I. CALL MEETING TO ORDER
Mayor Tyra-Lukens called the meeting to order at 4:15 p.m.
II. APPROVAL OF AGENDA
III. SECOND HAND-SMOKE
Tyra-Lukens said there were several items to address before beginning discussion of a
second-hand smoke ordinance. City Attorney Rosow would comment on
communications he and the Council had received over the past few days, Councilmember
Mosman would show a short video that explores both sides of the smoking issue, and
Councilmember Luse would present some prepared comments.
Rosow said several matters had come to his attention over the past few days indicating
the level of pressure the Council is under. Rosow said in the spirit of openness he wanted
to share these matters with the public. He distributed a document he prepared in response
to several of these communications,to help the Council"act as they are supposed to,"
without undue pressure.
• Rosow referenced a letter written to him that was critical of his representation of the
City. Rosow said the letter indicated that his response to questions about MPAAT
lobbying"only confirmed your limited understanding of the impropriety of MPAAT
actions and the magnitude of the court's order." Rosow said he continues to believe
he has represented the Council well and will not confine his opinions based on this
letter. Councilmember Case asked the name of the letter writer. Rosow said the
letter was from Thomas Briant, an Eden Prairie resident and attorney. Council-
member Luse said he believes Briant may be a paid tobacco lobbyist. Case said he
thought it was important to for the press to know who wrote the letter and their
affiliations.

