Because of recent site grading, the severe storms during July and earl� August caused silt fram erasa.an on the prajects to be deposited on the Slowinski's praperty deep in the valley. Staff made a site visa.t this morning. It appears that Mr. Gryc has cor�e�ted his problem to the same standard as before the July 23 storm, so that storm water shauld run off onto his own proper�y and the golf course in �he future. Mr. Shaughnessy has indicated that he wi11 regrade the eroded area, put topsoil on the slapes, and seed. This will be done no later than September 15. The siltation onto the Slawinski's �ro�erty is in a remate location, where it will be very difiicu].t to completely repair the damage. If the Slowinski's con�inue to feel that something must be done, staff is of the opinion that it should be a private matter between them and the develapers. ACTION RE4UTRED: Review the Slowinski's letter and the staff response, giving any directian Cauncil may wish. KDF:madlr CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS r . . MEMO Augus� 17, 1987 T0: Ma or, City Council and City A i tor � y - � FROM: James E. Danie3.son Public Works Director SUBJECT: Woadridge Drive Feasibility Report DI5CUSSION• On Thursday eveni.ng, Augu�t 13, 1987, Mayor Mertensot�a and I met with many of the residents who live on Woadridge Drive along the Trunk Iiighway 13 bluff. As a result of the July 23rd storm large areas of the bluff which is located in their backyards slid down the slape onto the highway. The resz— dents were concerned for their homes and backyards so they had contracted Mn/DOT, District 9 to ask for assistance. Mn/DOT scheduled this meeting with their geologist and foundation engineers to expisin the siGuation. At the meeting Mn/DOT showed that the homes were not in any immediate cianger of siiding dawn the slape. Hawever,�there was the existing damage and the potential for future damage and the residents wanted those problems ad— ,dressed. - At the meeting Mn/D4T agreed to gartacipate in an equitable fashion to f und ccarrective actions, however the immediate problem was, that there was no engineer�.ng study to explain the situation and suggest a�ternatives fram which to proceed. Mayor Mertensotto and Mn/DOT agreed to join forces and complete a preliminary "broad brush" study ta define the prablem and suggest some possible courses of action. RECOMMENDATION• The Mayor and staff recammend that City Engineering staff be authari�ed to work with Mn/DOT staff to develop a feasibility repart addressing the Waadridge Drive storm damage problem. ACTION REQUIRED: If Council desires to implement the recommendation they shauld pass a mo�ian autharizing the report.

Danielson Public Works Director . • SUBJECT: Riverwood Apartments Water Connection DISCUSSION• Bisanz Brothers Development Corporation is planning on constructing a new 138 unit apartment building to be called Riverwood Apartments. These apartments are to be located on the western portion of the Sheily site adjacent to the Riverain Condominiums in Lilydale. Lilydale does not have a watermain in the area so Bisanz Brothers are requesting to connect to the Mendota Heights system (see attached letter). Mendota Heights has a resolution that addresses the calculations for a connection charge for out-of-City connections. I have made the following compu- tations based on that resolution: CONNECTION CHARGE $11/per front foot X•1.15 (out-of-City charge) X 504' of frontage =$ 6,375.60 plus 7% simple interest for 17 years = WAC CHARGE 1,586.96 ' $13,962.56 $200/unit X 138 units X 0.8 reduction for multiple units = $22,080.00 TOTAL = RECONII�IENDATION: $36,042.56 Staff recommends that Bisanz Brothers Development Corporation be allowed to connect to the City of Mendota Heights watermain subject to their paying the above stated connection and WAC charges. ' ACTION REQUIRED• If Council desires to implement the staff recommendation they should pass a � motion authorizing the Mayor to execute the St. Paul Water Utility Private Water- main Agreement (to allow a private fire hydrant) and allow staff to issue a water permit to Bisanz Brothers subject to payment of $36,042.56.

Plaza Drive Mendota Heights, MN. 55120 , Dear Jim: � I hereby request that the City of Mendota Heights allow our new 138 apartment project, The Riverwood Apartments� to hook up to the Mendota Heights water system. As you know� our project is in the City of Lilydale and has received final approval from that City, along with their agreement to us hooking up to Mendota Heights system. , We are in the final stages of negotiation with the Riverain Condominium people to use their existing pipes but if those negotiations fail we will have to go to Highway 13's lines. We would ask that the City Council action allow the Mayor to execute the Private Water Main Agreement which will be drafted by the Board of Water Commissioners of the City of St. Paul sometime in early September. If you feel I should attend the meeting or you wish further information please let me know. ; Thank you very much for your help in this matter. Sincerely, � � Michael P.

Councilmember Blesener seconded the motion. Ayes: 3 Nays: 0 CASE N0. 87-18, Mr. Richard Bjorklund and Mr. Leroy Hanson were present BJORKLUND/HANSON to request approval of the preliminary plat for the subdivision of 11.61 acres located west of Warrior Drive, north of T.H. 110. Mr. David Hansing, the project engineer, reviewed the proposed plat. There were Council questions and discussion over the bubble in the curb on Henry Circle and the release of right-of-way from the School District. Mayor Mertensotto expressed concern over the proposed building pad for Lot 21, stating that it is a possibility that Page No. 2147 August 4, 1987 someone might build a large home on the top of the hill, which he felt would not be conducive to development of the plat. Mr. Hanson stated that he and Mr. Bjorklund do not intend to sell the lots for development, but rather, thaL they intend to build all of the homes and will therefore have control over construction on the lot. He also stated that he and Mr. Bjorklund agree to the condition that no driveways will extend directly to Warrior Drive. Mayor Mertensotto asked Planning Commission Chairperson Morson why the Commission vote was four to two for approval. Mr. Morson stated that two members voted� against approval because they were concerned about the frontages and would like to see one lot removed to provide more frontage for the remaining lots. Councilmember Blesener stated that the frontages at the forty-five foot building setback range from 77 to 86 feet and felt that ten foot sideyards are not sufficient. She stated that there should be some way to establish control over the sizes of the homes in relation to the sidelots. Mr. Hansing stated that he has tried to retain as much of the wooded area as possible and that in the original plan there were the same number of lots with larger areas but they were not nearly so desirable. He stated that creating larger widths at the setbacks is not as simple as just removing a lot, that everything works within a system and that the plan is the result of lots of manipulating and moving the lot lines around. Councilmember Blesener stated that Lot 23 is really tight and that she is very concerned about the open space between structures. She also expressed concern over drainage. In response, Mr. Hansing explained the proposed solution to the drainage problem. ' Mr. Hansing stated that all of the lots exceed 15,000 square feet and many are very large. He stated that it would be an economic hardship to remove a lot and that � removal of a lot would cause a severe impact on the project. He felt that the proposed plat would provide beautiful homesites. Page No. 2148 August 4, 1987 Mr. Bjorklund stated that there will be a mix of housing styles including two-story homes which will be only 62 feet wide. He stated that the property is extremely difficult to work with because of the severe banks and the need to eliminate driveway entrances from Warrior Drive. He stated that it is necessary for him to keep 25 lots in the plat and that if he must redesign it to retain 25 lots he would have to propose 3 cul-de-sacs. He stated that he would much prefer to retain the proposed plat than to propose a plat with three cul-de- sacs and 100 foot frontages and 15,000 square foot lots. He pointed out that he and Mr. Hanson will be building all of the homes and that there are many ways to design houses to create space on the lot, that he does not want to stretch the homes out to ten feet from the sidelot �lines. Councilmember Blesener suggested that Council could ask the developers to provide covenants requiring an increased sideyard setback. She further suggested that action be tabled until the next meeting when the full Council will be present. Councilmember Witt arrived at 9:50 P.M. Councilmember Blesener moved to table the matter to the August 18th meeting. Councilmember Hartmann seconded the motion. Ayes: 4 Nays: 0 Staff was directed to research Council minutes relating to minimum setbacks in the Copperfield Additions. CASE N0. 87-19, Mr. Michael Halley was present to request approval of HALLEY variances for entrance monuments and a neighborhood playground area in Park Place. He stated that he would like to install brick and wrought-iron six foot tall entrance monuments, 50 feet from Wachtler. He also stated that his attorney will prepare an association agreement on ownership and maintenance of Lot 9 (playground area) and the entrance monuments and plantings around the monuments, the pond and the islands. In response to a question from Councilmember Witt, Mr. Halley stated that the association will be required to carry liability insurance for both the monuments and playground. There was considerable discussion over placement of the monuments. Mr. Morson reviewed the Planning Commission Ayes: 3 Nays: 1 Witt Ayes: 4 Nays: 0 Page No. 2149 August 4, 1987 discussion on the matter. After discussion, Councilmember Blesener moved that a variance be granted to install entrance monuments in the requested locations at a maximum height of five feet and on the condition that the developer agrees that no plantings in front of the monuments will exceed a mature growth of two feet. Councilmember Hartmann seconded the motion. Council acknowledged comments from Planner Dahlgren relative to the proposed playground area layout. Mayor Mertensotto pointed out that it should be stipulated that if the playground is not maintained, the City should have the authority to either order its maintenance or its removal. , It was Council consensus that the plat covenant must stipulate that the association will maintain the area or the City will have the right to request maintenance or removal. After discussion, Councilmember Blesener moved to accept the site plan as submitted and to approve the variances to allow construction of the accessory structures conditioned upon restrictive covenants, to be prepared by the developer and approved by the City Attorney, containing requirements for maintenance or removal of the facilities. Councilmember Hartmann seconded the motion. ATHLETIC COMPLEX Council acknowledged and discussed a report from Planner Dahlgren regarding plans submitted by Tandem Development relative to location of an athletic complex on the Riley property. Ayes: 4 Nays: 0 Councilmember Blesener moved to authorize staff to execute an agreement with Barton-Aschman for preparation of an evaluation of the loop-street plan submitted by Tandem and recommended by Planner Dahlgren, at a cost not to exceed $1,500. Councilmember Hartmann seconded the motion. � • Page No. 2150 August 4, 1987 MISCELLANEOUS Council acknowledged receipt of a letter from Mr. Ray Elias, 706 Cheyenne Lane, requesting a reduction in his quarterly sewer bill and an associated report and recommendation from the City Clerk. Mr. Elias, present for the discussion, stated that he has read and � support the recommendation. • Councilmember Hartmann moved water usage for 706 Cheyenne quarterly sewer billings. Councilmember Witt seconded Ayes: 4 Nays: 0 to use the summer quarter Lane as the basis for 1987 the motion. NO PARKING Council acknowledged and discussed a letter from Mr. & Mrs. Richard Koscielak and Mr. & Mrs. Rueben Karsten for no parking signs on Garden Lane, and an associated recommendation from the Police Chief. Ayes: 3 Nays: 1 Mertensotto COUNCIL COMMENTS ADJOURN Mayor Mertensotto stated that he believes the request is justified based on the situation but felt that it would be appropriate to restrict parking between the hours of 4 P.M. and 2 A.M., and to reconsider the request if that ban is not effective. He stated that he has spoken to Chief Delmont and that the Chief supports his suggestion. After discussion, Councilmember Blesener moved to authorize the posting of "No Parking" signs on both sides of Garden Lane from Highway 13 to a point approximately half way to Hiawatha. Councilmember Witt seconded the motion. Council acknowledged a memo from Public Works Director Danielson relative to the Mendota Interchange. Councilmember Blesener stated that there is erosion on Lexington Avenue close to the pond and asked that include this area in the storm damage report. Councilmember Hartmann asked for the timetable on completion of the house moved to Hiawatha and Chippewa and also the house on Knob Road.

