She noted that the focus will be on the Copperfield neighborhood. Mayor Levine commented that she is excited about this project and asked staff to explain what a natural corridor is.

NEW AND UNFINISHED BUSINESS A) RESOLUTION 2022-34 APPROVING THE PRELIMINARY PLAT OF LILLIE'S LAKEVIEW ADDITION—945 WAGON WHEEL TRAIL (SEAN DOYLE—SD COMPANIES, LLC — APPLICANT/DEVELOPER) Community Development Director Tim Benetti explained that the Council was being asked to consider adopting a resolution approving the preliminary plat of a new subdivision titled Lillie's Lakeview Addition. The application (developer) is Sean Doyle with SD Companies, LLC. The subject property is located at 945 Wagon Wheel Trail. Councilor Miller asked if Rogers Avenue would be maintained by the City. Director Benetti replied that the two existing properties on the other side of Rogers Avenue have a license agreement with the City related to the use of it as a shared driveway. Mr. Doyle, or the subsequent developer,would have a similar license agreement to use Rogers Avenue as a private driveway, therefore the City would not maintain it. Councilor Miller asked how this would not be considered a flag lot as there are multiple homes coming off a shared driveway. Director Benetti replied that it is not a private road, but a public right-of-way. He commented that the lots meet the frontage requirements along Rogers Avenue and Wagon Wheel. Councilor Miller commented that it is public right-of-way but not public road. Director Benetti confirmed that is correct. He explained that the City is requiring the dedication of right-of-way in the case the City would ever want to put the road through. He did not anticipate that would occur in the near future, but it would provide that opportunity in the future. page 6 Mayor Levine asked if the lots had extended to the previous 30-foot right-of-way would they have been flag lots. Director Benetti replied that they still would not be flag lots as they would have still had the required frontage on Wagon Wheel. Mayor Levine asked why the long driveway was included on the right side in option B, when plan A would have been fine with the extra right-of-way added. Director Benetti commented that both options A and B would work under the ordinance. He commented that the ordinance is unclear as to whether the frontage would need to be against a paved or developed roadway. The intent is to ensure that all lots front on an improved developed roadway. He commented that Wagon Wheel is paved and improved whereas Rogers Avenue is not, and the City intends to keep it that way for the foreseeable future. Mayor Levine asked and received confirmation that the right-of-way would need to stay clear of trees and debris. She asked if the owner of lot one would be required to have a frontage on Wagon Wheel. Director Benetti explained that there would be frontage but would not be accessible as the area of the lot adjacent to Wagon Wheel has water. Councilor Paper asked if there would be a new driveway that services these two homes. Director Benetti commented that Mr. Doyle believes that he can reuse the driveway for 945 Wagon Wheel and the property to the north would begin from there and feed into the lot to the north. Councilor Paper asked if Rogers is currently a shared driveway for the three properties. Director Benetti confirmed that the three properties have a license agreement with the City and a shared driveway agreement. He stated that this would add a fourth to those agreements. Councilor Paper asked why they would proceed with option B as it counts frontage that is not even dirt. He stated that the opinion of the City Attorney is that the right-of-way counts as frontage and that should be sufficient rather than adjusting the frontage on Wagon Wheel which is water. Councilor Mazzitello referenced the definition of a street within our City Code. He stated that a lot has to have frontage, not access, on a public street. He commented that a driveway is not a Metropolitan Council recognized facility and therefore to make it clean and beyond doubt, the frontage on Wagon Wheel makes the lot compliant. Councilor Paper asked what would happen if there were a disagreement between the neighbors in the future, as the four properties are sharing the driveway. Director Benetti acknowledged that shared driveway agreements either work well or fail and if they fail,that becomes a civil matter. The City would not resolve a civil matter. Councilor Mazzitello commented that when the property to the west was split,the same configuration was chosen where the upper lot wraps around to touch Wagon Wheel, but the access was not onto Wagon Wheel because of the wetland. He stated that to avoid impacting wetlands, the applicant was able to use the right-of-way. He stated that there is a provision in the shared driveway agreement that stipulates that the driveways must separate within the first 30 feet after the Wagon Wheel pavement. He stated that the two driveways off Wagon Wheel are separate in order to minimize future conflict. page 7 Councilor Paper asked if the new driveway would follow the right-of-way. Director Benetti confirmed that the driveway would follow the right-of-way and then follow a similar configuration. He noted that those details would be brought forward in the future. Councilor Paper asked if there are other lots in the city that act similar to this. Director Benetti commented that he could not think of any lots of this nature. He commented that this is unique, and precedent was set when the access right was granted to the Quail and Jacobs properties. He explained the benefit of requiring the dedication of right-of-way. Mayor Levine expressed appreciation to the Planning Commission and the great job it did questioning and examining this case. Councilor Mazzitello moved to approve RESOLUTION 2022-34 APPROVING THE PRELIMINARY PLAT OF LILLIE'S LAKEVIEW ADDITION AND FOR THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 945 WAGON WHEEL TRAIL. Councilor Paper seconded the motion. Ayes: 3 Nays: 1 (Miller) B) RESOLUTION 2022-35 APPROVING A WETLANDS PERMIT FOR 791 WENTWORTH AVENUE (LDK BUILDERS —APPLICANT/OWNERS) Community Development Director Tim Benetti stated the Council was asked to consider adopting a resolution approving a Wetlands Permit for 791 Wentworth Avenue. The property owner is LDK Builders. Councilor Paper commented that he recalled something was supposed to be done on the property related to runoff or grading. Director Benetti replied that the detention basin was required in the back and two are being built. Councilor Paper asked if the ten-foot retaining wall would have a fence. Director Benetti replied that a fence is not shown but stated that the applicant agrees that a fence could be added. Councilor Paper referenced the catch basin next to the bike trail, which appears to be made by a homeowner and asked who is responsible to maintain it. Public Works Director Ryan Ruzek replied that the detention pond was installed by the previous landowner and therefore this landowner would inherit that as part of the purchase of the property. He commented that if that were to fail the water would still go around it, down the hill. Councilor Paper commented that there is constantly rocks and gravel in the detention pond and it should be maintained. He stated that there are only two trees shown to be planted in an area that was previously heavily wooded. He asked how the City could ask the applicant to do better. He recognized the condition that the builder will work with staff on additional trees and/or plantings but noted that is vague. He recognized that the two trees shown is good enough but asked how they could do better. page 8 Director Tim Benetti stated that under the Sweeny Second Addition there was a condition added that all building permits need to submit a detailed landscaping plan. He noted that each home is to be custom made. The two trees are the minimum and the builder stated they will work with staff on the plantings. Councilor Paper asked the overall height of the proposed home. Director Benetti replied that the home has a height of 25 feet at the midpoint and the walkout would be ten feet. Councilor Paper commented that would be a tall building from the backside. He asked how the `come clean, leave clean" condition would be enforced. Director Benetti replied that it would be up to the developer and their contractors to ensure that. He stated that City staff would verify that streets are swept. He noted that the condition specifies best efforts. Councilor Paper commented that it is disappointing to see how things have gone with the project on Dodd Road and Marie Avenue as well as the lot on this site. He commented that the City is working hard to do more for the environment, and these are details that are being let go. Councilor Mazzitello moved to adopt RESOLUTION 2022-35 APPROVING A WETLANDS PERMIT TO LDK BUILDERS AND FOR THE PROPERTY LOCATED AT 791 WENTWORTH AVENUE. Councilor Paper seconded the motion. Ayes: 4 Nays: 0 C) DISCUSS APPLYING FOR A LOCAL PARTNERSHIP PROGRAM GRANT FOR DODD ROAD Public Works Director Ryan Ruzek stated the Council is asked to discuss applying for a Local Partnership Program (LPP) grant for Dodd Road improvements. Councilor Miller stated that he is not opposed to making this area safer. He asked if the residents in the area are aware of this potential project. Director Ruzek replied that would be premature to notify the area residents at this point. This would be a project proposed for the future. Councilor Miller referenced a home location on the rough draft plan that shows a driveway being extended to Dodd Road. He asked if that is accurate. Director Ruzek stated that was one concept. He provided additional details and noted that the plan shows two different options. He noted that MnDOT may not want additional driveways on Dodd and that alternative may not be accepted. Councilor Miller commented it appears the School District owns the triangle piece of land near Dodd and Decorah Lane. Director Ruzek did not believe that was accurate and that MnDOT has the proper rights. Councilor Miller commented that he does like one of the options shown, noting a topography challenge in a portion of a property. Director Ruzek replied that fill would be brought in. page 9 Councilor Mazzitello asked for details on the Local Partnership Program and what it is designed for. Director Ruzek replied that the program is designed to provide funding for cities to locally lead projects and make improvements for safety on the State highway system. He stated that MnDOT established this program in order to get more work done than it could do itself. Councilor Mazzitello commented that if this were approved, it would seem to be an intersection improvement and associated improvements. Director Ruzek provided details on the project scope noting that he would submit what is shown in yellow as well as the realignment of the Wagon Wheel Trail/Dodd Road/Decorah Lane intersection. Councilor Mazzitello asked if this work was identified in the analysis in 2017. Director Ruzek confirmed that the study did include the realignment of the intersection and intersection control options. He noted that a signal was identified as the best option for traffic control if factoring in surrounding growth. Councilor Mazzitello moved to authorize THE PUBLIC WORKS DIRECTOR TO SOLICIT QUOTES FOR A PROFESSIONAL SERVICES CONTRACT TO COMPLETE A LPP GRANT APPLICATION. Councilor Paper seconded the motion. Ayes: 4 Nays: 0 D) CONSIDERATION OF THE NINTH AMENDMENT TO PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT FOR MENDOTA PLAZA (THE DEVELOPERS AGREEMENT) FOR NEW 79-UNIT APARTMENTS/PHASE III—AT HOME APARTMENTS Community Development Director Tim Benetti stated the Council was asked to give final consideration and approval of the Ninth Amendment to Planned Unit Development Agreement for Mendota Plaza. This amendment agreement is specifically for Lot 7 of Mendota Plaza, of Phase III, a new 79-unit market-rate apartment development. The development is At Home Apartments of St. Paul, MN. Councilor Paper noted that additional overstory trees were requested in the landscaping plan and he believed the applicant did a good job of adding more trees on the site. He expressed appreciation. Councilor Mazzitello echoed the comments. He stated that when a body asks something of an applicant to consider, it is nice to see that done and it is appreciated. Councilor Paper moved to accept and approve THE NINTH AMENDMENT TO PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT FOR MENDOTA PLAZA/LOT 7 — PHASE III AT HOME APARTMENTS; AND AUTHORIZE THE MAYOR AND CITY CLERK TO EXECUTE THIS AGREEMENT ON BEHALF OF THE CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS. Councilor Mazzitello seconded the motion. Ayes: 3 Nays: 1 (Miller) page 10 COMMUNITY ANNOUNCEMENTS City Administrator Cheryl Jacobson announced upcoming events and activities. COUNCIL COMMENTS Councilor Paper thanked the MHAA traveling baseball teams that have been working diligently to clean up the parks. Councilor Miller encouraged residents to get out and enjoy the spring weather. Councilor Mazzitello encouraged residents to be diligent when driving through construction areas. He wished everyone a happy Cinco de Mayo. Mayor Levine reminded residents that it is now "no mow May" which helps to provide habitat and food to pollinators. ADJOURN Councilor Paper moved to adjourn. Councilor Mazzitello seconded the motion.

