FROM: Scott H.Neal,City Manager
RE: DRAFT Ordinance and DRAFT Resolution
As a follow-up to the Council's September 17th Workshop and post-Council meeting
discussion concerning the concept of adopting new regulations for smoking in Eden
Prairie,the City Attorney and I have drafted a resolution and an ordinance for the
Council's review and consideration. Copies of the draft resolution and draft ordinance

The Council's discussion on this matter on September 17th was rather wide-ranging. We
believe we have accurately portrayed the consensus of the Council in the enclosed

CITY OF EDEN PRAIRIE
HENNEPIN COUNTY,MINNESOTA
RESOLUTION NO, 02-
RESOLUTION SUPPORTING,ADVOCATING AND URGING THE
MINNEOSTA STATE LEGISLATURE TO ENACT A STATE WIDE
SMOKE FREE LAW PROHIBITING SMOKING IN PLACES OF
EMPLOYMENT AND RESTAURANTS
BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Eden Prairie, Minnesota (the
"City"), as follows:
WHEREAS The Eden Prairie City Council does hereby find that:
(1) Numerous studies have found that tobacco smoke is a major contributor to
indoor air pollution,and that breathing secondhand smoke(also known as
environmental tobacco smoke)is a cause of disease in healthy
nonsmokers,including heart disease, stroke,respiratory disease,and lung
cancer. The U.S. Surgeon General has determined that secondhand smoke
is responsible for the early deaths of 65,000 Americans annually.
(2) The Public Health Service's National Toxicology Program has listed
secondhand smoke as a known carcinogen(U.S.DHHS,2000, citing Cal.
EPA, 1997).
(3) Secondhand smoke is particularly hazardous to elderly people, individuals
with cardiovascular disease, and individuals with impaired respiratory
function,including asthmatics and those with obstructive airway disease.
Children exposed to secondhand smoke have an increased risk of asthma,
respiratory infections, sudden infant death syndrome,developmental
abnormalities, and cancer.
(4) The Americans With Disabilities Act,which requires that disabled persons
have access to public places and workplaces, deems impaired respiratory
function to be a disability.
(5) The U.S. Surgeon General has determined that the simple separation of
smokers and nonsmokers within the same air space may reduce,but does
not eliminate,the exposure of nonsmokers to secondhand smoke. The
Environmental Protection Agency has determined that secondhand smoke
cannot be reduced to safe levels in businesses by high rates of ventilation.
Air cleaners,which are only capable of filtering the particulate matter and
odors in smoke,do not eliminate the known toxins in secondhand smoke.
significant amount of secondhand smoke exposure occurs in th�
(6)
A xp4)
workplace. Employees who work in smoke-filled businesses suffer a 2117
50%higher risk of heart attack and higher rates of death from
cardiovascular disease and cancer,as well as increased acute respiratory
disease and measurable decrease in lung function.
(7) Smoke-filled workplaces result in higher worker absenteeism due to
respiratory disease, lower productivity,higher cleaning and maintenance
costs, increased health insurance rates, and increased liability claims for
diseases related to exposure to secondhand smoke.
(8) Smoking is a potential cause of fires;cigarette and cigar bums and ash
stains on merchandise and fixtures causes economic damage to businesses.
WHEREAS, Eden Prairie residents and business community are concerned that the
enactment of a local ordinance prohibiting smoking in places of employment and restaurants will
have a negative effect on the community's businesses because businesses in adjacent
communities will not be subject to the same regulation;
WHEREAS,the Eden Prairie City Council has heard from many residents and businesses
that a state wide smoke free law is more appropriate than a local ordinance so as to not place at a
disadvantage the businesses of this or any other individual community; and
WHEREAS the City deems it prudent,reasonable and necessary to support, advocate and
urge the passage of state wide legislation(1)to protect the public health and welfare by
prohibiting smoking in public places and places of employment; and(2)to guarantee the right
of nonsmokers to breathe smoke free air, and to recognize that the need to breathe smoke free
air shall have priority over the desire to smoke.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY OF EDEN PRAIRIE,
MINNESOTA THAT:
The City Council hereby supports, advocates and urges the Minnesota State Legislature
to enact during the 2003 Legislative Session a law establishing all Minnesota places of
employment and restaurants as smoke free.
Passed by the City Council this day of October,2002.

21 A. Findings and Intent. The Eden Prairie City Council does
22 hereby find that:
23
24 (1) Numerous studies have found that tobacco smoke is a major
25 contributor to indoor air pollution, and that breathing
26 secondhand smoke (also known as environmental tobacco
27 smoke) is a cause of disease in healthy nonsmokers,
28 including heart disease, stroke, respiratory disease, and lung
29 cancer. The U.S. Surgeon General has determined that
30 secondhand smoke is responsible for the early deaths of
31 65,000 Americans annually.
32
33 (2) The Public Health Service's National Toxicology Program
34 has listed secondhand smoke as a known carcinogen (U.S.
35 DHHS, 2000, citing Cal. EPA, 1997).
36
37 (3) Secondhand smoke is particularly hazardous to elderly

50 (5) The U.S. Surgeon General has determined that the simple
si separation of smokers and nonsmokers within the same air
52 space may reduce, but does not eliminate, the exposure of
53 nonsmokers to secondhand smoke. The Environmental

57 the particulate matter and odors in smoke, do not eliminate
58 the known toxins in secondhand smoke.
59
60 (6) A significant amount of secondhand smoke exposure occurs
61 in the workplace. Employees who work in smoke-filled

65 measurable decrease in lung function.
66
67 (7) Smoke-filled workplaces result in higher worker absenteeism

72
73 (8) Smoking is a potential cause of fires; cigarette and cigar
74 burns and ash stains on merchandise and fixtures causes
75 economic damage to businesses.

79 public health and welfare by prohibiting smoking in public
80 places and places of employment; and (2)to guarantee the

DATE: October 1,2002
RE: Request for Investigation and Questions Posed Regarding Draft Smoke Free
Ordinance
CHRONOLOGY
By a document dated September 17, 2002, Paul Wendoiff submitted a series of issues that
requested a task force investigation. On September 23, 2002, Ken Rockier, .the Bowling
Proprietor's Association of Minnesota Executive Director, submitted a letter posing questions
similar to the issues raised by Mr. Wendorff. This memo will respond to the questions and issues
raised in both documents. This memorandum presents an annotated time line pertaining to the
Smoking Ordinance. Reference to the time line itself is helpful in placing in context the various •
discussions the City Council has engaged in with respect to this issue. In addition, however,
reference to the actual minutes is important and should be consulted for a more complete
understanding of the Council's discussion and actions.
On April 16, 2002 City Council Meeting. Clean Air on the Prairie made a presentation to the
City Council regarding second hand smoke from tobacco use. Following the presentation, the
minutes reflect the Council's following action:
"MOTION-Mosman moved, seconded by Butcher,to direct Staff to put together
a charter statement and structure for a Task Force to study the issue of a smoke-
free ordinance and report back to the Council at workshop session."
The motion carried 4-0-1. City Manager, Carl Juilie, suggested the May 21 Council workshop
would give
"...three or four weeks to gather information, start drafting a
charter statement that would address the purpose and goals and the
Staff support needed, and put together some time lines and the
number of meetings." •
•r
May 7, 2002 City Council Workshop. At the next City Council workshop, on May 7, 2002, the
minutes reflect a discussion regarding a second hand smoking ordinance. Mayor Tyra-Lukens
stated she had spoken to City Manager Scott Neal regarding the task force and that the make-up
of a task force would depend largely on which particular issue the Council decides they want to
tackle. Council Member Case stated that perhaps the Council should forego the creation of a task
force and go right to work on a draft ordinance. Council member Butcher stated that the Council
will encounter resistance if they pass an ordinance without taking public input. Council Member
Butcher stated her perspective all along has been that a task force that would explore all sides of
the issue would be created. Council Member Butcher also suggested the possibility of holding a
referendum on any proposed ordinance. Council Member Luse stated that the Council must keep
in mind the best interest of the entire mass of people and that if an ordinance is passed, it must be
all-inclusive and there should not be any"half measures." •
May 21, 2002 City Council Workshop. At the May 21, 2002 workshop, a draft ordinance was
presented to the Council. The Council was advised,
"...the draft was developed for the Council to use as a working document. It is
designed to allow Council Members to choose which portions to retain, delete
and/or revise."
The draft provided a framework for the Council to decide what issues should be addressed by
either the Council or a task force; allowed the Council to work on a draft ordinance directly if it
decided to forego a task force; provided an opportunity for the public to make comment on
specific proposals rather than mere conjecture as to what the Council would consider; and the
draft presented was all inclusive with the exception of the regulation pertaining to hotels and
motels.
The Mayor proposed holding a two-hour special meeting to hear public testimony on a possible
second hand smoking ordinance. This suggestion was also in accordance with statements made at
the May 7 Workshop,that the Council should not pass an ordinance without taking public input.'
A question was asked as to why the draft ordinance was presented. The minutes reflect that I
informed the Council that before the April 16 meeting, I had forwarded a draft motion to create a
task force to study a second hand smoking ordinance to Carl Jullie,who was City Manager at the
time. No action was taken on the draft motion but the Council indicated a desire to discuss the
It should be noted that at the April 16 meeting the Council did not move to appoint a task force.
The action was to direct staff to put together a charter statement and structure for a task force to
study the issue of a smoke free ordinance and report back to the Council at a workshop session.
Presentation of the ordinance to the Council was entirely consistent with the Council's motion. A
sample ordinance, such as presented to the Council could have been used, had the Council so
desired, as the substantive matter on which the Council would direct a task force to work.
issue at a workshop. The minutes further reflect that Carl Jullie and I met to discuss how to
provide the Council with a starting point for discussion of a possible ordinance.We agreed that I
would create a draft ordinance that would allow for extensive input by the Council and provide
choices from which they could pick and choose. In fact, after discussion among Council
Members, Mayor Tyra-Lukens suggested using the draft ordinance as a framework for talking
points for the public at a special meeting and that the Council could announce that at the
beginning of the meeting that the passage of an ordinance is not a foregone conclusion.
May 21,2002 City Council Meeting. At the regularly scheduled City Council meeting, the matter
of second hand smoke was addressed twice in the meeting. First, under Petitions, Requests and
Communications, a half hour was given to nine individuals who spoke with respect to their
opposition to the regulation of second hand smoke. The individuals were Thomas Briant, John
White, Pickled Parrot restaurant, Maggie Mellby, Hopps Restaurant Bar and Brewery, Mike
Anderson, Green Mill restaurant, Tara Feltmann and Gary Chanen, Outback Steakhouse, Greg
Michaels, Outback Steakhouse, Kenn Rockier, Executive Director of Bowling Proprietors •
Association of Minnesota, and Tom Day, Minnesota Restaurant and Minnesota Hotel
Associations.
The issue was also discussed on the agenda shortly thereafter under the title of"Public Meeting
on Smoke Free Air Ordinance. Council Member Case made the following motion:
"MOTION - Case moved, seconded by Luse to direct staff to find a date to set a
public meeting for the purpose of soliciting comments regarding our proposal to
enact a smoke free ordinance in the City."
After discussion about developing guidelines for such a meeting, Council Member Case moved
to amend the motion, seconded by Council Member Luse as follows:
"AMENDMENT TO THE MOTION: Case moved, seconded by Luse, to direct
Staff to develop process and guidelines for the public meeting, which would
include having a hearing officer to conduct the meeting, the presentation of
alternative views, one after the other, and setting specific time limits on the
presentations."
The Mayor and several Council Members noted that Council had not made a decision with
respect to adoption of the draft ordinance and that the draft ordinance served as a discussion
point and framework to solicit comments and that the Council was attempting to be open to a
variety of opinions. The vote on the amendment and motion as amended carried 4-1.
June 4, 2002 Council Meeting. At the June 4, 2002 meeting of the City Council, a protocol for a
public meeting on a smoke free ordinance was presented to the Council. After discussion by the
Council,the following motion was passed:
3
"MOTION: Case moved, seconded by Mosman to set the eight-point process as
a guideline for the Public Meeting on Smoke-Free Ordinance to be held on June
11,2002.
The motion was passed 3-1. Mayor Tyra-Lukens stated that she"wanted to reiterate the fact that
all forms of communication will be given equal weight." She noted that if someone chooses to
send an email, it would be helpful to include their name and other information requested of the
speakers at the public meeting.
June 11, 2002 City Council Public Meeting. On June 11, 2002, the City Council held a public
meeting and received comment from 17 individuals who spoke against an ordinance and 33
individuals who spoke in favor of an ordinance.
June 18, 2002 City Council Meeting. At the June 18, 2002 meeting, under Reports of Council
Members, Mayor Tyra-Lukens reviewed the history of the discussion of the development of this
ordinance thus far. She reiterated that a sample ordinance has been drafted but no decision made.
She requested discussion on whether the Council still wanted to move forward at this time. After
discussion by the Council about Council Member's individual opinions on the matter, the
Council agreed to hold a workshop on July 2, 2002. The Mayor stated the Council would try to
construct an ordinance from the ground up using the draft sample ordinance as a framework.
July 2, 2002 City Council Workshop. A workshop session was held on July 2, 2002. After
discussion regarding the recent Ramsey County District Court Order regarding MPAAT,
discussion of the ordinance was held in abeyance pending receipt of an opinion of the Attorney
General on whether the MPAAT ruling impacted the City's power and ability to proceed forward
with discussion of the sample ordinance and adoption of a smoking ban ordinance. Subsequent to
the meeting, the Attorney General's opinion was requested on the following question:
"Is the opinion of the Attorney General dated May 4, 2000 addressed to Peter
Vogel on behalf of the city of Little Falls, Minnesota2, still valid in light of the
Order and Memorandum of the Ramsey County District Court dated June 27,
2002, issued by Judge Fetch in the case of State of Minnesota, and Blue Cross
Blue Shield of Minnesota v Phillip Morris Incorporated, et al, Court File No. C-1-
94-8565?"
The office of the Attorney General responded by letter dated July 25, 2002.The Attorney General
Opinion stated, "You ask whether the Ramsey County District Court's order affects the authority
of the city to regulate smoking in public places."The Opinion concludes:
2The Opinion addressed to Little Falls states "Thus,we conclude that an ordinance which
prohibits smoking of tobacco any place in a public restaurant is consistent with state law and not
preempted by it."
4
"The District Court's Order and Memorandum does not affect the right of the City
to regulate smoking. The Court's analysis, including the language quoted above,3
addresses the manner in which MPAAT has expended funds. It does not refer to
the authority of local governments to regulate smoking. It was MPAAT's `focus'
on promoting regulatory ordinances which was found to be without legal basis,
not the ordinances themself. As a result, the Court's order does not affect the
authority of the City of Eden Prairie to regulate smoking in public places."
August 6, 2002 City Council Meeting. The City Council received•a copy of the Attorney
General's Opinion quoted above at its meeting on August 6, 2002. The Council agreed to set a
workshop to discuss the next phase of discussions on the proposed Smoke-free Air Ordinance for
Tuesday, September 17,2002 at 5:00 p.m.
September 3, 2002 City Council Meeting. At the September 3, 2002 meeting, there was
discussion under Reports of Council Members regarding the sample smoke free ordinance that
was posted on the website. The consensus of the Council was that the sample ordinance was
misleading in that members of the public thought it was a draft of what the Council was prepared
to adopt, when in fact it was not. As a result, the sample ordinance was removed from the City's
website.
September 17, 2002 City Council Workshop. The City Council held a workshop both before and
after its regularly scheduled meeting on September 17, 2002 to consider a proposed smoking .
ordinance. The result of the meeting was that the Council wished to review an ordinance that
would ban smoking only in publicly owned spaces. Smoking within restaurants and places of
employment would not be regulated by such an ordinance. The City Council agreed to hold
further discussions on how to proceed at the October 1, 2001 workshop to be held at 4:00 p.m.
September 17, 2002 City Council Meeting. The Council discussed two items relating to smoking
during the meeting. First, there was a motion to discontinue sale of tobacco products in
municipal liquor stores as follows:
"MOTION — Luse moved to discontinue the sale of tobacco products in all
municipal liquor stores in the City of Eden Prairie, effective January 1,2003."
The motion was seconded by Case and carried 5-0. Second, there was a discussion of the
task force proposed by a citizen earlier in the meeting. City Manager Scott Neal stated
_that his office planned to issue a press release summarizing the Council's deliberations
and to review the request for the task force as a request for public information.
3The language the Attorney General opinion referred to in the letter as quoted above is as
follows: "MPAAT's four year focus on the environmental smoking ordinance smoking
prohibition approach,in derogation to providing assistance to individual tobacco users,is
without legal or factual justification."

REQUEST FOR INVESTIGATION BY A TASK FORCE AND QUESTIONS
SURROUNDING THE COUNCIL'S PROCESS ON A SMOKE FREE ORDINANCE
Many of the issues or questions raised can be Rnswered by a simple reference to the record. I will
go through the issues that are identified in the request for a task force and respond to them in the
order of their presentation. This will also serve to respond to the letter of September 23, 2002.
Some of these issues have already been responded to at the Council's last Council meeting.
1. Request that a task force investigate the creation and organization of the Clean Air on the
Prairie group by the American Cancer Society, the membership of the Clean Air on the
Prairie and the amount of MPAAT funds spent by the American Cancer Society to
organize and support Clean Air on the Prairie's lobbying efforts.
As stated at the Council's meeting on September 17, 2002, the Council does not have the
authority to investigate an outside organization such as Clean Air on the Prairie or the
American Cancer Society. Powers of the City are set forth in Minnesota Statutes §§
412.11 and 412.221. Neither of the these sections grant the City the power to conduct
investigations of outside organizations. I am not aware of any other law outside of these
two provisions that grants the City such authority. This office has requested and received
from the Ramsey County District Court as well as the American Cancer Society
documents identifying the expenditure of funds related to the American Cancer Society's
smoke free ordinance effort. Although the documents that were filed with the Court or
prepared by the American Cancer Society do not reflect the specific dollar amounts for
Eden Prairie, they do identify the funds spent by MPAAT in its stated objectives to lobby
for the passage of smoke free ordinances. If the Council so wishes, we will make copies
of those documents available at City Hall so that any citizen may have access to them.
2. Request for the date, amount and purpose of each expenditure of MPAAT funds by the
American Cancer Society to lobby Eden Prairie Council Members and influence residents
including printing of brochures, mailing of brochures, telephone bank operations and
other lobbying related efforts.
As stated above, the City does not the authority to investigate such activities nor does it
have the authority to require MPAAT or the American Cancer Society to deliver such
information to the City. The information referenced above is available to the Council and
if directed, we can make this information available at the City for review and copying by
citizens.
3. Request for the date,place and substance of each meeting during 2001 and 2002 between
the American Cancer Society or Clean Air on the Prairie or their representatives with City
Council members, City Staff members and the City Attorney regarding a smoking ban
ordinance.
To the extent there is Government Data that was collected, created,received, maintained
6
or disseminated by the City pertaining to any such meetings, that data would be public
data and available to anyone who makes a request for it.I am not aware,however,there is '
any such data in the City's possession or control. The City Manager has stated that the
City will follow its regular processes in responding to requests for public data. Neither I
nor my staff have had any meetings with the American Cancer Society or Clean Air on
the Prairie regarding a smoking ban ordinance or any other topics.
4. Request for the date, amount and purpose of each expenditure of M1SAAT funds by
Minnesota Smoke Free Coalition (SFC) to lobby Eden Prairie Council Members and
influence residents including printing of brochures,mailing of brochures, telephone bank
operations and other lobbying related efforts.The information requested is not the type of
information that the City can compel MPAAT or SFC to deliver to the City. The request
is more properly directed to MPAAT or SFC.
5. Request for the date, place and substance of each meeting during 2001-2002 between
SFC's representatives and City Council members, Staff members and the City Attorney
regarding a smoking ban ordinance.
The answer to this request is the same as the answer to Request No. 3. To the.extent there
is Government Data that was generated as a result of any meeting that may have been
held, the same would be public data and available to the public upon the filing of a data
practices request. Again, neither I nor members of my office have had any meetings with
SFC.
6. Request as to the circumstances involving the City Council's initial decision at the April
16, 2002 meeting to appoint a task force and the subsequent decision at the May 21, 2002
meeting to forego a task force and proceed with steps to adopt an ordinance.
6.A. The statements and recommendations made by Council Member Case that a task force
not be appointed and the hesitancy of the Mayor to appoint a task force at the May 7,
2002Workshop meeting.
A review of the Chronology presented in detail above, provides the answer to the
question. The Council discussed the issue at the April 16th Council meeting, at the May
7th Council meeting and after the May 21st Council workshop. The Council never
considered a motion to appoint a task force. The Council did adopt a motion asking staff
to bring forth to it a charter statement and structure for a task force to study the issue of a
smoke free ordinance. The decision made at the May 21, 2002 meeting was not a decision
to proceed with the ordinance but rather an action by the Council to take public
testimony. In fact,the City heard from 50 individuals who spoke at the meeting.
Essentially, the request asks for an investigation as to why a Council Member and the
7
Mayor expressed an opinion4. In fact, Council Member Case and Mayor Tyra-Lukens
explained on the record their positions at that meeting. If the question is posed because
the writer believes that a violation of the Open Meeting Law took place, then that matter
is not appropriate for a City Council appointed task force to investigate. The Minnesota
legislature has made quite explicit the recourse for any alleged violation of the Open
Meeting Law. The Open Meeting Law is codified in Minnesota Statutes Chapter 13D.
Section 13D.06 addresses the process and remedies for anyone who alleges an open
meeting violation.
13D.06 Civil fines; forfeiture of office; other remedies.
Subdivision 1. Personal liability for $300 fine. Any person who intentionally
violates this chapter shall be subject to personal liability in the form of a civil
penalty in an amount not to exceed $300 for a single occurrence, which may not
be paid by the public body.
Subd. 2. Who may bring action; where. An action to enforce the penalty in
subdivision 1 may be brought by any person in any court of competent jurisdiction ..
where the administrative office of the governing body is located.
Subd. 3. Forfeit office if three violations. (a) If a person has been found to have
intentionally violated this chapter in three or more actions brought under this
chapter involving the same governing body, such person shall forfeit any further
right to serve on such governing body or in any other capacity with such public
4
Under the Minnesota Data Practices Act, the mental impressions of public officials and
employees is not government data subject to the Act See Keezer v. Spicard, 493 NW2d, 614,
617 (Minn. App. 1992). The Court stated "We can not believe the legislature intended the term
`government data' to be literally'interpreted to include unrecorded data that exists only in the
human brain." The Court went on to state that "To give effect to the Act; we conclude that
information is not `government data' until the information is recorded somewhere other than the
human brain."Id at 618.
8
body for a period of time equal to the term of office such person was then serving.
(b) The court detaining the merits of any action in connection with any alleged
third violation shall receive competent,relevant evidence in connection therewith
and, upon finding as to the occurrence of a separate third violation, unrelated to
the previous violations,issue its order declaring the position vacant and notify the
appointing authority or clerk of the governing body. (c) As soon as practicable
thereafter the appointing authority or the governing body shall fill the position as
in the case of any other vacancy.
Subd. 4. Other remedies; requirements; limits. (a) In addition to other remedies,
the court may award reasonable costs,disbursements,and reasonable attorney fees
of up to $13,000 to any party in an action under this chapter.
(b) The court may award costs and attorney fees to a defendant only if the court
finds that the action under this chapter was frivolous and without merit. •
(c) A public body may pay any costs, disbursements, or attorney fees incurred by
or awarded against any of its members in an action under this chapter.
(d)No monetary penalties or attorney fees may be awarded against a member of a
public body unless the court fmds that there was a specific intent to violate this
chapter.
There is no authority under this statute for the City Council to investigate any such
violation through itself or through a task force.
6.B. Request 6.B.is a series of three questions:.
1. Who gave the City Attorney the authority to draft a smoking ordinance when the
Council voted 4-1 at the April 16,2002 Council Meeting to establish a task force?
The City Manager gave authority to draft a smoking ordinance.
2. Under what authority did the City Attorney and acting City Manager rely to
independently decide to draft a smoking ban ordinance and forego the Council's
direction to draft a charter statement and a structure for the appointment of a task
force?
9
The City Manager is granted authority to direct preparation of ordinances under
Minnesota Statutes § 412.651, Subds. 6 and 8. The City Manager's direction that
a draft ordinance be prepared was entirely consistent with this statutory authority.
The relevant subdivisions of the statute provide as follows:
•
Subd. 6:
"Recommend ordinances and resolutions. The City Manager
shall recommend to the Council for adoptions and such measures
as the City Manager may deem necessary for the welfare of the
people and the efficient administration of the affairs of the City."
Subd. 8:
"Administrative Code. The City Manager shall when directed to •
do so by the Council prepare and submit to the Council for
adoption an administrative code incorporating the details of .
administrative procedure, and from time to time the City Manager
shall suggest amendments to such code."
3. Whether a member or member of the City Council suggested or directed the City
Attorney and/or acting City Manager to forego drafting a task force charter
statement and instead subvert the Council's April 16, 2002 decision by directing
the smoking ban ordinance be drafted.
No.
7. Requests for investigation of a possible conflict of interest resulting from the past and/or
current status of Mayor Tyra-Luken's membership and/or involvement in the American
Cancer Society to due American Cancer Society's lobbying efforts to influence the
Council to adopt a smoking ban ordinance.
I have advised the Council that the circumstances do not present a conflict of interest
prohibited by Minnesota statutory or case law. In addition, we have researched the issue
in response to a request by Mr. Thomas Briant. It is my opinion that the Mayor does not
have a conflict of interest arising out of any past association with the American Cancer
Society. It should be noted that the American Cancer Society is not a member-based
organization and therefore Mayor Tyra-Lukens was never and could not be a member of
the American Cancer Society.A copy of my letter to Mr.Briant is attached.
8. Request investigation of possible conflict of interest resulting from Council Member
10
Butcher appointing Leslie Ellis as co-chairperson of her state senate campaign.
Although this particular allegation was not specifically addressed in opinion cited above,
the same analysis, the same statutory scheme and court decisions, are applicable on this
issue. After consideration of the allegation and the relevant statutes and case law,it is my
opinion that Council Member Butcher's appointment of Leslie Ellis as a co-chairperson
of her state senate campaign does not constitute an interest in a matter to be acted upon by
the Council and is not prohibited by Minnesota Statutes § 471.87 and § 412.311. Further,
as analyzed under the line of cases cited in my letter including Lenz v. Coon Creek
Watershed Dist, 153 NW2d 209 (Minn. Sup Ct. 1967), Council Member Butcher is not
disqualified from voting on the proposed ordinance as a result of her appointing Leslie
Ellis as co-chairperson of her state senate campaign.The allegation seems to be that since
• Mr. Ellis is active in Clean Air on the Prairie, that his relationship to Ms. Butcher as co-
chairperson of her senate campaign gives Mr. Ellis influence over Council Member
Butcher's positions. While in fact it is reasonable to assume that the exact opposite, i.e.
that Council Member Butcher's views would strongly influence Mr. Ellis, there is not a
conflict of interest presented. Council Member Butcher's views on a smoking ban
ordinance have been explicit and public. The fact that Mr. Ellis is a member of Clean Air
on the Prairie and is a co-chairperson of Council Member Butcher's state senate
campaign is also public. In addition to there being no conflict of interest, there has been
no withholding of any information from the public. The matter has been open to public
scrutiny the entire time this item has been considered.
9. Request for investigation of any and all other issues that relate to the ethical and moral
conduct of the Eden Prairie City Council regarding the proposed smoking ban ordinance.
Any issues relating to Council Member's actions,whether it be an alleged violation of the
Open Meeting Law or any alleged misconduct can only be addressed pursuant to state
statutes which provide the process for any citizen to seek recourse. That recourse does
not lie with the City Council but rather elected officials of the state including the
Hennepin County Attorney and the right of any member of the public to bring an action in
state court.