• Rosow said City Manager Neal reported he attended a meeting Monday morning with
Mayor Tyra-Lukens and a citizen regarding the smoking issue. Rosow said it was his
understanding that this individual stated that he"knew things he did not want to have
to make public." The person said he would not make these things public if the
Council agreed to his version of a smoking ordinance. Rosow reiterated that he
• strongly believes the best way to proceed is in an open manner. Case asked the name
of the citizen. Rosow said the person was Paul Wendorff. Case asked if Wendorff's
statement constituted blackmail. Rosow said he had analyzed the incident only in the
context of civil law, and was mainly concerned with advising the Council how best to
proceed with their discussion of a smoking ordinance.
• Rosow said a Milwaukee law firm, Whyte,Hirschboeck Dudek S.C., e-mailed to him
a copy of a letter to Councilmember Luse. The letter said it had been brought to their
attention that Luse had publicly questioned the legality of some American Cancer
Society activities. The letter put Luse on notice to refrain from further public
comment questioning ACS activities. Rosow said he had received the letter just that
afternoon and hadn't had much time to look into it. He said he asked one of his
partners to do some research and advise the Council on how such a letter might limit
Councilmember Luse's ability to comment publicly on the smoking ordinance issue.
Rosow said their research indicated that those in the Federal government have
unqualified immunity with regard to public comments. On the other hand, the City
Council has what Rosow termed"qualified"immunity for comments made within the
context of Council meetings. The State extends conditional privilege to Council-
members,which is only overridden in cases where malice,ill-will or wanton
recklessness can be proven. Rosow said this gives the Councilmembers broad
latitude in their comments.
Rosow said in a democracy, the Council is one of the places where debate occurs, and
this is as it should be. The second-hand smoking issue has been very contentious, and the
public needs to know the Council has and is operating in the full light of public scrutiny.
Councilmember Mosman said she would show a few minutes from a video of the 6:00
news in New York City on August 1,2002. Mosman said the video shows government
and business working together for clean air. She said second-hand smoke is the only one
of 16 top carcinogens that is not addressed by regulations. She said she considers what
the Council is proposing as living up to a new standard that is essential for health,rather
than"regulation." Mosman said the issue is not one of"freedoms"but rather one of a
toxic inhalant that is making us sick. She said she is not"against" smokers,but actually
considers them victims as well. She said Minnesota spends $1.6 billion on healthcare
costs associated with smoking. The number of people dying from second-hand smoke is
equal to three 747 jets going down each day with no survivors. If an ordinance saves one
life, the Council would be remiss if they didn't do something. She hopes the Council is
able to pass something concrete, even if it is small to begin with.
Councilmember Luse read a statement he said he had distributed to the press and shared
with the Mayor and City Manager earlier that day. Luse said the Council is five people,
just like any other residents of Eden Prairie. Luse said he did not believe the Council
should spend time or money on Wendorff's request for a task force to investigate its
conduct. He felt Wendorff was bringing politics into the discussion, seemed to have
some sort of"weird conspiracy theory," and was throwing around a lot of inaccurate
innuendos.He said this behavior was not appropriate. He said it is apparent that
Wendoiff is against smoking regulation, and if this is the case he should just say so.
Regarding the letter from the American Cancer Society's law firm, Luse said he always
strives to "say it the way it is." He regrets if Isis Stark misunderstood anything he had
said in recent months. He said he has been honest and up front all along with his
concerns about MPAAT's lobbying activities. Althougji the Council has received
criticism about"moving too fast" on an ordinance, Luse said he believes they have
proceeded in a fair and reasonable manner that has included open debate. He said he
feels it was a mistake to start the discussion with an all-inclusive,hypothetical ordinance.
Luse said he would like to bring discussion on a smoking ban to a resolution at this
meeting. He said he was proposing a total ban on smoking indoors. The bar portions of
restaurants would be exempt from regulations until January 2004, giving them time to
prepare for the changes. He recommended creation of a task force that would include the
Chamber, residents, and business owners. This task force would develop a non-profit
fund to promote Eden Prairie as a great place to live,work and do business. He would
like to see $1 million raised to promote the positive aspects of smoke-free environments.
Luse said he was wary of any compromises because it would be very hard to craft a fair
and effective one. He emphasized that there is no "what's next" aspect to the issue. The
City will not be banning Krispy Kreme donuts or other fast food. He said the Council
supports Eden Prairie's businesses,which provide 50 percent of the City's tax base.
Luse also proposed that the City apply to MPAAT for a$4 million to $6 million grant to
help Eden Prairie residents and workers quit smoking. Luse said he is an appointed
official, and as such he would like to stress that his fellow Councilmembers are a"bunch
of good family people who just want to give back to the town."
Mayor Tyra-Lukens said it sounds as if Luse and Mosman were proposing stricter
regulations than those the Council had agreed to at the previous meeting. She asked for
input from the other Councilmembers. Councilmember Butcher said that the issue is very
complex,but everyone is concerned with public health. The question is how far the
Council should go in regulating second-hand smoke. She said she still believes the City
should regulate smoking in the areas it owns together with residents—City facilities and
open spaces. She is not comfortable regulating businesses that are already following
State laws. She recommended a best practices review panel of people with all different
points of view. This panel would set goals and standards for voluntary compliance.
Luse said he respects Butcher's opinion,that he also has put a lot of consideration into
the personal choice and business components of the smoking discussion. He said he
doesn't think a best practices panel is necessary,because the Council has had more than
adequate input both from local residents as well as from around the country. He said he
believes the majority of the Council wants to pass a smoking ban that will be effective
but not hurt business. He doesn't believe the matter should be left to the"free market,"
and that any ordinance must have"meat to it."
5
Butcher said she respects Luse's perspective,but there are different ways to do the right
thing. She said this is about doing what the Council reasonably can do,which is why she
wants a panel to explore options.
Case said he agrees with about 80 percent of what Luse said and even more so with
Butcher. Case believes the best approach is to wrap the issue up in the positive,which he
doesn't think is possible if the government begins regulating business. He said they all
agreed that it comes down to a health issue. Case said he didn't feel the Council should
go beyond the comfort level of the people. Case said he strongly believes a one-question
survey would have indicated a majority approving of a smoking ban—but, one that
doesn't hurt business. Case said that he feels there has been a shift in public opinion
about the smoking debate over the past couple of weeks. People are saying they are tired
of hearing about the issue. They are also commending the Council for the consensus they
reached at the last meeting to ban smoking from publicly-owned facilities and pledging to
support the cause. Case said it is important to remember it is an election year. All of the
non-incumbent Council candidates have stated they are not in favor of smoking
regulation. Even if the Council votes now to pass an ordinance with a likely 3-2 vote,the
ordinance may well be overturned by a new Council in January. If this happens,no other
cities will touch this issue for years to come. Case asked the Council to find a way to
pass a"copyable"ordinance that the Council and the community could support and could
serve as a model for other communities. He said restaurant owners are saying they want
to improve air quality, and he believes it.
Butcher said she believes a ban on smoking in all publicly owned places would be strong.
Luse said he respectfully disagreed. Luse said,based on input he has received, for the
Council not to pass a strong smoking ban would be worse than doing nothing at all. As a
businessperson he does not believe the Council should have gone through all of this pain
without something positive coming out of it. He said it would be important to prove that
business will not be hurt by a smoking ordinance. He asked the City to earmark
$100,000 by the end of the year to kick off an advertising campaign promoting smoke-
free Eden Prairie. He said as a businessperson he would pledge the first $10,000. He
challenged the Council to "celebrate Eden Prairie for all that it is." Case said his
impression is that public opinion has polarized at about 50 percent for a ban and 50
percent against it. Luse said he believes a majority of residents favor a ban.
Mayor Tyra-Lukens said before this Workshop it appeared that she and Councilmember
Mosman were leaning toward heavier restrictions with Councilmember Case as a swing
vote. Now it appears that Tyra-Lukens holds the swing vote. She said she had spent a
tough two days thinking about the situation, and she would like to see a better outcome
than a 3-2 vote. To clarify her position, she said it is necessary to "get personal." She
said it is widely known that she believes that regulating second-hand smoke is a public
health issue. She said she is not a political person, and that she has served as a
Councilmember and Mayor as a service to the community. She said she is willing to
sacrifice her position for the cause,but is not willing to sacrifice the cause. She is not
convinced that passing an ordinance that would be overturned by a new Council is the
right thing to do. She likes the idea of working together positively toward a common
goal.
6
Tyra-Lukens said that while those who are in favor of an ordinance have been generally
respectful. The opposition has behaved so disrespectfully she doesn't allow her teenage
daughter to answer the phone in their home. She said one citizen has taken the issue to
the newspapers with all kinds of innuendoes. It is her understanding these tactics are
typical of groups who have opposed similar ordinances in other communities. She said
her meeting with Paul Wendoiff on Monday morning is an example of what is really
going wrong with this issue. She said she doesn't believe passing an ordinance on a 3-2
votes will change the situation. She said she is okay with losing the race for Mayor if
necessary,but she worries what will happen in January with a new Council. She has
consequently gone from favoring strict regulations to wanting to promote a positive,
consensus-building process. She would rather work toward getting voluntary compliance
and have Eden Prairie be a leader to surrounding communities.
Councilmember Case said he would still like to pass an ordinance banning smoking from
City-owned facilities and properties. He said they can discuss the second part,
developing guidelines and bringing community members into the process later. Mosman
said that propaganda circulated in recent weeks has raised so much unfounded fear and
concern that the Council has no choice but to consider backing up.
Rosow said he wanted to clarify which portions of the discussion the Council wished to
move on. He said he had drafted an ordinance to regulate smoking in publicly-owned
places based on Council direction at the last meeting. The Council could chose to discuss
this draft and put it on the Council meeting agenda for a vote. Ordinances require two
readings and two votes,usually at separate Council meetings. If the Council chooses to
do the first and second readings at the same meeting, a unanimous vote is required for
approval. Case said he would like staff to be directed to prepare an ordinance and a
resolution. He would also like to set a workshop date to discuss further steps. Luse
asked if someone would clarify the consensus reached. Tyra-Lukens said they had
reaffirmed what they had agreed on at the last meeting—to consider an ordinance
banning smoking at City-owned facilities and a resolution asking the state to consider the
issue.
IV. OTHER TOPICS
Council Chamber
V. OPEN FORUM (Scheduled participants, 6:30-6:50 p.m.)
A. STRONG SCHOOLS REFERENDUM
Caroline Sweeny,with the Strong Schools volunteer group kicked off the
presentation. She outlined the School District's need for funding. Acting
Superintendent Dr.Melissa Krull explained the rationale behind the Strong
Schools referendum theme. She said the district is receiving inadequate funding
from the State and the operating levy($3 million per year for seven years)would
help bridge the shortfall. Executive Director of Business Services Patricia
Magnuson also reviewed the financial situation and compared the amount spent
per student in Eden Prairie to surrounding communities. She said Eden Prairie is
the lowest spending school district in Hennepin County. School Board Director
r
Carol Bomben asked the Council and community to support the referendum and
vote"yes"on November 5.
VI. OPEN PODIUM(Unscheduled participants,6:50-7:00 p.m.)
Gary Diamond spoke on behalf of"Trails Without Rails", a citizen group opposing the
building of LRT through Eden Prairie on the old railroad right-of-way(which is owned
by Hennepin County). Diamond presented a Resolution the group is asking the Council
to adopt. Doug Henke and Mike Hall also spoke against Hennepin County conducting a
study of possible transit rail routes that might include the current LRT recreational trail in
Eden Prairie. City Manager Neal said he would meet with Mr.Diamond before the next
Council meeting to review ways in which"Trails Without Rails"can proceed with their
requests.