BACKGROUND The Minnesota Department of Transportation constructed a number of the frontage roads in the community. MnDOT has been working on releasing the jurisdiction to these roads. The City of Mendota Heights accepted the release of a number of these roads previously. The roadways that have previously been turned back to the city include: Carmen Lane, Centre Pointe Curve, Victoria Curve, Valencour Circle, Acacia Boulevard, Lemay Lake Road, Condon Court, Portions of Mendota Heights Road and Wagon Wheel Trail, and Pilot Knob Road north of Highway 13. MnDOT is also working on a turnback of Old Sibley Memorial Highway which is planned to be improved by MnDOT before its release. DISCUSSION The City Council discussed a number of the streets at their Council meeting on March 16, 2021. The Council was in agreement to accept release of Acacia Boulevard, Condon Court, Mendota Heights Road adjacent to the 35E bridge, Mendota Heights Road east of Highway 149 (Dodd Road), Pilot Knob Road north of Highway 13, Wagon Wheel Trail adjacent to the 35E bridge, and Valencour Circle however, the Council requested financial compensation or an improvement be performed to Waters Drive prior to acceptance by the city. As the city has included Waters Drive in its 2022 Street project, Centre Pointe Street Improvements, MnDOT has been able to allocate funding for this roadway. Staff provided MnDOT with the estimated costs of$192,000 for a mill and overlay of Waters Drive. BUDGET IMPACT The reimbursement from MnDOT will reduce the bond amount the city will carry for this project. MnDOT is in agreement with the submitted cost estimate. page 16 RECOMMENDATION Staff is recommending approval of the Change of Roadway Jurisdiction Agreement between MnDOT and the City of Mendota Heights for Waters Drive.

BACKGROUND The City of Mendota Heights has 122 street light poles that are maintained. The poles are 30' tall square tapered steel poles with a baseplate welded on them. The street light poles were installed in 1987, and are approaching their usable life due to corrosion. Staff did begin an inspection process on them last year, and a painting schedule to help extend the life of the street light poles. DISCUSSION Due to recent pole replacements,the city's stock of street light poles has been depleted. While obtaining quotes, staff has looked into painted galvanized street light poles that will have a longer life than non-galvanized poles. The city recently had two poles blow down during heavy winds. One of these fallen poles damaged a passing vehicle. BUDGETIMPACT Staff has received quotes from three different vendors and the low bid was from Mountain States Lighting. The poles are $1,978 per steel pole. There is an additional cost to paint the poles to match the existing poles of$203.00 per pole. The public works facility has room to store the 20 street light poles to be available for replacement as needed. Eight poles are currently removed due to a concern of failure. The total cost for the 20 poles is $43,620.00. The purchase of the street light poles with the painting over galvanizing would come out of the Street Light Fund which is funded through a special street light taxing district. The fund has an adequate balance to fund this purchase. Staff will review the street light budget for 2023 with a projected increased rate to cover the additional maintenance costs. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Mendota Heights City Council approve the purchase of 20 replacement street light poles. ACTION REQUIRED If Council concurs with the staff recommendation,they should pass a motion authorizing staff to issue a purchase order to Mountain States Lighting for$43,620 for the purchase of twenty replacement street light poles. This action requires a simple majority vote. page 26 page 27 5e. 1101 Victoria Curve I Mendota Heights,MN 55118 651.452.1850 phone 1 651.452.8940 fax www.mendata•heights.com it CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS Request for City Council Action DATE: May 17, 2022 TO: Mayor, City Council, and City Administrator FROM: Ryan Ruzek, P.E., Public Works Director Krista Spreiter, Natural Resources Coordinator SUBJECT: Approve Dakota County Aquatic Invasive Species Grant Program Agreement INTRODUCTION The City Council is asked to approve an agreement with Dakota County for the treatment of Curly Leaf Pondweed (CLP) in Rogers Lake. BACKGROUND The City of Mendota Heights, in partnership with the Rogers Lake Improvement Association, submitted a Dakota County Aquatic Invasive Species (AIS) grant application for the treatment of Curly Leaf Pondweed, an invasive, non-native aquatic plant present in Rogers Lake. The City has applied for this grant program and was awarded funding in 2020 and 2021. The City was awarded the grant from Dakota County for 50% of the grant amount requested. This requires a cash and in-kind match, that will be shared by both the Lake Association and the City. The original application requested grant funding in the amount of$11,000. The City has amended its request to the requested total project cost of$6,000, forgoing Objectives 1 (Delineation of infested areas) and 3 (Summer Point Intercept Survey) in the attached agreement and application, in order to complete the treatment while adhering to the feasible match allowable by the Rogers Lake Improvement Association. The amended grant request would require a $1,000 cash match that will be provided by both the City and Lake Association at$500 each. In-kind funds in the amount of$1,000 will be provided by the City of Mendota Heights and the Rogers Lake Improvement Association; both contributing $500 each in staff and volunteer hours in order to carry out Objective 4, Education and Outreach. Grant funds are provided to the City on a reimbursement basis. The grant period begins once all required signatures and documents have been attained, and notice to proceed has been given. The grant period ends December 31, 2022. page 28 DISCUSSION The proposed CLP treatment and prevention program entails the treatment of Curly Leaf Pondweed, as well as an educational outreach program for Mendota Heights' residents in the identification and prevention of CLP, as well as other Aquatic Invasive Species. The treatment will take place in late spring/early summer to treat the areas of CLP that are now growing and active, and reduce and avoid impact to native aquatic vegetation. The prevention element of the program will include educational materials and outreach activities provided at city events such as the Earth and Arbor Day Celebration, Fishing Derby and the Parks Celebration, as well as articles in Friday News and Heights Highlights. BUDGET IMPACT The grant agreement requires a $500 cash-match that the City will provide from the City's stormwater budget. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the City Council approve the Dakota County Aquatic Invasive Species Grant Program Agreement for the Rogers Lake CLP Treatment and AIS Prevention Program project, and authorize the Mayor and City Clerk to execute such agreement. ACTION REQUIRED If the Council concurs, it should, by motion, approve the Dakota County Aquatic Invasive Species Grant Program contract, and authorize it to be executed by the Mayor and City Clerk. This action requires a simple majority vote. page 29 Dakota County Contract#C0035323 AQUATIC INVASIVE SPECIES AID GRANT AGREEMENT This Grant Agreement (Agreement) is made and entered into by and between the County of Dakota, acting through its Environmental Resources Department (County) and the City of Mendota Heights (City).

Dakota County Aquatic Invasive Species Plan: 2021 -2025 Adopted by the Dakota County Board of Commissioners on December 151h,2020 DAKOTA COUNTY Plan prepared for the Dakota County Environmental Resources Department Z_ by the Dakota County Soil and Water Conservation District SOIL a WATER page 39 This page intentionally left blank page 40 Introduction Since the early 2000s, the introduction and spread of aquatic invasive species (AIS) has occurred at an alarming rate throughout Minnesota and continues to be a growing concern across the state. Residents in Dakota County are not immune to these concerns. The county is bisected by the Vermillion River(Figure 1), many lakes and wetlands pocket suburban neighborhoods, and three major rivers define all or portions of the County's northern, eastern, and southern borders (the Minnesota, Mississippi, and Cannon Rivers, respectively).