XI. ORDINANCES AND RESOLUTIONS
XII. PETITIONS,REQUESTS AND COMMUNICATIONS
A. PRESENTATION BY"CLEAN AIR ON THE PRAIRIE"REGARDING
SECOND-HAND SMOKE FROM TOBACCO USE
Jullie said we received a request for a spot on the April 16 Council Agenda for a
presentation by an Eden Prairie group called"Clean Air on the Prairie."
Leslie Ellis, 10860 Forestview Circle,said some of the background for this
presentation was given in the Champion of Health presentation(Item IV). He said
he has long had concerns about the harmful effects of secondhand smoke on the
health of our citizens. He and his daughter are committed to continuing Jean
Harris' fight to protect citizens from the effects of secondhand smoke. He said
they have found a partnership in this effort with the American Cancer Society.
They have circulated a petition about this issue and have obtained the signatures
of 1400 Eden Prairie residents.
Cindy Ellis, 635 Prairie Center Drive,asked that a task force be formed to
investigate the issue of a smoke-free work environment and smoke-free public
places.
Cindy Schulz, 9211 Homeward Hills Road, said she volunteered for the American
Cancer Society. She would support a City policy that would protect those who
live and work here. She believes secondhand smoke is a deadly disease.
Becky Hedlo said she works at the Eden Prairie School District. She said the
School Board has passed a resolution approving making the City into a smoke-
free community. She was concerned about the issue of modeling behavior for

young people and about the effect of secondhand smoke on children with asthma.
Jim Gunther, 9082 Victoria Drive, said there is an epidemic of second hand
smoke.He thought this was an opportunity for the Council and Eden Prairie to set
a precedent in this area.
I
Stacy Pearson, 13222 Bush Lane, said she worked at a local restaurant that
allowed smoking and she had many colds and coughs. She said her health has
improved since she quite working at the restaurant.
Kathy Meyer, 9427 Clubhouse Road, said she has owned the TLC cafe and
catering business in Eden Prairie for 12 years. She believes a smoke free
workplace policy is necessary to keep her employees' and patrons' health. She
said her business is now going smoke free and her clientele have been very
pleased with the decision. She said this as an opportunity for the City to sGt an
example for the rest of the metropolitan area.
Pete Donnell, 12200 Middleset Road, said he is a pediatrician who wanted to take
a leadership position to make Eden Prairie a safer place to live and work.
MOTION:Mosman moved,seconded by Butcher,to direct Staff to put together a
charter statement and structure for a Task Force to study the issue of a smoke-free
ordinance and report back to the Council at a workshop session.
Butcher said out of deference to Jean Harris and her hard work and the concern of
many of our residents, she believed it would be prudent to have a task force to
work on this issue and gather the information for further discussion at a
workshop.
Case said there is a financial component that makes this issue somewhat
complicated. The bottom line is that people are getting ill or dying because of
second hand smoke. He believed we,as a society,must respond, and it is a
question not of"if,"but"how" and"when."
Luse thanked Mr. Ellis for his outstanding service as Eden Prairie's"First Man"
and for the entire family's commitment to the community.He thought this is a
political issue,and he was very concerned about Eden Prairie getting involved in
this issue at this time.
Luse said he supports a ban on smoking in public places in.Eden Prairie,and he
believes that the great majority of our residents also support such a ban. To him,
there is no middle ground.However,he thought it is best that we not start
exploring this ban until the Attorney General clarifies the rules of engagement on
this contentious issue,which he understood is to happen in May. Therefore,he
said he would vote against forming the task force at this time because it is just a
little too early.
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
April 16,2002
Page 10
Luse said while he would like to see us demonstrate leadership on this public
health issue,he doesn't want our city to become an island or a battleground.After
a difficult year in city government,he didn't think we need the divisiveness that
could come as we become targets of political campaign forces on both sides of
this issue.
ti
Luse said the Attorney General would be issuing guidelines on how anti-smoking
organizations that receive state money can interact with city and state officials.
These guidelines will help set the rules of engagement so we can have fair and
constructive debate.
Luse also believes this is an issue that is best addressed at the statewide level. But
because the political will doesn't exist to take this on statewide in Minnesota,he
was concerned that the political maneuvering over this issue city by city will be
very divisive and distract us from other issues of equal importance. He thought we
should start considering this important issue with the Attorney General's
guidelines in place after May 17th.
Mosman said she could understand Councilmember Luse's concerns but she has
been doing some research on this issue. She said she understands that the MPAT
issue is a separate issue from us looking at a smoking ordinance, and we are not
going to be using any MPAT money to put together a task force. We are
representing our citizens, so she did not feel that we would need to wait. She
noted there were 200-some local ordinances passed in California before the state
passed the ordinance.
• Tyra-Lukens didn't see this as an MPAT related issue,but rather as a public
health issue. She was very supportive of this but thought there are issues that need
to be looked at,such as how best to draft an ordinance that would address some of
the concerns or the business community.
Luse said he believes we have to look out for the majority and his concern is the
political ramifications.He was approached by MPAT and lobbied to support the
issue. He said he was asking for just 30 days before we allow the political
maneuvering to begin.
Butcher said she wanted to clarify that this is a task force to collect and gather
information that will come to the Council where we can discuss this issue.
Luse said he understood the concept but, in the process,perception is reality. He
was concerned that,if we start the process,the sound bite will be that Eden Prairie
has passed the smoke-free ordinance.
Rosow asked if the intention was that staff draft a charter statement and structure
for the Council to approve the task force and then make appointments to the task
force.He suggested indicating a time frame for when the charter should be
brought back.
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
April 16,2002
Page 11
Jullie suggested the May 21 City Council meeting.That gives three or four weeks
to gather information, start drafting a charter statement that would address the
purpose and goals and the staff support needed,and put together some timelines
and the number of meetings.He thought we could follow the guidelines for other
task forces. We have a workshop date open on the evening of May 21 that could
be used for discussion of a charter statement.
VOTE ON THE MOTION: Motion carried 4-0-1,with Councilmember Luse
opposed.
B. PETERSON/BRIGGS REQUEST REGARDING MOVING THE
FELTMANN HOUSE
Jullie said at the March 19 meeting the Council gave Staff direction to follow up
on a number of items. He referred to the U.S. Fish&Wildlife Service's response
to questions posed by the City in a letter to the USF&WS. The Council also took
action to suspend work on the proposed parking lot and access to the Richard T.
Anderson Conservation Area.He also referred to a copy of the notice to the
Briggs family suspending the termination of their lease.
Rick Schultz,Manager of the Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge,
reviewed his letter of April 8 responding to the questions posed in Mr.Lambert's
letter of March 21, 2002.He said he tried to explain why they believe a relocation
of the home would complicate their management of the area as well as their future
plans. He hoped the home could be relocated to another location.
Schultz said the only remaining units left to be purchased in the Refuge are within
the Upgrala Unit.He said they only acquire land from willing sellers, and they
pay the market value,based on an appropriate process to determine that value.He
noted they offered Mr.Peterson a fair market value purchase of the land in
November 1979 and again in April 1988;however,in both cases the Petersons
refused to sell. He said it is his agency's highest priority to obtain appropriations
from the U.S. Congress to purchase land in this area.
Tyra-Lukens thanked Mr. Schultz for his presentation. She noted that we all
recognize the value of the Refuge. She asked how long the Upgrala area has been
the highest priority for purchase.
Schultz said the Upgrala area is about 2000 acres so they have not had
appropriations to purchase all of it at once.
Case asked how many acres in total there are left to buy. Schultz responded there
are about 2000 acres. Case then asked if Mr. Schultz would estimate as to the fair
market value of that area. Schultz said 284 acres in Chaska sold for$1,000,000 a
year ago.He said$5 million would not buy the entire area.

. I. CALL MEETING TO ORDER ..
Mayor Tyra-Lukens called the meeting to order at 5:30 p.m. .
IL APPROVAL OF AGENDA
Mosman moved,seconded by Case to approve the agenda. Motion carried 5-0.
III. SECOND HAND SMOKE
City Attorney Ric Rosow reviewed a draft ordinance his office prepared for discussion.
The ordinance includes: . • . . . •.
. • Findings on the health effects of second-hand smoke
• • A section that defines terms referenced later in-the document •
• A section pertaining specifically to City-owned vehicles
• General restrictions,rules of enforcement,and proposed effective date .
,Rosow said the draft was developed for the Council to use as a working document. It is
designed to allow the Councilmembers to choose which portions to retain, delete and/or
revise. Rosow said the ordinance is based on existing ordinances from other Minnesota
cities and municipalities throughout the country. Councilmember Butcher asked how
closely this draft resembles Duluth's ordinance. Rosow said he could provide a written
comparison to other Minnesota ordinances for later review by the Council.
Tyra-Lukens proposed holding a two-hour special meeting to hear public testimony on a
possible second hand smoking ordinance. Similar to Hennepin County Board Meetings, -
each speaker would be allowed a maximum of three minutes.Pro and con speakers would
alternate. The Council could choose to take action at the end of the meeting or wait until
the next Council meeting to proceed. - -
Tyra-Lukens said she was hesitant to appoint a task force at this point.She strongly
ym PP g Y
believes that restricting exposure to second-hand smoke is strictly a health issue, and not
a topic conducive to debate. She said she could see appointing a task force to help with
implementation issues after an ordinance is passed.
Luse said smoking is not just a health issue,but a personal rights issue. He was
concerned about negative public perception of the Couneil deciding not to;appoint a task
• force after taking action to do so at the April 16 meeting. He said if a-public meeting is _ -' .
held,three minutes per speaker is probably not long enough. Tyra-Lukens noted that the
public has other options for expressing opinions to the Council,including phone calls,e-
mails and letters. The purpose of the public hearing should be to hear new information -
and opinions. Mosman said it would be difficult for the Council to sit through more than
a couple of hours of testimony, and that the public should be encourage to write and call
' as well. '
Butcher said she was disconcerted by the proposed process.=She thought the Gbuncil had
agreed to discuss formation of a task force at this meeting. She wondered whose idea it
was to instead create the draft ordinance that was presented. She.said this was-`..`putting -
the cart before the horse." She said she was not even at the point of deciding whether or
not it is the Council's role to regulate second-hand smoke. She said the first order of
business is to determine how to get public input,both pro and con. She urged the rest of
the Council to consider other options as well,such as holding a referendum or supporting
lobbying for a statewide second-hand smoke ordinance.
Rosow said that before the April 16 meeting,he had forwarded a draft motion to create a
task force to study second hand smoking ordinance to Carl Jullie,who was City Manager
' at the time. The Council chose not to take action on the motion Rosow-had drafted,but •
indicated a desire to discuss the issue at a Workshop. Rosow and Jullie met to discuss
how to best provide the Council with a starting point for discussion of a possible •
ordinance. -They agreed Rosow would create a draft ordinance that would allow-for
extensive input by the Council and provides choices from which they could pick and
choose. • 4:..: ,.. •
.•
Case said if a public meeting is held,it is critical not to make any final decisions that
night. He needs time to consider the input before making any decision. He.said he was -
- also struggling with some of Butcher's suggestions. His understanding from the April 16
meeting was that staff was directed to come back to the Council with recommendations
on how to approach the issue. Case said a referendum works best when the choices are
black and white. He said he could not envision how the public could vote on a proposed
ordinance when-they maybe in favor of portions of it but not agree with other parts. He
said this is one of the times when the Council is faced with clear issues of right and
wrong and truthfulness. Butcher said a referendum would ask voters only whether or not
they favored an ordinance,not what would be contained in the ordinance. •
eTyra-Lukens reiterated that she believes regulating second hand exposure is a public
health issue and that if the tobacco lobbyists are given the chance to throw money at the
issue,the truth will become obscured. Butcher replied that it is also about public policy
and regulating an activity that is legal. Luse said that although the Council's ultimate
decisions will probably be based on the interest of public health, they cannot bypass the �`-
- opinions of a whole host of others who may feel differently. Tyra-Lukens suggested
using the draft ordinance as a framework for talking points for the public at a special
meeting, and that the Council could announce at the beginning of the meeting that
passage of an ordinance is not a foregone conclusion.
Luse said the issue is too divisive to be decided by referendum. He would prefer the City
conduct a survey of residents. Luse also said he felt the appearance by the"Clean Air on
the Prairie"group rushed the Council into taking action on an issue it was not ready to
consider. Case disagreed, saying he had been hearing from various groups and
individuals on this topic for at least six months. He said the Council has taken up the
issue because they feel a resonance with it.
Tyra-Lukens said some of the comments made by other Councilmembers lead her to
believe not everyone agrees that second-hand smoke really is a health issue. She said
health professionals have known for more than 20 years that second hand smoke is
detrimental to health, and that's where the role of Council as leaders comes in. It is time
to do something about it. Tyra-Lukens said it is unusual as a Councilmember to hear
positive comments from constituents,but that she has repeatedly been told that they are
doing the right thing in considering this ordinance.
Case said that he feels the accusations that have been made by some about the Mayor's
alleged conflict of interest stemming from volunteer work she did over 15 years ago
shows how dangerous it would be to form a task force that would include tobacco
lobbyists.
Tyra-Lukens asked if the Council was ready to come to an agreement.on what action to
take regarding holding a special meeting. Rosow said any action would have to be taken
as part of the regular Council meeting. Council agreed to add this item to the Council
agenda for further discussion.

A. Findings and Intent. The Eden Prairie City Council does hereby find
that:
•
(1) Numerous studies have found that tobacco smoke is a major
contributor to indoor air pollution, and that breathing secondhand
smoke(also known as environmental tobacco smoke) is a cause of
disease in healthy nonsmokers,including heart disease, stroke,
respiratory disease, and lung cancer. The U.S. Surgeon General has
determined that secondhand smoke is responsible for the early
deaths of 65,000 Americans annually.
•
(2) The Public Health Service's National Toxicology Program has
• listed secondhand smoke as a known carcinogen(U.S.DHHS,
2000,citing Cal.EPA, 1997).
(3) Secondhand smoke is particularly hazardous to elderly people,
individuals with cardiovascular disease,and individuals with
impaired respiratory function,including asthmatics and those with
obstructive airway disease. Children exposed to secondhand smoke
have an increased risk of asthma,respiratory infections, sudden
infant death syndrome,developmental abnormalities, and cancer.
(4) The Americans With Disabilities Act,which requires that disabled
persons have access to public places and workplaces,deems

designated property in the rural zoning district for office and commercial uses to
encourage preservation and revitalization of the publicly and privately owned
historic properties in the community.

XI. PETITIONS,REQUESTS AND COMMUNICATIONS
A. SECOND HAND SMOKE—THOMAS BRYANT
Tyra-Lukens said the Council agreed to allow one-half hour for this item, and those
who wished to speak were to have signed up on a list.
Thomas Bryant, 15560 Boulder Pointe Road, introduced the speakers.
John White,Pickled Parrot Restaurant, said he took special care to design his
restaurant with the only smoking area in the bar.They designed and installed a
smoke extraction system at great cost. He said their design was approved by the
City.He said they would never have considered coming here and building here
with such an ordinance. He noted that were the whole state to consider such a
measure, he would wholeheartedly support it because that would put them on an
even playing field.He thought the City should form a task force to look into this
further in order to consider the effect on the hotel and restaurant business.
Maggie Mellby, Hop's Restaurant, Bar and Brewery,was concerned about the
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
May 21,2002
Page 8
effect such an ordinance would have on their restaurant. She said the bar section
has a separate ventilation system. They adopted a policy that prohibits smoking
until 1:00 p.m.on weekdays. She also would support a ban on a statewide level.
Mike Anderson, Green Mill Restaurant,thought this would drive a wedge between
the City and its merchants. He thought it is unjust and unfair.
Tara Feltmann and Gary Chanen,Outback Steak House,were concerned about jobs
if the ordinance passes. They presented a petition signed by people who were
dining in their smoking section in the last two days. They were concerned about the
ramifications to employees like Tara who are single parents. They thought the City
should investigate this and look at alternatives. Chanen said he is on the Board of
the Eden Prairie Chamber of Commerce, and the Board is not neutral on this issue.
He agreed that this should be a state issue, not a city issue.
Greg Michaels, Outback Steak House, opposed the smoking ordinance.He said he
also owns a restaurant in Rochester where such a ban was put in place at the county
level. He said this ordinance would create a non-level playing field for them.
Kenn Rockier,Executive Director, Bowling Proprietors Association of Minnesota,
said he is a non-smoker and is a registered lobbyist. He said the hospitality industry
is concerned about why the City is rushing ahead on this. He urged the City to
consider the ramifications. He noted they have a convention that can no longer go
to Rochester because of the Olmstead County ordinance.
Tom Day, Minnesota Restaurant and Minnesota Hotel Associations, said he was
asked to be here on behalf of the hotels and restaurants in the City. He said the
association has never received money from the tobacco industry and is neither for
nor against tobacco. He said they are pro choice, and there should be smoking and
non-smoking options.He thought individual business owners should make the
decision as to whether to allow smoking. He said no state or city has also
considered including hotel rooms.
Tyra-Lukens thanked all those who made presentations,noting that businesses are
an important part of our community.
B. GOLF COURSE PROPOSAL
Lambert introduced Mark Christianson,a PGA golf professional and an Eden
Prairie resident.
Mark Christianson said he was asking the City to consider a proposal to build a golf
facility on 35 acres next to the Flying Cloud ball fields at the southwest corner of
Spring Road and County Road 1.He said lie wants to build a facility that would
cater to all levels of golfers.He wants to provide lessons and leagues and wants to
make the facility affordable to everyone.He said there is limited land available
elsewhere in.Eden Prairie for such a facility, and this type of project fits well in the-

MOTION: Case moved,seconded by Mosman,to review Mr. Christianson's
proposal and to direct staff to evaluate the feasibility of accommodating this
request and the recommendation of the Athletic Programs Task Force within land
available to the City,and report back to the Council within 60 days.Motion
carried 5-0.