Qzscusszorr; 1984, the Gity approved is�ue of $2,300,040 Bonds for Ralph Linvil's Dakota Business At the present time, the project has an opportunity to do a re�'unding of the issue at a reduced interest cost, and has asked the City to pass the attached resolutian approving the refunding. They anticipate completion af the projeet rafunding about mid-September. Qur City Attorney has reviewed the dacuments referred to in the resolution and finds them in proper form. The Issue �.nvo].ves no City liabi3ity for repayment. My one concern was whether the issue would be included in the City's $5,000,000 issue Iimit, which would require IRS reporting under Tax Raform Iegislation. I have been assured by Bond Caunsei that the issue wau3d be exempt fram the limitatian.

The basic payments to be made by the Company under the Loan Agreement are fixed so as to produce revenue sufficient to pay the principal of, premium, if any, and interest on the Bonds when due. It is further proposed that the City assign its rights to the basic payments and certain other rights under the Loan Agreement to First Trust Company, Inc., in St. Paul, Minnesota (the "Trustee") as security for payment of the Bonds under an Indenture of Trust dated as of September 1, 1987 (the "Indenture") and that the Company grant a mortgage and security interest in the Project to the Trustee pursuant to a Mortgage and Security Agreement dated September 1, 1987 (the "Mortgage").

