I. CALL MEETING TO ORDER
Acting Mayor Nancy Tyra-Lukens called the meeting to order at 6: 10 p.m.
11. APPROVAL OF AGENDA
111. MAYOR HARRIS MEMORIAL
1. Discussion of criteria
Acting Mayor Tyra-Lukens asked for a Council discussion on basic criteria by
which to evaluate suggestions for a memorial for Mayor Jean Harris.
Councilmembers discussed the following criteria: . cost
0
Timeliness. Do something now. Should be something “new” rather than
renaming and existing street or park
Highly Visible. Councilmember Mosman said that it should be something
centrally located and embody the ideal of diversity.
Fitting to the type of work Mayor Harris carried out in Eden Prairie.
City Manager Jullie said he remembers Mayor Harris as a generalist who was
able to successllly work collaboratively with all sectors of the community.
1
2. Review soggestions
Tyra-Lukens suggested that formation of a taskforce, especially since the scope of
the project may require a community-based effort. Case said the Council should
consider how this memorial is carried out might affect hture precedent for paying
tribute to others in the community.
Case said the naming the entranceway to the Purgatory Creek Recreation Area
after Harris and placing a plaque that recognizes Harris would be appropriate. A
scholarship in her name could also be mentioned on such a plaque. He agreed
that a taskforce may be the best way to approach this project. Butcher agreed that
the Purgatory Creek Recreation Area is the heart of the City and would be a
fitting place to memorialize Mayor Harris. Mosman said she also feels the
Purgatory Creek Recreation Area is the best location for a memorial. Butcher
thought it would be a good idea to ask Harris’s husband, Leslie Ellis, to be on any
committee formed to carry out a memorial plan. Tyra-Lukens asked for ideas of
other individuals or organizations that might serve on such a taskforce. Those
mentioned included:
A representative of the Chamber of Commerce
A member of Parks and Rec
A representative of the Eden Prairie Foundation
Representatives from Lions Club and Rotary
Mary Jane Wissner
A representative from Habitat for Technology
Jeanne Zetah
Jan Grossbach, President of Hennepin Technical College
3. Discussion of possible funding sources
Jullie said he had heard fkom one resident that there may be some corporate
interest in helping with a fundraising effort for the memorial. Jullie also
mentioned the “buy a brick” concept, which would allow individuals to buy a
brick inscribed with their name to be placed in the plaza. The City could then use
the profit from these sales to fund a project. Parks and Recreation Services
Director Lambert agreed that encouraging public inclusion through “buy a brick”
is a good idea, but he pointed out that funds from the sale of such bricks had
already been considered for use in finishing the plaza area.
Council directed staff present an item at the next Council meeting to form a
taskforce to will study and recommend an appropriate memorial to the memory of
Jean Harris.

Declare vehicles scheduled for replacement in 2002 per attachment to be surplus
property; and
Authorize staff to dispose of the vehicles at public auction. a
Synopsis
The budget for 2002 contains a list of vehicles proposed for replacement (attached). Although
the Council adopted the budget, proper procedure dictates that Council also declares that the
equipment is surplus property and that it can be disposed of at public auction. -.
Background Information
The vehicles scheduled for replacement will be disposed of at the Hemepin County Public
Auction on three dates throughout the calendar year. A statutory requirement provides that
Council take specific action to declare the equipment as surplus property and authorize
disposition. The auction is supported by the County and many municipalities and is very well
attended by the public. The result is that we sell the vehicles for the top range of the “blue book”
average retail value (occasionally above).
ITEM NO.:
I.IE .G-.
Most of the equipment that we purchase is through public bids secured by either the County or
State, fiom which we are able to participate. Therefore, there is no opportunity for “trade in” of
equipment and the Hennepin County auction process has not only yielded top value for the
equipment, but has streamlined the disposal process for us as well.

material to be placed on a berm at the intersections of Bryant Drive and Crown Oaks Road. The
Minnesota Department of Transportation has drafted a Phase I1 plan for a project that was
initiated by a citizen living in the Crown Oaks subdivision. A plan has been drawn by a
landscape architect for the Minnesota Department of Transportation and involves the planting of
approximately 58 plants on the existing highway berm. The estimated plant cost for this project
is $1,397.30.
Background
This project is known as a Landscape Partnership Project Agreement and the City of Eden
Prairie would be responsible for the purchasing and planting of the landscape material. The
Minnesota Department of Transportation would reimburse the City for the cost of the plant
material. A landscape plan has been drawn that specifies the size and spacing for the plant
materials. This project would be completed this spring and the City would be reimbursed for the
acquisition costs. The City's portion of the project cost would be the planting and aftercare for
these landscape materials.