C. PUBLIC MEETING ON SMOKEFREE AIR ORDINANCE.
MOTION: Case moved, seconded by Luse,to direct Staff to find a date to set a
public meeting for the purpose of soliciting comments regarding our proposal to
enact a smoke-free ordinance in the City.
Rosow noted the Council talked about having Staff develop guidelines for such a
public meeting which would include such items as the hearing officer,alternative
views being presented one after another,and specific time limits as part of the
guidelines.
AMENDMENT TO THE MOTION:Case moved,seconded by Luse,to direct
Staff to also develop a process and guidelines for the public meeting, which would
include having a hearing officer to conduct the meeting,the presentation of
alternative views one after the other,and setting specific time limits on the
presentations.
Luse said the business community explained their concerns here this evening.He
read the following statement explaining his position on the issue:
"This smoking issue brings into conflict many contending interests —
personal health, the economic health of a community, personal freedoms,
balancing majority and minority views, the role of local versus state
government.Our job as a council,my job as a Councilmember,is to weigh
all those factors, listen to the residents and business owners of Eden
Prairie,and do what I believe is in the best interest of our community.
• I can support a ban on smoking in public places in Eden Prairie, but
only if it is total.
• I still believe that the state legislature is the right forum for this issue—
smoking regulations should be consistent statewide.
• If Eden Prairie acts alone to ban smoking in public places,we will hurt
some of our businesses and our own economic health as a community.
• It is only worth risking some of our economic health if the protection
of personal health is effective.
• Half measures on second-hand smoke would give us the worst of both
worlds—second-hand smoke still damaging individuals' health, and Eden
Prairie businesses losing customers to surrounding communities that
haven't banned smoking.
The desire to compromise, to find some place where people can smoke in
public, is understandable. But in my view there is no middle ground in this
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
May 21,2002
Page 11
case. Second-hand smoke hurts people's health. And any action we take as
a council to further reduce second-hand smoke is going to have a cost— in
lost tax revenue from businesses locating elsewhere, and possibly in legal
costs as we're sued for telling businesses that something we once
approved is now illegal.
If we're going to pay that cost, it should buy us health. Still allowing some
second-hand smoke won't do that. Having some hotel rooms allow
smoking and some not doesn't help the employees of that hotel avoid
harmful smoke. Nor does having one corner of a bar allow smoking. On
this issue, compromise will only bring confusion and inconsistency.
I'd still rather see this issue addressed at the state level. That's the best
place for all the contending interests and freedoms to be fully considered,
and statewide law makes the playing field level for business owners,and
individuals.
I had hoped that Eden Prairie could avoid the divisiveness that standing
alone on this issue would bring — but the debate is well under way now
and let's listen to everybody and have a full discussion. And if we're
going to act alone and make Eden Prairie an island, let's make sure that
we've really made an island that's healthy."
Butcher noted there were some concerns brought up this evening that this body had
already made a decision. She said we have not made a motion,and we are still
gathering perspectives through an agreed-upon process.We are going to follow that
process.
Tyra-Lukens said the sample ordinance on the web site was just an all-inclusive,
catchall ordinance. She said that is not the proposed ordinance,but rather is a
sample ordinance as a discussion point and a framework to solicit comments from
the citizens.
Case said he did not sense the same consensus among the Councilmembers as
others in the audience did.We are still trying to draw lines,and he, for one,would
like to keep the concept of a compromise open.He said he had the goal that the
state would some day step up to the plate,but to get there we may have to look for
areas that will mitigate some of the issues for better health.
Mosman said she heard quite a few contradictory statements from the letters we
have been getting and from the presentations we have heard. She would like to fmd
a way to ask for documentation to back up the studies quoted or have a rebuttal
from someone who would know the correct information. She would like to have
confirmation of who did the study and have a rebuttal if there was one.
Rosow said when the process is developed for the manner in which the public
meeting is to be conducted,the hearing officer could require anyone quoting
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
May 21,2002
Page 12
studies to provide data for the record to back up the information presented. He said
we could have the hearing officer require that and build it into the process.
Mosman said she would write up the things about which she has heard
contradictions.
Case said he would also like the freedom to at least question the statistics that are
presented. He would like to be able to question in order to clarify the facts.
Tyra-Lukens asked Mr.Rosow to work with the hearing officer to come up with
the process.
VOTE ON THE AMENDMENT: Motion carried 4-1, with Luse opposed.
VOTE ON THE MOTION AS AMENDED:Motion carried 4-1,with Luse
opposed. a
Luse clarified his negative vote by restating his position that this is a state issue,
therefore he voted nay.

Lambert said Staff is recommending the council approve a feasibility study
on an outdoor water park.The recommendation would include appointing
an ad hoc committee of four members from the Parks,Recreation&Natural
Resources Commission,three residents at large,and one member each from
the Foxjets and School District 272.The committee would work with Staff
to evaluate a site or sites,and then look at a preliminary design. He said we
would have to have a design and site in order to estimate the expenditures
and revenues.
Case thought we owe it to the residents to investigate this because of the
response on the survey to this project.

food items as they discussed before.Uram.said they are going to bring in goods from a
commercial kitchen.Case asked when the renovation work would begin.Uram said they
expect to bring discussions back to the Council the first of July,and expect to have it open
right before Thanksgiving.

H. REPORT OF CITY ATTORNEY
1. Protocol for Public Meeting on Smoke-Free Ordinance
Rosow said his office has arranged for Administrative Law Judge Allan
Klein to preside over the public meeting on June 11,2002. His office also
prepared a Notice and Order for Public Meeting and a letter to Judge Klein
identifying preliminarily the procedure we would use for the meeting.
Rosow reviewed a proposed five-point process with the Council.The five
points included:
a. Each presenter shall be limited to three(3)minutes.
b. Each presenter shall be required to present testimony under oath.
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
June 4,2002

c. The Law Judge would ask speakers to alternate between pro and con
until that was not possible.
d. The Council requested that there be backup data for factual data
being presented.If factual testimony is, in fact, opinion testimony, it
will be received as opinion.
e. Parameters will be set regarding the length of the meeting. The
meeting will start at 7:00 p.m.and adjourn no later than 10:00 p.m.
If,at the end of the three-hour time period,there are additional
presentations not yet heard,the Council would have the opportunity
to continue the meeting to another date or possibly extend the time
beyond the scheduled 10:00 p.m. adjournment.
Case asked if we could take written testimony up to a certain time as a third
alternative.Rosow said that was an excellent point and he would add that
written testimony could be submitted.
•
Tyra-Lukens said she maintains that what somebody says here at a public
meeting doesn't have any more weight than another person's email or
phone call. She was not sure there should be a cut-off at all because that
may imply we want to restrict the amount of information submitted.
•
Luse said we need to let all the voices be heard and that is what we are
doing. He thought we have been very clear about how we were going to do
it and we decided this was the best format.He didn't think we would know
until that night if we will need another night or more for presentations.
Tyra-Lukens said this is not the only format to let them be heard because
email and calls are acceptable.
Case said he would also like to have the idea out there that every voice
could be heard,but it may not be heard at that public meeting. He said the
purpose is to gather information but also to assist us in formulating our
position,He said there is more value to us to be able to ask questions of the
speaker rather than having an additional number of speakers,and he thought
those two things might be at odds. Ultimately the goal is to help the five of
us to arrive at a decision that is the best for the residents of Eden Prairie. He
encouraged people who are not able to attend the meeting to contact the
Council by another means.
Tyra-Lukens asked if there is a way the Council can ask questions of the
presenter.Rosow said he would add to the first item that the council may
ask questions and that will be outside of the speaker's three minutes.
Case thought we might also have to limit the response time.He also thought
after a certain time when speakers have said the same thing,it is important
that the judge says it is helpful to hear something new.He thought the judge
should be able to handle that.

Mosman said her question has been whether we plan to respond to the
public as they are speaking. She thought we are not making a decision that
night so we should not be expected to give our responses.
Tyra-Lukens said that was how she is feeling. She said there is no ordinance
that we are defending.
ti
Case said the State Supreme Court does this by hearing both sides and
questioning each one. That is our role to take testimony and respond back.
Mosman said she has received a number of phone calls and emails that have
questioned whether the Council has the right to pass an ordinance on this.
She asked Rosow if he could provide a statement Councilmembers could
use to answer such communications.
Rosow said the Council does have the authority to adopt an ordinance
dealing with this subject matter and the Attorney General has so said.We
can reiterate that at the public meeting and have a copy of the Attorney
General's opinion on that subject available.
Luse thought we need some structure as we gather this information, and he
thought we are being very professional in our approach. He thought it feels
a little restrictive about how we have information corning to us. He would
agree that we should be able to ask questions of a presenter. Regarding the
question of whether we as the Council have the authority to adopt such an
ordinance, he thought maybe the answer is that it goes on a ballot in
November.
Luse thought we have to be sure that all the people feel they had had their
voice heard. He would support follow-up questions and some all-
encompassing additional time frame if needed. He said there is a whole
problem with the three-minute time frame, but he would agree we have to
do it that way to make the process fair. He would support scheduling
another meeting in July,which we could cancel if it is not necessary, so that
we get all the information needed to make a final decision on the issue.
Case thought we should cross that bridge when we get there. He thought at
the conclusion of the public meeting it is possible that something will come
out to indicate we have received the information we need to make a
decision.We could come back at the next regular meeting and raise the
question of whether there was enough time spent. At some point we as a
Council need to look at what we get and make a decision.An individual can
reach us in various formats, so he did not think we need to allow every
individual to use the format of speaking at a public meeting. He said we are
promising that every position will be heard.
Mosman said she agreed with Councilmember Case. She noted that some of
the emails that were in the Council packets have very interesting pieces of-
CITY COUNCIL.MINUTES

information and she wondered if it would be appropriate to read some of
them at the meeting,or if they should be brought in as backup for why a
particular decision was made.
Tyra-Lukens said she did not think everything that has been sent to the
Council has to be entered into the record at the public meetini.
Luse said the majority of the voices heard to date tend to be on one side of
the issue or the other.He was seeing about half and half on the issue. He
thought there are many people who would say this is an important
individual rights issue, and we need to take a vote of our 55,000 people. He
thought we would be setting ourselves up for public scrutiny if we don't go
the extra mile to get the information. He thought ultimately the issue is a
health issue,but he didn't want others in the community to think that the
individual rights issue and all the other political issues were not heard.
s
Tyra-Lukens thought the issue of a referendum comes later,and she thought
there would be pros and cons for a referendum.
Luse said he was asking for a three-hour meeting to be scheduled in July,
with the stipulation that presenters cannot duplicate their presentation from
the June meeting. He thought then whatever decision gets made,we will
have done everything we can to get the issues out on the table.
Tyra-Lukens said she would prefer to wait to make a decision until after the
meeting on the 1 1`h. She didn't want to schedule a meeting now. She
thought we should get as many people at this one as we can and then deal
with whether to schedule another meeting.
Case said the point is the objective of the meeting is to get information on
the positions,and we have told every citizen in the community that they can
contact any of us at any time. He thought in the course of three hours this
representative body will get the information and can then consider the next
step.
Tyra-Lukens said the purpose of the meeting is to determine the pros and
cons of the issue.Case added that the purpose is also to help us make a
decision as a governing body.
Mosman asked if we would want to limit who would be allowed to present,
for example,would a restaurant owner from Florida who would be against
such an ordinance be a relevant presenter that we should be hearing from.
Case thought it would be a slippery slope to limit those who could present.
He thought having the disclosure of who they are and where they live or
work would put the testimony in the appropriate light.
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES

Tyra-Lukens said we should ask people to sign up on a pro or con list and
they will be asked to come forward alternately. She asked if we want to
regulate how often anyone can speak. Case said he thought we should
allow each person to speak one time.
Luse said to him this is a health issue,an economic issue and an individual
rights issue. He thought we will continue to receive input on the health and
economic issues next Tuesday,but we have barely-begun to touch the
individual rights issue. He implored the Council to go the extra mile so we
can get rid of any question as it relates to the ability to communicate. He
was concerned that a three-hour time frame is not going to allow us to get
finalization on all three of the issues involved, and he again asked for
another three-hour meeting in July.
Case thought the purpose of the meeting is to get all the issues laid out. That
may be done in one meeting or not,but we would decide that afterthe first
meeting.
Tyra-Lukens said we definitely want to get a lot of public input, and we are
going after issues. She wasn't sure what more information we would get
regarding the individual rights issue if another meeting were scheduled.
Luse said his concern is the group of people who are concerned that this is
an individual rights issue have not been heard.
Case said the individual rights issue is not a gray area. He didn't think we
need three hours to cover that because it is a belief statement. He thought
we do need to take the time to get feed back on the health issue and look at
the impact of what we do to see how it affects businesses.
Luse said he was trying to eliminate the other pieces of this issue so that we
can get back to where he can accept this.He believed we need more than
three hours to get the information out,and the additional time could be held
any time, not necessarily in July.
Case noted that no one has said we wouldn't go beyond three hours.
Mosman thought just bringing up the subject may trigger people who feel
strongly on the individual rights issue to come to the meeting or email us.
She said we should encourage them to come,as we want to hear that as part
of the testimony.
Luse said his concern is that only 25%read the paper,and even fewer view
the cable channel. He didn't think the residents fully understand the process.
He wanted to give the impression that we are going the extra mile, and that
is really what the request is.He did not want it to be construed as a delay,
but rather as a way to get a group of very strong views.

Case thought everyone wants to go the extra mile,and we are saying that
we are not sure the extra three-hour meeting will be necessary.We can take
the meeting at face value and assess where we are at the end of the meeting.
Tyra-Lukens reiterated that the public meeting is not the only way to get
opinions to the Council. She said emails,phone calls and letters are all
available to the public and each type of information will be given equal
weight.
Rosow reviewed the guidelines the hearing officer would employ at his
discretion as follows:
a. Each presenter shall be limited to three(3)minutes.
b. The Mayor and Council Members may ask questions of presenters.
The time to answer the questions will be in addition to the three
minutes provided for above but never-the-less,the response to the
questions should be limited to two(2)minutes.Mayor and Council
Members will not respond to questions from the public at this
meeting.
c. Each presenter shall be required to present testimony under oath.
Each presenter will be allowed to speak once.
d. Each new presenter will be asked to state their name,home and
business address and the name of their employer.
e. Alternate between presenters pro and con on the issue.A sign-up list
for both pro and con will be available and individuals wishing to
present testimony should sign the appropriate list.
f. After the same point has been made by several speakers,the Hearing
Officer will ask future presenters to present new information,not
just reiterate what has been previously said before.
g. Anyone presenting factual evidence(as opposed to opinion
testimony)must also present to the Council supporting data that
tends to establish the facts being presented to the Council.For
instance,if a presenter wishes to persuade the Council that the
adoption of such an ordinance would have either a negative or a
positive impact on a business sector,the presenter should be
required to provide the factual basis or data that supports the claim,
i.e. a survey or study measuring the impact of a similar ordinance in
another city.If the factual testimony is in fact opinion testimony,the
Council will receive the opinion testimony as part of the record but
it should be so identified.

b. The public meeting will start at 7:00 p.m. and adjourn no later than
10:00 p.m.If there are present at the public meeting individuals who
wish to address the Council but have not had an opportunity to do
so,the Council will decide at that time whether or not to continue
the meeting to another date
MOTION: Case moved, seconded by Mosman,to set the eight-point •
process as a guideline for the Public Meeting on Smoke-Free Ordinance to
be held on June 11,2002.Motion carried 3-1,with Luse opposed.
Tyra-Lukens said she wanted to reiterate the fact that all forms of
communication will be given equal weight. She noted that if someone
chooses to send an email, it would be helpful to include their name and the
other information requested of presenters at the public meeting.

to expend public monies for a special election or advisory election unless a specific law
authorizes such an election.The decision in this case rests entirely with the City Council
upon receiving the kind of public input they will be receiving this evening.
Councilmember Butcher asked how Duluth was able to hold such an election.Rosow
responded that he believes Duluth is a Charter City. It is governed by a Charter that may
allow special elections. Eden Prairie does not have that authority.
With regard to the personal rights issue,Luse asked what the mechanisms are to allow
this City Council to have the public voice their opinion in this decision if they cannot
hold an election. Rosow responded that it is tonight's public hearing,telephone calls and
• letters.Luse asked if the reason they are not allowed to bring this issue before the
community via an election is because Eden Prairie is a Statutory City and not a Charter
City.Rosow said that was correct.
M. PUBLIC HEARING
The following spoke for a smoke-free ordinance
Cindy Ellis, 635 Prairie Dive, Clean Air on the Prairie—Ellis explained that she is in
favor of the smoke-free ordinance because it is the right thing to do.The ordinance is
necessary to protect the health of the people. It is the government's responsibility to
protect the citizens,from unhealthy undertakings. Smoking negatively affects the lives
around us and it is time for the government to intervene. Non-smoking sections in
restaurants do not provide an adequate smoke-free environment.
Richard Woellmer, 3847 Huntington, Minnetonka,American Lung Association of
Minnesota—Woellmer spoke on the problems with mitigation and the risk of second-
hand smoke which is very well documented. The separation of smoking and non-smoking
areas does not work due to diffusion of smoke and ventilation systems. With regard to
restaurants losing business if they go smoke-free, studies show that there is no affect on
businesses.Fifteen communities were studied before and after the adoption of clean-air
regulations and restaurants showed no change in business.He encouraged the City
Council to eliminate exposure to second-hand smoke in Eden Prairie.
Wilson Bryce, 14418 Fairway Dr.—Bryce explained that he is in favor of a smoke-free
ordinance.He explained that he is a licensed architect and believes there are efficient
ways to accomplish execution of smoke.This could be accomplished by enacting a
specific ordinance that would require specific architectural requirements.This does cost
more money. The time has come when public hygiene and air quality deserves equal
treatment. They must choose between proper ventilation systems or be smoke free.No
one should have the right to compromise someone else's health.
Jill Birnbaum,669 Nebraska Ave. E,American Heart Association—Birnbaum presented
copies of her testimony and supporting research. She stressed the support of the
American Heart Association of this ordinance.It will have a positive effect on the health
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
June 11,2002
Page 3 `.
of the citizens of Eden.Prairie. Smoking increases heart disease and the risk for strokes.
Birnbaum explained that second-hand smoke exposure accelerates health issues.
Birnbaum reviewed actions taken by the State with regard to this issue but said she feels
this is a local issue.
Linda Lackard,7034 Cambridge Lane, Shakopee—Lackard said she is in support of a
strong smoke-free ordinance. She lives about ten minutes from Eden Prairie and has two
children. Because of her family's healthy,they have decided on zero tolerance for
second-hand smoke.When Eden Prairie passes this ordinance she will bring more of her
business to this City.
Beth Baker, 13297 Cardinal Creek Road,Minnesota Medical Association—Baker said
she encourages the City Council to pass a smoke-free ordinance to protect people from
second-hand smoke. Lung cancer is caused by excessive second-hand smoke exposure.
Baker distributed a handout supporting estimates of health issues affecting children
caused by second-hand smoke. Baker said she does not think restaurant owners realize
that they are losing business from second-hand smoke. She explained that smoke-free
ordinances do work. By making smoking less accessible, they will be creating a climate
to support smokers that are trying to quit.
Jill Ness, 1926 Aldrich Ave. S,Minneapolis, Hennepin County Community Health
Department—Ness explained that she is a representative from the Hennepin County
Community Health Department Youth Tobacco Prevention Use. Ness spoke in favor of a
strong smoke-free work environment. Smoking is the leading cause of preventable deaths
and second-hand smoke is the second leading cause. These issues can be addressed with a
strong ordinance that will provide for a strong and healthy community:
Wanda Chomilo, 9952 Lawson Lane—Chomilo said she has two concerns,the first is the
effect of second-hand smoke on everyone and especially children. Her second concern is
the effect of second-hand smoke on the employees of the restaurants. Small children and
unborn babies are most affected by second-hand smoke. This also affects the employee's
health care dollars. Chomilo said if this ordinance is passed, she feels the people in the
community will be healthier.
Vicki Pellair Price— 16893 Bainbridge Rd.—Pellair Price said she strongly supports a
non-smoking ban. She presented a report her son did for school in 1988 on smoking. She
urged the Council to have a smoke-free community.
Michele Hoffstetter, 18260 Croix Wood Lane—Hoffstetter said it is a violation of their
rights to allow smokers in public facilities. The ordinance would be protection for the
non-smokers.Hoffstetter said she supports a smoke-free work place.This ordinance will
support the right of non-smokers to not be poisoned by someone else's choice.
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
June 11,2002
Page 4
The following spoke against a smoke-free ordinance
Ryan Maltzen, 14327 Fairway Dr., Green Mill Restaurant—Maltzen said the issue here is
to please everyone.However,he sees three different issues with the main issue being
politics.A person's freedom of choice will be denied citizens and owners of businesses
on how to run their business. Another issue is economics. One of the main things affected
will be the impact on repeat business if smokers are driven away.-Maltzen said he does
understand the health risk,however,there are many people in the area that do not know
about this issue. They need to let people know about both sides of the issue.Maltzen said
he has 450 signatures of people who said they would go to surrounding establishments in
surrounding communities should Eden Prairie pass a smoke-free ordinance.Eden Prairie
should not be used as a stepping stone to pass an ordinance that should be adopted state-
wide.
Tim Schallberg,4240 W. 124th St., Savage—Schallberg explained that he is a patron of
Eden Prairie's restaurants on an average of three days.a week.He explained that if this •
ordinance is enacted he may not patronize Eden Prairie businesses but may move on
more quickly to other communities or avoid Eden Prairie establishments all together. The
ban may also result in more intoxicated drivers because they will go to more house
parties and not be in a controlled environment.A community cannot exist without an
economic viability. Schallberg said they need to let the free market determine where the
balance lies. He asked where the health debate will end. Perhaps the next thing will be to
ban diesel fuel or fried foods.
Greg Olson, 7373 Ann Court—Olson said he is speaking in opposition to this proposed
ordinance but does recognize that something should be done about the presence of
second-hand smoke. He asked that the City Council find a better way of including
businesses in solving this issue. Businesses in this community provide half of the tax
base. This issue does impact the health and livelihood of those businesses and employees.
Second-hand smoke is a problem and many of them are interested in finding a solution
that is fair to all sides. Olson said he believes this is a great opportunity to show other
communities and other businesses that all stakeholders in this community work together
to resolve issues. Olson asked that the Council try to determine what is fair for both sides
and what is workable. He asked that they consider not only the immediate interests of the
public but the businesses in the community as well.
Bette Anderson, 7336 Topview Road—Anderson explained that she has waited 38 years
for wonderful restaurants to come to this community. She is not a fan of smoking but she
can choose to sit in a smoke-free area. Anderson said she feels it is unfair to the
businesses if they pass this ordinance. She pointed out that they live in a different world
now and they have different choices.
Michael Anderson, 1556 Sherwood Rd., Shoreview, Owner Green Mill Restaurant—
Anderson explained that as a business owner he knows the restaurant business better than
anyone else.If this smoking ban is enacted, some restaurants and bars will lose business.
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
June 11,2002
Page 5
Duluth is not smoke-free as it has been claimed to be.Restaurants/bars lost money in
their late night hours. The income tax sales for these bars have not been compromised.It
has gone from casual dining to bars.Anderson explained that there is a restaurant like his
six miles up the road. If this ordinance passes,he will Iose 15 percent of sales. Late night
sales will encompass a loss of$90,000 per year.Anderson pointed out that he employs 75
people in the community. Case asked where Anderson got the 15 percent number.
Anderson responded that he did receive that information from an owner of a restaurant.
Duluth is not a smoke-free community,smoking is allowed in bars.
Luse asked where they could gather the information Mr.Anderson is talking about.
Looking at the sales tax,it appears that the Duluth business community was not impacted
by the smoke-free ordinance. However,Anderson indicates that it has simply shifted
from one business to another. Eden Prairie is different in that they are talking about a
smoking ban and the City has no freestanding bars. Butcher asked how high the standards
would have to be for a ventilation system to have healthy air.Wilson Bryce,Engineer,
responded that the design would have to be looked at by a mechanical heating and
ventilating engineer. There are environments in which air quality is controlled,however,
this does mean isolation. Environments would have to adhere to very strict criteria but it
is possible.
Frank Thomas, 9785 Garrison Way—Thomas said he feels there are ways this can be
enforced other than taking the rights away from business owners. Restaurant owners have
invested time and money into their establishments. Thomas said he believes in a
statewide ban.If it is a local ban,people will go to other communities. Also,restaurant
owners have more of an investment than bar owners.Thomas stated that he appreciates
and respects the right to have clean air but he also respects the business owner and they
should be given the opportunity to run their business as they see fit.
Robert Glen,5023 Lincoln Lane,Edina, Champps Restaurant—Glen explained that he
was in the California area when they did the statewide smoking ban.He said this should
be a statewide ban that would put them all on the same playing field. Glen said he
believes he will lose 10 percent of his business that will go to other establishments. If he
does lose 10 percent of his business he will survive.However,he will also have to cut 10
percent of his employees. Glen asked if the City will help those people that will lose their
jobs.
Maggie Melby, 12806 43`a St.,St.Michael,Hops Avado Brands—Melby said she has
received a lot of information this evening and does understand the negative affects to the
businesses.They need to get more information and data so that they can better educate
everyone. She asked if there are any options to the ban. One option would be to look at a
more intense ventilating system as previously discussed.Melby said some businesses
would be willing to spend all of the money necessary to make their ventilating system
more efficient so they can keep people in their establishments.Melby also suggested
looking at time restraints. She indicated that she does not allow smoking in her
establishment during lunch.Those restaurants that want to go smoke-free could and they
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
June 11,2002
Page 6
could notify the City so that they would know which establishments are smoke-free and
those that are not. Melby asked that they all work together.
Gary Chanen, Outback Steakhouse—Chanen explained that he is the managing partner of
the Outback Steakhouse in Eden Prairie.He pointed out that cigarettes are sold at the
Eden Prairie City owned municipal liquor store for$4.70 per pack.Chanen said that as a
business owner he is getting a mixed message in that it is not okay to smoke in his
restaurant but the City can make a profit in selling cigarettes. Also,the City paid$10,000
for a lobbyist to stop grocery stores from selling wine. Perhaps they could provide the
restaurant owners with some money to protect their interests. Chanen said he realizes that
alcohol does not affect people as second-hand smoke does.However,drunk drivers do
affect the City. Chanen stated that this ordinance isn't just about money.The restaurant
owners stand to lose a lot.When Olmstead County adopted a smoke-free ordinance,the
Rochester Outback restaurant's revenue dropped 1.5%,about$100,000. Chanen said he
is sensitive to the issue of second-hand smoke and he proposes that anyone 17 years old
or younger not be allowed in designated smoking areas.He also suggested that all bars
and restaurants in the City not be allowed to sell cigarettes.The City and restaurants
could also agree on a percentage or number of seats allowed in a smoking area.Chanen
pointed out that they are in the hospitality business and not part of the tobacco industry.If
they cannot make it a statewide ban then they need to reach a compromise.
Tola Marts,9201 LaRiver Court—Marts said she has examined this issue and has looked
for information on concerns and questions. She questioned how many Eden Prairie
residents have died from second-hand smoke.She then asked how those rates would
change should this ordinance pass. Marts explained that she is not opposed to the idea of
the ban but they need to do more research.It is her personal opinion that additional •
information is needed prior to adopting such an ordinance.
RECESS
A short recess was called after which the meeting was reconvened at 9:00 p.m.
The following spoke for a smoke-free ordinance
Jean Michaels, 1751 8th ST. SW,Rochester,Olmsted County—Michaels explained that
she was Chair of the Olmsted County Board when their smoke-free ordinance was
adopted.This presented her with an opportunity to be very well educated on this issue.
She really understands the problems with second-hand smoke health issues. She is also
very concerned about the employees of the restaurants and children affected by second-
hand smoke.Michaels stated that their community had 24 opportunities for public input.
They did receive opposition from the hospitality industry.The ban did pass by a 5 to 2
vote.Michaels said they have had no problem with enforcement issues.She explained
that they have approximately 300 non-smoking restaurants.Michaels said it was not an
easy process but has been working well for them.

