CALL MEETING TO ORDER - MAYOR JEAN HARRIS
Mayor Harris called the meeting to order at 5:15 p.m. Councilmember Thosfinnson was
absent.
APPROVAL OF AGENDA
The agenda was approved by consensus.
DISCUSSION ON TH 101 -Jim Grube & Gene Dietz
Dietz introduced Jim Grube, Transportation Director for Hennepin County. A report
summarizing the public meetings held in Chanhassen and Eden Prairie was distributed to
Councilmembers. The report includes the six concepts for improvements to TH 101 that
are being considered. A memorandum dated November 30, 1999, answers the questions
most commonly asked. A mailing to residents will include the November 30
memorandum. Also distributed were memos from the Chanhassen City Engineer to the
City Manager. The December 7 memo is minutes fiom a work session involving the
Chanhassen City Council, the City Engineer, the Carver County Public Works Director,
and the Hennepin County Transportation Director. The December 16 memo provides an
update regarding funding of the TH 101 project.
Jim Grube said the goal at this meeting is to gain City Council support to continue the
process necessary for the selection of the preferred Highway 101 improvement
alternative. If the Council supports consideration of Alternatives 1-4, it should proceed
with neighborhood meetings/open houses; if the Council supports consideration of fewer
I
CITY COUNCIL WORKSHOP MINUTES
December 21,1999
Page 2
or different alternatives, it should proceed with a joint meeting with the Chanhassen City
council.
Grube has met a number of times with Chanhassen and Carver County engineers. The
Carver County engineer wishes to have an improvement on Highway 101. The
Chanhassen City Council has approved construction of a trail along the west side of
Highway 101, and Chanhassen has included the trail in its Comprehensive Plan, which is
expected to be adopted soon. The Council is asking if both projects can be supported and
how to engage adjacent property owners in the discussion. If agreement cannot be
reached on the road improvement project, the Council wonders what that means in terms
of constructing a trail along the right-of-way.
The east side of Highway 101 is a County Stat2Aid Highway, and Hennepin Co&ty has
been maintaining the east side since it was turned back several years ago. The west side
remains a State Highway because an agreement to transfer to Carver County was not
reached. Carver County seeks Chanhassen’s approval of the preliminary concept of
Highway 101 before it accepts the turnback of the west side of the highway.
Chanhassen City Council wants guarantees as to when the road improvement project will
be done and that the money will be available from the State and counties. The project is
expected to cost between $9 million and $10 million for right-of-way and road
improvements. The money set aside to pay for turnback projects is under the control of
the State Legislature when its two-year budget is approved. The money set aside in 1999
did not specify the Highway 101 project as a recipient. In 2001 the Legislature could
specify the project in its 2002-2004 budget. Both Chanhassen and Eden Prairie need to
know what the local share of the cost will be, but won’t know until the State says how
much it will pay. Chanhassen wonders if it should go ahead with the trail concept
without knowing about the road project. As the Chanhassen City Council was discussing
these issues, councilmembers said they would like to present the four alternatives to the
Highway 101 neighborhoods for consideration. The four alternatives are:
(1) An overlay project on the road as it exists now, with a trail on the west side;
(2) A two-lane reconstructed road, with left- and right-turn lanes and improved sight
lines for people coming out of their driveways (entering sight distance), medians at
signalized intersections;
(3) A three-lane road with a continuous center left-turn lane, medians as above;
(4) A four-lane undivided road; medians as above.
It was pointed out that the differences in cost and impacts are almost identical for 2, 3,
and 4. Acquisition of two parcels of land and realigning of intersections would be needed
in all alternatives. The cost for alternative 2 is higher than 3 and 4, with less
improvement in the safety of the road. The benefits increase with options 3 and 4 while
the cost goes down.
Enger said the public wants to know up fiont why the road needs to be improved, because
of increased traffic volumes, safety of the road, etc. He asked if that was discussed at the
Chanhassen City Council meeting.
CITY COUNCIL WORKSHOP MINUTES
December 21,1999