Following the Pledge of Allegiance, City Manager Scott Neal announced the departure of Police

announced the appointment of Clark's successor, Captain Dan Carlson,who will start his position in

Police. He said the city has a quality organization based on cooperative efforts of its Police, Staff
and City.Council.
III. RESOLUTION IN SUPPORT OF THE EDEN PRAIRIE SCHOOLS REFERENDUM
Mosman read and moved adoption of Resolution No. 2002-158, a resolution encouraging
citizens to support the Eden Prairie School District's request for voter support of a new
operating levy.
Case said residents choose Eden Prairie schools because they have a perception of a quality
community.He said this referendum will barely keep the school district above water if it
passes. He said communities that value their quality of life pass referendums. Case said he
wants his opinion to be known and will vote yes on the referendum,but as a schoolteacher,
he will abstain from voting on this resolution to remove any perception of conflict of interest.
Mosman noted the importance of continuing to talk to friends and neighbors about the
referendum so as to make everyone aware of it. Butcher thanked all those involved in
working on the referendum. She said it is very clear what is being asked and what the needs
are.

234 apartment units, a 5,222 SF Culvers restaurant, a 4,725 SF Krispy Kreme, a 6,500

recommendations of the staff report dated September 6,2002.
Neal said Mike Franzen is representing Staff tonight and Jay Scott from North
American Properties is also present.Franzen stated the waivers are specific to the site
plan and Staff is in support of the project. Jay Scott gave an overview of the project
and emphasized strong pedestrian walkways and connections within the project.
Tyra-Lukens,Luse and Butcher expressed support of the project. There were no
comments from the public.
MOTION: Case moved, seconded by Butcher,to close the Public Hearing. Motion
carried 5-0.
Case expressed concern about people traveling east to enter Culver's or the Transit
Hub.He asked if there is a way to make a median cut that is a left turn only,not a left
turn out,but a left turn in.Dietz strongly recommended the median stay the way it is
because of safety issues, and widening the road would lead to additional expense.

X. ORDINANCES AND RESOLUTIONS
A. RESOLUTION NO. 2002-167 PERTAINING TO EXPENDITURE OF CITY
FUNDS
City Manager Scott Neal said the proposed resolution was prepared in the wake of the
Office of State Auditor's (OSA) report and findings in their investigation of the City
of Brooklyn Park. The OSA's primary criticism is that a number of City expenditure
processes and practices were not specifically authorized by the City Council. The
proposed resolution will provide formal written authorization by the City Council for
a number of City expenses and expenditure processes that were questioned by the
OSA in Brooklyn Park. The proposed resolution was prepared by the Office of the
City Attorney in consultation with City staff. The City Manager recommends its
approval by the City Council.
Luse noted this has nothing to do with an increase in salaries to the current Council.
MOTION: Mosman moved to adopt Resolution No. 2002-167 pertaining to
expenditure of City funds. Seconded by Butcher, motion carried 5-0.
B. FIRST READING OF AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CITY CODE SECTION
2.05 RELATING TO MAYOR AND COUNCILMEMBER SALARIES
City Manager Scott Neal said the proposed ordinance will codify the City expenditure
process changes incorporated in Resolution No.2002-167. The ordinance is
CITY COUNCIL MINEJTES
October 1,2002
Page 6
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.Neal recommended
the Council approve the first reading of this ordinance.
Tyra-Lukens clarified this pertains not to salaries,but to things such as Council-
members meals at meetings.Neal stated despite the title of the ordinance,there is no
increase in Councilmembers' salaries.
MOTION: Case moved 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. Seconded by Butcher, motion carried 5-0.
C. DISCUSSION ON FIRST READING OF A DRAFT SMOKEFREE AIR
ORDINANCE
Tyra-Lukens announced that a two-hour discussion was held prior to this meeting
where Council discussed what they wanted to do with the proposed smoking
ordinance. She said Council decided to go forth with voluntary compliance with a lot
of leadership on the part of Council to get businesses to comply with the voluntary
compliance program.
Case noted there were five different viewpoints shared by the Council pertaining to
this issue.
Luse asked the City Attorney to share information from the workshop earlier tonight.
Rosow stated he submitted to the Council tonight a written document,made part of
the record at the workshop,in response to the request for investigation and questions
posed regarding the draft of the smokefree ordinance.He said the document answers
all questions in the request for investigation. He said this week there have been three
communications in various forms that led him to make the statement at the workshop
regarding the atmosphere in which the smokefree ordinance is to be made and the
pressure the Council is under. He said the Council has said many times that this is an
open process,with public meetings and numerous presentations.
Rosow said one of the statements, from city resident Thomas Briant,dated 9/27/02
and received yesterday,was directed at him as a criticism of his representation of the
CounciL He said Briant represents the Minnesota Accommodation Association,the
Minnesota Restaurant Association and the Cigarette Manufacturers Association.
��l
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
October 1,2002
Page 7
Rosow read Briant's comments regarding Rosow's response to MPAAT lobbying and
that impact on the Council's ability to go forward. Rosow said he and the Council are
open to any criticism,but criticism issued in the context of pressure will not change
the manner in which he gives opinions. Rosow said the activities of MPAAT do not
affect this Council's ability or authority to discuss and/or take action on a smokefree
ordinance.
Rosow further stated there was a meeting held yesterday between the City Manager,
the Mayor and city resident Paul Wendorff who requested that the investigation occur.
It was reported to Rosow by the City Manager that at the meeting,Mr. Wendorff told
the Mayor he knew things about the Council consideration of the ordinance that he did
not want to have to make public. Wendorff said he did not want to have to release the
information publicly if the Council would agree to his version of a compromise on the
issue. Rosow said again this is an example of the pressure Council is under with
respect to this issue and the best way to deal with it is to let the public know.
Rosow said the third communication, a letter in the form of an e-mail,received just
before leaving the office,was addressed to Luse and copied to Rosow, from Attorney
Daniel Welytokof the lawfirm White,Whyte,Hirschboeck Dudek S.C. of Milwaukee,
Wisconsin. Rosow said the firm represents the American Cancer Society Midwest
Division, and requested Luse refrain from further public comment as the statements
he was alleged to have made are uninformed and misleading. Rosow said there is an
absolute immunity from any action brought against a senator or congressman,in
anything they say, whether it's truthful or not,whether it's intentionally untruthful or
whether it's malicious for whatever happens on the floor of the United States Senate
and United States House of Representatives. Rosow said the public purpose behind
that concept is that is the place where the debate in America takes place before a law
is enacted and there should be no limit on the freedom of speech in those halls.
Rosow said that public policy also carries down to bodies like the State, County and
this Council. He said as long as statements are made in good faith and are not
willfully malicious or made with carelessness and reckless abandon,then there is a
qualified immunity from action that anyone would take against you.Rosow advised
Council to feel free to express their opinions,provided it is done in good faith and
without malice. He said from everything he has seen since April,that is the way the
debate has been conducted thus far. Rosow urged Council not to be deterred by letters
telling Council to cease and refrain from making further public comment. He said it is
Council's duty to make public comment.
Luse submitted the following written comment for the record:
David Luse-Smoking Issues Statements
October 1,2002
(presented at Eden Prairie City Council meeting 10/01/02)
We have a challenge to how we've handled this effort to craft a smoking ban,from Paul
Wendorff.He asks for a task force to investigate our conduct as a Council.I don't want to
spend a lot of time on this challenge,because I think it is simply wrong.Mr. Wendoiff who
initially indicated he is a concerned citizen and most recently indicates 20-30 concerned
individuals has lobbied me.

