FGreen Guide now the Recycling and Disposal Guide For years, residents have referred to the Green Guide distributed by Dakota County REnvironmental Management to find out where to properly dispose of household waste. The county has decided to rename this resource the Recycling and Disposal Guide. The content will be the same, county staff just felt the new name is more descriptive and easier for web surfers to find. The Recycling and Disposal Guide is a one-stop source for information on disposal of D everyday waste, as well as those things we sometimes hang onto for too long like electronics, household hazardous waste, paints, etc. The electronic format allows county staff to keep the resource up-to-date on local service providers and special Aevents at The Recycling Zone on Dodd Road, just south of Highway 55. The guide can be found on the Dakota County web page and all Dakota County Yresidents will receive a mailing regarding the change in the next couple of weeks. New Mendakota Playground Equipment Mendakota Park recently received a new piece of equipment, a play structure suitable N for two to five year old children, designed to compliment the larger play system at the park. Work crews had difficulty keeping families off of the equipment during the construction process. The project also included replacement of the poured -in-place Erubber surfacing to make the equipment fully accessible for all of our residents and guests. W Thank you goes out the Parks and Recreation Commission for their input into the design and selection of this new equipment. Please check out the park and the new equipment when you have time. S City Council Meeting Next week's city council meeting will still be held on Tuesday, but will not start until 8:30 p.m. due to the election. The agenda will be light but there will still be a meeting. The meeting will be televised and start as close to 8:30 p.m. as possible. October 29, 2010 Winter Parking Rules Our winter parking rules will go into effect on Monday, November 1, 2010. There is no parking on city streets between 2:00 a.m. and 6:00 a.m. November 1st through March 31st. If the city issues a snow emergency it will be broadcast on all public media outlets. During a snow emergency there is no parking on a city street until it is plowed curb to curb. Abiding by these rules will enable city staff to keep the streets clear of snow and ice which makes the streets safe to travel on throughout the winter. The 2009-2010 snow season was an excellent example of how the Public Works crews were able to keep the streets clear benefitting all of us all winter long. If you have questions on the winter parking rules please contact the Police or Public Works Departments. A Busy Few Days This will be a busy weekend around Mendota Heights. On Saturday, City Hall will be open from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. for absentee voting. Sunday will feature the annual bonfire and trick or treating around the neighborhoods.

The young girl was School Resource transported to Children's Hospital by HealthEast medics. Officer Steven Meyer Fleeing / DWI Saturday 0236 hours Investigations Officer Shepard attempted to stop a vehicle for speeding on Mario Reyes Mendota Heights Road. After activating his lights and siren the Tan Sergeants vehicle fled from him. The suspect darted into a neighborhood p g Neil Garlock and fled on foot from his vehicle. A DCSO K-9 unit, along with Brian Convert' officers from Eagan and Inver Grove Heights assisted in the Eric Petersen search for the suspect.

The complainant brought the pylons to MHPD to turn over to Officer Patrick. Officer Patrick noted no markings or labels were on the pylons to return to the owner, as well as being in poor condition. The pylons were disposed of at MHPD. Fraud Sunday 1024 hours Caller reported that she was notified by the bank of two possible fraudulent transactions actions on their account. The account was already closed by the time they were notified. The victim could only think of two fast food places where the card was used in immediate proximity to the fraud. Both transactions were cancelled so there was no loss. Credit card companies have developed sophisticated algorithms that run constantly on all card uses and as people develop standard purchasing patterns they watch for deviation and turn over suspicious activity to their customer service or fraud departments to follow up. Some are great for law enforcement and customers to work with and some are far more challenging.

When times are tough the public works crew is often left cleaning up old appliances, furniture and trash when it is tossed on the side of the road. This is the second complaint in as many weeks. Fortunately for the City, the first pile was dumped on private property and the owner was stuck with the clean up bill. Weather Tuesday 1700 hours MHPD officers took over 20 calls for service due to the extremely windy conditions on Tuesday and Wednesday this week. Calls for service included downed power lines, downed trees which were blocking roads, alarms due to power outages, and an injury crash at Hwy 110 and Dodd Road due to no semaphore lights working.