Passed: September l, 1987 Mayor Attest ' City Clerk (SEAL) " CITY OF N�NDOTA HEIGHTS � 1 August 26, 1987 T0: Mayor, City Council and C��n,��"s ator FROM: Tom 01und Public Works Superintendent SUBJECT: Street Sweeping Job No. 8608 DISCUSSION: Due to the rainfall on July 23, 1987, we have had numerous complaints of mud, sand etc. on city streets. THese complaints are justified an� are not limited to any particular area, but scattered throughout the City. tJe would like to have a sweeper come in and do some clean up work through the entire City. We received bids this spring from three sweeping contractors and Knutson Kleen Sweep was the low bidder at $46.00 per hour. I called Knutson and they will be willing to use that same figure. A rough estimate would be 5-8 days of work at a cost of $1,800 -$2,760. There is still adequate money in the budget to cover this expense. RECOMMENDATION• Instead of rebidding staff recommends we extend Knutson Klean Sweep's original bid at $46.00 per hour to include this work. ACTION REQUIRED: Authorize staff to r��tify Knutson Kleen Sweep to do the work. CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS MEMO AUGUST 26, 1987 TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Kevin D. F,��, City Administrator �� SUBJECT: LMC Regional Meeting Issue Papers Attached is a memo and voting ballot from the League of Minnesota Cities concerning potential issues for the 1988 legislative session. I am bringing these to your attention so that Council can collectively determine its position, either to be voted at a regional meetin�, if anyone is attending, or mailed into the League prior to September 14. Some of the issues are philosophical in nature, and the position one chooses to take would likely reflect ones political biases. Others have somewhat more of a pragmatic component. Some are of little or no concern to Mendota Heights, while others affect us more directly. Knowing,that some of you are not as legislative issues as others, I am taking offering a few editorial comments, and an recommendation. However, Council should, free to disagree with me. COMMENTS ON SPECIFIC ISSUES close to state-wide the prerogative of occasional by all means, feel TAX INCREMENT FINANCING The current TIF legislative authority in the State of Minnesota is amon� the most liberal in the country. My �ersonal opinion isrthat the liberal legislation has resulted in too liberal use of the �rogram, and that it could be improved with some tightening up. However, I must confess that if that statement is made public, I will probably never again be allowed to attend a League convention! The position paper seems to be one of legislative °strategy rather than substance; in other words, it assumes that the existing tax increment legislation is something that ought to be preserved as much as possible. Within that context, I would be in favor of voting affirmatively, that the League should initiate legislation. I think that perhaps out of that process wauld come a more reasonable bill than is iikely ta be �nitiated by the legisla�ure itself. LOCAL GOVERNMENT ELECTION DAY City Clerk Kathy Swanson su�gests that we oppose the local government election day, since this would mean running an electian every year. The costs of an election in Mendota Haights run from $25-35,000. �.. The issue on voting equipment is of less concern to us i� we purchase the Optiscan equipment as recammended in the 1988 budget. However, in deference to other city officials who plan to continue using the older equipment, Kathy sug�ests that we vote yes, the League should oppose legislatian making that equipment obsolete. LAND USE LEGISLA,TION 1. Rec�uire The Creation Of A Separate Baard Of Ad�ustment. ,_ This would prabably be unnecessary in small cities like Mendata Iieightsj and I would favor voting na, ta preserve local option on this matter. 2. Changi.na Reauirement Of Undue Fiardship For Variances. - Being in favor of this change would validate our current practiaes!:! 3. Require Adaption Of Comprehensive Plan. -- This is a non- issue for metro area cities, which are already required to have a comprehensive pl.an under the Metro Land � Planning Act. 4. Prohibit The Practice Of Conditional Rezonina, - We wauld probably want to op�ase the prohibition, since it would take away some flexibility. It might also bring inta questian aur planned PUD zoning approach in the Southeast Area. 5. Requiring That Zonina Be Consistent With`The Comprehensive Plan. - My personal opinion i� to favor a requirement of consistency. Current state statutes for cities in the metropolitan area are frankiy a muddle, and no one is sure of the standing o�' the com�rehensive plan vis-a-vis the aoning contrals. While it �s tem�ting to be in favar of the added flexibility of not having to be consistent, I think that it leads to a 1ot af-aanfusing and esoteric discussions, and the public, if not even local officials, become very confused in the pracess. Requiring consistency would make elearer the legislative inten� of the City Council. 6. Extension 4f Subdivision Regulati.ans Beyond �+�tunicipal Baundaries. - This is a non-issue far mast metro area cities, including Mendota Heights. 7. Proposal On FrinQe Area Growth. = Also a non-issue for us. TRANSPORTATION FUNDING 1. etro ales Tax. = There are good arguments both pro and con on this issue. I tend to share the concern of many other metro area city officials that if there were a special metro area saurce of taxation, the metropolitan area would get less than its fair share of state funding. 2. Gas Tax Increase.- I have no opinion on this matter. 3. MVET TransferjDedication. - Given the chronic lack of highway funding, which affects projects like the Mendota Interchange, I would think we would want to be in favor of this. 4. Jurisdictional Reassignments. = I have no opinion on this one. 5. Chanqe In Road Fundinq. - Again, this issue is of minor concern to Mendot H iea ghts, and staff has no opinion or recommendation. HOMESTEAD CREDIT The homestead credit reforms enacted by the 1987 legislature are somewhat of a mixed bag for our communit�. Over the long-term, communities that have been conservative in ex�enditures, such as Mendota Heights, will probably be benefitted and supportive of the idea of severing the link between local expenditures and homestead tax credits. On the other hand, the "homestead value exemption" approach, which goes into effect with 1989 taxes, will definitely not be to our benefit. These proposals obviously are intended to benefit low value, high mill rate areas (i.e., greater Minnesota), at the expense of high value, low mill rate areas, (i.e., more property rich Twin Cities suburbs such as Mendota Heights). Based on our current mill rate, the new homestead value exemption will result in a credit for most Mendota Heights taxpayers of about $560, versus the current $700 credit under the homestead tax credit program. Since there are strong �ros and cons on both sides of this issue, staff has no definite recommendation which way we should vote. LEVY LIMTT LEGISLATION Staff has no stron� recommendation on this issue. Through skillful financlal management, Larry Shaughnessy has ke�t levy limits from being much of a problem for Mendota He�ghts over the past few years, Hawever, this is nat to say that they might not became a problem in future years, particularly should Cauncil decide that it wishe� to increase the level of services provided to the commu�ity. • Tn principle, levy limits would seem to be an intrusion on local autonomy, which most local officials sup�ort. Conversely, levy limits provide a goad external discipline to keep the budget under control, and to resist.pressures for increased spending. '� .. � Most importantly, perhaps is the issue outiined under the Na response in the League paper, eitinc� �he lec�i�lative stratec�y problem with trying to get levy limits eliminated at this time. Based on that, staff would recommend that we vote no. GTTY SERVICE CHARGES FOR TAX-EXEMPT PROPERTY Approximately 24� of Mendota Heights as�essed value is tax exempt, which is probably on the high side for a suburban community. Hawever, much of that exempt property (i.e., public schoals and Mn/DOT garage} would remain tax exemp� under the proposal. Staff has no recammended posit�an on this issue. RELATIVE PRt�PERTY TAX BURDEN BY TYPE 4F PR{�PERTY Staff has no position on this matter, since it is purely a philasophical matter af how much of the property tax burden each type of property should bear. LOCAL OPTIt"�N TAXES While a local o�ation for saies or income taxes might look attractive at first glance, T personally think it is opening up a can of worms, especially in the metropolitan area. A local option sales tax would dispro�►ortianate2y benefit those communi�ies that have major regional shopping areas {i.e., Burnsville, Edina, etc.}, at tha expense of residents in other communitie�. Since the legi�lature alsa seems to insist on getting heavily invalved in loca3 taxing decisions, I think local option taxes wauld only exacerbate the never-ending deba�Ge about which communities can pay �heir 6 own way, and which need state assistance. For the above reasons, I would recommend voting no on this one. SUMMARY: Attached is a copy of the voting sheet indicating staff recommendations. After Council has determined its positions on these issues, we will either fill out a final surve� and mail it in, or if any one is attending a regional meeting, they can vote our position in person. Also, since we will have spent the time to determine our position, I would suggest that a member of the Council and I meet with each of our local legislators prior to the first of the year, to present and discuss our positions. CTION REQUIRED• To review the League memo, along with my comments, and direct staff as to how you would like the survey completed. KDF:madlr attachment � , � r� �;u� � � is�� league afi minnesata cities TAX INCREMENT FINANCING QUESTION: Should the League sponsor responsible tax increment finance legislation in the 1988 legislative session? BACKGROUND 4ver 200 Minnesota cities employ tax increment finance (TIF} as a major development tool. The number of cities using TIF has steadi].y risen over the years, particularly in the 198Q's. In 1981, 98 cities operated TIF districts. As o� 1987, 216 cita.es initiated TIF programs. A majority of these c9.ties are located outside o£ the metropalitan area and they fall inta all ca�egories of papalation. The dramatic graw�h in TIF projects in Minnesota has been fue2ed� by �he decline in federal assistance pragrams, �he uncertainty of state aid, and the fi.exible nature af TIF', C?ver the past decade, the federal government has terminated most of its development assistance programs and substantially cut funding for its remaining development programs.. leanwhile, the state has initiated a number af new develapment assistance pragrams only to see these efforts become embroiled in major political con+�roversies. Recently, the department administering development assis�ance, the Department of Trade and Econamic Develapment, was reorganized. This was �ollawed by the creation of a new econamic develapment effart charged with responsibility for a wide range of new programs, Haw cities fit into the new law is unclear. Tax increment finance, on the other hand, remains the ane program which provides maximum loca]. flexibility and accountability. Althaugh TIF can be complex and time consuminq, city government dicta�es the pace of activity, initiates the projects, and controls the local program without interference �rom other levels of gavernments. TIF, however, has been a lightening rod �'or state legislative proposals that would curtail cities' TIF authorities. Even after �.he enactmen� of a major TIF reform in 1979, the Legislature barely le� the issue rest for a session. Mare recently, during the 1986 sessian, a restrictive TIF bill passed the House but diec3 in conference. The League ogposed this bill and worked for modi£ications in it. During the 1�87 sessa.on, the House seemed l�ss interested in TIF bu� did , cansider a proposal to reimburse counties for costs associated with TIF project improvements. This provisien died in conference. The 1986 Legislatu�e is very likely, ta reapen tne TIF issue. A number of legislative cammittees have already signaled �heir intentions to hold �xtensive hearing� on the'issue. 'I H� university aver�ue east, st. paul, minneso�a 551 01 (6'1 2] �27-5600 TAX INCREMENT FINANCING (con't) The proposed changes in TIF have been numerous. The most frequently suggested changes have been: to give counties authority to veto TIF programs; to place a percentage limit on the amount of TIF a city can engage in; to redefine the soil correction test; to require pre-1979 projects to conform to provisions adopted by the 1979 Legislature; to reimburse the county auditor for administration of TIF projects; to change the definition of redevelopment projects. Current League Position , League policy states that we are willing to work with the Legislature to improve the program or correct any problems with it. This begs the question of whether the League should initiate legislation or, alternatively, resist any leqislative proposals during the 1988. YES, LEAGUE SHOULD INITIATE LEGISLATION. The League should initiate TIF legislation during the 1988 session to head off potentially damaging legislation. The county organization, with intense pressure from Hennepin and the support of Dakota Counties, seeks to sevzrely limit TIF and several key legislators support this view. Unless the League leads and controls the legislative effort to responsibly revise the program, severe limits could become law. The League has a reasonable bill already d.rafted. It should negotiate with the county organization, giving only those concessions which do not damage� city authority, and develop a strong coalition. The League should attempt to settle the issue for the foreseeable future by building and maintaining a coalition to oppose further tinkering with TIF. N0, LEAGUE SHOULD RESIST ALL EFFOR`PS T� AMEND TIF IN 1988. 'Phe 1988 legislative session promises to be dominated by tax issues which will leave little time for the tax writing committees to deal with TIF. The House Tax Committee does not appear to be interested in considering TIF at this time. If the League sponsors a proposal, it could later be transformed into something which the League would not want.�Moreover, the Legislature could �till take up a major TIF reform bill even if the League-sponsored bill is accepted as is. Overall, it's best to leave well enough alone and not buy trouble. ' � league of minnesota cities VOTING EQUIPMENT QUESTION: Should the League continue to oppose legislation that would make current voting equipment obsolete by requiring expensive retrof"itting or reprogramming costs. BACKGROUND: In addition to paper ballots, Minnesota uses three types'of voting devices: LEVER MACHINES, the oldest form of voting device; ELECTRONIC VOTING MACHINES, known as PUNCH CARD machines; and OPTICAL SCAN equipment, the newest technology recently certified for use. Vendors submit equipment to the Secretary of State for certification. Once certified, equipment may be sold to local units of government. Current law allows cities to select the equipment which best suits local needs. CURRENT LEAGUE POLICY: The League supports current law and opposes any state-mandated system �f voting equipment. YES, THE LEAGUE SHOULD CONTINUE TO OPPOSE LEGISLATION THAT WOULD MAKE OBSOLETE CURRENT CITY VOTING EQUIPMENT. Requ�rements, such as color-coding ballots to distinguish = between parties, party-row balloting or other programming changes are expensive to cities. They are o� no benefit in city elections since city elections are non-partisan. In addition, the timing of legislative mandates often makes the equipment unusable for a particular election. Designating party affiliation on the ballot is sufficient for state and federal offices. Additional designations are superfluous and unnecessary. N0, THE LEAGUE SHOULD NOT OPPOSE LEGISLATIVE MANDATES REQUIRING RETROFITTING OF EQUIPMENT TO HELP VOTERS IDENTIFY CANDIDATES OF POLITICAL PARTIES. Cities should not oppose legislation that is designed to help the voter select the candidates they wish to vote for. Color-coding of ballots or party row balloting would be helpful to the voter in finding the candidate they wish to vote for on the ballot. Candidates (and major political parties) could use the color in all their promotion materials, thereby making identification easier on election day. State mandated voting equipment would provide for faster tabulation of results. Elections and education of voters would be simpler. 'I A3 university avenue east, st. paul, minnesota 55'I O'I [6'I 2] 227-5600 ,. � e LOCAL GOVERNMENT ELECTION DAY QUESTION: Should the League continue to oppose a Local Government Election Day. • BACKGROUND: This proposal would require all city, school district, and special district elections (including county and municipal judge elections) to be held on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November in odd years. Federal and state elections would be held in even years. Townships would have the option to retain present election days or change to the local government day. No primaries would be required for cities under 2500 population unless the city decides by ordinance or resolution. Primaries for non-partisan offices would not be required when no more than twice the number of persons to be elected file for an office. This proposed legislation would supersede all city charters, special laws, etc. Terms would be extended until the first Monday in January of the even year. Currently 642 cities conduct their municipal elections in November of the even year. Only 98 cities conduct their elections in November of the odd year. Annual elections are held by 58 cities and 31 cities have their municipal elections in other months according to charter provisions. Of the cities holding their elections in the even year, 78 percent are under 2500 population. The majority of school district elections are held annually in May. CURRENT LEAGUE POLICY: League policy opposes designating a Local Government Election Day. YES, THE LEAGUE SHOULD CONTINUE TO OPPOSE LOCAL GOVEFNMENT ELECTIONDAY. There is no proof that a Local Government Election Day would increase voter participation or create more interest in local races. Cities should not have to conduct elections each year (local in odd years, state and federal in even years), thereby doubling their election costs. Combining school and city elections could be very confusing in a city which has multiple school districts or in a school district which covers several cities. N0, THE LEAGUE SHOULD NOT OPPOSE A LOCAL GOVERNMENT ELECTION DAY Designating a Local Government Day would be advantageous for the voter. They would soon realize that every first Tuesday in November is an election day. Media campaigns to get out the vote could be uniform throughout the state. Local elections would not get "lost" among the federal and state offices voted on in the even year elections. \ league of minnesota cities LAND USE LEGISLATION QUESTION : Should the League support changes to the state's planning and zoning laws that would reduce cities' flexibility in structuring their planning commissions and boards of adjustment, reduce cities' ability to extend their subdivision regulations, require comprehensive plans prior to zoning, and consolidate and make consistent various planning and zoning laws?. BACKGROUND The Governor's Advisory Council on State-Local Relations undertook a thorough review of the state's planning and zoning laws. The League partici�ated in that study. A subcommittee of local elected officials was formed to review the recommendations c7eveloped by a technical committee composed of planning officials from townships, cities, �unties, regional development commissions, and the state. Those _zcommendations have been collected in a report on land use legislation and draft legislation has been prepared, with introduction in the 1988 session probable. CURRENT LEAGUE POSITION The Land Use, Energy, Environment, and Transportation committee is currently debatinq the merits of the proposal. Staff has identified certain issues of substantial importance to cities that may cause problems if adopted as currently proposed. The Report's recommendations are in the left column. YES, THE LEAGUE SHOULD SUPPORT THE FOLLOWING RECOMMENDATIONS 1. REQUIRE THE CREATION OF A SEPARATE BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT. This board would rule on. variances, etc. which must have �at least one but no more than one planning commission or council representative. Appeals from this �parate body would go directly to _strict court. This provision is intended to "depoliticze" the variance review process. N0, THE LEAGUE SHOULD OPPOSE THE FOLLOWING RECOMMENDATIONS 1. REQUIRE THE CREATION OF A SEPARATE BOARD OF ADJUSTMENT. This requirement unnecessarily limits the authority of a city to establish a structure that meets its unique situation. Smaller communities may find it difficult to recruit board members. An intermediate appeal to the council shoulc3 be provided. 'I R3 university avenue east, st. paul, minnesota 55'I O'I [6'I 2] 227-5600 LAND USE (con't) 2.