Synopsis
This is a mixed-use PUD Concept plan consisting of 1,131,700-sq. ft. of office, 331 apartment
units, a 125-room hotel/restaurant, and 25,000 square feet of retail.
The project is located south of TH62, east of Shady Oak Road and north of City West Parkway.
The Community Planning Board voted 7-0 to recommend approval of the project to the City
Council at its December 10,2001 meeting.
Background Information
Guide Plan Change
The guide plan changes are as follows:
0
0
0
0
Office to high density residential on 19 acres
Office to regional commercial on 4.2 acres
Office to neighborhood commercial on 4.5 acres
Medium density residential to quasi-public on 10 acres
Medium density residential to office on 5 acres
These changes will result in a total of 29.3 acres of office, 19 acres of high density residential, 15
acres of quasi-public, 4.5 acres of neighborhood commercial, and 4.2 acres of regional
commercial uses.
The guide plan changes and PUD Concept are primarily rearranging Iand uses on &e property
which result in the following benefits to the City:
A mixed-use development of of€ice, retail and housing
Preservation of the 10 acre wooded knoll through density transfer and conservation easement
Preservation of 10.57 acres (91.3%) of the 11.57 acres of wetlands by conservation easement
Wetland mitigation on site with required buffers and setbacks
Significant tree loss of 29%
20% of housing units affordable with Tax Increment Financing
Traffic reduction through mixed land use
Travel Demand Management Plan to reduce traffic
PUD 'Waivers
In exchange for the preservation of the wooded knoll and other natural resources the city will be
asked to consider waivers at the time of the rezoning of the property. The following waivers
have been identified:
Ofice Site
Floor Area Ratio of 0.99. Code maximum is 0.50.
0 Building height greater than 30 feet. Six, eight, and ten story buildings are anticipated.
Structure setback from wetland buffer of 35%. Code maximum is 10%.
High Densily Residential Site
0-foot internal setback to parking. Code requires a 10-foot setback. Shared parking is
anticipated.
Neighborhood Commercial Site
0
0 0-foot internal setback to parking. Code requires a 10-foot setback. Shared paring is
FAR of 0.5 1. Code maximum is 0.40. Housing is proposed above the retail uses.
anticipated.
Building height greater than 30 feet. Housing is proposed above the retail uses.
Traffic and Road Improvements
The traffic study indicates the proposed plan will add 14,100 average daily trips with 1,850 AM
peak hour, and 1,780 PM peak hour trips in 2005, the year of anticipated completion of the
project. A Travel Demand Management plan will be required at the time of development with a
minimum goal of 8% peak period trip reduction above existing background levels. This would
result in a total trip reduction due to travel demand management practices of 13% to 15%.
Over time various road improvements will need to occur in the area involving MnDOT,
Hennepin County, the City, and UHG. The following road improvements will need to be
constructed by UHG as part of its PUD implementation to maintain acceptable levels of service.
The specific timing of these improvements will be based on the phasing of the development.

**Potential future partnering efoort with MnDOT and the City. This item was not part of the
trafic study and is anticipated to be a shared cost between public agencies and UHG.
Tax Increment Financing will also be used to offset some of the costs of constructing regional
road improvements associated with the multiple family portion of the project.
Alternative Urban Areawide Review
The Alternative Urban Areawide Review (AUAR) is an environmental review to consider an
overall development scenario for a large site, rather than incremental impacts of individual
projects or phases of one large project over a period of time. This is a comprehensive review of
drainage, wetland, traffic, water quality, and vegetation. The review identifies impacts and
mitigation plans.
The AUAR is distributed to local, state, and federal agencies to identify any environmental
protection measures.
The AUAR for UHG has identified the areas of potential significant environmental impact, 'and
includes the response to comments, and a mitigation plan for the project. The mitigation plan is
provided on pages M- 1 through M- 1 1 of the AUAR.
The City Council will adopt the Resolution for the AUAR at the time of Developer Agreement
approval.

