CALL TO ORDER Mayor Garlock called the meeting to order at 7:00 p.m. Councilors Duggan, Paper, Miller, and Petschel were also present. PLEDGE OF ALLEGIANCE Council, the audience, and staff recited the Pledge of Allegiance. AGENDA ADOPTION Mayor Garlock presented the agenda for adoption. Councilor Petschel moved adoption of the agenda. Councilor Miller seconded the motion. Ayes: 5 Nays: 0 PRESENTATIONS UPDATE ON FIRE STATION EXPANSION/REMODEL BY PAUL OBERHAUS, CPMI Mr. Paul Oberhaus provided an update on the fire station expansion and remodeling project. He explained that they made progress this month. The stormwater retention system is in place, they have installed the storm sewer going out to Dodd Road, and the site has been graded and Class 5 material is down. The base course for asphalt and curb has been put down. Unfortunately, they did not get the asphalt down and curb in because of the cold weather. With the Class 5 material in place, they can at least drive over it. They hope to get the asphalt down and curbs in early next spring. The crew will be starting the roofing. The masons are working. Heaters will be set up on the inside of the building to facilitate drying out the site. The in-floor heat and the slabs will be laid. Then the plumbers and electricians will come in. page 3 He commented that the delays caused by Xcel not getting the primary power relocated in a timely fashion, plus the wet weather, pushed the project further into the cold season. That resulted in the mason’s having to put the poly on the scaffolding and to have to use propane heaters to keep the place warm while they laid the brick. He is going to negotiate with the masonry contractor since some of the delay was caused by the block they delivered was incorrect. The cost of running the heaters on the interior of the building is something that they expected and the cost of that was in the budget. Councilor Paper asked what the current timeframe is now. Mr. Oberhaus replied that the timeframe shows completing the addition to the building in late March and then the remodeling work will begin.