CITY COUNCIL MINUTES

Paul,I've got to tell you,Ijust think you're way off base on this one, and you're bringing in
more politics that will obscure rather than clarify issues. You're engaging in some sort of
weird conspiracy theory here and throwing around lots of inaccurate innuendos. You've got a
point of view on the smoking ban-you don't want it-why don't you just say it straight out
and leave off the rest of the conspiracy theories.
Of course I'm aware of how MPAAT has used the tobacco settlement money to lobby, but I
firmly disagree with you that this Council has done anything wrong. We have worked in good
faith to find a way to solve a public health problem. We have debated and searched for the
right way to balance health, individual freedom and economic issues.And we have brought a
political storm into our city.I was concerned from the outset that the political aspects of this
effort would be divisive and would distract our attention from other equally important issues,
and that has happened.Now a group claims we have moved too fast, that we jumped from
considering a task force to considering a sample ordinance.And this same group says some
of those lobbying the council have acted illegally and unethically.
I have, throughout this process, been the one to push several times for more information to
clarify what our constituents want and what will stand up to legal challenge.I have slowed
this process down myself,for the reasons I thought, and still think, were sound.But I have
absolutely no doubt that how we have proceeded is fair and responsible.Moving ahead to
have a draft ordinance is a perfectly reasonable way to clarify the issues and to advance the
debate.It gave us something to look at and work with, and gave residents something specific
to react to.I have consulted our city attorney, and he agrees that we have One at this in a
way that is perfectly fair and legal.
If this group has a concern about some of the organizations that have lobbied on this issue,
that's a concern to be taken up with them and with state authorities-we do not regulate how
people conduct their lobbying efforts. We do control how we conduct our business, and we
have done a fine job on a tough issue.
Of course I don't object to this challenge. We are always open to criticism and we must
conduct public business in the open-and we have.I just think he's adding two plus two and
coming up with ten.
Let's look at the smoking ban issues on their own merits and let lobbying issues play out in
the courts and with the attorney general. We're making decisions here based on what we
think is best for the people of Eden Prairie.
Smoking Ban
To bring this smoking ban to a resolution,I am now proposing that, after all our debate and
thought on this issue, we proceed with a ban on smoking. We can work together to promote
our smoke free community.Let's promote the positive side of this issue and make this step
toward better health work for everyone.Let's make sure we help the businesses that are
concerned about losing customers, and let's get this done.
Stop Smoking Grant
I would also propose that the City of Eden Prairie apply to MPAAT for a grant to fund
educational programs that will help people stop smoking. There's been a great deal of
controversy over how the MPAAT money has been spent.Many people including myself felt it
was inappropriate forMPAAT to be spending the tobacco settlement money to lobby for
smoking bans.MPAAT is now being directed to spend money on smoking cessation efforts,
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
October 1,2002
Page 9
and I think that makes sense.
The programs would help Eden Prairie residents and people who work in Eden Prairie
businesses stop smoking. The programs provide educational material, counseling and access
to stop-smoking aids.
We should apply for four to six million dollars for programs for the residents of Eden Prairie.
I believe that's a fair share for our city, and it will help us deal effectively with a serious
public health issue. While we consider finalizing restrictions on smoking today, let's also go
to the source and try to help people quit smoking. This way of spending the tobacco settlement
money would bring a great return in the health of the people of Eden Prairie.
Case said he wants to pursue an ordinance where all Councilmembers agree that
smoking could be limited in municipally controlled public areas. In addition he said
he would like to direct Staff to set a workshop date soon.
Butcher said she would like creating some kind of panel or best practices review task
force to be a part of whatever is forged tonight. She commended her colleagues for
taking on the issue and being so concerned about the health of residents. She said she
is very comfortable with voluntary compliance.
Mosman said she does not see the ordinance as regulation, she sees it as rising to a
health standard. She does not see it as a ruling that would hurt businesses because of
all the data that has been submitted-some finding that it would help businesses. She
said 75 percent of voters in a poll sponsored by the Smokefree Coalition indicated
they would choose a smoke-free restaurant over one that permits smoking.
Mosman said she would like to have a'fund raising effort to apply for MPAAT money
to promote businesses who choose to go along with the ordinance.
Luse noted it's important to understand the amount of time and energy spent on this
issue.
Case requested that Council be given a draft with changes in a Friday packet, and also
begin looking at setting a date for a workshop to work out details on developing a task
force or group. Case suggested sending Items X.C.,D. and E. back to Staff for the
next meeting. Case said he believes three Councilmembers have agreed to regulate
only municipal properties with smoke-free environments as well as partner with
everyone who wants to improve the air quality.He said he thinks everything can be
accomplished through positive routes. Case said Council's intention is not to regulate
business,but at the same time they will not give up the fight because there are
substantive quantifiable goals that can be accomplished.
Rosow said the draft ordinance deals with City facilities and parks, all owned,leased
and operated by the City,including motor vehicles.Butcher asked if this would apply
to people smoking in their vehicles on City property.Rosow said under this
ordinance, if the vehicle is on City property,the answer is yes.
CITY COUNCIL MINUTES
October 1,2002