Richard Tsong-Taatarii , Star Tribune Shawn Mathison of Savage checked out an ATV at the Pawn America store in Burnsville, where licensing fees have been slashed by the City Council. The owner of a pawnshop chain wants change statewide. But police chiefs say his proposals could make it harder to recover stolen property. By JOY POWELL, Star Tribune Last update: October 27, 2010 - 11:55 PM Police chiefs are blasting a proposal by the Advertisement Brad Rixmann, owner of the chain, said ordinance changes made in Burnsville could be a model for what he'd like to see statewide. After a long push by Rixmann, the Burnsville City Council has slashed his pawnshop licensing fee from $10,000 to $100 and ended a $2.50 per -transaction fee the business was paying to help maintain a database of pawnshop information that police share. And under a new ordinance, fewer kinds of merchandise will be tracked as it is pawned and resold. Burnsville Police Chief Bob Hawkins and other chiefs are contacting law agencies and policymakers statewide, saying they believe restrictions on Burnsville's investigative capabilities and Rixmann's other suggestions could make stolen property harder to recover. "Obviously, he had some success in Burnsville, and.he was trying to take that on the road and get the same type of a HEART SATURDAY, DECEMBER 18 ON SALE SATURDAY, OCTOBER 30 AYS+ic LAKE' CASINO- HOTEL 0*n4wd Opened byft Ra4pwvdtaIanawSw ox",uVD mysticlake.com Print Powered By d Fc i - tDynamics http://www.startribune.com/templates/fdcp?1288263924270 10/28/2010 Format Dynamics:: C1eanPrint :: http://www.startribune.com/local/south/105924273.htm...

Rixmann, however, says the changes won't hamper police, and he said he's long helped law enforcement solve crimes. He says pawnshops have been unfairly singled out in the second-hand retail industry, and that others should be monitored as well -- as Burnsville is preparing to do soon with some jewelry, camera, antiques and other shops that resell merchandise. Pawn America has 22 stores, mostly in Minnesota but also in Wisconsin, North Dakota and South Dakota. Rixmann said he'll keep helping police, and that with more kinds of resellers monitored, more crimes can be solved. "We are doing everything right, and other people are doing things right as well," Rixmann said. "We just all need to work together to advance the ball in the right direction." Many police leaders aren't convinced. In August, the Dakota County Chiefs of Police Association distributed a letter to Advertisement governmental leaders, saying the change that Rixmann lobbied for in Burnsville has jeopardized police officers' ability to investigate crimes and shifted tens of thousands of dollars in fees to taxpayers. Hawkins said the ordinance that took effect July 1 "restricts" pawnshop regulation. Before the change, Burnsville police tracked just about anything pawned. Now, many items, including sporting goods, are no longer regulated or entered into the monitoring software. The city opted to monitor only goods most likely to be stolen: jewelry, precious metals, firearms, audio - video equipment, office equipment and some power tools. "In general, there is less regulation of the pawn shops," said Burnsville Police Capt. Eric Werner. "They are reporting fewer transactions, and the expense for the transaction is now borne by the city as opposed to a fee that is passed through the pawnshops or second-hand goods industry to their customers."

He suggested that the city switch from a database used by Minnesota and Wisconsin police to a private Texas firm that sells software also used to track pawn -shop inventories. "You had this business coming in, working to eliminate licensing fees and transaction fees -- and then took it upon themselves to write a draft ordinance that eliminated my authority to choose what I thought was the best resource to monitor them," Hawkins said. Rixmann said he was offering an option that's less costly than the Automated Pawn System (APS), the database of pawn information that police share electronically in Minnesota and Wisconsin. Minneapolis owns the software and bills cities for each transaction, and they in turn typically bill the pawnshops. Most cities add onto the $1 fee that Minneapolis has been charging. In Burnsville, that added up to $2.50 per transaction, which Rixmann paid. Of that, $1.50 went into the city's general fiend. Burnsville recently got the $l fee dropped to 60 cents -- which the city will now pay to Minneapolis. APS, developed by Minneapolis police in the Advertisement 1990s, has helped solve crimes by linking pawned goods to suspects. Hawkins pointed to cases in his city: a 2003 church arson and a 2008 arson that came after a Burnsville man was nearly stabbed and burned to death during a home invasion. Rixmann wants cities to consider using LeadsOnline, the service based in Dallas. Operating as his governmental liaison in meetings, including with the state public safety officials, has been Dan Kealey, a Burnsville City Council member who works for Pawn America. Kealey recused himself from voting on the issue in his city. LeadsOnline says on its website that it is the nation's largest online investigation system used to solve crimes, with more than 200 million records used by more than 1,300 law enforcement agencies. But Hawkins said if Burnsville had switched, its police would have been unable to share information with other Minnesota police agencies, He worried that companies' vulnerable information might not be secure, and that his officers would be able to access less information overall. "No one here in Minnesota that I know of uses LeadsOnline," said West St. Paul Police ovEr;<'$13- 0, 000 IAI CASH Arca PRIZES!

We don't want to change APS." Rixmann said he's long worked to legitimize the pawn industry. He said he's paid a $10,000 licensing fee because of one word -- pawn -- and the stigma that goes with it. He added that he helped Minneapolis police start APS, which he said became a million - dollar industry, and an expense to his business.

