FROM: Tom Olund
Public Works Superintendent
SUBJECT: Purchase of 1992 Cushman (4) Wheel Turf Truckster
and Groomer
DISCUSSION•
The 1992 Parks Department budget included $15,000 for the
purchase of a Cushman (4) Wheel Turf Truckster and Groomer. This
vehicle is a small versatile two person vehicle which can be used
to haul approxima.tely 1,600 pounds of equipment, ma.terial, etc and
includes several attachments for grooming ball diamond infields,
spreading fertilizers, applying liquid products etc. I have
obtained three quotes and they are as follows:
Cushman Motor Company, Inc. $12,539
Horst Distributing, Inc. 14,060
Reinders Turf Equipment 14,624
RECONIl�SENDATION •
I recommend that Council award a purchase order to Cushman
Motor Company, Inc. for a Cushman (4) Wheel Turf Truckster and
Groomer.
ACTION REQIIIRED-
If Council concurs with the recommendation they should pass a
motion authorizing the preparation of a purchase order to Cushman
Motor Company, Inc. for their low bid of $12,539.

FROM: Lawrence E. Shaughnessy, Jr., Treasurer �/ '
SUBJECT: Recommended Increase for City Mileage Reimbursement Rate
The City policy is currently to reimburse 27.5 cents per mile
for use of a personal vehicle on City business. We understand that
the Internal Revenue Service has now increased the allowable
reimbursement to 28�cents per mile, and are recommending that the
City of Mendota Heights go to that level.
There is actually very little use of personal vehicles for
City business. The primary users are engineering technicians, with
the costs being charged back to the projects.
ACTION REQIIIRED
If Council concurs with my recommendation, it should pass a
motion increasing the City's mileage reimbursement rate to 28 cents
per mile.

that the Zoning Administrator will determine
whether there have been material changes from
the preliminary plat and changing the word
"may" to shall in the first sentence of the
section.
Council acknowledged and discussed a report
from the City Administrator regarding Dakota
County legislative policies for 1992.
Mayor Mertensotto stated that the regional
airport policy is contrary to the City's
position on aircraft noise. He pointed out
that since the City has recently asked the FAA
and MAC for equitable distribution of air
noise it could not now support section one of
the policy recommendation.
After discussion, Councilmember Cummins moved
to adopt Resolution No. 92-07, "A RESOLUTION
SUPPORTING 1992 LEGISLATIVE POLICIES ON ISSUES
WHICH MAY AFFECT DAKOTA COUNTY," to support
all of the policies except the regional
airport policy, and to direct staff to attempt
to amend paragraph one of the airport
statement to remove the word "possible" from
the first sentence and delete the second
sentence or to oppose adoption of the policy
statement if it is not amended.
Councilmember Smith seconded the motion.
KENSINGTON PARK Park Commission Chair John Huber and Parks
Project Manager Guy Kullander were present to
review the Kensington Park concept design and
to recommend preparation of final plans and
specifications.
Mr. Huber informed Council on discussions with
Centex regarding acquisition of land and with
NSP regarding burying, moving or raising the
overhead power lines. He stated that the Park
Commission felt that purchasing land from
Centex is not a good solution to the soccer
field problem and that the asking price of
$35,000 is too great for the 23 foot wide
strip of land. The options of burying the
power cables or purchasing a lot from Centex
were very expensive, and it was the
Commission's opinion that the most prudent
option is to budget funds to raise the power
lines in the future if it is determined that
the power lines impede use of the field.
Page No. 3206
January 21, 1992
Mayor Mertensotto asked whether the second
field can be moved further to the east if the
NSP lines are raised in the future. Mr.
Kullander responded that it can be moved at
minimal cost.
Mr. Kullander reviewed the proposed design for
the comfort station. Mayor Mertensotto felt
that there would be little utility in the
_ small shelters, pointing out that they have no
overhang.
It was the consensus that the shelters should
have overhangs similar to the buildings in the
Mendakota and Sibley parks.
Councilmember Smith felt that the child play
area may be too close to the parking lot. Mr.
Kullander responded that the proposed location
is the only place the area would fit in the
scheme of the park. He explained that berms
and landscaping proposed to be provided
between the play area and parking lot will
provide an obstruction between the areas.
It was the consensus that the play equipment
should be placed in the center of the play
area.
Councilmember Blesener expressed concern over
crea�ing a niche on the side of the comfort
station for vending machines. She felt that
the niche should be eliminated to provide more
room inside the building for storage.
Mr. Huber responded that the niche will
mitigate the potential vandalism problem.
Councilmember Cummins pointed out that the
city has no liability with respect to damage
to vending machines, and felt that vending
machines would be well-used.
There was discussion over dutch doors versus a
roll down shutter in the concession/storage
area.
Mr. Kullander briefly reviewed the status of
the referendum funds for Council. Responding
to a question from Councilmember Smith as to
whether funds have been set aside for north
Kensington park, Mr. Huber stated that the
Commission consensus is to leave the park
largely undeveloped until the community fills
Page No. 3207
January 21, 1992
in around it. He stated that whether enough
funding will be available will depend on what
is done to the park. He informed Council that
current thinking does not envision massive
future improvement to the park - there is lots
of intensity in the area and a quiet, passive
space seems to be what is needed.
After discussion, Councilmember Cummins moved
to direct Station 19 Architects to prepare
final plans for the three South Kensington
Park structures including the vending alcove
on the Comfort Station, replacing the dutch
doors with a fold down door, and reversing the
building plan to put the vending area on the
north side of the comfort station, and
providing overhangs on the two shelter
buildings.
Councilmember Smith seconded the motion.
Ayes: 5
Nays: 0
Councilmember Blesener moved to direct Station
19 Architects to prepare final plans and
specifications for south and north Kensington
Parks as recommended by the Park Commission
and to direct that $25,000 of bond proceeds be
reserved for raising the NSP power line in the
future.
Councilmember Smith seconded the motion.
Ayes: 5
Nays: 0
AIR NOISE MITIGATION Council acknowledged a report from
PART 150 PROGRAM Administrator Lawell regarding the Air Noise
Mitigation Part 150 Program. Mr. Steve
Vecchi, from the MAC, manager of the Part 150
Program, and Mr. Sheldon Strom, consultant for
the sound insulation program were present for
the discussion.
Mr. Vecchi informed Council and the audience
that MAC has been involved in the design
process for the program for a year and has
involved the noise affected cities in the
decision making process by forming a Policy
Advisory Committee (PAC), consisting of
representatives of Mendota Heights, Eagan,
Richfield, Minneapolis and Bloomington. He
explained that distribution of the funds is
based on the FAA's five-year projected noise
contour which is a 24 hour per day annual
average. He then described the sound
insulation program, purchase guarantee program
and land acquisition program. He informed
Page No. 3208
January 21, 1992
Council that 80% of the annual funding comes
from the FAA and 20% from the MAC. The MAC
must compete with other cities in its region
for 14 to 18� of the annual $190 million FAA
"pot." Northwest Airlines will pay most of
what the MAC will contribute.
Responding to a question from Mayor
Mertensotto, Mr. Vecchi stated that the use of
money derived from the airline ticket tax is
currently in a decision making process and
that he does not know how much of that money
will be annually dedicated to the Part 150
program.
Mayor Mertensotto asked whether the City has
an option to adopt one option one year and
another the next year. He also asked if the
Mendota Heights allocation for 1992 is only
$227,600 out of the $4 million original Part
150 allocation.
Mr. Vecchi stated that $227,600 is correct and
that the PAC decided the allocation. He
explained that the allocation formula decision
by the PAC was unanimous except for Mendota
Heights and Eagan. Mr. Vecchi explained that
a system has been designed whereby communities
can bank their allocation one year for use in
another, and reviewed the sample documentation
which depicted a system showed what would
happen to the Mendota Heights 1992 allocation
if it chooses to defer it for use in the
future. He informed Council that the only
drawback to the system would be if there were
no FAA funding in the year subsequent to the
deferral. Representatives of cities receiving
allocations deferred (by other cities) would
have to sign a memo of understanding
stipulating that at the time a city would like
to spend its deferred monies the deferred
amount would be subtracted from the recipient
city's annual allocation.
Mayor Mertensotto asked how many homes in
Mendota Heights are within the LDN 65 contour.
Administrator Lawell responded that there are
about 620 people in the contour, which
includes the Lexington Heights apartment
complex, all of the Furlong Addition, six
homes on Pilot Knob some on Lexington Avenue
near Wagon Wheel, and some on Rogers Road.
Page No. 3209
January 21, 1992
Councilmember Blesener asked if the
distribution formula is fixed or if there is
potential for change if one community needs
more money because of acquisition and another
needs less because it is doing allocation.
Mr. Vecchi responded that the PAC came up with
the formula and intends it to be a hard and
fast policy. He indicated however, that it
may be possible to revisit the matter in the
future after the program is implemented and
its effectiveness can be evaluated.
Responding to a question from Councilmember
Smith regarding the purchase guarantee
program, Mr. Vecchi stated that it is theory
at this point but he believes it is generally
intended that a home owner could participate
only after the city agrees to the program. An
appraisal would be done to determine fair
market value and after a specified period of
time that the home would be on the market, the
owner would be guaranteed the fair market
price. If the home did not sell, the MAC
would hold title to the property until someone
subsequently purchased it. He cautioned that
there would have to be a limit of five or six
homes at a time, and that the PAC recommended
that this be done on a house by house basis
rather than program by program.
Councilmember Smith asked whether sound
insulation affects the marketability of the
homes. Mr. Strom responded that in general
people in other areas have been very pleased
with the insulation program, which includes
installation of air conditioning, and many
feel it makes their homes more valuable to
some extent.
Councilmember Smith asked if it would be
possible for MAC and the City to work out an
appropriate use for acquired properties, for
instance for park purposes. Mr. Vecchi
responded that it is his intention that if the
acquisition program were used, MAC and the
City would work closely together and if the
city wanted to acquire a parcel, it could buy
the property back from the MAC. He pointed
out that any money from the sale of a property
would go back into the Part 150 pool, and
stated that he would like the policy to be
that the money would go back into the city's
allocation.
Page No. 3210
January 21, 1992
Mayor Mertensotto pointed out that the LDN
contour does not reflect homes in Mendota
Heights which are substantially in excess of
LDN 65 many hours during the day. He stated
that no other airport has a cone-shaped 15
degree corridor and while funding based on the
FAA's LDN contour may work on the west side of
the river, it will not be effective for
Mendota Heights. He stated that the MAC does
not recognize that an allocation formula based
on population within LDN 65 will only satisfy
cities west of the river and does nothing for
Mendota Heights. He felt that both the
allocation formula and the use of the LDN 65
contour are inappropriate.
Councilmember Cummins asked if LDN 65 is a
federal mandate. Mr. Vecchi responded that
the contour is limiting to all of the cities
but it is the contour that the FAA uses to
determine eligibility for the program. He
stated that the MAC knows that some cities
will ask for the acquisition program and that
MAC might deal with acquisition differently.
There may be other monies available in the
future, such as the passenger facility charge,
which will not be subject to the Part 150
distribution formula. He stated that he does
not argue that Mendota Heights gets
overflights more of the time.
Mayor Mertensotto stated that if the guideline
were any home subjected to 85 decibels, there
would be a ton� of houses in Mendota Heights
that would be affected by the program, yet
Mendota Heights is being asked to endorse the
program based on the LDN contour.
Councilmember Blesener asked if there is any
potential for a land acquisition program where
the city could use the land for park purposes
in the interim (between MAC purchase and
resale) or for long term use.
Mr. Vecchi responded that he will look into
the suggestion, but the FAA does not want the
acquired land used for residential or multi-
family use again.
Mayor Mertensotto asked for questions and
comments from the audience.
Page No. 3211
January 21, 1992
Responding to a question from Mr. Joe Maegher,
Mr. Vecchi stated that the LDN model is
constantly changing to make sure it will
always be current. He suggested that Council
might wish to invite the head of the MAC noise
monitoring program to a future meeting.
Mr. Vecchi informed Council that he has until
April to finish the design of the program and
that he asks all of the cities to give MAC its
priorities by January 29th if possible.
Councilmember Blesener asked if anyone has
considered how the fanned corridor during peak
hours will affect the city's distribution and
also the north end of the runway. Mr. Vecchi
responded that all of the information would be
inputted into the computer model and would be
readjusted to the new flight tracks as
operational changes occur.
Administrator Lawell stated that one of the
things staff has asked the MAC to do is to
give the city the inputs that have gone into
the computer model that determined the LDN 65
contour.
Councilmember Blesener asked why the program
doesn't start with people within LDN 75, then
70 and then 65 when the money is allocated.
Mr. Strom responded that this was discussed by
the PAC but some cities would receive nothing
and some got everything. The PAC felt it was
easiest to use the 65 LDN. He stated that any
city can go back to the PAC at any time if it
wishes to revisit the allocation formula.
Councilmember Cummins stated that what Mendota
Heights is being asked to do is to make a
commitment on what the city will do with its
share of the $4 million from the FAA. He did
not think the City has the vote to change the
allocation formula. He felt Council should
recognize that the city has $227,000 to work
with this year and decide if something will be
done with the money or whether it should be
banked. If the money were banked in 1992
there would be $455,000 available in 1993,
which would be enough to do the insulation on
all of the homes in the Furlong Addition. He
suggested Council focus in on what to do with
the money that has been allocated.
�
Page No. 3212
January 21, 1992
Mayor Mertensotto stated that the city is
better off accepting the money that is
available instead of banking it because the
city doesn't control the flow of money in the
future - there may be 35 to 40 homes that
would qualify for sound insulation.
Councilmember Blesener asked if it is the
feeling of the neighborhood that the money
should be spent for insulation or a long term
buy-out program. She asked if the home-owners
wish to try to preserve the Furlong
neighborhood. She felt the primary question
is whether the neighborhood should stay or be
bought out.
One resident suggested the city survey the
Furlong neighborhood on what to due with the
money.
Mr. Bernie Biessener suggested that the city
take the 1992 funding and do the insulation
program.
Mayor Mertensotto suggested that the city look
at the land acquisition program.
Councilmember Cummins stated that if indeed
the city is to go into the land acquisition
process, it should not buy two or three homes
a year, in which case it is possible that no
acquisition would occur for five years or
more. He asked what would happen if the Part
150 program loses federal funding by then. He
felt that Council should look at the
insulation program, which could be done
quickly. He asked that staff get as much
information as possible on the house count
within LDN 65 as well as the minutes of the
PAC meetings for discussion by Council on
February 4th.
Councilmember Blesener asked if the city can
do a hybrid of all three options - if the city
can manipulate all of the programs and move
towards ultimate acquisition.
Mr. Vecchi responded that money cannot be used
for insulation of a property and then for
acquisition later.
Mr. Biessener asked if the city is in charge
of land acquisition, including use of TIF
funds, and if so whether relocation money
would be included. Councilmember Blesener
Page No. 3213
January 21, 1992
responded that relocation money is available
through the MAC plan.
Mayor Mertensotto stated that the city could
not be involved in an acquisition program
using TIF unless someone submits a development
proposal for the land.
PAY EQUITY REPORT Council acknowledged and discussed a report
from the City Administrator regarding
submission of the City's Pay Equity
Implementation Report to the Minnesota
Department of Employee Relations.
After discussion, Councilmember Cummins moved
to approve the Pay Equity Implementation
Report for submission to the Minnesota
Department of Employee Relations.
Councilmember Smith seconded the motion.

CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS
MEMO
January 27, 1992
TO: Mayor, City Council, City Adminis r
FROM: Kathleen M. Swanson
City Clerk
SUBJECT: Tax Forfeit Property
INFORMATION
We have recently received the annual notification of tax
forfeited lands from the County Auditor's Office. One parcel has
been forfeited. Council must either classify the parcel for sale
or request its transfer to the city.
DISCUSSION
The forfeited parcel, located adjacent to Roger's Lake Park,
is entirely under water. Originally platted as part of the lots
on which the Lexington Heights Apartments have been built, the
subject lot was severed from the developable portion of the
property when Mn/DOT acquired right-of-way for I-35E. At the
time of the acquisition, all assessments against the original
parcel were transferred to the Lexington Heights Addition. There
are no assessments outstanding against the forfeited lot. Since
the forfeited lot is not developable, it will not be returned to
the tax rolls. Its acquisition by the City for expansion of the
total area of Roger's Lake Park is the only reasonable use for
the parcel.
RECOMMENDATION
I recommend that Council classify the tax forfeited parcel
as conservation land and request that the property be transferred
to city ownership.
ACTION REOUIRED
If Council concurs in the recommendation, it should pass a
motion to classify tax forfeited parcel 27-03500-011-27 as
conservation land and direct staff to request the appropriate
forms for transfer of the parcel to city ownership.

T0: Mayor, City Council and City Administrator
FROM: Tom Olund
Public Works Superintendent
SUBJECT: Purchase of 1992 Cushman (4) Wheel Turf Truckster
� and Groomer
DISCUSSION•
The 1992 Parks Department budget included $15,000 for the
purchase of a Cushman (4) Wheel Turf Truckster and Groomer. This
vehicle is a small versatile two person vehicle which can be used
to haul approximately 1,600 pounds of equipment, ma.terial, etc and
includes several attachments for grooming ball diamond infields,
spreading fertilizers, applying liquid products etc. I have
obtained three quotes and they are as follows:
Cushman Motor Company, Inc. $12,539
Horst Distributing, Inc. 14,060
Reinders Turf Equipment 14,624
RECONII�lENDATION -
I recommend that Council award a purchase order to Cushman
Motor Company, Inc. for a Cushman (4) Wheel Turf Truckster and
Groomer.
ACTION REQIIIRED-
If Council concurs with the recommendation they should pass a
motion authorizing the preparation of a purchase order to Cushman
Motor Company, Inc. for their low bid of $12,539.

January 28, 1992
TO: Mayor, City Council and City Adminis
FROM: James E. Daniel
Public Works
SUBJECT: The Wetland servation Act of 1991
INTRODIICTION•
The State of Minnesota passed a Wetland Conservation Act in
1991 that requires municipalities to designate a Local Government
Unit (LGU) to administer the provisions of the act (see
attached).
DISCIISSION•
Mendota Heights is located within three watershed ma.nagement
organizations (WMOs); 1) Gun Club Lake WMO which encompasses most
of Eagan, parts of Inver Grove Heights and the Industrial Park
area of Mendota Heights; 2) Lower Mississippi River WMO which
includes West St. Paul, Inver Grove Heights, South St. Paul,
Lilydale, St. Paul, Sunfish Lake and most of the residential
areas of Mendota Heights and; 3) Lower Minnesota River Watershed
District which includes five (5) counties along the Minnesota
River and the area of Mendota Heights that drains through the
City of Mendota.
The Gun Club Lake and Lower Mississippi River organizations
have both considered whether they desire to perform the duties of
LGU and because these organizations do not have full-time staff,
together with other reasons, decided to defer to the cities on
administration of the Wetland Conservation Act. The Lower Minne-
sota River Watershed District has decided to be an LGU in its
area.
Eagan, which also has a portion of its boundary within the
Lower Minnesota River Watershed District has decided to designate
itself to be the LGU for their entire City which means there will
be two (2) LGUs for the area within the Lower Minnesota River
Watershed District area.
The main duty of the LGU as I now understand it, will be to
administrate applications for filling or altering any wetlands.
The State is conducting an LGU training course in February which
I have registered to attend, after which I should know more about
the requirements.
I recommend that the City of Mendota Heights designate
itself as the Local Goverment Unit (LGU) responsible for adminis-
tering the provisions of the 1991 Wetlands Conservation Act for
the entire City. This will mean that there will be two LGUs for
applicants within the Lower Minnesota River Watershed District
area.
ACTION REQIIIRED•
If Council desires to implement the recommendation they
should pass a motion adopting Resolution No. 92- , A RESOLII-
TION Dl35IGNATING THE CITY OF MENDOTA HLIGHTS AS THE LOCAL GOVERN-
MENT UNIT (LGII) FOR ADMINISTERING THFs WLTLAND CONSERVATION ACT OF
1991.

A RESOLIITION DESIGNATING THE CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS
AS THis LOCAL GOVERNMENT UNIT (LGII) FOR ADMINISTLRING THE WETL1�fi�TD
CONSERVATION ACT OF 1991
WSEREAS, Local Government Units (LGUs) must decide which LGU

tion Act of 1991; and
�1HEREAS, all neighboring communities to Mendota Heights are
designating themselves as LGUs and the Gun Club Lake Watershed
Management Organization and Lower Mississippi River Watershed
Ma.nagement Organization feel that the LGUs should be at the City
level.
NO� THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City
of Mendota Heights that Mendota Heights designates itself to be
the Local Government Unit responsible for administering the
provisions of the Wetland Conservation Act of 1991.
Adopted by the City Council of the City of Mendota Heights this
4th day of February, 1992.

CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS

J
;. The Wetland Conservation Act of 1991: the
interim Program
The Mlnnesota Boarc/ of Water and Soll Resources (BWSR) ls the scete adminlstrative agency for the WeUend Conserva-
tlon Act of 1991. Because we heve recelved so many questlons regerding the ect, errd �e lnierlm program beginning Jan.
1, 1992, the BWSR Js malling this documer�t tq meny of the organhedons end peop/e affected by the act. Arry further ques-
tlons can be dlrected to the BWSR, 612-296-3767, or 1-800-652-9747. �
The regulatory provisions of the Wetland Conservation Act take place in two phases. The first
phase is an interim program prohibiting wetland afteration that begins Jan. 1,1992, and lasts through
July 1,1993. After July 1� 1993, a permanent pragram begins. The programs provide exemptions and
aiso allow landowners to "replace" wetiands through an approved replacement plan.
So what exactly does the Wetland Conservation Act mean for local govemments and landowners?
And when do their responsibilities begin?
Between now and Jan. 1, 1992...
• Local government units (LGUs) must decide which LGU will administer the interim provisions of the
act. (BWSR is available to facilitate this discussion between LGUs.) Although soil and water
conservation districts (SWCDs) or any LGU with permitting authority can administer the interim
provisions, the permanent program is more restrictive: only counties and cities can administer the
permanent program in Greater Minnesota, and only cities, tovmships and water management
organizations can administer the permanent program in the Metro Area. It seems logical to consider
giving responsibility for the interim program to the LGU that will uttimately administer the permanent
program.
• The designated LGU should notify the BWSR that they have accepted responsibility for administering
the act. If no LGU takes responsibility for the program, landowners with nonexempt wetlands will
be prohibited from altering them. Moreover, since the BWSR will not assume local administration of
the program, landowners will have no one to determine exemptions or approve replacement plans.
•The BWSR will develop administrative guidelines for the iriterim program. After Nov. 11, 1991, a
copy of the guidelines may be obtained from the BWSR (612-296-3767). The guidelines will be open
�to written comment until Dec. 6, 1991. The comments and adoption of the. guidelines will be
considered at the Dec. 18, 1991, meeting of the BWSR.
After Jan. 1,1992...
• After consultation with the Wetland Heritage Advisory Committee (a nine-member committee
consisting of the commissioners of agriculture and natural resources� and seven others appointed
by the governor), rule making for the permanent program will begin. .•
• The BWSR will provide training to LGUs conceming the interim program.
• The BWSR and LGUs will work together to let landowners know that they must get approval from
the LGU before altering a wetland. �
• The LGU must decide 'rf a wetland activity is exempt; 'rf it is, the LGU might want to consider issuing
a°certficate of exemption." Although this certficate is not required, it will help the landowner quickly
explain the wetland's status to enforcement officials.
�
� The commissioner of the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) is responsible for enforcement
of the act. Atthough conservation officers are primarily responsible for this enforcement, other peace
officers will assist the DNR. �
• Exemptions include:
= the proposed activity is in a wetland subject to federal farm program Swampbuster� require-
ments; .
� the wetland has a cropping history or was in `set aside" six of 10 years prior to Jan. 1, 1991;
• the activity is in a wetland that was enrolled in the federal Conservation Reserve Program, was
cropped six out of 10 years prior to enrollment, and has not been restored with public or private
assistance; .
• the activity is in a wetland that has received a commenced determination by the Agricultural
Stabilization and Conservation Service (ASCS); �
• the activity is in a type 1 wetland on agricuttural land, except for bottomland hardwood type 1
wetlands; �
� the activity is in a type 2 wetland that is two acres or less located on agricuttural land;
� the activ'�ty is in a wetfand created solely as a resuft of beaver dam construction, or blockage
of culverts through public or private roads; �
= the activ'ity is necessary to repair and maintain public or private drainage systems, as long as
wetlands that have been in existence for more than 20 years are not drained;
• the activity is related to devAlopmAnt �r�jAc;ts and ditch (mprovement praJAct4 that havA
recelved et least prellminary epproval wltf�ln flve years before Aug. 1. 1991;
� certain activities related to Corp. of Engineer permits, forest management, aquacufture, wild
rice production, and routine maintenance of highways, streets and utilities.
• Landowners proposing nonexempt activities have these options:
s The landowner and the LGU can agree that the landowner will replace the wetland within one
year of the effective date of the rules governing the permanent program and that the
replacement will abide by those n�les. (The rules will be effective about July 1,1993.)
= The landowner can replace the wetland acre for acre (at a 2:1 ratio for non-agricultural wetlands
and at a 1:1 ratio for agricuftural weUands) and type for type before or during the wetland activity.
= If the replacement is required by a permitting authority other than the LGU, the LGU may defer
to that replacement plan, providing that the replacement r•equirements are at least 1:1 (ag) and
2:1 (non-ag).
• The LGU must establish a technical evaluation panel. The panel is responsible for making wetland
delineations, resolving questions concerning exemptions and providing guidance on replacement
plans. The LGU approves the replacement plans. By statute, this penel consists of a professional
employee of the SWCD, a BWSR employee and an engineer from the LGU. (The panelists may add
other members from the public or private sectors to provide edditional expertise.)
• The legislature appropriated funds to SWCDs to serve as an information clearinghouse about the
act and to provide training to local officials.

MEMO
February 4, 1992
T0: Mayor, City Council and City Administr
FROM: Lawrence E. Shaughnessy, Jr., Treasurer �'% '
SUBJECT: Recommended Increase for City Mileage Reimbursement Rate
The City policy is currently to reimburse 27.5 cents per mile
for use of a personal vehicle on City business. We understand that
the Internal Re�enue Service has now increased the allowable
reimbursement to 28�cents per mile, and are recommending that the
City of Mendota Heights go to that level.
There is actually very little use of personal vehicles for
City business. The primary users are engineering technicians, with
the costs being charged back to the projects.
ACTION REQIIIRED
If Council concurs with my recommendation, it should pass a
motion increasing the City's mileage reimbursement rate to 28 cents
per mile.

Volunteers of America Week is scheduled for March 1-8, 1992 which
commemorates the founding af our organization on March 8, 1896. As one
of Minnesota's and the nation's largest human service organizations,
the Volunteers of America has been helping others for 96 years.
Through the years, Volunteers of America has demonstrated it is a
dynamic organization, able to keep up with the everchanging world
around it. Now more than ever, we recognize the constant need for
developing new and more creative ways to solve problems, meet community
needs; and improve the overall quality of life for all members of our
society.- We must continue forming partnerships, to bridge the gap
between social service needs and private sector social responsibility.
I hope you will recognize March 1-8, 1992 as Volunteers of America
Week and ask that you join us in celebrating our 96th year of service.
Your personal letter acknowledging our service to the people in the
Mendota Heights community w�.11 be appreciated.

As Council is aware, the LDN 65 Noise Metric is being proposed
by the Metropolitan Airports Commission (MAC) and the FAA as the
eligibility boundary for the Part 150 Program. The 1996 LDN
Contour reviewed at the last Council meeting includes the following
single family residential units. .