This would laasen the current standard ta re£lect common practice in granting variances from the striet applicatian of zoning ordinances. � 3. REQUIRE THE ADOPTION OF A C�MPREHENSIVE PLAN IN ORDER T� HAVE ZONTNG OR OTHER LAND USE CONTROLS. The comprehensive plan can be as little as a statement of goals, objectives, and policies, and present and proposed land use maps. Recent cases have called into guestion the common`practice af passing or�inances without a supporting comprehensive plan. Metropolitan cities have had this requirement �or several years. Cities would have a five year grace period, after which failure to adop� a camprehesive pZan wauld invalida�e all offical contrals. 4. PROHIBIT THE PRACTICE OF CONDITIONAL REZONING. Conditional rezoning is defined as making a district change canditioned on the applicant mee�ing certain requirements. An example is to grant rezoning from mul�i-family to commercial if the applicant agrees to construct apartment buildings in canjunction with the commerciai develapmen�. s 2. CHANGING THE REQUIREMENT OF UNDUE HARDSHIP TO EASIER STANllARD. The existing reguirement is fine. Laasening the requirement would make it more difficult to implement the requirements o� a xoning ordinance. 3. REQUIRE ADOPTION OF CQMPRE�ENSIVE PLAN. The praposed requirement is overly onerous for cities. Caurts will use inean- sistencies to supercede local decisians. The five year grace period is impractical. 4. PROHIBIT THE PRACTICE OF CONDITIONAL REZ4NING. Conditianal zoning provides added flexibili�y and sa£eguards against changes in develogment proposals. LAND USE (con't) 5.

CHANGE THE CURR�NT ABILITY OF CITIE5 TD EXTEND THEIR SUBDTVI5ION REGULATI�NS The propasal would change the ability af cities to extend their subdivision regulations up to two miles outside their boundaries notwithstanding tawn or county controls ta autharize extending both xoning and subdivision contrals but not where the town ar caunty have adopted official controls. ; 7. PROP�SAL QN FRINGE AREA GROWTH. The proposal would allow any sing°le local government unit to farce the creation of a jaint advisory board to review existing controls inside a city that gavern land within a quarter mile af the city baundaries and existing controls that govern land within two miles outside the city limits. Any two of three local governmen�s could force the creation af a joint planning board which wauld serve as a joint planning commission for the designated area. Board recommendations wauld have to be acted on within 45 days by the governing units represented on the baard. 5, REQUIRING THAT Z�NING CONTROLS BE CONSI5TENT WTTH THE COMPREHENSIVE PLAN. Again, the caurts will use the inconsistencies that almost inevitably will result. Additionally, this wi11 imgose an additional requirement on Gl�l@S. 5. CHANGE THE CURRENT ABILITY OF CITIES TO EXTEND THEiR SUBDIVISI4N REGULATIONS Cities expand their controls because they anticipate growth. Any deveiopment, but particularly subdivisions, if undertaken substantially differently than as allowed by city controls, may not allow far properly planned grawth. 7.

