UNAPPROVED MINUTES EDEN PRAIRIE CITY COUNCIL WORKSHOP/FORUM TUESDAY,DECEMBER 21, 2004 CITY CENTER 5:00 - 6 :25 PM ,HERITAGE ROOM II 6:30 - 7:00 PM, COUNCIL CHAMBER CITY COUNCIL: Mayor Nancy Tyra-Lukens, Councilmembers Sherry Butcher, Ron Case, Jan Mosman, and Philip Young CITY STAFF: City Manager Scott Neal ,Police Chief Dan Carlson ,Fire Chief George Esbensen ,Public Works Director Eugene Dietz ,Parks and Recreation Director Bob Lambert ,Community Development Director Janet Jeremiah ,Communications Manager Pat Brink ,Assistant to the City Manager Michael Barone ,City Attorney Ric Rosow ,and Recorder Lorene McWaters Heritage Room II 1.NEW BRAND IDENTITY SYSTEM Sony Styrland, a member of the City's Arts and Culture Commission, began the presentation on the process for creation of the City's new brand identity. Also presenting were Judy Reishus and Steve Swanson from Baker Associates, the graphic design firm that collaborated with the City and Styrland on the project. The process is called brand architecture, begins with development of a "brand promise." The brand promise the team developed for this City was "A place to live, work, dream." From there the team conducted focus groups that identified positive attributes of Eden Prairie to be embodied in the design. The focus groups included people who live and /or work in Eden Prairie .These groups said they see Eden Prairie as vital ,growing ,and family -oriented community .The major themes identified were affluence/upscale ,growth/development ,family ,nature /beauty, and schools /education .The groups were also shown several different logo designs and were asked which one(s )they felt best represented Eden Prairie .The same design was chosen by each group .The main design is a vertical rectangle with prairie grasses ,a rising sun, and a soaring bird along with the words "Eden Prairie -- Live, Work,Dream ."The main colors black ,gold and orange .The team also developed a "palette "of colors that represent both the commercial /industrial and the open space /nature aspects of the City. They explained these colors can be used by departments to differentiate themselves if desired. The team also explained that the design consists of several elements that can be pulled out and arranged differently depending on the particular use. Communications Manager Pat Brink showed how the design will be incorporated into the City 's renovated web site, which will go live January 1. Mayor Tyra-Lukens said she loves the theme and the tag line. Councilmembers Butcher and Mosman also said they are pleased with the design. II.OTHER Councilmember Mosman said as an outgoing member of the Council, she had two topics to present. The first involves Council correspondence, which she said she has already discussed with City Manager Scott Neal. She said it seems that the feeling among Councilmembers is that if one of them receives a letter, e-mail, phone call, etc., then the others have received the same communication. Mosman said this is not always the case, so she suggested a policy of forwarding pertinent communications to the City Managers' office to be distributed to all of the Councilmembers and appropriate Commission members and staff. Mosman said she also feels it is important that discussions at the Council level need to take place with the whole Council. She urged the Council to try to keep these types of discussions at Council meetings and workshops rather than in other venues. Council Chamber III.OPEN FORUM A.Polling Places - John Mallo Mr. Mallo, 14000 Forest Hills Drive, addressed Council on concerns he has regarding polling places. His concerns involve the use of churches as polling places and the rules requiring private parties to be at least 100 feet away from the polling place.Mallo asked Council to support proposed new legislation regarding polling places.Mayor Tyra-Lukens asked if this topic could be addressed at a workshop early in January. City Manager Scott Neal said he would distribute Mallo's letter to the Council and appropriate staff. Neal also noted that staff and the Mayor met with Mallo on this topic in December and had agreed to research the use of polling places and report back on it in January. B.Dog Park Update - Libby Hargrove Libby Hargrove updated Council on a proposed dog park in Staring Lake Park, and thanked outgoing Councilmember Mosman for her support on the dog park. IV.OPEN PODIUM No one requested to speak at open podium. V.ADJOURNMENT ITEM NO .:VI. B.