Grube replied this matter is the essence of the dilemma. When Dietz and his staff make a
presentation to the public, they do an excellent job of providing infomation to the public
in terms of responsibility at the local level. There is disagreement among people living
along the corridor and what responsibility the county’s director of transportation has for
the road. People who live along county roads hope to keep the roads as neighborhood
streets and to discourage other people from using them. These people are reluctant to
look at their neighborhood road on a regional basis. There are many driveways coming
out to Highway 101. The accident rate is high along this corridor. The traffic level is
presently at 13,000 vehicles per day, and by the year 2020 it is projected to be 21,000
vehicles per day, so the accident rate will go up if improvements are not made.
Dietz pointed out the Chanhassen City Council has not had to face many issues that deal
with county and state roads. Grube said Chanhassen would like to see the traffic directed
to Dell Road and keep Highway 101 as a neighborhood road.
Regarding neighborhood meetings, Grube advised only inviting the people who live
along the highway, in order to build a level of understanding with them.
Grube said the Chanhassen City Council wishes to meet with the Eden Prairie City
Council after neighborhood meetings have been conducted. They wish to proceed to
discuss options 1 through 4 at their neighborhood meetings. The recommendation of the
Highway 101 Task Force on which Grube serves is to get approval of the options of two
lane, two lane with continuous turn lane and four lane undivided. Hennepin County
favors the option of a four-lane undivided road as the most cost-effective alternative.
Grube asked Council if it wishes to continue the process and which alternatives are
worthy of consideration.
Mayor Harris replied the Council has had several meetings on this roadway and she has
not sensed any change in its direction. The first choice has been for a four-lane divided
road with trails on both sides.
Dietz recommended that option 1 be dropped from consideration, but probably option 2
should be kept in for some more analysis and for comparison to options 3 and 4. If the
three-lane option is selected, it could be restriped to a four-lane system in the fbture. If
Council wants to pursue just alternatives 2, 3 and 4, it should be discussed with
Chanhassen. The Highway 101 Task Force eliminated alternative 6, a four-lane divided
road that weaves back and forth between the Eden Prairie and Chanhassen sides of the
road. Alternative 5 is a four-lane divided road centered on the right of way. The four-
lane divided is safer, so should always be considered.
Councilmembers indicated they are comfortable continuing with options that are
presently being considered. Mayor Harris asked Staff to track the process through
neighborhood meetings. Chanhassen City Council has requested a meeting with Eden
Prairie City Council after the neighborhood meetings. She thanked Jim Grube for his
presentation.

IV. DISCUSSION ON THE AMENDMENTS TO THE FEE RESOLUTION
Enger explained the reason for this item being on the agenda is because the City needed
to consider some fee changes that hadn't been changed for years and he wanted to go
over the changes prior to the Council meeting. The Staff decided to increase these fees
gradually.
Butcher asked if peddlers would include sales by youth. Clark said they are exempt in
most cases. Peddlers are not connected with any church groups.
Regarding the charge for city maps, new residents receive a free map. There is a charge
for additional maps.
DISCUSSION ON THE CODE AMENDMENT REGARDING LICENSING V.
Schmieg said Staff believes registering of contractors instead of licensing will
significantly simplifl the process involved now in licensing of contractors. General
contractors doing residential projects are required to have a State license that, with its
controls and bonding, provide a greater level of protection for homeowners than was
achieved through the City's licensing efforts. Staff will no longer collect insurance
information for the Minnesota Department of Commerce, which now licenses these
contractors. The City will still.be able to give owners of property information they would
need to bring a contractor to court. If a contractor failed to register with the City it would
be a misdemeanor.

VII. COUNCIL FORUM
A. HOCKEY ASSOCIATION REOUEST FOR A THIRD RINK - John
Schmelzle
John Schmelzle and Brad Hume, representing the Eden Prairie Hockey
Association, requested direction from the Council on how to proceed with
investigating the options available to obtain a third indoor skating rink. They
explained the difficulty in scheduling practices at the two indoor rinks, with some
5th and 6th grade children starting practice at 6 a.m. and some starting as late as
9:45 p.m.
Lambert said he has talked to the City Manager of Lakeville about the skating
arena operated by their Hockey Association. Lambert suggested Schmelzle and
Hume talk to the Lakeville School District, the city staff and the operators of the
rink to see how they have accomplished this. It takes a lot of volunteer time to
operate it, however. Hue said the Lakeville Hockey Association is paying for
the arena with revenue from pull-tabs.
CITY COUNCIL, WORKSHOP MINUTES
December 21,1999
Page 5
Enger asked if they had seen examples in Minnesota of a hockey facility paying
for itself. Schmelzle said based on the limited season it is difficult to break even,
especially if land acquisition cost is involved. If a facility is built it is difficult to
pay for maintenance. He understood the two indoor rinks in Eden Prairie operate
at a deficit. Eden Prairie has the third largest hockey association in the state.
White Bear Lake is the largest with four indoor rinks, then Edina with three rinks.
The Eden Prairie Hockey Association is buying 500-600 hours of ice time at other
arenas.
Butcher said she has heard there are fewer youth involved in hockey, and in the
school district there are fewer children than projected. Perhaps in a few years two
rinks would be sufficient. Schmelzle said he obtained enrollment projections
fiom the Eden Prairie School District. The total enrollment for the 1998-1999
school year was 10,175, and 10,400 is projected for the 1999-2000 school year.
Through 2004 the numbers continue to grow, then grow a little less each year,
according to the projections of the school district. They looked at projections
from the State of Minnesota in high school hockey players through 2002, which
showed a doubling of growth in girls’ programs and some growth in boys’
programs, but then leveling off, The other thing they looked at was the Hockey
Association’s’ projections. They showed the same projections of growth.
Enger explained that the City does not have resources to support City services
across the board the same as it has done in the past. It is looking at sustaining its
current level of service. Hume said they are not asking for money but how the
association and the City can work together to get another rink.
Case said he believed that, between the City and the School District, a half-acre
could be found. Schmelzle said to get a rink built will take a partnership between
the Hockey Association, the City and perhaps the School District, as well as some
private enterprise. Most of the newly constructed rinks have advertising on the
boards around the rink. If land is available at the Community Center site, the
most inexpensive way to add a third sheet of ice would be to share the space, the
parking, etc.
Tyra-Lukens said she would like to see a committee appointed to investigate the
feasibility and need, as well as options for funding, which would include
representatives fiom the Hockey Association, Figure Skating Club, City Council,
Parks Commission and a citizen at large. In addition, there should be a
representative fiom the School District. Tyra-Lukens also suggested
representatives fiom the Chamber of Commerce and the business comm~~&~.
Enger suggested looking for a design professional to serve on the committee.
Mayor Harris said she would also like to see citizen participation. The annual
City Survey will be conducted in February. There should be some information
fiom that in terms of what the City’s needs are.
Enger said this committee could be a model for other community needs that come
to the City’s attention.