Engineering Highway 55/Mendota Heights Road Intersection - Private utilities have been relocated allowing the contractor to begin work on the street. Pavement has been removed and new storm sewer installed east of TH 55. Pavement has been removed, the road expansion is being graded and compacted, and the gravel base installation has begun. New storm sewer is being installed and new curb and gutter installation is scheduled to begin today (10/29). The first lift of asphalt is expected late next week along with remaining Right -of -Way grading and possible seeding. As always weather will determine the amount of work that can be accomplished and will largely drive the construction schedule. Residents should be aware of traffic revisions at this intersection due to construction through the end of December. Water Tower Rehabilitation - The new strobe lights on top of the water tower have been turned on signaling the completion of the project. The contractor is cleaning up the site and we anticipate final billing being processed in November. Saint Paul Regional Water Service is now responsible for maintenance of the water tower, but the City is retaining ownership of the facility. 2011 Street Reconstruction Project (Wagon Wheel Trail) - Staff held an information neighborhood meeting on the upcoming project on Thursday (10/28) evening at the Holy Family Church on Lexington, across form City Hall. Roughly 40 residents attended. After a short presentation from Staff, residents asked questions and voiced their concerns. Most of the concerns centered around speed and/or volume of traffic, storm water drainage, trail construction, stop signs, and assessment valuation and payment. This information will be presented as part of the formal Public Hearing before City Council Public Hearing is scheduled for the November 16th Council meeting. Notices will be sent to the affected property owners informing them of the Public Hearing. Project is proposed to reconstruct Wagon Wheel Trail from Lexington Avenue to Dodd Road, install storm sewer with curb & gutter, and provide for a pedestrian trail along the length of the project.

CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS AAAr_o_� MEMO DATE: October 26, 2010 TO: City Council, Commission Members, and City Administrator FROM: Jake Sedlacek, Assistant to the City Administratof�r\S SUBJECT: Pre -Application Meeting Synopsis There was no planning meeting on October 11, 2010 due to a lack of appointments. Staff met with five potential planning applicants on Monday, October 25, 2010. Steve Grittman, John Mazzitello and Jake Sedlacek were present. Amy Kamarainen — concept: theatre and event hall Ms. Kamarainen is seeking a location for a 500 seat theatre that would also be used as an event center, somewhere near ISD 196. Ms. Kamarainen has a small business offering drama programs to local elementary schools, and has had difficulty locating an appropriately sized theatre for shows. Staff answered a number of questions about code, and provided Ms. Kamarainen instructions on how to submit a code amendment, as her ideal location requires a modification to the 1 -industrial zone to allow the event center. Ms. Kamarainen is considering submittal for the November Planning Commission meeting. Lansing Shepard, Jay and Becky Debertin, re 2155 Delaware Jay and Becky Debertin are in conversations with the Shepard family about the potential purchase of 2155 Delaware. The two parties met with staff to discuss how code applies to the site as a single family residential property zoned as Rl-A. The site is currently existing - nonconforming, and can be transferred as it is. There was also conversation about utilities, and potential site improvements. Staff thanked the parties for coming in to get versed on code so early in the process. Victor Pearlbachs, re 680 Hwy 110, MH United Church of Christ) Mr. Pearlbachs, along with church staff presented concept plans for an expansion of the church at 680 Hwy 110. The expansion is being considered as a means to free up space for the on-site childcare facility. Staff reviewed the conditional use permit submission requirements, and discussed alternatives for utility service to the site, which is surrounded by the undeveloped Dodge Nature Center property. The church still needs to discuss the concept plan as a congregation — if it is supported at that level, submission of the conditional use permit is anticipated for the January Planning Commission meeting. Denny Trooien, 1110 Hwy 110, Mendota Corporate Center Mr. Trooien presented staff with plans for parking lot expansion in order to accommodate Brown College, which will move from their current location to the 2" a floor of the Mendota Corporate Center (MCC) next year. Staff reviewed the concept parking plan, and provided feedback on permitting requirements and stormwater concerns. The proposed plan shows parking area crossing a lot line, into property Mr. Trooien also owns immediately north of the MCC. Planner Grittman noted that City Code does allow for joint parking facilities and that this proposal meets code requirements. No planning application is necessary; the applicant will work with staff for necessary permits. Mike and Bill Heine, re. 1054 Sibley Memorial Hwy Mike Heine was recently cited for a code violation for storing three commercial vehicles at his residential property at Sibley Memorial Hwy and Mayfield Heights Rd. City Code allows one commercial vehicle between 3,000 and 9,000 gross vehicle weight (gvw) to be stored on site in the residential district. However, such a vehicle would need to be stored in a garage. Mr. Heine was hoping to find a way to allow at least one of the vehicles to be stored on-site, but the three vehicles (two mini -busses and a panel truck) all exceed 9,000 gvw. As such, none of the vehicles are allowed to be stored in a residential zone. Staff noted that while this condition has existed for some time now, the City enforces code issues on a complaint basis, and only recently received a complaint. No planning action is anticipated at this time.