Dakota County waterbodies page 41 The introduction of non-native species (fish, plant, invertebrate, and viruses and disease-causing microorganisms), unhindered by natural predators or disease, can cause quick, permanent, and detrimental alterations to a stream or lake ecosystem. As a result, these changes can have a negative impact on the recreational suitability of the stream or lake,which in turn, can impact the economic viability of the local community. AIS have already been detected in numerous Dakota County lakes, as well as the Vermillion (including its tributaries), Minnesota, and Mississippi Rivers. There are several invasive species not currently found in Minnesota,that have the potential to negatively impact the health of waters in Dakota County. The Dakota County Aquatic Invasive Species Plan (Plan) serves to guide the use of annual funding provided to Dakota County from the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources' (MN DNR) Local AIS Prevention Aid program. The plan outlines the strategies utilized by the Dakota County AIS program to help prevent the spread of AIS, within the county and greater Minnesota. Through this program, Dakota County aims to support existing monitoring and implementation efforts by local government units (LGUs), including lake associations and watershed organizations, fill gaps by monitoring waterbodies not currently covered by LGUs, assess AIS suitability within the County parks system (particularly Lake Byllesby), and promote County-wide outreach efforts. The AIS program is overseen by the Dakota County Environmental Resources Department. In 2015, the Dakota County AIS Advisory Committee (Committee) was formed to provide ongoing management, oversight, and implementation of programs supported by the state AIS Prevention Aid funding. The Committee consists of Dakota County and Dakota County Soil and Water Conservation District (DCSWCD) staff members, with additional input from a broad range of stakeholders. The Committee works with local, state and federal governments, as well as nonprofit and private organizations operating in Dakota County, to develop, implement, and support AIS prevention programs. Organizations and interested citizens assist the Committee to better prioritize resources and develop workable strategies to prevent the spread of AIS in local waters. The Plan promotes engagement with stakeholders by a variety of methods including developing and coordinating outreach tools, providing training opportunities, and supporting strategies that adhere to best management practices to increase AIS awareness, monitoring, and management. Dakota County Profile Dakota County is 587 square miles in area and has a population of approximately 400,000. Situated in the southeast corner of the Twin Cities Metropolitan area, Dakota County is the third most populous county in the state of Minnesota. Founded in 1849, Dakota County was one of the original nine counties created by the Minnesota Territory Legislature, thus, it was established before Minnesota was considered a state. The County seat was first established in Kaposia in 1853, was moved to Mendota in 1854, and then moved to Hastings in 1857, where it currently resides. Mendota, directly across the river from Fort Snelling, became the first European settlement in Minnesota. Before European settlement, Dakota County was part of an expansive territory of the Dakota tribe of American Indians. Dakota County features a land use ratio of approximately one-third urban, one-third suburban, and one-third rural. The confluence of two major rivers (the Mississippi and Minnesota)that form the county's northern and eastern borders further compliments Dakota County's unique geography.The County's development and history have been greatly influenced by its proximity to these rivers. Between 1990 and 2000, Dakota County's population grew by nearly 30 percent. Development has continued to move outwards from the urban core of Minneapolis and St. Paul page 42 into suburban municipalities (Burnsville, Eagan, Inver Grove Heights, Apple Valley, Farmington, Lakeville, and Rosemount), resulting in the dramatic increase in population in recent years. What are Aquatic Invasive Species According to the MN DNR,AIS are aquatic organisms that are non-native to Minnesota and cause harm to both the economic prosperity and natural resources of a given community or waterbody, as well as have potentially negative impacts on human health. Not all non-native species become 'invasive.' Some species fail to thrive in their new environment and naturally die off without harming the ecosystem. Others survive, but are unable to outcompete the native species, thus they ultimately coexist without destroying or displacing the native species. Commonly found invasive aquatic plant species in Dakota County include curly-leaf pondweed, Eurasian watermilfoil, and purple loosestrife. Although less common, aquatic invasive invertebrates such as zebra mussels, rusty crayfish, and Chinese mystery snail are also present within the County. Photo credits I4 (left to right from top): University of .^ Minnesota Extension,Blue -� Water Science, Chinese mystery snail Eurasian watermilfoil Zebra mussels MN DNR,MN DNR,Kayla Horan, University of ,-� Minnesota Extension Cudyleaf pondweed Rusty crayfish Purple loosestrife The introduction and subsequent spread of AIS typically results in habitat alteration, ecosystem degradation, and a loss of bio-diversity due to intensified competition for resources. AIS typically have few natural predators, reproduce rapidly, and are more aggressive than native species (which ultimately diminishes the success of native species). Along with negatively affecting aquatic wildlife, AIS have the potential to impede recreational opportunities and disrupt industrial, municipal, and agricultural uses of public waters. AIS infestations often span geographic and jurisdictional boundaries; thus, it is critical to coordinate management and prevention strategies across watershed and political boundaries to address and mitigate the spread of AIS. Pathways of Introduction and Spread The means and routes by which species are introduced into new environments are called 'pathways' or 'vectors.' Invasive species introductions can be both unintentional and intentional by nature. Some invasive species are unintentionally imported, arriving through livestock and produce, by transport equipment such as packing material or in a ship's ballast water, or attached to an engine or boat trailer when moving between waterbodies. Other species are intentionally introduced to a lake or river for various purposes, but these species either escape from captivity or are carelessly released into the environment. page 43 Other pathways by which AIS can be introduced to an ecosystem include: • Docks and lifts (moved from an infested waterbody to an uninfested waterbody) • Water recreational equipment (i.e.water trampolines, rafts) and vehicles (i.e. tubes or jet skis) • Waterfowl hunters/angler gear (i.e.waders and boots) • Water gardens or shoreline restorations • Bait buckets • Wildlife Although several attempts are often made to eradicate AIS from an infested waterbody, it is typically impractical to completely remove a population once it has been established. Working to prevent the introduction and spread of invasive species is the most effective way of protecting healthy, non-infested ecosystems. Laws and Regulations Current Minnesota state law prohibits the transportation of most aquatic plants.This law will not only help prevent the spread of Eurasian watermilfoil and other aquatic plants, but also it will reduce the risk of zebra mussels or other invasive animal species being transported while attached to aquatic plants. In addition, it will reduce the inadvertent transport of other harmful plants into or within the state. Under state law, it is unlawful to: • Transport aquatic plants, except as allowed in statutes • Transport zebra mussels and other prohibited species of animals • Place or attempt to place into waters of the state a boat, seaplane, or trailer that has aquatic plants, zebra mussels, or other prohibited invasive species attached Certain invasive species that can threaten natural resources and their use have been designated as prohibited invasive species in Minnesota. According to the MN DNR, it is a misdemeanor to possess, import, purchase, transport, or introduce these species except when under a permit for disposal, control, research, or educational purposes. Some of the prohibited invasive species found in Dakota County include Eurasian watermilfoil, curly-leaf pondweed, and purple loosestrife. Other invasive species are considered regulated invasive species. It is legal to possess, sell, buy, and transport regulated invasive species, but they may not be released or planted in public waters. Both the rusty crayfish and the common carp are examples of regulated invasive species found in Dakota County. Other regulated species not currently found in Dakota County (as of 2020) include water hyacinth and spiny waterflea.A complete list of prohibited, regulated, and unregulated invasive species (both aquatic and terrestrial), as well as information regarding the transport of water and regulated activities in infested waters, can be found on MN DNR's website. page 44 As of July 1, 2012, a boat lift, dock, swim raft, or associated equipment that has been removed from any waterbody may not be placed in another waterbody until a minimum of 21 days have passed. Regulations relating to the transportation of water in boats and other water-related equipment by boaters from all waters in the state include: • A person leaving waters of the state must drain all water from water-related equipment, including bait containers, live wells, and bilges.They must also remove the drain plug before transporting the watercraft and equipment from the water access or riparian property • Drain plugs, bailers,valves, or other devices used to control the draining of water from ballast tanks, bilges, and live wells must be removed or opened while transporting watercraft and water-related equipment • Emergency response vehicles and equipment may be transported on a public road with the drain plug or other similar device replaced only after all water has been drained from the equipment upon leaving the waterbody • The following are exempt: o Portable bait containers used by licensed aquatic farms o Portable bait containers used when fishing through the ice, except on waters designated infested for viral hemorrhagic septicemia (VHS) o Marine sanitary systems Businesses that are defined by Minnesota law as lake service providers must attend an aquatic invasive species training and apply for a lake service provider permit every three years. Employees are also required to take an online training in order to be certified to work in Minnesota waters. More information about the lake service provider training and permitting process can be found on MN DNR's website. AIS Best Management Practices The MN DNR promotes several best practices that everyone can follow to help stop the spread of AIS: • Clean all aquatic plants, zebra mussels, and other invasive species from watercraft, trailers, and water- related equipment before leaving any water access or shoreland • Drain water-related equipment(boat, ballast tanks, portable bait containers, motor) and drain bilge, livewell, and baitwell by removing drain plugs before leaving a water access or shoreline property. Keep drain plugs out and water-draining devices open during transport • Dispose of unwanted bait, including minnows, leeches, and worms, in the trash; refill the bait container with bottled or tap water if planning on keeping bait Some invasive species are small and difficult to see at the access. In order to properly remove AIS from your watercraft or other equipment, take one or more of the following precautions before moving to another waterbody, especially after leaving zebra mussel and spiny waterflea infested waters: • Spray with high-pressure water • Rinse with very hot water (120°F for at least 2 minutes; or 140°F for at least 10 seconds to kill zebra mussels) • Dry for at least 5 days page 45 Reporting AIS Potential new AIS findings are to be reported to the MN DNR using, EDDMapS Midwest, the AIS online reporting platform. The EDDMapS (Early Detection and Distribution Mapping System) is accessible through a desktop website, but it also has an associated smartphone and tablet app to make it easy to report locations of invasive species while out in the field. All data submitted through EDDMapS is reviewed by state verifiers at the MN DNR to ensure the accuracy of submissions. Once confirmed, infestation reports are freely available to scientists, researchers, land managers, landowners, educators, conservationists, ecologists, farmers, foresters, and state and national parks. EDDMapS combines data from other databases and organizations, as well as volunteer observations,to create a national network of invasive species distribution data which is used by the MN DNR to track the spread of AIS in Minnesota. For more information about AIS in your area or questions about the AIS reporting process, contact a local DNR invasive species expert. page 46 Local AIS Prevention Aid Program In 2014, the Minnesota state legislature passed a county aid tax bill (Chapter 308, HF3167: Omnibus tax bill. Article 1: Property Tax Aids and Credits. Section 11) providing$10 million annually to Minnesota counties to help prevent the spread of AIS. The distribution of funds is based on a calculation considering each county's share of watercraft trailer launches and watercraft trailer parking spaces (Figure 2). In July 2014, $4.5 million dollars was distributed to the 87 Minnesota counties. In 2015 and thereafter, that value was increased to$10 million per annum. In accordance with the legislative directive (Minnesota State Statute 477A.19, Appendix D), between 2014 and 2017, Dakota County received $437,217. In 2018, Dakota County was allocated $120,396, $120,177 in 2019, $119, 720 in 2020, and is projected to receive$119,521 in 2021. Counties are required by statute to establish and submit guidelines, either by resolution or through the adoption of a county plan, that detail how the Local AIS Prevention Aid funding will be used. Counties must use the funds to prevent or limit the spread of AIS at all accesses within the county. Funds may be appropriated directly, or a portion of the funds can be directed towards LGUs, park districts,joint powers boards, watershed districts and watershed management organizations (WMOs), as well as lake associations and non-profit groups located in the county,to be used for AIS prevention. Each county is responsible for deciding how to best use the funds while abiding by all current laws and regulations at the state level.