Young commented on Item VI.G. He said the subject of the resolution seemed to be a pretty important concept. He said it's a big step for any city to take and he questions the need for it as well as the implications for property taxes. He said it brings up a host of issues and it troubles him. Neal said the resolution is one that was received from the League of Minnesota Cities, but some of the other associated groups are also encouraging their members to adopt similar resolutions. Neal said staff honed the suggested resolution down to one particular piece being the street utility that the council has expressed past support for. He said this is the time when these kind of things can make a difference to legislators who are considering them. Neal said there is some time to talk about it in January if council desires to have more discussion on it, but it is less significant past January when the legislative session stretches on. Case asked if the SRA has a stand on this. Dietz said the SRA would not be involved with this because it is a mechanism to add a certain dollar value onto a water bill, to be collected and used similar to the storm water utility. He said it was honed down from the actual League of Cities' request to include taxes on motor vehicle fuel and changing law regarding special assessments and allocation of certain other funds to cities under 5,000. He said staff focused it strictly on the street utility so that if it were approved, it would not require that it be used but it would enable legislation so that anyone could use it. Case said he would support more information on it. MOTION: Young moved to amend the motion to include postponement of discussion and consideration of Item VI.G. until the second meeting in January, 2005. Seconded by Case,motion carried 5-0. CITY COUNCIL MEETING December 21, 2004 Page 4 VII.PUBLIC HEARINGS / MEETINGS A.VACATION OF RIGHT-OF-WAY FOR PART OF TECHNOLOGY DRIVE, VACATION 04-12 (Resolution No. 2004-176) City Manager Scott Neal stated that official notice of this public hearing was published in the December 2, 2004,Eden Prairie Sun Current and sent to 4 property owners. He said the adjacent property owner, Dri-Steem Corporation, has requested this vacation to enable ownership of the land under its driveway, which crosses the Right-of-Way, to ensure access. They would also like the additional area contained within the Right-of-Way to have more flexibility in connection with future building expansion in compliance with impervious surface requirements. Neal said the area requested for vacation was dedicated to the City through the plat of Hoyt Roberts Second Addition in 1986 and was used as a turn-around for Technology Drive until the roadway was extended in 1993. Public utilities may exist within the area requested for vacation, therefore, a drainage and utility easement will be preserved over the entire area. There were no public comments. MOTION: Butcher moved, seconded by Mosman, to close the Public Hearing and adopt a resolution vacating the Right-of-Way for part of Technology Drive as further described in the vacation resolution.Motion carried 5-0. B.VACATION OF RIGHT-OF-WAY FOR PART OF WEST 175TH AVENUE, VACATION 04-13 (Resolution No. 2004-177) City Manager Scott Neal reported that official notice of this public hearing was published in the December 2, 2004,Eden Prairie Sun Current and sent to 10 property owners. He said the property located at 6600 West 175th Avenue was purchased by the City in July 2004, to facilitate the construction of a gravity sanitary sewer line across the property. The existing house is not in conformance with front setback requirements; therefore, this vacation request is presented to bring the property into conformance with the standard front yard setback. He said this proposal considers the vacation of right-of-way necessary to provide a 30-foot setback from the front property line. The "bubble" right-of-way was dedicated through the plat of Sunset Ridge to provide the minimum front footage required per lot for R1-22 zoning. Neal said although West 175th Avenue and West 66th Street were not constructed to follow the "bubble" configuration, a sanitary sewer lift station was placed within the right- of-way. The purchase of the property by the City allowed the construction of a gravity sewer main, eliminating the lift station and the need for maintenance access to the station.A drainage and utility easement will be retained over the sanitary sewer and watermain located within the proposed vacated area. There were no public comments. CITY COUNCIL MEETING December 21, 2004 Page 5 MOTION: Case moved, seconded by Butcher, to close the public hearing and adopt a resolution vacating the Right-of-Way for Part of West 175th Avenue as further described in the vacation resolution.Motion carried 5-0. C.FIRST READING OF AN ORDINANCE AMENDING CHAPTER 9 OF THE CITY CODE BY ADDING SECTION 9.16 ENTITLED EXTERIOR BUILDING MAINTENANCE City Manager Scott Neal stated that official notice of this public hearing was published in the December 