Ayes: 5 Nays: 0 page 4 PULLED CONSENT AGENDA ITEMS G) ORDINANCE 548 AMEND CODE SECTION 3-5 CONCERNING RENTAL HOUSING Councilor Duggan noted that he was unsure what the impact would be for the city. He suggested this be discussed in a work session to figure out what it is the city wants to do. The biggest thing to him was that the city did not want to get into licensing because they were not sure what the impacts would be. Councilor Petschel reminded everyone that the city’s concerns go back to issues on Vicki Lane. The city tweaked the nuisance ordinance and passed the rental inspection ordinance knowing that they would not inspect the interiors; however, property owners had to register their rental properties and there would be a walk-around inspection of the exterior. The intent was not to have an interior inspection, it was an exterior inspection and identification of rental property. Councilor Petschel moved to table ORDINANCE 548 AMENDING CITY CODE TITLE 3, CHAPTER 5 CONCERNING RENTAL HOUSING to a Council work session meeting. Councilor Duggan seconded the motion. Ayes: 5 Nays: 0 H) APPROVE RESOLUTION 2019-88 PROVIDING FOR THE SECOND SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE OF TRUST RELATED TO MULTIFAMILY HOUSING REVENUE BONDS (LEXINGTON HEIGHTS APARTMENTS PROJECT), SERIES 2013 AND AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION OF DOCUMENTS RELATED THERETO Councilor Duggan recalled something similar to this on a past agenda. He questioned the cost, if any, to the city, and questioned the staff time and legal time involved. Councilor Petschel stated that her understanding was that the financing of the Lexington Heights Apartments was accomplished through bonding for which the city was the conduit. With any change to those bonds, the city would have to be notified and there would be no cost to the city. City Administrator Mark McNeill replied that the city charges a $1,500 application fee. Ms. Catherine Courtney with Briggs & Morgan, the bond counsel firm, explained that in 2013, there was a refunding and a refinancing which the City Council approved. Last year, they asked for amendments, which were technical in nature related to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. This year, the borrower and Wells Fargo are asking again for some technical amendments that will have a minor effect on the interest rate. Because it is a conduit, they had to ask for the Council’s approval, and there is no obligation to the city. Councilor Duggan moved to adopt RESOLUTION 2019-88 PROVIDING FOR THE SECOND SUPPLEMENTAL INDENTURE OF TRUST RELATED TO MULTIFAMILY HOUSING REVENUE REFUNDING BONDS (LEXINGTON HEIGHTS APARTMENTS PROJECT), SERIES 2013 AND AUTHORIZING THE EXECUTION OF DOCUMENTS RELATED THERETO. Councilor Miller seconded the motion. Ayes: 5 Nays: 0 page 5 O) ACCEPT FIREFIGHTER RETIREMENT Councilor Miller acknowledged Mr. John Mendez for his service to the City. He stated that John was a very welcoming member of the fire community. Councilor Petschel moved to accept, with regret, the retirement of John Mendez as a Firefighter. Councilor Miller seconded the motion. Ayes: 5 Nays: 0 PUBLIC COMMENTS There were no public comments. PUBLIC HEARING No public hearings were scheduled. NEW AND UNFINISHED BUSINESS A) RESOLUTION 2019-92 STORM SEWER RATE ADJUSTMENT Public Works Director Ryan Ruzek explained that during the spring audit, it was identified that utility funds should have a larger balance. The goal is to have this fund, and the sanitary sewer fund, be self- funding. The city uses the storm sewer utility fund for maintenance of the stormwater system, pond dredging, pond inlets/outlets, catch basins, and recently the stormwater extensions. There will be some stream bank stabilization projects in the future. He explained that the current quarterly rate for storm sewer is $12 per quarter for a residential property. Staff is proposing a $3 increase to the storm water utility fee for a single-family residential home. The businesses and industrial fees will remain the same. The golf courses and cemeteries are proposed to increase from $12/acre to $15/acre and institutional from $42/acre to $45/acre. These proposed adjustments would increase payments to this account by approximately $50,000/year. Councilor Duggan asked for the definition of institutions. Mr. Ruzek replied that institutions would include the school district and churches. Councilor Duggan then commented that this would be an approximate 7% increase. Whereas residential is a 25% increase. He asked if the increase is comparable to previous increases. Mr. Ruzek replied that there have been several increases to the storm water utility fund. page 6 Councilor Duggan asked if there have been any expenses in the last couple of years that staff did not anticipate. Mr. Ruzek replied that, in general, costs for construction have increased. The city is currently doing some storm sewer extensions in locations around the city. That project had been estimated to be approximately $180,000; however, the low bid came in at $225,000. Staff is seeing a major uptick in construction costs. Councilor Duggan moved to adopt RESOLUTION 2019 - 92 AUTHORIZING STORM WATER UTILITY RATES BEGINNING IN THE FIRST QUARTER OF 2020. Mayor Garlock seconded the motion. Ayes: 5 Nays: 0 B) RESOLUTION 2019-91 SANITARY SEWER RATE ADJUSTMENT Public Works Director Ryan Ruzek explained that, like the storm sewer utility rate, the city looks to have a self-funding sanitary sewer utility fund. The fund is currently low. A number of preventative maintenance projects have been completed, including sewer lining and televising and cleaning. It is being proposed to do a replacement of a portion of the city’s sewer interceptor, north of Ridge Place. The city is currently charging $78.45 per quarter for a single-family residential home, which includes 20 units of water. A unit of water is equal to 748 gallons. For any units over 20, the city charges an additional fee of $2.80 per unit. Commercial rates are charged based on their water meter size entering the building. Staff is proposing to hold those charges flat. The city received a nominal 1.77% increase through the Metropolitan Council (Met Council) Environmental Services, who handles the city’s sanitary sewage treatment. Staff is proposing to increase the rate by approximately 5% to basically help build a balance in the fund. It is proposed to increase the residential rate to $83.75 per quarter. The per unit rate for over the 20-unit limit is proposed to be increased to $3.50 per unit. Councilor Miller asked what contributed to the increase in water flow. Mr. Ruzek replied that he would expect that it is due to the water table being high. In addition, the city has some sanitary sewers that run adjacent to creeks, and with them flowing full, there could be water making it into some manholes. Councilor Duggan clarified that the charge will go to $3.50 for units over the 20-unit limit. Mr. Ruzek confirmed. Councilor Duggan asked how that compares to what other communities charge. Mr. Ruzek replied that Mendota Heights was substantially lower. Councilor Duggan then asked if there had been many complaints from residents when the rates were increased in the past. Mr. Ruzek replied that most complaints come from single-occupant homeowners. The last increase was in February 2018. page 7 Councilor Petschel noted that it was important for the residents to understand that part of this bill is being imposed upon the city by the Met Council. The city has no control over that. Discussions continued around the possibility of creating a two-tier billing system based on usage rather than a flat rate that includes 20 units of water. Mayor Garlock moved to adopt RESOLUTION 2019-91 AUTHORIZING SANITARY SEWER USAGE RATES BEGINNING IN THE FIRST QUARTER OF 2020. Councilor Miller seconded the motion. Ayes: 5 Nays: 0 COMMUNITY ANNOUNCEMENTS City Administrator Mark McNeill announced that the following recreational activities are open for registration on the city’s website: Winter Break Field Trips; Flag Football Camp; Orbit Earth Expo; Gymnastics. He stated the city is still looking for an ice skate instructor and warming house attendants. Mr. McNeill asked the Councilors if they would be available at 6:30 p.m. on December 3rd, just before the next regular Council meeting, to hold a Closed Session meeting regarding the city’s labor process. The Councilors were in agreement. He also suggested a work session to discuss rental housing sometime the first week of January 2020. COUNCIL COMMENTS Councilor Duggan wished everyone a very happy and healthy Thanksgiving. Councilor Paper wished good luck to the St. Thomas Academy Cadets at the State Tournament. He wished everyone Happy Thanksgiving. He reminded residents that November is Movember, bringing awareness to men’s health. Councilor Miller reminded everyone to be aware that the ice is not safe to walk on at this time of year. He asked residents for diligence when shoveling snow away from the fire hydrants. Mayor Garlock reminded everyone that the winter parking ban is now in place. Councilor Petschel recognized Visitation School for winning their 7th straight swimming and diving state championship. She requested that the city send a letter on behalf of the council congratulating them on their achievement. page 8 ADJOURN Councilor Paper moved to adjourn. Councilor Petschel seconded the motion. Ayes: 5 Nays: 0 Mayor Garlock adjourned the meeting at 7:47 p.m. ____________________________________ Neil Garlock Mayor ATTEST: _______________________________ Lorri Smith City Clerk page 9 CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS DAKOTA COUNTY STATE OF MINNESOTA Minutes of the City Council Work Session Held November 19, 2019 Pursuant to due call and notice thereof, a work session of the Mendota Heights City Council was held at the City Hall, 1101 Victoria Curve, Mendota Heights, Minnesota. CALL TO ORDER Mayor Garlock called the meeting to order at 5:00 pm. Councilmembers Miller, Paper and Petschel were present. Councilor Duggan arrived at 5:07 p.m. City staff present included Mark McNeil, City Administrator; Cheryl Jacobson, Assistant City Administrator; Meredith Lawrence, Recreation Program Coordinator; Ryan Ruzek, Public Works Director; Kelly McCarthy, Police Chief; Kristen Schabacker, Finance Director; Tim Benetti, Community Development Director; and Lorri Smith, City Clerk. PARK AND RECREATION ADMINISTRATIVE POLICIES FIELD AND FACILITY USE FEES; SPECIAL EVENTS Cheryl Jacobson reviewed the current Field and Facility Use Policy. She presented statistical data relating to the population breakdown in Mendota Heights. She stated that the Field and Facility Use Policy formalizes the permitting process, establishes consistent guidelines, outlines the process for allocating fields and facilities, and establishes user group categories. She stated there continues to be high demand for the fields and facilities by multiple user groups. The spaces are limited and there is competition for the preferred fields. Blanket permitting has continued, leaving very little time for the public to use the fields and facilities. Ms. Jacobson reviewed the current use fees in place. Councilor Petschel noted that the use fees that were approved were recommended by the user groups. They recommended a ‘per participant’ fee and not a ‘per hour of use’ fee because it would be easiest for them. Options and recommendations for 2020 include leaving the current policy in place, but also: - to issue permits three times per year to work with the sports seasons - to include a statement to be signed by the user groups to reflect that all coaches have the proper certifications for training and background screening has been completed - to require the name of the team when assigning specific fields to discourage blanket permitting and allow for more public use time - to allow for a refund of special event fees for weather related cancellations by a user, if the city is notified within two business days Councilor Miller asked if the policy is similar to other area cities. Ms. Lawrence replied that the language is similar, although our fees are lower. Councilor Paper questioned why games cannot start after 6:30 p.m. and he recommended that be changed to 7:30 p.m. page 10 Councilor Paper recommended that the field and facility use fees and concessions stand fees for in house tournaments be eliminated, which mostly involves the younger players during the Parks Celebration. Fees for invitational tournaments would still be collected. Comments from the public included: Scott Karlen, representing MHAA Youth Baseball – suggested the Council stay with the current fees. Lisa Wolf, representing SALVO – suggested the rates remain the same for 2020. Paul Berg, representing MHAA – stated the fees take a toll on their budget and that their association serves a region and not only Mendota Heights’ residents. Kaan Cercioglu, representing MHAA Youth Football – stated their scholarship fund is a large part of their budget. Jackie VanDiver, Athletic Director for St. Joseph’s School – stated that the current policy does not allow their teams to have a dedicated home field, like they used to have. They have had problems finding a field to use and have witnessed fields not being used. Councilor Petschel reminded the user groups that the City’s fees are lower than other area cities, and that they are in place to cover the wear and tear on the facilities and to cover staff time. It is the cost of doing business. She asked the user groups if they would be receptive to the idea of the city allowing their users to apply for the city’s scholarship fund that is available. The groups in attendance welcomed that idea. The user groups complimented city staff on the condition of the fields that were available for their use in 2019. The Council discussed the possibility of not allow teams to blanket reserve the preferred fields. WARMING HOUSE STAFFING Ms. Jacobson stated that, to date, only four temporary staff have been hired to staff the warming houses at the ice rinks. Options were discussed for how best to staff the warming houses and run the ice rinks. It was noted that the warming houses could be opened and left unstaffed, or opened and staffed for shorter hours. The Council suggested that staff organize the ice rink schedules to include both of those options. BUDGET 2020 UPDATE Kristen Schabacker gave an update on the proposed 2020 budget which will be going to the Council on December 3rd for approval. She outlined changes being made which include: - Employee health insurance costs will be decreasing, so the City’s contribution can remain the same as 2019, which will result in a $103,000 savings - Property Casualty Insurance costs have increased. $20,000 will be added to the line item. - Refunding bond costs will increase by $11,000 These changes will result in a net $73,062 savings, which will lower the levy increase to 6.5%. page 11 POLICE OFFICER HEALTH and WELLNESS PROPOSAL Chief McCarthy briefly outlined a proposal for a policy change for Mendota Heights Police Officers to combat the stresses and health hazards that come with policing. If officers choose to participate, they will be responsible to complete steps to improve their physical and mental health, which will result in an additional half hour of paid time per day of work. The Council was receptive to this proposal. Chief McCarthy will bring forward a proposed policy change to a future Council meeting. ADJOURN The meeting was adjourned at 6:30 pm. ___________________________ Neil Garlock, Mayor ____________________________ Lorri Smith, City Clerk page 12 DATE: December 3, 2019 TO: Mayor, City Council, and City Administrator FROM: Lorri Smith, City Clerk SUBJECT: Renewal of Tobacco Licenses INTRODUCTION The Council is asked to approve the renewal of tobacco licenses for 2020. BACKGROUND The following is a list of the current tobacco licensees who have applied for renewal of their licenses. The licenses would be effective January 1 – December 31, 2020. 1) Mendota Heights Amoco, 2030 Dodd Road 2) Mendakota Country Club, 2075 Mendakota Drive 3) Mendota Liquor, 766 North Plaza Drive 4) Northern Tier Retail, LLC d/b/a Speedway #4516, 1200 Mendota Heights Road 5) Northern Tier Retail, LLC d/b/a Speedway #4521, 1080 Highway 62 6) Walgreens #11764, 790 North Plaza Drive The establishments listed above have each submitted a complete application packet and the $300 license/investigation fee. The Police Department has completed a background investigation on each of the applicants and found no issues or concerns. It should be noted that all of the licensees passed the compliance checks that occurred earlier this fall. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the City Council approve the tobacco license renewals for the establishments listed above for the period of January 1, 2020 through December 31, 2020. page 13 Request for City Council Action DATE: December 3, 2019 TO: Mayor, City Council, and City Administrator FROM: Tim Benetti, Community Development Director SUBJECT: Ordinance No. 550 Amend City Code Section 3-4 Concerning Building Contractors Introduction The City Council is asked to approve Ordinance No. 550 amending City Code Title 3, Chapter 4 concerning Building Contractors. Background The current City Code, Section 3-4, provides for the licensing of building contractors who desire to work in the city. Currently, staff verifies all required documentation (application and liability insurance) and issues the license at the counter without Council approval. There is no background verification completed. It is proposed to not license building contractors beginning in 2020. The fee is proposed to be removed from the fee schedule and the revenue from the permits was not included in the proposed budget for 2020. The State of Minnesota requires that residential builders, remodelers and roofers be licensed through the Department of Labor and Industry (DLI). The state has adopted contractor licensing requirements administered by the DLI to ensure that buildings are safe and healthy for those who occupy them, and that workers who construct them are qualified to perform said work. Anyone contracting to work on one-family or two-family dwellings and townhouses must be a licensed contractor. Additionally, electrical and plumbing work must be performed by state licensed contractors. Recommendation Staff recommends that Ordinance 550 be approved which would delete City Code Sec. 3-4 concerning the licensing of building contractors. Action Required If the Council concurs, it should by motion adopt Ordinance No. 550 Amending Mendota Heights City Code Title 3, Chapter 4 Concerning Building Contractors. page 14 CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS DAKOTA COUNTY, MINNESOTA ORDINANCE NO. 550 AMENDING MENDOTA HEIGHTS CITY CODE TITLE 3, CHAPTER 4 CONCERNING BUILDING CONTRACTORS The City Council of the City of Mendota Heights, Minnesota, desires to not require building contractors to be licensed beginning in the year 2020. The City Council of the City of Mendota Heights hereby ordains: The City of Mendota Heights Code of Ordinances, Title 3, Chapter 4, relating to the Building Contractors is hereby deleted in its entirety. This Ordinance shall be in effect from and after the date of its passage and publication. Adopted and ordained into an Ordinance this third day of December, 2019. CITY COUNCIL CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS Neil Garlock, Mayor ATTEST ________________________________ Lorri Smith, City Clerk page 15 REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION DATE: December 3, 2019 TO: Mayor, City Council and City Administrator FROM: Wayne Wegner, Police Captain Cheryl Jacobson, Assistant City Administrator SUBJECT: Community Service Officer Resignation and Position Recruitment COMMENT: INTRODUCTION The Council is asked to accept the resignation of Community Service Officer Joshua Rosenberry and authorize staff to begin the Community Service Officer recruitment process. BACKGROUND Joshua Rosenberry has served as the City’s Community Service Officer since March. Josh has completed is peace officer training and has been hired as a police officer in another municipality. His last day with the City is December 3. With his departure, staff is seeking authorization to fill the vacant Community Service Officer position. It is anticipated that the initial posting period will run from December 5 to January 3, 2020. After the initial posting period, the hiring process takes approximately six to eight weeks to complete. An initial start date on or around March 1, is expected given the recruitment process. BUDGET IMPACT Funding for the position is provided for in the budget. The 2019 starting rate is $19.41 per hour, which is step 1 of pay grade 2 under the City’s pay plan. The starting rate will be adjusted based on the City’s 2020 pay plan. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends that the City Council accept the resignation of Joshua Roseberry from the position of Community Service Officer and authorize staff to begin the recruitment process to fill the Community Service Officer position. ACTION REQUIRED If the Council concurs, it should, by motion accept the resignation of Joshua Roseberry as Community Service Officer and authorize staff to begin the Community Service Officer recruitment process. page 16 Request for City Council Action MEETING DATE: December 3, 2019 TO: Mayor, City Council, and City Administrator FROM: Scott Goldenstein, Assistant Fire Chief SUBJECT: October 2019 Fire Synopsis COMMENT: Fire Calls In October, the Mendota Heights Fire Department was paged out a total of 36 times. Making up the 36 pages, 28 were for Mendota Heights, three were for Lilydale, one was for Sunfish Lake, and one was in Mendota. The remaining three calls were mutual aid requests by neighboring departments (two to Inver Grove Heights and one to South Metro Fire in South Saint Paul). The calls themselves broke down as follows: Actual Fires and/or smoke in a building: The Mendota Heights Fire Department was paged to a cooking fire that was contained to the appliance, a vehicle fire on Highway 55, and a brush/grass fire. Medical and/or rescue calls: The Mendota Heights Fire Department responded to six EMS/Rescue calls during the month. Public Service calls: In October, we responded to a call for powerlines down and a possible transformer sparking, but upon arrival were unable to locate any problems. Hazardous situation calls: The fire department responded to eight hazmat categorized calls including: Three possible smell of gas with no problem found, four gas calls for natural gas lines with gas flowing, and we responded to one utility line being down. In October, we were cancelled before arriving for a total of eight calls. False alarms: Accounted for eight of our calls. Of those eight, one was a false alarm, three were due to system malfunctions, three were due to unintentional trips and one was categorized as other. Finally, as noted at the beginning, we were paged for mutual aid requests to a structure fire in South Saint Paul (of which we were cancelled while in route). We were also requested twice by Inver Grove Heights for mutual aid at structure fires. Due to our auto aid, we also were the recipient of auto aid assistance from South Metro for a false alarm at Sibley High School (during school hours both departments are paged out for calls to the high school.) page 17 Training for October October 9 18:30 Radio Communications This drill had two stations set up and they focused on firefighter teams being blindfolded and having to locate misc. pieces of fire equipment, identify what it is with gloved hands, and relay each piece over the radio back to their leader.