Butcher said comments from Staff-should be incorporated when discussing the
ordinance. Tyra-Lukens suggested those comments be submitted to Mr.Neal by next
Monday.
Case said it is important to have an ordinance to give the City the power to remove
smoking from public grounds. He said the ordinance needs to be complete—
prohibiting smoking on City property or grounds. He doesn't believe there should not
be an outdoor smoking area on.City grounds and does not believe people should be
allowed to smoke in their vehicles on City property.
Tyra-Lukens said consistency with School District smoking policy would be a good
idea and would solve some of the problems related to enforcement in certain areas.
Neal said there have been communications and discussions with the School District
regarding their policy and compliance.
Luse said there should be a way to get to the group that will be formed to work
together with concerned business people and citizens, and there would be more of a
chance of collaboration in the future. He said he wonders if there is a way to craft the
ordinance that we do want to ban smoking in public places but somehow deal with the
indoor/outdoor component.
Butcher suggested drafting two ordinances - one that is more restrictive and one that is
less restrictive. Mosman said it would seem much fairer to have a designated area for
workers to smoke on property.
MOTION: Case moved to direct Staff to draft options for an ordinance that will ban
smoking from municipal buildings and grounds and parks; and direct Staff to set a
date for a workshop to develop a charge for a task force that would work on smoke-
free indoor air initiatives. Seconded by Butcher, motion carried 5-0.
Councilmembers agreed that the ordinance would be enacted January 2003.
Rosow clarified that at this point, Council has directed Staff to prepare an ordinance,
not passed one. He said the decision on the ordinance has not been made.

has created a difficulty for the Minneapolis Police Department in that they had made a
substantial commitment to the International Association of Chiefs of Police(IACP)
conference being held Oct. 5-9,2002 in Minneapolis. Therefore the City of
Minneapolis has asked suburban police departments to assist them and provide
officers under a mutual aid agreement during this time.Neal said officers will get
floor privileges at the conference.

Case noted that there are many beliefs of people living along the light rail line
that the Council adheres to also,and he's not sure that for the good of the
people of Eden Prairie it's necessarily a good idea to put the rail line down on •
that route. Case said he agrees that all transit options need to be considered in
a broad view and not necessarily channeled into one thought.He said light rail
line should go to Transit first.He said with precious few funds,the City
should first completely fund roadways,then completely fund buses. Case also
said he believes the County and City share many of the same goals.
Butcher said there is a tradition of excellence in the Southwest Transit Bus
Service, and she supports the staff idea that there is an alignment that will
better deal with the critical mass of people that we are planning for in the
community. Butcher said it needs to be taken one step at a time and she
supports alignment of the Golden Triangle and Prairie Center Drive.
Luse pointed out that part of the proposal was City ownership of that space,
and it's also important for residents to understand that there are governmental
forces at work in these that are beyond the Council's reach. He said citizen
input has made a huge difference in bringing the issue along.
Case said there is a role Council should look at playing. He said he would like
to see the Council make a statement on the issue.
Luse said the City has to be in a position to make a stand,potentially
financially at some point in the future.
B. REPORT OF CITY MANAGER
1. REPORT ON FINANCES OF THE PROPOSED SOUTH METRO
PUBLIC SAFETY TRAINING CENTER PROJECT
City Manager Scott Neal submitted a memo, dated October 1, 2002, to the
Council prior to tonight's meeting regarding this project.Neal said the purpose
was to inform Council of the status of the project. He said the City has
committed $1.4 million to the project,partnering with Edina,Bloomington
and MAC, and bids have come in higher than expected. Therefore to complete
the City's share of the project costs, an additional $115,926 needs to be
appropriated.Neal noted that Don Uram has identified the availability of the
additional funds from within the City's current Capital Improvement Plan. At
this time,Neal said there is no formal action requested,but he is seeking
Council support so that the necessary motion can be prepared.
Luse asked why the cost estimates were so far under the contractors' or
engineers'estimates.Neal noted that because of Federal funds present in the
project,prevailing wage had to be paid which reduced the number of
contractors that could bid on it.He said there was,therefore, a reduced supply
of contractors initially that were eligible to bid on the project.He said overall
there were not a great number of bids for the project.

the US Navy website in the government category. Thomas thanked Council and City
Staff for their support on the development of the website.
Tyra-Lukens asked Thomas what he thought tipped the award in Eden Prairie's favor.
He said there are seven things that are looked at,including graphic design, degree of
innovation, content, technology,interactivity,navigation and ease of view. He said he
doesn't think there is any one factor,but a combination of a lot of different factors.