�
For purposes of notifying eligible residents of the Program,
MAC has been utilizing a mailing list which was purchased from a
commercial entity specializing in such lists. Upon examination,
our staff has found a number of errors in that mailing list,
including eleven eligible households who were not shown on the
initial list. These errors have now been corrected and mailed
notice of the February 4th Council meeting has been sent to all 65
affected properties (see attached letters).
Eligibilitv Map
; City Engineering staff has prepared the attached map which
shows the location of each single family home within the
eligibility boundaries.
Property Tax Considerations
� One of the concerns raised regarding the Property Acquisition
Program involves the loss of taxable value in the community should
a tax exempt entity hold title to the property over a number of
years. Based on 1990 Dakota County property records, there are a
total of 34 single family houses in the Furlong area bounded by
Highway 55 on the west, Victory Avenue on the north and Lake LeMa.y
on the east and south. In addition, there are eight separately
described vacant parcels in this area.
As of 1990, the total market value of property in the area was
$2,599,600. With respect to property tax implications, the tax
capacity attributable to this area was $39,033 in 1990. Expressed
another way, if the area were to be completely acquired by a tax
exempt entity, the total annual property tax loss to all taxing
districts in the County (City, County, School District, etc.) would
be approximately $39,000. Given that the City's share of each
property tax bill is roughly 19 percent, the City would stand to
lose approximately $7,400 in property tax revenue each year if the
�property were to go tax exempt.
Policy Advisory Committee Minutes
� The Council requested the MAC to provide the City copies of
the Part 150 PAC meeting minutes. The attached minutes were
received this week. It is worth noting that the members of the PAC
were not previously provided with copies of these minutes. I think
you will also find that the minutes are quite abbreviated in light
of the fact that each PAC meeting typically lasted three hours or
more.
j As noted in the last staff inemo on this subject, the procedure
;utilized in allocating the available Part 150 funds is basically
'unfair to Mendota Heights and Eagan. Our communities have the
ifewest individuals within the LDN 65 boundary, and the greatest
�concentration of aircraft overflights. Without question, the
'allocation formula is woefully inadequate to address the severity
'of our needs.
The question thus becomes, how do we go about revising the
funding allocation formula? As indicated by the MAC on January
21st, they have not yet finalized the specifics of the Part 150
process. The application being prepared must be approved by the
MAC's Planning and Environment Committee, and must be approved by
the full MAC Commission. Then, of course, the FAA will need to
finally approve the 1992 funding request.
If Council believes it practical
the City to comtinue its opposition to
are certainly avenues available to us.
DISCIISSION
and in the best interest of
the described formula, there
The MAC has asked the City to indicate how it intends to
utilize Part 150 funds allocated to it on an annual basis. The
programs available to us are again:
1. Sound Insulation Program
2. Purchase Assurance Program
3. Property Acquisition Program
The Council may use any one or more programs in various
combinations each year, and may select different combinations each
year, if desired.
The other four involved communities have all indicated they
will be primarily focusing on the Sound Insulation Program within
their Cities. Even the City of Richfield, which has long
maintained a need to acquire the New Ford Town and Rich Acres
residential areas, will be using their Part 150 funds to insulate
other affected homes. Instead, they intend to pursue with the MAC
other funds outside of the Part 150 Program to acquire New Ford
Town and Rich Acres.
Those Cities who are choosing sound insulation intend to
primarily use a lottery system to determine program eligibility.
In order to address the most impacted areas first, Minneapolis
intends to allocate a majority of their funds to those within the
LDN 70 Contour, and eligible homeowners will then be chosen by
lottery within that Contour. Bloomington intends to determine
program priority based on the physical distance each housing unit
lies from the southern end of Runway 4/22.
L. � r°�.
s
s
ACTION REOIIIRED
Council should discuss with those residents in attendance the
program options available to the City. Based on that input,
Council should address the following:
i
( 1. How should the three available programs be utilized within
; Mendota Heights?
2. What type of priority system will be utilized to choose
' the order of program eligibility?
� 3. Should the City consider the fund deferral option?
4. Should the City attempt to revise the fund allocation
formula described by the MAC?

Administration Part 150 Air Noise Mitigation Program. The meeting
will be held at Mendota Heights City Hall and this item is
scheduled to be heard at approximately 8:00 P.M.
Hopefully you were able to•attend the Council's January 21,
1992 meeting at which time a presentation on this subj ect was given
by the Metropolitan Airports Commission. At that meeting,
approximately 15 out of 64 eligible households were represented.
Based on the comments received that evening, the Council asked for
additional information on the specific number and location of all
eligible homes. This information will be available at the February
4th meeting.
Given the importance of this issue to you and your neighbors,
your attendance at the upcoming meeting is encouraged. If you are
unable to attend, please feel free to write or call with your
comments. Hope to see you on February 4th.

Dear Resident:
; At its upcoming meeting, the Mendota Heights City Council will
be discussing the Federal Aviation Administration Part 150 Air
Noise Mitigation Program. Due to your close proximity to
Minneapolis/St. Paul International Airport, you are potentially
eligible to voluntarilv participate in this Program. The City
Council will be discussing this issue with eligible residents on
Tuesday, February 4, 1992, beginning at 5:00 P.M. at Mendota
Heights City Hall, and you are invited to attend.
The "Part 150" Program is being administered by the
Metropolitan Airports Commission (MAC), and is funded by the
Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). It is estima.ted by the MAC
that the Program will be funded annually over a long term period,
perhaps ten years or more, and that the City of Mendota Heights
will annually receive a portion of the funds. The City Council
must then decide how the funds are to be spent to best address the
air noise issue in the community. The three noise mitigation
options allowed under the Program include:
1. Residential Sound Insulation
2. Purchase Guarantee Program
3. Property Acquisition Program
At its meeting held January 21, 1992, the City Council began
its discussion of this issue with eligible residents.
Unfortunately, your address was inadvertently left off the initial
mailing list. Please accept my apology for this oversight.
Attached, please find the ma.terial which was discussed at that
meeting.
�
� To date, the City Council has not formally expressed its
preference for any of the available options. Your input is
important to the City Council as they address this issue. If you
are unable to attend the meeting, please feel free to call with any
questions or comments you may have. Hope to see you on February
4th.

POLICY ADVISORY CONIlVIITTEE
DECEIVIBER 12, 1991
The meeting was held at the General Office of the Metropolitan Airports Commission, MASAC Room.
The following voting members were in attendance: Jan Del Calzo for Steve Cramer, Larry Lee, Jon
Hohenstein, Tom Lawell, Bob Johnson, Scott Bunin, and Dick Keinz. Advisorv: Glen Orcutt-FAA,
Steve Vecchi-MAC Project Manager Consultants: David Schlothauer-AvPlan, Mona Shaw-AvPlan,
Suzie Kleymeyer-AvPlan, Sheldon Strom-CEUE, Dick Arey-CEUE, Pat Goodwin, Goodwin
Communications.
Chairman Bunin called the meeting to order at 12:15 p.m. and introduced the agenda items:
1. Distribudon of updated MSP Part 150 program definitions.
2. � Update on Sound Insulation program.
3. Update on Purchase Guarantee and Land Acquisition programs.
4. City-specific questions and discussion about program and priority decisions.
Steve Vecchi introduced the 12-2-91 updated program sheets which were distributed to all members.
A date correction was made to all program sheets which did not contain the 12-2-91 date which
identifies the most recent version of changes and additions.
During a discussion on how PAC members would make presentations to the City Council, staff
offered to prepare information packets. MAC and CEUE staff will be available for these presentations
to answer technical questions.
Steve Vecchi reviewed the FAR Part 150 Noise Compatibility Program submittal handout. A revised
and update of this original Part 150 will be submitted to the FAA in December or January.
Ben Sharp reviewed the update items on the Sound Insulation Program. Changes were made to the
the chart on page 1, Average Cost Projections: 10 dB $11,500-$22,500 and 5 dB 0-$11,500. On page
two, the last two sentences of the second to the last paragraph were moved to the beginning of the
last paragraph. The first bullet item on page 3 will read: Walls and ceilings of treated rooms would
be repainted either "off-white" or with a paint provided by the homeowner.
Ben Sharp reviewed two handouts on the Sound Insulation Program covering Proposed Criteria and
Ventilation/Air-Conditioning. Ben pointed out that the map shows people complain more on the
higher SEL (single event level) than repetidve average low noise level. It was found that it is
cheaper to install and operate an air-conditioner, rather than a ventilation system, which provides
both a health standazd as well as comfort standard. Sheldon Strom reviewed the Sound Insulation
Program Implementation Procedures handout. In order to get all of this up-and-running and meet
all FAA rules and reg�lations, we must begin now, especially on the contractor portion. An addidon
was made to the last sentence of page 2 to read: Contractors on the pre-approved list can be chosen
by the individual homeowner and would be assigned to implement modifications on individual
homes on a rotating basis, without the need for the bidding process. Sheldon distributed and
reviewed "Draft Sound Insulation Preimplementions Tasks" which contained 1991 timeline in weeks.
Mona Shaw reported results of her phone call to the FAA in Washington. The FAA felt, wording in
the Avigation Release was not strong enough, but FAA cannot require an easement, therefore, the
FAA is not either approving or disapproving. Mona also reviewed the Purchase Guarantee Program
questions which were asked at the previous PAC meeting. Purchase Guarantee is used for the
purpose of continuing the land use for residential purpose. Hazdship programs were discussed and
not recommended for the Sound Insulation program.
Suzie Kleymeyer distributed and reviewed summaries of other airports for sound insulation and
purchase guarantee programs. Members thanked staff for the requested information which they felt
was very helpful to our current planning stage.
Discussion took place on whether or not to add the Transaction Assitance Program to the updated
version of the Part 150. MAC has no interest in this program and will not pursue.
Chairman Bunin reminded members to be working on their multi-year methodology, and community
areas.
It was agreed the appropriate time to hold community meetings would be after the holidays.
Technical help would be available to answer questions at any of the city council meetings.
The next PAC meeting was scheduled for Wednesday, January 29, 1991 at noon. Lunch will be
served.

The meeting was held at the General Office of the Metropolitan Airports Commission, MASAC Room.
The following vodng members were in attendance: Jan Del Calzo for Steve Cramer, William Weaver,
Jon Hohenstein, Tom Lawell, Carol Kummer, Scott Bunin, and Dick Keinz. Advisorv: Glen Orcutt-
FAA, Dean Larson-MnDot, Steve Vecchi-MAC Project Manager Consultants: Mona Shaw-AvPlan,
Dick Arey-CEUE, Pat Goodwin, Goodwin Communications. CORE TEAM: Bloomington-John Nelson,
Eve Semmekoth, Bob Sharlin. Richfield-Bob Collette. Mendota Heights-Kevin Batchelder.
Chairman Bunin called the meeting to order at 10:15 a.m. and introduced the agenda items:
1. Consensus and decision: Unresolved Part 150 Program definition issues, 2. Review of "typical"
city administrative tasks for implementation of Sound Insulation, Purchase Guarantee and Land
Acquisition programs, 3. Presentadon to PAC and City Core Team of the city-specific Part 150
program worksheets and city-specific yearly program % participation forecasts.
1. Steve Vecchi reviewed, and requested a concensus on the recommended addendums to the
Sound Insulation and Purchase Guarantee programs.
Sound Insulation Addendum The sentence regarding replastering was worded by John
Nelson-Bloomington, to read: Surfaces modified or altered by sound insularion construction
would be restored with a finish surface of similar materials comparable to the surface prior
to construction. (For example, existing "sculptured" surfaces would be replastered.)
It was suggested that the following sentence be added to the addendum: All applicable
building pemuts must be obtained by the contractor or homeowner prior to sound insulation
modification work.
Purchase Guarantee Addendum The addendum was accepted. The cities of Minneapolis,
Bloomington, Richfield and Mendota Heights indicated no interest in the Purchase Guarantee
program. The City of Eagan is interested in the Purchase Guazantee program for
neighborhoods where there have been problems selling homes.
2. Steve Vecchi reviewed definitions and tasks for the Sound Insulation, Purchase Guarantee,
and Land Acquisition programs. A discussion followed. The cities felt if they agree to sign-
off on all these tasks, that it will cause liability on the cit}�s part. The question was raised
regazding costs, and who pays for administrative staff for the city. It was also asked what
level of involvement the FAA will have in program implementation after the funds are
received. Relocation costs were discussed regarding the Land Acquisition program. Dean
Larson, MnDOT will provide brochures covering relocation. MnDOT's expertise was
requested to help clarify Fair Market Value for the Purchase Guarantee and Land Acquisition
programs.
3. Two memos were distributed addressing City-Specific Part 150 Land Use Programs: 1. Area
Selection and Prioritization, 2. Percentage Participation Forecast. A packet of information
and forms to be completed was given to each PAC member. The forms were requested to
be completed and submitted by January 15, 1992.
The next PAC meeting was scheduled for Thursday, December 12, 1991 at noon. Lunch will be
served.

Sheldon Strom-CEUE, Pat Goodwin, Goodwin Communications
Co-Chairman, Bob Johnson, called the meeting to order at 10:05 a.m. Agenda items are as follows:
(1) Review of 1992 MSP Part 150 pre-application to the FAA (2) Review of Workshop #1 (10/8/91
at Bloomington Kennedy High School), (3) Avigation Easement discussion - Tom Anderson.
1. A draft of the Preavvlication to FAA for Airaort Imvrovement Pro�tram Fundins� was
distributed and reviewed by Sheldon Strom. This is the narrative version which describes
the three land use programs as approved by the PAC. The Budget on page 8 was reviewed.
If a strict timetable is kept, implementation could be done before April 1992 which would
allow more time to spend the money. It is important to have a good track record for the
first year.
2. Steve Vecchi reported that the format worked well at the first October Workshop for
R.ichfield/Bloomington which was held at Kennedy High School. Approximately 80 people
attended. Steve encouraged PAC members to attend the upcoming workshops.
It was announced that on October 8th, the MAC P&E committee approved a work program
to evaluate acquisition of New Ford Town/R.ich Acres, authority to enter into a joint powers
agreement to complete the work program, and authority to execute necessary documents.
3. Tom Anderson, MAC General Counsel, addressed the committee on the legal definition of
Avigation Easement. Generally, if there is a diminution of property due to aircraft noise,
there has then been a"taking of propert}�' and the homeowners must be compensated.
MAC has been involved in a lawsuit (Alevisos vs. MAC) for many yeazs which has been based
on an "inverse" condemnation theory. Tom explained that to begin a condemnation process
actually equates to purchasing an avigational easement. Currendy there are 50 plaintiffs still
involved in this litigation that are requesting that MAC purchase avigation easements
(through inverse condemnation).
Tom Anderson expressed to the committee that he had three primary concerns as MAC Legal
Counsel, regarding avigational easements:
A. There is still a question on the "status" of the MAC vs. Alevisos litigation. The Part
150 program participation could include participants hom these SO active plaintiffs.
B. What is the FAA's current position of requiring the signing of avigation easements
prior to receieving Part 150 funds? The consultant team informed Tom and the
committee that the current FAA handbook "recommends" easements (not requires).
' Mr. Anderson was still concerned being given lower priority in funding allocations
from the FAA by an airport that "required" the signing of avigation easements.
C. Tom was concerned if a Part 150 program without requiring easements, met
Minnesota State requirements, due to the problem of giving public money without
getting something in return. He expressed that MAC might have to identify both the
Public and Private benefits of giving money to residents through the Part 150
program without receiving an easement in return.
Comments: Melissa Burn informed members they have not experienced any problems in 3/4
of cities worked in with getting an easement when the resident wanted to participate in a
program. Jon Hohenstein commented that if the MAC does not want the Avigation
Easement, then the cities would just as soon drop it. Mona Shaw thought the Avigation
Easement requirement was based more on Minnesota state law.
The committee discussed the possibility of dealing with a"release" on both current and
future litigation with MAC regarding diminution of property. ChaiYman Bunin moved to
recommend draftinA a Release rather than an Avi�tation Easement, for anv liti�ation bv the
current homeowner. An increase of 1.5 LDN decibels would ne�ate the Release. The motion
was seconded bv Jon Hohenstein. A vote was taken, and the motion nassed.
The next meeting will be both the PAC and Core Teams, to begin discussion on city-specific land use
program selections and prioritization. The meeting date will be scheduled and a notice mailed when
the consultants finish the next phase of information.