Change fiom Office to High Density Residential on 19 acres, Office to Regional
Commercial on 4.2 acres, Office to Neighborhood Commercial on 4.5 acres, Medium
Density Residential to Quasi-public on 10 acres, and from Medium Density Residential
to Office on 5 acres, Planned Unit Development Concept Review on 72 acres, and
Alternative Urban Area-wide Review (AUAR.) on 72 acres. Location: South of
Highway 62, east of Shady Oak Road, North of City West Parkway.
The public hearing opened at 7:04 pm.
Tom O'Connor Real Estate and Procurement, UHG, thanked city staff for its
assistance.
John Dietrich, RLK, stated the 72 acre plan will utilize density transfer to allow a
higher floor area ratio and higher density by going vertical and preserving the wooded
knoll, DNR wetlands, wetlands within the site, and creating water quality ponds. They
are working with MNDOT on plans for storm water ponds north of Highway 62. The
eastern knoll will be preserved and is covered with oak trees. A landscape plan and tree
mitigation are part of this proposal. The plan as presented is a mixed-use development
including office, commercial, retail, and residential to create a live-work environment.
Pedestrian trail systems will be included. The wetland systems have been studied
extensively. Traffic generation to Shady Oak and proposed infrastructure
improvements, as well as a travel demand plan are included. Four office buildings and
three parking structures will be built in phases.
Franzen stated much of the proposal is re-arranging existing land uses on the property.
Adding commercial is the only significant change. Saving trees and minimizing
environmental impacts, creating affordable housing, and travel demand management
are integral components. This project embodies all of the City's development and
preservation goals. Staff recommends approval as presented.
Nelson inquired about sidewalks throughout the property and bicycle racks in parking
areas.
Dietrich explained sidewalks and trail systems are included in the PUD. The specific
locations of bicycle racks are undetermined but they will be included near parking
areas and retail.
Nelson inquired about the mixed use residential / retail and access security.
Patrick Bourgier stated retail and residential access will be separate.
Stoelting asked about the high density residential and shared parking.