2, 2004,Eden Prairie Sun Current.He said this ordinance will amend City Code Chapter 9 by adding a new Section 9.16 relating to exterior building maintenance, and adopting by reference, City Code Chapter 1 and Section 9.99, which contain penalty provisions. The Community Planning Board voted 6 - 1 to recommend approval of the code change at the September 27, 2004 meeting. Neal said the goal of the proposed Exterior Building Maintenance Code is to require the maintenance of buildings, fences and other structures so their physical condition does not detract from the surrounding neighborhood. The objective is to proactively develop a property maintenance code that will: •Decrease the risk of blight •Decrease the concentration of crime •Keep peace within neighborhoods •Achieve theoretical gain in the future quality of buildings •Maintain property values Neal reminded the council that Building Official Kevin Schmieg gave a presentation earlier this year on this matter and is present tonight. Schmieg reported that the Community Planning Board voted 6-1 to approve this. He said the intention is to set community standards and not allow individuals to set standards within the neighborhoods. He said this proposed code is a proactive approach to exterior building maintenance. Schmieg said now is the time to enact these codes because it can be done with a higher level of standards than if we wait until such time as when there are significant problems in the community. He said he feels this is a significant investment in the community's future with little impact to the citizenry today. He said there are very few homes now that this will affect, but this allows us to set a community standard early on. Mosman asked who would be contacted in the case of a small apartment or duplex where the landlord is out of the area and what kind of timeframe would be allowed. Schmieg said it would vary with seasonal issues and those who do not comply would have an option to appeal to the council. Schmieg said he doesn't see a significant problem with getting in touch with the property owners. Mosman asked if it includes every kind of property or just residential. Schmieg said it includes all types of properties. Case asked how it would operate and would it be only on a complaint basis. Schmieg said it would be on a complaint basis and the complaint could be initiated from city personnel, but predominantly from neighbors. CITY COUNCIL MEETING December 21, 2004 Page 6 There were no public comments. Rosow pointed out two typographical changes. He said in Subd. 2 Standards, H., in the first line it reads "including but" the next word should be "not" which changes the "no" to a "not." Rosow also stated Subd. 3 Enforcement, paragraph A., the last word of the first line should be "this" rather than "its." MOTION: Young moved, seconded by Mosman, to close the Public Hearing; and approve 1St reading of the ordinance to amend Chapter 9 by adding a new Section 9.16 Entitled Exterior Building Maintenance as amended in comments from the city attorney.Motion carried 5-0. VIII.PAYMENT OF CLAIMS MOTION: Mosman moved, seconded by Case to approve the Payment of Claims as submitted.The motion was approved on a roll call vote with Butcher ,Case ,Mosman, Young and Tyra-Lukens voting "aye." IX.ORDINANCES AND RESOLUTIONS A.FIRST AND SECOND READING OF AN ORDINANCE NO. 35-2004 AMENDING CITY CODE SECTION 2.25 AND OTHER APPLICABLE SECTIONS BY CHANGING THE NAME OF THE COMMUNITY PLANNING BOARD TO THE PLANNING COMMISSION City Manager Scott Neal reported that "Community Planning Board" is a non- standard name for the citizen advisory group that most communities call the "Planning Commission". Planning Commission is a commonly accepted term in both the private and public land development sectors. It is also a term that is more commonly used and understood in the Court system. Neal said he believes there are subtle benefits to the City by using standardized organizational nomenclature and staff has alerted the members of the Planning Board that this issue will be before the Council on December 21St.He said he has encouraged them to speak to it, if they wish. Absent any concerns from the members of the Community Planning Board, Neal said he recommends that the Council adopt the first and second readings of the Ordinance. MOTION: Case moved, seconded by Young, to approve First and Second Readings of Ordinance changing the name of the Community Planning Board to the Planning Commission by amending City Code Section 2.25; directing the City Clerk to make corresponding changes throughout the City Code where the name Community Planning Board appears; and adopting by reference City Code Chapter 1 and Section 2.99, which among other things, contain penalty provisions.Motion