Lambert inquired how members for this committee would be selected. Mayor
Harris said she would ask Staff to consider this and come back to the Council
with its recommendations as to how best to establish such a group and interact
with it.
She asked the Hockey Association representatives to come to a fbture meeting of
the Council with their recommendations also.

Butcher said she was struck by the commitment of resources by Eden Prairie citizens in
the preservation of historic buildings and donation of land to the City. Mayor Harris
expressed appreciation to Elaine Jacques, the Berg family and Brown family for these
donations.
Lambert made a correction to Item P. The actual amount of the application for a Metro
Greenways Grant should be $1,230,000, as this is the appraised cost of the land. The
City’s chance of obtaining a grant for 100 percent of the cost is not high.

CODE CHAPTER 5, RELATING TO LICENSING AND RESOLUTION
NO. 99-237 APPROVING SUMMARY ORDINANCE FOR PUBLICATION
Enger said licensing of general contractors, covered by the City currently, is also
covered by the State. Registering of contractors by the City instead of licensing

Re: Additional Fiber Letter of Understanding
Dear Mr. Uram:
This letter is in response to recent discussions between the City, KJMC, Convergent and
Logis concerning fiber optic requirements at the Water Treatment Plant and Maintenance
Garage.
KMC will provide an additional 12 strand fiber optic cable to the City of Eden Prairie for
a one time charge of $7,862. This will be routed fiom the point of termination within the
City Hall building to the hand hole where the junction occurs with our backbone and the
previously agreed upon 12 stand cables routed separately fiom the handhole to the Water
Treatment Plant and the Maintenance Garage. This will allow those locations to be
allocated a total of 12 strands back to City Hall. However, the City must choose the
configuration prior to cable splicing. This pricing includes all maintenance etc. as out
lined in the letter of understanding for the other laterals being supplied to the City.
This solution will provide the City the greatest degree of flexibility in delivering services
to both facilities.

Designation of Official City Newspaper Office of City Manager
Requested Action
Move to: Adopt Resolution designating the as the official City
newspaper for the year 2000.
Synopsis
This designation is required on an annual basis.
Staff recommends the Eden Prairie News be designated the official City Newspaper. The Eden Prairie
News has been the official City newspaper for 25 years; has done an excellent job in covering the local
news and in publishing the legal notices; and is considered a major source of information by residents.
Eden Prairie News has added the GovemmentMonitor to inform the readers on important City issues.
Background -
The Sun-Current is offering Eden Prairie a price that is 1/3 the price they charge other suburbs.
Eden Prairie News - $7.40 per column inch. Legals are emailed to Eden Prairie News for the lower rate.
Sun-Current - $5.28 per column width.
The Eden Prairie News has increased $.37 from last year and the Sun-Current increased by $.33.

Dear Ms. Porta,
Please consider our request for appointment of the Eden Prairie News as the official newspaper for
the City of Eden Prairie in 2000.
Legal notices published in the Eden Prairie News during this time period will be billed at the rate of
$9.25 per column inch for the first insertion and $6.90 per column inch per subsequent insertions.
The city can again take advantage of a lower rate if it submits legal notice copy on floppy disk in
ASCII text format. The same rate would apply if the document is e-mailed in text format. This
system worked well in 1999 and allows for a substantial labor savings if the Eden Prairire News
staff does not have to retype the notices prior to them being published in the newspaper. We would
also request that hard copy accompany the disk in the event we have any difficulties transferring
data files.
The rate for the materials submitted in this manner would be $7.40 per column inch, reflecting a & 20% cost savings to the City of Eden Prairie
Thank you for the opportunity to be of service to you in the past. We hope that relationship can be
continued in the coming year.