Cathy Meyer,9427 Clubhouse—Meyer explained that she is the owner of the TLC Café
and Catering. She has learned from what her customers want. They have no smoking at
her establishment. It is a small establishment and they do not serve liquor.Meyer said
they listened to their customers. They did lose one regular customer when they became a
non-smoking establishment. Meyer said that by adopting this ordinance they will also
send a message to the kids of the community that smoking is not okay. She said she feels
that people from surrounding communities will come to Eden Prairie to be able to go to a
smoke-free establishment.Meyer encouraged the Council to not let politics or their
political agenda get in their way.
Fred Nobrega, 1118 Skyline Dr., Rochester—Nobrega said he feels the Council has a
political responsibility to pass this ordinance. Comments have been made regarding a
statewide ban. California started with local communities banning smoking that began the
development of the statewide ordinance.Nobrega said he wanted to reaffirm that there
areonly two methods to deal with second-hand smoke; the first is a proper ventilating
system and second,pass a smoking ban.It has been stated that there would be a 30
percent drop in restaurant revenue. Dozens of studies indicate that that does not take
place.Nobrega stated that from a public health point of view it is important to recognize
that government does protect people from other conditions and it is their regulatory duty.
Kurt Nisi, 5201 Blake Road, Edina,Radiation Oncology—Nisi explained that the
majority of his patients are lung cancer patients. Statistics are important and should be
kept in mind. Approximately 3,000 people die per year of lung cancer from second-hand
smoke.Nisi reported that an average of one to two of his patients a year who have lung
cancer had no other risk factors other than being exposed to second-hand smoke.The
only way to reduce this is through prevention. The Council can take an important step in
helping reduce the number of people who die from lung cancer by passing this ordinance.
Restaurant employees and patrons should not be exposed to dangerous chemicals and
cigarette smoke.Nisi said restricting smoking in public places would show smokers that
smoking is a dangerous habit and the ban would be a constant reminder that smoking is
harmful to themselves and to others.
Romelle Jones,200 Cedar Ave.,Moose Lake—Jones said she is the owner of a restaurant
in Moose Lake and that is the first city in the State to pass an ordinance banning smoking.
Jones reported that the no-smoking ordinance has not affected her business in a negative
way.They still receive compliments on how wonderful it is to eat in a smoke-free
environment.Jones said they have never had a problem with enforcing the ordinance. She
stated that everyone has a right to clean air.
Pastor Rod Anderson, St. Andrews Church, Eden Prairie—Anderson explained that
smoking is a problem for their church during wedding rehearsals and weddings. The
outside ashtrays are heavily used.The second largest problem for this church are the
funerals.He explained that he is with people who are dying from cancer and many times
the cause is from smoking.Anderson said he is here because of the death of the former
Mayor. She had a passion and a cause.Anderson said he feels this community needs to

do this together but someone must do it first. They are talking about lives and it is a
public matter.They are in a unique place at a unique time to make a unique difference.
Anderson encouraged the Council to support the cause of the City's former Mayor Jean
Harris.
Nancy Arieta, 10785 Valley View—Arleta explained that she lives in a senior coop and
she took an informal poll of the 94 units.A large percentage of the residents are in favor
of having a smoke-free Eden Prairie. Tonight's testimony has shown that people don't
want government control.Arieta pointed that the government already controls the
cleanliness of the restaurants.It is a necessity and a government thing to do.
The following spoke against a smoke-free ordinance
James Wilson,9661 Hampshire Lane—Wilson explained that after smoking for 44 years
he has quit and this was a personal decision. He said he feels government should not get
involved in the running of business.Let the business make their own decisions and let
individuals make their on decisions.Wilson said he feels if this ordinance is adopted, it
could lead into other things.
John White,Pickled Parrot Restaurant—White reported that he is the founder and partner
of the Pickled Parrot Restaurant in Eden Prairie. He explained that he has spent a lot of
money in the development of the Pickled Parrot and had he known that the City was
considering this ordinance he would not have chosen to build in Eden Prairie. They chose
this site because they feel this is a fine City and they hoped to provide finer dining in the
City. White explained that they would have to give up to 25 percent of potential business
if this ordinance is adopted.He said he fmds it interesting that the hotels in this City
would be required to have 75 percent of their rooms non-smoking and 25 percent
smoking. White said he made a contract with the City when he moved here and the City
made a contract with him. He indicated that he feels betrayed and the City will be
changing the rules of the game.White said the business owners deserve the same care
and consideration that the hotels will be given.
Kenn Rocklet,516 Clover Leaf Drive,Golden Valley,BPAM—Rocklet explained that he
is the Executive Director of the Bowling Association.He stated that they have been
discussing restaurants as if they are public places.They are private businesses open to the
public.Rocklet said he feels the decision has already been made.If the Council were
really serious about wanting input they would have done what other cities did in the
State; they would have established a task force. This is a political issue. Rocklet asked
where this was going to end.He said the residents should be allowed to vote with their
feet. They have the choice of not going into the facilities that do allow smoking.Rocklet
asked that the Council think about the people who would lose their jobs and possibly
their livelihood.
Amy Borseth, 1605 E. 86th St.,Bloomington,Outback Restaurant—Borseth explained
that she is a non-smoker and has asthma and she chooses to work in a restaurant that has

June 11,2002
Page 9
smoking and non-smoking sections.Borseth said she enjoys working in Eden Prairie and
does not want to have to move to another city because she is unemployed. She stated that
she does most of her business in Eden Prairie because she works in that city and if she
were employed in another city she would not do her business here.Borseth pointed out
that the employees make the choice of where they work and if they felt smoking was a
risk to their health they would choose to work at another establishment.Borseth said
smoking needs to be banned at the state level and not the local level.
Caryl Hansen, 10200 Hilltop Road—Hansen stated that she has lived in Eden Prairie for
36 years and does not smoke and finds it offensive. Hownur, she does not agree that
smoking should be outlawed in restaurants. The majority of people in this City are above
average intelligence and they can make their own choices. Hansen indicated that people
have stated that the Council needs to protect its citizens but what about loud music.
People should then also be protected from hearing loss. Hansen said it was an insult to
her intelligence that she does not know enough to avoid places that are not healthy for
her.
Camille Crespo, 8590 Magnolia—Crespo asked if the smoking ban is passed would the
City discontinue selling cigarettes in their liquor stores. She indicated that she purchased
three packs of cigarettes in Eden Prairie today and the City store was the most expensive.
Crespo said she is a firm believer of the American way and they should have the right to
do what is right and what they want to do.Crespo said she feels the smoking ban would
hurt the community.
EXTEND MEETING TIME
MOTION:Butcher moved, seconded by Luse, to extend the public hearing time to
accommodate all of the speakers. The motion carried, 5-0.
The following spoke against a smoke-free ordinance
Michael Rush stated that he felt the City Council is not holding a public hearing but
rather they have been treated with an unbelievable presentation from professionals
enforcing this issue.This whole evening has been the issue of smokers' rights versus
non-smokers' rights.This is a clear case where one group is trying to press their will on
another group. Rush said it has been stated that smoking is dangerous,we know that. The
question is who is going to make the decision as to whether or not an environment is
allowed to have smoke or an individual is allowed to go into that environment. Rush
explained that the people can vote with their feet.This has nothing to do with rights of
one person or another. Either the City will get involved or it will let the marketplace take
care of it. Rush encouraged the Council to examine the community in which they live.
This is a conservative town.

The following spoke for a smoke-free ordinance
Marie Herman, 7260 Steward Dr.—Herman explained that hers is an emotional appeal.
She has had four family members pass away from cancer.If this ban can prevent one
person from one family from suffering from losing a family member or friend it should
be adopted. ti
Deb Lillegard, 14384 Westridge Dr.—Lillegard said she is a cancer survivor and works
in health care with cancer patients.Eden Prairie is a safe and growing community and she
believes it is the duty of the citizens to keep our community safe.Lillegard indicated that
it is important to realize the dangers of second-hand smoke. She strongly urged the City
of Eden Prairie to hear the majority of the voices of the community asking for a healthy
environment.
Chris Tholkes, 804 Concorida Ave., St.Paul,American Lung Association of MN.—
Tholkes encouraged the Council to pass some significant restrictions on smoking in Eden
Prairie work sites. Second-hand smoke is a serious public health problem.
Stacy Pearson, 13222 Buch Lane—Pearson explained that she did work in a smoking
restaurant and did notice that her health decreased.As a restaurant worker,she did not
have the choice to stay in a smoking or non-smoking section.With regard to ventilation,
Pearson pointed out that it would take 100 square feet of building area per smoker to
dilute the air enough. Pearson presented to the Council statistics regarding ventilation
systems.Pearson said she would like to see this ban enacted in Eden Prairie.
Kathy Iverson, 5410 York Ave.,Edina,Hennepin County Prevention Coalition and
Hennepin Medical Society Alliance—Iverson pointed out that many deaths occur each
year from second-hand smoke. She asked the Council to make an immediate effort to
eliminate exposure to second-hand smoke. They need to protect the health of the people
that work in the establishments.
John Graham, 322 W. St.Louis River Road, Cloquet—Graham explained that he owns
an auto repair shop and golf range in Cloquet.Cloquet does have a smoke-free ordinance
and they have not experienced any negative effects from this ban. Graham pointed out
that tobacco does not control Cloquet's economy.
Renee Whisnant, 9109 Terra Verde Trail—Whisnant stated that tobacco smoke is
poisonous and she questioned why they are letting people poison their air. Each year
65,000 people die because of second-hand smoke.As a community,they have an
obligation to prevent this deadly exposure. This will also give the smokers in the
community the support to quit smoking.
JoAnn Wroblewski,9060 Cedar Forest Road—Wroblewski said she works in a smoke
free workplace and everyone loves it.This is a great opportunity and the City could
market it.If this smoking ban is adopted Eden Prairie would be the place to be.
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
June II,2002
Page 11
Wroblewski said she fully supports adoption of this ordinance and encourages the
Council to do the same.
Peggy Aguilar, 10108 Mead Lane—Aguilar indicated that she is in support of the smoke-
free ordinance primarily because of the health issues. She truly believes this is something
she can do to prevent her chances of getting lung cancer and stated that her f .mily
supports this issue as well.
Leslie Ellis,10860 Forestview Circle,—Ellis stated that he is involved in the organization
. Clean Air on the Prairie. They have heard many arguments both for and against the
proposed nor'-smoking ordinance but the fact remains that second-hand tobacco smoke is
hazardous to our health. Ellis pointed out that poison toxic materials in tobacco smoke
shows up in blood streams of non-smokers in the work place. It has been suggested by
the restaurant industry that we should reach a compromise and that restaurants should be
allowed to enclose a smoking area for smoking customers.Ellis explained that research
has shown that ventilation required to remove nicotine concentration would result in an
air velocity rate of a tornado. Ellis said they must take drastic measures now to help rid
the City's public places and work places of tobacco smoke. If they don't act now then our
children and their children will pay the price with health and dollars for years to come.
Paul Wilson, 1204 5th St.,Rochester—Wilson stated that he wanted to respond to two
issues. The first is the issue of a referendum. Counties cannot have referendums and the
City of Rochester did not vote 7-0 against a smoking ban and they did not table a city
smoking ban. They did nothing,they did not act. Under State statute, county boards
basically serve as the Board of Health within their jurisdiction.Wilson said he feels it is
not a stretch for any government body to look at safety concerns or issues and it is not at
all improper to investigate a no-smoking ordinance. This is a decision this Council will
have to make and it is not an easy decision. This is not an issue of your right to smoke,it
is a responsibility. The issue is responsibility and how we as a society will handle second-
hand smoke.
Pete Dehnel,6700 Cornelia Dr.—Dehnel strongly encouraged the Council to adopt the
proposed ordinance and to take the opportunity now to help save the lives of people who
live or work in Eden Prairie. This ordinance is the most effective way to protect non-
smokers in the community. The Council is in a position of leadership and this is a
wonderful opportunity to impact the health of the residents.
Steve O'Neal,228 S. 19th Ave.,Duluth—O'Neal said he appreciates the process the
Council has developed in considering this Ordinance. He wanted to clear up some
misstatements regarding Duluth's process.There was only one referendum and two
ordinances passed.After the second ordinance was passed opposition did collect
signatures. Two questions were placed on the ballot and both passed by over 61%.
O'Neal said with respect to restaurants closing because of the smoking ban, since the
original ordinance and referendum passed they have had several new restaurants open.
An ordinance was passed that allows bar/restaurants to stay open until 3:00 a.m.They are

constantly in competition with their sister city in Superior.
Chelsea Anderson,9309 Cedar Forest Road—Chelsea said she looks forward to the
possible impact of this ordinance.They will be enhancing the lives of the people in the
community and they appreciate the efforts the people have taken to make work places
smoke-free. ti
Karen Nordstrom, 9123 Forest Hills Circle,Bloomington—Karen pointed out that
surrounding communities have adopted policies making parks smoke-free. She feels that
should Eden Prairie adopt this ordinance Bloomington will be following.Karen said she
appreciates the efforts of the City of Eden Prairie.
Ann Deshler,6621 Galway Drive—Deshler explained that she is an oncology nurse and
stated that a lot of people have no clue of the effects of second-hand smoke.It is clearly a
health issue. Deshler said she and her family have made the choice to discontinue
patronizing establishments that allow smoking. She asked that the Council adopt the
proposed ordinance.

1. Proposed Smoke-Free Air Ordinance
Mayor Tyra-Lukens gave a review of the history of discussion on
development of an ordinance thus far. She said information to inform
citizens about this issue has been distributed and received via an interactive
web forum,published notices in newspapers, TV and radio coverage, e-
mails,phone calls,and face-to-face opinions with Council. She wanted to
clarify that although there are allegations a decision has been made,that is
not the case. A sample ordinance has been drafted,but no decision made.
She requested discussion on whether the Council wants to move forward at
this time.
Mosman said she thinks a lot of feedback has been given and the medical
part of it is well documented,but we will do what we can to look at helping
the restaurant owners overcome economic unfairness.She said she would
like to go ahead with an ordinance.
Butcher said she wants to move forward with an ordinance that involves
potential for compromise with the business community—a compromise
where we can provide some positive health environment to patrons of
restaurants,but figure out a way to work with the restaurants.
Case said it's time to take the lead and pass a ban.He said he can support a
ban that involves some type of safety net for bar-type restaurants and
businesses.He said a lot more data is needed,but there is a workable
compromise.He said his goal is not to remove all smoke from bars,but to
keep it negligible in smoke-free areas.
Luse said it's as much a political issue as it is a health issue and read the
following prepared statement:
"Eden Prairie Smoking Ban,Survey Research—David Luse position
CITY COUNCIL MEETING
June 18,2002
Page 12
I am a reluctant supporter of a ban on smoking in public places in Eden
Prairie. But before making any decision,I would like to see our citizens' views
more accurately represented through scientific public-opinion research.
In an issue with so many conflicting interests—personal health,the
economic health of a community,personal freedoms,balancing majority and
minority views,the role of local versus state government—I wilt always err on
the side of health and safety. That's why I would support a ban.But I am a
reluctant supporter because what I was afraid would happen is now happening
—our community has become a battlefield for contending parties outside of
Eden Prairie and the issues are being obscured by lobbying campaigns. The
issues we're hearing about most, through organized efforts,are health or
economics, while important viewpoints cn individual rights and the role of
government aren't heard as easily.
I would like more clarity about what our citizens think and want before
we make a decision on this smoking ban.I believe we should commission solid
public-opinion research by an independent firm on what Eden Prairie residents
want. This could be completed in a matter of weeks, or months at most, and we
have no need to rush to judgment here.
A scientifically drawn sample cannot be influenced by lobbying
campaigns that are more"astroturf"than grass roots. The results cannot be
influenced by packing a town meeting with supporters or sending the City
Council form letters from outside the community.
I do not want to put off a tough decision. We will all have to make that
tough decision—that's our job. And I believe we should make that decision
once,and not leave open the confusing possibility of reconsideration. But I do
want to make the decision with as much information as possible. Our city
attorney has said we cannot hold a referendum on this issue,but we can do
some research. The results won't automatically determine how we vote,
because it's still our responsibility to weigh all the factors involved. But we'll
make a better decision with better information.
The questions asked of a representative sample of Eden Prairie
residents should be simple and clear. Should we ban smoking in public places
or not?If we're looking for workable compromise,at most we could ask if
people would support a window of time where smoking would be allowed,a
few late-evening hours on weekends in bars.We should be careful not to
confuse the issue with sunset provisions and phase-ins and phase-outs.
Let's take the time to get this right."
Tyra-Lukens said an analysis that was done of speakers at the June 11
meeting showed there were an equal number of proponents from within and
outside Eden Prairie; and there were an equal number of opponents that
were within and outside Eden Prairie,so both sides had people outside the
community. However,there were more proponents living within Eden
Prairie than there were presenters that were opposed to the ordinance. She
said there is also an argument to be made that restaurant sales and liquor
sales may increase at these restaurants.
Concerning the issue that the Council is `moving too fast,' Tyra-Lukens
said she does not think we're rushing it at all because it's an issue that's
CITY COUNCIL MEETING
June 18,2002
Page 13
been out there for a long time and discussed in many communities
throughout the United States already. It's not a surprise. So,at this point,
Tyra-Lukens said it sounds like we have five people who would be willing
to move forward with the sample ordinance.
Butcher said she would like to postpone discussing details of/an ordinance
until in a workshop environment.
Luse asked if Council would entertain a public opinion poll of an ordinance
to help shape the ordinance. Case said a survey would not lead us into a
compromise of all the details of an ordinance.
Butcher said we need to talk about a process to follow, come up with a
timeframe, then re-evaluate it and put it on the website to let everyone
know.
Mosman said doing a survey would depend on who writes the questions.
She said she doesn't know if we'd get a true read with a survey. She said
she would not want to put it off with a survey and we need to take it on with
the input we have.
Case said he would weigh against a survey; it would be meaningless data in
the context of the question asked that would not help to move forward. He
said his decision on this issue would be based on the trust people have
• placed on him as a leader. He said he's ready to talk and suggested layout of
a timetable tonight.
Tyra-Lukens read a memo from Joe Stoebner of the Eden Prairie Chamber
of Commerce who proposed creating a three-person committee representing
Eden Prairie restaurant and bar owners.He offered to have this committee
look at the proposed ordinance and make suggestions as to what restrictions
the business community may be able to accept and make recommendations
for areas of change if they felt these areas would adversely affect the
restaurants and bars.
Luse noted that any compromise would need to be defined specifically.
Council agreed to set a workshop July 2,2002 at 4 p.m. Tyra-Lukens said
questions will be submitted to Staff about specific issues and those
questions will be answered in the context of the workshop. She said we will
try to construct an ordinance from the ground up using this as a framework,
and whenever we get to an issue where there's not consensus,we will move
to the next one so that we can get to the point where we have some sort of
order with a few things that still need to be addressed. She said whatever
the Chamber committee brings forth will be looked at on an advisory level
just as we'd get advice from anybody in the process.
Mosman encouraged the Chamber to expedite their process.
CITY COUNCIL MEETING
June 18,2002

Tyra-Lukens stated there is a level of compromise that everybody has
concerning this issue and we need to go into it using a consensus building
process.
Neal asked that as we get ready for the workshop, all questions be
submitted to him to make sure they'll be routed to the correct Staff person.