Staff Report - UnitedHedth Gronp PUD Concept
November 23,2001
BACKGROUND
The 72-acre property is located at the southeast comer of West 6ZUd Street and Shady Oak Road. A
3.6-acre portion of the property lies north of TH62 abutting the City of Minnetonka The property is
guided for oftice, medium density residential and quasi-public land uses. The property is zoned rural.
I
In 1997, the City Council approved a United Healthcare PUD concept for the east 35 acres of the site
for 590,000 square feet of office, up to 720,000 square feet office with a travel demand management
plan. UnitedHealth Group (UHG) purchased the west 35 acres of the property in 2000.
UHG held an informational meeting at the Community Planning Board on August 13,2001, to present
the concept plan and obtain general direction. The Board directed UHG to preserve the wooded knoll,
minimize wetland and tree impact, and adequately address traffic issues, including development of a
travel demand management plan.
COMPREHENSIVE GUIDE PLAN CHANGE
The property is currently guided for 50 acres of office, 17 acres of medium density residential, and 5
acres of quasi-public.
The proposal includes the following guide plan changes to accommodate the mixed-use concept.
0
0
0
0
0
Office to high density residential on 19 acres
Office to regional commercial on 4.2 acres
Office to neighborhood commercial on 4.5 acres
Medium density residential to quasi-public on 10 acres
Medium density residential to office on 5 acres
These changes will result in a total of 29.3 acres of office, 19 acres of high density residential, 15 acres
of quasi-public, 4.5 acres of neighborhood commercial, and 4.2 acres of regional commercial uses.
The decision to change the guide plan depends upon the following:
0 Compatibility with surrounding uses
A mixture of office, commercial and residential land uses surround the site. The project is similar
in scale and diversity to the City West development to the south of the site. The site is adjacent to
a highway where mixed land use is appropriate.
The office buildings will be Class A in quality. At the time of rezoning architectural design
elements will be incorporated into a fiamework for the development of the property.
Natural resource impacts and mitigation plan
The sites signiscant natural resources are trees, topography, and wetlands.
Staff Report - UnitedHeaIth Group PUD Concept
November 23,2001
I Density transfer is proposed to preserve the natural resources.
The 10-acre wooded knoll on the east side of the site is ,guided medium density residential. The
proposed plan relocates the residential to the flat area of the site in between the wetlands. To
preserve the knoll, a quasi-public land use designation and conservation easement is proposed.
A tree inventory and impact analysis has been completed as part of a concept plan review. A total
of 12,176 diameter inches of sigmiicant trees are on site. Tree loss is anticipated to be 3,574
diameter inches, or 29%. The average tree loss for a mixed-use development is 40%. The tree
replacement plan meets the City Code requirements.
There are 11.57 acres of wetlands. One acre will be filled, All wetland mitigation is proposed on
site. The plan meets required wetland buffers. Conservation easements will be required over all
wetlands and buffers at the time of rezoning.
0 Traffic impacts and mitigation plan
The mitigation plan is based on land use, travel demand management and road improvements as
addressed below.
PLANNED UNIT DEVELOPMENT CONCEPT
UHG is proposing a mixed-use PUD concept consisting of the following uses:
0
0
0 125 room hoteYrestaurant
0
1,131,700 square feet of office
33 1 apartment units (minimum 20% affordable with Tax Jncrement Financing)
25,000 square feet of retail
The PUD Concept will result in the follow&g benefits:
A mixed-use development of office, housing and retail
Preservation of the 10 acre wooded knoll
Preservation of 10.57 acres (91.3%) of the 11.57 acres ofwetlands on site
Wetland mitigation on site
Significant tree loss of 29%
In exchange for the preservation of the wooded knoll and other natural resources the city will be asked
to consider waivers at the time of the rezoning of the property. The following waivers have been
identified
Office Site
Floor Area Ratio of 0.99. Code maximum is 0.50.
Building height greater than 30 feet. Six, eight, and ten story buildings are anticipated.
Structure setback &om wetland buffer of 35%. Code maximum is 10%.
Staff Report - UnitedHeaIth Group PUD Concept
November 23,2001 t
Hi& Den& Residential Site
0-foot internal setback to parking. Code requires a 10-foot setback. Shared parking is anticipated.
Neishborhood Commercial Site
FAR of 0.51. Code maximum is 0.40. Housing is proposed above the retail uses.
0-foot internal setback to parking. Code requires a 10-foot setback. Shared paring is anticipated.
Building height greater than 30 feet. Housing is proposed above the retail uses.
TRABFIC IMPACTS AND MITIGATION PLAN
The traffic study indicates the proposed plan will add 14,100 average daily trips with 1,850 AM peak
hour, and 1,780 PM peak hour trips in 2005, the year of anticipated completion of the project.
The mitigation plan is based on land use, travel demand management and road improvements. The
mixed used plan can generate less traffic since retail, housing and employment are in close proximity.
UHG proposes to implement a travel demand management plan that will have a minimum goal of 8%
peak period trip reduction above existing background levels. This would result in a total trip reduction
due to travel demand management practices of 13% to 15%.
Over time various road improvements will need to occur in the area involving MnDOT, Hennepin
County, the City, and UHG. The following road improvements will need to be constructed by UHG as
part of its PUD implementation to maintain acceptable levels of service. The specific timing of these
improvements will be based on the phasing of the development.

Staff Report - UnitecXHeaIth Group Puf) Concept
November 23,2001
The Alternative Urban Areawide Review (AUAR) is an environmental review to consider an overall
development scenario for a large site, rather than incremental impacts of individual projects or phases
of one large project over a period of time. This is a comprehensive review of drainage, wetland, traffic,
water quality, and vegetation. The review identifies impacts and mitigation plans.
The AUAR is distributed to local, state, and federal agencies to identify any environmental protection
measures.
The AUAR for UHG has identified the areas of potential significant environmental impact, and
includes the response to comments, and a mitigation plan for the project. The mitigation plan is
provided on pages M-1 through M-1 1 of the AUAR.
The Community Planning Board should discuss the following questions.
1. Should the land use remain as guided, or changed to accommodate the proposal by UnitedHealth
Group?
2. The project will require a density transfer to preserve the wooded knoll.
acceptable and if so, under what conditions?
Is density transfer
3. Traffic, wetlands, slopes, and trees are impacted by the proposed development. Is the mitigation
acceptable?
4. Waivers will be necessary at the time of rezoning of the property for floor area ratio, building
height and setbacks. Does the plan with waivers result in a better design for the City?
The proposed plan accomplishes the following:
Creates mixed land uses
Preserves the 10-acre wooded knoll -
Preserves 91% of the wetlands
Provides all mitigation on site
The PUD Concept and AUAR is the capacity plan for the property. The actual amount of building
square footage will be determined at the time of rezoning and site plan review for the property