BACKGROUND Governor Perpich and other political leaders have listed the lack of an adequate transportation funding program as the single biggest failure of the 1987 legislature. Funding inadequacy was almost assured when the Governor•proposed suspending the transfer of the estimated $225 million generated by the Motor Vehicle Excise Tax (MVET) from the state's general fund to the highway and transit fund. The Legislature agreed with the non-transfer of MVET and these MVET funds, along with an approximate $700 million dollar tax increase, were used to balance the state general fund. The Minnesota Department of Transportation recently cancelled approximately $90 million in proposed highway projects because of the shortage in road funds. Many of the projects were in Greater Minnesota. Metropolitan projects were spared somewhat because many qualify for additional federal funds. Additional road funding is necessary. The administration has apparently abandoned as a possible source the transfer of the MVET. An increase in the gas tax or a one percent sales tax on general retail sales seem to be preferred at this time. A one cent increase in the gas tax results in approximately $20 million of revenue annually. Currently, Minnesota's gas tax is 17 cents per gallon. A one percent sales tax in the metro area would generate approximately $130 million annually. Tied in with the funding issue are the issues of jurisdiction studies and turnbacks, and potential constitutional amendments regarding dedication of the motor vehicle excise tax to the i�ighway fund and the current allocation (62-29-9) of road funds among the state (628), counties (298), and cities over 5,000 population (98). Jurisdictional studies that attempt to establish the level of use for particular roads (i.e., classifying roads as collectors, arterials, etc.) will soon be completed. Some advocate the assignment of road maintenance responsibilities to the level of government that best matches the jurisdictional classification of the road.. CURRENT LEAGUE POSITION The Land Use, Energy, Environment, and Transportation Committee is currently debating the funding issue. Existing League policy advocates dedicating the MVET, opposing large scale turnbacks, requiring all turned-back roads to be brought up to standards acceptable to the receiving jurisdiction, and modifying the allocation formula to provide for the funding of roads located in cities under 5,000 population by reducing the 298 county share. • 'i R3 university avenue east, st. paul, minnesota 55'I O'I (6'I 2] 227-5600 d TRANSF4RT�TION FUNDING {con't) YE5, �,EAGUE SHOULD SUPPORT: N0, LEAGUE SHOULD OPPiJSE: 1.

BACKGROUND: The 1987 Legislature imposed a very tight three percent levy limit on all cities for payable 1988. The new levy limit is more severe than prior limits because first, most "special" levies (previously allowed outside the limit) ace suspended for one year (except for bonded debt and certain pension costs) and second, the new levy limit is imposed on small cities (under 5000 population) for the first time since 1982. Despite legislators' assurances that tighter levy limits would be temporarily imposed for only one year, the new tax law actually imposes tighter levy limit restrictions beyond 1988. Smaller cities (under 5000 population) would be permanently subject to levy limits. The impetus for tighter limits came largely from legislators' fears that local property tax levels would increase dramatically next year because of changes in the school aid formula, the loss of federal assistance (particularly general revenue sharing), and limits the•state placed on state aid through the LGA and homestead credit programs. YES, ELIMINATING LEVY LIMITS SHOULD BE AN "A" PRIORITY FOR LEAGUE Of all revenue issues (including LGA, homestead credit and property tax reform), tight levy limits have the most harmful effect on cities' abilities to operate financially and to provide the services their residents need. They are particularly unworkable for small cities which have small budgets and can experience large year-to-year increases in their budgets. Tight levy limits force cities to issue more debt which is not always the most economical or most appropriate manner for financing expenditures. Levy limits also prevent many cities from building up adequate reserves. Levy limits are severely limiting cities' abilities to compensate for cuts in state and federal financial aid as well as making it impossible to deal with rising costs forced by state and federal mandates. Levy limits are inconsistent with the principles of local self-government and local accountability. N0, ELIMINATING LEVY LIMITS SHOULD NOT BE AN "A" PRIORITY FOR LEAGUE Designating the elimination of levy limits as an A priority will take away from the League's resources to lobby against harmful changes in the homestead credit program and to lobby for incceases in the LGA program. Since the school aid formula changes which are likely to force up local property tax levels will have their most dramatic effect in 1989, it is unrealistic to make a major effort to eliminate levy limits for 1989. The League should wait until the "dust has settled" on the school aid changes. Certain key legislators on the tax committees strongly oppose the removal of levy limits. These legislators are in a position to single-handedly block any bill eliminating levy limits no matter what the League does. They argue that they will not consider the removal of limits until comprehensive property tax reform is achieved. Rather than making a major effort Levy limits are arbitrary when to eliminate levy limits, the applied uniformly to all cities League should try to get since cities vary markedly in their incremental changes in the law that needs and abilities to raise would at least temporarily loosen revenue. up the limits. 'I E�3 university avenue east, st. paul, minnesota 551 O'I [6'I 2) 227-5600 CITY SERVICE CHARGES FOR TAX-EXEMPT PROPERTX QUESTIONe Shaul� ci�ies be able to impose a service charge on tax-exempt property? BACKGROQNDs Last year the House included in its tax bill a praposal to grant cities the o�„tion to impose, by resolutian, a service charge far "basic municipal services" provided to tax-exempt properties. This was designed as an ogtion which cities coul8 voluntarily ex�rcise. Service charges collected by the city wauld be deducted from the city`s levy limit. In exercising this OptlOn� the city cauld not be selectzve in applying the charges. They would have to apply equally to all tax-exempt property in the city, However, the city eould not impose service charges on buildings awned by federal, state, or local govarnments, InBian tribes, or on buildings subject to payments in lieu of property taxes. Under the propasal, basie municipal services would be the amount a city spends for "police, fire, street and road canstruction and maintenance, street lighting, sanitation, or other similaz property related public services." Service charges would be related to the assessed value of the tax-exempt property and the total costs af basic municipal services. CURRENT LEAGUE POSITION: League supports requiring tax-exempt property (except houses of worship} to reimburse cities for costs of police, fire and street services. XES� THE LEAGUE SHOULD CONTINUE TO SUPPORT IMPOSING SERVICES CHARGES ON TAX-EXEMPT PROPERTY" It is clear that tax-exempt progerty benefits from city services (police, fire protection and street services). it is inequitable ta provide free services to tax-exempt groperty. Other city property ends up bearing higher tax burdens as a result. Certain cities have a high concentration of tax-exempt property and aze in a particularly disadvantaged situa�ion. Some tax-exempt properties, such as hospitals or nursing homes, are almast like profit-making businesses. NQ� LEAGUE SHOULD NOT SUPPORT IMPOSING SERVICE CHARGES ON TAX-EXEMPT PROPERTY Most tax-exempt property, particular3y charities and hospitals, are dedicated to serving the public and shouldn't be charged for services. The proposal is "all or nothing." It does nat allow cities to pick and choose among the tax-exempt properties in assessing sezvices charges. Thus, unfair bu�dens will fall on certai� tax-exempt properties that cities may want to pratect. This proposal is not really helpful since any revenue a city gains from services charges must be deducted against its levy limit. Hence, it is not new maney. This proposal really only benefits cities which have high concentrations of tax-exempt property. .S-, ��'� 'illl � , • �� league of minn�sota cities Ht}MESTEAD CREDZT QUESTION : Shoulc7 the Leagt�e oppose chanqes in the homesteaci credit adopted by the 1987 Legisla�ure? BACKGROt3ND The 1987 Legislature adopted major changes a.n the hames�ead credit program. Beginning i.n 1989, the current residential hamestead credit pragram will be eiiminated. Far the homeowner, the homestead creclit will be replaced by a"homestead value exemption." This means �ha�. a certain value of the homestead property wi11 be exempt from praperty taxes -- for 1989, this exempt value wouid be 52 percent o£ the -. assessed value of the first $68,000 of the market value of the home. ° The homest�ad credit shawn an the homeowner's tax bill will be equal ta the total local mill rate (including ci�y, county, school and tawn porti.ons af the property tax} multip�.ied by the exempted value. The city and other local governments will spread their levies and determine their mi11 rates by excluding the assessed value exempted under the new program. For cities and other units of lacal government (counties, schoals, and �ownships), �.he a1d homestead credi� pragram wi11 be replaced by a "hamestead credi� replacement aic�." In the first year of implemen�atian (1989), the homestead credit replacement aid paid ta a city is supposed to be roughly equal to wha� it received in the prior year. However, due to £ormula changes, high-mil.l rate areas will generally receive more aid in 19$9 and low-mill rate areas will � generally receive less aid. In 1990 and all future years, tha.s base amount of homestead credit replacement aid paid to a city will be increased only by two escalator factors : 1) infla�ion and 2j growth in a city's exempted homestead values. Increases in a city's mill rate will not increase the homestead credit repiacement aid. CURRENT LEAGUE POSITI'4N : The Revenue Sources Committee is currently debating whetlner to oppose the new homestead credit replacement aid or take a mare cautious approach, urging the Legislature to be aware of ali the effects of the new credit before implementing it. '! �3 university avenue east, st. paul, minnesota 55'I O'1 (Ei 1 2) 22�-5600 HOMESTEAD CREDIT (con'tj YES, LEAGUE 5H4ULD OPPaSE THE NEW HOMESTEAD CREDIT FROGRAM Cuts in the new homestead credit pragram could be made more easily because �here would no longer be a direct link between the homestead credit paid ta homeawners and the reimbursement to cities for revenue lost through the homestead exemption. Under the ald homestead cre�it program, it was difficult far the Legislature to cut the credit without it showing up on the taxpayer's bill. Under the new program, however, the Legislature could cut the homestead_replacement aid ta cities, but the credit appearing an the homeowner's bill would remain �he same or even go up under certain circumstances. The new homestead credit replacement aid is another "aid" �rogram, li.ke local government aid. Annual battles over formula changes are more likely. It wonld be easy for the Legislature to cut the hamestead replacement aid --even in the middle of the budget year-- wi�.h no warning to cities which depend upon that source of revenue. In establishing the initial hamestead replacement aid amaunt {upon which all future aid would be based), higher mill rate areas would be advantaged and low mill rate areas would be disadvantaged. In the future, a city which has growing needs and must increase its mill rate will not receive increasing homestead credit payments. This could fbrc� large and abrupt increases in the taxes paid on non-exempt '� praperty (commercial/industrial property, the non-exempt portion af homes�ead values, renters). NQ, LEAGUE SHOULD NOT OPPaSE NEW �OMESTEAD CREDiT PR�GRAM. It is goad policy to sever the link between hames�ead credit payments and property tax levels of local governmen�s« The old program provided too much of an incentive to local governments to raise their taxes since, in most cases, 54 $ of the tax increase was picked up by the state through the homestead credit, The Legislature will be able ta have more direct control over expenditures for the new hamestead credit replacement aid since it can easi2y change or, if necessary, temporarily suspend the two escaltor factors in the homestead credi� formula. Expenditures far the homestead credit program will be mare predictable since the homestead credi� will no langer be linked to lacal property tax levels. This will help stabilize the state's budget situata.on, If the state faces budge� problems, expenditures for the homestead credit program could be easily cut, providing the state with a better taol far dealing with buclget crises. In the past, some argued that cities were not accountable for their tax and spendinq increases since local property taxpayers were partly protected against local �ax increases by the homestead credit. With thi.s new homestead credit design, no one can make that argument. � league ofi minnesota cities RELATIVE PROPERTY TAX BURDENS FOR CERTAIN TYPES OF PROPERTY QUESTIQN: Are local property tax levels for certain types of property too hig.h�;� especially in rela�ion to other types of property�' BACKGROUND: Wide disparities often exist between the tax burdens of various types of property in certain communities.