_ Mayor Tyra-Lukens suggested that discussion of the ordinance was still possible since no
formal actions were to be taken on at this Workshop. Luse stated again that he would not _�`
participate in any discussion of an ordinance until he is assured there is no issue of ``
legality; He said he was excusing himself from the Workshop and portions of the Open
Forum dealing with the smoking ordinance, and would rejoin the Council at 6:50 in the

Councilmember Case said that in all of his years on the Council,"the buck has always
legally*stopped with the City Attorney." He asked, since Rosow indicated the discussion
Could.take place,why this instance should be any different. He said it seemed as if Luse
• was holding the advice of his personal attorney at a higher value than the City Attorney's.
Case agreed with Tyra-Lukens that the point at which Luse might reasonably recuse
himself would be when action is actually taken on an ordinance. •
•
Luse said he had been told the City could not hold a referendum_on a smoking ordinance,
and the Council had rejected his idea of gathering scientific data on which to base a
decision. Luse then asked Rosow if he had read the actual MPAAT ruling.-'Rosow said
: - he had read news accounts of the ruling. Councilmember Butcher said she was
concerned that the Council had not had a chance to read the ruling. Case said he wished
Luse had called the Mayor or City Manager to convey his concerns before the meeting.
He said Luse's actions seemed theatrical to him.
Mayor Tyra-Lukens suggested the Council take a short recess during which a copy of the
ruling could be obtained from the Internet.Rosow could review the ruling and report on it
to the Council after the recess.

Councilmember Butcher said she questioned whether or not the fact that MPAAT money

Rosow said he did not believe there was a legal basis to prevent the council from
discussing or enacting an ordinance. He said,`Being lobbied,.doesn't incapacitate you as

Luse reiterated that he was concerned about whether Or not the City could be sued,and he

• delayed any discussion on a smoking ordinance until after the MPAAT ruling was
received. Mayor Tyra-Lukens noted that the Council passes ordinances on a regular basis
regardless of the fact that they could be sued for any one of these actions.kf

generally takes about six weeks to get a response.:Rosow also noted that the last time the
• City had sought an opinion from the Attorney General's office, they were disappointed
when the Attorney General declined comment based on the assertion that not enough
..facts were submitted. .Rosow,said,it might be:more prudent to reach a consensus on a
• - proposed ordinance and then submit,it for an opinion. Rosow said his office would also
. need to gather any available information on the money spent lobbying for an ordinance in
Eden.Prairie. Case said he was comfortable with submitting whatever ordinance the
Council agrees on to the Attorney General for review..Luse asked how it would_look to
• the people of Eden Prairie if the Council was unwilling to wait six weeks fora AAttorney
General's opinion before going forward•in discussions on the ordinance.
•
Mayor Tyra-Lukens suggested submitting the draft ordinance as it stands and waiting to
'' '1 see what sort of opinion the Attorney General returns. If the Attorney General raises no
• objections to the more restrictive version of the ordinance,the Council would then be
assured that a less restrictive(compromise) ordinance would be acceptable. Tyra-Lukens
pointed out that this would mean tabling discussion of an ordinance until at least the
second meeting in August. Council agreed to direct the City Attorney to request an
Attorney General's opinion. Tyra-Lukens asked Luse if he would be willing to discuss
an ordinance if the Attorney General's opinion indicates there is no legal reason not to do
so, Luse said he would be willing•to discuss the ordinance at that point..

A. PROPOSED SMOKING ORDINANCE
1. *Ken Rockier
Rockier stated he does not live in Eden Prairie,but represents the
Professional Bowlers Association. He referred to the recent court ruling
on MPAATs use of funds for lobbying for local smoking ordinances. He
read a detailed list of lobbying activities by the American Cancer Society
(with funding from MPAAT)in Eden Prairie. He said that in light of the
recent court ruling,spending money in this way was"wrong and illegal"

He said the smoking ordinance was brought to the Councilby;`CleanAir-:;• •
on the Prairie,"a local group Rockier'says is supported by the American.
Cancer Society. He asked why,if second-hand smoke is so harmful,did it
� y
take money from the American Cancer Society and MPAAT to bring the
issue before the Council. Rosow asked Rockier for documentation on the
money spent by MPAAT for lobbying., Rockier said he would try to

XL REPORTS OF ADVISORY BOARDS &COMMISSIONS
XII. APPOINTMENTS
A. APPOINTMENTS TO THE ARTS AND CULTURE COMMISSION
Neal stated that in March of 2002,five residents were appointed to the Arts&Cultural
Commission which has a 5 to 7 membership range. At the August Arts&Cultural
Commission meeting Freinde Mills announced that she and her family wilj be moving
to Minnetonka. Therefore,she has resigned her position on the Commission.
He said staff sent an email to resident artists and art contacts in Eden Prairie to notify
them of the opening. Three individuals applied for the commission. After reviewing
the applications, staff recommends that all three be appointed to the commission,
thereby bringing the commission to'a full seven members.
Neal said all three applicants have backgrounds and interests in the arts as well as
being involved in the government process, and staff also believes that each one has
strengths they could provide the commission. Having a seven member commission
will also allow us to spread out the work more, better reach the public, and receive
more feedback and information from different view points.
He said Staff commends that Todd Persteiner be appointed to serve out Freinde Mills'
term, which would be held until 2005. Doug White and Steve Mosow would be
appointed to fill the 2003 and the 2004 terms. This would.give us two one-year
members,three two-year members,and two three-year members.
MOTION: Butcher moved to appoint to the Arts & Culture Commission Todd
Persteiner for a term to expire 3/31/2005; Steve Mosow for a term to expire
3/31/2004; and Doug White for a term to expire 3/31/2003. Seconded by Case,
motion carried 4-0.

XIII. REPORTS OF OFFICERS
A. REPORTS OF COUNCILMEMBERS
1. Discussion on the sample Smoke-Free Air Ordinance posted on the City's
website.
Case said the sample ordinance on the website has caused needless confusion
and he thinks it best to pull it and note there that it never was a proposed
ordinance,that it was simply a sample and Council is now in the stages of
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
September 3,2002
Page 10 _
drafting their own ordinance.In addition,Case noted that the issue of the
ordinance has always been an indoor air quality employee issue, and did not
include prohibiting smoking in outdoor areas.
Mosman supported taking the sample ordinance off the website and noted that
the Chamber quoted parts of the sample ordinance in information it sent out,
therefore creating a misunderstanding on their part also.
Case said he wants to let the public know that there does not yet appear to be a
consensus among Councilmembers on the issue.
Butcher suggested Neal contact the Chamber and let them know that Council
found it to be a bit misleading. She agreed that there is no sense of consensus
on this issue.
2. Update on Building Assets Together meeting.
Mosman said she will be the Council designee to go to the Building Assets
Together meeting. She said an assets survey was conducted of all 6th and 9th
graders and some 10`h, 11t'and 12th graders. She said they're looking at how
to fund another asset survey which shows a lot about students because the
population does change so much. She said they're looking at grants as well as
businesses and churches to be involved, and it may involve looking at a link to
the Eden Prairie website. She said a there will be a presentation this fall.
B. REPORT OF CITY MANAGER
1. Update of City's Strategic Plan
Neal stated the best time for updating the Strategic Plan would be after the
upcoming elections. They are looking in the January-February time period to
take a Council retreat to establish the plan.
2. Fire Chief Appointment
Neal announced the appointment of George Esbensen as the City's new fire
chief.He said he is currently assistant chief currently and will be Eden
Prairie's first career fire chief,and will start September 9. He said the
announcement was warmly received last week by the firefighters.
3. Public Safety Department
Neal advised the Council he was previously considering making
organizational changes to the Public Safety department,including establishing
a stand-alone Police Department and stand-alone Fire Department.He said
after talking about it with management staff,that is the direction that will be
taken.He said the timing is right because of the new fire chief appointment
and also the City will have a new police chief within 90 days.

I. CALL MEETING TO ORDER
Mayor Tyra-Lukens called the meeting to order at 5:30 p.m.
II. APPROVAL OF AGENDA
III. PROPOSED SMOKING ORDINANCE
Mayor Tyra-Lukens reviewed the history of the second-hand smoke ordinance
discussion. She said Council discussion began at the April 16 Council Meeting when a
citizen's group, Clean Air on the Prairie,presented a petition containing more than a
thousand signatures calling for restrictions on second-hand smoke. Mayor Tyra-Lukens
said this was the first time in her eight years on the Council she had-received a petition
• with so many signatures. The closest she could recall contained 200 signatures, at most.
In light of the petition,she said the Council felt a duty to address the issue. She is
distressed by those who suggest the Council should never have addressed the issue of
regulating second hand smoke,to begin with. Tyra-Lukens expressed her admiration for
the entire Council for having the courage to take on this issue. She thanked the Council
for their hard work and commitment to openness of process. She said the Council has
.held special meetings,received numerous e-mails,letters, and phone calls on the topic.
She feels the thoughts of each Councilmember have gone through an evolution, and it is
time to move forward.
Mayor Tyra-Lukens suggested they start the discussion by reviewing the portions of the
hypothetical ordinance on which there seems to be consensus. She asked whether the
others agreed that they were talking about regulating indoor air quality only. Luse said
that even the American Cancer Society's data does not indicate there are negative effects
of second-hand smoke outdoors,so he would like to stick to discussing indoor settings.
Tyra-Lukens asked if that would include outdoor eating spaces.

Council Worl&hop/Fonun -
September 17,2002
Councilmember Butcher said she would like to review some definitions before
proceeding. She asked Rosow for clarification on what is considered a"public place." - `5'
Rosow said his definition of"public"was based on that concepts set forth in the
Minnesota Clean Indoor Air Act.Under this definition anyplace the public is "invited
into"is considered public. Butcher said she considers a"public place"to mean that
which is owned by everyone, i.e.,land and buildings owned by the City or other
governmental entity. Cbuncilmember Case said he liked Butcher's distinction.
kf
Councilmember Luse asked the other Councilmembers to remember that he is just.the''
messenger,but that they must be very careful about what they are proposing=so would
they ban smoking on highways,too, since they are technically public property? Case said
he believed they were talking only about indoor air quality. Butcher said they may want
to include places like outdoor park pavilions and amphitheatres. Tyra-Lukens asked if
smoking out of doors at factories,offices, etc.,would be allowed. All agreed that
smoking outside of buildings and in vehicles would be acceptable.
Tyra-Lukens asked if the Councilmembers supported the 75%non-smoking/25°o
smoking ratio for hotel rooms called for in the hypothetical ordinance. She noted this is
pretty much already the business standard. Case said he thinks it is worthwhile for the
Council to codify what is already common practice,to send a message about what they
are trying to do. Butcher said she is not comfortable regulating what hotels do in relation
to smoking. She would rather offer a set of guidelines,under which compliance would
' be voluntary. She said enforcement of regulations would be very difficult, and she thinks
the marketplace should drive what hotels do,not the government. Case said that although
he thinks smoking regulation should be taken care of at the state level,passing an
ordinance at the City-level will help move the State in this direction.
City Attorney Rosow said that it is not appropriate to include guidelines in an ordinance.
The Council could include regulations in an ordinance and pass an accompanying
resolution that would list guidelines. Case said the Council may want to consider
forming a task force to draw up guidelines and facilitate implementation. •
Rosow said the term"private vehicles"should be clarified. Would a truck owned by a •
conglomeration and driven by an employee be considered private or public? Tyra-
Lukens said she would consider these exempt. Luse suggested making it as simple as .
possible—regulation should not apply to vehicles unless they are inside a building(i.e.,in
a garage.) Rosow said he would.strike the word"private."
Tyra-Lukens said it seems that most companies are already limiting smoking to outside
areas or rooms with separate HVAC systems. Butcher asked Rosow for a quick overview
of the Minnesota Clean Indoor Air Act. Rosow said the act prohibits smoking inside
buildings except in designated areas. The designated areas are set by the proprietor and
are required only to use existing barriers.
Case said he has heard from hundreds of people,most of whom say they want to get
away from second-hand smoke. However,they are asking that the Council not take any0
action that will hurt business. Case said his goal is to increase indoor air gwility without
harming businesses. He said he spoke to a doctor at Abbott Northwestern Hospital. The
Council Workshop/Forum
September 17,2002
doctor indicated there are so many people smoking outside the hospital entrances,he
feels it would be better to provide a separate room for them.Then others would not have
to endure the second-hand smoke to get in the doors. Case said he could support an
ordinance that would provide for indoor smoking areas as long as they have separate
HVAC systems. He reiterated that he felt the Council's mandate was to craft a symbolic
ordinance with as much substance as the people of Eden Prairie want. Butcher said
maybe a guideline is more in line with what residents want—a one-size-fits-all ordinance
may not be productive. Councilmember Luse said he's had more than 4,0@0 e-mails,
letters and phone calls on the proposed smoking ordinance. He says he believes he has-
been consistent in his commentary on having difficulty with the issue because there is no
clear consensus. He said he believes he was illegally lobbied by Isis Stark in the study of
his home on April 12,2002.
Luse asked how the Council proposes to go to the residents with an ordinance that is
.crystal clear when the conversation has come down to what will be legal versus what will
be suggested. He said he does not see a decisive conclusion. Beyond a lack of resources
to police an ordinance,Luse asked how the Council expects to go to the community with
a modified smoking ban when they were told in April that the facts warrant a 100%ban.
Tyra-Lukens said she would like to pull the Council back-to the issue at hand. Luse
asked how the Council proposes to police what is currently legal(smoking)in private
buildings. He said he was told by the same people who illegally had lobbied him that
HVAC systems do not do enough to protect others from second-hand smoke. Tyra-
Lukens asked if Luse was proposing to ban smoking from all indoor areas. Luse said he
was just cautioning the Council to be very clear, and take the time to really define things.
Mosman said that in relation to factories,the main consideration is to protect non-
smokers from second-hand smoke, and using separate ventilation systems may be the
most effective way to do this. Case said he would be okay with banning smoking inside
• all businesses,but he could also support separate rooms with separate HVAC systems as
an incremental step toward,eliminating second-hand smoke. Councilmember Mosman
agreed.
Luse said that at the end of the day the majority of residents will define the issue based on
how it affects their pocketbooks. If banning smoking will cost the community money in
terms of tax revenues,possibly in the millions of dollars,he does not believe they will
support an ordinance. Case said that type of obfuscation was not helpful,that referring to
millions of dollars in lost taxes ignores the fact that adverse health effects of second-hand
smoke cost Minnesotans billions of dollars.
Case asked if the Council could continue the Workshop after the regular Council.Meeting
since it was clear they would not reach a consensus in the time remaining. Rosow said
the Council could continue the Workshop after the regular meeting.

V. OPEN FORUM (Scheduled participants,6:30-6:50 p.m)
4'5
Council Worlshop/Fonmt
September 17,2002
A.- PAUL WENDORFF—SMOKING ORDINANCE
Mr.Wendorff said he is an 18-year resident of Eden Prairie,and that he does not
represent any group. He said he expressed his concerns in July about potential
• conflicts of interest on the Council regarding a proposed smoking ordinance.
Since then,he has attended meetings with City staff,the Attorney General, and
Eden Prairie residents. Wendorff referred Council to a request he faxed earlier in
the day requesting a task force to investigate the conduct of the Edell Prairie City
• Council regarding the proposed smoking ban ordinance.-Wendorff gave a 50-page
document outlining the basis for his request to City Manager Neal. Wendorff's
concerns included what he called illegal MPAAT lobbying of Councilmembers.
Mayor Tyra-Lukens asked City Attorney Rosow to comment on Wendorff s
request. Rosow said using the term"illegal"in relation to MPAAT's activities is
misleading. A distinction should be made between illegal activity and something
that should not have ideally been done.
•
Councilmember Luse said he had concerns about MPAAT going back td April 16.
He said that wrongdoing is a matter of perception as it relates to public service.
The Council must make sure everything it does is done properly. Even-if
something is not illegal,the Council has to deal with the matter of perception.
Councilmember Case said every resident has the right to raise individual
concerns, as Mr.Wendorff has done. However,the Council needs to remember
that Wendorrf is just one individual, and represents only himself. He said the . 4 .
Council should carefully consider how to respond to his proposal,which would be
costly to implement. Case said to interrupt the process the Council has begun
with respect to a smoking ordinance would constitute a gross misspending of
funds. Case said it is his understanding that if Wendorrf wishes to pursue his
concerns,he can file a court case. He said the Council would have to look to the
City Attorney for counsel on the issue. Mayor Tyra-Lukens recommended adding
the issue to the regular meeting agenda so they could move on to the next speaker.
• B. TOM DAY—MINNESOTA RESTAURANT ASSOCIATION
Mayor Tyra-Lukens said Mr.Day had informed the City Manager's Office he
would be unable to attend the Forum.
C. GARY CHANEN—OUTBACK STEAKHOUSE
Mr. Chanen said he is a managing partner of Outback Steakhouse in Eden Prairie.
He said he was disturbed by an article in the previous week's Eden Prairie News.
He said restaurant owners have invested millions of dollars in Eden Prairie, and it
is offensive to be accused of not being concerned about public health. He asked
what the City is doing for restaurants and said telling restaurants what to do now
is unacceptable. He said the Mayor's comment in the article regarding her belief
that large numbers in the community want smoke-free restaurants was offensive.
Chanen said he feels the Mayor is attempting to blacklist some restaurants, even
though they are already moving toward non-smoking on their own. He said he =`Y
has heard rumors of the City taking cigarette sales out of the liquor stores,which
he called"a petty effort." He asked the Council to"stop a runaway train—stop

and a manufacturing company,both opposing a smoking ban. . -- -

VI. OPEN PODIUM(Unscheduled participants,6:50-7:00 p.m.)
Eden Prairie High School student Stacy Beritz read a letter she wrote in support of a
smoking ban.
•
Kathy Paltz,an Eden Prairie resident and former smoker,said if she had known how
unhealthy second-hand smoke was she never would have exposed her children to it. She
asked the Council to approve a second-hand smoke ordinance. •
Pat,resident of Bloomington, said she has to carry oxygen with her for medical reasons.
She said she realizes her health problems are a result of her own smoking,but her mother
also suffered from emphysema even though she never snioked.Pat said she cannot go
into most Eden Prairie restaurants because smoking is allowed. She would like to see
restaurant environments free of smoke. .•
•
Cindy Schultz,Eden Prairie resident, said she supports a smoking ordinance because it •
will help save lives. She is concerned about talk of a compromise ordinance, and asked
the Council to stand firm.
III. PROPOSED SMOKING ORDINANCE(continued from before regular Council
:;1' Meeting)
•
Mayor Tyra-Lukens reconvened the Workshop at 9:25 p.m.
Tyra-Lukens suggested picking up the discussion at smoking in factories and
manufacturing facilities. Councilmember Butcher asked to make a couple of statements
before continuing the discussion. She said the Councilmembers' oath says they will
remain independent of thought until all information is gathered on an issue. She had -
gotten a letter from the Chamber of Commerce just last Friday,stating that they are
against a smoking ordinance.-In light of this,Butcher said she would like to.ask the .
••
Council to develop a resolution asking the state to review the second-hand smoke issue in
relation to the Minnesota Clean Indoor Air Act.Butcher stated that she is also in favor of
voluntary guidelines rather than legal regulations. •Case said he would like to try to figure
• out where points of consensus exist among the Councilmembers. He said it appears that
two Councilmembers would vote against even a compromise ordinance. If the Council
passes an ordinance with only a 3-2 vote,he asked what message that would convey to
the community. Case said that he liked the Eden Prairie School District's policy of no-
smoking on school grounds. He felt the City could comfortably pass a similar policy for
government-owned properties.
He said his goal still is to not have smoking anywhere in the state,but that the Council
will be doing themselves and the community a disservice if they pass a ban that is viewed
negatively by surrounding communities. He thinks it might be more effective to"take
control of what we can control,and get away from trying to regulate private business." ---
Case said he would like to pledge the Council to continue to carry the flag to eliminate

second-hand smoke. He said Councilmembers could promote the cause to other cities. _
He envisions 20 mayors marching into St.Paul demanding action.
Butcher said.28 communities have already written to the State asking them to address the
issue of second-hand smoke. She said the issue is too confusing to address on a local
level, and action must take place on a comprehensive, statewide basis. Mayor Tyra-
Lukens said Butcher presented some compelling reasons to deal with the second-hand •
smoke issue on an incentive basis. She said she agrees the worst thing tho Council could
do would be to pass an ordinance that is disrespected and disregarded. Though her goal
would be for everywhere to be smoke-free, she asked if it would be fair to "sacrifice the
City"in quest of a local ordinance. However,she said she is not convinced sending a
resolution to the State would be effective, and she would not be satisfied with only a set
of guidelines. She suggested holding a candidate forum before the upcoming election to
find out where legislative candidates stand on the issue.
Case said he has spoken with members of the Chamber and visited nine or 10 Eden
Prairie restaurants. He believes there is a lot of room for restaurants to do wharis right •
and still make money. He said this issue would be perfect for a task force that would
focus on the positive—how to help bring about incremental changes in second-hand
smoke exposure. Councilmember Mosman said that although she is no medical expert,
she feels she has to rely on the data presented by medical experts that second-hand smoke
is detrimental to health. If this is true,they are not doing their duty as Councilmembers if
they pass a weak ordinance. She pointed out that the Attorney General indicated it was .
within the authority of the Council to pass an ordinance.
Butcher said that while all of the Councilmembers agree that smoking is bad,there are a
lot of things that are unhealthy that the Council doesn't regulate. She said individual
rights and the right to choose are issues as well. Individuals still have a choice of
whether or not to go into a place that allows smoking. She said a good start would be to
ban smoking on all publicly-owned properties, even out-of-doors. She said.she has
always been in favor of forming a task force that would include health organisations and
local businesses and would develop incentive based initiatives. This task force could
also draft a resolution for the City to send to the State. Councilmembers could also take
the issue to the MLC and urge them to explore options. Case said if the Council's actions
don't include regulations,he would at least like to develop a list of"hopes"for directions
in which the City would like restaurants and businesses to move in relation to second-
. 'hand smoke. One goal could be for smoke-free lunch times in restaurants throughout the
City. Case said any goals the Council establishes must be monitored over time. Case
also suggested"running a major survey"of the community on the issue. He said the task -
force could gather data over a year and then readdress the issue.
Tyra-Lukens asked if the other Councilmembers had an idea of what measures
restaurants in town might support. She feels it is important to have the restaurants on
board with whatever a task force might propose. She said she would ultimately want to
see smoke-free family dinner time in restaurants in addition to lunch hours. Case
suggested offering incentives,such as free advertising,for restaurants that go smoke-free.
Tyra-Lukens said she liked the concept of trial periods, after which a review would take
Council Workshop/Forum
September 17,2002
r place. Butcher said she would not be comfortable with any type of regulation that was
ti ,•.j not first put before a task force and/or the Chamber. -
Councilmember Mosman said she was concerned about bumping the issue up to the State
level since that is where the majority of tobacco industry anti-regulation money is spent.
Councilmember Luse said he felt a lot of progress had been made,but he cautioned the
Council that it sounded like they were going back to square one with the idea of
• appointing a task force. He said no one is going to be happy and.he doesn't believe it
will"have a whole lot of meat to it"unless actions are based on what constituents want
and what is in their best interest He asked the Council to be cautious about legal
exposure. He said as an American he tends to err on the side of freedom and individual
rights. As an appointed Councilmember he errs on the side of believing that the issue is
just too close to call. He does not see a mandate. He asked all sides to tone down the
rhetoric and issued a challenge to all in this town to neutralise the negativity stemming
• from this issue. Case said he was not sure of David's position,that he has indicated he
would like to err on the side of health,individual rights,and what the majority of people
want Luse said he believed he had been crystal clear. He feels it is his responsibility to•
err on the side of the majority,but he has yet to hear any hard numbers. Case said that •
his impression is that the majority of people want a smoking ban that won't have any
negative effects.
Butcher said she seemed to be hearing some agreement on a ban on smoking in publicly-
owned places. Tyra-Lukens and Luse said they could support such a ban. Case said he
just wanted to say a few words about Luse's assertion that the Council hadgone back to
step one with the suggestion of forming a task force. He said he believed that the task
force that is being discussed today is very different from the one proposed in April.
Tyra-Lukens said she was wary of relying on statistics. Surveys are not necessarily
scientific, and the results depend largely on what and how questions are asked.
Rosow said he wanted to clarify the Council's direction based on the evening's
discussion. His understanding was that they wished to draft an ordinance to ban smoking
in all publicly owned spaces,both indoors and outdoors. By publicly owned,they meant
everything owned by a government entity,not just the City. Case said he would also like •
staff to explore the possibility of a task force charter. Luse suggested that one of the most
important tasks is to communicate to the business community what the Council will not
be doing—namely regulating smoking at private businesses.
The Council agreed they would hold further discussions on how to proceed at the October
1,2002,Workshop at 4:00 p.m. in the Heritage Rooms.

