PUBLIC WORKS SUPERVISOR SUBJECT: TORO PARKMASTER In June of 19?4, A Toro Parkmaster seven unit hydraulic reel � mower tractor was bought for the Park Dept. at a cost of $8,7 . This piece of equipment was financed from the Park Board �znd as ;� most of you know. - t- � - � ' I originally had anticipaied very well groomed, well fertiliZ d, well maintained lawn areas. Our plans concerning this �ype o m�intainence eventually did not materialize because of budget r:onies severely being cut back due to the state ceiling. It as ��ur consensus that this area of grounds grooming could be cut back and still not sacrifice our Parks to the extent that our residents could not use them. The end result was a quality o � turf considerably less than found on most golf courses. It is my belief that the policy of having a"Highly groomed p rk" versus a"General maintainance park!' is long to be desired, d the present policy of general grooming will stay in effect fo quite some time. Havi.ng gone with the "General type of groom g" for the past two or three years; we find that our park turf c nsists of some grass, and of many many types of weeds. - ,-' .,_ The utilization of the Park Master has been a matter of conve sation amongst our city staff for over a.year. This piece of equipm nt' is not being utiliZed to it's fullest expectency in our Parks � as was intended, purely because it performs much better on a _. golf course type of turf rather then on the rougg iypes of te rain_ and weeds that we have in our Parks. Only 30 hours have been logged on the hour meter since the city has purchased this ma hine in 1974. The primary reason for not using this machine is th t` the'Park maintainence dept. prefers to use a rotary type lawn mower to achieve a well groomed appearance. The reel type ' mower can not achieve this type of appearance due to the grea amount of long tall weed types that we have in our parks. It is • my opinion that if we continue with this "General maintainenc �' � practice, there would be more of a need for a fleet of rotary ' type mowers than there would be for this�Park Master. _'"' ` - 1 , , . -` , -, - � ' '�` � • . ,. _2_ 0 e '' . With these reasons, it is my xecommendation along with the P rk Commissioners that it would be more practicle and feasible d e to the continuing depreciation of the Park Master each year, an due to the very little use that it is getti.ng, that you the Counc' ' consider as saan as possible, because of the right time of t year for resale, that we put �he Park Master up for sale and repla e it wa.th more practi.cle Park maintenance equipu�ent using the fund received fram the sale of the Park Master. •. .

J - Mendota Heights Village Council � riendota Heights Village Hall 75 a S. Plaza Drive' �lendota Heights Gentlemen: RE��jpEp AY 1 7 1977 May 16, 1 77 �' ; _ �' r•sany residents or Sur.tmerset Heights are concerned about e problem of excessive automobile traffic in the area, and we �aould like the Council to take measures to reduce the sp ed of this traffic. ' � Suru-nerset Heights is a triangle-shaped neighborhood boun ed by �7elaware Avenue, Dodd Road, and Emerson Avenue. The neighborhood is cut from east to west by Staples and i�sea s avenues ; neit}her Staples nor r�ears extends beyond Dodd R ad or Delaware Avenue. � Here is the problem as we see it: Staples Avenue is being used by a Iarge number of driver as a short cut to travel between Dodd Road and Delaware Ave ue. L'nfortunately, the street was not designed to safely han �e the ar.iount of traffic it now carries. The road is narrow and hilly, and several blind intersec ions and bushes seriously reduce visibility. In addition, there are nunerous s��all children playing i the area. A tennis court located at the intersection of Stap es and Su�nmerset Road further adds to the n umk�er of 'crildr n playing in that area . ' We believe that drivers using Staples as a through stree travel too fast for existing conditions. Therefore, ��e would like the Council �.o take the follou�i�g s-teps to reduce the possibility of an accident: - Place "Stop" signs at the appropriate ir_tersect�ions on Staples Avenue. � - Reduce the speed li mit on Staples Avenue irom 3� mph to 20 mph. T�le feel that these steps would not impede the flow of tr ffic through the area, and would add an important safety fact r now missing. q , Pec Jos�ph I�lmont 25 Dorset Road 0 � ` ' , , MEIER, KENNEDY & �UINN ` -- , . : r . , •^' _ .