carried 5-0. B.SECOND READING OF AN ORDINANCE NO. 26-2004 AMENDING CHAPTER 9 OF THE CITY CODE BY ADDING SECTION 9.16 ENTITLED EXTERIOR BUILDING MAINTENANCE CITY COUNCIL MEETING December 21, 2004 Page 7 City Manager Scott Neal stated that the first reading of this ordinance was held under the Public Hearing portion of this meeting and it was approved by unanimous vote. MOTION: Mosman moved, seconded by Case, to approve 2°d reading of the ordinance to amend Chapter 9 by adding a new Section 9.16 Entitled Exterior Building Maintenance.Motion carried 5-0. X.PETITIONS, REQUESTS AND COMMUNICATIONS XI.REPORTS OF ADVISORY BOARDS & COMMISSIONS XII.APPOINTMENTS XIII.REPORTS OF OFFICERS A.REPORTS OF COUNCILMEMBERS Case -Spending of Historic Dollars Case said he believes everyone is getting tired of letters flying back and forth about how the city spends historic dollars. He said he needs to clarify one more time that this council has not veered off course in 30 years in choosing to not use private groups to fund historic properties. He said the significance of the clarification is whether 25 years ago someone representing the historical society stood up at a meeting and said they will do fund raising for the city council. Case said he had a recent phone conversation with Carol Hone from Phoenix, Arizona, who was very involved in the city in the 1970s and 1980s. He said Hone was the first chairperson of the Historical and Cultural Commission and she said she came before the council twice in the early 1980s discussing plans to raise money for restoration of the Cummins Grill. Case said Hone was addressing the idea that the city could sponsor various fundraising efforts or she would get a group to do that. He said the consistency is that for 30 years the city has never directed a private group to do fundraising. Case said the council agrees that we have to look at creative ways of funding any and all city owned properties .He said it is his hope that we would find creative funding solutions that limit the use of tax dollars as we maintain and expand all park infrastructures ,but in the end it is the city's responsibility to maintain this infrastructure. Young said his point is that he hopes the public scolding is over and we move beyond it because he does not know that it is good use of this time. Mosman said she thinks this is a confusing differentiation between the commissions of the city and the historical society.She said it is good for community members to understand that splitting hairs may not be a bad idea because we all want to be clear as we move forward and have discussion on who is supposed to be doing what. CITY COUNCIL MEETING December 21, 2004 Page 8 Tyra-Lukens - Thanks to Councilmember Mosman Tyra-Lukens noted that Mosman chose not to run for reelection this fall and gave a list of things she admires about Mosman. She thanked her for four years of dedication to the city. Butcher said Mosman has been an asset to the city before and in addition to her time on the council and she feels Mosman will continue her contributions to the city. Butcher said Mosman is the hardest working councilmember she has ever met and has been very approachable and has truly made a difference in local government. Young said Mosman brings honor to the position of councilmember and she stands by her positions which is a credit to anyone who holds the seat. Case gave a synopsis of the history of the council's past four years and thanked Mosman for her efforts during that time. He noted the positive impacts Mosman had on issues during the past four years. He said in his 14 years of being involved in city government, he cannot remember a councilmember being more accessible, willing to carry the flag of resident concerns and issues, and committed to spending hours representing various viewpoints. He said the people of Eden Prairie have been well served by having Mosman as one of their representatives. He said she came on as a servant of the people and she didn't let them down. Mosman thanked councilmembers for their support. She said she feels this group, as well as staff, has dealt well with controversial issues and has done so professionally. She said she appreciates the variety of expertise within the group and she is pleased to have worked with them. She also thanked the off-leash dog group for staying involved, researching issues related to other off-leash parks in the country, and finding resources for the committee. B.REPORT OF CITY MANAGER 1.2005 Property Tax Levy and 2005 Fund Budget (Resolution No. 2004- 1 Neal said the presentation tonight is a reiteration of a previous presentation at the Truth-In-Taxation Hearing and also during a workshop earlier this year. He said he asked Finance Manager Sue Kochevar to