BACKGROUND In August, the City Council held three budget workshops to discuss the proposed 2020 budget. It considered priorities for expenditures, and then balanced those needs with revenues which would be available to fund that for the upcoming Fiscal Year which begins January 1st. The majority of the discretionary expenditures are supported by taxes levied on residential and commercial properties in the City. Highlights of expenditures proposed for FY 2020 are as follows: Personnel/Staffing: • Adds 3 months to fully fund a Public Works Maintenance Worker, who assists in the maintenance of the City’s parks, and improves services to active use areas. This full-time position was budgeted to begin April 1, 2019. • Continues an increase in the City’s contribution to the Mendota Heights Fire Relief Association for firefighter pensions of $500 per firefighter, for a total increase of $18,000 for FY 2020. This is the fifth and final year of an agreement with the Relief Association to increase the City’s contribution. • Provides for an increase for salaries for employees, with the final amount to be negotiated with the City’s four bargaining units. • Provides for an increase in the City’s Worker’s Comp premium for FY 2020 of $46,500. • Additional FT Office Assistant position, at a cost of $73,965. This position will help with Parks and Recreation registrations, and provide financial and general clerical assistance. Activities/Quality of Life • Continues $14,000 funding for July 4th Fireworks Display. • Increases by $1,000 funding for the outdoor summer concert series. page 49 • Incorporates Animal Control into the Police Department budget, rather than having it be a “stand alone” budget item. Other Items of Note for FY 2020: Expenditures: Fire Station Bonds—FY 2020 is the first full year of levy for the General Obligation Bonds which were issued for the fire station’s construction project. The FY 2019 budget included $519,932 as the first of fifteen years of estimated payments for the bonds which would be sold to finance the project. In FY 2020, that increased to $623,543, which will be the more typical annual amount for the remainder of the debt retirement. Employee Health Insurance—The preliminary budget discussion provided for the City’s share of a 13.5% increase in health insurance premiums. However, since the preliminary budget was set, a lesser cost health insurance option has been found, and will be utilized by most of the City’s employees. As such, there can be a net reduction of $111,083 with this change. The general fund will see a $103,966 decrease and the enterprise/city hall funds will see a decrease of $7,117. Property/Casualty Insurance Increase--In November 2019, the City’s general property/casualty insurance policy was renewed, with a premium increase of $45,000. This was $20,000 greater than what had been provided in the preliminary budget, and so an increase in the allocation for that line item is necessary. Bond Refunding—Taking advantage of lower interest rates, the City refunded two general obligation bonds this year. While it will save the City money in the long run, for the first year of the new bond payment schedule, there will be in increase in the levy in the amount of $10,904. Ice Arena Payment—The budget for FY 2020 eliminates the $83,000 payment that was provided in last year’s budget, as the final payment to the City of West St. Paul for renovations to the Ice Arena in that city is no longer needed. Revenues: Contractor Licensing: Because other agencies are in a better position to monitor contractor qualifications, it is recommended that the City no longer issue licenses for contractors who do business in the community. This will reduce revenues by $15,000. Dog Licenses: Because microchip technology installed by veterinarians is commonplace and is more effective than traditional metal licenses in reuniting pet owners with lost animals, it is recommended that the City no longer issue dog licenses. The will result in a net loss of $2,000 of revenue. Athletic Fields Maintenance: The FY 2019 Budget anticipated $30,000 from users of the City’s athletic fields. However, because of a change in the manner in which the charges are assigned to users, FY 2020 instead budgets $15,000. Reserve Levies: The two amounts for equipment and facility reserves which were included in the FY 2019 budget will not be levied in 2020. That totaled $53,000, The amount and will be replenished to the reserve accounts, anticipating the sale of the Village Lots in 2020. page 50 In most other years, the City has also levied for larger capital items. However, due to the current size of the balance in the City’s General Fund, last year the operating budget included one-time expenditures from the Fund balance. If approved, the following capital items will be paid for through the fund balance: • Space Needs Study at City Hall $ 15,000 • Pole Camera (Police) $ 5,000 • Chipper (Public Works) repair recommended $ 5,000 • Mack Truck (Streets) $ 186,682 • ¾ Ton Pickup Truck (Public Works) $ 24,200 • Asphalt Hot Box Trailer (Streets) $ 43,000 • Natural Resources Plan ½ of cost recommended $ 75,000 • Sprayer (Streets/Par 3) $ 62,329 • Native Plantings $ 10,000 • Skate Park Improvements $ 10,000 • Friendly Hills Backstop $ 30,875 • Greens Mower (Par 3) $ 47,000 If the above expenditures ($514,086) are approved, after factoring in unbudgeted capital items which were approved by the City Council in 2019, the fund balance would be at 82.9% of 2020 expenditures. Budget Increase: After making the reductions resulting from the net savings due to the health insurance changes, the total General Fund budget for 2020 is $9,518,571 which is 5.50% greater than last year’s budget. However, this is a reduction from the preliminary budget, which anticipated a budget increase of 6.43%. This is funded through property taxes and other revenues. The total city budget for all funds in 2020 is $16,586,748, which also includes such things as special revenue funds, enterprise funds, and debt service funds. Levy Impact: The levy for 2020 will increase by $613,575 from the 2019 levy. In total, this represents a 6.50% increase over last year, but is less than the 7.28% increase set in the preliminary budget. Tax Impact on Residential Properties: Overall, the values for residential properties in Mendota Heights increased an average of 7.39% between 2019 and 2020. The proposed 6.50% levy increase will increase the city portion of property taxes from $1,537.93 in 2019, to $1,604.85 in 2020 for a home that is valued at $408,407 in 2020. This represents a 4.35% increase in the city portion of property taxes.