SERVICE AREADIVISION: ITEM DESCRIPTION:
Public Works Service Area
Leslie Stovring Through Eugene Dietz Vegetation
January 15,2002
ITEM NO.: Ordinance Amending Section 9.71 of the
City Code Relating to Maintenance of Z.At
Requested Action
Move to:
Synopsis
The amendment of the City Code relating to maintenance of herbaceous vegetation is to allow the
use of native plantings to encourage water conservation and habitat enhancement. This change
would give individual residents more choices for conserving water and thus meeting the intent of
the Water Surcharge that was enacted in 1997 to encourage water conservation.
Background
The workshop for the native plant ordinance was held on September 27, 2001. A number of
revisions were requested. The revised ordinance was then distributed to the City Council on
November 30,2001 for final review. The results of this final review indicated that the revisions had
captured the intent of the comments from the workshop.
The following list summarizes the key revisions to the ordinance. Most of the changes were
tightening of definitions, rearrangement of provisions to provide better clarity and editorial in
nature.
0 The definition of “Natural Area” was revised to provide more flexibility in allowing pre-existing
vegetation to be exempt from the ordinance provisions for mowing and cutting. A definition for ,
garden has also been added to allow garden treatments within setback areas.
Requirements for removal of pre-existing turfgrass were revised to allow residents more
flexibility in retaining some areas of pre-existing vegetation such as areas that have dense trees
and shrubs. Areas that are predominately turfgrass that are left fallow do not produce a diverse
native plant area that would provide the full benefits of native plants, such as the deeper root
growth. However, areas dominated by trees and shrubs could.
0 The City would not be responsible for damage to vegetation within drainage and utility
easements as well as right of ways due to public works improvements or snow removal
activities. This would allow the City more flexibility in entering drainage and utility easement
areas for stormwater pond maintenance as well as other public works activities.
Provisions that landscaping shall not block or impede sight lines, street signs or street light
illumination were added.
Approve the first reading of an Ordinance Amending Section 9.71 of the City Code Relating
to Maintenance of Vegetation and Providing for Penalties for Violation Thereof.

Proposed Ordinance
CITY OF EDEN PRAIRlE
HENTIEPIN COUNTY, MINNESOTA
ORDINANCE NO. -02
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTION 9.71 OF THE CITY CODE RELATING TO THE
MAINTENANCE OF HERBACEOUS VEGETATION AND PROVIDING FOR PENALTIES
FOR VIOLATION THEREOF.
WHEREAS the City has determined that native plants that are indigenous or naturalized to
Minnesota help maintain the natural and floral diversity of the City and provide food, shelter, and
special habitat for wildlife. The City also finds that it is in the public interest to allow citizens to
choose the type of landscaping on private property. As a protection for the larger community,
however, this change in vegetation must be planned and managed. The Council enacts this
ordinance to balance the public interest with the public need to ensure proper maintenance of
vegetation.
Native plant landscaping requires less intensive management than hybrid or traditional
landscaping, fewer applications of fertilizer and pesticides, and reduced watering or irrigation.
These qualities can lead to conservation of local groundwater resources, less reliance on
chemical landscape additives, and lowered concentrations of sediment, chemicals, nutrients, and ---
other non-point source pollutants that run off into local surface water resources resulting in
improved water quality.
Native plant landscapes also function as buffers between highly sensitive natural landscapes such
as wetlands, meadows, woodlands, creeks, and lakes ahd highly impacted landscapes such as
paved surfaces or intensively managed lawns and gardens. When properly designed and
maintained these areas of native plants act as a filter and trap the movement of urban stormwater
pollutants, minimizing the impacts fiom surrounding land uses to the City’s water resources.
NOW THEREFORE THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY EDEN PRAIRIE, HENNEPIN COUNTY,
MINNESOTA, ORDAINS:
Section 1. City Code Section 9.71 is amended in its entirety to read as follows:
“SECTION 9.71. MAINTENANCE OF VEGETATION.”

Feasibility Study to Deconstruct the former Public
Safety Building.
Synopsis
In September, the City of Eden Prairie entered into an agreement with LHB Architects and Engineers to
study the feasibility of using a “deconstruction” process to tear down the old Public Safety Building.
LHl3 was chosen to conduct this feasibility study in part because of their well known commitment to
energy- and resource-saving principles and practices. In 2001, LHB received the Construction
Specifications Institute’s Environmental Sensitivity Award. Rick Carter, of LHB Architects and
Engineers, has completed this report and will present his findings to the City Council at the January 15,
2001, meeting.
The next step in this process is to prepare bid documents and advertise for the demolitioddeconstruction
of the building. Staff expects to return to the City Council with the bid results in March.