MINNESOTA 55101 2 6-8844 r . . As per the letter you received from Dick Buell,' of Buell Bros. +Fl rists, and by this letter, I am requesting permission of the city to plant rees according to the plan submitied by Mr. Buell, as amended by his 1 tter, along Partition Street at its intersection with Spring Street, The reason for this, as I have advised you, is that since the openi g of Spring Street there has been much pedestrian and bicycle traffic a ross the pro;�erty of Ivy Keep, together with an increased amount of vandal'sm and malici�ous mischief. It is hoped that by planting trees, a natural b rrier ::r. .. . wil��ie effective in preventing the trespass and vandalism. Becau e of the hezght of unopened Partition Street, it would be the most effective lace for pTanting. There are 24 residents of Ivy Keep who would benefit by our attem t to beautify the neighborhood. -It-would also enhance those properties along Spring Street and those townhouses of Clapp Thomssen who have a iew of _ the area. i'��auld appreciate your early response since Mr. Buell has indic� tliey should be planted within the near future. .

Johnson, City Administrator Richard J. Thul, Police Chief Proposed Ordinance Regulating Skate Board Operation Attached is a draft of a proposed ordinance regulating the operation of kate boards in Mendota Heights. I asked Sherm Winthrop to draft the proposed ordin ce afer it became apparent that our City has a reputation in the Metropolitan area or having several excellent streets for skate boarding, in particular, Marie Avenu . , During last summer and fall, and again this spring, our Department has h contacts with individuals who were operating skate boards on the Marie A both east and west of Dodd Road. In nearly every case, the operators we sidents of Mendota Heights, but were from Minneapolis, St. Paul, Burnsvi On one occasion I personally spoke with 6 young men irom Burnsville who boarding on Marie Avenue and they told me they had heard about the great boarding hill on Marie Avenue at the Burnsville High School. They said been at many hills in the Metropolitan area, and Marie Avenue is the bes seen. d numerous enue hills e not re- le, etc. ere skate skate hey have they have On November 12, 1976 at 11:25 p.m. 4 young men from Inver Grove Heights ere skate boarding on Marie Avenue between Wachtler and Eagle Ridge Rd.� Thex were told by officers to cease operating on the street due to the darkness, and due t their .interference with vehicular traffic. One hour later, a check of the are disclosed that they had not ceased riding on the hill, and when approached again b the officers they �;�:came belligerent and argumentative, and said there was no law to revent them �+rom operating skate boards on any street or highway. One of the m n was isst:�{ a citation for failure to obey a lawful order of a police officer On May 9, 197? :°;dge John Daly found the defendant not guilty of failure to obey t e order, and ��z�z3 that because the order was not based on any violation of State Statute n�.-��3ty Ordinance it was not� a lawful order. That decision means that w have no ...._1,e�al right to remove skate board operators from any public street or hi hway in the _,,..;'_ity of Mendota Heights. A skate board is not a vehicle as defined in M'nnesota �tate Statutes and is, therefore, not subject to any of the laws governi g the op- -.��ation of vehicles on public roadways. � � Dne to these facts, I strongly believe we need this ordinance in order tc the use of skate boards, and prevent their interference with vehicular t� out these prohibitions we are going to have skate board operators and vei vy�.ng, for the use of the roads, and, in my opinion, the roads should be for vehicles r�ot objects that need not adhere to any rules or regulation: � regulate ' ffic.