Lake Marion(Lakeville) page 48 Plan Development and Program History The purpose of the County's AIS program is to prevent the introduction of new AIS, prevent further spread of existing AIS, and reduce the potential for environmental and economic impact brought on by AIS infestations. To this effect, in 2015 the Dakota County Board of Commissioners passed a resolution (14-587) adopting the following guidelines for using the AIS Prevention Aid grant: • Prepare a comprehensive inventory of boat launches and waterbodies at risk • Undertake an awareness campaign • Develop early detection and response procedures • Manage existing populations of aquatic invasive species • Establish partnerships with local units of government, water management organizations, Soil and Water Conservation District, or lake associations First-Generation Plan Development Dakota County's first-generation plan was approved by the Dakota County Board of Commissioners in December 2016 for the duration of 2017-2020. When that plan was in development, the AIS committee reviewed existing AIS Plans by other Minnesota counties and the MN DNR, hosted a stakeholder roundtable to gather perspectives on AIS work that was being done and what gaps existed, and communicated with the MN DNR AIS Prevention Planner and Invasive Aquatic Plant Specialist to make sure the Dakota County plan included key elements and did not duplicate existing efforts by the MN DNR or other water-related agencies. AIS Program—Historical Activities From 2014 to 2020, Dakota County received $797,510 to undertake projects and implement programs to prevent the spread of AIS. Activities are broken out by year and are categorized as follows—Early detection, Prevention, AIS management and treatment, and Education and awareness. 2014 • Education and awareness: Updated MN DNR AIS signage at boat launches in the County,focused on waterbodies with motorized boat launches and associated parking lots. 2015 • Education and awareness: Updated AIS signage at smaller waterbodies and those that do not have motorized boat launches and/or associated parking lots.

Hosted an AIS display at the Dakota County fair. Purchased educational materials for outreach events. Second-Generation Plan Development and Outreach In the spring of 2019, County and SWCD staff met to discuss the development of the second-generation plan, valid from 2021-2025. Stakeholder input was key to updating plan strategies and goals so that the plan addressed the needs of the community. County engaged with stakeholders in a variety of ways, including a roundtable meeting in fall 2019 and an online survey in late summer 2020. At the roundtable session, staff met with Cities, WMOs, and lake association representatives. Discussion centered around what was working and what needed to be improved, as well as how to develop the second- generation plan and ideas to improve the grant program. Key takeaways from the roundtable was that partners felt that the educational resources and the County-supported inspector program were working well, along with the grant program.A targeted education strategy(such as bait management, spiny waterflea,goldfish releases) with associated outreach materials plus more opportunities for collaboration between organizations and stakeholders were two suggestions for where the AIS program could be improved to ensure future success. page 51 In August 2020, Dakota County sought feedback from a variety of stakeholders (LGUs, WMOs, and lake associations) on AIS management activities currently performed on MN DNR designated waterbodies throughout the County. The purpose of conducting the survey was to reach a broader audience than those who could attend an in-person roundtable. Questions focused on identifying potential gaps in AIS-related programming that could be filled with financial, logistical, or programmatic support from the County through the funding provided by Local AIS Prevention Aid. 65 people participated in the survey and 94%of respondents strongly agreed or agreed that Dakota County is on the right course to prevent and slow the spread of AIS. Survey participants ranked early detection and rapid response (lake surveys, rapid response treatment, rapid response plans) and prevention (inspections and decontamination) as highest priorities. Treatment(chemical or mechanical removal of invasive species), grants (to cities, lake associations and watersheds), and education and outreach (events, materials, educational content) were a lower priority for respondents. Key takeaways from the survey include high marks for the inspection program, as well as the partnership with Dakota County Sheriff's Department. Respondents also voiced concerns for several non-AIS related issues (parking spaces, non-resident use of lake, aquatic plant removal in nearshore area, dredging). These issues were compiled and have been shared with responsible entities. Stakeholder comments contributed as part of the roundtable discussion and survey findings were incorporated into the plan update. After the draft plan was developed, the stakeholders were given an opportunity to comment on the plan before it was submitted to the County Board for approval. Adaptive Management This plan serves as a working document to guide activities and the use of the Local AIS Prevention Aid funds by Dakota County. The fluid nature of this plan provides a framework from which to establish programs that can best deal with new infestations or promote new outreach opportunities with community partners. The management of AIS is a relatively new field in water resource management, particularly at the County level. With that, experience and research findings will be incorporated into future actions to prevent and manage the presence of AIS. As such,this plan will be reviewed by the Dakota County AIS Advisory Committee on a yearly basis; any necessary amendments will be made to plan priorities at that time. page 52 Inventory and Assessment Various types of AIS have been present in Minnesota over the last 200 years, but the rate of reported infestations is increasing at an alarming rate. Since the 1950s, public awareness of the importance of preventing new AIS introductions into Minnesota and managing existing infestations also increased. Public demand for AIS research, management, and education strategies has been particularly intensified the last 20 years. In order for management and prevention activities to be as effective as possible, the types and extent of AIS within Dakota County and surrounding areas must be known. This section highlights known AIS infestations in the state of Minnesota and Dakota County, focuses on priority species currently studied by state researchers, and provides information about the MN DNR's Infested Waters List. AIS Infestations in Minnesota At this time, there are 17 species of aquatic animals and 10 species of aquatic plants known to be invasive in Minnesota. Many of these species, such as the common carp, have been present in Minnesota for several decades. Others, such as the rapid invasion of zebra mussels, along with growing concerns about the spread of Asian carp, have brought AIS-related issues to the forefront more recently. As of August 2020, the MN DNR Infested Waters list includes 8 percent of Minnesota's public waters. The List features selected prohibited invasive species (including Brazilian elodea, brittle naiad, Eurasian watermilfoil, faucet snails,flowering rush, New Zealand mud snails, round goby, ruffe, white perch, and zebra mussels), selected regulated invasive species(spiny waterflea), and diseases (Viral Hemorrhagic Septicemia (VHS)). Lakes, rivers, ponds, and wetlands are added to the infested waters list by the MN DNR if it contains an aquatic invasive species that could spread to other waters. The MN DNR may also list a lake, river, pond or wetland as infested if it is connected to a body of water where an aquatic invasive species is present. For more information about AIS infested waterbodies in Minnesota, visit the Infested Waters List to find the official list of infested waters, including all rivers and stream segments of infested waterbodies. A map option is also available through EDDMapS Midwest, though it only displays infested lakes,wetlands, and major river pools. Current AIS Research in Minnesota Researchers at the Minnesota Aquatic Invasive Species Research Center(MAISRC), a research center based in St. Paul and working in cooperation with the MN DNR and University of Minnesota Extension, are studying detection, prevention and control techniques for close to three dozen AIS that are considered high-risk for Minnesota. Several of the key species being studied by MAISRC are increasing in distribution across the state. The following tables identify AIS of concern and are grouped by fish, plant, invertebrate, and disease species (Tables 1-4 respectively). Researchers evaluated each species' existing distribution throughout(or near) Minnesota,their distribution potential, and their potential to adversely impact ecosystems once established. MAISRC focuses its research efforts on species that have been prioritized based on their proximity to Minnesota, pathway of spread, and impact and in need of research into their detection, prevention and control. page 53 Table 1.

Of this subset of species, curly-leaf pondweed, reed canary grass, yellow iris, purple loosestrife, rusty crayfish, and Chinese mystery snail have been located in Dakota County, but are not included in Table 5. Curly-leaf pondweed, reed canary grass, and purple loosestrife have been present in the County for a significant number of years, whereas rusty crayfish and Chinese mystery snails were found by volunteer groups in 2016. Rusty crayfish were found in the Vermillion River (Farmington and Hastings) and North Creek(Farmington) in the fall of 2016. Specimens were collected as part of routine biomonitoring activities performed by DCSWCD staff and by Hastings High School students participating in the VRWJPO's Vermillion River Watch program. The Chinese mystery snails were discovered while monitoring Thompson Lake (West St. Paul) by volunteers participating in Dakota County's Wetland Health Evaluation Program (WHEP). page 57 Several other prohibited and regulated AIS are known to be present within Dakota County or are in adjoining or high use lakes in other parts of the state.These species (Table 6) are a growing concern due to their potential to spread to new waterbodies in Dakota County.