2019 TO: Mayor and City Council, City Administrator FROM: Tim Benetti, Community Development Director SUBJECT: Ordinance No. 552 – Amending Title 12, Article G. by Adding a New Floor Area Ratio Standard for Personal Self-Storage Facility Uses in the Industrial District (Planning Case No. 2019-28) INTRODUCTION The City Council is asked to give consideration of a proposed ordinance amending the city’s current floor area ratio (FAR) standard for personal self-storage uses in the I-Industrial District. BACKGROUND At the August 27, 2019 Planning Commission meeting, Metro Storage, LLC requested approval of a conditional use permit (CUP) and variance to allow a new three-story, 117,810-sf., personal self-storage facility. The variance was needed to exceed the maximum floor area ratio (FAR) standard of 0.5 to 1.24. The commission initially made a motion to deny the variance (3-3-1 vote), which resulted in no recommendation. A follow-up motion was made by the Commission to table Planning Application No. 2019-20, with instructions to city staff to prepare and present a separate code amendment to the industrial district code to modify the FAR standard for industrial uses, thereby possibly eliminating the need of a variance for this case. At the following September 24, 2019 meeting, the Planning Commission unanimously recommended the City Council approve an amendment to City Code Title 12-1G-7: Site and Structure Requirements for the Industrial District, by removing the current 0.5 floor area ratio standard for all industrial uses in the I-Industrial District. At two follow-up meetings in October, the City Council reviewed the information and recommendation from the Commission; and later at the November 6, 2019 regular meeting, the Council made a motion to deny the code amendment on a 3-2 vote. Prior to this action, the council asked the developer (Metro Storage) “…if the applicant would return with an amended proposal if the ordinance amendment were denied.” The Applicant offered to work with city planning and legal staff to work on options and present those back to the city. Planning and legal staff later conducted a conference call with the Metro Storage group, and it was agreed that they would offer-up for separate consideration another zoning code amendment for only “Personal self-storage facility” use, and request a new standard: H. The floor area ratio for any facility shall not exceed 1.25. This new standard would only apply to self-storage uses in the Industrial Zone, and does not affect or impact other industrial uses or the current 0.5 FAR standard under such district. page 111 DISCUSSION The City can use its legislative authority when considering action on a zoning code amendment request and has broad discretion, provided said action is constitutional, rational, and in some way related to protecting the health, safety and general welfare of the public. RECOMMENDATION At the November 26, 2019 the Applicant presented their requested zoning code amendment to the Planning Commission under a public hearing process. Upon opening and closing the hearing (there were no comments from the public), the Planning Commission recommended unanimously (6-0 vote) to approve the requested amendment as presented under attached Draft Ordinance No. 552. (please note due to the shortened holiday work week, PC meeting minutes were not available for this report, but will be provided later to the Council). ACTION REQUIRED City Council may either affirm or overturn this recommendation, and make a motion to either adopt the proposed Ordinance No. 552 as presented, or make a motion to deny the ordinance; or table the item to a future meeting date. Either action requires a simple-majority vote of the council. page 112 CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS DAKOTA COUNTY, MINNESOTA ORDINANCE NO. 552 AN ORDINANCE AMENDING TITLE 12, CHAPTER 1, ARTICLE G.

CITY COUNCIL CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS Neil Garlock, Mayor ATTEST Lorri Smith, City Clerk Drafted by: City of Mendota Heights 1101 Victoria Curve Mendota Heights, MN 55118 page 114 DATE: December 3, 2019 TO: Mayor and City Council FROM: Mark McNeill, City Administrator SUBJECT: Establishment of Historic Pilot Knob Task Force Comment: Introduction The City Council is asked to authorize the establishment of a Task Force whose mission would be to pursue short and long term goals for the preservation of, and improvements to Historic Pilot Knob. Background: The City of Mendota Heights has a resource within its city limits which is of regional significance, in the form of the 112 acre Historic Pilot Knob area. As has often happened in locations, over the years it has lost some of its historic features to development and lack of understanding of its historic background. However, in more recent years, a greater emphasis on its preservation and restoration has come about through the efforts of a number of public and private agencies. Those agencies include the Pilot Knob Preservation Association; Great River Greening, the National Park Service through its National Register of Historic Places, the Mendota Mdewankanton Dakota Tribal Community, the State of Minnesota, Dakota County, the City of Mendota Heights, and numerous individuals. As beneficial as have been these groups, there is no single group which has coordinated and overseen the preservation and development of the site for appreciation by current and future generations. Earlier this fall, a “study group” of individuals was authorized by the City Council. They gathered to discuss the establishment of a more permanent board which would oversee those preservation and development efforts. The individuals who served on this study group were resident and member of the Pilot Knob Preservation Association Gail Lewellan; City Councilors Liz Petschel and Ultan Duggan; Public Works Director Ryan Ruzek; and City Administrator Mark McNeill. Working from a draft which had been prepared by Ms. Lewellan, the group made the following recommendations for a board to deal with HPK issues: 1. Goals and Objectives of a Pilot Knob Advisory Group: • Capital Improvement Priorities: Identify priority projects from the Great River Greening 2018 Landscape Plan and for potential land acquisition, and recommend approaches to funding. page 115 • Natural Resources Management: Identify priorities for a multi-year plan for natural resources management. • Programs: Coordinate with Mendota Heights and St. Paul Public Schools, Minnesota Humanities Center, Native American community representatives and others to identify needs and opportunities regarding educational visits and educational resources. • Establish Short and Long Term strategies: For the preservation of, additions to, and improvements for the entire 112 acre Historic Pilot Knob area. 2. The Goals are measurable and defined, and therefore should have end dates established. For these reasons, the format of the advisory group would be that of a “task force”, rather than an ongoing City commission. 3. The study group will make recommendations to the Council as to the Task Force representatives. Staffing While much of the discussion and recommendations would come from the seven person task force, follow-up and research would have to come from City staff. It is likely that items relating to ecological issues on HPK could be handled by the Natural Resources Technician, but the overall staffing responsibilities would fall to the Public Works Director. The City Administrator would assist. Budget Impact: In recent years, the City of Mendota Heights has allocated $10,000 annually for expenses relating to HPK. However, these dollars have been tied to maintenance items, rather than improvements. For larger capital investments, grant monies will be needed from available resources, both public and private. One case in point is the private parcel which is adjacent to the publically-owned portion of HPK, and will soon be available for sale. A discussion as to options to fund its purchase should be held soon, before it is purchased, and the opportunity to complete the acquisition of the entire HPK parcel is lost for another generation. Recommendation: We recommend that the City Council authorize the establishment of the Historic Pilot Knob Task Force. The Council should further authorize members of the study group to approach qualified individuals in each of the membership areas for possible candidates for appointment by the Council to the Task Force. Action Required: If the Council concurs, it should authorize the establishment of a Task Force for Historic Pilot Knob, and authorize the study group to identify and approach candidates for appointment by the Council to said Task Force.

PROJECT BACKGROUND DRAFT page 122 PROJECT BACKGROUND| 1OHEYAWAHE/PILOT KNOB: HISTORIC LANDSCAPE PLAN PROJECT BACKGROUND DRAFT page 123 2 | PROJECT BACKGROUND OHEYAWAHE/PILOT KNOB: HISTORIC LANDSCAPE PLAN The Historic Oheyawahe/Pilot Knob site is a culturally and historically significant location on and above the river bluffs of Mendota Heights, MN. Overlooking the Minnesota and Mississippi Rivers, its vantage point high above the ancient valley is the reason it has sustained importance for centuries, both to the Native American community, and to the history of the United States. The Dakota-given name for the site “Oheyawahe” or the “hill much visited”, is a sacred site, known as a burial place for tribal communities and site for important ceremonies. Additionally, the site’s proximity to the Bdote area, the birthplace of the Dakota people, carries with it a significance that is singular. The Treaty of 1851 was signed on the hill, an act in which the Dakota ceded 35 million acres of land to the United States. The name “Pilot Knob” was given to the hill and its unique landform due to its use as a navigational reference for steam boat captains in the 1800’s, though the top twenty feet of the hill were removed in the 1920’s. A marker plaque on a boulder commemorating the historic treaty sits at the approximate location of the high point of the former Knob, directly adjacent to the Oheyawahe/ Pilot Knob site on Acacia Park Cemetery land. Over the last decade, Great River Greening, in partnership with the land-owner City of Mendota Heights and Dakota County, has worked to restore twenty-five acres of the site to an oak savanna, which was the pre-European settlement plant community. Minimal development at the site has been made in recent years to accommodate parking, a gravel trail, and modest interpretive signs, which provide access to the public and facilitate the visitor’s experience of the grand vistas and appreciation of its historical significance. Through additional relationships with the Pilot Knob Preservation Association (PKPA), the Mendota Mdewahkanton Tribal Community (MMDTC), and other Dakota bands and community members, the Oheyawahe/Pilot Knob site was saved from impending development, leading the way to its eventual listing on the National Register of Historic Places, on March 14, 2017. PROJECT IMPETUS This document is intented to facilitate the next phase of preservation planning, dealing primarily with visitor services and access. The current condition of the facilities and interpretive features at Oheyawahe/Pilot Knob warrants a long-term plan that will allow accomodate better access for the existing and future visitors to the site, while also promoting the ecological restoration goals and preserving the historically significant features that are present. Great care is taken to ensure that the perspectives of local and regional Native American communities are included in the development process for this nationally significant place. NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES The listing on the National Register of historic places was an important milestone in the preservation activity at Oheyawahe/Pilot Knob, and has provided acknowledgment of the site’s National historical significance. Currently, there is no physical notice of this new status anyplace at Oheyawahe/Pilot Knob.