comment on the proposed budget for 2005. Kochevar gave a brief summary of the budget. She said the total amount to be levied in property taxes in 2005 is $25,692,822 which is a 3.57% increase over the 2004 levy. She said the total budget equals $32,440,445 which is a 2.9% increase in budget over 2004. She said a balanced budget is proposed, with revenues equaling expenditures and we have maintained level debt service payments. She said the monthly cost of city services is $78.58 for the median value home which is a 3.7% increase over last year. CITY COUNCIL MEETING December 21, 2004 Page 9 MOTION: Mosman moved, seconded by Case, to adopt resolution certifying the 2005 Property Tax levy to be $25,692,822; and approve the 2005 Budget of $32,440,445 as reviewed by the Council on December 7, 2004. Young stated he feels the motion has two substantive pieces and one timing piece .He said when the council first looked at the budget in September he had a number of questions that did not involve the increase because it is a modest increase and the smallest increase of any suburban municipality .He said he wanted to look at the entirety of the budget, what does the city spend and how do we compare to other cities and what is the right size for our people. He said he spent time with Neal and Kochevar finding historical budget information regarding growth and comparison to other cities. Young said the budget itself is a credit to staff and proposed increases are modest ;however he has unresolved questions .He said the growth of the fund reserve balance over the last couple years. He said we have always budgeted for revenues to meet expenditures but historically we have had revenues in excess of expenditures so some of the fund reserves have been growing. He said he thinks that's fine and we need to have fund reserves and it 's good that they grow ,but the question that ultimately comes is at what level should they grow and what should we do when they reach that level. He asked if the council has a plan for that growth or has it been happening without a plan. Young said we now have a revenue stabilization fund which is a good thing for those years when revenues may decrease without the funding sources we have today but that fund has grown over the last five years from $1 million to over $5 million .He asked what the impact is of that fund on how we pay for our budget and does the council have a policy for the level of that fund. Young said he does not know the answers to those questions and he is reluctant to vote in favor of a tax increase to pay for the budget which he approves of. Young said he will not support an increase in the property tax levy and will vote against the budget with this explanation. Tyra-Lukens stated it is important to have a budget passed unanimously and it is critical that the council agree on the budget .She said she is struggling with why this was not brought up earlier in the budget process over the past two years. She said there has been plenty of time to raise concerns about the fund balances and she said she does not recall Young raising a single question during the budget presentation in August .Tyra-Lukens said if it's a sincere effort to address the issue of a fund balance, perhaps Young could vote in favor of the budget with a stipulation that council direct staff to do a presentation on what are the issues regarding a fund balance and create discussion on what the council is comfortable with for a fund balance. She said that would not be something new at all and in the past the council has voted in favor of a budget and worked with staff following that time to come up with what the council was comfortable with for a certain fund. Tyra- CITY COUNCIL MEETING December 21, 2004 Page 10 Lukens said she has a problem with Young voting against the budget when he has been a part of the process for two years. Young said it was not the budget, but the fund balances and the growth of them which became clear not during the explanation in September, but as he sat down with Neal and Kochevar in November. He said he does not recall that it was discussed at the workshop in September and he made his reservations clear to staff. Tyra-Lukens said if Young wants to convince councilmembers that the reserve needs to be addressed, why it was not brought up earlier. She said it is difficult at the 11`" hour for those councilmembers who have not heard Young's discussions with staff on the levels of the reserve. Tyra-Lukens urged Young to support the budget and add an amendment to it directing staff to do an immediate February presentation to council on budget reserve issues and what other cities are doing and what the sense is of what the cap is for the reserve. She said she thinks everybody's comfort level