•
Requested Council Action:
Move to: Amend Professional Services Agreement with Endurant Business Solutions for City Website
Synopsis:
On June 18,the City Council approved a professional services agreement with Endurant Business
Solutions to design the City's website. Endurant committed to meet and/or exceed the requirements of
the City's RFP at the previous low contract price of$65,000. The final project cost totals $93,312.50.
Following are reasons for this cost variance:
1. The initial project requirements were defined fall 2001 and the project went to RFP in February
2002. The City learned a great deal since that time and project requirements continued to
evolve.
2. The Ittrium Origo content management tool was recommended as a strategic long term
platform for the City to utilize and was provided over and above the requirements of the RFP.
The cost to acquire was$25,000.
3. The Origo content management tool will be used for multiple Web projects by the City. It will
be the cornerstone for how we organize and track document for the City.
4. Endurant assisted City staff in organizing and formatting the web pages to be released in the
initial redesign launch (August 14th)
5. Without Endurant's help, the City would not have made the launch date. Endurant and City
Staff spent over 1,000 hours on the project.
6. Endurant assisted in designing, architecting and implementing an innovative, award winning
site. The Web Marketing Association recognized the City of Eden Praire's site as
"Outstanding"in the Government sector.
7. Much of what the City has learned on this project will be helpful(and reusable) for the City's
Economic Development Web initiative.
Not including software,the consulting cost on the project was$68,312.50. The overall project cost falls within
the other proposal's submitted to the City that ranged in price from $65,000 to $250,000. Staff budgeted
$100,000 for the website project.

Assistant City Engineer
CITY OF EDEN PRAIRIE

Eden Prairie, MN 55344
Dear Rod:
SUBJECT: PROPOSAL FOR PROFESSIONAL ENGINEERING SERVICES FOR
ANDERSON LAKES PARKWAY AND PRESERVE BOULEVARD
ROADWAY IMPROVEMENTS
As requested, we are pleased to,submit this proposal for professional engineering services for the
preliminary design of the improvements to the referenced roadways. We understand that the
City would like to develop a layout of the permanent roadway design in this area. In addition, the
City would like to review some interim design alternatives for the intersection that would improve
traffic flow through the area and have fewer impacts than construction of the ultimate geometrics.
The ultimate improvements would include reconstructing Preserve Boulevard between Anderson
Lakes Parkway and Westwind Drive to a four-lane divided roadway, with turn lanes as needed.
It also would include reconstructing Anderson Lakes Parkway to a four-lane divided roadway with
turn lanes at Preserve Boulevard. The four-lane divided section would tie into the existing two-lane
undivided section and the limits of reconstruction would likely fall between Homeward Hills Road
and Center Way.
The attached General Conditions will be incorporated into the Professional Services Agreement.
PROJECT DESIGN ISSUES
In 1994, SRF assisted the City of Eden Prairie in the reconstruction of the Anderson Lakes
Parkway/Preserve Boulevard intersection. The improvements included roadway widening to add
turn lanes and the construction of a permanent traffic signal. Through our involvement with the
prior design work and after reviewing the current conditions, we have identified the following key
design issues that we feel are significant:
• We have observed high traffic volumes and turning movements at this intersection,especially in
the morning and afternoon peaks. We anticipate even higher traffic volumes when school is in
session.

An Equal Opportunity Employer ''—,
Mr.Rod W.Rue,P.E. -2- October 2,2002 -
• There are four large Xcel Energy above ground cabinets located within the project area just
behind the curb on the south side of Anderson Lakes Parkway east of Preserve Boulevard.
These cabinets will probably need to be moved to accommodate a wider roadway section.
Early planning and coordination with Xcel Energy will be important to develop a reasonable
construction schedule.
• There is a pedestrian underpass under Anderson Lakes Parkway, approximately 500 feet east
of Preserve Boulevard. This corrugated steel underpass will likely have to be extended to
accommodate roadway widening.
• Depending on'the project limits, the roadway widening may impact adjacent wetlands, trails
and possibly the Eden Lake School Park. This will likely require additional coordination
with the Parks Department, the School District and the Watershed District.
• The proposed median on Preserve Boulevard and Anderson Lakes Parkway may restrict
access on some driveways and local streets to right-in and right-out only. This potential
access modification may require neighborhood informational meetings to review the
proposed improvements.
• There is a civil defense siren at the southwest corner of the intersection. The operation of the
siren will have to be accounted for during project development and maintained during
construction. Otherwise,the siren should be relocated outside of the project limits.
• There will likely be a substantial amount of right-of-way acquisition required depending on
the proposed roadway geometries and storm water ponding requirements. Since property
acquisition can often be a very time-consuming process, it will be important to identify
• permanent and temporary easement needs as soon as practical and account for the property
acquisition process in the project schedule.
SCOPE OF SERVICES;
The scope of our work would include the following key design tasks:
1. Traffic Study—We understand that the City of Eden Prairie will provide traffic counts at
the intersection as needed. This would include hourly approach volumes and a.m. and
p.m. peak hour turning volumes. SRF will analyze the traffic counts and prepare 20-year
forecast volumes. We will prepare a Traffic Operations Memorandum with
recommended turn lanes and roadway geometries.
2. Field Surveys — SRF surveyors will perform topographic field surveys, as needed, to
prepare an existing conditions planimetric basemap.
3. Preliminary Design (Ultimate Geometric Layout) — SRF will prepare a preliminary
geometric layout with construction limits to assist City staff in reviewing the project with
local residents and the City Council. The layout will include horizontal and vertical
alignments and proposed geometries for all roadways. Typical sections for all roadways
will be shown. We will develop a pavement design based on geotechnical
recommendations (by others — geotechnical services are not included in this scope of
services). Potential ponding areas will be identified. Construction limits will be shown
based on preliminary cross sections, and right-of-way and temporary easement needs will
be identified on the layout.
T
Mr.Rod W_Rue,P.E. -3 - October 2,2002 -
4. Alternative Interim Improvements-SRF will work with City staff to develop up to three
(3) design alternatives that would consist of interim improvements that could be
constructed prior to constructing the ultimate roadway improvements.
5. Interim Geometric Layout - After working with City staff and reviewing the interim
alternatives, SRF will prepare a preliminary geometric layout based on the preferred
alternative.
6. Construction Cost Estimates - SRF will compile project quantities and prepare
preliminary construction cost estimates for the ultimate roadway improvement project
and the interim alternatives.
SCHEDULE
SRF will complete this work within a mutually agreed upon time schedule. We estimate -
completing the preliminary design in 2002. We understand that the City would like to construct
the project in 2003 or 2004.
BASIS OF PAYMENT AND BUDGET
We'propose to be reimbursed for our services on an hourly basis for actual time expended at the
- rates set forth in our existing Agreement. Other direct project expenses, such as printing,
supplies,reproduction,etc. would be reimbursed at cost,and mileage would be reimbursed at the
current allowable IRS rate for business miles. Invoices are submitted on a monthly basis for
work performed during the previous month. Payment is due within 30 days.
Based on the scope of services, we estimate the cost of our services for the project as follows:
1. Project Management/Coordination $ 7,140
2. Surveys and Mapping $21,112
3. Traffic Study $ 3,376
4. Preliminary Design (Ultimate) $19,150
5. Alternative Interim Improvements $12,128
6. Interim Layout $ 5,872
7. Construction Cost Estimates $ 4,960
8. Non-Salary Expenses $ 933
Total Estimated Costs $74,671
CHANGES IN SCOPE OF SERVICES
We will not exceed the budget amounts without your approval.
It is understood that if the scope or extent of work changes, the cost will be adjusted accordingly.-
Before any out-of-scope work is done, however, we will submit a budget for the new work and
will not begin work until we receive authorization from you.