REGIONAL TRAILS The site is located directly adjacent to the Dakota County Big Rivers Regional Trail (a segment of the Minnesota River Greenway). The trail connection is part of the recently completed MN River Trail Interpretation Plan completed in conjunction with Dakota County, and is addressed in this project. HISTORIC FORT SNELLING Locally, the Historic Fort Snelling center is currently enhancing their interpretation program to incorporate more regional interpretation, including Oheyawahe/Pilot Knob and the Bdote area. PROJECT APPROACH This Historic Landscape Plan aims to provide Great River Greening and the City of Mendota Heights with a plan for the site’s next phase of preservation planning, including improvements to visitor facilities and access, interpretation, and signage. The project first examines the impetus for this next phase of planning as it relates to contextually to projects and happenings that are bringing more visibility to the site. Secondly, through an examination of the site’s historical uses to the present, the project lays out a timeline of past development, and identifies the site’s current uses. Thirdly, the project graphically illustrates the current condition of the site, and outlines a synthesis of analysis describing the issues and opportunities identified. Next, the project presents a preferred concept plan graphic with recommendations for future specific site features, followed by an outline of possible interpretation plan approaches and themes. Finally, a section on Future Planning lays out proposed project phasing and accompanying costing, guidance on the government process that is required for building projects on federally recognized properties, and suggestions for working with indigenous communities as the project moves forward. The Appendix follows with concept alternatives, relevant documents, and acknowledgments to community members who contributed to the project. PUBLIC INPUT/PROCESS It should be stated from the start the development of the Historical Landscape Plan and any planning moving forward must include input from members of Native American tribal communities, in particular the Dakota nation. The process of soliciting input from ndigenous communities for this project included reaching out by phone and email to individual community member contacts provided by the steering committee and others, receiving input from the PKPA group, and a pop-up engagement event at the Mendota Mdewahkanton Tribal Community Annual Pow-wow Wacipi. DRAFT page 126 PROJECT BACKGROUND| 5OHEYAWAHE/PILOT KNOB: HISTORIC LANDSCAPE PLAN £)akota presence in tine K iver Valiet) The Minnesota and Mississippi river valleys have been home to the Dakota for hundreds of years, and the existence of our ancestors was sustained by their relationship with the earth and their surroundings. For generations, Dakota families fished from the rivers, gathered rice from area lakes, and hunted game on the prairies and in river valley woodlands. Along the riverbanks, leaders of the Eastern Dakota, including SAKPE, CASKE, MAZOMANI, WAMBDITANKA, HUYAPA, TACANKU WASTE, and TAOYATEDUTA, established villages. From these home sites, the Eastern Dakota traveled for hunting, gathering, and meeting with other bands of Dakota. Our ancestors lived in harmony with the world around them, and Dakota culture flourished. The "Dakota Presence in the River Valley" mapping and database project demonstrates the strong presence of the Dakota and other native groups in the Minnesota and Mississippi river valleys. This is an ongoing project of the Shakopee Mdewakanton Dakota Community that will tap into various sources of information including elders, manuscript collections, archaeological data, survey notes, and map collections. The map and database are continuously updated to reflect the additional material we have uncovered, including differences in names, spellings, and site locations.

According to the nomination form, the “Applicable National Register Criteria” listed for the site noted the “property is associated with events that have made a significant contribution to the broad patterns of our history”, and that the “property has yielded, or is likely to yield, information important in prehistory or history”. (See Appendix for the full National Register of Historic Places Registration Form submitted for Oheyawahe/Pilot Knob.) In total, 112 acres of the existing city-owned site and its surroundings were included in the listing. See Figure 2 for the extents of the listing, including property ownership. Other details of note in the form list the areas of significance to be: past Native American use, a Treaty site, and contain Prehistoric Archaeology. The period of significance listed is: AD 1650-2016, as the site continues to be a Dakota ceremonial site. Four (historic) functions of the site were also listed on the form: a gathering site for Indigenous nations, a ceremonial site, a cemetery, and a natural feature. The historical information presented below is a brief summary of information included in the nomination form. HISTORICAL TO THE PRESENT PRE-1650 TO THE INTRODUCTION OF EUROPEAN SETTLEMENT While the Dakota are known to have been the primary inhabitants of the region, it is likely that other nations have occupied the region prior to migrating elsewhere. European sources mention the Dakota in the area as early as 1650, though they may have been there much earlier, establishing villages near Bdote Mni Sota, which refers to the mouth of the Minnesota River. The geographical location of the confluence became a strategic location for gatherings, ceremonials and burials. As settlers moved into the area, in the later 1700’s, they began to establish outposts for trading. 1800’S DEVELOPMENT OF FORT SNELLING In 1805, the famous Lieutenant Zebulon M. Pike expedition to the region lead to the negotiation with Dakota leaders for a tract of land that would in 1819 become developed into the military fort, Fort Snelling. The earliest white settlement in the Minnesota region occurred in the 1920’s at the Fort Snelling reservation at Coldwater, and at the trading post of Henry H. Sibley, what is now the village of Mendota. Oheyawahe/Pilot Knob was located within the original boundaries of the Fort Snelling Reservation and was an important part of the landscape of the fort. The earliest references to Oheyawahe/Pilot Knob by European settlers called the bluff “Pilot Hill”, likely referring to the unique landmark it served for explorers and steamboats. Contrastingly, Dakota people had identified the landmark long before Europeans arrived as a sacred part of their creation story, where important ceremonies were held, and a protected place where burials could occur. It was generally known among the early settlers that the site was a burial place, as scaffold burial structures were observed at the site. Several paintings by the artist Seth Eastman record burial scaffolds. One in particular titled “Indian Graves at the Mouth of the St. Peters” from 1847, DRAFT page 130 SITE BACKGROUND | 9OHEYAWAHE/PILOT KNOB: HISTORIC LANDSCAPE PLAN PRIVATELY OWNED PARCELS PRIVATELY OWNED PARCELS NATIONAL REGISTER OF HISTORIC PLACES BOUNDARY OF OHEYAWAHE / PILOT KNOB PROJECT SITE HISTORIC PILOT KNOB (CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS OWNED PROPERTY) TREATY OF MENDOTA PLAQUE FORMER “KNOB” AREA ACACIA PARK CEMETERY OFF-LEASH DOG AREA (CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS OWNED PROPERTY) ACACIA BLVDSIBLEY MEMORIAL HWYBIG RIVERS REGIONAL TRAILPILOT KNOB RDVALENCOUR CIRCLE MN HWY 5 5 MN HWY 62 HWY 13FIGURE 3: NATIONAL REGISTER HISTORIC DESIGNATION BOUNDARY MAP AND LAND OWNERSHIP DRAFT page 131 10 | SITE BACKGROUND OHEYAWAHE/PILOT KNOB: HISTORIC LANDSCAPE PLAN suggests the summit of Pilot Knob. Oheyawahe/Pilot Knob was the location for the second of two Dakota treaties in 1851, between the US government and the Mdewakanton and Wahpekute bands. The treaty effectively transferred the remaining Dakota lands in Minnesota Territory, including a portion of present-day South Dakota, as well as land in Iowa, from the Dakota to the United States - a total of approximately 35 million acres. The exact location of where the treaty was signed is not known, though a plaque marker dedicating the treaty in 1922 places the location at the summit of Oheyawahe/Pilot Knob. This was around the same time that the homes of fur traders Henry H. Sibley and Hypolite Dupois, both now part of the National Register Old Mendota Historic District - were preserved in the village of Mendota. The result of the treaty effectively removed nearly all Dakota people from Minnesota, which later lead to the US-Dakota Conflict of 1862, and resulted in an internment camp below Fort Snelling. The US government held hundreds of Dakota people at the camp, many who perished, prior to the removal of the surviving members to Dakota territory in the summer of 1863. 1900’S DEVELOPMENT OF OHEYAWAHE/PILOT KNOB In 1925, 35 acres of the hill were purchased with the intention of making it into a cemetery - what would later be known as Acacia Park Cemetery. At this point, the top 20 feet of the knob were removed to develop the cemetery design. The cemetery eventually acquired a total of 79 acres. The cemetery maintained property on the east side of Pilot Knob Road, including a couple homes, a maintenance shed, and several smaller structures. Homesteads and agricultural lands took up much of the rest of the hill during the 20th century. Other development from the 1970’s and 80’s on the lower bluff of the site included a gas station and motel, adjacent to the Mendota Bridge. Several private properties still occupy the site on the southeast edge of the nominated property. 2000’S DEVELOPMENT OF OHEYAWAHE/PILOT KNOB In 2003, the Preservation Alliance of Minnesota identified Oheyawahe/ Pilot Knob as “one of the 10 most endangered historic places in Minnesota”. That spurred the formation of the PKPA, to advocate for protection of Oheyawahe/Pilot Knob as a public cultural and historic resource. In 2004, a private developer nearly succeeded in building a housing development in the northern portion of the hill; however, urgings from local indigenous communities, residents, community leaders, and many others against the development lead the Mendota Heights City Council to reassess the site, and reconsider it as a public open space. The developers plans eventually failed. In 2006, the City was able to purchase approximately 8-acres of the site, secured through grants from a number of sources - known as Phase I. In 2008, Acacia Park cemetery sold an additional 17-acres to the city - known as Phase II. Together, these 25-acres comprise Historic Pilot Knob. In 2007, the City of Mendota Heights, in conjunction with Dakota County, hired Great River Greening to develop a natural resource management plan to restore the open space and develop the site for public access. Challenges DRAFT page 132 SITE BACKGROUND | 11OHEYAWAHE/PILOT KNOB: HISTORIC LANDSCAPE PLAN arose because restoration on a burial site limits the restoration process from seeding using a harrow - which disturbs the top six inches of the soil. Instead, native seedlings were planted by hand by volunteers from the community. Hand seeding was done in other areas of the site, as well as planting groves of oaks, and acorns - all through GRG’s large volunteer base. In 2015, additional restoration occurred through an easement along Highway 55, with the Minnesota Department of Transportation, to remove non-native plantings in the right-of-way, and replace them with native plant species. Several buildings were removed, and utility lines were buried to maintain a more historic character to the site. Controlling invasives has been a significant challenge, and GRG has utilized many strategies: buckthorn removal, prescribed burns and conservation grazing with a combination of horses, sheep, and goats. As of the the writing of the nomination form, 1652 volunteers have given over 5000 hours in support of Oheyawahe/Pilot Knob by working on restoration efforts. An 1850 map by R.