Thomas Briant, Esq.
15560 Boulder Point Road
Eden Prairie, MN 55347
Dear Mr. Briant:
I have received and reviewed the materials you provided with your May 10, 2002 letter. In
your letter, you agree with me that Mayor Nancy Tyra-Lukens may not have a personal financial
interest in the adoption of a smoking ban.You state,"if that is the case,the Mayor would not have
a conflict of interest based on a financial interest."You quote from a League of Minnesota Cities
memo regarding self interest in non-contract matters.The League's memo refers to council decisions
on zoning, local improvements and the issuances of licenses.As you will see in the materials that
the City provides to Boards and Commissions on the matter of conflict of interest, there is a
discussion of Conflict of Interest in Non-Contract Situations of public officials.
The most important case in this area is Lenz v.Coon Creek Watershed District, 153 N.W.2d
209 (Minn. S.Ct. 1967). The Lenz court set out five factors that should be considered in making a
determination.The situation in Lenz involved a question of whether a decision of the district should
be set aside because the chairman and four of the managers owned land affected and b'enefitted by
a proposed improvement.In other words,the court was concerned with whether the chairman and
managers had a financial interest in the matter being voted upon. Similarly,in Tp.Bd.of Lake Val.
Tpl..Traverse Ctv. v. Lewis,234 N.W.2d 815 (Minn. S.Ct. 1975), the court considered whether a
supervisor of a town board should be disqualified in voting on the establishment of a road as a result
of the supervisor's decision to circulate a petition regarding the road.The court noted there was no
evidence that the supervisor had any pecuniary interest in the establishment of the road and applying
the Lenz analysis found that the member was not disqualified.Finally,in E.T.O., Inc.,v.Town of
Marion,375 N.W.2d 815(S.Ct.Minn. 1985),the Supreme Court determined that a town supervisor
was disqualified from voting on a renewal of liquor license where the supervisor had previously

Thomas Briant

Page 2
stated that his property would be devalued in the amount of$100,000 by issuance of the liquor
license.While not falling within the prohibitions of Minnesota Statutes 471.87 or 412°311 because
the matter did not involve a contract,the Court found disqualification because of a personal financial
interest.
The facts you set forth,even taken at their face value,do not in my opinion support the legal
conclusion that the Mayor is disqualified from taking part in the discussion and voting on an
ordinance with respect to smoking. There is no showing of a personal financial interest.
Further, your statements that the American Cancer Society has utilized state settlement
money to lobby the City Council is,in my opinion,legally irrelevant to the determination of whether
the Mayor may take part in the discussion and voting on this matter. The Mayor is not responsible
for actions of the American Cancer Society that you allege that are related to lobbying of the City
Council. I am aware of no legal precedent that would disqualify a public official from fulfilling his
or her duties under these circumstances.
In conclusion, I remain of the opinion that the Mayor is not disqualified from voting on an
ordinance pertaining to smoking in the City of Eden Prairie.

Is opinion of the Attorney General dated May 4,2000 addressed to Peter Vogel on behalf of
the City of Little Falls,Minnesota still valid in light of the Order and Memorandum of the Ramsey

FACTS AND DISCUSSION
On May 4,2000,the Attorney General issued an opinion to Peter Vogel representing the City
of Little Falls. Attorney Vogel asked "[d]o Minnesota Statutes which authorize the regulation of
smoking in restaurants by the Department of Health preempt a complete ban on smoking in
restaurants by local ordinance?" In your opinion, you stated "[w]e answer your question in the
negative."You concluded in the final paragraph of the opinion with the statement quoted on page
one of this letter.
The City Council of the City of Eden Prairie is considering whether to adopt an ordinance
which would ban smoking within the City in enclosed public places,certain outdoor areas,places
of employment and 75%of hotel and motel rooms.A copy of a"draft ordinance"is attached to this
letter for illustrative purposes only.As I have discussed with your office,this request for an opinion
is not a request for an opinion on this"draft ordinance." No vote of the Council has been taken on
the enclosed draft and the Council has delayed holding a workshop session at which it intends to
discuss and direct revision of the draft ordinance prior to placing it on a regular Council meeting for
consideration.
The June 27,2002 the Ramsey County District Court Order and Memorandum in State of
Minnesota et al. v. Phillip Morris et al.referred to above states in part that,-
"MPAAT's four year focus on the environmental smoking ordinance •
smoking prohibition approach,in derogation to providing assistance
to individual tobacco users,is without legal or factual justification."
I am aware that MPAAT funded a grant request of the American Cancer Society the proceeds
of which have been used to promote the adoption of environmental smoking ordinances.' Eden
Prairie City Council members have been lobbied by representatives of the American Cancer Society,
other groups and individuals to adopt an ordinance that bans smoking in certain places. The
American Cancer Society is identified in the Court's Order as having received a grant in the amount
of $199,530 from MPAAT. The American Cancer Society's grant application approval from
MPAAT identified the following expenses to be paid from the grant: $51,000.00 for the salary of
a Coordinator for Hennepin County ; $51,000.00 for the salary of a Coordinator for Kandiyohi
County;$38,760 for a new secretary;$10,000 for printing;$15,000 forservice agreements;$12,500
for communications and marketing,$7,500 for apolitical community assessment consultant;$2,520
for travel costs to a National Tobacco Conference;$1250 for meeting costs for a National Tobacco
Conference; and$10,000 for an evaluation specialist.

Your opinion of May 4,2000 stated that the Minnesota Clean Air Act(the Act)and the rules
adopted pursuant to the Act "do not preempt local ordinances which prohibit smoking in
restaurants." As noted in the opinion,public places are broadly defined in the Act.The Act defines
public places as:
"Public Place"means any enclosed, indoor area used by the general
public or serving as a place of work, including, but not limited to,
restaurants,retail stores,offices and other commercial establishments,
public conveyances,educational facilities other than public schools, ''
as defined in section 120.05,subdivision 2,hospitals,nursing homes,
auditoriums, arenas, meeting rooms, and common areas of rental
apartment buildings,but excluding private,enclosed offices occupied
exclusively by smokers even though such offices may be visited by
nonsmokers.
Section 2 and 3(a)of the Act prohibit smoking unconditionally in certain areas such as licensed day
care centers,family home and a group family day care provider homes,and certain areas of hospitals,
health care clinics and facilities and doctor offices. Your opinion stated that:.
"For other public places,including restaurants, §144.415 of provides....
"Smoking areas may be designated by proprietors or other
persons in charge of public places, except in places in which
smoking is prohibited by the Fire Marshall or by other law,
ordinance or rule."(Emphasis in original)
The opinion also stated that the Health Department rules implementing the Clear Indoor Air Act
repeated this exception and state in Minnesota Rule 4620.0050,
"Nothing in parts 4620.0050 to 4620.1500 shall be construed to
affect smoking prohibitions imposed by the Fire Marshall or
other laws,ordinances or regulations."

There has been no change in the provisions of the Act or the exemption in part 4620.0050 of the
Health Department Rules since the opinion of Mayo,2000. Accordingly I respectfully request your
opinion on the question set forth on page one of this letter. As the City Council wishes to act
without undo delay in this matter I would kindly appreciate your opinion at the earliest possible
time.

Dear Mr. Rosow:
Thank you for your letter dated July 15, 2002.
As you noted in your letter, the Minnesota Clean Indoor Air Act, Minn. Stat. §fg 144,411-
144.471 does not preempt the police power of cities to regulate smoking in public restaurants.
You state that the City of Eden Prairie is presently considering adoption of an ordinance that •
would ban smoking in certain public places within the City.' In connection with the City's
consideration of passage of such an ordinance, Eden Prairie council members have been lobbied
by representatives of one or more organizations that have received funding grants from the
Minnesota Partnership for Action Against Tobacco (MPAAT). On June 27, 2002, the Ramsey
County District Court filed an order and memorandum in the case of State v. Phillip Morris
(Ramsey Co. Dist. Ct. File No. C1-94-8565). In that decision, the Court commented on
MPAAT's use of tobacco settlement funds primarily to promote enactment of local smoking
bans. Specifically, the Court's Memorandum stated:
MPAAT's four year focus on the environmental smoking ordinance smoking
prohibition approach, in derogation to providing assistance to individual tobacco
users, is without legal or factual justification.
You ask whether the Ramsey County District Court's order affects the authority of the City to
regulate smoking in public places.
The District Court's Order and Memorandum does not affect the right of the City to
regulate smoking. The Court's analysis, including the language quoted above, addresses the
manner in which MPAAT has expended funds. It does not refer to the authority of local
governments to regulate smoking. It was MPAAT's"focus" on promoting regulatory ordinances
that was found to be without legal basis,not the ordinances themselves.
1 You also enclosed a copy of a draft ordinance for illustrative purposes only. In_accordance
with the scope of this Office's opinion function as discussed in Op. Atty. Gen. 629-a, May 9,
1975,we have not analyzed the draft and express no opinion on it.

II. APPROVAL OF AGENDA
III. 2003 BUDGET WORKSHOP
Neal started the workshop off by noting that 2003 is the second year of a two-year budget
process, so this budget should be considered an amendment of the proposed 2-year
budget already approved by the Council.
Uram reviewed a memorandum on the 2003 amended budget dated August 30, 2002, that
was distributed to all Councilmembers. Uram said the 2003 general fund budget totals
$31.6 million and includes a transfer to Capital Improvement fund of$608,724. This
represents a 1.3%increase over the 2002 budget. Uram explained that the 2003 levy
limit for Eden Prairie is 3%,based on an estimated inflation rate of.76%,household
growth of 1.6%, commercial industrial growth of.65%.
Uram said general fund operating expenditures equal$27.9 million—a 5.1%increase
over 2002. This includes increases in legal counsel and employee benefits and training.
Debt obligations decreased from$2.8 million to $2.36 million and include a tax

Council Workshop/Forzan
September 17,2002
Councilmember Butcher said she would like to review some definitions before
proceeding. She asked Rosow for clarification on what is considered a"public place."
Rosow said his definition of"public"was based on that concepts set forth in the
Minnesota Clean Indoor Air Act.Under this definition anyplace the public is"invited
into"is considered public. Butcher said she considers a"public place"to mean that
which is owned by everyone,i.e., land and buildings owned by the City or other
governmental entity. Councilmember Case said he liked Butcher's distinction.
Councilmember Luse asked the other Councilmembers to remember that he is just the
messenger,but that they must be very careful about what they are proposing—so would
they ban smoking on highways,too, since they are technically public property? Case said
he believed they were talking only about indoor air quality. Butcher said they may want
tp include places like outdoor park pavilions and amphitheatres. Tyra-Lukens asked if
smoking out of doors at factories, offices, etc.,would be allowed. All agreed that
smoking outside of buildings and in vehicles would be acceptable.
Tyra-Lukens asked if the Councilmembers supported the 75%non-smoking/25%
smoking ratio for hotel rooms called for in the hypothetical ordinance. She noted this is
pretty much already the business standard. Case said he thinks it is worthwhile for the
Council to codify what is already common practice,to send a message about what they
are trying to do. Butcher said she is not comfortable regulating what hotels do in relation
to smoking. She would rather offer a set of guidelines,under which compliance would
be voluntary. She said enforcement of regulations would be very difficult, and she thinks
the marketplace should drive what hotels do,not the government. Case said that although
he thinks smoking regulation should be taken care of at the state level,passing an
ordinance at the City-level will help move the State in this direction.
City Attorney Rosow said that it is not appropriate to include guidelines in an ordinance.
The Council could include regulations in an ordinance and pass an accompanying
resolution that would list guidelines. Case said the Council may want to consider
forming a task force to draw up guidelines and facilitate implementation.
Rosow said the term"private vehicles"should be clarified. Would a truck owned by a
conglomeration and driven by an employee be considered private or public? Tyra-
Lukens said she would consider these exempt. Luse suggested making it as simple as
possible—regulation should not apply to vehicles unless they are inside a building(i.e., in
a garage.) Rosow said he would strike the word"private."
Tyra-Lukens said it seems that most companies are already limiting smoking to outside
areas or rooms with separate HVAC systems. Butcher asked Rosow for a quick overview
of the Minnesota Clean Indoor Air Act. Rosow said the act prohibits smoking inside
buildings except in designated areas. The designated areas are set by the proprietor and
are required only to use existing barriers.
Case said he has heard from hundreds of people,most of whom say they want to get
away from second-hand smoke. However,they are asking that the Council not take any
action that will hurt business. Case said his goal is to increase indoor air quality without
harming businesses. He said he spoke to a doctor at Abbott Northwestern Hospital. The
Council Workshop/Forum
September 17,2002
doctor indicated there are so many people smoking outside the hospital entrances,he
feels it would be better to provide a separate room for them.Then others would not have
to endure the second-hand smoke to get in the doors. Case said he could support an
ordinance that would provide for indoor smoking areas as long as they have separate
HVAC systems. He reiterated that he felt the Council's mandate was to craft a symbolic
ordinance with as much substance as the people of Eden Prairie want. Butcher said
maybe a guideline is more in line with what residents want—a one-size-fits-all ordinance
may not be productive. Councilmember Luse said he's had more than 4,000 e-mails,
letters and phone calls on the proposed smoking ordinance. He says he believes he has
been consistent in his commentary on having difficulty with the issue because there is no
clear consensus. He said he believes he was illegally lobbied by Isis Stark in the study of
his home on April 12, 2002.
Luse asked how the Council proposes to go to the residents with an ordinance that is
crystal clear when the conversation has come down to what will be legal versus what will
be suggested. He said he does not see a decisive conclusion. Beyond a lack of resources
to police an ordinance, Luse asked how the Council expects to go to the community with
a modified smoking ban when they were told in April that the facts warrant a 100%ban.
Tyra-Lukens said she would like to pull the Council back to the issue at hand. Luse
asked how the Council proposes to police what is currently legal(smoking) in private
buildings. He said he was told by the same people who illegally had lobbied him that
HVAC systems do not do enough to protect others from second-hand smoke. Tyra-
Lukens asked if Luse was proposing to ban smoking from all indoor areas. Luse said he
was just cautioning the Council to be very clear, and take the time to really define things.
Mosman said that in relation to factories,the main consideration is to protect non-
smokers from second-hand smoke, and using separate ventilation systems may be the
most effective way to do this. Case said he would be okay with banning smoking inside
all businesses,but he could also support separate rooms with separate HVAC systems as
an incremental step toward eliminating second-hand smoke. Councilmember Mosman
agreed.
Luse said that at the end of the day the majority of residents will define the issue based on
how it affects their pocketbooks. If banning smoking will cost the community money in
terms of tax revenues,possibly in the millions of dollars,he does not believe they will
support an ordinance. Case said that type of obfuscation was not helpful, that referring to
millions of dollars in lost taxes ignores the fact that adverse health effects of second-hand
smoke cost Minnesotans billions of dollars.
Case asked if the Council could continue the Workshop after the regular Council Meeting
since it was clear they would not reach a consensus in the time remaining. Rosow said
the Council could continue the Workshop after the regular meeting.

Council Workrhop!Forran
September 17,2002
A. PAUL WENDORFF—SMOKING ORDINANCE
Mr.Wendorff said he is an 18-year resident of Eden Prairie, and that he does not
represent any group. He said he expressed his concerns in July about potential
conflicts of interest on the Council regarding a proposed smoking ordinance.
Since then,he has attended meetings with City staff;the Attorney General, and
Eden Prairie residents. Wendorff referred Council to a request he faxed earlier in
the day requesting a task force to investigate the conduct of the Eden Prairie City
Council regarding the proposed smoking ban ordinance. Wendorff gave a 50-page
document outlining the basis for his request to City Manager Neal. Wendorff s
concerns included what he called illegal MPAAT lobbying of Councilmembers.
Mayor Tyra-Lukens asked City Attorney Rosow to comment on Wendorff s
request. Rosow said using the term"illegal"in relation to MPAAT's activities is
misleading. A distinction should be made between illegal activity and something
that should not have ideally been done.
Councilmember Luse said he had concerns about MPAAT going back to April 16.
He said that wrongdoing is a matter of perception as it relates to public service.
The Council must make sure everything it does is done properly. Even if
something is not illegal,the Council has to deal with the matter of perception.
Councilmember Case said every resident has the right to raise individual
concerns, as Mr. Wendorff has done. However, the Council needs to remember
that Wendorrf is just one individual, and represents only himself. He said the
Council should carefully consider how to respond to his proposal,which would be
costly to implement. Case said to interrupt the process the Council has begun
with respect to a smoking ordinance would constitute a gross misspending of
funds. Case said it is his understanding that if Wendorrf wishes to pursue his
concerns,he can file a court case. He said the Council would have to look to the
City Attorney for counsel on the issue. Mayor Tyra-Lukens recommended adding
the issue to the regular meeting agenda so they could move on to the next speaker.
B. TOM DAY—MINNESOTA RESTAURANT ASSOCIATION
Mayor Tyra-Lukens said Mr.Day had informed the City Manager's Office he
would be unable to attend the Forum.
C. GARY CHANEN—OUTBACK STEAKHOUSE
Mr. Chanen said he is a managing partner of Outback Steakhouse in Eden Prairie.
He said he was disturbed by an article in the previous week's Eden Prairie News.
He said restaurant owners have invested millions of dollars in Eden Prairie, and it
is offensive to be accused of not being concerned about public health. He asked
what the City is doing for restaurants and said telling restaurants what to do now
is unacceptable. He said the Mayor's comment in the article regarding her belief
that large numbers in the community want smoke-free restaurants was offensive.
Chanen said he feels the Mayor is attempting to blacklist some restaurants, even
though they are already moving toward non-smoking on their own. He said he
has heard rumors of the City taking cigarette sales out of the liquor stores,which
he called"a petty effort." He asked the Council to"stop a runaway train—stop
Council Workshop/Forum
September 17,2002
this ordinance."He left copies of letters from an Eden Prairie tanning business
and a manufacturing company,both opposing a smoking ban.
VI. OPEN PODIUM(Unscheduled participants, 6:50-7:00 p.m.)
Eden Prairie High School student Stacy Beritz read a letter she wrote in support of a
smoking ban.
Kathy Paltz,an Eden Prairie resident and former smoker, said if she had known how
unhealthy second-hand smoke was she never would have exposed her children to it. She
asked the Council to approve a second-hand smoke ordinance.
Pat,resident of Bloomington,said she has to carry oxygen with her for medical reasons.
She said she realizes her health problems are a result of her own smoking,but her mother
also suffered from emphysema even though she never smoked.Pat said she cannot go
into most Eden Prairie restaurants because smoking is allowed. She would like to see
restaurant environments free of smoke.
Cindy Schultz,Eden Prairie resident, said she supports a smoking ordinance because it
will help save lives. She is concerned about talk of a compromise ordinance, and asked
the Council to stand fine.
III. PROPOSED SMOKING ORDINANCE(continued from before reizular Council
Meeting)
Mayor Tyra-Lukens reconvened the Workshop at 9:25 p.m.
Tyra-Lukens suggested picking up the discussion at smoking in factories and
manufacturing facilities. Councilmember Butcher asked to make a couple of statements
before continuing the discussion. She said the Councilmembers' oath says they will
remain independent of thought until all information is gathered on an issue. She had
gotten a letter from the Chamber of Commerce just last Friday,stating that they are
against a smoking ordinance. In light of this,Butcher said she would like to ask the
Council to develop a resolution asking the state to review the second-hand smoke issue in
relation to the Minnesota Clean Indoor Air Act. Butcher stated that she is also in favor of
voluntary guidelines rather than legal regulations. Case said he would like to try to figure
out where points of consensus exist among the Councilmembers. He said it appears that
two Councilmembers would vote against even a compromise ordinance. If the Council
passes an ordinance with only a 3-2 vote,he asked what message that would convey to
the community. Case said that he liked the Eden Prairie School District's policy of no-
smoking on school grounds. He felt the City could comfortably pass a similar policy for
government-owned properties.
He said his goal still is to not have smoking anywhere in the state,but that the Council
will be doing themselves and the community a disservice if they pass a ban that is viewed
negatively by surrounding communities. He thinks it might be more effective to"take
control of what we can control, and get away from trying to regulate private business."
Case said he would like to pledge the Council to continue to carry the flag to eliminate
Council Workshop/Fonon
September 17,2002
second-hand smoke. He said Councilmembers could promote the cause to other cities.
He envisions 20 mayors marching into St.Paul demanding action.
Butcher said 28 communities have already written to the State asking them to address the
issue of second-hand smoke. She said the issue is too confusing to address on a local
level, and action must take place on a comprehensive, statewide basis. Mayor Tyra-
Lukens said Butcher presented some compelling reasons to deal with the second-hand
smoke issue on an incentive basis. She said she agrees the worst thing the Council could
do would be to pass an ordinance that is disrespected and disregarded. Though her goal
would be for everywhere to be smoke-free, she asked if it would be fair to "sacrifice the
City"in quest of a local ordinance. However, she said she is not convinced sending a
resolution to the State would be effective, and she would not be satisfied with only a set
of guidelines. She suggested holding a candidate forum before the upcoming election to
find out where legislative candidates stand on the issue.
Case said he has spoken with members of the Chamber and visited nine or 10 Eden
Prairie restaurants. He believes there is a lot of room for restaurants to do what is right
and still make money. He said this issue would be perfect for a task force that would
focus on the positive—how to help bring about incremental changes in second-hand
smoke exposure. Councilmember Mosman said that although she is no medical expert,
she feels she has to rely on the data presented by medical experts that second-hand smoke
is detrimental to health. If this is true,they are not doing their duty as Councilmembers if
they pass a weak ordinance. She pointed out that the Attorney General indicated it was
within the authority of the Council to pass an ordinance.
Butcher said that while all of the Councilmembers agree that smoking is bad,there are a
lot of things that are unhealthy that the Council doesn't regulate. She said individual
rights and the right to choose are issues as well. Individuals still have a choice of
whether or not to go into a place that allows smoking. She said a good start would be to
ban smoking on all publicly-owned properties, even out-of-doors. She said she has
always been in favor of forming a task force that would include health organizations and
local businesses and would develop incentive-based initiatives. This task force could
also draft a resolution for the City to send to the State. Councilmembers could also take
the issue to the MLC and urge them to explore options. Case said if the Council's actions
don't include regulations,he would at least like to develop a list of"hopes"for directions
in which the City would like restaurants and businesses to move in relation to second-
hand smoke. One goal could be for smoke-free lunch times in restaurants throughout the
City. Case said any goals the Council establishes must be monitored over time. Case
also suggested"running a major survey"of the community on the issue. He said the task
force could gather data over a year and then readdress the issue.
Tyra-Lukens asked if the other Councilmembers had an idea of what measures
restaurants in town might support. She feels it is important to have the restaurants on
board with whatever a task force might propose. She said she would ultimately want to
see smoke-free family dinner time in restaurants in addition to lunch hours. Case
suggested offering incentives, such as free advertising,for restaurants that go smoke-free.
Tyra-Lukens said she liked the concept of trial periods,after which a review would take
9
Council Workshop/Forwn
September l7,2002
place. Butcher said she would not be comfortable with any type of regulation that was
not first put before a task force and/or the Chamber.
Councilmember Mosman said she was concerned about bumping the issue up to the State
level since that is where the majority of tobacco industry anti-regulation money is spent.
Councilmember Luse said he felt a lot of progress had been made,but he cautioned the
Council that it sounded like they were going back to square one with the idea of
appointing a task force. He said no one is going to be happy and he doesn't believe it
will"have a whole lot of meat to it"unless actions are based on what constituents want
and what is in their best interest. He asked the Council to be cautious about legal
exposure. He said as an American he tends to err on the side of freedom and individual
rights. As an appointed Councilmember he errs on the side of believing that the issue is
just too close to call. He does not see a mandate. He asked all sides to tone down the
rhetoric and issued a challenge to all in this town to neutralize the negativity stemming
from this issue. Case said he was not sure of David's position,that he has indicated he
would like to err on the side of health, individual rights, and what the majority of people
want. Luse said he believed he had been crystal clear. He feels it is his responsibility to
err on the side of the majority,but he has yet to hear any hard numbers. Case said that •
his impression is that the majority of people want a smoking ban that won't have any
negative effects.
Butcher said she seemed to be hearing some agreement on a ban on smoking in publicly-
owned places. Tyra-Lukens and Luse said they could support such a ban. Case said he
just wanted to say a few words about Luse's assertion that the Council had gone back to
step one with the suggestion of forming a task force. He said he believed that the task
force that is being discussed today is very different from the one proposed in April.
Tyra-Lukens said she was wary of relying on statistics. Surveys are not necessarily
scientific,and the results depend largely on what and how questions are asked.
Rosow said he wanted to clarify the Council's direction based on the evening's
discussion. His understanding was that they wished to draft an ordinance to ban smoking
in all publicly owned spaces,both indoors and outdoors. By publicly owned,they meant
everything owned by a government entity,not just the City. Case said he would also like
staff to explore the possibility of a task force charter. Luse suggested that one of the most
important tasks is to communicate to the business community what the Council will not
be doing—namely regulating smoking at private businesses.
The Council agreed they would hold further discussions on how to proceed at the October
1,2002,Workshop at 4:00 p.m. in the Heritage Rooms.

