has recently indicated that per- haps an adjustment is warranted for 1984. Your consideration of an increase is requested. An analysis of.the City's consultant rates and non-union personnel compensation and insurance contribution increases from 1979 through 1983, exclusive of recent retro- active increases, has been prepared. The compounded compensation increases for personnel over the period averages .44.0%. With the inclusion of health insurance contribution increases, the average for the period is 47.9%. A 5% compensation increase has been approved for 1984 for non-union employees. Consultant hourly rate increases surpass the average staff increases for the f ive year period. On the basis of the results of the analysis, it appears that a compen- sation increase for the City Treasurer/Financial Advisor to $30 per hour for 1984 would be appropriate. The percentage increase is somewhat less than the average for staff for the five year period plus 1984, and considerably less than the hourly rate charged by the City Attorney or Planning Consultant, who also receive retainers. The proposed rate is satisfactory to Larry and is affordable within the General Fund, Enterprise Fund and "other fund" budgets. A portion of his compensation will also, as has been the practice, be charged against the Consolidated Debt Fund and Improvement Funds, to reflect his hours spent administering those funds. We recommend that an hourly rate of $30.00 be established for the Treasurer/ Financial Advisor for 1984.

Frazell as the new City Administrator, to take office upon the resignation of Orvil Johnson; and WHEREAS, for the purpose of a smooth transition, Kevin Frazell began employment with the City on October 31, 1983, to provide a four month orientation and training period; and WHEREAS, the adopted 1984 Administrative budget allocates a full gAnual• salary for Kevin Frazell and two and one-half months of salary through March 10, 1984, for Orvil Johnson; and WHEREAS, the City Council has now determined that the City would be better served by having Orvil Johnson resign as City Administrator on February 3, 1984, using the remainder of the funds allocated for his salary to retain him as a part-time Special Projects Assistant through July 6, 1984. NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Mendota Heights: 1. The effective date of the resignation of Orvil J.

Lockwood, Mayor Ln t 3 CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS MEMO January 11, 1984 TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Kevin D. Frazell City Administrator Designee SUBJECT: Request of the Parks and Recreation Commission for a Joint Meeting with the Council At its meeting of January 10, the Parks and Recreation Commission indicated that it would like to hold a joint study session with the City Council. The Commission has begun some serious deliberations about the development of the bike trail system within the City, and has become aware of some potential grant monies that might be available through the Minnesota Department of Transportation. Therefore, the Commission would like to discuss with the Council the general direction for development of bike trails in the City, and the possible grant application. The Commission has suggested two possibilities for the meetings. The first, and their preferred, is Tuesday, January 24, at 8:00 P.M. If this is not convenient for Council, they have suggested an alter- native of Thursday, January 26, at 5:00 or 5:30 P.M. If a meeting that early would not be possible, they could meet later in the evening, although at least one.member of the commission would not be able to attend. ACTION REQUIRED If Council wishes to grant the request for a joint meeting with the Parks and Recreation Commission, it should agree on a date and time. Respectfully ubmitted, Kevin D. Frazell City Administrator Designee CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS MEMO January 9, 1984 TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Kevin D. Frazell City Administrator Designee SUBJECT: Fire Department INTRODUCTION Prior to the January 3rd meeting, Council held a brief informational meeting to discuss problems that had developed in the Fire Department, par- ticularly with regard to the positions of Chief and Assistant Chief. At that meeting, Council indicated its preferred course of action to resolve the problem, both on a short and long-term basis. The purpose of this memo is to outline a strategy and timeline for achieving the Council's goals. TRANSITION OF OFFICERS Following the Council session, City Administrator Orvil Johnson and I met with Chief Noack to discuss the Council's concern with departmental operations, and a timeline for what needed to be done over the next several months. During that meeting, it was agreed that: 1. Assistant Chief Gene Lange would resign as Assistant Chief, and as Firefighter. 2. However, Gene would continue as Fire Marshall, and would be designated as project manager for construction of the new fire station. In both capacities, Gene would report directly to the City Administrator, and should problems arise between Gene and the Chief, they would be brought to the City Administrator for resolution. 3. The Council and City Administrator would begin the process of recruiting and selecting a new Assistant Fire Chief from within the ranks of the department. This would be done through an open application and evaluation process. 4. Assuming a new Assistant Chief can be selected by approximately May 1, he will start a five month training period under the current Chief, who will submit a letter of resignation simultaneous with the appointment, with said resignation to have a date definite, presumably around September 30. 5. Upon resignation of the current Chief, the Assistant Chief will be appointed by the Council as Chief. During the interview process, the Council will also identify a second candidate to be appointed as Assist - and Chief on the transition date. - 2 - ORGANIZATIONAL DOCUMENTS In reviewing the Fire Department situation, it appeared to me that there are discrepancies between the City ordinance, under which the department operates, and the by-laws of the department. Also, I feel .there is language in the enabling ordinance that is not as clear as itmight be, and is at odds with the Council goal of having the Fire department function as a fully integ- rated part of the City. I am recommending that after a new Assistant Chief (Chief "designee") is selected, a committee be convened by Council to thoroughly review Ordinance No. 101, which creates the Fire department, and other organizational and procedural documents. Such a committee should consist of representatives of both the Fire department and the City administration. The committee would then make its report back to the Council by late summer, in time for adoption of any necessary amendments prior to the new Chief taking over in October. One of the issues that would undoubtedly come up during the review would be the method of selecting Captains. Any change in procedures adopted in mid - to late summer would allow time for the selection of next year's Captains, prior to the beginning of the usual term in October. TIMETABLE Attached is a proposed "tentative" timeline for accomplishing the selection of new officers and the revision of organizational documents. I say tentative because any project that stretches over nine months will obviously have to be on a flexible schedule. REVIEW WITH THE FIRE DEPARTMENT Assuming the Council approves this, or an amended strategy at the January 17 meeting, I plan to meet with the department at their January 18 business meet- ing to explain the process and timeline we will be following. I think that when people know what is going to happen, as well as when, it helps to reduce any uncertainties or anxieties. ACTION REQUIRED While no formal action is required, Council should review the procedures and timeline proposed in this memo and the attachment, indicating any changes it may desire. Respectfully ubmitted, Kevin D. Frazell City Administrator Designee February 7 March 2 J FIRE DEPARTMENT OFFICER SELECTION AND DOCUMENT AMENDMENT PROPOSED TIMETABLE - Council considers and approves job descriptions for the position of Chief and Assistant Chief, stipulates method of application, and calls for receipt of applications. - Deadline for applications.