At this time, the MN DNR is leading all monitoring and management activities related to AIS infestations on the Mississippi River within Minnesota jurisdiction, so management of those species identified as inhabiting the Mississippi River(namely the three carp species listed in Table 6)will not be addressed in this Plan. Coordinating AIS efforts in Dakota County Since its inception, Dakota County staff have sought input from local, regional, and state partners in order to make the AIS program as productive and all-encompassing as possible. Engagement has focused on monitoring and outreach efforts as these are integral to preventing activity overlap and identifying AIS-related programmatic gaps that could be filled with financial, logistical, or programmatic support from the County through the funding provided by Local AIS Prevention Aid. The Dakota County AIS Committee has used online surveys and roundtable meetings to learn about local efforts for AIS management and outreach. These have produced valuable guidance to the development of this plan, strategies for dealing with AIS, and determining management responsibilities. In order to prevent overlap, LGUs and Dakota County Parks lead AIS management activities on all waterbodies (lakes, stormwater ponds, and wetlands with a MN DNR identification number)within their jurisdiction. Dakota County plays more of a supportive role by directing the grant program and coordinating outreach material development and purchasing. Dakota County is also responsible for managing the watercraft inspection program at County-owned launches as well as partnering with LGUs to support inspectors at local launched. page 58 Implementation Plan This section of the Plan describes strategies proposed by Dakota County to prevent, detect, and manage AIS infestations. Using funds made available through Local AIS Prevention Aid, Dakota County will continue AIS monitoring activities on lakes with County-owned accesses or on County property on a rotational basis, as well as support AIS monitoring activities undertaken by neighboring counties that share waterbodies. Dakota County will also support efforts to prevent the occurrence and spread of AIS in the County by supporting watercraft inspection and decontamination activities, as well as annual monitoring surveys, public awareness campaigns, and volunteer programs. Local interest in efforts to counteract the spread of AIS within Dakota County has led to the development of monitoring, management, and outreach partnerships between lake associations, city and county governments, local watershed management organizations, and the MN DNR. Funding from the Local AIS Prevention Aid will also be used to support AIS-related projects undertaken by LGUs and non-profits that operate in Dakota County through a grant program. As mentioned previously, it is important to consider this plan to be fluid in nature, in that implementation activities discussed in this plan are subject to change over time due to advances in research on AIS management, the detection and potential establishment of new AIS in the County, and future opportunities for various educational or outreach programming or partnerships. As the Local AIS Prevention Aid funding amounts are not set for 2021—2025, the total expenditures shown in the Appendix are based upon the amount allocated to Dakota County in 2021 ($119,521). If Dakota County receives less than that amount in the coming years, less money will be allocated to the grant program in order to maintain the budget. Prevention AIS can be spread throughout the County via numerous pathways. Each pathway poses varying levels of risk depending on the water body and the specific AIS. Common pathways through which AIS spread include boat accesses, docks and boat lifts, and attached to water recreational gear. Watercraft Inspections Beginning in 2017, Dakota County has hired Level 1 watercraft inspectors to conduct watercraft inspections at the boat launch in Lake Byllesby Regional Park. All other motorized accesses within the countyII are owned and operated by LGUs or the state of Minnesota.Those entities are responsible for conducting watercraft inspections at their accesses. That year, inspectors performed 2,730 WQ . inspections at two accesses- one on Lake x ► " Byllesby and the other at Lake Marion (inspector sponsored by the City of Lakeville and partially .. b funded through the Dakota County grant Level 1 boat inspector at Lake Byllesby boat launch program). page 59 The inspector program grew in 2018 and 2019 to include more accesses, and increased inspection hours and total number of inspections. County partnered with Goodhue County to hire inspectors to monitor boat launches on both the Dakota and Goodhue sides of Lake Byllesby. Through the grant program,the Cities of Burnsville and Lakeville hired inspectors for Crystal, Orchard, and Marion Lakes All told, 3,500 hours of inspections were performed between fishing opener and Labor Day and almost 11,000 inspections conducted. 99%of all watercraft were recorded as arriving with drain plugs out. In 2018, Dakota County purchased a watercraft decontamination unit. This unit is stationed at the Lake Byllesby Regional _ Park boat launch. Watercraft - decontamination consists of a high- pressure spray and hot water rinse. The hot water kills the AIS, and the high pressure removes them. Between 2019 and 2020, E there was a 127% increase in the number of decontaminations by inspectors at Lake Byllesby—51 in 2019 and 116 in 2020. Inspector performing decontamination of boat leaving Lake Byllesby Partnership with the Sheriffs department In 2019, Dakota County partnered with the Dakota County Sheriff's Department to train and deploy Sheriff's deputies to perform AIS inspections and enforcement activities at six boat launch sites located in Dakota County, as well as roadside checks near marinas located in South St. Paul and Hastings. In its first year, 11 local law enforcement officers attended an AIS training hosted by MNDNR authorities. Deputies coordinated enforcement efforts at local boat launches during high watercraft periods primarily on Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays during the 2019 boating season beginning May 1 and continuing through Labor Day weekend (Monday September 2). Deputies recorded 1303 interactions with boaters over 183 hours and issued 48 warnings to boaters (not all AIS related). The partnership was renewed in 2020 following a similar enforcement schedule. Future program considerations include coordinating with Goodhue County Sheriff's department regarding enforcement activities at the Lake Byllesby launches Lake Service Provider Certification In 2011,the Minnesota state legislature passed new laws related to the prevention and management of AIS that apply to lake service providers (marinas, dock haulers, lawn irrigators and others who install or remove equipment from state waters for hire). Based on this new law, service providers must obtain a permit from the MN DNR in order to legally work in lakes and rivers throughout the state. Service providers can obtain the permit by attending an AIS training hosted by the MN DNR and passing the certification F test. �d In 2013, the law was updated to include any businesses that rent or lease any type of boats or other water-related equipment. At this time, Dakota County Parks and Canoes for rent page 60 Recreation Department has various watercrafts (canoes, kayaks, paddleboards)that are available to the public to rent during the summer season at the Lebanon Hills Visitor Center for use in Lebanon Hills Regional Park. In accordance with the updated law, County parks staff attend certification trainings every spring and are in possession of the MN DNR service provider permit. Alternative Pathways Assessment AIS can also be introduced into the environment, intentionally or accidently, through the dumping of live plant and animals purchased at local pet stores and nurseries into local waterbodies. Hundreds of species of plants, invertebrates, and fish from all over the world are sold through these businesses and are available for purchase by Dakota County residents. Such activities are high-risk pathways for AIS, but once identified, outreach efforts can be targeted to address these pathways. In 2017, Dakota County hired a consultant to investigate alternative pathways and identify potential sources of AIS. The study found that pet stores are a source of prohibited species in Dakota County, and both pet stores and garden centers are a source of regulated species and early detection targets. Throughout Minnesota, very little is being done to educate the vendors and the public on the dangers of these purchased plants, fish and other pets. Continued work to improve AIS education to different audiences utilizing the Habitattitude program was advised as well as follow up with corporate offices to discuss outreach partnerships. See more information on the Habitattitude program website. Early Detection Early detection monitoring provides opportunities to detect new AIS introductions before they become established in a given waterbody, ultimately increasing the feasibility of a rapid response/eradication effort. Significant cost-savings can be realized by adopting an effective early detection monitoring program in the form of reduced long-term control and management expenses, in addition to protecting existing natural resource investments. Dakota County recognizes LGUs and WMOs as the responsible entities for primary management of the water resources within their boundaries. Such responsibilities include surface water monitoring and tracking water quality trends, vegetation surveys (in-water and riparian), and implementing other lake and river water quality management actions. Because of the high level of water resources management currently undertaken by LGUs and WMOs, Dakota County staff will prioritize AIS monitoring and detection efforts on waterbodies that are within the County Parks system (particularly Lake Byllesby). Dakota County continues to support LGUs with their monitoring activities and will take on monitoring and assessment activities if and when assistance is requested. page 61 Monitoring and Assessments Current early detection monitoring activities on lakes with County-owned accesses include: • Aquatic vegetation surveys (point-intercept) o Species of interest: Eurasian watermilfoil, curlyleaf pondweed,flowering rush o Visual observations for cylindro (blue-green algae) and common carp • Suitability Assessments with reference to lake bottom sediments for AIS o Hydrilla, purple loosestrife, rusty crayfish, spiny waterflea, starry stonewort, Chinese and banded mystery snail, faucet snail, Asian carp, and snakehead • Installation of zebra mussel plate samplers at boat launches or fishing accesses A baseline AIS survey and suitability assessment was conducted on several waterbodies within the Lebanon Hills Regional Park in 2016. Twenty lakes and ponds were surveyed in early and late summer in 2016. Curlyleaf pondweed, a nonnative invasive plant species,was observed in 9 lakes. Eurasian watermilfoil, a non-native invasive species, was observed in 7 lakes. The most common native species was coontail and it was found in 19 out of 20 lakes. Since then,the County has developed a multiyear aquatic vegetation monitoring program plans in which all waterbodies in the County parks system are monitored on a rotational basis. Aquatic vegetation surveys are conducted twice during the growing season in order to identify new AIS, delineate existing AIS populations, and track the spread of AIS within a given waterbody.The goal of the program is to continue to monitor the presence of AIS in County parks and assess the potential for spread between waterbodies within the parks system. Lake Byllesby Assessments Because of the potential for an AIS infestation in Lake Byllesby to negatively impact the Byllesby Dam, preventing an AIS introduction (particularly zebra mussels) in Lake Byllesby is a top priority for Dakota County. Both Dakota and Goodhue counties own and operate public water accesses on Lake Byllesby, necessitating the importance of collaborative partnerships to prevent new AIS infestations in the lake. Since 2018, Goodhue County has conducted aquatic vegetation surveys of Lake Byllesby on an annual basis to monitor changes in the lake. Volunteer Monitoring Network Providing volunteers with the necessary training to identify and report potential infestations is one strategy to help prevent the spread of AIS within Dakota County. Each year, the County supports citizen involvement through their participation in volunteer programs including the University of Minnesota Extension's AIS Detector program, Starry Trek, and the Wetland Health Evaluation Program. Participants with the AIS Detectors program learn general principles of aquatic ecology; AIS identification and monitoring methodology; reporting protocols. Upon completing the course, participants eligible to participate in the AIS Detectors volunteer program by completing annual AIS-related volunteer activities of their choice. See more information on the AIS Detector program on the MAISRC website. Starry Trek is an annual statewide event coordinated by the MAISRC and hosted by local organizations. Dakota County hosts this event which includes training volunteers and providing them with equipment and directions to monitor local lakes. Any species found (native and invasive) are collected for identification and reported to the MNDNR. During this event, Starry Trek volunteers have discovered previously unknown populations of various page 62 invasive species (including starry stonewort, zebra mussels, Eurasian watermilfoil, and Chinese and banded mystery snails) in lakes all around the state. Dakota County coordinates the Wetland Health Evaluation Program (WHEP), a volunteer program focused on determining the health of wetlands in the County. WHEP volunteers are trained and work on community-based teams to collect data on wetland plants and macroinvertebrates, providing valuable information to local governments and decision makers. Beginning in 2016, and annually thereafter, Dakota County provided AIS funds to WHEP to incorporate AIS plants and macroinvertebrates into the training materials, monitoring protocols, and reference guides used by the volunteers. Rapid Response Rapid assessment and response involve assessing the size of the AIS infestation relative to the resources and tools available to completely remove the infestation ("eradication"). The best defense against an AIS infestation in a local waterbody is utilizing strong preventative actions, like boat inspections at launch sites and educating the public about rules and regulations relating to AIS, in order to prevent AIS from ever entering the waterbody in the first place. Early detection of a new infestation, and a subsequent response to that infestation, are considered the "second line of defense,"following prevention. Early detection and rapid response are core tenets of any effective invasive species management program. When the introduction of new AIS is detected, a prompt and coordinated response to contain the affected area (and, if feasible, provide treatment in order to eradicate the species) can reduce the potential establishment, spread, and harmful impacts of a given species. Early detection and response to a new infestation can result in lower overall costs and reduced damage to the resource than implementing a long-term control program after an invasive species is established in the waterbody. Regular monitoring is necessary in order to detect new infestations in a timely manner so that the response plan can be as effective as possible. In order to properly and efficiently deal with new AIS infestations, Dakota County wrote a rapid response plan outlining different response strategies to employ when a new infestation is reported and a rapid response contingency fund that is available to LGUs to use when responding to a new infestation. Rapid Response Plan Eradication is always the primary goal of a rapid response plan. Failing to completely eradicate AIS from a waterbody means that the infestation will be a reoccurring problem in future years. Unfortunately, as is often the case, once AIS is established in a waterbody, successful eradication is unlikely,which further emphasizes the importance of prevention and early detection monitoring. The final response plan may have one of several possible goals relating to the infestation, such as containing the entirety of the AIS infestation within a given area, suppressing the population in order to slow its spread to other parts of the lake or river, or containing the AIS and preventing its spread to new locations by completely eradicating it. It is important to keep in mind that not all AIS infestations will necessitate a rapid response effort going into effect, so each new AIS infestation will be responded to on a case-by-case basis. The Dakota County AIS Advisory Committee utilized resources produced by the MN DNR to develop a rapid response plan for new infestations in 2017. The Dakota County AIS Rapid Response Plan: page 63 • Focuses on rapid response for new and isolated AIS occurrences • Is adaptable to be useful in a variety for different species and waterbody types • Aligns with the MN DNR AIS Rapid Response Plan For more information, see MN DNR's AIS Rapid Response Plan,go to the subheading 'Responsibilities.' Rapid Response Contingency Fund A portion of the funding provided to Dakota County through the Local AIS Prevention Aid Grant is set aside on an annual basis to assist with rapid response activities in the county. Because all AIS infestations are unique, rapid response procedures will be initiated in partnership with, and following recommendations by, state and/or local agencies. Once a response plan for a new infestation has been decided upon, contingency funds are made available to LGUs. These funds can be used for direct response activities such as monitoring or treatment (chemicals, staff, supplies) or for public engagement (community notifications, outreach activities, educational materials). Outreach and Education One of the keys to successfully preventing AIS from spreading is to engage the public on AIS issues (major species of concern and their potential impact) and to communicate the importance of personal responsibility regarding prevention. In doing this, Dakota County will continue to explore partnership opportunities with local businesses and community organizations, strengthen existing relationships with LGUs and lake associations, and support established outreach campaigns (such as those developed by the MN DNR and Minnesota Sea Grant)to promote consistent messaging across the County. Outreach Materials Roundtable discussions with LGUs often focus on partnership opportunities. Discussions have indicated that all parties would be best served by the County developing AIS-related outreach materials and supporting educational programming that could be used throughout the County. Using this direction, the County has purchased or created various AIS outreach materials to be shared with partners. Purchased materials include AIS identification guides, brochures, and specialty items. page 64 The County created waterproof bathymetric maps for Lake Byllesby, Crystal Lake, and Lake Marion with information related in invasive species laws, regulations, and best management. These materials are available to County residents and have been handed out at the County Fair, provided to Starry Trek volunteers and attendees of other outreach events, and distributed by watercraft inspectors at local boat launches. In 2020, Dakota County hired a consultant to develop an educational display to promote behavior change and to move Dakota County residents to 'care about' and ultimately 'care for' preventing the spread of aquatic invasive species, using a social marketing approach.