PILOT KNOB PRESERVATION ASSOCIATION (PKPA): In addition to PKPA’s successes in helping to preserve Oheyawahe/Pilot Knob from development, the non-profit group remains active in advocating for the site through programming and projects such as the Oheyawahe/ Pilot Knob Pocket Guide. The fold-out brochure was written with assistance from professional historians, and provides cultural, historical and ecological interpretive information about the site. The guides are available at the upper parking lot and lower trail connection to Big Rivers Regional Trail. INVERTEBRATE CONSERVATION: Over the past decade, Great River Greening has restored the central 25 acres of Pilot Knob/Oheyawahe to oak savanna and prairie, which reflects the native vegetation that existed before European settlement. This restoration retains the passive, sacred nature of the site. A survey,in partnership with the Xercses Society, was conducted to monitor native bee’s abundance, diversity, and foraging patterns – including searches for the endangered rusty patched bumble bee, yellow bumble bee, and other rare Minnesota species. This data is part of an ongoing monitoring project that will help Great River Greening evaluate the correlation between restoration practices and pollinator management. MINNESOTA HUMANITIES CENTER (MHC): The MHC offers programming like the tour Learning From Place: Bdote. The field trip is led by Dakota scholars and educators who share their stories of this land and its first people, bringing visitors to sites in St. Paul and Minneapolis that are of significance to Dakota people and learning about them from a Dakota perspective. Oheyawahe/Pilot Knob is one stop on the tour. HEALING MINNESOTA STORIES (HMS): HMS grew out of the Saint Paul Interfaith Network (SPIN), in an effort to address religion and racism. Through programming like the Sacred Sites Tour, they visit several locations within the Bdote area and share stories to bring awareness to the value of American Indian language, culture, and our DRAFT page 136 SITE BACKGROUND | 15OHEYAWAHE/PILOT KNOB: HISTORIC LANDSCAPE PLAN shared history. Oheyawahe/Pilot Knob is one stop on the tour. SAINT PAUL PUBLIC SCHOOLS (SPPS): SPPS, through their Center for Equity and Culture, have developed 5th grade curriculum that fulfills the Minnesota State Social Studies Standards for learning about pre-European North American cultures. Through partnerships with the MHC, SPPS trains non-indigenous educators around teaching Dakota content. To date, approximately five-hundred 5th graders have participated in Bdote tours, most of which include a stop at Oheyawahe/Pilot Knob.

Observations from these visits, plus documents provided by GRG, anecdotal evidence rovided by site users, and historic imagery were compiled to inform the Historic Landscape Plan. ACCESS AND CIRCULATION The only vehicular entrance is on Pilot Knob Road, accessed via Acacia Boulevard from the east and Pilot Knob Road from the south. Off-road trail access runs along Acacia Boulevard, as well as from Big Rivers Regional Trail, on the northwest end. Several driveways abut Pilot Knob Road from Acacia Park Cemetery on the west. There are three ways for pedestrians to enter the site trail system: at the parking lot, at the northern terminous of Pilot Knob Road, and at the Big Rivers Regional Trail connection. NATIVE PLANT COMMUNITY RESTORATION Great River Greening has completed extensive non-native invasive plant species removal and vegetative restoration to acheive native prairie and oak savanna plant communities. Through a phased management plan, GRG has made recommendations for continued restoration and management of the vegetation at Oheyawahe / Pilot Knob. FEATURES AND SIGNAGE The site currently has five interpretive features: two Medicine Wheels, the Seven Council Fires Overlook, and the Seven and Four Oaks Gathering Areas. Signage on the site is minimal - there are two exiting interpretive signs, and two areas to find a Pocket Guide for the site. The vistas experienced at the site are like no other, with views of the river valleys, Historic Fort Snelling, the Bdote area, the skyline of Minneapolis, among others.

The Key provided references descriptions of the significance of the feature and challenges and opportunities that the project team identified. KEY MAP DESCRIPTIONS Entrance Significance: Acacia Boulevard and Pilot Knob Road provide vehicular and bicycle access to the site; possible existing easement with Acacia for allee of trees along Acacia Boulevard. Issues: Shares the intersection with Acacia Cemetery entry, which has a monumental entry sequence, while Oheyawahe/Pilot Knob has no entry signage to indicate it is there, or that you’ve arrived. Opportunities: Add entry sign monument to make the Oheyawahe/Pilot Knob site more visible and create an entry experience and sense of arrival. Parking Lot Significance: Parking lot is very small, with some limited services/features: accommodates approximately 8 vehicles, a waste receptacle, portable toilet, small sign, wood rail fence, trail entrance. Issues: Lack of orientation of the site: inadequate signage for main parking area, unclear trail access or way-finding system, lack of designated bus drop- off/turnaround/parking, lack of bicycle parking. Opportunities: Improve sense of entry for pedestrians with signage/ interpretive area and clear trailhead; improve parking lot to accommodate desired number of vehicles; provide area for bus drop-off and pedestrian waiting/staging area, add bike parking and enhanced facilities. Pilot Knob Road + Utilities Significance: Paved road providing access to parking lot, and used by Acacia cemetery for site maintenance work; overhead powerlines follow road. Issues: The road past the parking lot is confusing, and the gated entry is unfriendly and distracts from the entry sequence; the overhead power does not fit the character of the site. Opportunities: Bury the power lines if possible, and remove road pavement to reduce amount of impervious surface; keep some pavement in place for a portion of an accessible trail. Gravel Road Extension Significance: Vestige of past agricultural development of site and former connection to Hwy 55; still used utility access drive; “short-cut” to the Seven Council Fires Overlook. Issues: Barrier to restoration and visual/experiential disruption of the site Opportunities: If necessary for utility access, convert surface to green, but drivable condition; or remove if not needed. Existing Trail Significance: The existing gravel trail guides visitors to several overlooks/ features on the site. Issues: Non-accessible in some areas due to slope and uneven surface; provides limited experience of the site and interpretive capacity; erosion issues. Currently the formal trail ends at the Seven Council Fires Overlook. Opportunities: Regrade/redesign trail to accommodate more users; off alternative loops to increase interpretive capacity. Bluff Slope Significance: Only access from trail connection to the upper site; adjacent to 1 2 3 4 5 6 DRAFT page 144 SITE ANALYSIS | 23OHEYAWAHE/PILOT KNOB: HISTORIC LANDSCAPE PLAN ACACIA BLVD ACACIA PARK CEMETERY CITY OF MENDOTA HEIGHTS OWNED PROPERTY BUS & OVERFLOW PARKING ALONG ROADPILOT KNOB RDHWY 13H W Y 110 E B H WY 110 WB SIBLEY MEMORIAL HIGHWAYBIG RIVERS REGIONAL TRAILHWY 5 5 VALENCOUR CIR1 2 3 4 6 7 7 8 11 12 13 14 14 15 16 17 9 10 5 LEGEND EXISTING TRAILS OFF-STREET TRAIL INTERPRETIVE FEATURE KEY VIEWS WETLAND 0’ N 200’400’ 1 6 11 2 7 12 3 8 13 4 9 14 16 5 10 15 17 18 Entry Area Parking Lot Pilot Knob Road + Utilities Gravel Road Extension Existing Trail Bluff Slope Existing Interpretive Panels Medicine Wheel Overlook - South Seven Oaks Gathering Area Four Oaks Gathering Area Medicine Wheel Overlook - North Seven Council Fires Overlook Big River Regional Trail Stop Privately Owned Parcels Acacia Park Cemetery - East-side Acacia Park Cemetery - North-side Off-Leash Dog Area MnDOT Right-of-Way Restoration KEY FEATURES ISSUES AND OPPORTUNITIES FIGURE 10: ISSUES AND OPPORTUNITES KEY MAP DRAFT page 145 24 | CONCEPT ALTERNATIVES OHEYAWAHE/PILOT KNOB: HISTORIC LANDSCAPE PLAN a small wetland feature. Issues: Extremely steep grades and unstable slopes create erosion and safety issues. Very slippery and unsafe when muddy or wet. Opportunities: Improve surface and route to create a safe foot path; correct erosion control issues along the trail and adjacent slope; connect path to Dakota County Big Rivers Trail at the bottom of slope. Existing Interpretive Sign Panels Significance: The only major interpretive signage on the site; includes bilingual Dakota-approved descriptions of the site, located at important panoramic view locations. Issues: Old, damaged and need replacement; height and design interferes with landscape views. Opportunities: Re-design and construction of sign panels so they do not rise above horizon and interfere with views. Medicine Wheel Overlook - South Significance: Used by groups who visit the site; Used by individual Dakota people and groups for ceremonies and prayer. Issues: Design of the feature requires maintenance, and needs repair/ replacement; original design by non-native individual; no interpretation. Opportunities: Re-design or new design by Dakota artist; provide seating and interpretive signage Seven Oaks Gathering Area Significance: Naturalized gathering are for larger groups; designed and installed as part of GRG management plan. Issues: Access to the area is limited - there is no trail; unclear if area is utilized by Native American groups. Opportunities: Incorporate the are in a loop trail, with or without additional access to the gathering are; include signage or interpretation, and managed plan for the interior space. Four Oaks Gathering Area Significance: Naturalized gathering area for smaller groups Issues: Access to the area is limited - there is no trail; unclear if area is utilized by Native American groups. Opportunities: Connect the are to a loop trail, with or without additional access to the gathering area; include signage or interpretation, and managed plan for the interior space. Medicine Wheel Overlook - North Significance: Overlook feature used by Dakota groups; suitable for gatherings, and has panoramic views. Issues: Not visited often because of distance and noise from highway; similar issues as South overlook. Opportunities: Provide planted buffer to mitigate noise or relocate/redesign feature elsewhere on site, by Dakota artist; provide seating and interpretive signage. Seven Council Fires Overlook Significance: Non-indigenous artist-designed feature overlook with 7 stones representing the 7 tribes of the Dakota nation; dramatic views of the landscape; visited by tour groups. Issues: Far distance for less able-bodied individuals; no signage; bonfires have been held outside of local ordinances. 7 10 11 12 8 9 DRAFT page 146 CONCEPT ALTERNATIVES | 25OHEYAWAHE/PILOT KNOB: HISTORIC LANDSCAPE PLAN Opportunities: Create signage for interpretation; manage vegetation/edge of the feature Big Rivers Regional Trail Connection Significance: Provides the potential for a future connection for regional trail users to the Oheyawahe / Pilot Knob. Issues: Lack of pull-off area or parking for trail users; inadequate wayfinding signage or acknowledgement of Oheyawahe / Pilot Knob; unsafe access across wet ditch. Opportunities: Design small pull-off area with bike parking, seating, signage, safer site access; more accessible lower trail loop Privately Owned Parcels Significance: Several privately owned parcels lie within the boundary of the area listed on the National Register. Issues: City would need to acquire properties from private owners; restoration of the parcels with native vegetation would be required. Opportunities: Future acquisition of properties could provide additional access via Valencour Circle, land for additional trials, and interpretation. Acacia Park Cemetery - East-side Significance: Green space adjacent to the main site entrance Issues: Cemetery landscape treatment contrasts with native prairie and savanna plant community. Opportunities: Partnership with Acacia Cemetery to blend the two landscape treatments to provide a more seamless transition between properties. Acacia Park Cemetery - North-side Significance: Large natural area adjacent to Oheyawahe / Pilot Knob. Issues: Lack of vegetation maintenance and non-complementary uses (brush pile); steep slopes. Opportunities: Permanent easement; natural resource management; soft surface tails; relocation of non-complementary uses Off-Leash Dog Area Significance: Large undeveloped area adjacent to the site; within the boundary of the area listed on the National Register. Issues: Access across the road from Oheyawahe / Pilot Knob. Opportunities: Expansion of the site to this area, with potential to create a future Dakota Cultural Interpretation Center (expressed by Native American community members). MnDOT Right-of-Way Restoration Significance: GRG has worked with MnDOT to replace non-native species planted in the ROW with species more complementary to the native plant community restoration. Issues: Additional areas of non-native species remain where the site is visible from the highway. Opportunities: Perform additional vegetative removal/replacement near the bluff area to the west in coordination with MnDOT. 13 17 18 14 15 16DRAFT page 147 26 | CONCEPT ALTERNATIVES OHEYAWAHE/PILOT KNOB: HISTORIC LANDSCAPE PLAN PREFERRED CONCEPT DRAFT page 148 PREFERRED CONCEPT | 27OHEYAWAHE/PILOT KNOB: HISTORIC LANDSCAPE PLAN PREFERRED CONCEPT DRAFT page 149 28 | PREFERRED CONCEPT OHEYAWAHE/PILOT KNOB: HISTORIC LANDSCAPE PLAN The Historic Landscape Preferred Concept plan was developed through a combination of the analysis presented above, and input from the project steering committee and the community. Two alternative concepts were initially developed and presented to the steering committee and other groups. Comments and feedback were gathered to inform a preferred concept, which is referred to as the Preferred Concept. Refer to the Appendix to see Alternative Concepts A and B. HISTORIC LANDSCAPE CONCEPT PLAN DESCRIPTION ENTRY A proposed monument entry sign is located at the northeast corner of the Pilot Knob Road and Acacia Boulevard intersection. Existing pine trees will remain in place, but non-native vegetation and brush will be cleared to open the area up to views of the site and create a more visible entry. BUS DROP-OFF A dedicated area for bus drop-off is located along Acacia Boulevard, where an off-road, accessible trail guides visitors through additional interpretative features and the Gateway Area. PARKING The proposed parking lot overlaps the existing lot, and expands north to accommodate 16 vehicular spaces. The existing road bed will be used to expand the lot north, while pervious paving options will be explored for the stalls to minimize the amount of impervious areas. The terminus of the drive will be curb-and-gutter, and provide an area for vehicles to back in and out. This will also be the entrypoint for any service vehicles. The current gate will be removed. In addition to pervious surfacing, the parking lot will be an example of sustainable stormwater design, by directing all runoff to to a new bio-swale and raingarden/pollinator feature. An area for bicycle parking, water fountain and portable restroom area is at the south end of the lot. GATEWAY AREA A wide sidewalk leads from the parking area to the Gateway Area. This area is proposed as a integrated trailhead and interpretive feature that could potentially provide some kind of shelter from the elements. This will be the primary hub for interpretive information about the site. Informal seating could also be incorporated to provide additional gathering space. BIG RIVERS REGIONAL TRAIL PULL-OUT In conjunction with Dakota County, the design for the trail pull-off will feature entry signage, an interpretive kiosk, bicycle parking, and benches, in a way that is consistent with the County’s goals and trail standards. TRAILS Bus Drop-off An accessible trail is proposed from the bus drop-off area to a staging area and interpretive feature for groups. The accessible trail then continues to the Gateway Area and restrooms. Accessible Trail Loop An accessible, paved loop trail is proposed off of the main entry from the parking lot, to provide users of all mobility levels with a more user-friendly experience of the site. Several areas for interpretive features are proposed along the loop trail, as well as areas for seating and enhanced native plantings. The northernmost point of the loop offers open views of the valley with additional seating and interpretive features. The former section of Pilot Knob Road roadbed north of the parking lot will be modified to create a winding trail that can also accommodate occasional service vehicle access. The existing roadbed that is removed to create this feature will be replaced with enhance native plantings and trees. Trail Spurs Three trail spurs have been developed that will guide visitors to two existing DRAFT page 150 PREFERRED CONCEPT | 29OHEYAWAHE/PILOT KNOB: HISTORIC LANDSCAPE PLAN features on the site - the Seven Oaks and the Four Oaks gathering areas, and one proposed location at the northeast end of the site where there is opportunity for an interpretive feature and viewing point. Materials options for a soft surface trail should be explored for these. Bluff Trail While alternative routes and trail accessibility were explored for the route traversing the bluff, it is clear that relocating the trail would create significant disturbance on the site; therefore, the Bluff Trail will remain in the same relative location. Surfacing options and grading to alleviate erosion should be explored in future planning phases, including boardwalks and timber steps. INTERPRETIVE FEATURES There are five proposed location for new interpretive features. Note also, the existing Medicine Wheels are either removed (South), or phased out (North), due to their condition and location. The intention is that future planning efforts would partner with Dakota and other indigenous artists and community members to develop appropriate features, or new Medicine Wheels, that would be more durable and easily maintained. At this high-level of planning, the concept or design for these have not been determined. Possible themes for the features are explored more in the Interpretation chapter. NATIVE PLANT COMMUNITY RESTORATION Restoration efforts are expected to continue under the Ecological Management Plan established by GRG. Battling invasive species and working towards balance of ecosystems is ongoing. In addition to the general maintenance of the site, an area of new native vegetation restoration is proposed in the northwest corner of the site - within the MnDOT right-of-way. The area is thick with vegetation, and if opened up, would provide additional views into the site for vehicles crossing the Mendota Bridge. Potential use of timber stairs for the future Bluff Trail.