Chaiiman Bunin called the meeting to order at 12:15 p.m., and introduced the agenda items: 1.
continued discussion of concensus on the Purchase Guarantee Program, 2. Review of Educaiional
Workshop format, 3. MSP 1992 Part 150 pre-application to FAA, and 4. Review of the Workshop
questionai�e form. •
1. The Purchase Guarantee program addendum was distributed and reviewed by Steve Vecchi.
He advised the cities to be awaze of the costs involved with purchase guarantee as listed
under the fair market value, plus factors for the total program cost Recommendations
included (1) insulation must be included in this program, (2) City will deterniine level of
participation in the purchase guarantee program, and (3) put sound insulation cost back on
the purchase price. The definition of fair market value will be determined before this
program begins. During discussion, prices and totals on the addendum were corrected.
Tom Lawell moved to approve the addendum as corrected, and subject to FAA information
pending. Bill Weaver seconded the motion. A vote was taken and the motion was
unanimously passed.
A discussion followed regarding consultants/agents or a central agency for control, expertise and
coordination of the sound insulation projects.
2. Steve Vecchi presented a brief overview of the October Public Information Workshop dates,
format, work stations, and introduced the questionaire form which will be used to collect
information from community residents. The information will be given to the city PAC
members.
3. Steve Vecchi distributed and reviewed a report on $4 million 1992 Part 150 Funding
allocadon scenario. Whatever monies aze applied for September 1991 must be spent by
September 1992. Nigel Finney, MAC Deputy Director Planning & Environment, relayed to
MAC staff that working with a smaller amount of Part 150 funds ($4 million) for the first
year would allow problems and "kinks" to be worked out of the system, and recommended
thereafter applying for substantially larger amounts of funds when they can be spent faster
and more efficiendy with the programs running smoothly.
Sheldon Strom is preparing a draft of the FAA pre-application form. He requested a
concensus on what program the cities are most interested in doing the first year. The
concensus: Sound Insulation. Mendota Heights would like the ability to roll the funds over
and hold for acquisition, or doing just one large project such as a school insulation. The pre-
application draft will be presented at the next PAC meeting 10-9-91.
Glen Orcutt distributed an FAA informational brochure, "Introduction to the Airport Improvement
Program" which covers funding, eligibility, and the grant process.
Steve Vecchi distributed and reviewed the matrix of a cost per home analysis on the Sound
Insulation Program. He informed members that a meeting process is on-going with the FAA
to get approval on the SEL concept
4. Members reviewed the workshop questionaire form. During discussion appropriate changes
and corrections were made. The revised form will be used at the October Public Information
Workshops.

Chairman Bunin called the meeting to order at 12:25 p.m., and introduced the agenda items: 1.
Continued discussion and concensus on the method of allocation of yearly Part 150 funds between
participating cities and 2. Conrinued discussion and concensus on Land Use Program matrix's.
Sheldon Strom, CEUE, distributed and reviewed a report on "Options for Allocating Part 150
Funding". The report pointed out that the 1992 monies would not be enough to consider Purchase
Programs. The fAA will begin working with the $4 million figure annually. They will commit to a
program and then find sources for the funds to support them. Options - Entitlement Funds and
Discretionary Funds (i.e. Adanta Airport). Each FAA Region competes for funds. This region covers
a 4-state area: MN, WS, ND, SD. Because the Part 150 program is already in place, MSP is further
ahead of other airports in this region, but will have competition 2 years down the line. It was
pointed out that MAC needs to become more aggressive and apply for the largest amount of FAA
funds as possible in order to deal with all the needs within the MSP Ldn 65. Bill Weaver brought
up the need for multi-strategies for sources of funding.
Allen Lovejoy presented a two-part motion as an interim project for the Part 150 FAA funds and
MAC funds: (1) Majority of funding should toward sound insulation and not purchase programs,
and (2) Base allocation should be 2% for each community.
Mr. Lovejoy accepted a fiiendly amendment by Peggy Reichert to strike the first part of the motion
regarding sound insulation.
Tom Lawell moved, and Jon Hohenstein seconded, to amend the second part of the motion to a 5�/0
allocation. A vote was taken and failed 4 to 3.
A vote was then taken on the the original amended motion and was passed S to 2.
Steve Vecchi distributed and reviewed a Recommended Addendum to the Sound Insulation Program.
An addition was added to the last paragraph which will be reflected in an updated report copy.
The PAC meetings have been poorly attended and members aze leaving eazly. Chairman Bunin and
Project Manager, Steve Vecchi, determined that our deadlines must be met, and that the Committee
will proceed on with voting with, or without all cities attending the meeting. Also, previous agenda
material will not be re-discussed if it was missed at previous meeting.
Chairman Bunin scheduled PAC meeting #7 on Wednesday, October 2, and PAC meeting #8 on

Chairman Bunin called the meeting to order at 12:25 p.m. The agenda items include further
discussion and decision-malting of the MSP Part 150 Land Use Program ma�ixes, and discussion and
concensus of the general priority rules and yearly city dollar allocation methods to be used in the
MSP Part 150 Land Use Program implementation.
Steve Vecchi briefed the committee on MAC status with the FAA for 1992 Part 150 monies
availability. The FAA district office will require submission of a detailed application for funds (due
8/31/91) and will want to know �where the $4 million is going to be spent in 1992. The funds aze
at the FAA National level and will be applied for through the regional office. It is most important
that the PAC get all the concensus issues cleared up as soon as possible in order to get the budget
submitted.
Steve informed members that the Part 150 is now in the process. of being updated. The 1996
preliminary contour must be resubmitted as part of this process. As of now, the 1992 contour is the
only one �approved by the FAA.
1. SOUND INSULATION PROGRAM
Ben Sharp reviewed the updated copy of the Sound Insulation Program. A discussion session
followed.
The question of whether or not the FAA would reunburse expenses for sound insulation if done
ahead of time, was felt to be well-worth looking into. This would serve two purposes; take the
pressure off where residents want sound insulation immediately, and, leverages money by doing the
work now - reimburse later. �
Members felt use of only one sound insulation contractor who cannot perform other remodeling
work (in addition to the sound insulation), was too limited. William Weaver suggested eliminating
extra costs through the program "application process" which is applied for by the homeowner. This
would allow a way for the homeowner to introduce and anticipate additional remodeling. Ben
Sharp reviewed di.fferent methods used in other cities on how contracdng was handled. Staff will
prepaze an added statement on additional remodeling language.
Issue of Concern #1: Concensus voted that there is no need for priority on this issue. The city can
decide.
Issue of Concern #2: Concensus Vote (modified b) - The homeowner can decide at any time and
priority will then be given by the city after that.
Issue of Concern #3: Concensus Vote (b) - The sponsor (MAC) contracts with an outside agency
or firm.
2. LAND ACQUISITION PROGRAM
Mona Shaw reviewed the updated copy of the Land Acquisition Program. Additions were made to
the second and third paragraphs of the program summary, which will appeaz in the updated copy
and distributed at the next meeting.
Issue of Concern #1: Concensus Vote (a) - Block by block.
Issue of Concern #2: Concensus Vote (c) - No specific time frame is identified.
Steve Vecchi reviewed five funding options. Variations of these options will be presented at the next
meeting. The consultants will run scenarios for possible yeazly $ allocation methods using the 1990
census figures, to be presented at the next meeting.
Chairman Bunin scheduled PAC meeting #6 for Friday, September 20th, 12 noon. Lunch will be

and concensus of the Land Use Program matrix's.
Steve Vecchi reviewed the 1996 Ldn 65 noise contour map which was distributed to each member.
He also announced the next series of educarional workshops which will be held October 8-10.
Between now and the first week of October, the PAC needs to define each Land Use Program and
come to a concensus on each strategy option.
The committee determined that each program should again be reviewed and then opened for
discussion for a concensus. Each program was then reviewed and discussed as follows:
1. LAND ACQUISITION PROGRAM ,
Mendota Heights and Eagan questioned acquisition outside of the Ldn 75. Both cities requested
affirmation of buy-outs beyond Ldn 75. Division of neighborhoods is not an issue and they are
supportive of a definition of neighborhoods.
St. Paul questioned long-term programs if MSP expands, and if monies used to purchase land for
new runway expansion would be reimburs�d back to Part 150 funds. Glen Orcutt clarified that land
purchased with Part 150 funds for runway expansion, would only be used for airport purposes.
Issue of Concern #1: Concensus Vote (b) - Use of specific noise contour boundaries (Ldn 65)
modified to account for neighborhoods based on redevelopment potential.
Issue of Concern #2: Concensus Vote (Modified a) - Funding priority will be based on location
within the contour and 2-years residency in the home before application is made.
2. SOUND INSULATION PROGRAM
Issue of Concern #1:
Issue of Concern #2: Concensus Vote (b) - Owners of all types of residential units inside the
program boundaries would be eligible to participate.
Issue of Concern #3: Concensus Vote (Modified b-d combined) - Based on block to block closest
to the airport with city jurisdictional input.
Issue of Concern #4: Concensus Vote (Modified a) - Eligible homeowners living between the 1996
Ldn 65 and 75 noise contour would not be required to contribute towazd the cost of the sound
insulation treatment unless the eligible homeowner does not sign an avigational easement, they
would pay 20% of the incurred cost.
Issue of Concern #5: Concensus Vote (c) - Limited homeowner veto of treatments by selection of
alternatives from a prepared list.
Issue of Concern #6: Concensus Vote (Added New) - MAC will identify other funding sources and
pay for installation of air-conditioning 100%.
3. PURCHASE GUARANTEE PROGRAM
Issue of Concern #1: Concensus Vote (b) - Use of specific noise contour boundaries (Ldn 65)
modified to account for neighborhoods based on redevelopment potential.
Issue of Concern #2: Concensus Vote (a) - All owner occupied, single-family residential units would
be eligible.
Issue of Concern #3: Concensus Vote (Modified b) - Based on location within the noise contour and
•on 2-year ownership with city jurisdictional input.
Issue of Concern #4: Concensus Vote (a) - Prior to putting the house up for sale on the market.
Issue of Concern #5: Concensus Vote (Modified a) - A set number of days (90-240 days) average
within the community based on MLS, rounded to a whole month, adjusted as necessary based on
the grant application period.
4. AVIGATION EASEMENT
Issue of Concern #1: Concensus Vote (Modified a) - Current noise levels�plus 1-1/2 db (exterior)
from the operation and maintenance of existing runways at MSP.
Steve Vecchi opened discussion on MSP yearly Part 150 funds and distributed three different
concepts for concensus of what could be done at MSP. It was decided to discuss these concepts at
the next meeting.
Chairman Bunin scheduled PAC Meeting #5 for Wednesday, September 11, at 12:00 noon. Lunch
will be served.

� JiJLY 31, 1991
The meeting was held at the General Office of the Metropolitan Airports Comtnission, MASAC Room
and called to order at 12:50 p.m. by Chairman Scott Bunin. The following voting members were
in attendance: Steve Cramer (Gordon Wagoner-Alternate), Allen Lovejoy, Larry Lee, William
Weaver, Jon Hohenstein, Tom Lawell, Carol Kummer, (Chauncey Case-Altemate), Scott Bunin, Bob
Johnson and Dick Keinz. Advisory: Glenn Orcutt-FAA, Steve Vecchi-MAC Project Manager and Jean
Deighton-MAC Staff Consultants: Sheldon Strom-CEUE, Dick Arey-CEUE, Ben Sharp-Wyle Lab,
Mona Shaw-AvPlan, Suzie Kleymeyer-AvPlan, Pat Goodwin, Goodwin Communications
PRESENTATION OF LAND USE PROGR.AM MENU MATRIX
Steve Vecchi introduced matrixes for the three main Land Use Programs (Sound Insulation, Land
Acquisidon, Purchase Guarantee) as well as, the Avigation Easement supplement The MAC will be
asked to reach a consensus on each of the basic land use program strategy options at the upcoming
August 20th meeting.
A report on each of the three programs and easement supplement was distributed to each committee
member which included a summary explanation of the program, issues of concern, strategy options,
and strategy option pro and con. Slide presentations were given on each of these reports as follows:
Sound Insulation: Ben Sharp, Wyle Labs, reviewed sound insulation methods and basics of the
program covering issues of concern, and strategy options.
During discussion it was pointed out that each city would have to determine where to invest the
program monies: residences, schools, churches, public buildings. Allen Lovejoy suggested that the
individual participating residents "ability to pa}�' should also be an issue of concern. Staff will add
this item to the list of issues. Larry Lee suggested that the Consultant Team include the experiences
from other airports who have already initiated these land use programs at the August 20th meeting.
The consultants will include recommendation on some of the matrix strategy options based on other
airports experiences in order to assist the PAC in their decision-making process on August 20th.
Land AcQuisition Prostram, Purchase Guarantee Prostrram and Avigation Easement: Mona Shaw,
AvPlan, presented all the basic eligibility criteria on the three programs and covered issues of concern
and s�ategy options.
Steve Cramer suggested that for the sound insulation program, the avigation easement supplement
requirement should be a policy issue that the PAC cazefully consider before making a final decision.
Larry Lee questioned the history of avigation easements in other communities and the consultant
team informed the PAC that they have been a required supplement to almost all land use programs
at other airports.
MSP LDN CONTOUR UPDATE
Steve Vecchi reviewed noise modei input for the 1996 LDN Contour. It was rumored in Washington,
D.C. that a August Z, 1991, is the deadline for cornpletion of the FAA National Noise Rule {Stage
2 restricdon, Stage 3°lo limits). The Consuitant Team wanted to deiay the running the INM
computer model of Che MSP 1996 LDN noise contour until August 2nd so the final language can be
incorporated. If the cieadline passes without action, it was decided that the 1996 LDN modei be run
anyway using the draft FAA Noise Rule language. The new cantour will be reviewed at a Special
Palicy Advisory Meeting to be held August 14th.
Tom Lawell requested that the new naise cantour be run with, and without, the new Corridor
Departure pracedure.
UPDATE & DISCUSSION: PUBLIC EDUCATItJNAL WORKSHOPS (Au�ust 29. 2Q. 21)
Mona Shaw reviewed and updated the comrnittee an the Educatianal Workshaps which will be heid
August 19, 20, and 21, in Minneapolis, Richfield and Mendota Heights, respectively, from 6 p.m. ta
9 p.m. She reparted that a copy af the mailer was distributed ta approximately 15,000 homes in
the "project study area", which is somewhat lazger thaC the 1996 Cantour.
A media conference will be held August 14th at 11 a.m. A copy of the 6-part brachure mailers will
be handed aut to the press, along wirh a gress packet. The press con€erence will also inciude a taur
of the Demo Home.
Larry Lee requestec� that Cable Television also be invited ta the media conference.
Sheldon Strom informed the committee that a special area of hand-delivered mailers will be made
to the cities of Eagan and Mendata Heights since these addresses are not in the data base being used
far the ma�Iing list. '
UPDATE: DEMO Ht.�ME ACOUSTICAL MODIFICATI�N PROJEGT
Ben Sharp reported that a contractor had been hired and construction� is 70% finished, with a
compietion date targeted for Manday, August Sth. Mr. Sharp reviewed the three rooms which are
being acoustically treated: Den, Living Room and Dining Room. During the tours of the Dema
Home there wiil be F,.�hibits of Sound Insulatian, Noise Contour Maps, Windaw Exhibits and Audia
Demonstrations.
DE1VI0 HOME TOUR
After adjounment of the rneeting, PAC members were given a guided Cour through the Demo Home.
A notice was distributed to all members of a SPECIAL PAC meeting which will be held Wednesday,
August 14, 12:30 p.m. Lunch will be served. Evan Futterman, HNTB, will present the preliminary
1996 LDN 65 noise contour map.