' WALL Youth and Family Outreach Programs The Dakota CnuntyA|S Committee will continue to promote and support education activities that serve various groups within local communities. Both the AIS Detectors program and WHEP have been cornerstones to the Committee's outreach campaign. Supporting volunteer engagement through these programs has increased the number of volunteers trained in AIS identification and reporting who can then support local AIS efforts. For the past several years, Dakota County has contributed both financially and in-kind to the Metro Area Children's Water Festival, an annual water education event organized for children in the Minneapolis/St. Paul metropolitan area. The purpose of the festival is to educate fourth grade students from local schools about water related topics including water quality and quantity, macrninvertebrates, and aquatic invasive species. Each year, 200 to 250 students from schools in Dakota County participate in hands-on opportunities to learn about water and its importance to people and the natural environment. The goal is to engage students about ways they can help ensure future protection and management of water quality and quantity. In recent years, AIS has taken on a page 67 larger focus at the festival, serving as a first point of contact for many children to not only learn about AIS, but also find out what they can do to help prevent the spread. Dakota County has hosted a rendezvous sites for Starry Trek, a single day AIS volunteer monitoring event organized by the University of Minnesota Extension and MAISRC, since it began in 2017. The statewide monitoring effort has averaged over 220 volunteers monitoring local lakes for AIS each year and has resulted in 42 new infestations being reported. At Starry Trek, volunteers participate in a brief AIS identification and monitoring training before heading to local boat launches to search for AIS. Suspected AIS are collected and returned to the coordinator at the rendezvous site for identification confirmation and reporting. In 2018, Dakota County volunteers discovered a zebra mussel infestation in Lake Isabelle in Hastings; an infestation that would probably not have been discovered had there not been volunteers participating in the event. The Dakota County rendezvous location has had the highest number of volunteers participate in the event each year and feedback from the event continues to be glowing as volunteers are excited to learn more skills and want to continue to be engaged in other monitoring activities in the county. Grant Program In 2017,the Dakota County AIS Committee started a grant program. The program's goal is to promote and support AIS management or education efforts by local organizations within the county. Those eligible to propose projects and compete for available funds include local municipalities, townships,watershed organizations, lake associations, and non-profits located in Dakota County. Collaborative proposals between partner groups are recommended to strengthen the effectiveness and positive outcomes of a given project. Projects must be conducted on waterbodies or waterways within Dakota County. The County considers a range of project proposals including: • Early detection and population assessment • Management of new or established AIS populations • Watercraft inspection and decontamination programs • Education and outreach activities and resource development The grant program is held on an annual basis in late winter/early spring in order to align with field season planning and permit application due dates. Since its inception, the program has: • Funded 17 different projects at$156,000 (40%of funding spent across three years) • Leveraged $136,000 in matching funds contributed by partner organizations. • Grantees include: o Cities o Watersheds o Lake associations • Funded projects include: o Watercraft inspections on local lakes o Outreach materials o Rapid response plan development o Early detection monitoring o Vegetation management page 68 AIS observations being made on Crystal Lake in 2019 by Blue Water Science.This project was made possible,because the City of Burnsville recieved an AIS Grant from Dakota County b u . . C u The grant program has been a successful tool for supporting partner organizations as they are on the frontline for AIS management and outreach activities in the county. The program will continue to be a key strategy employed by the Dakota County AIS Committee to forge relationships with outside entities and promote for conservation and education opportunities. o o q o 0 0 / o 0 0 / L } } Itt 6 / » � z m » ® } m m m m m m \ \ _ � 0 0 \ / / 0 / 0 / / \ § R � / � 3 \ \ � 3 / \ m m m m m m m m - � 0 � 0 k 0 § � / \ N � / » � z m a m c m m m m m m m m - � k E § k k 0 § L / \ & o ® / � » z m » ® � N � m � m m m m m m % - � � � � � 0 / o 0 0 00 c c o / o 0 o S c } 0 O & / » Lr z r-4 m m m m m m m m - | � � r-4 / O ® r » \ % - S ° § { 2 0 \ @ ° u ƒ \ _ \ t u g o � q " / \ ( / uo \ \ § \ \ k 2 2 y ) / c o 7 � 5 & \ c \ \ c 3 \ / & _% R t ( / ( 0 CL m E < / 2 k \ \ ( CL \ } Ln » / E 2 ® \Ln E D 7 \ 3 o ® t z 5 - § ° z / 2 k / 0 < » ( c \ < \ @ u @ J � \ _ \ Ln- / \ \ y < > / } / \ D CL U 7 � O � § § � . .