RE: City Council Meeting -November 20,2001
Eden Prairie Public Safety Building Deconstruction Project
I. EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
LHB is assisting the City of Eden Prairie staff in bidding the demolition of the former
Public Safety Building. The primary goal is to determine the feasibility of diverting
materials that would typically be sent to the County’s construction material landfill during
the demolition. The United States makes up approximately 5% of the world’s population
while using 25% of its resources and creating 40% of the waste worldwide.
Approximately 35-40% of all materials going into our rapidly filling landfills come from
construction and demolition projects. Deconstruction of the building to maximize reuse
and recycling of the construction materials should be evaluated as a means for the City to
be a leader in reducing our ecological footprint.
In addition to identifying resources and requiring a large percentage of these materials to
be recycled, attempts will be made to reclaim or salvage many materials. A secondary
goal will be to work with City staff to identify potential City of Eden Prairie projects that
could benefit from reuse of these materials.
11. SPECIFIC GOALS
The following are the goals of this project. . Divert up to 75-80% of all materials by weight, from the landfill
H Maximize the percentage of diverted materials that are reclaimed or salvaged
H Estimate the value of the salvaged materials that the City could reuse . Evaluate potential possible uses of salvaged materials that could be reused by the
City . Promote - the 3 R’s (reduce, reuse and recycle) these can be used not only for this
project but for future City projects as well.

III. PROCESS
The City has provided LHB with standard bid documents for a typical demolition project.
LHB has provided modified language and documents for the addition of an alternative,
asking the contractor to price both demolition utilizing traditional demolition methods
while requiring the contractor to work with companies who can remove and recycle
materials prior to demolition at no or little cost and deconstruction which maximizes the
principles of reuse and recycling. In the deconstruction alternative, the contractor will be
given a minimum percentage of landfill avoidance by weight and a list of materials to be
specifically salvaged and handed over to the City.
Once the bids are received, the numbers (including the estimated value of the salvaged
materials) will be given to the City Council, along with a recommendation fkom the City
staff. If the deconstruction alternate is selected, LHB will be retained to provide
Construction Administration services.
JY. COSTISSUES
The primary goal of this project is not cost reduction. If the deconstruction alternative is
the same or better value to the City, the decision will be easy. If the cost of landfill
avoidance is higher, the decision will be more difficult. This project is primarily about
changing construction and demolition practices that focus on directing reusable products
from landfilling.
V. DELIVERABLES
In addition to providing this report, LHB will provide the following:
' Summary results from review of construction documents (drawings and project
manual)
Inventory of existing building materials
Tour of building with explanation to three (3) local demolition contractors in order
to get an industry perspective on the feasibility and timeliness of deconstruction to
utilize recycling and/or deconstruction practices.
Written recommendation to the City on modifications to their bid documents

POTENTIAL CITY USES
LHB & City staff identified two City projects for the reuse of salvaged materials. One is
the Eden Prairie Center space and the other is a potential park structure. These are ideal
projects given the nature of the materials available. Reuse of materials for these projects
would require temporary storage of materials.
VII. EDUCATIONAL
This project will involve a graduate level class from the University of Minnesota, College

LHB and the City staff will return to the City Council for approval once the bids are
received in order to make a specific recommendation and answer any questions.

Synopsis
The Eden Prairie City Council and the City’s Human Rights and Diversity Citizen Advisory Commission have
given the Human Rights Youth Scholarship Award annually since 1995. Scholarship applicants are asked to
show a demonstrated commitment to the Human Rights ideals of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., and others, in
their school, volunteer, church, and community service, and describe what the Eden Prairie Manifesto means to
the community of Eden Prairie. The $500 award is for a high school senior who resides in Eden Prairie and
plans to pursue post-secondary education.
In honor of the late Mayor Jean L. Harris, whose dedication to the ideals of diversity and inclusion were well
known, the Human Rights and Diversity Citizen Advisory Commission is requesting to change the name of the
Human Rights and Diversity Youth Scholarship Award to the Jean L. Harris Human Rights and Diversity
Youth Scholarship Award.