PART 150 LAND USE COMPATIBIL�i'Y IlVIPLEMENTATION DESIGN
POLICY ADVISORY CON�VIITrEE (PAC)
JLTNE 5, 1991
The meeting was held at the General Office of the Metropolitan Airports Commission, MASAC Room
and called .to order at 12:50 p.m. by Chairman Scott Bunin. The following voting members were
in attendance: Gordon Wagoner (for Steve Cramer), Roger Ryan (for Allen Lovejoy), William
Weaver, Jon Hohenstein, Tom Lawell, Carol Kummer, Chauncey Case, Scott Bunin, Bob Johnson and
Dick Keinz. Advisorv: Glenn Orcutt-FAA, Steve Vecchi-MAC Project Manager and Jean Deighton-
MAC Staff Consultants: Sheldon Strom-CEUE, Ben Sharp-Wyle Lab, Mona Shaw-Aviation Planning,
Patricia Goodwin, Goodwin Communications
Finalization of Citv Core Team Rosters
Chairman Bunin requested that each PAC member submit a name and address list to Jean Deighton,
MAC, in order to finalize the Core membership roster and mailing lists.
Review of Proiect Flow Chart Revision (5-7-91 draft)
Steve Vecchi reviewed changes and additions to the flow chart. A simplified version of the flow
chart was distributed to all members. The timeframe is still tentative but the implementation design
plan should be completed by April 1992. The city of St. Paul was added to the flow chart as a Core
Team member, even though they may not be eligible for funding.
Dick Keinz commented on the good turn out at the 11:00 a.m. press conference today. The media
asked positive questions and the interview went well. Patricia Goodwin, Goodwin Communications,
was introduced as a new consultant team member and was thanked for a job well-done. The media
statement released to the press was distributed to all PAC members.
Finalization of Proiect Studv Area Boundaries
Sheldon Strom reviewed the Project Study Area and requested agreement today from the committee
on deciding the final project area. PAC members were asked for their input on any changes to the
boundary lines.
After a lengthy discussion which included requests from Mendota Heights, Bloomington, Met.
Council and Richfield, to increase the project area, it was decided that a larger project area will help
educate more of the public and open the line of communication to inform the public "why they
would not" be included in the final eligibility area. In summary, whatever is agreed upon today as
the project area, will be used through the flow chart process until the 1996 contour is completed.
This committee will also work on "maintaining equity in the neighborhood" after the 1996 contour
is completed.
Noise Criteria Discussion
Ben Sharp discussed noise cirteria within the eligibility area. To be eligible for FAA funding for
sound insulation, a structure must generally lie between the DNL 65 and 75 dB contours, although
exceptions are allowed in the interest of retaining neighborhood equity.
�
�
The noise insulation criteria is stated as being at least 20 dB NLR (noise level reduction) for a DNL
65 dB exterior level, increasing commensurate with any increase in the exterior DNL. The minimum
decrease in NLR for any eligible house is 5 dB. The wording in these statements, i.e., "at least 20
dB" and "a minimum decrease of 5 dB", indicate some degree of flexibility in the criteria.
The results of citizen surveys show that people are more annoyed by the single-event noise rather
than the overall average noise. Since homes in the MSP metropolitan area already have a higher
dB indoor/outdoor attenuation due to a high level of thermal insulation and DNL is not necessarily
a good prediction of single-event noise, an alternative noise metric, such as the Sound Exposure
Level (SEL), may be more appropriate for determining the degree of sound insulation required.
Land Use Menu Options
Mona Shaw distributed and reviewed a Land Use Menu which covered Soundproofing programs
(residential, human services, schools and churches), Acquisition/Redevelopment Programs, Purchase
Guarantee Programs, Building Code Modification Programs, Rezoning Programs and Avigational
Easement Packages. Mona is now working on a report of what is being done at other airports across
the country. Upon completion, this package will •be distributed to all PAC members.
Items not on the A�enda
Ben Sharp reviewed plans for the Demo Home. The house is designed so visitors will be able to
experience 4 different degrees of interior noise level reduction. Both real aircraft and simulated
noise will be used for the demonstration. A copy of the demo home report is attached.
Sheldon Strom presented statistics from the housing survey which included:
- number of stories
- window types
- wall types
- air conditioning
The preliminary survey consisted of 25% of households in Bloomington, Minneapolis and Richfield.
Blocks to be surveyed were selected at random. A copy of the survey report is attached.
Wyle Lab will identify "types" of houses, and select 12 homes for detailed noise monitoring and
analysis. .
A lunch meeting was scheduled for PAC meeting #3 to be held Thursday, June 27th,12:00-2:00 p.m.
The meeting was adjourned at 2:25 p.m. Following the meeting an Educational Workshop was
presented to the PAC and Core Team members.

2. Review of Proiect Workscove and Timetable
Steve Vecchi, Project Manager, reviewed the project flow chart covering a timetable from April 1991
ta April 1992, FAA/MAC funding, and explained the PAC's advisory role which is to ensure proper
oversight thraughout the implementadan design grocess. The follawing flaw chart itezns were
explained:
1. FAA Part 150 Land Use Prograrn Options & Financing Mechanisms
2. Consultant Team Tasks
3. PAC advisory role in the project '
4. Carnmunicadan and Mailer Plans
5. Educatianal Workshap Camgosition and Timing
6. Development of Final Land Use and Finance Program Menu
7. Demonstration Home - Upen House
8. Final MSP Master Implementadon Plan
Steve Cramer and Bob Johnson brought to the Committee's attention that how project
cammunication is presented to the public is very critical to both clarity and credibility of the Part 150
Land Use Implementation program. It was requested that any media distribution be first approved
by the PRC, befare it is released.
Steve Vecchi reiterated the duty of PAC members to communicate back to their cities and contribute
all their city's issues, concerns and desires regarding the implementation of this project.
The next step for PAC city members is to organize a city-specific CORE Team. There will be five
CORE Teams which will represent the Cities of Minneapolis, Richfield, Bloomington, Eagan and
Mendota Heights. Each CORE Team will consist of the following representatives: (1) PAC (leader),
(2) Technical Rep., (3) Planning Rep., (4) Community Relations Rep. and (S) Administrative Rep.
The CORE Teams wi�l assist in the coordination of public meetings, workshops and demons�ations
and the development of final City Implementation Design plans.
Time and date conflicts were discussed for the Educational Workshops which had been orig-inally
scheduled for May 20-22. It was also felt that the Workshops were being held too soon and should
be moved to late summer. It was agreed they would be held during the 8/19/91 - 8/21/91 dme
period.
During discussion of TASK #5, (Development of Land Use & Finance Program) David Schlothauer
stressed the need for getting community feedback on these menu items. Concerns on how the
resulting program would be monitored were brought up by Allen Lovejoy, and will be added to the
flowchart menu.
Completion of the "Demo Home" is expected July 1, 1991. The open house, staffed by CEUE, will
be open to the public during the 7/19/91 - 8/19/91 period which will coincide with the 1991
Airport Days tours.
The Final MSP Master Implementation Plan design -(TASK #8), anticipated to take 2 to 3 months,
was reviewed as a key item. This is where the master prioritizing and phasing will take place
considering all the individual city plans submitted by the CORE Teams.
3. FAA Eli�ibilitv Requirements
Ben Sharp and Glen Orcutt reported that the FAA will pay up to 80% for eligible projects. The two
areas which will determine eligibility are (1) Area (contour eligibility) and (2) Interior Noise Levels
of Residential Homes. Committee members requested the FAA eligibility information be present in
a printed report form. Mona Shaw will include this item in the next package which is now being
put together.
The FAA will be using the 1996/ 5-year LDN contour to determine area eligibility. The estimated
date of completion for the 1996 contour is late July 1991.
Sheldon Strom reviewed a designated STUDY AREA which was displayed on a map for committee
members. The Study Area will act'as an"interim" geographical area for survey and research
purposes until the completion of the 1996 Base Case LDN Contour. It is based on the 1989 contour
and in no way establishes eligibility. It will be used only to establish a data base for the surveys,
media mailers, educational workshops and public forums.
4. Educational Workshop Discussion
Mona Shaw reviewed the 7-Station workshop handout. The workshops serve to inform the public
and to educate ourselves as to the public's needs and wants. Therefore, the workshop works for
both sides as an information collator.
�
Committee members questioned the timeframe of the workshops as being too early in the yearly
process, where the public will start demanding immediate funding. Staff stressed the importance of
educating the public early in the process as to the reality of a multi-year implementation program.
The public needs to know right up front, that this is a lengthy federal process.
The committee discussed several concerns regarding the workshops. Sheldon Strom then asked for
any alternatives to holding the workshop in June. The suggestions were as follows: (1) Try the
7-station workshop on the CORE Team first, (2) Move the workshop date back to August which is
closer to the Public Forums (3) Rename workshops to "Open House", (4) Complete TASK 5 so it is
ready for the "Open House", (5) The mailer could include all three dates ("Open House", Public
Forum and Communicadon Meeting).
It was decided that first a special CORE Team and Media Educational "Open House" be held on June
5th between 2:30-5:00 p.m. The Public Educational "Open House" would be moved back to the
August 19-21 period.
5. Citv "Core-Group" Formation
A review of the Core Team formation was given earlier in the meeting. A deadline for appointment
of Core Team representatives was set for June S.
The next PAC meeting was scheduled for June 5th at 12:30 p.m. which will include lunch.

FROM: Klayton H. Eckles ���
SUBJECT: Ivy Falls Creek Drainage System
Protection and Improvements
Project 8814
. �
Storm Water Utility Program Proposal
Project 9125
DISCUSSION
The erosion problems of the Ivy Falls Creek Drainage system
have been before the Council several times in the past. Once
again this problem has come to the Council's attention, this
time because resident Jack Brassard is very concerned about
the erosion of his property, and wants the creek stabilized.
Before doing repair on just a portion of the creek, the
question of how the repair will tie into future projects must
be addressed.
In the past the creek erosion problem has never been resolved
because the extreme cost to repair and protect the creek ma.de
an improvement project unfeasible. This time there are other
possible funding mechanisms which the Council can consider.
Cost sharing with West St. Paul and implementation of a Storm
Water Utility Program both offer promising alternatives to
straight assessments.
In light of the fact that BARR Engineering has done studies
of the creek in conjunction with the Lower Mississippi
Watershed Management Organization (WMO), and the time since
the last study, it seemed prudent to prepare a completely new
study of the creek situation. Attached is a copy of the Ivy
Falls Creek Drainage System Improvement and Protection
report. It discusses the history, present situation,
possible solutions, estimated costs, and funding alternatives
for the creek and possible improvement project.
The funding source that holds the most promise is a Storm
Water Utility Program. Such a program could be used to cover
the majority of the creek improvement costs, and also provide
revenue for other storm water projects and costs which are
looming in the future.
With the advent of WMO's and the concerns for the
environment, storm sewer systems will require improvements
and increased maintenance. Currently the city has no program
in place that could finance these potentially costly
projects. A Storm Water Utility Program, which works just
like a sanitary sewer utility program, is the funding method
being used and developed by many other cities in the metro
area. Attached is a proposal for design and implementation
of such a program.
RECOMI�NDATIONS
1) Staff recommends Council review and discuss the Ivy Falls
Creek Report then read and discuss the Storm Water Utility
Program Proposal.
2) If Council wishes to pursue the creek repair issue
further, the next step would be to get the affected
pro�erties involved. At Council's direction Staff could
notify the neighborhood of the situation, and call for an
open public discussion or neighborhood meeting.
3) If either or both the creek issue and the storm utility
issue are to be �ursued further, Staff will make any
corrections, additions, or clarifications and can provide
more detail on any aspect of the report that the Council
may desire.
ACTION REOUIRED
If Council wishes implement Staff's recommendation, Council
should read and discuss the reports, then pass a motion
calling for a neighborhood meeting to discuss Ivy Falls
Creek. The March 3rd Council meeting would allow sufficient
time to prepare and notify the affected residents.