DRAFT page 156 PREFERRED CONCEPT | 35OHEYAWAHE/PILOT KNOB: HISTORIC LANDSCAPE PLAN PREFERRED CONCEPT SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS FOR FUTURE IMPLEMENTATION After undergoing the planning and design process, meeting with stakeholders, and evaluating the environmental, cultural, educational, and accessibility needs of the project, the Oheyahwahe/Pilot Knob Historic Landscape planning team makes the following recommendations for future improvements at the property: - Strengthen the entry experience by enhancing the sense of arrival to the site, and increasing visibility of the parking lot and entry area; add substantial and visible entry monument sign. - Acknowledge the National Register of Historic Places status on signage at the entry. - If opportunities arise, consider adding current privately-owned property within the National Register boundary (on the east side of the site) to the publically-owned Oheyawahe/Pilot Knob Historic Site. - Bury overhead power lines and remove former Pilot Knob Road pavement as much as possible. - Expand the parking area to accomodate up to 16 cars; use permeable surface in the parking lot and incorporate bioinfiltration and native plantings to treat runoff. - Create a gathering area for students and visitors to stage before or after loading bus. - Make a trail connection to the bus parking area on Acacia Blvd. - Add an accessible asphalt trail loop that connects the parking lot to future interpretive nodes, view areas, and satellite restroom facilities. -Develop a trailhead kiosk area adjacent to the parking lot. Information should acknowledge Oheyawahe as a sacred site, and provide guidance on proper, respectful conduct. - Make a direct connection to Dakota County Big Rivers regional trail that minimizes physical impact to the slope, corrects and prevents erosion, and is aesthetically compatible with the landscape. Assume the Bluff Trail will not meet accessibility requirements and will require stairs. No biking will be allowed on the Bluff Trail. - Coordinate with Dakota County for future Big Rivers Trail pull-off at the bottom of the bluff slope. - Concentrate most future development or implementation activites near the parking lot, site entry, and/or in previously disturbed areas of the site. The native prairie / savanna landscape and panoramic views should be the dominant feature for visitors in most of the site. - Encourage and support the educational enrichment of visitors to Oheyawahe/Pilot Knob by developing an interpretive program and supporting interpretive signage. Signage should be minimal so as not to add visual clutter to the landscape. - Find opportunities to work with Dakota and other indigenous artists during development of interpretive features and gathering areas. - Use both Dakota and English language on all future signage, and coordinate with Dakota community to confirm correct usage and spelling. Consider use of QR code technology that links to more information, including audio recordings of the Dakota language. - Make stronger connections to the historic Church of St. Peter and Mendota village area via the Big Rivers Regional Trail with way-finding and directional signage. - Place point of interest or informational sign acknowledging Oheyawahe/ Pilot Knob along east-bound MN Hwy 55/62 on the Mendota Bridge.