Frazell City Administrator Designee SUBJECT: Request for Workshop During my lunch visits with each one of you, I mentioned the possibility of a goal setting workshop shortly after the first of the year. With a fifth Tuesday this month, and the changeover in City Administrators coming a month early, Tuesday, January 31st would appear to be a logical date. If that date doesn't work for everyone, we could consider an alternative in late January or early February. Based on my observations during the past couple of months and my conver- sations with you, I would suggest the following topics for the workshop: 1. Review of the financial state of the City -- individual fund analysis and comparative tax rates. 2. Issues regarding the transition of City Administrators -- where we've been and where we're going. 3. Target issues, goals, and objectives. a. Review issues identified with Lyle Sumek, deleting those completed, adding new ones, and re -prioritizing. b. Develop outline of Council/staff work program for the year. 4. Discuss Council meeting procedures and agenda structure. Obviously, this is a lot to cover, and Council may identify some other topics it wishes to cover. Consequently, I am suggesting that we try to begin as early as possible, perhaps `��—R.M4. 7 ,-- ACTION REQUIRED If Council concurs with the need for the proposed workshop, it should establish a date and time, and indicate any desired deletions from or additions to the agenda proposed above. Respectfully submitted, Kevin D. Frazell City Administrator Designee CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS MEMO January 11, 1984 TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Larry Shaughnessy & Chuck Mertensotto SUBJECT: Airport Land On January 5, 1984, the Airport Joint Zoning Board approved the Ordinance amendment proposed by the City of Mendota Heights to apply the "Density Transfer" concept to the "B" Zone lands in our City. The amend- ment had been approved by Mn/DOT, and will now be incorporated into the final Ordinance to be adopted January 18, by the Joint Zoning Board. The bottom line of this amendment will permit density development within the B Zone to be controlled by the City Zoning Ordinance, rather than the restricted use of the normal B Zone. Some number of employee limits could still apply, but it does not appear significant. The change also satisf ie,� the problems associated with the Country Club property. The "C" Zone, or vertical restrictions, will still apply. However, these were not an issue for concern and should have a minimum application. NOTICE OF HEARING Notice is hereby given that a hearing will be held for the purpose of con- sidering the adoption of an Airport Zoning Ordinance for the area surrounding the Minneapolis -St. Paul International Airport (Wold -Chamberlain Field). The public,hearing will be held at 7:30 p.m., Wednesday, January 18, 1984 at the Nokomis Community Center, 2401 East Minnehaha Parkway in Minneapolis. The proposed Ordinance and the official maps are available for public inspec- tion at the City Offices for Eagan, Mendota, Mendota Heights, Bloomington, Richfield, St. Paul and Minneapolis during regular business hours. They are also available at the following Public Libraries: Dakota County Library in Eagan, Minneapolis Public Library, Augsburg Park Library of Richfield, Oxbow Library of Bloomington, Penn Lake Library of Bloomington, Nokomis Community Library, St. Paul Public Library, and Highland Park Branch Library. The property affected by the proposed Airport Zoning Ordinance is some, but not all, of the land lying within 14,000 feet bf the airport's runways. The types of restrictions proposed for each area are set forth in detail in the proposed Ordinance and maps. The precise restrictions which would be imposed vary, depending on the location of the property. The restrictions generally regulate the height of structures, the location or size, and use of buildings and the density of pop- ulation. The Ordinance is designed to prevent the development of new buildings or structures which would be hazardous to people on the ground or in the air. In writing the Ordinance, the Board was responsible for applying the State's standards for airport safety to the area surrounding the Minneapolis- St. Paul International Airport. The Ordinance is designed to prevent new development from becoming a safety hazard. The point Zoning Board does not anticipate that any existing land uses will be affected by the Ordinance. The residential areas in South Minneapolis and Richfield have been grandfathered into the proposed ordinance as conforming uses and are identified as being in "Established Residential Neighborhoods." No home is in danger of being acquired or removed because of - this ordinance. The proposed Ordinance only addresses airport safety issues. It is not a noise Ordinance and is not a part of the noise guidelines being developed by the Metropolitan Council. The following individuals are familiar with the Ordinance and can answer your questions: Larry Lee, Bloomington City Hall, 881-5811 Dale Runkle, Eagan City Hall, 454-8100 Dale Pollock, Minneapolis City Hall, 348-6531 Rick Jopke, Richfield City Hall, 869-7521 Rick Wiederhorn, St. Paul City Hall, 292-1577 Sohn Voss, Dakota County Commissioner, 890-2320 Larry Shaughnessy, Mendota Heights Treasurer, 452-1850