A. HERITAGE PRESERVATION SITE ALTERATION (Permit #2002-03-0005)
by the City of Eden Prairie. Request for Approval to allow spring improvements,
including relocation of the spring stand pipe to a location nearer the creek,
construction of a new spring tank,parking area,interpretive sign, and bench seating at
Miller Spring. Location: Miller Spring on Spring Road.
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
September 17,2002
Page 4
City Manager Scott Neal said official notice of this public hearing was published in
the September 5, 2002, Eden Prairie News and sent to 6 property owners. He said
pursuant to City Code, Section 11.05, Subd. 5, permit review, the Heritage
Preservation Commission has reviewed a request for a Site Alteration Permit for the
Fredrick-Miller Spring, for relocation of the spring stand pipe to a location nearer the
creek (east of the present location), construction of a new spring tank, parking area,
interpretive panel and bench.
Neal said the proposal has been reviewed by the HPC and they recommended it
unanimously.He said Staff recommends approval.
Case was concerned that water at the site may become undrinkable at some point in
the future, and if so, how would it be closed down and signed. Dietz explained that
nitrate levels for the well have periodically caused concern in the past,but the goal is
to improve the situation there and make the area historically significant and also
provide a paved surface that is safe.
There were no comments from the audience.
MOTION: Butcher moved to close the Public Hearing and approve Heritage
Preservation Site Alteration Permit #2002-03-005. Seconded by Case, motion
carried 5-0.
B. ROLLING HILLS SENIOR HOUSING PUD AMENDMENT by Shelter
Corporation. Request for Guide Plan Change from Office to High Density Residential
on 1.02 acres, Planned Unit Development Concept Amendment on 1.02 acres,
Planned Unit Development District Review with waivers on 1.02 acres, Zoning
District Change from Office to RM-2.5 on 1.02 acres, and Site Plan Review on 1.02
acres. Location: Prairie Center Drive and Rolling Hills Road. (Resolution No.2002-
152 for PUD Concept Amendment, Ordinance for PUD District Review and
Zoning District Change, and Resolution No. 2002-153 for Comprehensive Guide
Plan Change)
City Manager Scott Neal said official notice of this public hearing was published in
the September 5, 2002, Eden Prairie News and sent to 136 property owners. He said
this approved plan is a three-story, 142-unit senior residential building, and a three-
story, 17,500-sq. ft. medical office. The senior building is under construction. The
amendment is changing the office building to a single story, 22-unit, skilled nursing
building. The project will require a guide plan change from Office to High Density
Residential. The project also requires waivers for density and parking. The
Community Board voted 7-0 to recommend approval of the project to the City
Council at the August 26, 2002 meeting. Neal said that changing the guide plan helps
satisfy a need for senior health and social services and creates a better visual
transition to the townhouses to the east.
He said this project will need waivers from City Code,including density from 17.4 to
20.95 units per acre which is a waiver related to the total number of units proposed.
Neal said Eden Shores Senior Campus and Realife Valley View Cooperative were
1.3
crrY COUNCIL MINUTES
September 17,2002
Page 5
approved with similar waivers. The other waiver needed is parking from 2 spaces per
dwelling unit to 1.0 spaces per dwelling unit. Neal said this waiver is similar to the
parking requirements approved for the Eden Shores Senior project. The senior
building under construction adjacent to this project was approved at .7 spaces per
unit. Neal said facilities of this nature do not necessitate the number of parking stalls
required in the RM-2.5 district, and the parking will sufficiently accommodate
resident,visitor and staff parking.
Neal stated that Jay Jensen from Shelter Corporation is present tonight to answer
questions, if necessary. Franzen said Staff recommendation is for approval for two
reasons: to satisfy housing goals of increasing social services to the community and
also the transition to the east. He said by increasing berm height and adding trees and
changing the building height is for a better visual relationship with nearby properties.
Jensen said the buildings have turned out better than expected. He said the onsite
rehab center with 24-hour nursing is one of the highlights of the project.
There were no comments from the audience.
MOTION: Case moved to close the Public Hearing and adopt the Resolution No.
2002-152 for PUD Concept Amendment on 1.02 acres; and adopt the Resolution No.
2002-153 for Comprehensive Guide Plan Change on 1.02 acres; and direct Staff to
prepare a Developer's Agreement incorporating Staff and Board recommendations
and Council conditions; and authorize Staff to issue a land alteration permit and
footing and foundation permit. Seconded by Mosman, motion carried 5-0.
C. IMPROVEMENTS FOR PIONEER TRAIL/FLYING CLOUD DRIVE AREA
UTILITY IMPROVEMENTS (Resolution)
City Manager Scott Neal said official notice of this public hearing was published in a
recent, 2002 edition of Eden Prairie News and sent to property owners. He said the
feasibility study has been in the development process for several years. The project
will provide a segment of trunk watermain for the City along the Pioneer Trail
corridor and provide lateral utility service to the existing building areas of Flying
Cloud Field, the BFI development on Flying Cloud Drive and the proposed office
warehouse development in the northwest quadrant of Pioneer Trail and Flying Cloud
Drive.
Neal said that City and MAC staff have recently reached a preliminary agreement
regarding the benefit to Flying Cloud Field from the proposed utility improvements.
This benefit is reflected in the cost-sharing proposals contained within the feasibility
study. Through the public hearing process, Council will consider the staff developed
cost-shared proposals with MAC and review the appropriateness of the proposed
assessments to other properties abutting the improvements. MAC staff and the other
property owners have reviewed the feasibility study and indicated their general
acceptance.

Dietz said there are only five property owners involved in this project.He said this is
a project that will build a watermain on Pioneer Trail between Staring Lake Parkway
and Flying Cloud Drive, and then along Flying Cloud Drive to the control tower
across from the BFI location. He said sanitary sewer will essentially follow those
same routes. Dietz said this is a $1,662,000 project which we expect to assess
$1,082,000 with the balance of it City cost. He said the watermain in Pioneer Trail
will be part of the City's trunk system. He said the City has an arrangement with
MAC where it is proposed that the City build a small portion of the project- the area
in the northwest corner of Pioneer Trail and Flying Cloud Drive. He said MAC will
be the contract administrator for about 85% of the project. He said they will follow
the same bidding procedures and processes as the City. He said about 2/3 of the
assessable costs are to MAC and the City would then special assess BFI and the other
abutting properties. Dietz said the goal is to get watermain and sanitary sewer service
to the BFI transfer station site by mid-summer.
Case asked if the project is acceptable to Moen property owners. Dietz said they are
anxious to proceed.
Case asked if the City's $580,000 portion of the contribution would come out of
utility enterprise funds. Dietz said it would.
Neal pointed out that Staff recommends moving forward with the project. He noted
that Dietz has worked closely and cooperatively with MAC on the project.
There were no comments from the audience.
MOTION: Luse moved to close the Public Hearing and adopt the Resolution No.
2002-154 ordering Pioneer Trail/Flying Cloud Drive Area Utility Improvements.
Seconded by Case, motion carried 5-0.

City Manager Scott Neal stated this project was first reviewed at the August 20, 2002
City Council meeting. The City Council closed the public hearing and tabled
discussion on the ordinances and resolutions until the September 17, 2002 meeting.
This project is an amendment to the approved plan for Bluff Country Village located
at the intersection of Hennepin Town Road and Pioneer Trail. A guide plan change
from Neighborhood Commercial to Office is proposed for an office building and a
daycare. There are waivers from the City Code for building height and floor area for
the retail apartment building.
Neal said the proposed plan includes 188 total housing units and the approved plan is
161 housing units; 94 townhouses and the approved plan is 97 townhouses; 45,000 sf
of retail and the approved plan is 50,000 sf of retail; 94 apartment units located above
28,011 sf of retail located on the west side of Hennepin Town Road and a 3,200 sf
restaurant, and the approved plan is 25,000 square feet of retail, 8 senior units, and 16
live work units; a 9,900 sf daycare and 9,000 sf office building located north of the
pond on the east side of Hennepin Town Road and the approved plan is 40 senior
units located above 11,000 sf of retail.
Neal said this project was first reviewed at the June 24, 2002, Community Planning
Board meeting meeting. The Community Planning Board voted to continue the
project and directed the developer to address the following items: height and mass of
the apartment-retail building; location and screening of the outdoor seating area for
the restaurant; drive thru and bank options; and berming and landscaping along
Highway 169.
He said at the July 24, 2002 meeting, the Community Planning Board voted 4-3 to
recommend approval of the project based on revised plans, which included the
following changes: reduced building height for the commercial-apartment building
from 45'- 7" to 39'-3'; roof peak reduced by 10'-8"; moved the outdoor seating area
of the restaurant to the west and screened with 12-foot high conifers; eliminated the
drive thru and bank options; on the daycare-office site, added a 4-6 foot berm and 18
conifer trees; increased height of the conifer trees from 7-12 feet; and reduced the size
of the office building by 900 square feet and moved all parking to the south side.
Franzen said there haven't been changes in the plan and there are three primary
reasons Staff recommended it for approval. He said they include the design where a
PUD approach was done to give it a custom look; it's a better site plan with a greater
separation between the highway and housing; and mitigation of visual and traffic
impacts.
Tyra-Lukens noted that this is not a public hearing and an extensive presentation, as
well as public hearing, took place on this amendment at the August 20, 2002 meeting.
Case added that at that particular meeting, 4 Councilmembers were present and the
indication was that only 3 would vote in the affirmative, with 4 needed for the vote to
pass.
MOTION: Case moved to adopt the Resolution No. 2002-1555 for Comprehensive
Guide Plan change from neighborhood Commercial to Office on 3.0 acres; and adopt
l

the Resolution No. 2002-156 for Planned Unit Development Concept Review on
8.8acres; and Approve 1st Reading of the Ordinance for Planned Unit Development
District Review on 8.8 acres and Zoning District Change from Neighborhood
Commercial to Office on 3.0 acres; and adopt the Resolution No. 2002-157 for
Preliminary Plat on 8.8 acres into 3 lots; and direct Staff to prepare a Developer's
Agreement incorporating Staff and Board recommendations and Council conditions.
The motion was seconded by Butcher.
Luse said he is comfortable with the project, but is concerned about setting a
precedent.
Case said Council needs to do what is best for the entire City, but also needs to be
concerned with the transition of neighborhoods. He said he believes the transitional
border is there with this neighborhood.
Butcher said she is comfortable with the project. She added that the project is very
services oriented which is a plus.
Mosman expressed concerns about changing the Guide Plan in return for "desirable
architecture." She said other projects are approved and look good without giving
something extra. Mosman also said the project is going beyond what it was originally
guided for because it has more height, extra units, more mass and more traffic. She
said it is not "neighborhood" scale.
Tyra-Lukens said the transition of this project is well done and she is comfortable
with it.
Case noted that every situation is unique and if changes are made to the Guide Plan, it
should be understood why they're being made. He said the Guide Plan is a living
document should not be changed in any way loosely, but many changes have
occurred at this particular intersection causing it to rise to the level of Regional
Commercial.
Franzen said he views a PUD and a waiver to be unique to each project, and because
each project is different, he does not believe a precedent is being set.
At completion of discussion,motion carried 4-1. Mosman opposed.

1. DISCUSSION ON MUNICIPAL SALES OF TOBACCO PRODUCTS
MOTION: Luse moved to discontinue the sale of tobacco products in all
municipal liquor stores in the City of Eden Prairie, effective January 1,2003.
Case said it has been discussed to possibly consider using tobacco money as
seed money and directly put it back into businesses to help them meet goals
set by the City, and to also raise this issue to the State level. He said he's in
favor of the cause, but is concerned there has not been enough time for
Council to digest it before voting on it.
Tyra-Lukens said she is in favor of the motion as stated, but it would have
been nice to have it on the table with other things.
Luse said this is more of a moral and ethical comment and should stand on its
own because it would be consistent with the Council's decision to eliminate
teenage access to cigarette machines. He offered to rescind his motion for
more discussion, if necessary.
Butcher said she supports the motion because she feels it's important that
publicly-owned properties should be separated out because they are directly
impacted by Council decisions. She said she will support the ban because they
are City-owned liquor stores.
Mosman pointed out that in procedures for bringing items before the Council,
all Councilmembers did agree to the idea that it had to be either two members
initiating it or that it would be prior knowledge with information in the
meeting packet. She said these procedures prevent surprise votes on
potentially controversial items.
Luse noted that he did discuss this with Mr. Rosow and City Manager Neal,
and he is comfortable with it. Neal confirmed that Luse talked to him and the
City Attorney, but it was thought that discussion would take place in the
context of the ordinance. Neal said because of the recess, Council did not get
far enough in deliberations to discuss this.
Butcher said she sees this as a good faith effort on the part of the Council to
try to make progress. Tyra-Lukens said she is in favor of the motion.
Seconded by Case, motion carried 5-0.
2. DISCUSSION ON A PROPOSED TASK FORCE
Luse said there has been discussion on the forming of a proposed task force to
look into actions brought forward by a citizen earlier. He said it is an
uncomfortable situation with no merit, and borders on the reality of the public
forum in that by association, you are guilty. He said what has been brought
forward is a question of conduct on behalf of this Council in actions that relate r
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
September 17,2002
Page 10
to the smoking ban process. Luse said a press release has been issued asking
that a citizens'task force look into the conduct of Councilmembers.
Luse said it is his belief that perception is reality and he said the Council has
nothing to hide and we need to get out whatever it is, under the guidance of
the City Attorney.He strongly urged Council to appoint a task force.
Case said this issue has been raised for several months and there have been
clear answers from the City Attorney. He said individuals can perceive what
they wish,but the City Attorney has said based on Council actions,there is no
conflict of interest. He said anyone has the right to question actions of the
Council, but it does not mean Council should react when one resident tries to
bring to a standstill decisions made for the good of everyone. He said the
Council represents the majority of the people. He said Council would be doing
an injustice to Eden Prairie's 56,000 residents if they constantly knee-jerk
react to what one person brings forth.
Luse said the one particular individual represents a group of people. He does
not see any personal gain by that individual as it relates to this overall issue -
it is a concerned citizen. He said it is a reality that people want to know more
about what happened, and it is all about the perception.
Butcher said she has not had an opportunity to review the document in
question and asked if Mr. Wendorff would submit or has submitted written
questions and then have the City Attorney respond in written form. She said
she does feel due process needs to be followed with Mr. Wendorff receiving
answers to his questions. Butcher added that she supported a citizens task
force at the beginning of this process and maybe some of these questions
would have been answered if that had happened.
Case noted that Mr. Wendorff clearly stated in his presentations that he is
speaking for himself. He said he is comfortable with the questions being
submitted to the City Attorney for review and answer.
Luse said he is concerned that in the past, we have perceptions that are not
driven by one individual, but we don't have the access to fully understand the
information in past decisions. He said he thinks we have that here, and does
not see that as a process that would cost a lot of money. He said if we don't get
it out there exactly what it is, it becomes an individual's integrity is
questioned.
Mosman said there are definite rules about what can be presented in public
with respect to personnel issues. She added in this situation, she feels that the
questions need to be presented with responses. She said she is in support of
questions in written form with written answers. Mosman noted that many
hours have already been spent on responding to many e-mails from citizens
regarding the issue.

Case mentioned that many people e-mail him and he does not plan to release
documents that people send to him. He said as a result of Mr. Wiessner's data
request many people may not now feel comfortable letting Council know their
personal thoughts because this may be released to the public. He assured
residents of Eden Prairie that he will not be the one to release their thoughts
and concerns, but they can release anything he sends back. Case said he
believes the law says that either party can release it.
City Attorney Rosow clarified that correspondence between citizens and
public officials is private confidential information, not public information. He
said it can be released,however, from either side.
Rosow said he is concerned about the process being suggested. He noted that
Council has not had a chance to read the document submitted. He said it's not
really a set of questions he can sit down and answer, and the problem lies in
the word "investigate" when the document talks about "investigating" the
ethical and moral conduct of the City Council in response to illegal and
improper lobbying of Councilmembers by the American Cancer Society.
Rosow said Council has no authority to conduct an investigation into
potentially illegal activity of a third party. He said due process says that it's
not one of Council's statutory rights to conduct investigations. He said that is
properly the right and duty of other officers of the State, from the County
Attorney to the Attorney General. He said rules have to be followed to protect
due process rights of the parties being investigated. He said empowering a
citizens task force with investigative powers is beyond the scope of the
Council and would be an unwise use of resources.
Tyra-Lukens stated there is nothing to hide and Council is willing to cooperate
with any questions from anyone, but she is concerned with the fact that Mr.
Wendorff sent this out as a press release prior to finding out if Council could
legally act on it. She suggested that Council send out a press release echoing
comments from the City Attorney, as well as Council's willingness to
cooperate with any questions.
Luse said he believes the Attorney General will not respond to a complaint
unless a citizen has issued it. He said he is concerned that the press release
will be issued tomorrow morning, and he is concerned about the fabric of this
town.He asked Council not to add to the confusion.
Case said he believes Council should completely answer this in a press
release, showing that Council has no legal right to do what Mr. Wendorffs
press release is asking. He said because all Councilmembers have said they
have no conflict of interest, and actions have been supported by the City
Attorney,this is a dead issue.
Luse asked Councilmembers to go back to the consistency of his comments as
to concerns that have become reality. He said it is a press release that is out
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
September 17,2002
Page 12
there and his point is the process of perception.
Tyra-Lukens said Council did not ignore the issue, but assessed it and
obtained the Attorney General's opinion. She said Council responded to a
request from 1300 people and is doing what should be done by responsible
responsive representatives of the people. She said she is not willing to slow
down the process to deal with one person's perception of things. She said there
is no substance to the allegations.
Luse said it is not about questioning anything other than trying to have a
vision for the City to see what is coming, and specifically this is a parallel
question process to the bigger question that has gone on since April 16 as to
whether we have a ban on smoking. He said this is about what he believes that
when you put into the equation the political and health issue the other
economic issues along with the other rights and choices, he is hard put to
know that this is anything other than a very close final decision about being
50-50, depending on how you ask the question. He said this is not about a
slowdown, this is about consistency of one individual councilmember who
feels very strongly that we started in the wrong direction. He said he is asking
Council to separate that from the request here tonight.
Tyra-Lukens clarified that not only Councilmember Luse, but all
Councilmembers have made public statements and have tried to examine this
issue from all points of view.
Luse asked if there is another way to address the concern that it is a public
document that will be in the media tomorrow. He said this is about what he
believes to be an issue of closer to 50-50 on this very important health issue.
Case suggested because of legal advice, Council should move forward with
this and issue a press release tomorrow.
Luse said he would like to honor the request that was brought forward, and he
would implore Mr.Rosow to look at it.
Neal stated prior to this meeting, Staff had already planned to issue a press
release summarizing Council's deliberations. He advised Council that without
regard to motives or content, to look at this as a request for public
information. He said some of the information is public and requests should
follow the standard process governed by statutes. Neal said Mr. Wendorff
should be advised of the rules for seeking public information, and he can
decide whether he wants to follow those rules.
3. DISCUSSION ON COMMUNITY FEEDBACK ON GRACE CHURCH
TRAFFIC
Case suggested Staff be directed to look at the traffic impact of the new
church and report back to Council. He said there are two issues -westbound

September 17,2002
Page 13
traffic being overridden by a police officer on Pioneer Trail at the Spring
Road light and also northbound traffic at the Presbyterian church where
services let out close to the same time as Grace. Tyra-Lukens said she has
heard concerns about traffic stacking up westbound on Pioneer Trail due to
the left turn lane when Grace Church is filling. Neal said Staff has been
receiving resident concerns about the problems and a meeting with the police
department is scheduled with Grace Church officials this Thursday.