The list is by no mean exhaustive, but is intended to be a starting point for future interpretive planning efforts. Furthermore, the themes presented are based upon the project team’s investigation through analysis, research, and conversations. Further input and vetting from the Dakota community is considered integral to the integrity of the themes and sub-themes. DAKOTA CULTURAL/HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE The historical record of the site acknowledges centuries of use by Dakota people that saw the area as a sacred place. »Bdote connection »Ceremonial site »Burial site »Treaty of 1851 PATH TO HISTORICAL DESIGNATION For many sacred indigenous sites, development is a constant threat that must be fought from many sides in order to gain acknowledgement and protection. »Settlement by non-indigenous community »Threat of development »Pilot Knob Preservation Society »Historic designation and significance CONTEMPORARY DAKOTA SIGNIFICANCE The sacred site has contemporary significance to indigenous cultures that want to bring awareness to the relevance and thriving nature of their communities, through the sharing of absent narratives and languages and their continued fight against the threat of development of other sacred sites. »Ceremonial uses »Dakota language »Cultural meaning »Current and future story of Oheyawahe / Pilot Knob GEOGRAPHICAL SIGNIFICANCE The unique landform of Pilot Knob and situation to the confluence of the Minnesota and Mississippi Rivers was created through major changes in Minnesota’s landscape, and greatly impacted exploration and settlement of the region. »Glaciation »Vistas »River navigation »Transportation ECOLOGICAL RESTORATION The site is a palimpsest - from its prairie beginnings, to the many disruptions the site encountered through development, to the return of a native habitat through restoration. »Restoration of the site »Significant plants, animals, insects »Pollinator habitat »Migratory bird flyway DRAFT page 160 INTERPRETATION | 39OHEYAWAHE/PILOT KNOB: HISTORIC LANDSCAPE PLAN FEATURES The Preferred Concept notes several opportunities for areas “for interpretive feature”. The intention for these spaces is to create opportunities for collaboration with Dakota and other indigenous artists to develop public art features that contribute to the cultural and historical narratives of Oheyawahe/Pilot Knob. APPROACH/METHODS Several approaches to deploying interpretation at the site were studied earlier in the process, including a loop-based narrative, and a site-based narrative. The loop-based narrative can provide a themed-based, deeper exploration experience for a visitor, while a site-based approach allows for multiple themes to overlap or to bring awareness to site-specific features. Both approaches can be useful, but it is especially important for the Oheyawahe/Pilot Knob site to have a balanced, minimalist approach, to avoid taking away from simply experiencing the site. FIGURE 13: LOOP-BASED NARRATIVE APPROACH FIGURE 14: SITE-BASED THEME APPROACH DRAFT page 161 40 | INTERPRETATION OHEYAWAHE/PILOT KNOB: HISTORIC LANDSCAPE PLAN SIGNAGE To tell Oheyawahe/Pilot Knob’s story in an effective way, yet be respectful of the site, the interpretive information available to the public should be primarily located at the Gateway Area of the site. Visually engaging panels covering the various themes shall be presented both in English and Dakota, with options for audio-based recordings. To provide additional interpretation along the trail, a small number of low and discreet signs with QR-codes can be placed in appropriate locations. This type of interpretive method is helpful for self-guided tours, and can augment traditional signage by connecting to a larger base of multimedia- based information. The two existing interpretive panels with be updated to be lower to the ground, and mounted using a different type of structure and material. The panels shall not reach higher than 42 inches tall, in order to maintain views of the landscape. The existing text on the panels has been through extensive vetting with the Dakota community, and shall remain essentially the same in content. Similarly, the remounted panels will be placed in virtually the same locations, as these were also vetted by the Dakota community, and the narratives correspond to the particular views.

Adequate time should be included in the design and construction scope to allow for permitting coordination, including for cultural resource and historic issues. Public engagment with the residents of Mendota Heights, Dakota County, and the members of affected Native American Tribal communities must also be included. WORKING WITHIN THE HISTORIC DESIGNATION Oheyawahe/Pilot Knob was nominated and placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2017. Any future final design work or implementation of the physical improvements in this document that receive federal funds or require a federal permit (e.g., Section 404 authorization from the US Army Corps of Engineers) would require a review under Section 106 of the National Historic Preservation Act of 1966, as amended. Applicable state rules, including the Minnesota Field Archaeology Act, Minnesota Historic Sites Act, and Minnesota Private Cemeteries Act, may govern whether, and how, any changes to the site are made. Additionally, the Minnesota environmental review program requires an Environmental Assessment Worksheet (EAW) for the destruction, in whole or part, or the moving of a property that is listed on the National Register of Historic Places or State Register of Historic Places (Minnesota Rules 4410.4300, Subp. 31). The federally recognized Dakota Communities in Minnesota, as well as the Mendota Dakota Community and Native American tribal communities in adjacent states and the midwest region should be informed and engaged as part of any future work on the site. A more detailed survey and analysis of Oheyawahe / Pilot Knob, such as the use of ground-penetrating radar, archaeological digs, or other investigations by professional historians and archeologists may be needed to verify that no disturbance is made to below-ground artifacts. Therefore we strongly recommend that all future planning, final design, and construction activity be closely coordinated with the State Historic Preservation Office, State Archaeologist, and Minnesota Indian Affairs Council. ENGAGEMENT WITH INDIGENOUS GROUPS This project has sought to engage with various Native American communities as part of the development of the Historic Landscape Plan.

For generations, Dakota families fished from the rivers, gathered rice from area lakes, and hunted game on the prairies and in river valley woodlands. Along the riverbanks, leaders of the Eastern Dakota, including SAKPE, CASKE, MAZOMANI, WAMBDITANKA, HUYAPA, TACANKU WASTE, and TAOYATEDUTA, established villages. From these home sites, the Eastern Dakota traveled for hunting, gathering, and meeting with other bands of Dakota. Our ancestors lived in harmony with the world around them, and Dakota culture flourished. The "Dakota Presence in the River Valley" mapping and database project demonstrates the strong presence of the Dakota and other native groups in the Minnesota and Mississippi river valleys. This is an ongoing project of the Shakopee Mdewakanton Dakota Community that will tap into various sources of information including elders, manuscript collections, archaeological data, survey notes, and map collections. The map and database are continuously updated to reflect the additional material we have uncovered, including differences in names, spellings, and site locations.

possible existing easement with Acacia for allee of trees along Acacia Boulevard Issues: Shares the entry experience with Acacia Cemetery, which has a monumental entry sequence, while the site has no entry signage to indicate it is there, or that you’ve arrived Opportunities: Improve and establish more visible signage to call attention to the site Parking Lot Significance: Serves as the main entrance and parking lot, with some services/features: gravel lot to accommodate 8 vehicles, waste receptacles, portable toilet, small sign, wood rail fence, trail entrance Issues: Lack of orientation of the site: inadequate signage for main parking area, unclear trail access or map system, inadequate facilities, lack of designated bus drop-off/ turnaround/parking, lack of bicycle parking Opportunities: Improve sense of entry with signage/interpretive area and clear trailhead; improve parking lot to accommodate desired number of vehicles; provide area for bus drop- off and staging area, add bike parking and enhanced facilities Pilot Knob Road + Utilities Significance: Paved surface providing access to parking lot, and used by Acacia cemetery for site maintenance work; route of overhead power Issues: The road past the parking lot is confusing, and the gated entry is unfriendly and distracts from the entry sequence; the overhead power does not fit the character of the site Opportunities: Bury the power if possible, and remove pavement to reduce amount of impervious surface; utilize pavement for a portion of an accessible trail Gravel Road Extension Significance: Vestige of past agricultural development of site and former connection to Hwy 55; still used utility access drive; “short-cut” to the Seven Fires Overlook Issues: Barrier to restoration and visual/experiential disruption of the site Opportunities: If necessary for utility access, convert surface to green, but drivable condition; or remove if not needed Existing Trail Significance: The existing gravel trail guides visitors to several overlooks/features on the site Issues: Non-ADA accessible; provides a limited experience of the site, and interpretive capacity; erosion issues Opportunities: Regrade/redesign trail to accommodate more users; off alternative loops to increase interpretive capacity 1 6 2 7 3 8 4 9 5 10 16 15 14 13 12 11 17 Bluff Slope Significance: Only access from trail connection to the upper site;

include signage or interpretation, and managed plan for the interior space Four Oaks Gathering Area Significance: Naturalized gathering are for smaller groups Issues: Access to the area is limited - there is no trail; unclear if area is utilized by native groups Opportunities: Incorporate the are in a loop trail, with or without additional access to the gathering are; include signage or interpretation, and managed plan for the interior space Medicine Wheel Overlook - North Significance: Overlook feature with Dakota significance used for gathering and views Issues: Less visited because of distance and noise from highway; similar issues as South overlook Opportunities: Provide planted buffer to mitigate noise or relocate/redesign feature elsewhere on site, by Dakota artist; provide seating and interpretive signage Seven Council Fires Overlook Significance: Artist-design feature overlook with 7 stones representing the 7 tribes of the Dakota nation; great views; visited by tour groups Issues: Far distance for less able-bodied individuals; no signage; bonfires have been held there outside of legal statues Opportunities: Create signage for interpretation; manage vegetation/edge of the feature Big River Regional Trail Connection Significance: Provides a connection for regional trail users to the site Issues: Lack of pull-off area or parking for site users; inadequate signage; unsafe access across wet ditch Opportunities: Design small pull-off area with bike parking, seating, signage, safer site access; more accessible lower trail loop Privately Owned Parcels Significance: Several privately owned parcels lie within the nationally registered boundary Issues: City would need to purchase properties; restoration of the area would need to be performed Opportunities: Potential opportunity for future site acquisition could provide additional access using Valencour Circle, additional trials, and interpretation Acacia Park Cemetery - East-side Significance: Adjacent green space to the site entrance Issues: Landscape treatment is in high contrast to native restoration Opportunities: Partnership with Acacia to blend the two landscape treatments to provide a more seamless transition between sites Acacia Park Cemetery - North-side Significance: Large natural area adjacent to the site Issues: Lack of vegetation maintenance and non-complementary uses (brush pile); steep slopes Opportunities: Permanent easement; natural resource management; soft surface tails; re-location of non-complementary uses Off-Leash Dog Area Significance: Large undeveloped area adjacent to the site;