The greatest benefit of such a facility would be o serve the commercial and industrial area and to a lesser degree, the res'dential development in this area. At the present time, the entire City is dependent on connections along Delaware Avenue. Several connections with the St. Paul and West St. Paul wa our grid system north of T.H. 110. The son�hwest corner of our supply mains feed system at Lexington and T.H. 110 is 21,800 feet or 4.13 miles from the la ge storage supply on Imperial Drive in West St. Paul. The multiple feed to xington and T.H. 110 provides a relatively reliable water source to that p int. The water supply south and west of Lexington and T.H. I10 is a single ine feed. The Pabst Meat plant is another 13,000 feet or 2.46 miles beyond L xington and T.H. 110. Additional mains and service area goes another 1,00 feet beyond Pabst. Of course, there are still many acres o£ undevelo: still fur�her from the supply. Any interruption, repair or work single feed line cuts off the water supply to any custoners (res ._ industrial) beyond the point of interruption. In order to provide a reliable source of water to the south� of Mendota Heights , it is recomsnended that an elevated �a_�}c be co: Lexitigton, south of Resurrection Cemetery, with Lhe understanding additional looping mains be constructed easterly to Dodd Road as � reauires. land lying this ntial or y portion tructed on hat veloAment Elevated Water Tank Financing -2- May 17, 1977 Three methods of financing the tank and site are available to for suclz a project: 1. A voted general obligation bond issue. 2. A G.O. bond where user revenues would be used to the payments and the tax levy is used as a backup. 3. A C'hapter 429 Improver.ient Bond issue where at least 200 of the cost is assessed. In an attempt to follow the simplest and most equitable metho suggested that an improvement bond proceeding be used, with at lea cost assessed through an area type assessment (similar to the truri and a surcharge placed on the City-wide water billings as received St. Paul. Since past practices have not included a tax levy to su minimal water system costs, any operating levy now would have to e. other current services. In view of this concept, with new obligat operating expenses, we need a new source of funds, related to the Hence t�'�e proposal to ins�itute a surcharge on all water used in M Heights.

A split assessment at about one-half that rate and a future hook-up charge based on type of building and its water use. (See � , Maplewood scheme.) 2. Set a future hook-up charge on R-pronerty and any r zoned property, around $200 per residence and $175 per apartment unit. 3. Establish a surcharge on all City water useage at , 10� of water billing. At the present, a typical residential water bill is about $100 annually. The surcharge would be about $10 per residence at this evel. 2'he`City will be incurring some operating expense for mainte ance and insurance and this has been estimated at $6,000 to $10,000 annual In addition to the storage tank, the City is in need of a p lic works �;�.rage which without available cash would have to be,financed thr gh a bond i,=�u� approved at a special election. Such a building is estimate to cost about $200,000 arid would be located on land purchased for the wate tank. 'Ithe City could redirect the $100,000 now held for the water projec into the p:��lic works garage and assign about 3 years revenue sharing towar s this kroject. This would provide about $200,000, and the bulk of the s'te work could be assigned against the water project. L. 5haughnessy O�J. Johnson a CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS MEMO May 17, 1977 TO: City Council FROM: Chet Pearson Public Works Inspector SUB3ECT: Surplus Public Works Equipment �, 0 As you are aware, we have received the new steel drum roller or the Public Works Department: a proposed resolution authorizing pa ent , is included in the agenda for consideration at tonight's Council rn eting. Z`he hor.te-made Public Works trailer used for hauling the old roller is not suitable for hauling the new roller. Since it is a tilt-bed trail r, the new roller won't climb the height of the bed when it is tilted. F r this reason, we have ordered a new trailer from General Welding fo $628.00, to be financed from the 1977 Public Works equipment alloc tion. By this memo, I am requesting and recommending that you decla, old trailer surplus equipment so that we may solicit informal bids', its sale. The approximate trailer value is $250 to �300. � -e the for � � CITY OF NiENDOTA HEIGHTS Dakota County, Minnesota RESOLUTION NO. 77- " � RESOLUTION ACCEPTING EOUIPMENT AND AUTHORIZING ,� PAYMEIQT WF�REAS, Resolution No. 77-19, adopted by the City Council of Mendota Heights on March 1, 1977, authorized the purchase of equipment for the maintenance of streets, parks and other public activities; and � i�REAS, said Resolution No. 77-19 authorized -�he exnendi portion of the unappropriated svrplus from flze 1976 finar_cial to support the equipment purchase; dnd WHEREAS, quotations were received for a portable air compres rollar and associated equipment, and the low quotes'were accepted a.