INTRODUCTION
The Ivy Creek Drainage system has suffered periodic erosion
and property damage over the years. Most of the damage has
occurred during large storms (100 year storm of 1977, and
1987 Super storm), but continual erosion is an ongoing
problem.
Because of the current erosion problems and the potential
damage which could occur given another storm, Council
directed Staff to prepare a feasibility report discussing
the creek problem and possible solutions. Also Council
directed Staff to prepare plans and specifications for
repairs on two city culverts and the bank along Jack
Brassard's home, which require immediate attention due to
significant erosion.
This report
and possible
this report
Engineering,
DISCUSSION
examines the past history, the current condition,
remedies for the creek problem. Information for
comes from past feasibility reports, BARR.
and Staff analysis.
The body of this report will be broken down into the
following sections:
- History and Current
- Possible Solutions
- Cost Analysis
- Funding sources and
- Conclusions
Situation
mechanisms
Historv and Current Situation
In Appendix A, Map #1 shows the project area, and Map #2
shows the overall drainage area. The creek is actually a
series of creeks which connect together before reaching Ivy
Falls. The areas of concern are the Ivy Falls Creek Main
Stem, the Ivy Hill Park Reach, and to a lesser extent the Ivy
Falls First addition reach.
Ivy Falls Creek Main stem, which runs from the falls up to
Delaware Avenue, has been improved for much of its length.
Mendota Heights and West St. Paul completed a joint repair
project west of Delaware Avenue. Aft-er the 1977 storm a
large scale improvement was undertaken which improved the
creek through Somerset Golf Course and from Dodd road to
Sylvandale Road.
The section below Sylvandale is experiencing some serious
problems in isolated areas. The Phase I creek improvement
3
I A
project, which council ordered preparation of plans and
specifications this year, includes the repair of the storm
pipe under Sylvandale Road. Appendix A, Map #3 shows the
pro�ect area of the proposed Phase I improvements. Note that
this Phase of construction is currently on hold because of
easement acquisition problems.
The Ivy Hills Park reach is suffering the most and little has
been done to repair and improve it. This section has very
steep stream bed slope, and flows in a deep ravine with steep
sides. The Phase I project currently being designed,
addresses one of the most severe areas located along the
Brassard Property, which requires immediate attention. Phase
II construction would entail additional improvements to
stabilize the banks and bed of the creek.
The Ivy Falls First Addition does not have the large volumes
of water the other two reaches have, but it still has some
significant erosion problems. The repair and protection of
this section of creek is not as pressing as the other two
sections.
The Ivy Creek drainage system is the ma.in drainage way for
the north east corner of the city with over 600 acres
draining into it. The continual "In Fill" development of
this area means more hard surface area, which means more
precipitation run off. The increase in run off will make the
erosion problem grow progressively worse.
Prior to this area developing, there were more low areas
for ponding of precipitation and less imperious land, so
water reached the creek in lesser quantities at lower
velocities.
High velocities and flow rates are the chief factors which
create the erosion. The creek is particularl� vulnerable to
erosion and bank failure because of the relatively steep
slope of the creek bed. A typical creek might have a slope
of 0.2' per 100 feet, whereas Ivy creek has up to 6' per 100
feet. This causes high velocities and greater turbulence.
The entire creek system is almost devoid of holding ponds,
which means the volume of water flowing in the creek is much
greater during an intense storm. Holding ponds catch
�recipitation, hold it back, and gradually empty excess water
into the receiving system.
Solutions to the erosion problem must address the issues of
high velocity and excessive flow rates.
Possible Solutions
BARR Engineering completed two working papers that examined
n
�
possible solutions to the problems in the creek. BARR's
examination was limited to the Ivy Falls Creek reach and the
Ivy Hills Park reach. The Ivy Falls First Addition reach was
not included in the papers, but BARR's findings are equally
valid for it too.
In the first working paper BARR developed a list of nine
possible solutions and briefly discussed each one. BARR then
developed a table and qualitativel�r rated each option on
constructability, safety, reliability/durability,
effectiveness, aesthetics, and cost. A copy of this table is
provided in Appendix B.
BARR and Staff considered the options and deleted the ones
that did not seem feasible. The "Do Nothing" option was
deleted because it is obvious that at some point something
must be done. The "Pipe" option, which would eliminate the
creek entirely and pipe the water through the city, was also
rejected. The Rip-Rap option was rejected because it
wouldn't be able to handle the force of large storms. The
Concrete Flume option was rejected�because of safety reasons.
The remaining options, Detention Basins, Minimum Repair,
Modular Drop Structures, Drop Structures, and High Flow
Pipe/Low Flow Channel, were given more serious consideration
in Working Paper II, where BAR.R did a cost comparison and
life expectancy of each option.
The list and discussion of alternatives considered in this
study is given below in order of increasing cost:
Alternative - Increase Capacity of Detention Basin
The Detention Basin option is only feasible in one location.
Ivy Hills Park has an existing pond where the holding
capacity could be enlarged. BARR's findings show that this
option is the most important one available, and it should be
implemented no matter what other option is chosen.
Enlarging the pond would involve clearing and transplanting
some existing trees, raising the sides of the pond alon�
Maple Park Drive, and reshaping some of the open space in the
park to allow for storm water storage. The pond itself could
be enlarged or remain as is, the important change would be in
how much water would be held back in the open space of the
park during large storms. It should be pointed out that
normal storms would not be any different than the existing
conditions, but on the extremely large storms of once in 25
or 100 years, the open space would be flooded for a few
hours. This technique is widely used in other cities, and
even in our own city storm water system.
When the reshaping of the park is completed, some landscape
5

�
enhancement could also be completed, and new trees could be
planted. Perhaps excess fill could be used to create a
sliding hill. To sum up, the storm water storage area would
still be available for any type of open area use (i.e.
picnics, frizbee, duck watching) and the pond could be
altered in shape and size at our choosing.
The cost to complete the detention area enlargement would be
approximately $124,000 as estima.ted by BARR, not including
extraordinar� landscaping such as trees, shrubs, sod, or
special grading. BARR recommends that whatever the city
does, the detention enlargement should be part of it. I
agree with BARR. The larger detention area reduces the
flows and construction costs for the rest of the creek.
This option should be chosen no matter what other option is
chosen. The remaining alternatives assume the enlarged
holdinQ area is in place. If the pond were not enlarged then
the cost of these other alternatives would be significantly
increased.
Alternative - Minimum Repair.
This alternative consists of lowering culvert outlets or
filling the eroded channel at the outlets, providing rip-rap
and filter ma.terial at culvert outlets, and filling in along
the channel.
The minimum repair option is advantageous from a cost stand
point, but only if the life of the improvement is ignored.
BARR estimated the total cost of this option to be $321,000.
The problem with this option is that BARR estimates it to
have a 4 year life expectancy. In other words, the first
significant storm would undo much of the improvements.
Alternative - Modular Drop Structure (Gabion or Timber)
This o�tion would consist of constructing a series of three
foot high steps down the creek bed so that the water would
pass over a series of small water falls on its way down the
creek. Each waterfall reduces the steepness of the creek and
the velocity of the water. This could be accomplished via
Gabion drop structures (a gabion is basically a steel mesh
basket of rocks), or timber drop structures (a timber wall
constructed across the creek).
Gabion drop structures have been used effectively in the
upper reaches of the creek. Drawings #1 and #2 of Appendix C
show these two options in place. Gabion drop structures for
Ivy Falls reach and Ivy Hills Park reach would cost
approximately $554,000. The Timber structure option would be
slightly less expensive at around $520,000. I think the
Timber structures would have a tendency to rot and
0
W
lf
deteriorate quickly with the constant flowing water, so I
think gabions would be superior. BARR estimates the
effective life of Modular Drop Structures at 25 years.
Gabions�have been used successfully in other parts of the
city. Ivy Falls Creek from Laura to Dodd has gabion
protection. The Somerset Golf Course has areas with gabion
protection. Gabions have an advantage in that limited
amounts of heavy equipment are needed to install them.
During the Super Storm there were a couple of structures
which failed and had to be repaired. The failure occurred
due to lack of erosion blankets under the gabions. Today's
standards include blankets under all gabions, so this is much
less likely to occur in the future.
Alternative - Full Scale Drop Structures
This alternative consists of placing a series of 10-foot high
dams across the creek channel, and constructing "Stilling
Basins" underneath each dam. This option has the advantages
of creating temporary holding basins behind the dams, and a
long life expectancy of 50 years. The problems with this
design are that it requires substantial bank protection above
the dam, the dams are difficult to construct, requiring heavy
equipment, and the high dams suffer aesthetic and safety
problems. BARR estimates the cost of this option at
$1,148,000.
Alternative - Piped Storn� Flow with Low Flow Channel
This alternative would entail installation of a storm pipe
underneath the creek bed which would carry the heavy�flows
created by large storms, but would allow the creek bed to
carry the every day flows. This system is the safest design
and it maintains the natural qualities of the creek. Drawing
#3 of Appendix C shows a typical section of the creek with
this option in place. The major drawbacks of this option are
the very difficult and disruptive construction, and the cost.
This option would cost $1,267,000 to construct. The storm
pipe would have a life expectancy'of 100 years and the
natural creek would still require maintenance and repairs
averaging a 25 year life expectancy.
Cost Analysis
Before getting further into the cost analysis the following
points need to be stressed:
1) The above cost estimates all assume that the Detention
Basin in I� Hills Park is constructed.
7
5
2) The cost estimates do not include the cost of easements or
land acc�uisition necessary to complete the work. Nor do
the estimates include repair and restoration of
construction roads which may be necessary. Depending on
how much cooperation we get from the surrounding property
owners these items could be incidental or up to 10% of the
project cost.
3) The estimates do not include the cost of repairing the Ivy
Hills First Addition reach. I completed a separate
estimate for the First Addition reach, and anticipate
$204,000 to improve this segment.
The costs presented for each alternative above are for
construction of the initial project. Any �roject of this
size with this many options should be examined based on the
Net Present Cost of each improvement. That is, a cost
comparison should be made based on the cost to construct,
repair, and reconstruct each option over the years. To
calculate this, the initial cost and estimated life of each
project is used. Projects with short life spans will have
higher Net Present Costs then ones with long life spans.
BARR completed this analysis and the results are as follows:
ALTERNATIVE LIFE
Minimum Repair 4 yrs
Gabion Drops 25 yrs
Timber Drops 20 yrs
Drop Structures 50 yrs
Pipe & Channel 100/25 yrs
INITIAL COST
$321,000
$554,000

NET PRESENT COST
$1,200,000
$810,000
$S�o,000
$1,300,000
$1,900,000
The initial cost shows the cost to construct the option the
first time. The Net Present Cost shows the cost in today's
dollars to build and maintain the option for 100 years.
The Gabion Drop Structure option has the lowest Net Present
Cost. As stated earlier, Gabions have been used successfully
in the past, so this option looks very attractive.
As mentioned above, Ivy Falls First Addition Reach was not
included in the earlier estimates. This section of creek has
significant erosion, but it doesn't have the high volumes of
water that other sections have.
This section suffers prima.rily from side slope failure, which
would be very expensive to completely repair, and is more
difficult to justify when only three homes are in the
affected area. Some remedial measures were taken using
gabions several years ago, but only about 10� of the channel
is protected. To stabilize the channel and reduce the side
slope erosion, 10 gabion drops with bank protection could be
installed at a cost of about $204,000.
�
Assuming the Gabion option is c�osen, and assuming at some
point all three reaches will be improved, the following table
is provided as a summary of the anticipated costs (note that
the cost of constructing Phase I has been broken out as a
separate item) :