Rogers Lake is a shallow, 107-acre lake located just east of 35E in Mendota Heights, with a watershed of 470 acres that includes highway, residential, institutional and park land uses. There is a city Park on Wagon Wheel Trail that provides a public access, fishing pier, picnic grounds,trails, volleyball court, skate park, and play structure. City ordinance allows only electric motors on the lake; gas powered motors are prohibited.The lake is highly regarded and utilized within the community as well as with non-resident visitors for a variety of recreational uses such as fishing, boating, cross-country skiing, and snow-shoeing. Rogers Lake also provides habitat for a wide variety of aquatic, avian, and other animal species not often found in the Metro Area. It is located near the Mississippi River Flyway and many migratory avian species are often spotted here. Curly-Leaf Pondweed (CLP)was discovered in the lake as part of a macrophyte survey completed in 2012. Due to the shallow depth, CLP has had the opportunity to become quite dense throughout the lake in recent years, affecting boating, fishing, and water quality.Although water quality remains above average by shallow lake standards, secchi disc readings and water clarity have decreased. CLP was treated for the first time in 2019, and in 2020 and 2021 as a result of obtaining an AIS grant from Dakota County, with positive effects. The City and Lake Association have partnered in the past and will continue to partner on this program and others to help improve and maintain the quality of Rogers Lake.The City and Lake Association completed a Curl-leaf pondweed survey in 2021, in order to monitor CLP populations, accurately treat areas of heavy infestation, identify areas of native vegetation to avoid, and gauge the progress of the treatments. This survey was a Spring Delineation only,which limited the amount of aquatic species that could be recorded, both native and invasive. The City and Association would like to complete both a Spring Delineation as well as a Summer Point Intercept Survey in 2022 in order to collect data on Curly Leaf Pondweed populations within the lake, but also native vegetation populations, and any additional or emerging aquatic invasive species that may be present in the lake. The goal of the project in 2022 would be to 1) Remove and manage as much of the current population of Curly-Leaf pondweed as feasible, 2) Identify and monitor annually the extent of the population within the lake, as well as identify additional or emerging aquatic invasive species and 3) Prevent the spread of aquatic invasive species from entering or leaving Rogers Lake as well as other water bodies. WORK PLAN: Early Spring/Ice-out: Hire consultant to complete a Spring Delineation for the entire lake, identifying areas of CLP, and monitoring the affects of the 2021 treatment. March-April: Develop and begin distribution of educational materials on AIS, including Curly Leaf Pondweed and other invasive species, and how to prevent their spread. Distribute educational pamphlet to all residents in the Rogers Lake watershed (Approximately 200 properties) and surrounding neighborhoods. March-September: Regularly distribute educational materials via social media, the City's website, and weekly e-newsletters, as well as a quarterly publication. April: Hire certified, professional applicator to provide in-lake treatment of curly-leaf pondweed. Provide materials on AIS identification and prevention at the City's Earth and Arbor Day event. Spring 2022 and going forward: Present educational materials at community events such as the annual Association meeting, Roger's Lake Fishing Derby,the Earth and Arbor Day Celebration, and the Mendota Heights Parks Celebration. Summer 2022: Hire consultant to perform a Summer Point Intercept Survey. Monitor results of treatment and discuss options for further management moving forward. page 81 Expected outcomes include a greatly reduced CLP population, allowing for the growth and restoration of the native aquatic plant community within the lake, identification of any other present or emerging AIS within the lake, as well as greater overall awareness of AIS, and how to prevent its spread. 2) Outcomes: What benefits will be realized within Dakota County as a result of this project,if funded? • Create a better understanding of the submerged, aquatic vegetation within Rogers Lake, both invasive and native. • Develop and implement a working, prolonged management plan for Aquatic Invasive Species, while promoting healthy growth of native aquatic vegetation. • The Lake Association along with the City,will strive to create a public awareness of what a healthy lake means, and work towards creating this state in Rogers Lake. • Continue to develop and create a healthy habitat for aquatic and other wildlife species within Rogers Lake. 3) Project Eva uation:How will you determine and measure success in ways that are meaningful to citizens and decision makers? • Resident surveys, measuring awareness of AIS • Monitor populations through in-lake delineations and point intercept surveys • Regular lake monitoring of AIS throughout the lake 4) Required Approvals: Please list any required permits and status of approvals required for project implementation. Indicate whether the project has received support or approval from the Minnesota DNR, City,or Watershed Management Organization with local water planning authority. The City has obtained an Aquatic Plant Management(APM)permit from the Minnesota DNR in past years of treatment and will apply for an APM permit for the 2022 management season once a consultant has been chosen. No other permits are required from other local water management organizations,districts,or agencies. 5) Project Partners: Provide names,affiliations,contact information and roles of partners directly involved in this project. The City plans to partner with the Rogers Lake Association in all aspects of the project,whenever feasible.Any findings and data received as a result of the delineation and point intercept survey will also be shared with the County,the Lower Mississippi River WMO,and the public. 6) Additional Information: Please include any additional information you would like to share with us regarding your project proposal. The Rogers Lake Association together with the City has developed an educational pamphlet for distribution.The City plans to coordinate with the Rogers Lake Association to continue with education and outreach in the watershed and surrounding neighborhoods and plans to print and fund postage in- house.The City also has partnered with the association and will continue to do so in educational efforts at association meetings that include residents that own shoreline property,as well as residents within the watershed.This is included in the in-kind and cash match listed below.Any other educational expenses will be incurred by the City as cash as well as in-kind match. page 82 Project Expenditures List the objectives that will comprise your project and estimated cost of each objective.

(Appendix A, Figure 1).The parcel is in Section 36,Township 28 North, Range 23 West. The wetland delineation was completed in accordance with the 1987 United States Army Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual and the published regional supplement to the Army Corps Wetland Delineation Manual, Midwest Regional Supplement. The purpose of this study was to identify areas meeting the technical criteria for wetlands, delineate the jurisdictional extent of the wetland basins, and classify the wetland habitats in the project area. Fieldwork for this site investigation was completed by Ben Hodapp and Wyatt Benton on April 19, 2022. The weather was sunny and 47 degrees Fahrenheit. METHODOLOGY U.S. Geologic Service 7.5" Topographic Quadrangle maps, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service National Wetland Inventory (NWI) maps, Minnesota Department of Natural Resources Public Water Inventory (PWI) maps, U.S. Department of Agriculture Natural Resources Conservation Service Soil Survey, and available aerial photographs were consulted to initially locate potential wetland habitats. Routine On-site Determination Method was used during this investigation. In this method, the following procedures were used: 1. The vegetative community was sampled in all present strata to determine whether it met hydrophytic vegetation criteria based on the indicators identified in the Midwest Regional Supplement. 2. Soil pits were dug using a Dutch auger to depths of sixteen to thirty-six inches.The soil profile was noted in addition to any hydric soil characteristics. 3. Signs of wetland hydrology were noted and compared to field criteria such as depth to shallow water table and depth of soil saturation found in the soil pits. Data from sample points were recorded on Army Corps of Engineers Midwest Region Wetland Determination Data Forms(Appendix B).At least one sample point transect crosses the delineated wetland edge.This transect consists of an upland sample point and a wetland sample point. Other sample points may be in areas which have one or more other wetland criteria present; where questionable conditions exist; or to verify the absence of wetland criteria. Photographs of each resource is included in the resource review summary pages. The identified aquatic resource was marked with sequentially numbered pink flags and ribbon. All sample points and the delineated aquatic resource extent were located using a Trimble Geo XH sub-meter GPS unit. Delineated resources were evaluated using Board of Soil and Water Resource's Minnesota Routine Assessment Method version 3.2 (MnRAM). Information from desktop and field assessment was evaluated in the system and a management classification ranging from exceptional quality to low quality is output as Preserve, Manage 1, Manage 2, and Manage 3. Resulting classifications are typically utilized in development planning. page 100 RESOURCE REVIEW The below described data were reviewed as part of the aquatic resource field delineation. A summary of each resource contained within the project area follows. NATIONAL WETLANDS INVENTORY The National Wetlands Inventory identifies one PABH wetland in the project area (Appendix A, Figure 2). USDA—NATURAL RESOURCES CONSERVATION SERVICE SOIL SURVEY Soil survey data for Dakota County was obtained and reviewed prior to the delineation. Table 2 provides a list of the mapped soils in the project area. Figure 3 in Appendix A depicts USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service mapped soils within the project categorized by total percentage of hydric components.