COMMERCIAL/INDUSTRIAL The high property taxes which many businesses must pay are an excessive burden and may discourage some businesses from locating or remaining in a community. This causes loss o� jobs and economic activity Ear a community. Small business can be particularly hard hit, especially if they are located in already depressed areas where rapid].y declining farm values have caused tax burdens to shift to the businesses in cities. Tax burdens for homesteads are too low ana need to increase somewhat so that the proper�.y taxes for businesses can be lowered. Ultimately, a community's ability to retain businesses will affect jobs for 1oca1 residents and local growth anc� weal�h.

Since 1971, local governments have been generally prahibited from levying lacal sales or income taxes. At the same time (1971), property tax levy limitations were impased on local governments. These tax reforms (known as the "Minnesota Miracle") caere enacted in exchange for a state commitment to use state-raised sales and income tax revenues to finance praper�y tax relie.� for local governments. Ir� recent years, hawever, sta�e budc}et prablems combined with political pressure to hold down state income and saies taxes have led ta substantial reductions in state aids. The �esult has been that cities have been forced to rely more heavily on lacal property taxes. 1 CURRENT LEAGUE POSITIOt�: League policy recommends that cities be given local option to raise other non-traditional reven�e saurces, such as sales taxes, to enhance local financial flexibility.

Thirteen of the calls can be attributed to the abnormal weather conditions that occurred during July with the high heat and the heavy rains. The "super storm" was truly a test for the emergency response services of all of the communities in northern Dakota County. Due to the heavy rains, there was extreme flooding and one major structure fire in West St. Paul in which we were called in on mutual aid. Our Department also assisted as first in fire department on the severe flooding that occurred at 2050 Delaware Avenue. We also handled some minor calls and responded to one residential structure fire where lightning had hit a house at 1491 Dodd Road. The fire was contained and only minor damage was done to the residence. A damage amount was set at $1,000. During that night we utilized our mutual system in Dakota Count� and Eagan was brought into our station to help cover while we were assisting West St. Paul. In fact, Eagan did respond in response with one of our trucks to help combat the fire at 1491 Dodd Road. Inver Grove Heights and South St. Paul were also brought into West St. Paul to help in their situation and cover their City. Overall the operation went very well and at no time were we unable to cover any of our seivice area. On July 28 at 3:50 A.M. the Fire Department was called to a fire alarm at 2330 Lexington Avenue. Just after the first truck went in route the dispatcher notified us that residents were calling and stating that there was smoke in the building. Upon arrival of t�e Fire Department, heav� smoke was noted from the north end of the building, possibly from the garage, and heavy smoke in the front entry way. We immediately bec�an to try and locate the source of the fire while crew assisted in evacuation. Most of the residents had evacuated themselves from the building, however, upon our check of the building their were six more residents inside. The fire was finally located as a fire in the engine compartment of a car in the garage. The sprinkler system operated pro�erly and the fire was kept in check and fire damage was limited to the engine compartment of the car � itself. There was no damage to cars parked on either sides of the vehicle. Other than the main entry way, smoke damage was confined to the basement garage area only and damage was set at $1,000 to the vehicle. Had there been no sprinkler system, damage would have been much greater. SYNOPSIS OF MONTHLY TRAINING The re�ular monthly drill was spent splitting the Department into thirds and drilling on pro�er pumper operation at a fire scene. This dealt specifically with hydrant hookups, pumping, hose layouts, friction loss calculations and over al� familiarity of the equipment. The monthly resaue drill was spent �oing over the preliminary guidelines for response to disasters within Dakota County. These guidelines were developed by the Dakota County Disaster Committee as a means to try and unite the County in the same terminology in operation. �,.

Mendota Hei�hts Road Lift S�ation During the July 23rd storm Mendata Heights Road flaoded so badly that surface water entered �he dry well of the Mendota Heights Road lift station causing the equipment to short out. This allawed sewage to get so high in the wet well that it fl,00ded the barminuter pump. When the power was restared and the barminuter was restarted there was water in the warking parts and the motor froze up. Waldor Pump is the anly service dealer that we know af to work on barminuters, they are extremely busy but have pramised to pull and repair the pump som�time this weelc. Their "off the cuff" estimate is $3,000 -$4,000 to repair the matar. II. Marie Avenue Pand Lift Statian The Marie Avenue Pond pumps have been running steady since the 3- 100 year+ storms. The larger pump {1000 gpm) has given up and is also in to Waldar Pump for repairs (should be dane this week). Costs Because these two items of equipment are of a critical nature ta the City's sanitary and starm sewer operation Staff ordered the work dane with- out prior Council approval (required £or work ordered aver $2,500).

This proposal has been approved �or preeentation to you by Co�.i.ssioner of Natural Resources, Joe Ale�ander.