Requested Action
Move to: Approve Travel Demand Management Agreement with Residential Funding
Corporation for the Shady Oak Technology Building.
• Synopsis
Residential Funding Corporation purchased the Shady Oak Technology Building in August
2002. In order to secure the Developer's obligation to implement the Travel Demand '
Management Plan Residential Funding Corporation has chosen to escrow funds rather than
provide a letter of credit. The Travel Demand Management Agreement defines the conditions of
the escrow account.
Background Information
The Developer's Agreement for the Shady Oak Technology Building (dated August 15, 2000)
allowed for a proposed building of 26,024 square feet on 2.7 acres of land located in the
northeast corner of the Shady Oak Road / West 69th Street intersection. The Developer's
Agreement also required the Developer to implement a Travel Demand Management Plan to
help reduce traffic congestion in the area and to provide a letter of credit equal to the cost of
implementing the first 2 years of the plan.
The building was completed in 2001 and has yet to be occupied. In August 2002, Residential
Funding Corporation purchased the building. In order to meet the conditions of the Developer's
Agreement and secure the Developer's obligation to implement the Travel Demand Management
Plan Residential Funding Corporation was required to provide a letter of credit to the City.
Residential Funding Corporation then requested that they secure the Developer's obligation to
implement a Travel Demand Management Plan with escrowed funds rather than with a letter of
credit. The Travel Demand Management Agreement defines the conditions of the escrow
account.

Parks and Recreation Tree Fort in Conservation Easement at 11623 u
Robert A. Lambert Director Landing Road
Requested Action
Motion: Move to approve the agreement relating to conservation/scenic easement
authorizing the construction of a tree fort within the conservation easement
located at 11623 Landing Road.
Synopsis
Andrew and Kathy Washburn, residents at 11623 Landing Road, have requested the City allow
them to construct a tree fort within the conservation easement on their property with the
following conditions:
1. The size of the structure will be below the size requiring a building permit and no more
than 12 inches of material related to the tree fort may touch the ground within the
easement area.
2. The tree fort structure will be removed within ten years from the date of this agreement or
the sale of the property,whichever occurs earlier.
3. The structure will be removed and not replaced if the tree becomes diseased and needs to
be removed.
4. If the structure is destroyed or damaged the structure must be removed and may not be
rebuilt.
5. The Washburn's shall post a $2,000 bond to enforce the covenants. The $2,000 will
remain with the City until the tree fort has been removed in accordance with the
agreement.
6. The covenants will be filed against the property.
Background
At the September 3rd meeting, the Washburn's and their attorney Brian Liebo appeared before
the Council to request the City grant them the ability to construct the tree fort within the
conservation easement on their property. The City Council was reluctant to grant the request
fearing that it may set a precedent and encourage similar requests.
1
City Council Agenda 10/15/02
Request to Construct Tree Fort in Conservation Easement at 11623 Landing Road
Page 2
The Washbums and many of their neighbors were in attendance and indicated that the majority
of the people that live in the neighborhood and could view the structure supported the
construction of the tree fort as a place where neighborhood children could play and that the
structure would not require removal of vegetation within the conservation easement.
The City Council directed staff to meet with the Washbums and their representative to determine
if a solution could be developed that would allow the structure without setting a precedent. City
staff does not believe the existing structure will cause serious damage to the tree as it is
constructed and it appears as though the surrounding neighbors support the request;therefore, the
additional concern regarding the City's commitment to preserving the natural condition of the
area is apparently not an issue. City staff believes the attached agreement will ensure a relatively
short existence of this structure and is likely too cumbersome to encourage similar requests.

AGREEMENT RELATING TO CONSERVATION/SCENIC EASEMENT
This Agreement is made this 4th day of October, 2002, by and between the City of Eden

Gene Dietz Code Section 9.71,Relating Maintenance of .A-
Engineering Department Vegetation
Requested Action
•
MOTION: Approve the first reading of the Ordinance amending City Code Section 9.71,
relating to Maintenance of Vegetation.
Synopsis
This minor code change is to make the language regarding how we collect special assessments
for non payment of"weed cutting"bills conform to our actual practice in conformance with
Statutory regulations.
Background
During the process of revising the City Code to allow maintenance and preservation of native
plantings in certain areas on private property,the language on the process of collection unpaid
bills was inadvertently changed. The language allowed the certification of delinquent billings by
the City Clerk,when in fact the City Council authorizes certification of unpaid bills to Hennepin
County after a specific notification and hearing process. Staff has always followed the correct
process;this code change merely corrects the language in the City Code.