NO. 1 SOURCE FOR LOCAL NEWS
The Eden Prairie News is residents’ primary source of local news and
information, by a wide margin.
This is confirmed in the 1998 community survey conducted by the Eden Prairie
School District, a portion of which is reproduced below. The EP News’ score
was nearly four time it$ competitor’s.
The city’s own 1995 community survey demonstrated our significant lead in
readership: 67 percent of residents considered the Eden Prairie News as the
major source of information; 41 percent saw the Eden Prairie Sun-Current in the
same light.

CIRCULATION: ALWAYS LOOKING FOR READERS
The Eden Prairie News is a newspaper that is nearly I00 percent “requester.”
That is, nearly all of the more than 12,000 households and businesses receiving
the EP News have indicated in some fashion that they want the newspaper to
keep coming; they read the newspaper and have “requested” that it continue to
be sent to them.
That helps assure advertising and legal notices customers that their message is
being read. There are no newspapers turning yellow in a tube or on the ground,
or heading straight from the mailbox to the recycling bin, The EP News is read
and read well.
In addition to capturing new residents as they move into EP, we are also
reaching out to non-readers so that we can convert them to active readers. This
past year we mailed a letter to non-reader homes in the 55344, 55346 and 35347
ZIP Code areas to again ask if they would like to receive the EP News.
In 2000 we will undertake a similar campaign, this time making it even easier to
get back on the mailing list by offering non-readers a postage-paid card to
return.
WORKING TO STAY NO. 1
We are continually striving to improve the Eden Prairie News.
Among the innovations in 1999 was GovernmentMonitor, a sample of which is
enclosed.
GovernmentMonitor is a way for readers to track the progress of important
issues as they move through the Eden Prairie City Council’s review process.
Its counterpart for school issues is called EducationMonitor.

RELIABLE, CONSISTENT
The Eden Prairie News -- begun in 1974 by a group of neighbors like yourself
who were tired of Eden Prairie news coverage being limited to a page in another
community’s newspaper - recently marked its 2S* anniversary. Its current editor
has been here for all but five of those years.
In 1999 the EP News was judged by the Minnesota Newspaper Association to
be the state’s second best large weekly in the category of “general reporting.”
This isn’t the first state award the EP News has collected. Among the others:
Best Special Section (“Changing Eden Prairie”) - I998
Best Social Issues Feature Story - 1996
2nd place, Excellence in Investigative Reporting - 1993
Best Local News Story - 1992
Herman Roe Memorial Award for Editorial Excellence - 1988
INFORMATION FOR GOVERNMENTAL BODIES AND
INDIVIDUALS USING THE LEGAL NOTICES
SECTION OF THE EDEN PRAIRIE NEWS
Deadlines
Notices to be published must be received in the office of the Eden Prairie News by 4:OO p.m., on the
Thursday, preceding each publication date. This deadline must be observed to ensure accurate and timely
publication of important notices. We will not accept faxednotices as legal documents, as these copies are often
unreadable. All hard copy notices should be clean and typed.
Affidavits
One sworn &idavit of publication will be provided, upon request, without charge for each legal notice. Addi-
tional affidavits are available at $3.50 each. Additional clippings are available for $1 .OO each.
Late Fee
Urgent legal notices which do not arrive at the Eden Prairie News office before the specified deadline may be
accepted, at the publisher’s discretion, but will have a late fee or surcharge of 25 percent added for special
handling.
Publication Requirements
Most specifications for legal notice publication, including the number of times anotice is to run, are set forth by
statute. Interpretation of the statutes is the responsibility of the customer and its legal counsel, not the publisher.
Guidelines for governmental bodies, prepared by the Minnesota Newspaper Association, are available upon
request.
Kill Fee
Publication of schedulednotices may be stopped, depending on how far the printing process has advanced. If
alegal notice is killed before the initial publication date, the customer may still be liable for a special typesetting
fee, not to exceed 30 percent of the cost of the published notice. The customer must pay on a pro data basis,
for that part of a series of publications that have been completed before interruption by the customer.
Errors
Publisher assumes no responsibility for errors in typesetting or scheduling of legal notices. In all cases, publisher’s
liability shall be limited to a “make good” of a defective notice if it can be demonstrated that the error was made
by the publisher and that as a result of the error the legal notice was rendered invalid.
Rates
Effective January 1 , 1985, the Minnesota State Legislature authorized legal newspapers to charge for legal
notices in the same manner in which they charge their best commercial display classified customers. That
means that legal notices are billed by the column inch, not by the “legal line.” The law also restricts rate
increases exceeding 10 percent per annum.