The goal set forth several years ago by the Reglonal Parks and Wildltfe staffs and the Minnesota Yalley Nattonal Wiidilfe Refuge staff is to reduce the deer denstty in the Iowe� Minnesota Valiey (I-35W to the Mtsslssippt River) to a 15-25 deer per square mile wtntering population. � The 1987 goal ts to remove a mintmum of 283 deer wlth hunttng seasons followed lf necessary w�th sharpshooting by DNR and National Wildlife Refuge law enforcement officers. Hunting and sharpshoot(ng are to be done on both the Park and Refuge lands. Our population modelling In�(cates that this wtll result in a 25� reductton �n the Klnter or post-hunt population. We will further reduce the population by 25� in 1988, 1989 and 1990. Afte� the 1990 reduction, the population of 17 deer per square mile wiii be maintained with an annuai or bie�nial hunting/sharpshooting p�ogram. The 1987 goal is theoretical because it is based solely on the winter aerfal census of 1986 and the known and estimated mortality and production since then. Numbers will be adfusted based on later su�veys. 3. 1987 Deer Removal Proposal a. Specfal Firearms Hunt. Dates: Season 3A dates: November 7-8 and 14-15 (both weekends).

AUG - 'r 1g8� To: Mendota Hoiphts City Council From: Emil and Emily 3lawinski 3ubject: The Shaughnessy and Gryc Developments 806 Bachelor Ave. St. Paul, Mn. 55118 August 5, 19�1 As we noted in an eaxlier letter (6�23�87), we were concerned that the earth-moving projects on the Shaughnessy and Gryc properties had created unstable slopes that wauld erode onto aur land during rainstorms. The storms of last week were severe indeed and h�,ve done conaiderable damage to our property. During the storm, dirt from the steep slopes on the Shaughnessy development on the northArn boundary of our property washed extensively into our valley. We eatimate rouP,hly 50 tons of grav�el came dawn from those alopes, turning what onee was a grassy valley path into a gravel gulch. Sand and gravel also eroded from the Gryc land onto ours, leaving a sand flat where once there was a grass field and damaging some flower beds and a v�egetable garden. We feel that Mr. Shaughnesay and Mr. Gryc are responsible for repairing the damage that was done. And it seems to us that the tiae developers ahould be required to take steps to prevent sny further erosion of their land onto ours. We sug�*est th�t Mr. Shaughnessy be required to conatruct a retaining wall near our common boundaYy as part of the erosion prevention process. We feel that Mr. Gryc should construct a sturdy enough diversion ditch so that the drainag�e from his development passes through his own land and then to the golf course pond as it has in the paet. At this point the spur end of 1r�achtler Ave. and the slopes on either side form a funnel tha,t sends run-off onto the north east corner of our progerty. We are aware that these points have been communicated to Mr. Gryo and Mr. Shaughnessy in the past. We would like to lmow �ha,t concrete plans they have to remedy the situation in the immediate future. We are not sure how to proceed and ask for your involvement as these development projects were originally brought to the city council for appronal. We feel that property owners in Mendota Heighta should be protected from damage by developers. Thsnk you for your considera tion of thia matter. We look forward to hearing from you.

The Debt Service Account shall be used solely to pay the principal and interest and any premiums for redemption of the Bonds and any other general obligation bonds of the City hereafter issued by the City and made payable from said account as provided by law. No portion of the proceeds of the Bonds shall be used directly or indirectly to acquire higher yielding investments or to replace funds which�were used directly or indirectly to acquire higher yielding investments, except (1) for a reasonable temporary period until such proceeds are needed for the purpose for which the Bonds were issued and (2) in addition to the above in an amount not greater than the lesser of five percent (5�) of the proceeds of the Bonds or $100,000. To this effect, any proceeds of the Bonds and any sums from time to time held in the Construction Account or Debt Service Account (or any other City account which will be used to pay principal or interest to become due on the bonds payable therefrom) in excess of amounts which under the applicable federal arbitrage regulations may be invested without regard to yield shall not be invested at a yield in excess of the applicable yield restrictions imposed by said arbitrage regulations on such investments after taking into account any applicable "temporary periods" or "minor portion" made available under,the federal arbitrage regulations.

The City hereby further covenants and agrees that it will do and perform as soon as they may be done, all acts and things necessary for the final and valid levy of such special assessments, and in the event that any such assessment be at any time held invalid with respect to any lot, piece or parcel of land due to any error, defect, or irregularity in any action or proceedings taken or to be taken by the City or the City Council or any of the City officers or employees, either in the making of the ass.essments or in the performance of .any condition precedent thereto, the City and the City Council will forthwith do all further acts and take all further proceedings as may be required by law to make the assessments a valid and binding lien upon such property. The special assessments have not heretofore been authorized, and accordingly, for purposes of Minnesota Statutes, Section 475.55, Subdivision 3, the special assessments are hereby authorized. Subject to such adjustments as are required by conditions in existence at the time the assessments are levied, the assessments are hereby authorized and it is hereby determined that the assessments shall be payable in equal, consecutive, annual installments, with general taxes for the years shown below and with interest on the declining balance of all such assessments at a rate per annum not greater than the maximum permitted by law and not less than � per annum: : Improvement Desiqnation 86-08 86-09 86-10 86-11 86-12 87-01 87-05 Collection Amount Levy Years Years At the time the assessments are in fact levied the City Council shall, based on the then-current estimated col- lections of the assessments, make any adjustments in any ad valorem taxes required to be levied in order to assure that the City continues to be in compliance with Minnesota Statutes, Section 475.61, Subdivision l. . 17.

The tax levies are such that if collected in full they, together with estimated collections of special assess- 19 ments and other revenues herein pledged for the payment of the Bonds, will produce at least five percent (5�) in excess of the amount needed to meet when due the principal and interest payments on the Bonds. The tax levies shall be irrepealable so long as any of the Bonds are outstanding and unpaid, provided that the City reserves the right and power to reduce the levies in the manner and to the extent permitted by Minnesota Statutes, Section 475.61, Subdivision 3. 18. General Obligation Pledge. For the prompt and full payment of the principal and interest on the Bonds, as the same respectively become due, the full faith, credit and taxing powers of the City shall be and are hereby irrevocably pledged. If the balance in the Debt Service Account is ever insufficient to pay all principal and interest then due on the Bonds and any other bonds payable therefrom, the deficiency shall be promptly paid out of any other funds of the City which are available for such purpose, and such other funds may be reimbursed with or without interest from the Debt Service Account when a sufficient balance is available therein. 19.

Negative Covenant as to Use of Pro�ect. The City hereby covenants not to use the Improvements or to cause or permit them to be used, or to enter into any deferred payment arrangements for the cost of the Project, in such a manner as to cause the Bonds to be "private activity bonds" 20 within the meaning of Sections 103 and 141 through 150 of the Code.

CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS MEMO AUGUST 13, 1987 TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Kevin �D��a�l, City Administrator / SUBJECT: Case No. 87-19, Halley Variance for Play Area Improvements At the meeting of August 4, Council approved a variance application from I�iichael Halley for the play area improvements to Lot 9, Block 1, Park Place. The variance was necessary because the proposed improvements are in essence accessory structures on a lot for which there is no principle structure. Because the Planning Commission had directed that this item come back to them for consideration at their August meeting, staff`did not anticipate Council approval on August 4. Therefore, the staff report with recommended action was not quite complete. It was our intention to recommend to Council that the variance should be granted, conditioned upon the,provision that the City reserves the right to revoke the variance and order removal of the accessory improvements at such time that they are inadequately maintained by the homeowners association. RECOMMENDATION REQUIRED: First, a motion to reconsider the action of August 4 regarding the playground variance for Michael Halley. Second, motion to a�prove the variance as submitted with the provision that the City reserves the right to revoke the variance and order removal of the structures and improvements at such time as, in the City's judgement, the homeowners association has failed to adequately maintain the improvements. KDF:madlr ,y: CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS .� � ` August 13, 1987 T0: Mayor, City Council and City�Y�r�i��or ✓ FROM: James E. Danielson Public Works Director SUBJECT: Sibley Heights Preliminary Plat Case No. 87-18 DISCUSSION• At their August 4th meeting, Council'reviewed the Bjorkland/Hanson Sibley Heights preliminary plat. At that meeting there was some concern expressed by the Council about the layout of the lots on the north cul-de- sac (there were several lots that did not meet the minimum frontage). The Council felt that maybe a lot should be removed to increase the overall frontage, however the Developers stated that they and prospective homebuyers prefer the smaller lots. They asked for time to prepare a drawing that would rearrange the lot lines to provide for better lot design and building layouts. The Developers have submitted the attached drawing that presents to the Council home layout to address those concerns. The new layout rear- ranges several of the lot lines and has located proposed homes on the lots. The Developers say that they will have covenants or otherwise require home- buyers of the undersized frontage lots to have the homes to be setback a minimum 35 feet from the'front lot line. All the lots still meet the minimum area and the Developers do not want to have to remove a lot to increase the frontages to have all the lots meet the 100 foot frontage minimum. ' ACTION REQUIRED: Review the new layout with the Developers and if Council wants to ap- prove the preliminary plat as amended they need to pass a�notion approving the Sibley Heights preliminary plat. � CITX OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS MEMO August 13, 1987 T0: Mayor, City Council and ��.�t ator FROM: James E. Danielson Public Works Director SUBJECT: Decorah Lane/Apache Street Intersection DISCUSSION: Last year and earlier this summer the City received complaints about the sight distance on Decorah Lane at Apache Street. There is a hedge growing in the right of way at the northwest corner of the intersection that is causing the problem. Staff notified Ms. Connie Johnson the owner of the adjacent lot and asked that she remove the offending portion of the hedge (see attached letter'). Ms. Johnson did tri� the hedge however it was not enough to cure the problem., Staff sent her a second letter (attached). Ms. Johnson responded to that by saying that she feels that the answer to the problem is not removing her hedge, but installing 4 way stop signs. She has circulated a petition in the neighborhood (supporting letters and petition available Tuesday evening) which has signatures of 50 supporters for the stop signs. Staff offers the following comments on the stop sign request. 1. Decorah is a through street. 2. Because Decorah is a through street that serves the Copperfield neighborhood, traffic.on Decorah has increased since the Copperfield con- struction began last year. ' 3. The Huber Drive/Mendota Heights Road link is being designed right now f or construction in 1988. Completion of this link will take some of the traffic off Decorah however there will continue to be a higher level of traffic on Decorah than existed before Copperfield. 4. Traffic on a through street should be allowed to flow and not be hindered by unwarranted stop signs. Staff feels that installing stop signs on Decorah would invite drivers to run them thus causing a more serious safety hazard than e xi.sts now. If 4 way stop signs are installed pedes- trians and vehicles on the intersecting street would be expecting traffic on Decorah to stop and impatient drivers used to little traffic on intersecting streets might run the sign. 5. There has been no history of accidents on Decorah. 6. Warrants for stop signs are as follows: a. Intersections of a less important road with a main road where application of the normal right-of-way rule is unduly hazardous (Apache should be stopped). b. Street entering a Chrough s�.reet (a11 streets intersecting Decorah shauld be stopped). ' i , c. Unsignalized intersection in a signalized area (N/A). ! d. Qther intersection where a combination of high speed, re- � stricted view, and serious accident record indica�e a need for � control by the stop sign (s eed limit = 30 mph, restricted view = � shrubs should be cut back, serious accident record = none exists). RECOMI+�NDATION • • Staff recommends that Ms. Johnsan's shrubs be remaved for a minimum of 30 feet from the ra.ght-of-way or be cut 1aw enaugh for a driver to loak over them and that stop signs be installed in place of the yield signs all along Decorah Lane on the intersectir�g streets. , ACTIQN REC�IiIREU • ' Review Ms. .iohnson's request.

CITY COUNCIL CITY OF MENDQTA �IEIGHTS = ATTEST: Kathleen M. Swanson, Ca.ty Clerk By Charles E, Mertensotta, Mayor CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS MEMO , August 32, 1987 T0: i�ayor, City Cauncil and Ci�y �' atar FROM: Ta� Olund Public Works Superintendent SUBJECT: Electrical Box Replacement at �he Warming Hauses DISCOSSION• In the past we have had numerous problems with the electrical boxes which operate the lights at our ska�ing rinks. They are mounted outside, so same of the prablems are with vandalism and moisture. In 1987 we budgeted $2,000 ta start a repl,acement program. We intended to replace one box a year per park by relocating them inside Che warming houses. We called twa electrical cantractors f or bids for this year's bax reiocation and they reported back to us that the boxes at a3.1 faur rinks are in an extremely bad candi�ion. They say tha� someone could get injured and highly recommended we replace a11 af them immedia�ely. Staff agrees with their analysis and would like to do the work at a11 faur lacations this year. We feel this needs ta be don� ta alleviate any liabilities the Ci�y could incur. The war mi.ng house attendan�s open these boxes each evening to turn on the 1.ights. Two bids received were from Corrigan Electric in the amount of $6,$65 and Ries Electric in the amount of $10,250. The money we saved fram the Tora Groundsmaster purchased earlier this year and the $2,000 budgeted equals $7,996 which �ruld more than cover the cos�s. RECOMMENDATION• Staff recommends that we award a purchase arder to the low bidder, Corrigan Electric in the amount of $6,865. ACTION REQUIRED• . If Council wa.shes to �.mplement the staff recammendation they should pass a motion auChorizing staff order the installation of �he el.ectrical boxes and prepare the purchase order for Corra.gan Elec�ric in the amount of $6,865. 1 CITY OF MEND�TA HEIGHTS MEMO AUGUST 14, 1987 TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Kevin 1D��1, City Administrator SUBJECT: Promissory Nate from Vernon Eide At the last meeting, Council acted to deny any further building permits in several subdivisions where there were delinquent park dedication fees and/or assessments. One of the subdivisions affected is the Eide Estates subdiviszon narth o� Wagan Wheei Trail. Mr. Eide has been contacted, and indicates that he will pay the delinc�uent park dedication fees within 30 days. However, he will not be able to pay them within the next two to three weeks. Councilmember Blesener has asked that we consider taking a�romissory note from Mr. Eide, so that she and others can begin to construct hames on lot� they have already purahased. City Attorney Hart is preparing a proposed pramissary note, and it will be available Tuesday evening. He feels that thi� wauld adequately protect the Cit�'s interest.

The earliest possible day he could return to work would be Thursday, August 20. In his absence, his assistant Dick Gill has very capably been performing inspections and plan reviews. Unfortunately, with the amount of work needing to be done, Dick has not been able to spend time contacting the individuals in connection with the moved in house at 929 Chippewa or at the Knob Road location. He has also not had time to devote to responding to weed complaints, or following up with letters. Upon Paul's return, staff anticipates a report on the status of completion for the moved-in houses, and hopefully this information will be available for the September 1 agenda. ACTION REQUIRED: None, this is for information only. e madlr � CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS MEMO T0: Mayor and City Council FROM: Kathleen M. Swanson City Clerk August 4, 1987 RE: Revised (Add-On) Agenda for August 4, 1987 Three items, all under the Unfinished and New Business portion of the a�enda, are recommended for addition to this evening's agenda, additional information is submitted for two items already scheduled, and one item has been deleted. A revised agenda is printed on yellow paper. Items with additional inofrmation are marked with * and new items with **. The format of the agenda has also been revised to schedule the items anticipated to consume little time in advance of the scheduled 8:00 public hearing. In addition to the printed agenda, Klayton will be prepared to give an oral update on storm damage should Council desire. 3. Agenda�Adoption Council should adopt the revised agenda printed on yellow paper. 8a. DNR Deer Hunt. Jon Parker has submitted a request for consideration of•proposed deer hunt regulations. Mr. Parker will be present, and it is my understanding that he is requesting only a reaction from the Council. If the proposed regulations are adopted by the DNR, a request for action will be made on August 18th. 8d. Summarv Publication of Fire Ordinances. There was evidently some confusion over the date the resolution and proposed summary were needed, consequently the documents have not yet been prepared by the Attorney's office. They will be available on August 18th. This item has been deleted from the agenda. 8h. Hallev Variances. Howard has just returned from vacation and has not had an opportunity to prepare a written report on the recreation area site plan. He has, however, given me his oral comments which follow. Howard indicated that the facilities �roposed are fine, but suggested that the location of the tennis court and tot lot be reversed. While he has no strong objection to the proposed locations, he felt that reversing the locations would have significant benefit. He felt that locating the gazebo at the centerline of the tennis court would allow those present to watch tennis matches a better view of the courts and would allow parents pre�ent with young children to watch them play at the tot 1ot. He felt quite strongly that placing the tot lot closer ta the cul-de- sac (at the praposed gazeba lacation) would also provide a greater degree af �afety for the children because they would be in view of anyone driving along th� cul-de-saa and not hidden from view as they would be at the proposed locatian. 8i.