11 THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EDEN PRAIRIE, MINNESOTA, ORDAINS:
12
13 Section 1. City Code Chapter 9 is amended by adding Section 9.42 as follows:
14
15 Section 9.42. Eden Prairie Smokefree Air Ordinance of 2002. This
16 Section shall be known as the Eden Prairie Smokefree Air Ordinance of
17 2002.
18
19 Subd. 1. General Provisions
20
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
38 people, individuals with cardiovascular disease, and
39 individuals with impaired respiratory function, including
40 asthmatics and those with obstructive airway disease.
41 Children exposed to secondhand smoke have an increased
/01
42 risk of asthma, respiratory infections, sudden infant death
43 syndrome, developmental abnormalities, and cancer.
44
45 (4) The Americans With Disabilities Act, which requires that
46 disabled persons have access to public places and
47 workplaces, deems impaired respiratory function to be a
48 disability.
49
50 (5) The U.S. Surgeon General has determined that the simple
51 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
54 Protection Agency has determined that secondhand smoke
55 cannot be reduced to safe levels in businesses by high rates
56 of ventilation. Air cleaners, which are only capable of filtering
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
62 businesses suffer a 25-50% higher risk of heart attack and
63 higher rates of death from cardiovascular disease and
64 cancer, as well as increased acute respiratory disease and
65 measurable decrease in lung function.
66
67 (7) Smoke-filled workplaces result in higher worker absenteeism
68 due to respiratory disease, lower productivity, higher
69 cleaning and maintenance costs, increased health insurance
70 rates, and increased liability claims for diseases related to
71 exposure to secondhand smoke.
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.
76
77 (9) Accordingly, the Eden Prairie City Council finds and declares
78 that the purposes of this ordinance are (1) to protect the
79 public health and welfare by prohibiting smoking in city
80 facilities and parks; and (2) to guarantee the right of
81 nonsmokers to breathe smokefree air, and to recognize that
82 the need to breathe smokefree air shall have priority over the
83 desire to smoke.

Requested Action
Adopt Resolution relating to the'Southwest Rail Transit Study.
Synopsis
The resolution was prepared in response to a proclamation submitted to the City Council on
September 30,2002 by a group of local citizens known as "Trails Without Rails". The group
desires Coucil advocacy on their behalf with the Hennepin County Regional Rail Authority
(HCRRA)while the HCRRA is conducting the Southwest Rail Transit Study.
The resolution was prepared in consultation with City staff, Southwest Metro Transit, and
representatives of the Trails Without Rails group. The resolution was also prepared with past
public comments by Councilmembers in mind. I have shared the resolution with staff at
HCRRA.
The resolution formally communicates the current preferences of the City Council to the
HCRRA regarding the Southwest Rail Transit Study. The study is slated to be completed in
March/April 2003. The intent of the resolution is to provide the HCRRA a clear set of
preferences and expectations of Eden Prairie will be looking for at the conclusion of the study.

RESOLUTION NO.2002-
RESOLUTION RELATING TO THE SOUTHWEST RAIL TRANSIT STUDY
WHEREAS, The City of Eden Prairie is a fast growing suburb of Minneapolis whose
residents want to balance transit issues with an ability to preserve the beauty and environmental
value of the land which surrounds us; and
WHEREAS, while we recognize the short-term and long-term transit needs of our
community, we believe that all transit and roadway solutions need to be considered in a broad
context of financial, social and environmental impacts; and
WHEREAS, the City of Eden Prairie has already taken measures to participate in
roadway solutions that impact the community and are looking at additional investments that may
improve the existing roadway system; and
WHEREAS, the City of Eden Prairie has developed, consistent with the Met Council's
wishes, a sophisticated, yet financially feasible, bus system that serves the transit needs of its
community effectively. This bus system provides very reliable, cost effective commuter service
to Eden Prairie residents working in downtown Minneapolis and is in the process of expanding;
and
WHEREAS,more than one-third of all workers in Eden Prairie work within the"Golden
Triangle," the Southwest Metro Station is in very close proximity and along one of the arteries
that border it(Highways 212/5); and
WHEREAS, the Southwest Corridor (trail) is used by more than 250,000 residents per
year for recreational purposes and serves as a natural and beautiful amenity to the City and
surrounding communities; and
WHEREAS, the Southwest Corridor, as it passes through Eden Prairie, runs primarily
through residential and conservation areas and not along land masses occupied by businesses or
other commercial enterprises; and
WHEREAS, the study currently being conducted by the Hennepin County
Commissioners is attempting to establish the alignment of an LRT along the Southwest Corridor
because it owns the railway easements; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has had the opportunity to study the proposed alignments,
receive input from its professional staff, and consult with its citizens, has been asked by
Hennepin County to comment on the Southwest Rail Transit Study.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE EDEN PRAIRIE CITY
COUNCIL:
1. The City Council prefers an alignment,such as the alignment known as option W8,that
best serves the employee transportation needs of the Eden Prairie business community,
with an emphasis on the employee transportation needs of those employers in the Golden
Triangle area i r;
2. The City Council prefers an alignment that strengthens the mission of the community's
current transit provider of choice,Southwest Metro Transit,by terminating the alignment
into a multi-modal transit node at the Southwest Metro Station.
3. The financial feasibility analysis of the proposed alignments included the Southwest Rail
Transit Study should include estimates of the expenditure of funds by all city, county,
state, and federal levels of government, and by regulated public utilities,that will be
required to complete road and utility improvement and relocation projects which are
required for the construction of the project.
4. The financial feasibility analysis of the proposed alignments should include an analysis of
the automobile traffic displaced from the regional transportation system within the SW
LRT Corridor area that is directly attributable to that proposed alignment. The Southwest
Rail Transit study should clearly articulate its basic assumptions and methodologies for
its ridership projections for each alignment.
5. The study should clearly articulate the projected construction costs, annual operating
costs, and annual capital costs for the project. The study should clearly identify the
assumptions and methodologies employed to create the construction cost estimates of the
alignment and its future operating and capital replacement cost projections.
6. The City Council prefers an alignment option that complements and coordinates with the
transit services offered by Southwest Metro Transit. The City Council will be reluctant
to support alignments that may undermine the current or future operations of South West
Metro Transit.
7. The City Council prefers the preservation of the existing recreational use of the SW LRT
Trail. Should the final alignment of the Southwest Rail Transit Study result in an
alignment other than the SW LRT Corridor, City of Eden Prairie will agree to accept the
ownership and maintenance responsibilities of the SW LRT Corridor through our
community and to preserve its current recreational use.
ADOPTED by the Eden Prairie City Council on October 15,2002.

Requested Action:
Move to: Approve Second 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 first reading of the Ordinance was approved at the October 1, 2002, meeting.
The proposed ordinance codifies the City expenditure process changes incorporated in the
resolution adopted 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 was adopted 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 effective January
1, 2003. This timeline will satisfy state statutes on this matter.