Next Meeting: October 15,2002 10:00 AM Eden Prairie City Hall
The following items were covered during the meeting:
1. Mark Koegler,Hoisington Koegler Group, summarized the City Council Briefing Session
held on August 22.A few members of the committee expressed concern regarding the
feasibility of implementing the plan.
2. Mark Koegler and Brad Schieb presented the following four land use maps and associated
trip generation-
Baseline-Land Use Map,which identifies little land use change except additional
development on underutilized and vacant land(i.e.housing on vacant land and
redevelopment of the farm).
Current Trends-The Current Trends land use alternative responds to private market trends related to
residential and commercial uses. It projects increases in higher density residential uses based on the
success of similar projects in the Golden Triangle over the past few years. Additionally,it seeks to
provide neighborhood scale commercial services appealing to the added population of area residents as
well as employees in the area. Big box retail uses are also included in the concept in recognition of an
active market for such uses in Eden Prairie and a deficiency of alternative sites for larger scale retail
in other parts of the community.
Public-Private Opportunities-The Public-Private Opportunities concept depicts a much
more aggressive redevelopment effort. In addition to regional and local commercial uses
similar to those identified in the Current Trends alternative,the concept shows an expansive
area of medium and higher density residential development. The more extensive pattern of
residential uses is shown to create a"critical mass"necessary to establish a true neighborhood
rather than simply a residential area among a larger area of industrial uses. The residential
uses have been located to take advantage of and to extend the existing system of open spaces
and water resource areas in the Golden Triangle.
Transit Village-The Transit Village concept establishes land uses in support of transit. A
mix of land uses is centered on a transit hub. The mix of uses includes jobs, service,retail
and housing.The transit village aims to create a walkable,mixed-use community with a
diversity of housing.
Mark and Brad described the trip generation of the land use scenarios. Over the course of 20
years,the transit village was forecasted to generate the least amount of trips and the baseline
the greatest amount of trips.
3. The Open House is scheduled for Thursday, September 26, 2002 from 4:00 to 7:00 PM at
Liberty Property Trust, 10400 Viking Drive,Eden Prairie. Presentations will be held at 4:30
and 6:00 PM.
4. The next meeting of the Technical Advisory Team will be Tuesday,October 15, 10:00 AM,
at the Eden Prairie City Hall.

Requested Action
Move to: Approve Change Order No. 1 for the Chanson Phase II (Eden Prairie Road
from Pioneer Trail to Valley Road) Improvements from Ingram Excavating,
Inc. in the amount of$25,611.16.
Synopsis
This change order is for additional work the contractor needed to perform within Eden Prairie
Road adjacent to Grace Church to avoid significant delays in project completion based on
utility conflicts as well as additional work due to existing water main being at a depth below
anticipated plan elevations.
Background Information
The change order was necessary to work around existing power, gas and telephone lines within
the project area of Eden Prairie Road adjacent to Grace Church. Significant delays in the
project completion would have occurred without the authorization to work around these
existing utilities until such time as the utilities were relocated.
In addition, the change order addresses additional work performed based a watermain
connection at Pioneer Trail at which an existing water main was anticipated to be
approximately 8' below grade, which was actually 15' below grade. Additional pavement
removal, excavation, backfill and patching along Pioneer Trail were required.

$402,987.50.
Synopsis
Sealed bids were received on Thursday, September 26, 2002. A summary of bid results and
recommendation of award are attached. Staff recommends award of the contract to DMJ
Corporation for the proposed base project with the addition of Alternatives 2, 3 and 5. The base
bid is$388,794.50 and the alternatives are$14,300 for a total of$402,987.50.
Background Information
Glenshire Outlot A
Glenshire Outlot A is under a Conservation Easement with the Minnesota Land Trust since 2000
which allows the City to restore up to approximately 3-1/2 acres of the site to wetland
conditions. The completion of the wetland mitigation is seen as culmination of 7 years of work
between City staff, State Representative Tom Workman and members of the Glenshire-Edenvale
Conservation Group. The Glenshire wetland mitigation project includes 2.8 acres of new
wetland and 2.1 acres of upland buffer credit for a total of 4.9 acres of wetland credit. The entire
credits will be used for the Columbine Road and Purgatory Creek Recreation Area requirements
from the Watershed District and U.S. Corps of Engineers.
Water Treatment Plant
Preliminary grading and landscaping of the Water Treatment Plant (WTP) stormwater ponding
and wetland areas was completed in 1999. This portion of the WTP site was historically wetland
but was filled to create the original water plant lagoons. Additional grading and landscaping are
required for two reasons, to expand the wetland mitigation area and to correct soil deficiencies
including high levels of salt and sodium from historical usage of the site for salt storage. This
has resulted in problems such as bald spots with little or no vegetation, hard or compacted soils
and erosion channels on the slopes. The wetland mitigation project includes 1.1 acres of new
wetland credit, 0.82 acres of upland buffer credit and 0.45 acres of public value credit for
stormwater ponding for a total of 2.37 acres of wetland credit. Credits will be used for the
Columbine Road and Purgatory Creek Recreation Area requirements from the WCA and U.S.
Corps of Engineers (COE) with 0.46 acres of excess new wetland credits and 0.49 acres of
excess public value credits under WCA that will be banked for future City projects.

for the west 8.89 acres.Reasons to consider the guide plan change are:
1. The guide plan change would be consistent with the Comprehensive Guide Plan goal to
support the development of the Southwest Metro Transit Hub land area.
2. The guide plan change would be consistent with the following policies of the
Comprehensive Guide Plan.
• Support the efforts of Southwest Metro Transit to develop a transit hub on its property
at the southwest corner of Highway 5 and Prairie Center Drive in Eden Prairie.
• Consider, through the PUD process on a case by case basis, the granting of bonuses
and incentives to allow for the higher intensity uses that will be supportive of a transit
hub.
• Encourage compact and pedestrian friendly mixed-use developments that offer the
type of retail and convenience services that will be utilized by both transit customers
and destination shoppers.
• Consider opportunities for shared parking between transit parking lots that would
predominantly be used:during daytime business hours and those land uses (such as
entertainment and dining) that could utilize these parking facilities during evening
and weekend hours when transit is not running its peak service.
Planned Unit Development Waivers
Waivers are requested for building setback, parking setback, density, and building height.
Reasons to consider the waivers are:
1. To support the development of the Southwest Metro Transit Hub land area.

4. The project with waivers results in a design with additional interior green space to
help soften the visual appearance of parking lots and provide internal pedestrian
connections.
5. The project with waivers results in design with decorative lights, fencing, and
sidewalks.
Parking
The residential site meets the required parking of two spaces per unit with one enclosed. The
plan shows a total of 472 spaces.
Each commercial site provides the required parking based on one space per three seats for the
proposed restaurants. The total seating for all restaurants is 1,200 seats. The parking
requirement is 400 spaces. The plan shows 411 spaces. There are 700 spaces in the parking
deck that can also be used after 6:00 PM and on weekends.
Traffic Signal
The proposed development is expected to create sufficient traffic volumes to warrant a traffic
signal installation at the Technology Drive / Southwest Station east access intersection. In
addition, the existing traffic signals at the Prairie Center Drive and Technology Drive
intersection also must be adjusted to handle the increase in traffic. The new traffic signal and
adjustments to existing signals need to be completed prior to the opening of any of the
proposed retail buildings.
The developer will be responsible for the traffic signal design, installation costs, and signal
adjustments. If the developer petitions the City for the improvements, a special assessment
agreement will be required.

Staff Report—Southwest Station 2002
September 6,2002
Each commercial site provides the required parking based on one space per three seats for the
proposed restaurants. The total seating for all restaurants is 1,200 seats.The parking requirement is

building height for commercial buildings is 40 feet.All commercial buildings are less than 40 feet
tall. The maximum height for the residential buildings is 45 feet.The residential buildings are 50
feet tall.
DRAINAGE AND STORMWATER TREATMENT
Two ponds are proposed for water quality and flood storage for the western portion of the
property; one pond adjacent to the TH 5 & 312 corridor and a second north of Technology Drive.
Both ponds should be privately owned and maintained. Appropriate private easements and
maintenance agreements regarding the ponds will be needed. The ponds should be constructed
with a 10:1 bench at the normal water level for vegetation growth and for safety concerns.
UTILITIES
All interior utilities within the site are to be privately owned and maintained. All utilities must be
installed to meet current plumbing and building codes.
TRAFFIC SIGNAL
The proposed development is expected to create sufficient traffic volumes to warrant a traffic signal
installation at the Technology Drive/Southwest Station east access intersection. In addition,the
existing traffic signals at the Prairie Center Drive and Technology Drive intersection also must be
adjusted to handle the increase in traffic. The new traffic signal and adjustments to existing signals
need to be completed prior to the opening of any of the proposed retail buildings.
The developer will be responsible for the traffic signal design, installation costs, and signal
adjustments. If the developer petitions the City for the improvements, a special assessment
agreement will be required.
STREETS/ACCESS
The following plan revisions will be necessary for better access and safety.
1. The Technology Drive/Southwest Station east access intersection will be required to align with
the proposed access location for the Purgatory Creek Recreation Area. As currently shown the
access points do not align.
Staff Report—Southwest Station 2002
September 6,2002
2. The western residential access should be located a minimum of 150 feet east of the culvert
headwall on Technology Drive to allow sufficient room for guardrail installation.
3. The right turn lane to the eastern residential access should be removed since an adequate turn
lane design cannot be provided.
4. The western residential access point should have two exit lanes and one entrance lane.
5. Planter locations should be moved to assure that they do not interfere with intersection sight
distances. Sight distance information should be provided at each access to Technology Drive to
assure that 35-mph sight distances are being provided.
6. The crosswalk at the Technology Drive/Southwest Station east access intersection should align
with the existing trail along Technology Drive. ,
LANDSCAPING
The landscaping requirement is 1,352 inches. The plan meets this requirement.
SHORELAND CODE
The shoreland setback requirement from Purgatory Creek is 150 feet. The building is located 150
feet back from the creek at its closest point.
The shore impact zone is 75 feet back from the creek. No grading or parking is located in the shore
impact zone. All existing vegetation will remain.
The maximum building height in a shoreland area is 35 feet for residential structures.
SIGNS
There are four types of signs proposed.
Planned Unit Development Area Identification Signs
Southwest Metro is proposing two monument signs for area identification. One is located at
the intersection of Technology Drive and Prairie Center Drive. The other is located in front
of Culvers on Technology Drive.The code allows one 80 square foot sign on each frontage,
with a maximum height of 20 feet.Both signs meet City Code.The sign at the intersection of
Technology Drive and Prairie Center Drive is located in MnDot right of way. The right of
way will eventually be turned back to the city. The City would need to vacate right of way so
the sign would meet the required 20-foot setback. The other monument sign meets the
required 20-foot setback.
Monument Signs
Culvers and Krispy Kreme have a monument sign. The code allows an 80 square foot sign
with a maximum height of 20 feet. Each sign is 8 feet,8 inches tall and 56 square feet. Each
sign meets the required 15-foot setback.
I
Staff Report—Southwest Station 2002
September 6,2002
Commercial Wall Signs
The wall signs have not been designed. The wall signs should meet City code. A sign is
allowed on each wall as a percentage of the wall area not to exceed 300 square feet.
Residential signs
The signs have not been designed. The design should be similar should to Southwest
Station, Culvers and Krispy Kreme. The City code allows one identification sign per street
entrance at a 10-foot setback. The sign can be up to 36 square feet, and 6 feet tall.
PRELIMINARY PLAT
The existing transit hub and parking ramp need to be platted as a separate lot within the proposed
subdivision.
The proposed pond in Lot 3 should be private. The drainage and utility easements will need to be
vacated by City Council.
Drainage and utility easements are indicated over Ponds 1 &2 within proposed Lot 5. These ponds
are to be privately owned and maintained. The drainage and utility easements should be removed
from the proposed plat.
SUMMARY
The Community Planning Board should discuss the following questions.
1. Is the proposed use consistent with the goals and policies of the comprehensive plan?
2. Is the proposed use appropriate for the site and compatible with the surrounding area?
3. Do the waivers result in a better plan for the site and the City than if no waivers are granted?

District Change from Rural to Commercial Regional Service on 6.66 acres, and

Preliminary plat of 20.3 acres into 6 lots. Location:North of Technology Drive,
south of TH 312 and west of Prairie Center Drive.
The public hearing opened at 7:05 p.m.
Jay Scott,North American Properties, reviewed the project. This mixed-use
development incorporates housing,retail -commercial, and a transit station. The
western portion of the property is 236 units of multi-family housing; the center
portion is the transit hub. There are a number of restaurants to be added along the
eastern portion. The vision for the project was to take advantage of the existing
conditions and create amenities for commuters,workers at existing offices, and
residents.Anticipated tenants at the site are Krispy Kreme, Culvers, Ruby
Tuesdays, and a multi-tenant building with such tenants as Caribou's and Chipoltle.
As part of the approval they wish to create a signalized access. A right-in right-out
is proposed on the far western portion of the site. The parking garage will be used
by transit customers during daytime hours.
The proposed residential is 236 units, offering sixteen floor plans; 60 percent will
be efficiency,with the remainder 2-bedroom plus. The target resident is a rent-by-
choice,work-force customer. The apartments will offer a business center, clubhouse
facility,basketball and racquetball courts. There are three stories of parking,
creating two stalls per unit. The architecture of the existing transit hub has been
incorporated into the development. Restaurants will have specific design elements
to ensure compatibility.
Nelson inquired about the retail area,whether there was a street behind the Culvers
or whether it was only a drive-through. It appears to be a street on the plans.
Scott stated both, a drive-through and a pass-through. There are various directions
for travelers to drop people off at the transit station.
Franzen stated staff recommended approval based on the conditions listed in the
staff report. Plan changes are listed on page seven of the staff report.
Sodt requested clarification on the conditions in the staff report regarding the
residential access 150 feet east of Culvers.He asked why this would be done if it
presented a significant obstacle.

Scott stated most of these items in the staff report were small technicaµ{•/l engineering -"
issues that were easily accommodated. They will meet with the planning staff to
discuss extending a guard rail. It would have a big impact on the curb design.
Currently the access is 105 feet; another 45 feet would be difficult.
Gray stated the trail will wrap around behind the guard-rail and the space is needed.
The driveway opening and curb maybe an issue.
Sodt asked about the right-in to the eastern residential and why removing it was
recommended. This would allow access only from the west.
Gray noted the recommendation means do not construct a right-turn lane. The
driveway will not be removed. The purpose of a right-turn lane is for deceleration;
if it is made too small,it will not serve this purpose.
Brooks inquired about stacking on the drive-through.
Jerry Anderson, architect, stated stacking space from the window is approximately
5-6 vehicles and from the order area to the street another 5 vehicles. There will be
room for passing and for backing up to park.
Foote inquired whether they had discussed a smoking ordinance with any of the
restaurants.
Scott stated the restaurants were aware of the ordinance.
Stoelting stated he did not see a service area for Krispy Kreme or Culvers.
Scott noted they both have an independent service area. He showed the location on
the elevation. Everything is screened behind walls or parapets. Trash is fully
enclosed and fully screened from view.
Stoelting asked whether there were gates in the parking garage.
Scott stated no;the garage was not secure.
Stoelting noted the Shoreland Code was referenced. The staff report states
maximum building height is 35 feet for residential and this project is considering 50
feet.
Franzen stated there have been 50 feet high projects in Shoreland Areas. The type
of colors and existing vegetation are considered;the southern portion full of trees
mitigates a portion of the height.At its closest point to the creek, it is 150 feet. This

portion of the creek has no trail planned;there is more urban than rural character to
the development. There will be creek plantings.
Sodt stated this was isolated from any other type of development and height would
not have that much of an impact.
Steppat stated he was in favor of the development. He expressed concern about
pedestrian traffic.
Scott reviewed pedestrian movements. There are connections with trails across the
street and park. This is meant to open up and welcome pedestrian movements into
the site. Within the site all movements have been identified with defined pedestrian
access materials. There are defined pedestrian links from the main intersections and
walkways throughout the development and around the pond. He reviewed all of the
pedestrian movements in the development.
Koenig stated the variance for building height was likely similar to the existing for
the parking garage.
Scott stated they would likely not be taller than the parking garage.
Koenig requested review of the access to Krispy Kreme.
Scott stated straight through the parking garage as well as the primary access point
for all of the restaurants.
Sodt asked about Krispy Kreme's priority goal in development.
Scott explained visibility was important as well as location and access. Access
keeps customers coming back; this is important for all of the clients. They are
comfortable that the access is sufficient. Traffic control measures will be in place in
the early opening stages if it is a concern.
Seymour inquired about the construction schedule and the area between transit and
residential.
Scott stated the parking garage was currently under construction and will be
complete this fall. The existing bus turnaround facility will stay with the transit
authority. There is no immediate construction activity planned for this portion of the
site. With the overall phasing they will need to be careful they do not disrupt
existing businesses.He reviewed phasing. They will grade and update the area near
the Pickled Parrot;when this is complete Pickled Parrot will have a parking area to
use.Immediate construction is planned. The general timeline varies,but in 18-24
months residential will be complete.Retail will begin this fall with hopes to have all
tenants open in the summer.

Seymour asked about the fill area by Highway 5.
Scott stated it is MNDOT right of way;they've applied for a permit to landscape.
Most of the property will be turned back to the City. They would like to grade and
fill,then manicure the landscape up to Prairie Center Drive.
Nelson asked about the 15 foot setback with the townhomes and how far from the
street they would be.
Franzen stated it was 15 feet from the right of way line and 15-20 feet from the
property line to the curb line.
Nelson inquired whether CMU block was an acceptable material to use on the
residential buildings. She would like its use to be revisited.
Franzen stated no more than 25%would be acceptable.
Scott noted issues with soil conditions were a concern.The CMU is for structural
purposes. It is not all CMU block;there are different design elements. They have
brought in metal and stucco.
Nelson inquired about the west driveway;the garbage area is near a main entrance—
she inquired whether it would be screened.
Scott stated trash would be fully enclosed within the building and would be brought
out only at time of pickup.
Foote asked when the parking ramp would be complete.
Scott stated in October or November.
Foote expressed concern about the parking,which was minimal. He inquired
whether existing parking would be disturbed during building.
Scott stated access must be open at all times. Temporary relocation would take
place.
Nelson stated people are going onto the busses at all times of the day; safety should
be a consideration at all times.
Scott stated they would provide construction barricades and safety.
Koenig noted they had requested several variances; she asked about green space
and landscaping.

Scott explained green space on the housing side was incorporated; there is a large
outdoor courtyard. The buildings were pulled back for the most part. They created
additional park area. On the commercial side they were seeking waivers on most of
the outlying buildings. They are set back from the road but want setback waivers
from the property line to address parking. Landscaping and decorative fencing has
been provided.
Koenig inquired about the permit for MNDOT.
Scott stated it could be utilized in the future for expansion; the permit was

First Reading of an Ordinance amending City
Office of City Manager Code Section 2.05, Subd. 3,relating to Mayor and X .1
Councilmember Salaries
Requested Action:
Move to: Approve First Reading of an Ordinance amending City Code Section 2.05, Subd. 3,
relating to Mayor and Councilmember salaries; and adopting by reference City Code Chapter 1
and Section 11.99 which,among other things,contain penalty provisions.
Synopsis:
The proposed ordinance will codify the City expenditure process changes incorporated in the
resolution considered by the Council at the October 1,2002 meeting. The ordinance is necessary
because the resolution may be considered an increase in compensation to City Councilmembers,
although the contents of this resolution represent no actual change to the benefits received by
Eden Prairie elected officials. The resolution is being considered by the Council at the
recommendation of the City Attorney to conform our current practices to recently announced
findings from the Office of the State Auditor's investigation of the City of Brooklyn Park.
State law requires that changes to the compensation of City Councilmembers must be adopted
prior to an election and implemented after an election. The ordinance will be considered at the
October 1st and 15th Council meetings and will be effective January 1,2003. This timeline will
satisfy state statutes on this matter.
The City Manager recommends the Council approve the first reading of this ordinance.

Subject: Mutual Aid to Minneapolis
•
As you are aware,the City of Minneapolis is hosting the International Association of Chiefs of
Police conference October 5—9,2002. The Minneapolis Police Department requested assistance
from law enforcement agencies throughout the State for security and hospitality.
A number of our volunteer Reserve Officers and Chaplains will be assisting with various "non-
sworn"duties such as staffing information booths. Additionally our ERU Team will be
highlighted at the opening ceremony in a showcase of Minnesota Law Enforcement.
•
Recently the Minneapolis Police Department made an urgent plea asking for assistance with the
security side of the event. The security for this event has changed dramatically since September
• 11, 2001. In addition.to the large number of delegates representing law enforcement agencies
from around the world they anticipate.appearances by a number of high ranking Justice
Department Officials. The need for additional staff moved to another step with the recent
scheduling of the Major League Baseball playoff games. As you might assume,Minneapolis is
responsible for security at those games also.
We, along with many of our neighbors,have agreed to send several officers to assist with
security at the Conference Center. Aside from the stated need,this is one of very few
opportunities that we get to repay Minneapolis Police Department for their assistance to our City
over the years,when we have called upon them.
The Minneapolis Police Department has requested that we sign the attached Mutual kid
Agreement for this event. The agreement has been reviewed by our City Attorney. Mr.Rosow
has suggested that, due to the timing,you sign the agreement and hand carry it to the Council
meeting on October 1,2002. I apologize for submitting this late for the meeting and assure that
this is not our practice. However, the need to assist Minneapolis has changed over the past few
days.