MINNESOTA DEPARTMENT OF NATURAL RESOURCES PUBLIC WATER INVENTORY The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources Public Water Inventory for Dakota County identifies public water 19010300 in the project extent (Appendix A, Figure 4). 30-DAY ROLLING PRECIPITATION DATA A review of the 30-day rolling precipitation data collected from the University of Minnesota Climatology Working Group (Appendix D) indicates that precipitation totals for the weeks prior to the site visit were above the range of average in the general project area. However, the overall hydrologic conditions were suitable for completing an accurate wetland determination and boundary delineation. page 101 RESOURCE 1 FIELDDELINEATED 4/19/2022 FIELD INVESTIGATION CONCLAX USION y; Wetland RESOURCE TYPE 0.23-Acre TOTAL AREA WITHIN ECB 16-Acres TOTAL EST.AREA Seasonally Flooded Basin/Open EGGERS&REED Water Wetland/Shrub Carr R Type 1/5/6 CIRCULAR 39 PABH/SS1A/EM1A I COWARDIN �•, J 1.b I f � . ;� ' ` 9 � Preserve MnRAM= It DOMINANT HYDROPHYTIC VEGETATION Corpus alba Red osier dogwood 1 Rhamnus cathartica European Buckthorn ,ram Populus deltoides Eastern Cottonwood HYDRIC SOIL INDICATORS Depleted Below Dark Surface All Depleted Matrix F3 WETLAND HYDROLOGY DETERMINATION High Water Table A2 Saturation A3 rQ `a r FAC-Neutral Test D2 Geomorphic Position D5 mom Viewing West Gradual Transition to Wetland DESKTOP REVIEW HYDRIC RATING-SOIL UNIT(S) Non-Hydric—Jewett Silt Loam;8 to 15 Percent Slopes NATIONAL WETLAND INVENTORY PABH PUBLIC WATER INVENTORY Yes-19010300 DISCUSSION The resource consists of a seasonally flooded basin and shrub carr wetland complex bordering an open water wetland. RATIONALE FOR DETERMINATION The wetland above the waterline is dominated by red osier dogwood and European buckthorn. Vegetation had been cleared prior to the field visit. Overall, the resource was delineated based on topography, hydric soils and wetland hydrology.The upland plant community was dominated by European buckthorn and eastern cottonwood. ATYPICAL/PROBLEMATICCONDITIONS Much of the vegetation onsite had been cleared prior to field visit.Antecedent precipitation was higher than the normal monthly average at the time of field visit,however,conditions were deemed suitable for delineation. CONSISTENCY WITH DESKTOP REVIEW NWI inventoried areas were found to be generally correct-,however,additional wetland areas were delineated outside of the NWI mapped PABH wetland. 'Appendix B contains wetland determination data forms supporting this investigated resource: Wet Point(s): 1A Up Point(s): 1 B 2 Appendix E contains Mn RAM output page 102 CONCLUSION A total of one wetland, or portions thereof, was identified and delineated within the project area and in accordance with the 1987 United States Army Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual. Project area aquatic resources may be regulated by several agencies at the local, state, and/or federal level. Activities which may potentially impact wetlands should be discussed in advance with the appropriate regulating agency regarding potential permit requirements.The Local Government Unit(LGU) responsible for implementing the Minnesota Wetland Conservation Act at this project location is the City of Mendota Heights. The City may require vegetated buffers around all regulated wetland areas. Wetland buffers must meet the standards specified by the City for any project that is regulated under the Wetland Conservation Act. This wetland investigation meets the standards and criteria described in the 1987 United States Army Corps of Engineers Wetland Delineation Manual and all applicable subsequent guidance for an on-site determination. The results reflect the conditions present at the time of the delineation. I certify that I performed the field analysis and/or wrote the report for this wetland determination.

BACKGROUND As part of the City's 2040 Comprehensive Plan process, the need for an update to the City's existing Natural Resources Management Plan was identified. Phase 1 of the NRMP was presented to the City Council at its February 2, 2021 meeting. At this same meeting, council approved a contract with Resource Environmental Solutions (f/k/a Applied Ecological Services) for Phase 2 of the plan. A NRMP Steering Committee was formed as a result of work done on the 2040 Comprehensive Plan. It is comprised of four residents (Cindy Johnson, Leslie Pilgrim, Sue Light, and Will Stein), who were assisted by the City's Natural Resources Coordinator and Public Works Director. The Steering Committee has been instrumental in providing insight and review of NRMP plan elements. The current NRMP draft is the result of the guidance of the Steering Committee and the work- performed by RES, including historical and existing information and data gathering, as well as implementation approaches and future steps towards natural resources management, restoration, and preservation throughout the City. The NRMP Update is intended to provide vision, principles, and goals; as well as a framework and road map for enhancing, expanding, connecting, and protecting the City's natural resources into the future. DISCUSSION RES has completed a final draft of an update to the NRMP, which will be presented to the City Council and public. page148 The final draft of the NRMP includes the following: • Introduction and background • Historical and existing natural resources throughout the City • Management and conservation concepts and models • Implementation approaches and planning city-wide, as well as for specific sites • Future implementation of a city-wide natural resources plan for Mendota Heights, including priorities, implementation steps, funding, and a five-year phased implementation plan BUDGET IMPACT The first phase of the NRMP was authorized by the City Council in the amount of$71,276, for which a draft was completed in 2021. Phase 2 has now been completed for a total of$54,161; $55,000 was provided for this purpose in the 2021 Operating Budget. RECOMMENDATION After hearing a presentation on the completed Natural Resource Management Plan, staff recommends that the City Council accept the plan as submitted by RES. ACTION REQUIRED After hearing the presentation on the NRMP update, if the Council so wishes, it should pass a motion accepting the final draft of the updated Natural Resources Management Plan. This action requires a simple majority vote. page149 8b. 1101 Victoria Curve I Mendota Heigh s,T4 MIS 651.452.1850 phone I 651.452.8940 fax www.mendota-heights.cnm OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS Request for City Council Action DATE: May 17, 2022 TO: Mayor, City Council, and City Administrator FROM: Ryan Ruzek, P.E., Public Works Director SUBJECT: Resolution 2022-40 Approve Plans and Authorize an Advertisement for Bids for the Wentworth Park Paving Improvements INTRODUCTION The Council is asked to approve Resolution 2022-40 approving plans and authorizing an advertisement for bids for the repaving of the parking lot, trails, and hockey rink at Wentworth Park. BACKGROUND Mendota Heights was approved for an Outdoor Recreation Grant from the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources for improvements to Wentworth which included a playground replacement, construction of a new warming house/community building, and paving of the parking lot and trails. DISCUSSION The city is restricted by State law from issuing contracts greater than $175,000 without competitive bidding. Staff solicited quotes from three contractors through direct negotiation. The bids for the parking lot and trails is under the competitive bidding threshold but adding in the hockey rink would exceed the $175,000 limit and require competitive bids. The Outdoor Recreation Grant received, is proposing to still fund this project without construction of the warming house if the hockey rink is paved and trail connections added to the basketball court, hockey rink, and pavilion structures. The city would then still receive the entire $180,000 grant amount. BUDGET IMPACT The original grant submittal identified $150,000 for the playground replacement, $90,000 for the parking lot/trails, and $150,000 for the warming house for a total of$390,000. $180,000 was the requested grant amount. The city completed the playground replacement for a cost of$147,000. Replacing the parking lot and trails is currently estimated at$150,000 in today's dollars. The estimate to pave the hockey rink is $75,000. The total estimated amount to complete the paving at Wentworth is $225,000. page 150 The city has also expended funds from the special park fund for the warming house project which is currently estimated at$24,600 for architectural fees, soil borings, and a topographic survey. This work will still be useful as the city determines the future of a building at this park. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the Council approves the plans and authorizes an advertisement for bids for the Wentworth Park Paving Improvements. ACTION REQUIRED If City Council wishes to implement the staff recommendations, it should pass a motion adopting Resolution 2022-40, APPROVING FINAL PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS,AND AUTHORIZING ADVERTISEMENT FOR BIDS FOR THE WENTWORTH PARK PAVING IMPROVEMENTS. This action requires a simple majority vote. page 151 CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS DAKOTA COUNTY, MINNESOTA RESOLUTION 2022-40 A RESOLUTION APPROVING FINAL PLANS AND SPECIFICATIONS,AND AUTHORIZING ADVERTISEMENT FOR BIDS FOR THE WENTWORTH PARK PAVING IMPROVEMENTS WHEREAS, the Public Works Director reported that the proposed improvements and construction thereof were feasible, desirable, necessary, and cost effective, and further reported on the proposed costs of said improvements and construction thereof, and WHEREAS, the City Council has heretofore directed the Public Works Director to proceed with the preparation of plans and specifications thereof, and WHEREAS, the Public Works Director has prepared plans and specifications for said improvements and have presented such plans and specifications to the City Council for approval.

The layout options generated from this contract can be used for public engagement and potential submittal of a Local Partnership Program (LPP) grant from the Minnesota Department of Transportation. BACKGROUND Upon completion of the Dodd Road improvements in 2018, the city and MnDOT have received a number of comments on certain design changes making some intersections less safe. The city worked with MnDOT on options to improve the perceived deficiencies. In November, 2021 the City Council directed staff to establish a traffic solutions committee to study traffic issues at Highway 62 and Dodd Road. An official Traffic Solutions Committee has not been convened, however, Police Chief McCarthy and Public Works Director Ryan Ruzek continue to work MnDOT and Dakota County to comprehensively look at Dodd Road traffic safety concerns. Improvements on Dodd Road between Decorah Lane/Wagon Wheel Trail and Keokuk Lane is a consideration in fulfilling the Council's directive. DISCUSSION The Mendota Heights Capital Improvement Plan identifies the reconstruction of the Friendly Hills neighborhood in 2024. A proposed element of this improvement would be to realign Decorah Lane to create a four intersection with Wagon Wheel Trail, including potential intersection controls. There will also be options studied that do not include a realignment of this intersection. To further improve safety along Dodd Road, MnDOT recommended additional improvements which include turn lanes at Keokuk Lane and closing the skewed intersection of Pagel Road. (See attached graphic). page 154 MnDOT's Local Partnership Program was created to help fund projects that deliver a benefit to both the local community and the trunk highway system but are typically not large-scale or critical enough that they are directly selected or programmed in MnDOT's regular funding streams. The LPP program has an application deadline of June 1, 2022 for funding in fiscal year of 2024. The LPP grant program has a maximum award amount of$710,000 which would reduce the local funds required for this improvement. The main requirements of the grant submittal include a project narrative, a geometric layout or concept sketch, and a cost estimate. BUDGET IMPACT It is anticipated that these costs will be held by the city until the actual project is completed in 2024. Three quotes were submitted for this project. The low Quote submitted by TKDA is for a not-to- exceed amount of$5,500 for the services identified in the attached proposal. Additional services will be billed at the Master Agreement for Professional Services hourly rate. The other two quotes for this service are $8,560 and $14,000. RECOMMENDATION Staff is recommending that the Council authorize the professional services contract with TKDA to assist Mendota Heights with developing layout options for improvements to Dodd Road. ACTION REQUIRED If Council wishes to act on the staff recommendation, council should,pass a motion authorizing a professional services contract with TKDA for the development of layout options for improvements to Dodd Road. The fee is for a not-to-exceed amount of$5,500. This action requires a simple majority vote. �e 155 - Ia �� 41�` Of cc C3 I 1 1 a �- ! �E+ .•d..: «� � ^`p- ,MF y ate„ . r , x _ � r m_ l 4—� + ' -ypT .: l m� u k F Ate. a , + e , s a: — r iY s ! tr,.