for the reserve is different and we need to discuss it as a council. Young said he wanted to come out stronger with a formal motion that we not approve the budget and pay for the budget increase out of the reserves, but elected not to because of the timing of the issue, but he said he needed to make his concerns known. He said he does not know how to solve his concerns about this short of not supporting the tax increase. He said he feels a $5.5 million budget increase is way too high, a rainy day fund essentially. He said the revenue preservation fund is much too high and he is uncomfortable with the fact that even though we budget for balanced budgets, historically we end up with profit. Neal explained that in 1998, the city council established the revenue stabilization fund because Eden Prairie was at the end of a boom cycle and there were revenues coming in primarily related to land development that were not sustainable into the long-term future of Eden Prairie. He said staff and the council recognized that and set up a mechanism where the council would budget for a specific level of revenues to come in and anything that came in over that level was put into the revenue stabilization fund. Neal said that was a very prudent budgeting practice by a city because not many cities would have the self discipline to not spend every dollar that comes into the city. Neal said we don't know from one year to the next what state impacts might have on our revenues. He said for example, state shared revenues were taken away in 2003 so he believes the revenue stabilization fund is important and is a classic rainy day fund. He said questions raised by Councilmember Young are questions that council and staff should have discussion about. He said there should be discussion on how the fund should grow, and when do we buy down the tax increase or level of spending from one year to the next, but the CITY COUNCIL MEETING December 21, 2004 Page 11 city's rate of growth is the lowest in Hennepin County and lowest among MLC comparable cities. Neal said budget and fund balances are reviewed by independent CPAs and the state auditor's office, both of whom have found that the fund balances are within tolerances that they establish. He said the city has been classified by the state auditor's office as moderately high. He said above that are three other levels being high, very high and extremely high; and below that are acceptable, low fund and extremely low fund so the city is in the middle of a seven-tiered system. He said the presence of the revenue stabilization fund was an important factor to Moody's when the city achieved its AAA bond rating. Butcher said she feels uncomfortable about the 11th hour timing from Young. She said the budget is complicated with many aspects and the stabilization fund is just one aspect to a very healthy process. She said one of the reasons we have the AAA bond rating is because of our prudent and forward looking philosophy. She said she feels uncomfortable when the council has been to the table so many other times discussing other aspects of the budget so she would like to see a unanimous vote. Mosman said she had also wondered where we were on that fund so she emailed Kochevar and found that we are in the middle and not somewhere near the top or bottom. She said the State of Minnesota went from a AAA rating to a AA 1 and Eden Prairie went from a AA 1 up to a AAA rating so she feels the city is doing something right. Young said he began analysis trying to get his arms around the budget and this was an unintended consequence of it. He said he raised his concerns to staff as early as he could and tried to be very clear, sensitive to the timing issue, how much in favor of the budget he is. Case said if indeed it's so important to have this discussed, it could have started months ago in meetings and he is frustrated that it's an issue that has so much history to it had Young had the opportunity to hear the history on it, particularly the three members who were part of the establishment of the fund in 1998. Case said the problem he has tonight with Young voting against a budget on that issue is everything else Young would be voting against including park maintenance, youth programming, athletic programs, special events, the arts, the senior center, beaches, oak point pool, the community center, protective clothing for the police department, and the police and fire departments. He said you should really be asking the council to vote against it and what does that say about a budget we've worked on for several months to narrow down. Young said if he firmly believes it is an inappropriate level for a rainy day fund, and then what does he do. Case said the mayor gave an option. Case called the question.