There are four possible funding sources available to this
project; cost sharing with West St. Paul, assessments,
general fund, and creation of a storm water utility fund
could all be used to fund this type of project.
Funding Source- Cost sharing
Since a very large area of West St. Paul drains into the
creek system it stands to reason that West St. Paul should
participate in the cost to repair and protect the creek.
Appendix A contains a map showing the drainage area of the
creek, including the portion in West St. Paul.
The Lower Mississippi Watershed Management Organization was
set up in part to assist in inter-community drainage issues.
According to WMO criteria, West St. Paul is allowed to empty
an amount of water into Mendota Heights equal to the amount
that flowed into our city before anv development. Therefore
all costs resulting from urban development in West St. Paul
are that city's responsibility.
BARR Engineering, the WMO consultant, has estimated the
approximate proportion of West St. Paul responsibility. The
findings are very disappointin� for our city. West St. Paul
greatly benefits from the holding pond in the golf course
that was constructed in 1978. If'the WMO had been in �lace
at that time West St. Paul would have paid for the entire
cost of constructing the pond. Instead Mendota Heights paid
for it. There is no method available for Mendota Heights to
recoup any of these past expenses.
0
After giving West St. Paul credit for its "allowable flow��
and credit for all detention basins which West St. Paul water
passes through, the net effect is to reduce the West St. Paul
level of participation to something around 8� of the
construction costs (probably less). Assuming West St. Paul
contributes approximately $50,000 there is still $952,000
which must be covered by city funds.
Funding Source- Assessments
Assessments could be used to capture the cost of the
improvements. Assessments were used to cover the Ivy Falls
creek im�rovements which were constructed back in 1978. In
that pro�ect a high benefit area and a low benefit area were
created. Those properties located directly adjacent to the
creek who had the most to gain, were assessed $.25 per
square foot of property. Those properties further upstream
only contributed $.03 per square foot. If the assessment
method was used to fund this project, those properties which
paid assessments for the 1978 project would be exempt from
any assessments under this pro�ect.
The only problem with assessing the cost of the storm sewer
is that it is difficult to prove benefit to those properties
located upstream of the creek. Recent court cases have
reinforced the idea that property can only be assessed up to
the amount of the increase in ma.rket value of the property.
It could prove difficult to show an increase in value on
properties located 1/2 mile from the creek. For this reason
it could �rove risky trying to assess all those properties
which drain into the Ivy Creek system.
In order to calculate a possible assessment rate the
following assumptions and estimates were made:
--West St. Paul contributes only $50,000.
--Assessments are used to cover 100� of the rema.ining cost
--A high/low benefit rate structure is used
--17.5 acres of land qualifies as high benefit (see map #1)
--220 acres of land qualifies as low benefit
Map #2 of Appendix A shows the total drainage district and
the area that would be assessable if a new project was
completed (remember that areas previously assessed could not
be assessed again).
Given these assumptions, assessment rates for the two types
of area were calculated as follows:
BENEFITTING AR.EA ASSESSMENT R.ATE AVERAGE COST PER LOT
High Benefit
Low Benefit
$.35 per sq. ft.
$.08 per sq. ft.
10
$11,600 per lot
$1,280 per lot
One enhancement which I would recommend exploring further if
assessments are to be used, would be to spread assessments in
High Benefit areas based on area contributing and FRONTAGE ON
THE CREEK. This would spread the costs based on frontage
protected from erosion, as well as area contributing.
If this alternative was chosen, a possible rate structure
might be $0.15 per square foot of area (compared to $0.35 for
just area assessment), and $25.00 per foot of creek frontage.
Such a program would yield approximately the same revenue
stream as an all area assessment. If assessments are to be
used, this technique could be refined.
Funding Source- General Fund Money
Another option listed is that of using city General
Fund money to cover a�ortion of the assessments. This
option was used to a limited extent in the 1978 project.
Given the size of the proposed project, this option is not
feasible except perhaps as a cost r�duction method. The
argument could be made that this project benefits a very
significant portion of the city,�and therefore general city
funds should be used. However, this is contrary to the
city's standard assessment procedure.
If this method was chosen as a partial funding method, the
amount of participation could be any amount. One level of
participation which would have some validity would be to fund
the cost of handling the ALLOWABLE FLOW from West St. Paul.
Remember that the allowable flow is the flow rate that West
St. Paul can pass through our city without any penalty
because it is considered the base flow before development.
The approximate proportion of the project cost which goes to
handle this Allowable Flow would be about $125,000.
Funding Source- Storm Water Utility
The forth option listed is the idea of creating a City-wide
Storm Water Utility Program. This option is discussed in
detail in a separate proposal. Briefly, a storm water
utility program would treat storm water much like the
sanitary sewer utility, with quarterly billings based on
"usage" or impact on the system. The proposal suggests that
the entire city be included in the utility program, with a
goal of funding improvements, repairs, and maintenance to the
existinq storm sewer system. -
As it relates to this project, if�a Storm Water Utility was
set up, there would be several different ways to ca�ture the
cost of this project. The most obvious way of funding the
�roject with this method would be to include the project cost
in with all other costs for ma.intaining and operating the
il
storm sewer system, then set city-wide utility rates based on
the amount of precipitation run-off for each property in the
city. Therefore the creek improvement would be considered an
over-all city storm sewer system improvement, and all
properties of a given type would pay the same rate (with no
extra charges to owners on the creek).
Another possible scenario would be to charge those properties
located along the creek a rate which would cover the benefit
received as if the project was assessed. The result would be
a quarterly utility charge to abutting properties in the
range of $250 per guarter. This rate would be roughly
equivalent to a $10,000 assessment.
A utility program avoids the pitfalls of the assessment
process. If the program is set up properly, then there is no
basis for a legal challenge, and no need to formally
substantiate market value benefit. Also properties which
could not normally be assessed, like golf courses and
cemeteries, can be included in a utility program.
Fundin,g Source- Combinations
The final option listed actually has ma.ny different
possibilities. All or some of the different funding sources
could be used together. The two that seem the most logical
would be either General Fund/Assessments, or Storm Water
Utility/Assessments.
If the General Fund was used to cover the cost of handling
West St. Paul's Allowable Flow, the cost to the city would be
somewhere around $125,000. This would reduce the assessment
rate to the 220 acres in the Low Benefit area down to a more
acceptable rate of about $.055 from $.08. The High Benefit
properties would still be assessed the $0.35 per square foot.
The other combination of funding methods that seems
attractive would be Storm Water Utility/Assessments. This
combination would entail assessing the High Benefit area at
the rate proposed earlier of $.35 per square foot. The
Low Benefit properties would not be assessed at all. Instead
the Storm Water Utility Fund would fund all additional costs
and spread the costs city-wide, on the logic that this is a
re�ional improvement. The rates proposed in the Storm Water
Utility Program would then be applicable.
CONCLUSION
The Ivy Falls Creek drainage System has suffered serious
erosion problems. In the future it can only get worse, and
eventually a severe storm could cause extensive property
damage. To solve this problem the flow rate and velocity
12
4
must be reduced, and the banks of the creek must be
protected. The best solution appears to be a series of
gabion structures in the creek bed for creek protection, and
enlargement of the detention capacity of the pond in ivy Hill
Park.
This solution is estimated to cost $1,011,000 to construct.
These costs can be recaptured via cost sharing, General
Fund expenditures, Assessments, a Storm Water Utility
Program, or a combination of these options.
The best funding option a�pears to be the combination of
Assessments and a Storm Water Utilitv Program. This funding
method would involve assessing those properties directly
adjacent to the creek for approxima.tely 25� of the project
cost based on contributing area, creek frontage, or both.
The remaining 75� would be covered by cost sharing with West
St. Paul, and a city-wide Storm Water Utility Program.
The details of a Storm Water Utility Program and its many
benefits are discussed in a separate report entitled: "Storm
Water Utility Program Proposal".

STORM WATER UTILITY PROPOSAL
PROBLEM DEFINITION
Mendota Heights has a very extensive storm sewer system
which includes storm pipe, holding ponds, drainage ways,
creeks, drop structures, and dams. The total value of these
public assets is well over $20,000,000. This system needs to
be maintained, repaired and upgraded just like any other
utility.
With the advent of Watershed Management Organizations, it has
become necessary for the city storm sewer system to meet
higher quality and quantity standards. A city storm system
must protect the public health and property, minimize
erosion, and ma.intain the natural environment. The 1990's
promise to be the decade of increased environmental
protection. As a result, storm sewer systems will require
significant enhancements.
The city storm sewer sxstem has been constructed over the
years in conjunction with development projects and
rehabilitation projects. As the city reaches its full
development potential, it is becoming evident that several
portions of the city system do not meet today's standards, or
are in need of improvement. The Water Management Plan
currently being prepared by BARR En�ineering discusses
several areas of the city that are in need of storm sewer
improvement. Ivy Creek, Friendly Marsh, Ma.rie Creek,
Interstate Valley Creek,�and the industrial park, are all
areas which need some attention.
Storm water quality is an area where Mendota Heights may need
to make significant improvements. New State regulations
could require improvements to existing holding ponds and
creation of new ones, as well as other environmental
projects. Mendota Heights has no method in place for funding
these impending projects.
The problem for Mendota Hei�hts will be how to fund the
increasing cost of maintaining, repairing and improving the
system. In the past, assessments have been used to cover the
cost of storm sewer improvements. Often storm sewer
improvements were part of new developments, so the question
of who pa�s was not so difficult. Storm sewer improvement
projects in developed areas will require public hearings and
assessments based on benefit.
Recent court decisions indicate that the city must
demonstrate a benefit to all assessed property owners. This
is increasingly difficult when dealing with properties on the
upstream end of a storm sewer project. In 1978 the city was
2
4
challenged by 4 property owners in the Ivy Creek Stage I
repair project; the city settled these challenges out of
court. Showing benefit on storm pond im�rovements, silt
basin construction, or enhancement of existing storm sewer
pipe systems could be very trying, but necessary if
assessments are to be used to cover the cost of future storm
sewer improvements.
Many cities facing these problems and the problem of an ever
tightening budget, have developed new ways of addressing
storm water issues.
PROPOSED SOLUTION
The solution that has worked exceptionally well for ma.ny
cities is the creation of a Storm Water Utility Program. A
Storm Water Utility allows cities to charge a"user fee" to
finance storm sewer maintenance, reconstruction, and
improvements.
The concept is based on the idea that storm water disposal
service is being provided by the city to convey storm water
from individual parcels of property. A user fee can be
charged for this service. Such a fee can be based on the
size and type of property served. Thus, a large industrial
or high density �arcel with high percentages of impervious
surface area, which is putting the heaviest dema.nd on the
system, would pay much greater proportion of the total cost.
To better demonstrate some of the many benefits of a storm
water utility, the following list is provided.
1) A utility is based on usage, so properties pay based on
demand.
2) Tax exempt properties, which can not be assessed, CAN be
included in a utility program. Thus cemeteries, schools,
churches, golf courses, and other tax exempt parcels
would all pay for their fair share.
3) Assessment hearings, and all of the difficulties
associated with proving benefit, are eliminated. Instead
the Council must hold a public hearing on the creation of
the utility, then make sure the utility is run fairly and
equitably.
4) The rates of the utility can be adjusted up or down based
on the needs of the city.
5) The city storm sewer system has
source of funding, which insures
system.
3
a constant and reliable
adequate upkeep of the
6) The fees for a storm water utility could be collected
with the sanitary sewer billings, making for relatively
easy implementation.
7) Taxes could be reduced because the utilitx would pick up
the current costs of maintaining and repairing the
system. Single familv home owners would see the greatest
savinQs both as a result of the tax reductions and
elimination of future tax increases. The inclusion of
tax exempt properties and participation based on usage
both have the effect of helping out single family
home-owners.
The disadvantages of a storm water utility are chiefly those
associated with setting one up. First, the staff time
involved in researching and preparing a utility would be
significant. Approxima.tely 200 hours in staff time would be
spent just in setting up the program. The cost to administer
the utility program once it went into operation would be
about $2,000 per year. The second major difficulty in the
preparation process would be the public hearing and potential
negative reaction.
The extra costs to set u� and administer the program could be
recaptured immediately via the program itself. The
difficulties with negative �ublic response could be minimized
by providing ample information to the public about the
program. The potential tax benefits of this program could be
stressed as well as the relatively modest cost to single
family home-owners.
To find out what the cost would be to the public, a study of
the expected costs over the next 10 years was completed, and
a formula for division of costs was developed.
Appendix I shows the expected present and future annual
expenses, and the expected capital improvement expenses over
the next ten years. The result is that the city will need
about $193,000 per year to cover the operation and
improvement of the storm water system. This money could be
raised via the general tax levy and a number of assessment
hearing procedures, or it could be recaptured using a storm
water utility.
To see what the cost would be to individual properties of
varying types, Appendix II was �repared. This Appendix
deve�ops a formula for determining rates based on the impact
each land use has on the storm sewer s�rstem. The Run Off
Potential and the Base Charge are multiplied to give the
quarterly rate for each type of land use. Rates are per acre
or per unit, depending on what method makes more sense. The
results of Appendix II calculations yield the following Run

of storm water run off the higher the run off coefficient.
The charge per acre is simply the ROP multiplied by $5.75
(the Base Charge). Since large single family parcels are
essentially a homesite plus undeveloped land (which isn't
charged anything), it was assumed that all single family lots
are identical.
Undeveloped land would not be charged anything in this plan.
This is based on the idea that undeveloped land has never
created a need for storm sewer im�rovements; before
development storm sewer was nonexistent. This way of
thinking is also very practical when setting up a billing
system.
So under this plan a home owner would pay $5.75 per quarter,
and this amount would simply be shown on an extra line of the
�3arterly sewer bill. A five acre industrial site would pay
45.00 each quarter.
To get an idea how this proposal compares to other cities,
the following table is presented:

* This proposal assumes multi-family developments would be
assessed on a per unit basis, but for comparison purposes
5
it was assumed that the average multi-family development
has a density of 8 units per acre.
Given the current development of the city, a utility program
based on the above figures would yield approximately
$195,000 in revenues to the city each year. The growth of
the city would increase the yearly revenues, hopefullx
resulting in no need to ever increase the proposed utility
charges.
The rate structure shown above is only one of ma.ny
possibilities. For instance, if assessments were used to
finance some of•the capital improvement projects, despite the
difficulty in doing so, the yearly cost to maintain and
operate the storm sewer system might be lowered from $193,000
to $150,000. This would drop the residential rate from $5.75
to $4.50, and the other rates by a proportional amount. The
point is that a storm water utility program is flexible and
adjustable, as long as the program is fair and justifiable.
Given high cost of the Ivy Falls Creek �roject and the
flexibility of this plan, one other option would be to use a
higher rate structure for all the properties along the creek.
Since these properties all receive significant benefit from a
project im�roving the creek, and since the creek will be an
ongoing maintenance problem, a higher utility charge could be
justified. There are two ways this higher rate could be
structured.
1) A somewhat higher rate (100-300� increase for instance)
could be implemented for all properties immediately
abutting the creek. Properties adjacent to the pro�ect
that weren't assessed in previous creek projects could be
assessed too.
2) Instead of assessing the properties along the creek where
the proposed project takes place, these properties could
partici ate in the utility program at a NNCH higher rate
(up to �$300 per guarter).
PROGR.AM IMPLEMENTATION
If the Council wishes to proceed with this proposal or
something similar, the next step would be program development
and implementation.
Bef�re implementing the program, it must be fully designed
and developed, taking into account any changes the Council
may desire. Once an acceptable program is designed, the
public should be informed and educated about the program.
Possible methods include brochures, press releases,
announcements, CATV presentation, and a Public hearing.
0
Once the public ha� been informed, and public input gathered,
final changes can be made, then Council would need to enact
policie� ta implement �he �rogram. By Spring of 1993 the
program could be in operatzon.
Tmportant policy decisions would include rate structures,
total revenue goals, non-payment penaltie�, and waivers or
credits for on-site storm sewer improvements.

APPENDIX II
RATE CALCIILATIONS
Determining the storm water utility rate structure for various sizes
and types of properties must include an analysis of the demand each type of
property places on the storm sewer system. To do this the types and
quantities of different land uses have to be tabulated. The various types
of land use are categorized based on different storm water run off poten-
tials. Here are the results: •

The next step is to determine the run off potential (ROP) for each
type of property. The ROP is based on the run off coefficient (C) and the
rainfall intensity index (i) for the type of land use. The run off coeffi-
cient (C) determines how much water sinks into the ground and how much runs
off into a storm system. It is' a function of the amount of hard surface.
The rainfall intensity index (i) determines how fast the water runs into
the storm system. It is a function of slopes, and type of land use.

After determining the run off potential (ROP) the formula for deter-
mining the rate structure for each category can be developed. Various ba�e ,
charges can be tried until a formula is created which yields the desired
quarterly revenue. �`
RATE = ROP * Base Charge
The base charge is multiplied by the ROP of each category to determine
the correct rate.
For determining the rate for single family units it is assumed that
all single family lots in the City are 1/3 of an acre in size. This
assumption is justified by the fact that large lots generally have signifi-
cant portions which are undeveloped land. Undeveloped land doesn't
contribute to the'need for storm sewer so it should not be chargedfor the
utility.
Multi-family parcels average approximately 8 units per acre. Since it
is much easier to deal with number of units, the rate structure for multi-
family should be converted to a per unit rate similar to the single family
rate.
The results of these conversions yield the following:
� S.F. Rate = R.O.P. * Base Charge * Acres/Unit
= 3 * Base Charge * 1/3
= Base Charge
Multi-family Rate = R.O.P. * Base Charge * Acres/Unit
= 8 * Base Charge * 1/8
= Base Charge
As can be seen, the per unit cost for single and multi-family units
works out to the Base Charge. The resulting rate structure will as fol-
lows : -�

CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS
January 29 , 1992
T0: Mayor, City Council and City Administ
FROM: James E. Danielson and Tom Knuth
Public Works Director Senior Engineering Technician
SUBJECT: St. Peter's Church/Pilot Knob Road •�
Streets and Utilities - Feasibility Hearing .
Job No. 8420B
Improvement No. 84, Project No. 2B
INTROD'UCTION•
This feasibility report is an updated, revised version of a
May 1991 report in which sanitary sewer and watermains to serve St.
Peter's Church and the City of Mendota were discussed. Since
Council received and approved that Ma.y 1991 report the staging of
the Mendota Interchange project has changed considerably. Stage I
construction of Highway 13 will now stop short of Highway 55
because of conflicts with the bridge over the railroad. Deleting
this segment from Stage I will prevent the City from connecting the
watermain and providing water service to St. Peter's Church as part
of Stage I.
The project has also been expan�led to include watermain and
streets on Acacia Boulevard and storm sewer and streets on Pilot
Knob Road from Mendota Heights Road to Acacia Boulevard. As a
result of these additions•many more landowners are affected and
assessments need to be considered for them (see attached map).
DISCIISSION•
The Stage I construction of the Mendota Interchange will still
serve St. Peter's Church with a gravity sanitary sewer to Mendota,
but the watermain installed will not be pressurized until Stage II
construction completes a connection to active mains at Acacia
Boulevard and Pilot Knob Road. St. Peter's Church can immediately
hookup to sanitary sewer or wait until water is available, at their
option.
On Pilot Knob Road and Acacia Boulevard, Dakota County has
decided to completely upgrade the streets and add storm sewer from
Mendota Heights Road to Highway 55, with 45°s of these costs to be
charged to the City. It is proposed to assess the City's share of
the street costs to the abutting properties and assess a nominal
storm sewer area charge to contributing drainage areas not
previously assessed for storm sewer. Also, property on Acacia
"��' Boulevard and Pilot Knob Road adjacent to new sanitary sewer and
watermain would be assessed for those facilities.
Because Mn/DOT intends to charge the City for a substantial
portion of the trunk storm sewers, it is proposed that City Tax
Increment Financing (T. I. F. ) funds pay for all costs not covered by
��
.. ., .: .� �
the area storm sewer assessments. That figure is not known at this
time because negotiations with Mn/DOT over reducing the City's
share are continuing. T.I.F. is also proposed to be used to pay
for cemetery, other unassessable frontages, watermain oversizing,
and storm sewer costs on previously assessed properties. The
following chart shows the anticipated City cost split between
T.I.F. and assessed properties. Also note that the City watermain
project for Pilot Knob Road, north of Acacia Boulevard, will be
postponed to Stage II.

* If Mn/DOT charges for storm sewer are reduced, these figures
will be lower.
Proposed assessment rates are $30.00 per front foot for
streets (the same rate assessed to Pilot Knob Road property south
of Mendota Heights Road on a previous project), $0.06 per square
foot for storm sewer, $28.00 per front foot for watermains, and
$22.00 per front foot for sanitary sewer with an additional trunk
charge of $0.033 per square foot for all property served by the
gravity line flowing into Mendota (see attached estimated
assessment chart).
Mn/DOT is currently negotiating with Soo Line Railroad to
purchase their right-of-way in the area of the Mendota Interchange
Project. The impact of this becoming a reality is that Mn/DOT
would be able to eliminate several bridges and change street grades
and storm sewer depths. These changes could lead to some reduction
in the City's share of storm sewer costs. If Mn/DOT and Soo Line
are able to come to an agreement, there would be many design
changes and the letting of Stage I contracts would be delayed until
August, thus pushing the completion of Stage I into 1993. Since
T.I.F. is proposed to pay for a large percentage of the City's
share of the project, costs to property owners are not expected to
change.
It is our intention to invite Mn/DOT to our March 18, 1992
Council meeting to provide us with an update on the overall Mendota
Interchange Project. The feasibility hearing for this project will
logically follow the presentation made by Mn/DOT.
RECONIl�iENDATION •

This project is feasible from both the technical and financial
standpoint given the T.I.F. assistance. We recommend ordering the
required public hearing and proceeding with the project.

Public Works D' tor
SUBJECT: Snow Plowing Policy
DISCiTSSION•
After the Halloween Snow Storm, Council discussed the City's
snowplowing methods with several residents. As a result of those
discussions it was decided that the City should establish a
formal written snow plowing policy. I have worked with Tom
Olund, Public Works Superintendent and Dave Sorby, Street Depart-
ment Leadperson, to draft the attached proposed policy for
Council review and approval.
In drafting this policy I first contacted our adjoining
cities to try and obtain copies of their policies, none of them
had any. We then contacted the League of Minnesota Cities and
they furnished us with several policies that we used as a start-
ing point for preparing ours.
The Mayor also obtained a copy of the City of Oakdale's
snowplowing policy. Oakdale is a community of similar size to
Mendota Heights with approxima.tely the same number of miles of
street and number of cul-de-sacs. The cities are similar in
using four (4) main plow routes however, Oakdale devotes more
resources to their snowplowing effort. For example, they have 8
more employees available for plowing, and they use two loarge
front-end loaders to clear their cul-de-sacs.
Based on our review of snowplow operations in other cities,
there are a several ways to consider improving Mendota Heights'
plowing response:
1. We should add another truck and plow that would be held
in reserve. There are always mechanical problems that
occur when plowing streets and now with four main line
routes, the City only has four plowing rigs and no
longer has a reserve plow. The two Ford trucks and
plows are now 12 years old, we will budget for one
replacement truck next year and then keep the existing
one as a backup.
" � •
2. Cul-de-sacs are best cleared by using loaders. We have
been using 4 wheel drive pickups with plows mounted
because they are the least expensive way to clear cul-
de-sacs. They are also faster on the road than loaders
and for a community as spread out as ours, we need to
be able to get from one cul-de-sac to the next as
quickly as possible. We will budget to add one loader
in the 1993 budget at which time Council can decide if
they desire to improve the City's cul-de-sac snow
removal ability by adding a loader.
RECONIl�2ENDATION •
I recommend that the City adopt the
policy. Snowplow equipment improvements
during 1993 budget discussions.
ACTION REQIIIRi3D •

Council needs to review and discuss the attached snowplowing
policy and if they desire to implement the staff recommendation,
pass a motion adopting the policy.

SNOW PLOWII�7G POLICY
INTRODIICPION
The City of Mendota Heights believes that it is in the best
interest of the residents for the City of Mendota Heights to
assume basic responsibility for controlling snow and ice on City
streets. Reasona.ble ice and snow control is necessary for rou-
tine travel and emergency services. The City will provide such
control in a safe and cost effective manner, keeping in mind
safety, budget, personnel and environmental concerns. The City
will use City employees and equipment.
W�i WILL CITY START SNOW OR ICB CONTROL
The Public Works Superintendent or his designated represen-
tative will determine when to begin snow or ice control opera-
tions. The criteria for that decision are:
A.
B.
C.
D.
E.
Snow removal of two (2) inches or more will begin as soon as
possible after the snowfall ends.
Drifting of snow that causes problems for travel.
Removal of extraordinary snowfalls will be conducted in such
a fashion as to restore City'mobility as soon as possible.
Icy conditions which affect travel.
Time of snowfall in relationship to heavy use of streets.
HOW SNOW WILL B$ PLOW�?
Snow will be plowed in a manner so as to minimize any traf-
fic obstructions. The center of the roadway will be plowed
first. The snow shall then be pushed from left to right. The
discharge shall go onto the boulevard area of the street. When a
plow goes on a bridge, the driver shall slow down so that snow
does not go over the bridge if possible. In times of extreme
snowfall, streets will not always immediately be able to be
completely cleared of snow. Plowing of cul-de-sacs will start at
the same time as the streets and be completed along with them.
SNOW RSL�+�OVAL
The Public Works Superintendent or the Road & Bridge Lead-
person will determine when snow will be removed by truck from the
area. Such snow removal will occur in areas where there is no
room on the boulevard for snow storage and in areas where accumu-
lated piles of snow create a hazardous condition. Snow removal
operations will not commence until other snowplowing operations
have been completed. Snow removal operations may also be delayed
depending on weather conditions, personnel and budget availabili-
ty. The snow will be removed and hauled to a snow storage area.
The snow storage area will be located so as to minimize environ-
mental problems.

The City has classified City streets based on the street
function, traffic volume, and importance to the welfare of the
community. Those streets classified as "snow plow routes" will
be plowed first. These are high volume streets which connect
ma.jor sections of the City and provide access for emergency fire,
police�and medical services. The streets listed below will be
plowed first. �
A. Snow Plow Routes South of Highway 110
Mendota Heights Road
Decorah Avenue
Huber Drive
Lake Drive
Wagon Wheel Trail
B. Snow Plow Routes North of Highway�110 (Middle Area
Marie Avenue
Freeway Road (Frontage Road)
Victoria Curve
C. Snow Plow Routes North of Highway 110 North Area
Chippewa Avenue
Sylvandale Road
Maple Park Drive
Emerson Avenue
Other major roadways in the City are under the jurisdiction
of either the State of Minnesota or Dakota County and are plowed
in accordance with their specific snow removal policies.
WORK SC'�IILl3 FOR SNOWPLOW OPF�RAT�ORS
Work schedules for City maintenance employees assigned to
operate snow removal equipment are in accordance with the most
recent public works labor agreement.
Snowplow operators are typically expected to work nine hour
shifts. However, in severe snow emergencies, operators may be
required to work in excess of nine hour shifts. To help insure
safe operations of snow removal operators will take a fifteen
minute break every two hours with a half hour meal break after
four hours.
:I�i•
Snow and ice control operations may be delayed or suspended
when weather conditions severely jeopardize the safety of City
employees and equipment. Factors that may delay snow and ice
control operations include severe_cold, significant winds and
limited visibility.

• MEMO
J nuary 31, 1992
y Cou '1 and City Administ a
Danie ublic Works Director
T Cooperative Agreement-Trunk Highway 13/I-35E
Mn/DOT plans to widen and replace the Trunk Highway 13
Bridge over I-35E this summer. In conjunction with the bridge
widening the Trunk Highway 13 approaches will be widened and
improved, Victoria Road will be realigned and the on-off ramps to
I-35E will be improved.
As part of this project some of the City's utilities will be
affected, watermain and sanitary sewer will need to be lowered on
Victoria Road and watermain will need to be insulated or lowered
along Trunk Highway 13. The State is required to fund the
utility corrections on Victoria Road because those utilities are
not within State right-of-way, however, the City's watermain
along Trunk Highway 13 is there on permit. The permit requires
that the City fund any alterations required for any reason.
The City was faced with a similar situation when the Happy
Hollow Bridge was replaced`further north on Trunk Highway 13. At
that time the City had watermain and sanitary sewer hung on the
bridge. We had to pay to relocate these utilities down the
ravine. As a result of that experience we began a utility
replacement fund to pay for these costs in the future. The
attached agreement provides for the City to fund up to $16,925 of
watermain insulation and alteration costs, there is an ample
amount of money within the Utility Replacement Fund to cover the
costs.
RECONIl��lENDATION •
I recommend that the City participate with the State in
insulating the watermain along Trunk Highway 13 so that Trunk
Highway 13 can be widened and improved this summer. Funding for
the project to come from the City's Utility Reserve Fund.
ACTION REQIIIRED:

appointment are:
PlanninQ Commission
Ul tan Duggan -� �
Sandra Krebsbach -- 2
Sharon Koll
Parks Commission
John Huber �' Z
Mike Lundeen
All five of the Commission members have indicated their desire
to be re-appointed.
ACTION REQIIIRED
If Council so desires, they should pass a motion re-appointing
Ultan Duggan, Sandra Krebsbach and Sharon Koll to the Planning
Commission and John Huber and Mike Lundeen to the Parks and
Recreation Commission, each for another term beginning
February 1, 1992.

CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS
ME1"IO
' January 31, 1992
TO: Mayor, City Council, City Admini r
FROM: Kathleen M. Swanson
City Clerk
SUBJECT: Council Meeting Schedule
INFORMATION
Five of the regularly scheduled 1992 Council meetings
conflict with scheduled election dates. The purpose of this memo
is to inform Council of those dates and request direction on
rescheduling.
DISCUSSION
Dates scheduled by state statute for 1992 election processes
are as follow:
Precinct Caucus March 3
Presidential Primary April 7
School District Election May 19
State Primary Election September 15
General and City Election November 3
Public bodies may not convene on the evening of the Precinct
Caucus date. There is no alternative but to reschedule the
Council meeting to another evening. It is suggested that the
meeting be rescheduled for either Wednesday, March 4th or
Thursday, March 5th. If these dates are not workable, the
meeting could be scheduled for Tuesday, March 10th or the fifth
Tuesday, March 31st.
On election dates, Council is restricted only from convening
before 8:00 P.M. In past years, Council has met at 8:00 P.M. on
School District election dates. Neither City facilities nor City
staff are involved in the School District election process. It
is recommended that the May 19th meeting be rescheduled to
convene at 8:00 P.M. on that date.
The scheduling of Council meetings on the same dates as the
other elections presents some logistical problems, however none
of the problems are insurmountable. With respect to the
Presidential Primary, City Hall currently serves as the polling
place for Precinct 6, and will be used as the polling place for
this election. Although the large conference room was largely
inadequate for the 1990 elections, it should acceptably
accommodate what I anticipate will be an extremely small turnout
for the Presidential Primary. If Council chooses to conduct its
meeting at 8:00 P.M., I will schedule the conference room for
election use. Other options would be to reschedule the Council
meeting to Wednesday, April 8th, or Thursday, April 9th. It
should be acknowledged that all of the precincts are required to
bring their election returns and materials to City Hall for final
processing after their responsibilities are completed. While
this may result in some congestion and noise in the lobby area
during a Council meeting held on election night, staff and the
judges would make every effort to minimize the impact.
Consideration of the rescheduling of the meetings discussed
above is of the highest priority, since all will occur in the
relatively near future. Although it is not as necessary to
consider rescheduling of the September and November meetings at
this time, Council should be apprised of the conflict. If it is
Council's desire to maintain its meeting schedule on those two
dates (other than starting times), an early indication to staff
would be appreciated. We are in the process of preparing a
recommended election redistricting plan, which will include
